Ji Fengyao gritted her teeth inwardly: This person probably hasn't yet witnessed the wonders of the storage ring.

Once he witnesses the wonders of the storage ring and realizes its value, he will certainly no longer be bothered by a mere piece of paper!

Looking at the clever and scheming little bandit in his arms, Shang Xiye was in a good mood: Little thing, you are mine, why should I care about external things?

The eunuch, who was leading the way by half a step, glanced back casually, and couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth:

The Ninth Prince and Ninth Princess have been showering the palace with their lovey-dovey moments all the way.

No wonder the Emperor so readily handed this task over to him. Even he, the eunuch, was nearly blinded by its brilliance; wouldn't the Emperor's heart be pierced to pieces upon seeing it?

Just as he was feeling sour, a blind man suddenly appeared in front of him, standing up for the Ninth Prince.

"You shameless bandit! In broad daylight, you dare to sit on a man's lap! Get down right now! Don't you know my Ninth Imperial Uncle has an injury on his leg?"

Upon hearing the sound, Eunuch De looked up and saw Shang Chuyue's righteous and indignant face. He quickly gave her and Princess Zhaoping beside her a meaningful look.

The young couple is so loving, they don't even feel ashamed. It's really undignified for you two unmarried girls to meddle in their affairs.

Shang Chuyue, however, seemed not to have noticed Eunuch De's hint and continued to glare fiercely at Ji Fengyao.

Princess Zhaoping was already feeling incredibly jealous. She clutched the veil in Shang Chuyue's hand, biting her lower lip, looking like she was about to cry from grievance.

No wonder the Empress Dowager sent her to see the Sixth Princess so early in the morning; she must have been afraid that the Sixth Princess would run into Brother Xi Ye and this bandit.

How could someone as noble and proud as Brother Xiye be so humiliated by this bandit in broad daylight and in front of everyone!

“Ninth Princess Consort, you…you’ve gone too far…” Princess Zhaoping said in a low voice, filled with grief and indignation.

Ji Fengyao turned around and saw the two busybodies, which amused her. She teased them, saying, "So it's Princess Zhaoping and your little niece. Adult matters are not for you children to understand. Don't look at what is improper. Go play somewhere else."

"You! Who is your little niece!" Shang Chuyue screamed in embarrassment and anger. She didn't want to be associated with this lowly bandit!

Ji Fengyao hooked her arm around Shang Xiye's neck, sat up straight, and leaned on his shoulder without any intention of getting down: "Although we are about the same age, if you call the Ninth Prince Ninth Imperial Uncle, then you must call me Ninth Imperial Aunt. In terms of seniority, you are indeed my little niece. You don't need to be shy about me calling you little niece. Come, let Auntie give you some money to buy candy."

As she spoke, Ji Fengyao took out another stack of silver notes from her sleeve pocket, picked and chose the smallest denomination, fifty taels.

"I gave Zhaoping the money last time, but I won't give it to him this time. After all, I just came down from the mountain not long ago, and I'm not exactly flush with cash," Ji Fengyao said, holding up the silver note and blinking her big eyes with a sincere yet pained expression.

Princess Zhaoping felt ashamed and embarrassed when she remembered the fifty taels of silver she had received as a reward last time.

Princess Shang Chuyue was so angry she almost exploded on the spot: "Fifty taels? Are you trying to fetch a beggar? I have nothing to lose, why would I want your fifty taels of silver! You shameless bandit, get off my Ninth Imperial Uncle! Your behavior is like that of a brothel, vulgar and despicable!"

Ji Fengyao clicked her tongue and shook her head. What a princess! Where did she learn all this foul language?

Eunuch De's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and Lianxin stepped forward and whispered, "Oh dear, my little ancestor, you are of noble birth, how could you say such things? Be careful to be punished by the Empress later!"
