Since she could remember, Xiao Yunlan had never seen this kind of expression on anyone's face. It was not mixed with any self-interest, but was just pure and sincere appreciation. Such eyes and such expressions deeply shook her heart.

There was even a moment when Xiao Yunlan wondered how great it would be if this person was his own sister.

She walked out accompanied by Zhu Yue.

Because of Qin Bian's living signboard, the noble ladies came early, thinking that if they could really see Qin Bian, they could go up and talk to him. As for Xiao Yunlan, in their eyes, she was just an embroidered pillow that looked good but was useless. If she wasn't the emperor's sister, she wouldn't be worthy of standing with them.

When Xiao Yunlan left, these people just glanced at him indifferently.

But I never expected that I would see such a bright and beautiful woman just by taking a casual glance!

This... is this Xiao Yunlan?

Almost everyone looked at Xiao Yunlan in disbelief, as she looked refreshed. The way she dressed today was completely different from her usual attire.

Zhu Yue then discovered that among the noble ladies in the capital, Xiao Yunlan was so unappreciated!

Logically speaking, Xiao Yunlan is a legitimate princess, the emperor's biological sister, and Princess Xile, who was personally canonized by the emperor. She also has an independent princess palace and fiefdom. This status is not much worse than that of a prince!

However, when these people saw Xiao Yunlan, they didn't show any respect at all, and didn't even salute Xiao Yunlan.

"presumptuous!"

"Who made you so bold as to not even bow when you see Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Zhu Yue was furious and started blaming.

Although she has no name or status now, everyone in the capital knows that Xiao Jingzheng holds her in the palm of his hand, and even Su Xue is outshined by her!

They can look down on Xiao Yunlan, but they dare not look down on Xiao Jingzheng, let alone offend the person closest to Xiao Jingzheng. After all, Xiao Jingzheng is a well-known tyrant. If they are not careful, the whole family will have to go to the underworld to reunite!

"All people are born equal. How can there be any distinction between the upper and lower classes?"

"The princess is kind and naturally doesn't want us to be too polite. Besides, we usually get together and treat each other like sisters, and we are very harmonious. Why is it that Miss Yue makes it seem like we are to blame as soon as she opens her mouth?"

Su Xueyao finally found an opportunity. She could finally let out a sigh of relief in front of everyone!

But after hearing this, Zhu Yue just sneered.

"Miss Su, be careful with your words! Princess Xile is the legitimate daughter of the late emperor and the empress dowager. She is of noble status. What qualifications do you have to say that you are her sister?"

"Could it be that you think you are also the child of the late emperor and the empress dowager?"

"What's more, you are just a concubine of the Su family. Although those present here don't know the rules, they are all legitimate daughters of wealthy families. What qualifications do you have to come here and say that we are sisters?"

In the entire capital city, except for Su Xueyao who keeps saying that all men are created equal, all other people are native locals, and the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children is engraved in their bones!

Before this, Su Xueyao was indeed given some face for Xiao Jingzheng's sake, but now it is obvious that Su Xueyao is no longer taken seriously by the emperor. So what qualifications does such a concubine's daughter who is not presentable have to be on an equal footing with them?

"Miss Ayue, my words are true, Miss Su, you really should learn some etiquette!"

Xie Rong, the prime minister's daughter, who was in the lead, looked at Su Xueyao with disdain.

Zhu Yue had specially found out before that this lady was a supporter of Qin Bian. No matter who they were, as long as they had any relationship with Qin Bian, or were too close to her, they were all her enemies!

Su Xueyao is one of them!

Su Xueyao never expected that Zhu Yue could be so sharp-tongued. With just a few words, she made herself the target of public criticism.

She looked at Zhu Yue aggrievedly: "Miss Yue, do you hate me so much? Do you have to embarrass me in front of everyone?"

"Am I embarrassing you, or are you embarrassing the princess?"

"The princess is a noble lady, the most noble woman in the world. Who the hell are you? How dare you be on the same level as the princess?"

"I am standing here today and saying a few words to you, which is already a great honor for you. Otherwise, you will be caned thirty times in public!"

That’s right, if someone commits insubordination, he will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane. This is the law of the country!

These words were naturally referring to Su Xueyao, but they were also referring to other people.

The girls who grew up in the capital are all smart people. They could tell what was going on. They didn’t dare to be stubborn any more and knelt down to pay their respects properly.

"See Your Highness the Princess!"

Xiao Yunlan now looked at Zhu Yue with admiration on his face.

But Zhu Yue subconsciously grabbed her hand and looked at her with encouragement!

Xiao Yunlan was a little afraid of such a scene, but now she suddenly had the courage: "Everyone, get up, Miss Su is right, we are all of similar age and we usually play together, so there is no need to be so polite. Since everyone is here, let's have fun. Today, I have prepared a lot of activities. Whatever you want to play, we have everything!"

Everyone stood up and looked at Xiao Yunlan with a bit of disbelief in their eyes. After all, they all knew how Xiao Yunlan usually behaved in front of them. When had he ever been so majestic?

Seeing his sister like this, Xiao Huanyu felt relieved. After all, apart from him, he always felt that his sister was too cowardly and not like a princess. But he was a rough man who only knew how to fight, and he didn't know how to discipline his sister. Now looking at his sister like this, he just felt very proud!

In this case, he would certainly not lose face for his sister.

"Today's first place winner in pot-throwing will be rewarded with a piece of beautiful jade!"

As he spoke, Xiao Huanyu took off the beautiful jade from his waist and placed it in Xiao Yunlan's hand.

He smiled gently at Xiao Yunlan: "Princess, what do you say?"

"What Second Brother said is naturally good, so it's settled then!"

"No matter what the project is, as long as there is a winner, I will reward you generously!"

Xiao Yunlan tightly grasped the beautiful jade, feeling an unprecedented sense of accomplishment in his heart.

She almost subconsciously turned around to look for Zhu Yue, but Zhu Yue stepped back the moment Xiao Huanyu approached, leaving space for the two of them. She found a quiet place to eat something delicious and get some peace and quiet.

At this time, several carriages arrived outside the door, all with the White Horse Temple logo. The ladies who had just calmed down suddenly became excited: "It's Master Qin, Master Qin is really here!"
