If Wei Xueming hadn't mentioned it, it would have been fine. But as soon as she did, Yun Ni got even more furious. Immediately, she picked up a fruit plate and threw it at the stage, shouting angrily:
"What's wrong with me saying a few words? The woman in this play is just as shameless as Yun Xi!
"She already has the Prince Xian, but she still clings to the Crown Prince. Isn't she just trying to make men jealous of each other to show off how amazing she is? Since she dares to do such things, why can't I scold her?"
Yun Ni gritted her teeth and spoke with righteous indignation. Her chest was filled with anger, and her voice was so loud that the actors on the stage stopped their actions and looked at each other, not daring to sing anymore.
"What's going on? Who is this Yun Xi?"
The Eighth Princess frowned. Instead of scolding Yun Ni, she turned to Li Ji beside her and asked.
Just as Li Ji was about to explain, Wei Xueming quickly said:
"Your Highness the Eighth Princess, Yun Xi is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and Yun Ni's elder sister. She is the Princess Yongning who was praised by the Emperor at the banquet.
"Yun Xi is not only talented and beautiful but also came up with a good strategy to relieve the disaster for the Emperor. She is a very kind person. Yun Ni has some misunderstandings about her elder sister. Please don't believe her angry words."
After Wei Xueming's explanation, the Eighth Princess immediately remembered Yun Xi, who was outstanding in appearance and shone brightly at the palace banquet.
At that time, she saw Yun Xi in the crowd at first sight and even recommended to the Empress that the candidate for the Crown Princess should be such a stunning beauty. However, the Empress immediately shook her head and said that this woman was not a good match. At that time, she didn't understand why.
Later, the Emperor showed his extraordinary favor for that woman in public, and her nephew, the Crown Prince, and even her feared Seventh Brother, for the sake of this woman, didn't hesitate to confront the Emperor in public at the risk of their lives. Even now, she still remembered it clearly.
At this moment, she finally understood why the Empress didn't choose that woman as the Crown Princess. Because this Yun Xi was simply the femme fatale in this play!
Once such a woman entered the harem and even became the mother of the country, she would surely bring disaster to the country and the people, making her elder brother and nephew turn against each other and her Seventh Brother become enemies with them!
"Xueming, I don't have such a sister. You don't need to cover up for her! Right and wrong are self - evident!"
"I'm afraid the Crown Prince and the Prince Xian were both deceived by her false appearance, so they were played around by her!"
The angrier Yun Ni got, the more hatred she had for Yun Xi. And everyone present was also shocked.
They didn't know why this young lady was so angry during a good play and even involved the Prince Xian and the current Crown Prince. They were very puzzled but didn't dare to say or ask anything.
The Eighth Princess listened to Yun Ni's words with a gloomy face. Her fingers unconsciously tapped on the table, and her big eyes rolled.
Seeing her like this, Li Ji couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat because he knew that this was the sign that his little aunt was about to cause trouble!
"Little aunt, what are you thinking?"
Li Ji asked with a forced smile. But the Eighth Princess didn't even look at him. She looked directly at Yun Ni and said:
"Isn't your sister already engaged to my Seventh Brother? Let them get married as soon as possible, and she won't have the chance to flirt with others, right?"
Anyway, if she got married, there would be some restrictions on the woman. Judging from the appearance of her Seventh Brother, he would surely not allow his princess to have an affair!
This was the most direct and effective way to stop the dispute for the time being!
The Eighth Princess thought so. However, Yun Ni's face became even more angry:
"She is not engaged to the Prince Xian at all! Some time ago, the Prince Xian came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage, but she refused! And my father also said that he would find a good family for her to marry as soon as possible!"
Yun Ni deliberately took all the blame on Yun Xi, and her words were quite ambiguous. Hearing this, the Eighth Princess immediately frowned angrily:
"What? The marriage between her and my Seventh Brother is fake?!"
Wasn't this clearly a crime of deceiving the Emperor? She heard her Seventh Brother say it clearly at the banquet, and Yun Xi didn't refute it either!
Could it be that Yun Xi found out later that marrying the Seventh Brother as a princess was not as good as marrying the Crown Prince and becoming the Queen in the future? So she pretended to cater to the Seventh Brother at that time to escape the Emperor's attention, and then looked for an opportunity to seduce the Crown Prince?
Immediately, the Eighth Princess was even more disgusted with Yun Xi's behavior of waiting for a high price!
"Outrageous! Who does she think she is? How dare she pick and choose among our royal family? She's really daydreaming!"
The Eighth Princess slapped the table hard. She felt that her dignity as a royal princess had also been offended by Yun Xi. Immediately, she grabbed Li Ji's collar and said:
"Come with me, Princess! I have something for you to do!"
To protect the dignity of their royal family, she must give Yun Xi a severe lesson!
Li Ji was staggered by the Eighth Princess's tug. His face was full of sorrow. He freed his choked neck from the Eighth Princess's hand and said:
"Little aunt, you mustn't be impulsive! If you cause any trouble, I'll be in bad luck too!"
The Eighth Princess didn't watch the play anymore. She didn't care about Li Ji's pleading behind her. She got up and walked straight to the door. At this time, Wei Xueming pulled Yun Ni and chased after them:
"Your Highness the Eighth Princess, where are you going? It's all our fault. We shouldn't have mentioned Yun Xi in front of you."
As she said, Wei Xueming didn't forget to tug at Yun Ni beside her. However, Yun Ni didn't think she was wrong at all. She folded her arms and pouted, not saying a word.
The Eighth Princess looked back at them. She looked down on the timid and cowardly Wei Xueming a little. She said indifferently:
"It's not your fault. It's all that Yun Xi's own fault!"
She shouldn't have played with their royal family just because she was beautiful!
The Eighth Princess glanced at Yun Ni and said coldly:
"And you. Since you hate your sister so much, do you want to uphold justice on behalf of heaven with me?"
Hearing this, Yun Ni was stunned for a moment. Then her face showed joy. She nodded quickly and vowed:
"As long as it's something that can teach Yun Xi a lesson, Your Highness the Eighth Princess, just give the order. I will surely do my best to help!"
"Good. You'll follow my arrangements later!"
"Yes! I'll follow your orders at any time!"
Yun Ni and the Eighth Princess reached a temporary agreement. Finally, a smile appeared on her face. She couldn't wait to see Yun Xi ruined and disgraced!
She even wished she could fly back to the mansion immediately to share this good news with her mother!
Wei Xueming watched all this silently. There was a hint of worry on her face, but the corner of her lips that was gently covered hooked up a smug smile.
The power behind the Eighth Princess was the Empress Dowager. This time, Yun Xi was probably doomed!
No matter what the Eighth Princess and Yun Ni did, it had nothing to do with her. She just needed to wait for Yun Xi to be betrayed by everyone and hated by Rong Gege!
It was okay that Yun Xi stole the limelight of her, the number one talented woman in the capital. But she even dared to compete with her for Rong Gege?
She must make Yun Xi pay a heavy price for this! She must make sure that the other party no longer had the strength to compete with her!
