The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

The next day, Master Jiao came with Jiaosong and prepared gifts to apologize. When Lu Yun heard Liuzi's report, she thought she had misheard. After asking about what happened in the Pear Garden yesterday, she got up and went to the front hall.

"Your humble servant greets the princess." The people in the hall bowed and saluted.

Lu Yun nodded to indicate that there was no need to be polite, and the maids came to serve tea.

Just as Lu Yun was about to speak, Zhou Boli walked in from outside.

The Jiao family member who had just sat down stood up and saluted again. "Greetings, His Royal Highness."

Zhou Boli looked calm and naturally sat down beside Lu Yun. He took the teapot, poured a cup of tea and placed it beside her. After doing all this, he said calmly, "Master Jiao, please sit down."

Lu Yun picked up the teacup and saw that Master Jiao looked more respectful than before. She immediately understood Zhou Boli's intention.

"Your Highness, it was my son who was disrespectful yesterday. I have brought him here today to apologize to the princess." Master Jiao's face was very serious. "I hope the princess will forgive my fault. I will teach him a lesson when I return."

As they were talking, a person who looked like a maid came in from outside the hall.

Yao Chun bowed respectfully, "My Lady, the Princess said this year's tribute satin is good, so she asked me to bring you some. And don't worry, we have embroiderers in the mansion who are experts in making clothes from the Central Plains."

Lu Yun thanked him with a smile and ordered Caihe to personally escort Yaochun out of the yard.

Master Jiao was already sweating profusely. He finally waited until the unfilial son had apologized and was able to leave. On the way, he met Liao, the steward beside the prince, and went forward to pay his respects.

Manager Liao was very polite. "Master Jiao, what is this?"

Master Jiao spoke frankly, his voice weak, "The princess is magnanimous, but I will definitely discipline my son strictly when I return."

Manager Liao smiled and said, "A few days ago, the prince said that the prince had many faults, but the only good thing was that he had found a good daughter-in-law. Master Jiao, don't worry. The princess will never take such a small matter to heart. Take care."

After leaving the palace, the father and son got into the carriage without saying a word.

As soon as Jiaosong's butt, like a quail, touched the mat, he was slapped hard on the back by his old father.

"Rebel!"

When he returned home, the first thing Mr. Jiao did was to send his rebellious son to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Master Jiao immediately told his father everything he had seen and heard that day.

After hearing this, Old Man Jiao's face darkened, and the room fell into a long silence. Thinking back to their previous plans at the Gong family, Old Man Jiao felt uneasy. Whether the sea voyage was true or not, it seemed that even if they joined forces, they might not be able to defeat this little girl.

After Jiao Ying learned that her brother was punished to kneel again, she came to the ancestral hall with the thought that her brother had caused trouble outside again today. She saw her brother kneeling on the mat with a stubborn look on his face.

Jiao Ying sat cross-legged on the futon at the side and said, "Tell me, how did you make father angry today?"

Seeing his elder sister, Jiao Song was confused and frustrated. "It's still because of what happened yesterday. I apologized, but when my father came out, he got even angrier."

Jiao Ying frowned. "Tell me about what happened in the palace. I want to see what happened."

Kadomatsu recounted what happened today while recalling the past. "Sister, what do you think?"

The more Jiao Ying listened, the more frustrated she became. "Brother, it seems we should be more respectful to the princess from now on."

"Why?" Jiao Song was still unconvinced. "How can she compare to Sister Jin Jin? Sister Jin Jin is beautiful, gentle and kind. Only she deserves my respect."

Jiao Ying held up her chin and tried to explain to her brother, "The princess is already of noble status. From what you said, I can tell that the prince, the princess, and the prince are all very fond of the princess. Mother always said that we should not consider the monk's face but the Buddha's. We can't afford to offend the prince's palace."

Speaking of his deceased mother, Jiao Song was in a low mood. "I still think Sister Jin Jin is the best."

Jiao Ying tapped her brother's head with her finger and said, "It's not a question of who is good or bad. Just remember this."

After coming out of the ancestral hall, Jiao Ying got on the carriage heading to Zhang's house. She had read the note in her hand over and over again, but as she got closer to Zhang's house, Jiao Ying became more nervous and a little bit expectant.

We entered the Zhang family residence without any obstruction.

Jiao Ying smiled and explained her purpose to the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper knew the eldest daughter of the Jiao family who often came to ask the young master questions. "Miss, you came at the right time. The second master happened to be away from home today."

Jiao Ying smiled even more brightly when she heard that, and Caidie stuffed a small purse into the child's hand.

Following the child through a moon-shaped doorway, they entered an elegant side hall, where they waited anxiously and expectantly for a moment. Upon hearing familiar footsteps, Jiao Yingqing involuntarily stood up straight, her gaze fixed on the cyan figure in the courtyard.

The man was wearing a sky-blue round-necked robe, with a thin and straight back. On his thin and distinct face, there were a pair of extremely clear and stern eyes, and two thin and shiny lips that were naturally raised, warm and gentle.

Jiao Ying knelt down and greeted, "Yingying greets Uncle Zhang." Within her sight was a pair of spotless black official boots.

Zhang Yun smiled and said, "Miss, there's no need to be so polite, but have you encountered another problem?"

Jiao Ying spoke out the remarks she had prepared in advance. After she finished, she couldn't help but smile. She was very satisfied that she didn't stutter when speaking today.

Zhang Yun looked at the little girl standing in front of him and said gently, "I've taken note of what you said, but I have other things to do right now, so I can't explain everything to you face to face. You go back first, and I'll write down the solutions one by one and send them to you later, okay?"

"Of course it's fine. Thank you, Uncle Zhang. Yingying won't bother you anymore." Jiaoying stood up and said goodbye, lowering her head to hide the disappointment in her heart.

The man stood up and said, "I'll take you there."

Jiao Ying was afraid of delaying his work, so she immediately shook her head and said seriously, "Second uncle, please go and do your work. Yingying will go back first. I will come to visit you another day when Second uncle is free."

Seeing that the black boots in her sight did not move, Jiao Ying knelt down and saluted, then followed the little boy out of the yard.

"Miss." Caidie looked at the girl worriedly. God knows how happy she was every time she came to see Master Zhang Er. "It will be the same if you come another day."

Jiaoying sat back in the car, feeling depressed, "Caidie, I'm fifteen years old now, and my grandfather will definitely find a husband for me." How many times can she come to the Zhang family? Probably one less time will pass.

Hearing the noise outside, Jiao Ying lifted the curtain and looked over. It was the carriage from the royal palace that everyone in Dali City knew.

After the carriage stopped, a handsome man with broad shoulders and narrow waist walked out. The man got off the carriage but did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he turned around with a gentle smile and stretched out his arms towards the opened curtain.

A hand rested on the Crown Prince's, and then the Princess, dressed in a vermilion-colored gown, stepped out. Lu Yun fiercely grasped his hand. Zhou Boli, feeling pained, restrained his expression, and finally looked more serious.

"Ah." Jiao Ying let out a light cry, then quickly covered her mouth and nose, her eyes full of envy. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Princess were a perfect match, and the Crown Prince seemed to like the Princess very much.

Thinking of her friend's plan, Jiao Ying decided to persuade Jin Jin to give up the idea after returning. There were many people in Dali City who liked Jin Jin.
