To Zha Muxi's surprise, the Ninth Princess and Shangguan Yue actually spoke up for her.
The Ninth Princess said, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is a thousand-year-old riddle. How can you expect her to solve it just like that? Could it be that you are holding a grudge because of what happened earlier?" The atmosphere grew somewhat subtle.
Shangguan Yue followed up, "Her Royal Highness the Princess is always straightforward, and I hope Your Highness will forgive her! This humble maiden has long heard that Your Highness the Crown Prince is gentle, refined, and courteous to others. Surely you wouldn't bicker with us weak women."
