CHAPTER 831: CHAPTER 831: SEEKING FRESHNESS (16)

Princess Xiangfei had no idea what Shi Yaoguang was critical of internally.

As soon as she saw this man, her eyes stuck to him and couldn’t tear away.

"Beibei, haven’t I already said it? There’s no need for you to bow to me. You are the man at the center of my heart. I may slight others, but I will never slight you."

While speaking, Princess Xiangfei personally helped him up.

The man gently spoke, "Thank you, Your Highness. Beibei understands your feelings toward him, but the etiquette cannot be discarded."

"If someone criticizes Beibei for not adhering to rules, it’ll be Your Highness who gets the headache. Beibei doesn’t want to trouble you."

Princess Xiangfei immediately looked at him with tender affection, "Beibei, you are truly silly."

"If anyone else had this privilege, they would have shown it off already. Only you are always thinking about me in every way."

Beibei’s face blushed bashfully, "Beibei’s heart adores Your Highness. No matter what, Beibei is willing to do anything for Your Highness, and it’s Beibei’s duty to relieve Your Highness’s worries."

"Beibei~" Princess Xiangfei’s face was full of emotion.

Beibei looked at Princess Xiangfei with the same affectionate eyes.

Their interaction could easily fill countless soap operas.

Shi Yaoguang lightly coughed, breaking their "intimate moment."

"Ahem, Princess... Your Highness, may we speak privately?"

Reluctantly, Princess Xiangfei said goodbye to Beibei and followed Shi Yaoguang out of Chunxiang Pavilion.

Princess Xiangfei clearly still worried about Quan Jinbei being an "ugly man."

Even though they had switched bodies, she shared Shi Yaoguang’s concerns.

Shi Yaoguang didn’t want her to find someone who would ruin her reputation and make people question Princess Zhaoyang’s eyesight.

Princess Xiangfei felt the same...

Quan Jinbei was simply too unattractive.

Even though she was now a princess, she still felt that making Shi Yaoguang bear her body and be with Quan Jinbei was like pairing a flower with cow dung.

It made her extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing her expression, Shi Yaoguang sneered, "Surely Princess Xiangfei doesn’t think I must do everything according to your wishes?"

Princess Xiangfei pouted, "There are countless good-looking men, why fixate on that ugly one?"

Shi Yaoguang retorted, "Then why did you choose someone like Beibei to be your Prince Consort?"

At this, Princess Xiangfei’s eyes dodged.

"I..."

Seeing her stammer, Shi Yaoguang sighed, "Perhaps you haven’t realized something yet."

"What?"

Princess Xiangfei looked baffled.

"It’s not that Zhu Xiaotian is ugly, it’s that your eyesight is damaged."

Shi Yaoguang added more evidence, "Haven’t you noticed other people’s reactions when you call him ugly?"

Upon careful thought, Princess Xiangfei did notice something was off.

Still, she found it hard to believe.

If this were true, it would be too fantastical.

Unbelievable.

Seeing her disbelief, Shi Yaoguang shrugged, "Whether you believe it is up to you."

She continued, "No matter your reason for making Beibei your Prince Consort, I won’t interfere. But there’s one thing I hope you understand."

"What?"

Princess Xiangfei looked at her with a defensive gaze.

Afraid Shi Yaoguang would make an unreasonable demand, Princess Xiangfei didn’t trust her not to interfere.

This time, she was wrong.

When Shi Yaoguang said she wouldn’t interfere, she truly didn’t intend to.

Princess Xiangfei was shocked.

"You have no objections to what I’m doing?"

"Of course not, but..." Shi Yaoguang drew out her words, "If Princess Xiangfei wants me to have objections, then I can raise them."

Princess Xiangfei: "..."

That wasn’t what she meant!

She just found it unbelievable.

To think Shi Yaoguang would be so shameless as to exploit the situation.

So embarrassing!

Fortunately, Shi Yaoguang didn’t make any excessive demands.

"I’d like to have a private word with Beibei."

Princess Xiangfei: "..."

Her face twisted for a moment, "Don’t you think being alone with a man and woman is improper?"

Shi Yaoguang straightforwardly shook her head, "No."

Princess Xiangfei: "..."

She didn’t want to agree.

But Shi Yaoguang’s attitude was firm, and she dared not oppose it.

If Shi Yaoguang got angry, what would she do?

With a sigh, she resigned herself.

After all...

Shi Yaoguang held more leverage.

Shi Yaoguang could live well in Princess Xiangfei’s body.

But not her.

Compared to becoming an ordinary person, she preferred being a princess.

In truth, Shi Yaoguang was merely informing her out of courtesy.

If she wanted, she could have met Beibei in private.

She was curious.

Beibei and Quan Jinbei looked alike and even had similar names.

If they claimed they were unrelated, even a pig wouldn’t believe it.

....

Agreeing to let Shi Yaoguang speak to Beibei privately, Princess Xiangfei found Beibei and informed him.

Beibei was very resistant, "Your Highness, why must I meet another woman? Do I mean so little to you?"

He started crying, "Did you lie about loving me? If you don’t want to be with Beibei, just say it. Beibei will leave and relieve you of the trouble."

"If meeting another woman alone, Beibei won’t comply."

"Even if you don’t mind, Beibei has no face to live with!"

Beibei’s words were quite amusing.

Shi Yaoguang laughed.

The sound wasn’t loud, but Beibei heard it.

He felt embarrassed, as if his thoughts were laid bare.

Princess Xiangfei was also embarrassed.

She thought, as her Prince Consort, Beibei was acting disgracefully.

But recalling the divine guidance, she suppressed her dissatisfaction.

If Beibei truly brought her such benefits, she could endure.

She looked at Beibei more gently again.

Reassured, Beibei reluctantly agreed to meet Shi Yaoguang alone.

Shi Yaoguang meeting Beibei privately worried not only Princess Xiangfei.

Quan Jinbei was also alarmed.

Seeing his anxious expression, Princess Xiangfei couldn’t help but taunt, "You’re odd."

Quan Jinbei ignored her.

She continued, "You’re so ugly, aren’t you afraid she’ll ditch you?"

"If it were a handsome man, there’d still be hope even if beauty fades. But you lack even the basic charm. She might value your novelty, but once it wears off..."
