"Manager Xu, ..."

"Well, Fifth Sister, why are you here?"

Although the Fifth Princess was unhappy with the Fourth Princess, she still did a good job of saving her face. She first bowed to the Fourth Princess, then stood up and spoke.

"My mother asked Sister Amber to bring me to the imperial kitchen to get lunch, but the imperial kitchen not only failed to prepare lunch for my mother, but also tried to make excuses. So I gave Manager Xu a lesson."

“This shouldn’t be wrong, right?”

"Of course not."

The fourth princess shook her head and chuckled.

"Although we are young, we are princesses and masters. It is only natural for the masters to teach the slaves a lesson."

"However, I still have something for Manager Xu to do. I wonder if Fifth Sister has finished her lesson?"

"The lesson is over, please do as you please, Fourth Sister."

The Fourth Princess was very satisfied with the Fifth Princess's understanding. She nodded and looked at Manager Xu.

"Manager Xu, are the ginseng chicken soup and squirrel fish that my mother ordered ready?"

"To be honest, the squirrel mandarin fish you requested is already prepared and is being sent to you. However, the ginseng chicken soup that Concubine An requested is not yet ready. Please forgive me, Fourth Princess."

Instead of forgiving her, the Fourth Princess got very angry.

"Didn't the maids from Changyuan Palace come over to ask you to prepare? It's been several hours, why haven't you finished yet?"

"Do you look down on my mother and deliberately neglect her?"

"I am wronged!"

Manager Xu knelt on the ground with a bang and kowtowed three times, until his head was broken.

"I am just a small steward in the imperial kitchen. How dare I look down on Madam Anfei?"

"To be honest with you, the ginseng chicken soup that Concubine An ordered has already been prepared, but it was accidentally broken. Therefore, it cannot be delivered to Changyuan Palace for Concubine An to taste in a short period of time. I hope that you will be magnanimous and say something nice to Concubine An when you go back, and forgive me this time."

"I will be more careful in the future and will never make such a mistake again."

The fourth princess stamped her feet and said angrily.

"Who broke my mother's ginseng chicken soup?"

"yes,……"

Manager Xu did not say anything. He just glanced cautiously at the Fifth Princess opposite him, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

The fourth princess immediately understood what he meant.

"Fifth sister, did you break the ginseng chicken soup that Mother made?"

Seeing the Fourth Princess pointing her sword at the Fifth Princess, Amber quickly hid her behind her and explained while shaking her head.

"The Fifth Princess misunderstood. After the ginseng chicken soup was cooked, the maid was about to put it into the food box and send it to Changyuan Palace when she was knocked down by Steward Xu. The bowl fell to the ground and the chicken soup spilled all over the floor."

"Manager Xu, is what Amber said true?"

"In reply to the Fourth Princess, the chicken soup was indeed spilled because I accidentally bumped into that maid, but the reason I bumped into that maid was because Miss Amber grabbed me."

"If that hadn't happened, I wouldn't have bumped into anyone, and Madam An's ginseng chicken soup wouldn't have been spilled."

"So if the Fourth Princess really wants to blame someone, just blame Miss Amber. I am really, really wronged!"

If it was someone from Qingning Palace, even if it was a palace maid who was cleaning the house, Manager Xu would not dare to accuse her wrongly.

However, the Fourth Princess and the Fifth Princess had been at loggerheads ever since they learned to speak, so that the relationship between Concubine An and Concubine Feng became increasingly distant.

Now Concubine An is in charge of the power in the harem, and Concubine Feng is just assisting her from the side. Moreover, Concubine An is about to become the queen. Anyone with a little bit of common sense knows who to support and who not to support.

The Fourth Princess had a bad temper and dared to speak ill of the Fifth Princess, let alone a little palace maid.

"How dare you, Amber, deliberately knock over my mother's ginseng chicken soup. Someone, drag her out and give her thirty spankings."

"Get out of here! Whoever dares to touch Sister Amber will have to step over me!"

Seeing that the Fourth Princess was going to order Amber to be dragged away and severely punished, the Fifth Princess immediately rushed forward to protect Amber like a mad little tiger. Even though the Fourth Princess was knowledgeable and experienced, she was still frightened by her appearance.

"Fifth sister, I just want to punish the maid who made a mistake. Is it necessary for you to do this?"

"Let go quickly. If I hurt you, don't blame me for not caring about our sisterly love!"

"I bother!"

The fifth princess couldn't help but spit at her.

"Qi Yechen, you are too hypocritical!"

"Thirty strokes of the cane may not kill someone, but if Sister Amber really gets hit, she will be paralyzed and will have to lie in bed for the rest of her life, unable to take care of herself."

"Instead of doing this, you might as well just order her to be beaten to death, so that she won't have to suffer for the rest of her life."

Seeing that the Fifth Princess had exposed her true identity, the Fourth Princess's eyes became fierce.

"Fifth sister, I'm going to ask you one last time, will you move aside?"

"No, no, no."

"If you want to kill Sister Amber, then kill me first!"

"Okay, since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being rude to you."

"Come on, hit me!"
