"Princess? Which princess?!" Jingyi snorted coldly, "Which princess in the royal family don't I know? How dare you make up stories in front of me? I think you're tired of living!"

Princess Jingyi's eyes were already narrow, and she frowned when she heard that. The look she gave Gu Yuyan became even more unfriendly.

"That's right," the woman in the pink dress chuckled. "Our Princess Jingyi grew up in the palace. You dare to call yourself a princess in front of her? You're really courting death!"

"Hahahaha... Exactly, who are these people? How dare they call themselves princesses? Do they still have any shame?"

When the other women heard this, they all covered their mouths and laughed, fearing that they would not be able to flatter Princess Jingyi.

Jiang Mubai didn't expect that this group of people were so blind, and he didn't like the girl being ridiculed like this. He subconsciously moved forward, but was stopped by Gu Yuyan.

If it were in the past, she would have rushed up and quarreled with Jingyi, but now, she is no longer a child.

Gu Yuyan remembered that Aunt Huang had told her a story a few days ago. It was about a woman who was very honest and obedient, but was bullied by her husband for a long time. She often couldn't sleep at night and had to see a doctor.

The doctor prescribed her to boil dates in knife-grinding water and drink it every day. Later, when she couldn't sleep every night, she would get up and sharpen knives in the yard to boil water.

Since then, she has never been bullied again, and her sleeping problems were soon solved.

Aunt Huang told her that this move is called "knocking the mountain to scare the tiger."

Thinking of this, Gu Yuyan smiled and said, "No wonder there have been rumors in the capital recently, saying that there are evil slaves in Prince Zhuang's mansion who oppress the people. I thought to myself, how could the emperor's uncle, who is usually so gentle, raise such a dog slave? Someone must have made up a story to frame the emperor. But... today, I see that even you, Jingyi, are so arrogant. Could it be that the emperor's uncle is really dissatisfied with my father?"

The few words that Gu Yuyan casually made up were originally groundless, but when they fell into the ears of everyone and looked at the actions of the so-called Princess Jingyi, they couldn't help but think in a biased way.

There were already a lot of people queuing up, and when everyone started talking, Jingyi was so scared that her face turned pale.

I wanted to retort angrily, but that would just confirm what Gu Yuyan said.

Disrespecting the emperor and despising the imperial power is a crime punishable by genocide. No matter how arrogant Jingyi is, she dare not deal with this matter lightly. She was so angry that her fingers pinching the handkerchief trembled uncontrollably.

He stared at the girl who was speaking in front of him for a while, then thought about what she had just said. After a while, he changed the subject and said, "You...you are Princess Yuyan?"

Although Gu Yuyan is one year younger than her, she is the emperor's daughter after all, so Jingyi still has to bow when she sees her.

Originally, she came here today because she heard that this was the shop opened by her uncle Jingling's newly married princess. The princess of Jingling was born into a merchant family and was not presentable enough. Now that she is married, she actually comes out to do business, which really brings shame to the royal family.

Therefore, she wanted to come and take a look today and cause some trouble.

Anyway, even if she bullied such a shameful royal daughter-in-law, the royal uncle and grandmother would still praise her when they found out.

But she never expected that Gu Yuyan was also there, and when did that girl who was as fat as a pig become so pretty?

Finally recognized, Gu Yuyan nodded proudly, "Sister Jingyi has a good eye. However, after not seeing her for so long, why did you leave all those rules to the nanny?"

No matter how unwilling she was, Princess Jingyi could only bow obediently with a gloomy face after hearing Gu Yuyan's words.

As for the people behind her, they all knelt on the ground to apologize, their bodies shaking like sieves. After all, if the Ninth Princess caused trouble after saying such words, she was afraid that her family would find out and punish her severely.

The main surprise was that the young woman before them was indeed the legendary fat girl, the Ninth Princess. It was even more surprising that Princess Jingyi would not recognize her. For a moment, everyone felt a little bit of blame for Princess Jingyi, while also praying that the Ninth Princess would let her go.

"That's right~"

Seeing the changes in the appearance of this group of people before and after, Gu Yuyan curled the corners of her lips slightly, lowered her eyes nonchalantly, and there was an indescribable elegance and majesty in her every move.

That gentle yet graceful and noble aura, revealed naturally, makes people unable to resist.

Miaomiao watched from the side and felt that her own princess looked very familiar, just like... just like...

"Xiaojiu."

A woman's clear and pleasant voice, like the sound of jade colliding, came from behind.

When everyone looked up, they saw the woman walking towards them slowly with a smile on her lips.

However, wherever he walked, the majesty emanating from his body made everyone fall into silence.

When Jingyi looked up, Jiang Li paused, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and Jingyi felt as if a pair of hands were strangling her neck, making it impossible for her to breathe.

She had only felt this feeling... when she met Uncle Jingling.

How could this be... Jingyi's expression went blank for a moment.

When she looked again, the woman had a smile on her lips, gentle eyebrows, and clear eyes like a painting. She was just slightly prettier than an ordinary woman.

It must have been just her illusion, Jingyi consoled herself.

Miaomiao had an expression of sudden enlightenment. She finally knew who her princess looked like.

"Aunt Huang, why did you come down?"

The moment she saw Jiang Li, Gu Yuyan turned back into a spoiled little girl, pulling at Jiang Li's hand to hold it.

Jiang Li chuckled, "Since such a distinguished guest has arrived, then as the host and an elder, I must come and see him."
