"Princess, there's already a big commotion outside. Should we do something?"

As soon as Qiao Xi came out of Su Heting's study, Butler Yi rushed forward anxiously.

The secret guard also informed him about Qiao Xi entering Su Heting's study, but the prince handed over the entire palace to the princess, so he naturally had no right to stop the princess.

But despite the commotion outside, the princess actually stayed in the prince's study for more than an hour, and her eyes looked red. He was really worried.

Qiao Xi had already adjusted her mood before leaving the study, "Where's Ji Yao?"

"I went to the front door and looked around. I heard everyone scolding you, and then I went back to my own yard very happily."

Butler Yi couldn't understand why the princess indulged that woman.

Then Qiao Xi continued, "Give her some banknotes and tell her that the money was from the prince's instructions a few days ago, asking her to buy herself some new clothes. The prince likes to see her dressed beautifully."

This?

Being tricked by Ji Yao, instead of dealing with her, he gave her money to coax her?

Is the princess too fuzzy?

Could it be that he had no way to deal with Ji Yao just now, so he could only hide in the prince's study and cry, and then choose to give in after crying?

Seeing Qiao Xi looking at him, Butler Yi didn't dare to ask any more questions and had to do as he was told, hoping that the prince would come back soon.

It seems that the princess is not handling things well.

Although those rumors were directed at the princess, if they got out of hand, they would also have an impact on the palace.

Butler Yi sighed and handed the banknote to Ji Yao.

Ji Yao withdrew one thousand taels from the Yao family shop yesterday and had no shortage of money on hand, but when she heard that this was given to her by Su Heting, she instantly imagined a lot of things.

He ordered the maid, "Let's go to the Jinyi Pavilion."

No wonder the prince didn't take her out a few days ago, nor did he let her go out. It turned out that there was no money in the account. Now that there was money in the account, he immediately sent it to her.

Or maybe the prince wanted to form an alliance with her father, but that didn't matter. What mattered was that the prince was willing to coax her.

The maid glanced at the sky and said hesitantly, "Miss, it's already afternoon. Besides, you already visited the Jinyi Pavilion yesterday. I'm afraid there won't be any new materials today."

Ji Yao glanced at her and said, "What do you know? I went out to buy clothes as the prince asked after I got the money. I wanted to let the prince know that I was very happy.

Besides, who said I have to buy it for myself when I go to Jinyi Pavilion? I will buy it for the prince."

My mother once said that no matter whether a man gives you money or gifts, you must show your happiness. Only then will he feel a sense of accomplishment and be willing to spend time on you next time.

Since I am the only one favored by my father throughout my life, my mother’s words must be correct.

She will go back and learn more from her mother. With her mother's guidance, she will surely win the prince's heart.

Unlike that poor guy Qiao Xi, who had a short-lived mother and grew up in the palace without anyone to teach him, he was destined to be no match for her.

Thinking of Qiao Xi, she lazily asked, "What's going on outside the door?"

"More and more people gathered, and the news spread quickly on the streets."

The maid rolled her eyes and flattered, "Young lady, this is a good idea. The people in northern Xinjiang had to make a living at the hands of the barbarians a few years ago. They finally lived in peace, but now they are hit by a drought. The drought has just eased, and Qiao Xi wants to defeat them again. How can they not be afraid?

This fear has all become a help to you, young lady. I am afraid that there will be even more people coming to cause trouble tomorrow."

Ji Yao was proud. "It's a threat to their own interests, so naturally they're afraid. Father has long said that the untouchables are the most brainless and can be fooled easily."

The slave maid's face froze for a moment, but she quickly smiled and said, "Miss, do you want someone to do something tonight?"

She didn't want to be a pariah, she wanted to be a concubine in the palace, so she had to find a way to climb up.

"What do you mean?" Ji Yao asked.

The maid said, "For example, if someone's cow dies, a thief is stolen, or someone dies, isn't that all Qiao Xike's fault?"

If this happens, there will definitely be more troublemakers tomorrow.

Ji Yao thought about it and felt it was a good idea, "Then let's go to the Yao's shop first and tell them.

My father once said that those in power should care most about public support, and Brother Su is no exception.

If things get a little more serious tomorrow, even if he still has some attachment to Qiao Xi, he will send her out of the palace to appease the people."

The maidservants responded with a smile, as if it was a foregone conclusion that they would become Su Heting's women.

