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

When Yufeng rushed to the door, he happened to witness this scene.

The housekeeper was standing in front of the door, looking domineering with a smug smile on her face.

When she saw Yufeng's figure appear, her attitude immediately changed. With a hint of anxiety between her eyebrows, she bowed respectfully to Yufeng: "Master Yufeng, you came at the right time."

She raised her finger and pointed at Jiang Yingxue standing beside her, her words carrying a hint of aggression: "There's a woman here pretending to be the daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and she even injured these guards. This is truly unforgivable."

Yu Feng glared at the housekeeper: "Stupid!"

The housekeeper was taken aback, a flicker of astonishment flashing across her eyes, but she quickly straightened her back and turned to look at Jiang Yingxue, her tone even more fierce: "That's right! How dare you impersonate Miss Jiang? I think you are tired of living! How foolish!"

Yufeng sighed slightly, then shook his head: "I said you are stupid."

"Me?" The housekeeper pointed at herself and looked at Yufeng with a bewildered look. After all, she couldn't believe that Yufeng would accuse her so bluntly.

Yu Feng strode forward and bowed to Jiang Yingxue: "Miss Jiang, long time no see."

The housekeeper was extremely surprised: "Miss Jiang!? She is Jiang Yingxue? How is it possible..."

Jiang Yingxue ignored her: "I want to see the prince right away."

Yufeng nodded: "Okay, please follow me."

Yu Feng glared at the housekeeper and whispered, "I'll teach you a lesson later."

Cui Yu also deliberately raised her chin when she passed by her.

The housekeeper suddenly felt a chill running up her spine. She stood there blankly, opening her mouth but not knowing how to refute.

Yufeng took Jiang Yingxue and Cuiyu through the corridor and came to the front hall.

He led Jiang Yingxue to sit down and quickly asked someone to bring her tea.

"Miss Jiang, please wait here for a moment. His Highness has some matters to attend to. He will be able to come and accompany you in about half an hour, no, two incense sticks of time."

Jiang Yingxue nodded slightly and gently fiddled with the teacup. The warm tea rippled slightly with her movements, reflecting circle after circle of ripples.

"It's okay, Prince, you're busy with official duties, so we'll just wait for you. But there's something I can't figure out..."

She stopped what she was doing and turned her gaze to Yufeng.

Yu Feng blinked slightly and replied in a low voice: "Miss, is there anything unclear?"

Jiang Yingxue took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, with a faint smile on her lips, but without a trace of joy.

"What's going on with your steward aunt? How can someone so outspoken be the steward aunt in the Eastern Palace? Even if she doesn't know me, she should know that I can enter the palace alone, so my status must be high."

"That's right," Cui Yu quickly replied, "Among the noble ladies in the capital, only our young lady can freely enter and leave the palace without being summoned. She doesn't even think about it... There's no one else who is so beautiful and can freely enter the palace except our young lady."

Jiang Yingxue shook her head. "This is still a small matter. It's just that she's relying on her status as the daughter of a minister to flaunt her power. It's too dangerous to let someone like that be the stewardess of the Eastern Palace. What is the Crown Prince thinking? Why would he let her take on this position?"

"Alas...her..." Yu Feng shrugged helplessly: "This matter has to start from the fact that our Majesty was very fond of a Taoist priest."

Jiang Yingxue frowned immediately: "This Taoist priest again?"

"Yes...Miss, you don't know that ever since this Taoist priest entered the palace, His Majesty has listened to him in everything. In the past, whoever controlled the Prime Minister controlled the country, but now whoever controlled the Taoist priest controlled the country. He insisted that Song Shuqin, the daughter of the Minister, had a good fortune and was suitable to be the stewardess of the Eastern Palace, so His Majesty replaced His Highness's people without saying a word."

Jiang Yingxue heard this and looked incredulous: "Is this such a joke?"

Yu Feng shrugged: "That's right... And I've done some private research. That stinky Taoist priest has received a lot of benefits from the Minister of the Central Secretariat. I guess that's why he made up all these stories and gave Song Shuqin a good reputation. We in the Eastern Palace don't want to accept such a spoiled girl who doesn't know how to adapt and bullies others by taking advantage of her power, but she insists on clinging to Your Highness, and there's nothing we can do..."

"Why does Song Shuqin cling to the Crown Prince?"

"Speaking of this, I really can't help but vent!"

Yu Feng sat down next to Jiang Yingxue and said, "Miss, let me tell you, ever since you went to Xianyun Sect, those noble ladies have been glaring at Your Highness like jackals. When you were in the capital before, everyone knew that you were the perfect match for Your Highness, a perfect match made in heaven! That's why those noble ladies didn't dare to make a move, after all, they couldn't compare themselves to you. But ever since you went to Xianyun Sect, they've started to act like evil."

Yu Feng became more and more excited as he spoke. "You don't know, those noble ladies have used many unusual tricks to get close to His Highness. They've created dangerous situations to save the beauties, drugged people and accidentally entered the room. If His Highness had a good temper, they would have been exiled long ago for scheming against him. Look, this Song Shuqin is even worse. She directly bribed the aunt in charge and we can't influence her."

After saying that, Yufeng rolled his eyes.

"I see..." Jiang Yingxue nodded slightly. "What is the origin of this Taoist priest? What is his extraordinary qualities that have earned His Majesty's appreciation?"

Yufeng shook his head. "We don't know his origins either. He always said he was taught by a mysterious master and couldn't reveal the details. As for why he was appreciated by His Majesty..."

Yu Feng lowered his voice and moved closer to Jiang Yingxue: "I've already told the young lady about this, but please don't let it spread... I'm afraid even your father doesn't know about this."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingxue nodded quickly.

"That Taoist priest promised Your Majesty that he could help Your Majesty expand the territory and annex the Canglan Kingdom."

"Ridiculous!" Jiang Yingxue immediately said: "A mere Taoist priest actually wants to swallow up—"

"Shh!" Yu Feng hurriedly stopped Jiang Yingxue: "Miss, keep your voice down... Your Highness and I overheard this by accident. If we hadn't overheard it, even Your Highness wouldn't know about this..."

"Okay..." Jiang Yingxue rubbed her brows helplessly. "This is related to state affairs. You actually told me, a woman without any official position, such a confidential matter. You really think too highly of me."

Jiang Yingxue raised her eyebrows and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll tell others?"

"My lady, that's not the way to say it. You are different from other noble ladies. You are our ally, we are all one, so naturally you will listen to us. Otherwise, His Highness would not have sent you to the Xianyun Sect in the first place, right?"

"What did you say?" Jiang Yingxue was slightly stunned. "What do you mean, Your Highness, send me to the Xianyun Sect?"
