Quick Wear: The Bad Girl is Reborn and No Longer Confused

Chapter 231 No Longer Helping in the Fight for the 5th Princess 7

"I want to be by Fourth Sister's side. I have many ideas for the mansion, and Father must have the workers build it. The Qiqiao Festival is in two days, and I want to go out with Fourth Sister to take a look."

Emperor Xuan Jin naturally agreed and even gave him a house in the capital as a place to rest.

The fourth princess looked at her younger sister with eyes that were almost tearing. She was indeed her good sister and she always cared about her.

The Qiqiao Festival soon arrived. The two sisters got up early, had breakfast and set off. They went their separate ways outside the palace and met at Tianxiang Pavilion at noon.

Xu Tao arrived at her maternal grandfather's house according to her mother's instructions. She waited in the sedan chair while Yingchun went to notify the doorman.

Upon receiving the news, the woman from the Wen family quickly dressed and went out to greet her. "Greetings, Princess An Ning."

"Grandma, please stand up quickly, aunts. I am your granddaughter today." Xu Taofu bowed as a junior and held her grandmother's hand as they entered the inner courtyard. When they arrived, she asked the palace maids to take out the things her mother had prepared.

"Is the princess doing well these days?"

Yin had two sons and two daughters. The one she was most worried about was her eldest daughter who entered the palace to become a concubine. To outsiders, she seemed extremely noble, but who knew the hardships involved?

She would rather her eldest daughter marry a third-rank official like her youngest daughter. With the old man's support, they would have to be respectful to their daughter and they could see each other often during the New Year and other festivals.

"Don't worry, grandma. Mother is fine and I'm fine too. I'm just worried about home. Please take good care of yourself, grandma."

"I saved it."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Xu Tao followed her cousin to her boudoir.

"Sister Shu, it's almost time for you to get married. Has your aunt settled down? Do you have someone you like?"

Wen Shu blushed and gave her cousin a coquettish look. She was the princess's study partner, so their relationship was naturally closer than that of ordinary sisters, and they spoke more freely.

"Sister Shu, we haven't seen each other for a while, just tell me."

Wen Shu was getting older and older. Xu Tao was afraid that she would be killed by the third prince like in her previous life, so she asked her mother to let her go home. It happened that her cousin was also old enough to get married.

"Mother mentioned Meng Ziyan, the grandson of the Minister of Revenue, two days ago."

After saying that, Wen Shu's face turned red, even her ears were red, showing her little girl's shyness to the fullest.

Seeing her cousin's expression, Xu Tao knew that she was also satisfied. Thinking back to her previous life, Meng Ziyan seemed to be doing well. She had the impression that he did not choose to become an official in the court, but seemed to have gone to the academy to become a teacher.

At that time, many people felt sorry for his talent. If he had taken part in the imperial examination, he would definitely have been among the top three, but he was not interested in that.

"Sister Shu, do you know that he doesn't want to serve as an official in the court?"

"I know. My grandfather told me."

My grandfather knew about it, and it seemed that the marriage would be successful. The next step was to prevent Xu Ze from doing anything bad.

After saying goodbye to her grandmother and the others, there was still an hour before the agreed time. Xu Tao let herself go, looking around and finding everything new.

She saw a treasure house and walked in. Although the things inside were not as exquisite and unique as those in the palace, they had a different feeling. Suddenly, a jade hairpin caught her attention.

"Hello, miss, are you satisfied?"

Xu Tao pointed to a jade hairpin adorned with a pearl, which was vividly carved with peonies. It was a rare treasure and also a style that Concubine Xie's mother liked. She asked someone to buy it without asking the price.

"Wait, I want that hairpin."

Xu Tao raised her eyes, wanting to see who was so shameless. When she saw her face clearly, she immediately understood. It was not surprising that it was her.

"Excuse me, miss. This lady wanted it first."

"Has she paid? If she hasn't, why can't she give it to me? I'm going to buy it today. Do you know who I am?"

The waiter was a little embarrassed and turned to find the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper came forward enthusiastically when he saw the two of them. "Two girls, we still have a lot of exquisite jewelry. You two..."

Yuan Ruoxue's face flashed with irritation, and she interrupted directly: "I don't care about anything else, I want this one, so hurry up and pack it for me."

"Miss, it was Miss Ziyi who asked for the hairpin first. We can only give it to you if she doesn't want it."

Yuan Ruoxue frowned, and waved the handkerchief in her hand more frequently, signaling to the maid beside her.

The maid stood up after receiving the master's order, snorted coldly, and looked very arrogant. "Do you know who our young lady is? Hurry up and take care of our young lady, otherwise your Treasure Pavilion will not be able to operate in the capital."

The shopkeeper's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this. He continued calmly, "Although our shop has only been open for less than a month, we adhere to the principle of first come, first served. Miss, could you please help me pack your things?"

"Wrap it up."

Xu Tao was very impressed with the Treasure Pavilion and decided to spend more money, so she continued shopping. "Yingchun, go tell Fourth Sister that I might be there later."

"Yes, Miss."

The master and servant, completely ignored, were furious and yelled like crazy women, "How dare you ignore our young lady? Do you know who our young lady is?"

However, no one responded to them, and both of them were almost hurt.

"Okay, you guys are fine."

"Hey~ What made Third Sister so angry?"

Yuan Ruoxue originally wanted to leave, but when she saw her mortal enemy coming down from the second floor, she stopped and her face turned red and white. She absolutely could not let this bitch make a fool of herself.

"Why are you here, Second Sister? Didn't Grandmother ask you to reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors for a while? I've been a bit outspoken, so please don't mind, Sister."

Yuan Ruoxia had a fake smile on her face. If it weren't for that bitch snitching, she wouldn't have been punished by her grandmother. "Sister, you should be careful too. After all, everyone makes mistakes."

"Then I won't let you worry about me, Lvliu, let's go."

While no one was leaving, Yuan Ruoxia turned to Xu Tao and said, "Miss, could you please give me the hairpin you just used?"

Xu Tao looked at the woman in front of her and felt equally unhappy. She was the eldest daughter of the Yuan family, and Yuan Ruoxue was the third daughter. The two families had always been teased like black eyes.

The first wife was full of confidence, relying on the fact that she was the eldest son and her eldest son had passed the imperial examination. Although the third wife was born out of wedlock, her elder sister had worked hard to become the emperor's concubine, gave birth to a prince and princess, and raised them to adulthood, so she naturally held her head high.

There have been many fights between the two families for resources, especially since Yuan Jia Silang has shown a talent for studying and will be taking the imperial examination in three years.

Xu Tao's eyes darkened. In his previous life, the other party seemed to have passed the exam at the last place, and that was also the time when their plan was implemented. With her help, Yuan Lingbai successfully stayed in the capital.
