The daughter of the mansion is slapped in the face every day

Suddenly, a little maidservant Xiaodie, who was unfamiliar to her, walked up to Jiang Yunxi and simply bowed to her, "Princess, Madam invites you to come over."

Looking at this impolite little maid, Princess Zhao Ya's maid and Jiang Yunxi's maid Zhen Zhen frowned at the same time.

They thought, "Where did this little bitch come from? How could she ignore the princess? She didn't even bow to Master Mu. The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo really taught her servants well!"

"Aunt?" Jiang Yunxi's tone was a little hesitant. She couldn't imagine why Bai Shifu would come to her for help now.

It can't be that there is a shortage of manpower, so why ask her relative to help?

"Yes." Xiaodie said concisely.

"The banquet is about to start. I'll go over later." Jiang Yunxi refused calmly.

But Xiaodie didn't plan to leave. Instead, she urged Jiang Yunxi, "Madam has something urgent to discuss with the princess. Please come over."

There was a hint of threat in her tone, as if she would not leave unless Jiang Yunxi did.

Seeing this, Zhen Zhen frowned even more tightly.

Jiang Yunxi didn't even give face to Lady Bai Shifu, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, so how could he be threatened by a little maid?

She waved her hands casually.

When Zhen Zhen saw this, she understood what Jiang Yunxi meant.

She pulled Xiaodie aside for Jiang Yunxi and secretly scolded her, "The princess is still here, how can you not salute? Do you know what kind of crime it is to disrespect the princess?"

Zhen Zhen deliberately spoke loudly so that Zhao Ya could hear her and not let her think that Jiang Yunxi condoned others to ignore her.

Xiaodie was just a girl from the backyard who had never seen the world. When she heard Zhenzhen's tone as if she was going to punish her, she immediately became timid and scared.

"Now, you are asking the princess to leave the princess behind. You are so bold. Are you going to trample on the face of the royal family? How many heads do you have to chop off?"

Zhenzhen is a person who is used to making things look serious.

Xiaodie had no idea that the situation was so serious. She was a little anxious, and her tone trembled a little, "But...but..."

Seeing this, Zhen Zhen picked it up high and put it down gently, forgiving Xiao Die as if giving alms.

He turned around and comforted Xiaodie, "Go tell the lady that the princess will be there soon."

Xiaodie felt as if she had been pardoned.

Zhen Zhen also knew that the maidservant in front of her belonged to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and the Duke of Zhenguo's wife had the final say on how to deal with her. If she kept nitpicking at the little mistake of the maidservant, the Duke of Zhenguo's wife would definitely punish her. Jiang Yunxi would be known as a person who mistreats servants.

So what Zhen Zhen did just now was just to scare her.

Zhen Zhen thought, fortunately it was a young maid who had not seen the world and asked Jiang Yunxi to come, so she could still deal with her easily. If those old and experienced maids had come, it would have been more troublesome.

Seeing Xiaodie leave, Jiang Yunxi felt better.

Jiang Yunxi sniffed the tea in her hand carefully, took another sip, and her face was full of satisfaction. "It's really only you who can do such a leisurely and enjoyable thing as brewing tea around the stove."

Seeing that Jiang Yunxi had finished her tea, Mu Kang scooped another spoonful for her.

Jiang Yunxi stretched out his arm and took it.

Seeing Jiang Yunxi's curved eyebrows, Mu Kang's tone became gentler, "It's a pity that it's not snowing today. It would be more interesting to drink tea while enjoying the snow."

"Are you going to play the Flying Flower Order again?" Jiang Yunxi asked him with a smile.

When Zhao Ya heard that she was asked to write a poem, she quickly waved her hand and decisively refused, "No, I don't want to write a poem."

Zhao Ya grew up in the palace and could not stand the hardship of studying, so she only had a superficial understanding of the principles.

The emperor and the empress also felt that Zhao Ya was a princess and did not need to study to become an official. In the future, there would be eunuchs in the palace to take care of the household chores in the princess's mansion, so they would not be needed. Therefore, they did not force her to study.

Therefore, whenever Zhao Yaruo was going out to attend poetry tea parties or other occasions where she needed to write or recite poetry, she would usually bring Jiang Yunxi along and ask Jiang Yunxi to help her deal with these difficulties.

Thanks to Jiang Yunxi's good protection for her, the noble men and ladies in the capital did not realize that Zhao Ya was an illiterate person.

"Don't worry, Princess. I won't write poetry today." Mu Kang comforted her.

Zhao Ya nodded with satisfaction.

By the water pavilion in the backyard, Jiang Wanwan was glaring at Xiaodie.

"She's not coming?" Jiang Wanwan's tone was filled with anger. She blamed Xiaodie for not doing her job well. "What did you tell her?"

Xiaodie, the maid who had just gone to invite Jiang Yunxi, knelt on the ground, huddled up, trembling, and looked very frightened. "I said, Madam asked her to come over. The princess didn't ask anything, but said that the feast was about to start, and she had to accompany the princess and come over later."

Jiang Wanwan looked angry, "Jiang Yunxi is so arrogant! Not only did she stop me from entering the palace, she even rejected my mother's face! She is so despicable!"

She was secretly upset that her plan was going to fail.

"Wait until the banquet is over before you go and invite her over. Do you hear me?"

Jiang Wanwan still refused to give up, and lowered her head and roared at Xiaodie fiercely.

Xiaodie nodded hurriedly.

After Xiaodie left, Jiang Wanwan pouted, feeling very unhappy, and fed the fish food into the pond with an expressionless face.

But at this season, the fish have already hibernated, and no fish are swimming towards her.

"Miss Jiang." Zhao Zheyong, wearing a navy blue brocade outer gown, walked over with a smile on his face.

His every move and gesture reveals his elegance.

Zhao Zheyong wanted to leave a good impression on Jiang Wanwan.

Jiang Wanwan immediately recognized that this was Zhao Zheyong who had just peeked at her, but she still kept her composure, tilted her head, and pretended to ask her maid Lan'er, "Lan'er, who is this?"

"Miss, this is the third prince." Lan'er answered respectfully.

Zhao Zheyong was not yet an adult and was still living in the Western Six Palaces in the palace. He had not yet been crowned king.

So Lan'er only called him "the Third Prince".

Jiang Wanwan then pretended to be enlightened and bowed to Zhao Zheyong, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

She showed off her beautiful figure appropriately.

Zhao Zheyong hurriedly held Jiang Wanwan's wrist and politely pulled her up.

He just felt his fingertips were delicate and silky, and didn't want to let go, but he was worried that Jiang Wanwan would feel abrupt, so he let go.

Jiang Wanwan seldom interacted with men. Now, when Zhao Zheyong simply helped her up, her face flushed slightly.

Zhao Zheyong handed her a box.

Jiang Wanwan pretended to be aloof and declined, "According to etiquette, you and I shouldn't give it to each other privately."

"I have already sent the coming-of-age gift to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but when I saw this hairpin, I immediately thought of the girl, so I bought it. I hope the girl will accept my little gift." Zhao Zheyong opened the box, and inside the box lay a gold filigree phoenix hairpin with a pearl, sparkling in the sunlight.
