Chapter 543 Is Silver Worthless?

The Sixth Princess felt something was wrong when she heard this. What did they mean by "from the same village"? It sounded as if Sister Xiao and Lord Jiang had something going on. She quickly said, "Fifth Sister, Lord Jiang is a stranger. Sister Xiao..."

"Sixth sister, there are no outsiders here. I just want to hear the truth from Miss Xiao." The fifth princess looked at Xiao Jiuyue without blinking. No matter what, she wanted to make sure that there was really nothing between her and Lord Jiang.

"Mr. Jiang is the village teacher and also my younger brother's teacher. He is very talented. Not only me, but also the people in the village, respect Mr. Jiang very much."

Xiao Jiuyue emphasized the pronunciation of the words "Mr. Jiang" and "Respect".

"Master Jiang is indeed talented." The Fifth Princess smiled. She stepped forward and said, "Miss Xiao, I apologize for my rudeness just now. I misunderstood."

The Fifth Princess thought she was very good at judging people. Xiao Jiuyue's eyes were clear, and when he mentioned Mr. Jiang, his eyes were frank and there was no evasion at all. She knew that she had misunderstood.

The Fifth Princess' apology surprised Xiao Jiuyue. She smiled nonchalantly, "Fifth Princess, you're being too serious. I was just chatting casually about the new hot pot at Fengchun Tower. Are there any dietary restrictions for the two princesses?"

Xiao Jiuyue finally understood that the Fifth Princess really liked Lord Jiang and was bold in love and hate. She was a little curious. She wondered what the Fifth Princess would do when she saw Rong Xun, the first person she had fallen in love with when she was a young girl.

Rong Xun and Jiang Yu are both knowledgeable and talented people.

"Sister Xiao, I can eat anything." The Sixth Princess was afraid that her Fifth Sister would quarrel over Jiang Yu's matter, so she quickly said, "Sister Xiao, I want to eat Fengchunlou's signature dish."

"Don't worry, you can eat it all. I'm just worried that your stomach can't hold it." Xiao Jiuyue looked at the Sixth Princess's small body, which was similar to Ting Wu, thin and small. She was afraid that she would be full without eating much.

"Don't worry, I can eat a lot." The Sixth Princess said with a smile. When Cui Yao came in with Xiao Yurong and Xiao Tingwu, the Sixth Princess immediately saw Xiao Tingwu, who was about her age, and said, "Sister Xiao, this must be Xiao Tingwu, she looks about my age."

"Sixth Princess." Xiao Tingwu saluted quickly.

After some greetings, the room on the second floor suddenly became lively. Carts carrying vegetables upstairs immediately became a beautiful scenery.

The hot pot dishes were placed on beautiful porcelain plates specially ordered from the Tang family, and each dish looked like a work of art.

"Fifth Princess? You're back." Du Ting was the first to arrive. When she saw the Fifth Princess, she was particularly enthusiastic. She smiled and said, "It's a pity that Feng Yan didn't come, otherwise she would definitely be happy to see the Fifth Princess."

Feng Yan? ?

When Xiao Jiuyue heard the name, she couldn't help but think of Feng Yan who had her maid stop her on the way back to Shengjing that day.

"What happened to Feng Yan? I just returned to the capital, why can't I see her?" The moment the Fifth Princess asked, Du Ting hesitated. The Fifth Princess pressed on, "Du Ting, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you hesitating?"

"That's hard to say." Du Ting glanced at Xiao Jiuyue.

The fifth princess said doubtfully, "It's hard to say what you are looking at Miss Xiao for."

"Fifth sister, you don't know yet, do you? Miss Du is going to marry Second Brother and become his wife!" As soon as the Sixth Princess finished speaking, the Fifth Princess's eyes changed and she said, "That's perfect. You and Feng Yan have a close relationship like sisters. From now on, you will both stay in Second Brother's house and have company."

"Feng Yan won't marry my second brother, Feng Yan's sister will enter the mansion as a concubine, and Feng Yan will be engaged to the young master of the Wang family." The Sixth Princess seemed to be deliberately trying to ruin Du Ting's plan. No matter what Du Ting wanted to say, the Sixth Princess would interrupt him and leave him no chance to speak.

"Fifth sister, when Princess Mu Xi comes, you have to compete with her. Otherwise, she will always think that the girls from Yongzhao Kingdom are the best!" The Sixth Princess pulled the Fifth Princess to change the subject and said, "Fifth sister, you are the best at pitching pots. Let's compete later."

"How could a girl from Yongzhao Kingdom be as powerful as our Nanyue?" When the Fifth Princess heard this, she immediately put Feng Yan out of her mind.

"Our Yongzhao girl is not bad either!" Princess Muxi had just been led into the wing room by her maid when she heard the Fifth Princess say, "Want to compete?"

Last time she lost five hundred taels of silver, she was angry for several days. She couldn't understand why Xiao Jiuyue, with his thin arms and legs, was so much stronger than her?

"Princess Yongzhao?" The Fifth Princess recognized her immediately. Mu Xi's attire looked quite different from the women of South Vietnam. She said, "The girls of South Vietnam are definitely better than those of Yongzhao. Don't you agree? Let's have a competition?"

The fifth princess has a masculine personality, cheerful and generous. When she met Princess Mu Xi, she immediately wanted to compete with her.

"Let's compete," Mu Xi said, then asked, "What are we competing for?"

The game of pitching pots they just talked about?

Mu Xi didn't know much about South Vietnam. Even though she knew she was going to marry into a foreign alliance, she read a lot of information and learned a lot on the way from Yongzhao. But words can never speak as fast as personal experience.

"Tou Hu is similar to archery." The Fifth Princess said with a smile. As soon as she said she wanted to compete, someone had already prepared the tools for the game. The Fifth Princess said, "How about it? Do you want to compete?"

"Let's compete, but what's the prize?" Mu Xi refused to admit defeat, she had to win something back no matter what.

The Fifth Princess was about to mention hairpins or jewelry when the Sixth Princess whispered in her ear, "Fifth Sister, the last time we hunted, we competed for five hundred taels of silver."

Five hundred taels?

When the fifth princess heard about so much silver, a question popped up in her mind: Is silver so worthless now?

Xiao Jiuyue provided the venue and warmly welcomed Miss Gao and Miss Lin who had just arrived, and told them about the competition they were going to have.

Miss Gao and Miss Lin looked at each other. Didn’t they come here to eat?

Feng Yin arrived the latest, mainly because she was pestered by Feng Yan. Feng Yan insisted on going along, and finally arrived after a long delay. When they arrived, the Fifth Princess and Princess Mu Xi had already started competing.

"Miss Du!" Feng Yan glanced at the Fifth Princess competing, then his gaze fell on Du Ting standing nearby. Just as Du Ting was about to leave, Feng Yan blocked her path. "Miss Du, why are you hiding? Are you feeling guilty?"

Ever since she heard the news from Xiao Jiuyue that Du Ting was going to marry the second prince, she always thought that Xiao Jiuyue was lying. But when the imperial edict granting the marriage came down, Feng Yan went from disbelief to full of anger. She went to look for Du Ting, but unfortunately, she didn't even see Du Ting!

"Yanyan, you misunderstood. I just wanted to go and cheer up the Fifth Princess." Du Ting stepped back silently. She looked at Feng Yan's cold eyes and always had a bad premonition.
