Before transmigration: she was single, owned a house, had a high-profile career, and was a hilarious gossip chief editor.
After transmigration: she had money in one hand and power in the othe...
Feng Ming was feeling irritable. Although she had done strenuous exercise in the morning, she had no appetite. She asked Feng Xiyun and Feng Yuyun to eat slowly while she went to take a bath and dress up. She estimated that Princess Xishan would be here soon, and it would be bad if she was still taking a bath when others arrived.
Sure enough, just as Fengming was finishing her preparations, a servant came to report that Princess Xishan had arrived.
"Sister Xishan, you're here so early."
Feng Ming went to greet him with a smile, and both sides greeted each other warmly. Feng Yuyun and Feng Xiyun also greeted them one by one.
"Then let's set off now. Today happens to be the Spring Festival of Ming City. Half of the Jiangnan Pavilion will be open to the public. It will be very lively."
Xishan has actually been engaged and has chosen a prince consort, but she is still just an eighteen-year-old girl. She cannot normally walk freely outside the palace like Fengming. She is very happy to have the opportunity to accompany Fengming to travel around this time.
"Hey, Sister Xishan, what are the special features of your Spring Festival tour?"
Feng Yuyun originally had no interest in visiting gardens. In her life in the 21st century, her professor parents would take her to travel around the country during the winter and summer vacations. She must have seen too many of the top ten gardens in Suzhou.
Now that she heard there were festivals and activities, she became interested.
Xishan gave an embarrassed smile, "Sister Yuyun, I'm really sorry. Actually... Actually, this is my first time participating in the Spring Festival activities of ordinary people... Ah, but, but I asked the girls around me to ask around. I heard that there will be all kinds of special foods, juggling skills, and exhibitions of special goods from vendors from other places. It's quite lively."
"(σ???)σ Wow, there's still a lot of stuff. I wonder if some merchants from Daqing will come over. Let's go quickly, let's go early and have more fun."
The three princesses rode in a spacious carriage together. Feng Xiyun was impatient to ride in the carriage, so she followed on horseback, and was led to the Jiangnan Pavilion by Dong Yao's officers and soldiers.
It is said that three women make a drama. When the three girls get together, they chatter non-stop. Xishan likes these two princesses from Daqing more and more.
She originally thought that the princess from the Celestial Empire would be very arrogant and difficult to serve, but she was not only kind and gentle to others, but also took good care of her.
Her Daqing Mandarin was not very fluent, but she never felt any problem in communication. Even before she realized she had said something wrong, Fengming quickly understood what she meant and helped her complete what she wanted to say. Since Xin Wu passed away, this was the first time she had such a happy chat with a same-sex sister.
The few of them were chatting happily and didn't notice that the carriage had stopped.
Knock knock...
There was a knock on the carriage door, and Bi Chun's voice came from outside: "Princess, we're here."
Xishan, Feng Yuyun and Fengming got off the car one after another. In front of them was a small round gate with the unique original characteristics of Jiangnan. If Fengming didn't know clearly that he was in Dongyaoming City, he would have mistakenly thought that he was in the real Jiangnan. It seems that the name of this Jiangnan Pavilion is really worthy of its name.
Because Jiangnan Pavilion was having a Spring Festival tour today, the front half of the courtyard was open to the public. There were a lot of people, horses and carriages there. Fengming and his friends entered through the back door, which was similar to the VIP passage.
Fengming noticed that there were many carriages of different shapes but obviously luxurious parked where they got off.
"Sister Xishan? The front yard is open to civilians today. What about the back yard?"
Xishan also noticed the carriages and horses, and his expression became a little uneasy.
But she didn't explain. She had some vague guesses, but she didn't know whether it was true or not. She just pulled Fengming's hand. Fengming liked Xishan very much now, so naturally she didn't ask any more questions.
The four continued to walk inside, and from afar they heard a burst of hearty, clear, silver bell-like laughter coming from the yard.
"Hehehe, sisters, come and play together~"
It’s Bai Baozhu’s voice!
Xishan could no longer control his emotions, anger appeared on his face, and he was about to rush forward.
Feng Ming quickly grabbed her and asked, "Sister Xishan, what happened?"
When Fengming pulled Xishan, he realized that Fengming and the others were still there.
But then, his expression became filled with guilt and suspicion. He glanced over there, then pulled Fengming and the others in another direction. When they reached a slightly more secluded place, Xishan looked around to make sure there were no outsiders, then he bowed to the three of them.
"I'm sorry that Xishan doesn't use it every month."
Feng Ming naturally hurried to help: "Sister, what are you talking about? Why are you so sorry?"
Xishan looked a little sad, and he sighed deeply before telling the reason.
It turned out that she wanted to entertain Fengming and the other two today. After returning to the palace yesterday, she asked King Dongyao to open the backyard only to them today, and King Dongyao clearly agreed.
But today, when I got off the carriage and saw that the carriages were all from families who were friends with Bai Baozhu, I wondered if Bai Baozhu had come too.
As expected, she really was...really, afraid that someone else would steal the limelight!
Xishan is a typical princess who abides by the rules. She is too embarrassed to use excessive words even when she wants to curse others. In fact, isn't this just being a bitch and being pretentious?
Although some of Xishan's words were not accurate, Fengming understood what she meant.
It should be that Bai Baozhu learned that Xishan was going to invite them to visit the Jiangnan Pavilion after it was closed today. I don’t know what she was thinking, but she deliberately invited a group of rich ladies who usually got along well with her to come here and play, just to deliberately offend Xishan.
As for why King Dongyao agreed to close the Xishan Inner Courtyard, but Bai Baozhu and the others were still able to come, it goes without saying that it was because of Queen Dongyao.
"It's okay, sister, don't worry. This is not your fault. Why get angry and hurt yourself over such people? It's not good for you to look at them."
"Yes, sister, don't blame yourself. It's that Bai Baozhu's fault."
"Yes, yes."
Feng Ming took Xishan's hand to comfort her, Feng Yuyun also joined in. Feng Xiyun didn't know what to say, so he just nodded in agreement stupidly.
“Puff~”
Xishan was touched by the three people's concern, and was amused by Feng Xiyun's silly look and burst out laughing.
"Okay, okay, be good, don't be angry. You can't get angry over someone you don't want to do. It's harmful to your body and skin."
Feng Ming subconsciously coaxed Xishan as he did Feng Yuyun and the others, which made Xishan feel better.
"It's okay. Since it's the Spring Festival holiday and is open to all, we don't need to make any special arrangements. Since they want to play too, then let's play together. Are you afraid of her?"
Feng Xiyun finally organized a decent sentence, but it was still very personal.
"Alas, actually, this Spring Festival tour lasts for three days, and it's not like we're deliberately making it special and not letting them play. It's just today. Who knew they couldn't even endure this one day? Sigh."
