Jiang Yunxi suddenly spread his hands upwards and put them together, "Where's the stuff?"

"What?" Zhao Changyu was suddenly startled by Jiang Yunxi's actions.

A small stone was suddenly thrown into the calm lake surface in my heart, causing ripples.

"My fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth birthday gifts? You didn't give me any." Jiang Yunxi thought it was natural, "I have to make up for them. I can't let you get away with it."

Zhao Changyu breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect Jiang Yunxi to mention this matter. He thought Jiang Yunxi was answering his question.

"No." He replied to her unhappily and turned away.

Jiang Yunxi was just thinking about how to ask Zhao Changyu for a favor. Thinking that he had not received his birthday gift yet, he wanted to use this as an excuse to make conditions to him, and he was even complacent about it.

Therefore, she did not hear Zhao Changyu's question, "Do you have someone you like?"

"Why are you angry again?" Jiang Yunxi cursed inwardly, "Why is Zhao Changyu so hard to appease?"

She caught up with him, holding up her skirt, "Uncle, you can't... oops."

Jiang Yunxi was busy chasing Zhao Changyu and didn't have time to look at her feet. Her feet slipped and she almost fell.

Zhao Changyu quickly supported her.

Seeing that Jiang Yunxi had stood firm, Zhao Changyu wanted to let go of his hand, but Jiang Yunxi held his hand tightly, "You can't deny it!"

Seeing Zhao Changyu's indifferent look, Jiang Yunxi pressed the issue further, "I won't let go unless you agree."

Zhao Changyu was pestered by her and had no choice but to explain, "I also sent a portion of the southern specialty to your palace."

"How can they be the same? Every palace has this, how can it be considered a birthday gift?"

Zhao Changyu thought: What was he thinking just now? How has this little girl changed? She is still the same as before, lawless and not afraid of him at all.

"Then what do you want?"

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Jiang Yunxi showed joy on his face and loosened his grip slightly, "Can you give me anything I want?"

Seeing her expression, Zhao Changyu knew that what she was talking about must not be a simple matter, so he frowned and said, "Forget it, I'll just choose for you."

He took the opportunity to break free from Jiang Yunxi's hands and ran away quickly.

It looked like there was a female ghost behind him, seeking revenge.

Feng Gou panted heavily and reminded Zhao Changyu at the right time, "My Lord, is the princess so scary? How come you run so fast?"

Zhao Changyu had walked a long way without realizing it. When he heard Feng Gou's words, he slowed down and reacted: Yes, why should I run?

Quietly in the side hall of the Cining Palace, Jiang Yunxi was flipping through the chess manual in his hands, studying the unsolved chess game of the previous dynasty.

The scent of tea wafted from her side.

The black and white pieces were placed in turn to lay out the chessboard.

"Princess, the second Miss Jiang sent letters many times, wanting to see you, but they were all rejected according to your instructions. She also sent a letter to see the Queen Mother, but was also rejected." Nan Nan reported the situation to Jiang Yunxi.

Jiang Yunxi pinched her fingers and counted the days, thinking that Jiang Wanwan should be anxious.

"What's the situation in the mansion?" Jiang Yunxi started planning after his rebirth and arranged spies in the Jiang Mansion early on.

"The news came out that Miss Jiang II was so angry that she smashed a lot of vases because she couldn't enter the palace."

Jiang Yunxi sneered. She knew Jiang Wanwan's character. Jiang Wanwan was spoiled by Madam Jiang. Whenever she was not satisfied, she would vent her anger and had no idea how to endure it.

In addition, Jiang Wanwan was the kind of person who was unwilling to be inferior to others, but she only had ambition but no strength. More importantly, Jiang Wanwan was not aware of her own lack of strength.

Jiang Wanwan only thinks that a woman can keep a man if she has a good-looking appearance and a good figure.

I have no idea that if I want to move up, my own strength and background are more important.

A woman who serves a man for her looks is a concubine, not a wife.

"Tell someone in the mansion to spread the news that Madam Jiang is planning to arrange a marriage for Jiang Wanwan after she reaches the age of 15. If Jiang Wanwan can marry one of the princes, she won't have to endure my anger anymore."

Nan Nan didn't understand why and didn't want Jiang Wanwan to gain power overnight. "Why did the princess send Miss Jiang Er to marry into a rich family? Isn't this giving her the opportunity to step on you?"

Jiang Yunxi was amused by Nan Nan's words, "Silly girl, how can a high branch be so easy to climb?"

Even if Jiang Wanwan felt that she was willing to sacrifice her face to get close to them, those princes might not necessarily look down on her.

The Jiang family began to decline after Jiang An's death.

Jiang Wanwan's father, Jiang Rang, was merely an heir to Jiang An's honorary title and nominally inherited the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but in reality he had no job and no connections in the capital. He just had the title of "Duke of Zhenguo" but could not influence the court.

Madam Jiang was the woman Jiang Rang married before he inherited the title of Duke of Zhenguo, so she was not from a prominent family. The path of relying on marriage was already blocked.

In addition, the treasures left to Jiang Yunxi by Jiang Yunxi's parents had long been saved by Jiang Xue, and Jiang Rang could not touch a single cent of it.

In addition to Jiang Rang's salary, the Jiang family's main source of wealth came from the income from the women's shops.

The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion is no longer as glorious as it was when Jiang An was here.

For a daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo who has no money and no power, it would be appropriate for her to marry a newly-appointed Jinshi. If she stays with this son-in-law and endures it slowly, perhaps she will have a chance to succeed.

But it would be very difficult for Jiang Wanwan to move up a level and become a princess.

After all, the princes are not fools and would not want to waste the title of queen on Jiang Wanwan.

Jiang Wanwan didn't understand this truth.

"Okay, I'll go down and tell them." Nan Nan suddenly remembered the recent post, "The second young lady is about to come of age, and Madam Jiang wants to invite you back home."

"Let's talk about it later. I have to ask the Queen Mother first."

Jiang Yunxi quickly ran to the Cining Palace again and saw Jiang Xueyi sorting out some materials for the spring.

"My grandma and I are thinking the same thing again." Jiang Yunxi smiled and showed Jiang Xueyi the clothes she had just embroidered.

"These are for Grandmother. These are for the Princess to add to her makeup."

Jiang Xueyi touched the material of the clothes and squinted her eyes to look at the pattern carefully. "I'm afraid it took a lot of time. You should take good care of yourself and not worry so much."

Jiang Yunxi curled her lips and said, "This is what I should do. I especially like to do these things for my family. Since I came back from studying medicine, my health has improved tremendously. Even if I have to do more, I'm willing to do it."

"By the way, I also made a few pieces for Wanwan. In a few days, it will be Wanwan's coming-of-age ceremony, and it's the perfect gift for her." Jiang Yunxi deliberately acted as if he cared a lot about Jiang Wanwan.

Jiang Xueyi was naturally very satisfied with the Jiang family girls who loved each other and were reunited as a family.
