The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

"Miss, this is the East Palace, you are not allowed to come in casually."

Jiang Yingxue looked at the palace maid who stopped her and was stunned: "You don't know me?"

The palace maid sighed and said, "Girl, if you want to enter the East Palace, change your words. I'm tired of hearing this."

Jiang Yingxue couldn't help but frown at her impatient tone. "No, I didn't understand. In the past, I had no problem entering the East Palace. What's going on today?"

When the palace maid saw Jiang Yingxue's righteous look, she immediately became unhappy.

Those noble ladies who wanted to enter the Eastern Palace to see the prince all had their own requests. This one in front of me really didn't know how to deal with things, and with such a seductive look, who was she trying to seduce?

She crossed her arms, sized up Jiang Yingxue, and looked up, saying, "You're a stranger. I'm afraid you must have used all your tricks and relied on your father's official position to enter the palace. But let me tell you, entering the palace is one thing, and entering the Eastern Palace is another! I've seen many noble ladies like you who dress so ostentatiously, hoping to rise to the top and win the favor of the Crown Prince."

Cui Yu's face flushed with anger. She straightened her back, stepped forward, pointed at the maid, and angrily shouted, "How dare you disrespect my eldest daughter! Do you even know who my eldest daughter is? And you, how come I've never seen you in the palace before?"

"Hahahahahaha," the palace maid laughed disdainfully, "It's right that you haven't seen me. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to see me. Besides, I've been in the East Palace for more than a month, and you don't recognize the face of me, the East Palace's housekeeper. It can only be said that your level is not high enough. As for you..."

The palace maid looked at Jiang Yingxue again and snorted, "I advise you to do your homework before entering the Eastern Palace, and don't just spend your time on dressing up."

"you--"

Cui Yu wanted to step forward and teach the so-called aunt in charge a lesson, but was immediately stopped by Jiang Yingxue.

Jiang Yingxue's eyebrows slightly raised, a gentle yet meaningful smile appeared on her face. She did not immediately respond to the palace maid, but said calmly: "Just now you claimed to be the aunt in charge, so you must be a noble lady from a powerful family background."

The maid raised her eyebrows, a hint of pride immediately appearing in her eyes: "Not bad."

Jiang Yingxue's lips curled up slightly. "But from what I know, the aunts who manage the affairs are usually older women with rich experience, but you look no more than in your teens or twenties. What's the matter? There's no one left in the capital, so they're looking for someone like you to fill the gap?"

When the palace maid heard this, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of obvious annoyance.

"How dare you!" The maid's voice rose dramatically. "How dare you speak to me like that? I'm telling you! My father is the Minister of the Imperial Household! Even if you're from some other family, I wouldn't be afraid of offending you. Besides, I've met ladies from families with higher official positions than my father, and I don't recall anyone like you."

Cui Yu was furious when she heard this. "That's because my young lady has been frail since she was young and doesn't like going out. That's why she doesn't often appear outside! The daughter of a mere minister is so arrogant! My young lady is the daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery! She and the Crown Prince were childhood sweethearts. You've only been in the Eastern Palace for a month. When did it become your turn to tell my young lady what to do?"

The maid's face changed slightly after hearing this, but she remained dismissive and sneered, "The daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery? Are you talking about that sickly beauty from the capital, Jiang Yingxue?"

Cui Yu raised her head proudly: "Exactly."

"Pfft..." The palace maid burst out laughing. "I say, next time you want to steal someone else's identity, can you please investigate thoroughly first? I've certainly never met the daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, but she went to the Xianyun Sect to practice a year and a half ago and hasn't returned yet. You can fool others, but you can't fool me."

Cui Yu's eyes widened, and she almost jumped up in anger: "How dare you say that my lady is a liar!?"

She was so angry that her words were barely fluent. Panting, she walked around to Jiang Yingxue, pointed at her face, and emphasized every word: "Look carefully at this beautiful face! In the whole capital, besides my young lady, who else can have such a beautiful face!? It's okay that you can't talk, but how can you even..."

The maid's face darkened when she heard this. The corners of her mouth twitched and her brows furrowed. "Even what?"

Cuiyu didn't dare to speak frankly. Although her young lady was the daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, she was still a maid after all and didn't dare to contradict the daughter of a third-rank official.

At this moment, Jiang Yingxue chuckled softly and said calmly, "Why don't you seem to be very smart?"

She spoke slowly, but the irony in her voice was undiminished.

When the palace maid heard Jiang Yingxue's words, her face instantly turned red with anger: "What did you say!?"

She practically roared through gnashing teeth, "Do you know that my position as the steward aunt was personally appointed by His Majesty? Are you questioning His Majesty's decision?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingxue frowned even more tightly.

Logically speaking, with such qualities, she would not be able to be the aunt in charge of the Eastern Palace. Is Your Majesty getting senile?

Just as she was thinking, the palace maid suddenly said, "Come here, drive these two unknown creatures out."

As soon as she finished speaking, a group of guards in iron armor rushed over quickly, their steps in unison, their swords shining.

When the guards came aggressively and were about to capture Jiang Yingxue and Cui Yu by force, Jiang Yingxue waved her hand gently.

As he raised his hand, a strong airflow burst out, pushing forward with an oppressive force.

The guards were caught off guard and forced to take a few steps back. Everyone was stunned.

How could this weak woman in front of me have such strength?

"Look! Look!" After seeing Jiang Yingxue's palm strike, the palace maid became even more certain that she was right. "Everyone in the capital knows that the daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery only possesses a single, top-grade spiritual root but no cultivation. And you clearly have cultivation now! How could you possibly be Jiang Yingxue!?"

After hearing this, Jiang Yingxue just glanced at her lightly, then smiled slightly, and swept her eyes across the faces of the group of guards, with a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I had something important to discuss with the Crown Prince, so I was a little rough."

After all, there was no need for her to pretend now, and she had already controlled the force of the palm strike just now to be very light.

After saying that, she looked at one of the guards and said, "I don't want to waste time. Since everyone here is a new face and no one knows me, then where is Yufeng? Yufeng can't be away from the East Palace, right? Go and call Yufeng over."

The maid sneered, "Oh, you are quite capable. You even found out the name of His Highness's personal guard. But since you have such a high level of cultivation, it is indeed necessary for Master Yufeng to treat you."

After saying that, the palace maid looked at one of the guards and said, "Go and fetch Lord Yufeng."