As soon as the two of them left the palace, Qiao Xi got the news. She said to Lu Jiang, "Let's leave too."

Changsheng wanted to follow, but Qiao Xi said, "I promised Red Fox that I would braid its hair. You stay and help Xiaoman. I'll be back soon."

"There are bad guys out there."

Changsheng didn't want Qiao Xi to go out and listen to those rumors.

But if Qiao Xi insisted on going out, he would go with her. He would cut off the tongue of anyone who dared to gossip about her.

Qiao Xi's face darkened. "Be obedient and don't follow me."

Changsheng saw that Qiao Xi was angry, so he pursed his lips, lowered his head and said nothing.

Qiao Xi knew that Changsheng cared about her, but it was because Changsheng protected her too much that her plans were easily disrupted.

Patting his shoulder, she said, "When you come back, I'll bring you some candied haws."

In the streets next to the palace.

Several guards from the Jiangbei Palace escorted Ji Yao's carriage forward slowly. Suddenly, another carriage caught up and squeezed into the alley side by side with Ji Yao's carriage.

This alley is not very wide, and people from the palace rarely use this road on ordinary days. But today, because the people went to the palace to make trouble, several roads were blocked, so the coachman chose this alley.

Right now, we are stuck by another carriage and can’t retreat or get out.

"What's going on? Who dares to block my young lady's way?"

The maid lifted the curtain and asked the accompanying guard.

The King of Jiangbei cared about his young lady. When he learned that his young lady was going out, Butler Yi specially sent several guards to follow her.

The maidservant was proud of it and spoke in a rather arrogant tone.

The guard replied, "It's the palace's carriage."

The maid looked over and recognized the driver as the one she had seen in the palace today. She turned to Ji Yao and whispered, "He seems to be someone close to Qiao Xi."

It is very likely that Qiao Xi was in that car.

At this moment, the driver got off the carriage, walked to Ji Yao's carriage, and said, "Miss Ji, the princess wants to see you."

Ji Yao frowned.

Qiao Xi has been hiding in the palace like a turtle all day today. Why is he leaving the palace at this time and following her? What is he doing?

"What's the matter?"

Lu Jiang looked around and said, "It's not convenient to talk here. Miss Ji, please move aside."

When Ji Yao saw him like this, she immediately understood that Qiao Xi was afraid that the people would recognize him, so he didn't dare to get off the car. No wonder he also followed him on this sparsely populated road.

Since that’s the case, she will fulfill her wish.

Ji Yao had ill intentions. She stood on the carriage shaft after getting out and shouted, "The King of Jiangbei is in critical condition and is still recuperating and unable to return home. And yet the Princess of Jiangbei still has the leisure to go shopping."

Although there are not many people in this alley, there are residents on both sides. They may not be able to hear louder noises, not to mention that there are many people causing trouble next door.

"Miss Ji, what do you mean?"

Lu Jiang looked flustered and a little angry, and whispered, "My princess kindly invited you to go see the prince together. If you don't appreciate it, forget it. Our princess will go by herself."

"See Brother Su?"

Ji Yao didn't expect that Qiao Xi was looking for her for this.

Seeing that Lu Jiang seemed to be afraid of attracting the people and turned around and left, he hurriedly got off the carriage and followed him, "Wait a minute."

Lu Jiang deliberately slowed down his pace. Ji Yao stepped onto Qiao Xi's carriage. When the maid was about to follow, Lu Jiang stopped her outside the carriage.

Ji Yao caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye and thought that the maid was blocked outside the car by Lu Jiang, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

With Su Heting's guards around, Qiao Xi's men didn't dare to do anything to her maid, so they lifted the curtain and got into the carriage with peace of mind. "Qiao Xi..."

Before he could finish his words, Qiao Xi grabbed his mouth, and then a cloth ball was stuffed into his mouth, and his hands were twisted behind his back by Qiao Xi.

She turned her head with anger in her eyes, wanting to ask Qiao Xi what she was doing, but she saw Qiao Xi slowly spreading a smile and said arrogantly, "Qiao Xi, if you had obediently given up the position of Princess of Jiangbei earlier, you wouldn't have ended up being criticized by so many people today.

What, are you scared now and want to ask me for help? Let me tell you, it’s too late.”

The anger in Ji Yao's eyes turned into horror.

Because Qiao Xi imitated her voice.
