VYING YOUR POSITION?

"You can let go of my hand now." Qianru said coldly when they were out of other people sight.

The sweet smile that plastered on Zhao Tianqi's lips was abruptly gone, she dropped her hand and pushed Qianru away from her.

Fortunately, Jinse was there to catch her body or else she would fall to the ground in front of the five guards who Qianru's had brought with her when they entered the palace.

"I want you to know that you don't belong here, your visit in my Kingdom is unwelcome." Zhao Tianqi couldn't hold her temper any longer.

It was well known that every country had their own distinguish characteristic and the Kingdom of Rockstone's people mostly had a bad temper and spoke bluntly without reserve.

It wasn't a surprise for Qianru when Mo Qin Yi was daring enough to confess his feeling toward her or how Zhao Tianqi showed her displeased right now.

Qianru dusted her dressed deliberately, especially the place where Zhao Tianqi had held her before and this earned a menacing glared from the Crown Princess of the Kingdom of Rockstone.

"Last time I checked, the Emperor of the Rockstone Kingdom is still Mo Qian Yuan, thus it is not up to you to decide, whether my presence here and my husband are welcome or not. Please act accordingly with your status." Qianru snapped at her. She looked at her straight in the eyes unwaveringly.

Jinse, the young maid servant, was stunned with Qianru boldness. Since they entered the palace, her Mistress seemed to have turned into someone else.

The mild temper Qianru was no longer there, but it was a good sign, as they needed to stand up for their dignity and not let anyone to step on their head.

As a delegation, their action and behavior was a reflection of their Country.

If Qianru let Zhao Tianqi treated her disrespectful like the way she had treated her since she stepped into the palace, then no one would treat Azura with respect in the future.

"You should say that word to yourself." Zhao Tianqi narrowed her eyes at her. "I could see the way my husband was looking at you. Princess Xiao must remember that you have married, even though you are not the Crown Princess, it is not proper to vying my status."

Upon hearing that, the five guards who were standing behind them gritted their teeth in hatred. This woman was an evil, how she could say something so indecent like that?

The wind blew from the north, brushing Qianru's long black hair softly as her expression remained unchanged when she looked at Zhao Tianqi's hatred eyes.

"Like what you said, it was Prince Mo Qin Yi who was looking at me not the other way around." Qianru deliberately mentioned Mo Qin Yi's title to give an impression that there was a clear distance between them.

"Who knew what you have done until he can't take his eyes from you." Zhao Tianqi sneered.

"I am flattered." Qianru chuckled. "If that's what you think, then there is only one answer for that."

However, Qianru didn't elaborate further and let Zhao Tianqi's curiosity ate her pride until she couldn't hold it any longer.

"What is that?" She tried to make her voice as aloof as possible, but failed terribly.

"You as his wife…" Qianru pointed Zhao Tianqi with her chin. "… is not attractive enough in his eyes now and instead of warn me, why don't you find something else that could keep his eyes on you?"

The five guards and Jinse were trying hard to keep their laugh at bay it was ridiculous to know the future Empress had lost her husband favor even before she was in the throne.

Even though Prince Xiao Jun had not showed his affection toward Qianru, but he had never flirted with any other women.

"You!!!" Zhao Tianqi, pointed her finger at Qianru angrily, but she couldn't find any other words to rebuke her.

"Lastly, you can rest assure and keep this word for you to remember. I would rather be a Princess Xiao than be an Empress with him as my King." With that being said, Qianru walked away with her chin held high in front of Zhao Tianqi.

She delivered her words in such a manner until one could interpret that as; Qianru would choose to die rather than be with Mo Qin Yi.

And this was an insult for Zhao Tianqi, but she could do nothing. At least not this time…

"Qianru…" She said her name with venom on the tip of her tongue.
