The Seventh Princess gave the order.

The palace maids and eunuchs around him immediately surrounded him.

The palace maid who had led the way was so frightened that she knelt down with a thud, her face deathly pale, repeatedly kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Seventh Princess, please forgive me! This is a distinguished guest of the Imperial Concubine, Miss Jiang. She is not from the inner palace..."

Is this fierce and domineering girl the Seventh Princess?

Jiaojiao bowed slightly and said calmly, "This humble woman greets the Seventh Princess."

Upon hearing Jiang Jiaojiao's words, the Seventh Princess was clearly taken aback; she had thought she was a newly promoted concubine in the palace.

Her eyes widened as she scrutinized Jiang Jiaojiao, then she suddenly raised her voice: "Miss Jiang? You're Commander Jiang's sister?!"

His voice carried a hint of surprise and arrogance.

"Commander Jiang?"

Jiang Jiaojiao didn't react for a moment, but Ah Xiang whispered a reminder, "It's the eldest young master..."

Jiang Jiaojiao suddenly realized.

Oh right, her good older brother is now the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard.

"Yes, it's me. Do you know my older brother?"

Jiang Jiaojiao frowned and asked.

Upon hearing Jiang Jiaojiao's reply, the Seventh Princess raised her chin and said even more arrogantly, "Go back and tell your elder brother that I have taken a liking to him, and that he should go to Father Emperor to ask for permission to become my consort!"

"I heard the Jin family prepared several hundred dowry items for you?"

"Then your elder brother's betrothal gifts to this princess must not be less than yours, nor can they be of inferior quality! Also, regarding your clothes and headdress, this princess likes gold, so none of you may wear gold from now on."

"I've heard you also know medicine? Then you must give me the pills you make first!"

Jiang Jiaojiao: "..."

Where did this idiot come from?

Did you forget your brain at home?

Jiang Jiaojiao stared wide-eyed at the Seventh Princess in front of her as if she were an idiot. Was there something wrong with her?

Not only was Jiang Jiaojiao stunned, but even A Yuan, A Xiang, and the palace maids and eunuchs around the Seventh Princess were astonished, their mouths agape as if their jaws were about to drop.

For a moment, the entire garden fell into a deathly silence, with only the Seventh Princess's arrogant and shrill voice echoing in the air.

Jiang Jiaojiao shook her head, turned around and left. Her mother wouldn't let her play with the mentally challenged man.

Seeing that Jiang Jiaojiao ignored her and turned to leave, the Seventh Princess felt a surge of anger and shouted, "Stop! I haven't finished speaking yet, who said you could leave!"

"Once your elder brother marries me, I will be your elder sister-in-law. I will have to choose your things first, and you will have to do whatever I tell you to do."

Jiang Jiaojiao couldn't hold back any longer.

He turned around and pointed at the Seventh Princess's head, "Is there something wrong with you here?"

“My eldest brother is already engaged to the Fourth Princess, so my future sister-in-law will only be the Fourth Princess.”

"If you're still not fully awake, go back and take another nap. If you're sick, go see the imperial physician. Oh, and if you've got water in your brain, you can try standing upside down to calm it down."

Jiang Jiaojiao was too lazy to pay attention to this unreasonable seventh princess, so she turned around and left.

The seventh princess stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief. She had always been pampered and cherished since childhood, and no one had ever dared to speak to her like that before.

An uncontrollable rage surged from her feet to her head, erupting like a volcano and igniting her entire being.

He suddenly lunged at Jiang Jiaojiao, reaching out his hands to push her into the lake.

Jiang Jiaojiao instinctively dodged to the side.

The seventh princess exerted too much force and was unable to stop in time. Her body lurched straight forward and she plunged headfirst into the icy lake water.

With a loud "splash," a huge splash of water rose from the lake.

Then came the seventh princess's scream, "Help—"

"I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"

Jiang Jiaojiao spread her hands, looking relaxed and smug. "I didn't do anything. You fell down on your own."

The palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they jumped into the water one by one to save the person.

suddenly--

A familiar figure ran over from a distance. Hearing the palace maids, ladies, and eunuchs shouting "Princess! Save the princess!" he didn't hesitate to jump into the lake to save her.

Jiang Jiaojiao reacted quickly, grabbing the person who came in. "You big idiot! Look carefully before you jump!"

Jiang Jingtian was taken aback.

"Jiaojiao? What are you doing here?"

"Isn't the fourth princess in the lake?"

Jiang Jiaojiao's fist hardened. If it weren't for the Seventh Princess being in the lake, she would have really wanted to throw this good older brother in to wash his brain.

"Hehe... If you want to get me a new sister-in-law, then go ahead and jump down."

"What?"

Jiang Jingtian's mind went blank for a moment. Then he looked at the person splashing in the lake. Uh... it didn't seem to be the Fourth Princess.

Seeing that Commander Jiang was being stopped by Jiang Jiaojiao, the Seventh Princess shouted angrily, "Commander Jiang, save me!"

You can hear the sound.

Jiang Jingtian shuddered and quickly stepped back, fearing he might accidentally fall.

Seeing this, the Seventh Princess screamed at Jiang Jiaojiao in anger, "You just wait! Once he becomes my consort, I'll make you pay!"

After shouting.

She splashed around a few more times, but seeing that Jiang Jingtian really had no intention of going into the water to save her, she could only stand up angrily. The lake water was shallow, only reaching her waist.

Jiang Jiaojiao almost burst out laughing.

Good heavens, so that's what they were planning.

Is she going to rely on this silly older brother for the sake of saving her life, with such intimate physical contact?

"Heh, if I hadn't been quick, you would have been dead."

Jiang Jiaojiao sneered and looked at her older brother, who looked annoyed and frightened: "Who told you to come?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingtian trembled slightly. He took two steps back and explained in a flustered manner, "It was...it was Lan'er from the Fourth Princess's side who sent someone to inform me, saying that the Fourth Princess had something urgent to discuss with me."

"Lan'er?"

Jiang Jiaojiao was stunned and looked at the palace maid who had been ordered by the Seventh Princess to be slapped in the face.

When the palace maid saw Jiang Jingtian, she scrambled over to him, her face smeared with tears and blood: "My lord, please, please go and save the princess!"

Jiang Jingtian's expression changed drastically, and he grabbed her shoulder: "Are you Lan'er? What happened to the Fourth Princess?"

Jiang Jiaojiao's expression changed, and she quickly walked over.

Ignoring the bruises and swelling on her face, Lan'er shouted, "The Fourth Princess has been taken away by Consort Li!"

"Consort Li?"

Jiang Jingtian was taken aback, not immediately recognizing who it was, and frowned, "Where did she take the Fourth Princess?"

Lan'er shook her head, crying, "I don't know, but before the princess left, she instructed me to inform the prince consort if she didn't return within half an hour."

Jiang Jiaojiao's expression changed instantly. She looked at the Seventh Princess, who had climbed out of the lake, and sneered, "Isn't Consort Li the Seventh Princess's birth mother?"

"Yes, the Seventh Princess knew that I had gone to the Prince Consort for help, so she had people attack me. She even said... she even said that the Prince Consort was hers and that our princess was only fit to go to the Northern Mongols for a political marriage."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingtian's face instantly darkened.

A fierce glint flashed in Jiang Jiaojiao's eyes. "So, the Seventh Princess! Consort Li!"

After saying that, she strode towards the Seventh Princess.
