At this moment, the eldest princess arrived with her nanny.

Compared to Bao Lei, the eldest princess is clearly more tactful in her speech and actions.

She greeted the noble ladies' elders and praised their clothes and jewelry, which pleased the ladies greatly.

She then took her leave, giving the girls space to play on their own.

Bao Lei took the opportunity to lead everyone to the greenhouse on one side of the garden.

Princess Chang's residence has no glass windows, so its greenhouse is certainly not comparable to Jiayin's.

But the greenhouse was built with three and a half sides of blue bricks, and the roof was covered with thick white satin covering the wooden beams.

At midday when it's hottest, the straw mats are removed, and the sunlight shines through the white satin, making the greenhouse bright and warm.

Many flowers are already in full bloom, which is proof that the flower viewing party truly lives up to its name.

Women are naturally fond of flowers. As soon as the noble ladies entered the greenhouse, they scattered to admire the flowers and chat, creating a lively atmosphere.

Baozhu followed Jiayin, but said in a low voice with a look of disdain, "Sister Jiayin, this place isn't as nice as your greenhouse. There's no grape trellis, no cucumbers, and no banana trees..."

Jiayin shook her head at her, reassuringly saying, "Don't talk too much. When we get home, you can even stay in my greenhouse!"

Baozhu then smiled and took the opportunity to make her demands.

"Okay, I want to eat peaches! Last time I went there, the peaches were already the size of a bowl, they'll definitely be ripe in a couple more days!"

Jiayin found it amusing, patted her on the shoulder, then found a tea table to sit down and continue drinking tea and watching the fun.

As for flower viewing...

In her online space, any potted plant she randomly picks out can reign supreme here!

Baozhu was bored, so Jiayin found a red rope and taught her how to play cat's cradle.

As a result, Shui Ling came forward shortly afterward and, under the pretense of tidying up her mistress's skirt, said, "Princess, Miss Bao has called five or six young ladies out one after another."

Jiayin raised an eyebrow and said, "Go follow them and see, but be careful not to be discovered. Don't take any risks."

Shui Ling nodded excitedly, then quietly slipped out along the wall.

Jiayin was preoccupied and couldn't sit still. Just as she was about to get up and look around, the Third Princess arrived.

I wonder if it was difficult for her to leave the palace, which is why she went to great lengths and arrived late.

But she came straight for Jiayin, and the malice in her eyes was clear and obvious.

"Li Jiayin, do you not know to kowtow when you see me?"

Jiayin stood up, smiling innocently and puzzledly, and replied, "Princess, you are the daughter of the Emperor, a princess, while I am just a county princess, of course I should pay my respects to you."

"But as long as you squat, you don't have to kowtow. Didn't the princess's governess teach her these rules?"

"I remember that my royal uncle has already changed many governesses for the princess. Haven't they been teaching her properly?!"

"Then next time I go to the palace, I will definitely talk to my uncle and ask him to find an even stricter nanny for the princess!"

The Third Princess gritted her teeth in hatred, wishing she could tear apart Jiayin's fake innocent face.

This isn't curiosity; it's clearly using her father as a threat!

The third princess was about to lose her temper, but her two governesses quickly stepped forward to persuade her.

You know, the governess who was replaced last time is still missing, and they don't want to follow in her footsteps!

Fortunately, Bao Lei appeared at this moment. She glanced at the distance and saw the noble ladies watching the commotion. She quickly said, "Princess, Your Highness, it's too hot here."

“We have built a new Listening to the Wind Pavilion in our mansion, which is not far away. The sound of the wind there is as melodious as the sound of a flute.”

"Princess and Lady, why don't you do me the honor of having a seat?"

Jiayin's heart skipped a beat, guessing that today's "main event" was finally about to begin.

Just now, she forced Bao Lei to bow, and Bao Lei was so angry, but she didn't turn against her, which clearly shows that she had something to do with it.

We must endure humiliation and hardship to achieve our goal.

Now, to distinguish her from the others, she brought along a third princess—that was the final word!

The Third Princess wanted to embarrass Jiayin in public, but remembering her father's disdain and the Marquis's coldness, she hesitated and turned to leave.

Jiayin entrusted Baozhu to Granny He and followed along with Dongmei.

Listening to the Wind Pavilion was indeed not far away; it was just outside the garden.

Even a broken boat has three pounds of nails; even if the princess's mansion is desperately poor, its wealth cannot be squandered in a day or two!

At least the Tingfeng Pavilion is very well decorated. The tables, chairs and furniture are all made of nanmu wood, which is both grand and beautiful.

A large, soft couch was placed by the window, with a small tea table in the middle and embroidered plum blossom pillows on both sides, making it look very comfortable.

Bao Lei led the Third Princess and Jiayin to sit on either side of the soft couch and said with a smile, "I have something good here. It's a rare treat that the Princess and the County Princess are here as guests today, so you must try it."

"But if our elders see this, they'll probably scold us for being playful. I wonder if the princess and the noblewoman would dare to try it?"

The third princess hated being controlled the most, and being at an age full of rebellion, she immediately said impatiently, "Stop nagging, what is there that this princess wouldn't dare to do? Quickly show it to me."

After saying that, she again tried to drive away the governess.

The two governesses hesitated for a moment, then the Third Princess picked up a soft pillow and smashed it.

The governess had no choice but to lower her head and leave.

Jiayin thought for a moment and then gestured to Dongmei, "Aunt Mei, why don't you go out and have a cup of tea? I'll call you if I need anything."

Dongmei glanced around the room discreetly, and seeing that there was nowhere to hide, she frowned and left.

Bao Lei was very satisfied. She quickly opened the corner cabinet and took out two long pipes, a small lamp stand, and a jade box.

Jiayin saw it clearly and was so shocked that her heart almost stopped.

Fortunately, she wasn't a real child, and quickly changed her expression from surprise to curiosity.

"Miss Bao, what is this? It looks just like the pipes the old men in our village smoke!"

Jiayin casually picked up the long pipe and fiddled with it for a bit, looking completely unconcerned.

The third princess, however, had never seen anyone smoke a pipe before, so she grabbed one and played with it.

Bao Lei quickly said, "Your Highness is right. This is a pipe, used for smoking, but the tobacco isn't tobacco, it's a kind of 'divine balm'."

"Immortal Cream? Is it a cream that can turn people into immortals?" Jiayin asked, deliberately changing the subject.

This drew disdain from Bao Lei, but she patiently explained.

"Your Highness is joking. A person is a person; how can they become a god?"

"However, this 'immortal ointment' can temporarily transform you into an immortal by just a few puffs, allowing you to enjoy the freedom of riding the clouds and being omnipotent."

The Third Princess's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she couldn't help but urge, "How do you extract this? Hurry up and let me try it."

Bao Lei deftly lit the lampstand, then opened the jade box and scooped out a spoonful of brown tobacco paste. But before she could put it on the lampstand to heat it, Jia Yin's nose started sniffing around, then she pulled a handkerchief over her mouth and suddenly started gagging.

Bao Lei was startled, and the Third Princess was also full of surprise.

Bao Lei asked, "What's wrong, Princess?"

"I...I smell something foul, and it's making me feel unwell!"

Jiayin, her face pale, hurriedly replied, but before she could cover her mouth again, she sprayed filth all over the table.

Most of them were snacks that had just been eaten and hadn't been digested yet!
