Chapter 552 Support
As the wedding day draws closer, Xiao Jiuyue, the bride-to-be, gradually becomes less busy. She follows the nanny to learn the rules every day. Even Lianxin and Luokui beside her find it very hard, but Xiao Jiuyue doesn't think so and studies very seriously.
After getting married, she became the consort of the Third Prince. She never thought of being independent, let alone breaking the rules and appearing pure. That would be simply stupid!
She is the eldest daughter of the Xiao family. She can be free in private, but when it comes to big occasions, she will never allow herself to be criticized for any rules!
Xiao Jiuyue's ability to endure hardships without even a hint of complaint or tiredness made the nanny feel relieved and admired. You know, Nanny Fang who went to the Du Mansion, that Miss Du, was either complaining about being tired or suffering, or being lazy every day.
Compared with Miss Du, it is really great to teach Xiao Jiuyue the rules. Miss Xiao understands things quickly and there is no need to worry at all.
When the Queen Mother heard the two maids' report, her expression remained unchanged as she said, "Thank you for your hard work, maids."
"Grandmother, I said that Sister Xiao is the best and has a good temper. She must love Third Brother very much, so she is willing to do this." Although the Sixth Princess was detained in the palace, she was well aware of the news outside.
"I heard that Du Ting was not feeling well a few days ago, so he might not have learned well." The Fifth Princess thought about her life-threatening friendship with Du Ting and made a special explanation.
"Fifth sister, Sister Xiao was seriously ill a while ago, but she never complained about the hardship or fatigue, did she?" The Sixth Princess tilted her head and retorted, "Fifth sister, when we were learning the rules, I don't need to tell you how strict the two maids were, right?"
"When we are not feeling well, the nanny will never force us to learn, unless we are pretending..." The Sixth Princess looked at her dimly, as if to say that Du Ting was just pretending to be unwell, or was just being lazy.
"Sixth sister, you are too biased." The fifth princess frowned and said, "You think everything Miss Xiao does is good."
"Of course, Sister Xiao is my role model." The Sixth Princess mentioned Xiao Jiuyue, and the pride on her face left the Fifth Princess speechless. "Didn't she just beat Princess Mu Xi once? Did I beat her too?"
"She even cured me." The Sixth Princess retorted, "Hunting! The women of Yongzhao are good at hunting! Sister Xiao can still win!"
"If something hadn't happened later, I think their achievements would definitely be more than this."
"Also, her cooking is so delicious that even the emperor gave her a reward."
The Sixth Princess continued, speaking with great clarity, "Didn't Du Ting and Feng Yan get along very well? Now they haven't even met. Who knows if there's something fishy going on?"
The Sixth Princess is a straightforward person. She has to say whatever she wants to say, otherwise she will feel uncomfortable if she keeps it in her heart.
"Sixth sister." The fifth princess scolded.
"I'm not wrong?"
The Sixth Princess pursed her lips in disbelief. She looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Grandmother."
"You two sisters, you'd better go back and talk it out. I'm old and I don't want to talk to you little girls anymore." The Queen Mother said with a smile. The girl who was stupid and had a lot of money was indeed a good girl as she imagined.
"Grandma, you are not old at all." Upon hearing this, the Sixth Princess immediately took the Queen Mother's arm coquettishly and praised her in various ways, making her very happy.
The fifth princess watching this scene on the side curled her lips: flatterer.
I have to admit that when Sixth Sister acts coquettishly, she is as soft as a marshmallow, and her mouth looks like it is covered with honey. She... really can't learn it.
"Grandma, after Miss Xiao gets married, can I go visit her later?" The Sixth Princess asked with a smile, saying, "Miss Xiao's cooking is delicious."
"How can a princess cook for a banquet?" The Queen Mother smiled at her and said, "However, if your body can bear it, it would be nice to get closer to your third sister-in-law."
"Thank you, grandma. You are truly the best grandma in the world." The Sixth Princess hugged the Queen Mother, her happy little face smiling like a flower, making the Queen Mother very happy.
…
"Miss, Miss, I just heard some great news!" Luo Kui ran into the room excitedly and said excitedly, "Miss, the Third Prince is so amazing!"
"Hmm? What did he do?" Xiao Jiuyue put down the letter in her hand. Ever since they were getting married, Jun Lie had sent her a letter every day. Each letter contained no lingering love words, but simply told her what had been renovated in the palace, where new flowers had been planted, and what kind of fish were being raised in the pond...
Words like these made Xiao Jiuyue even more excited. He was decorating their future home bit by bit with great care.
Didn’t she just say yesterday that she had planted her favorite roses in the yard? Not only do they bloom every month, but they are also not too delicate.
"Didn't those people earlier bet on when the Third Prince would divorce his wife?" Luo Kui spoke rapidly, her face flushed from running all the way into the yard. "The Third Prince bet ten thousand taels, betting he wouldn't divorce his wife!"
"Ten thousand taels of silver! The Third Prince is really supporting the young lady!" Luo Kui was so happy when he heard the news that he couldn't stop grinning. He continued, "I heard that the Third Prince put all his wealth on the bet!"
The corners of Xiao Jiuyue's mouth twitched. It was impossible to reveal all his wealth. However, on the surface, Jun Lie was just the third prince who had no backing, relied on the Rouan clan and had a little money.
Ten thousand taels is not a very eye-catching amount, but it shows his attitude.
Even Luo Kui was shocked. The people of Shengjing, those who were just watching the fun, were probably even more shocked.
In Shengjing's major teahouses, theaters, and streets, people were discussing the Third Prince's act of spending ten thousand taels of silver on the future Third Prince's consort. This was all the talk on the streets.
"Donggui, have you found out who is behind this deal?" Xiao Jiuyue called Donggui out. When she heard the news that day, she felt something was wrong and asked Donggui to investigate.
"I checked, and they're hiding it very well. I was just about to tell you, Miss, that they're a relative of one of Miss Du's maids." Dong Gui had people search for these things, but it took a lot of effort. She said, "Luckily, Jin Wen and the others found some clues, otherwise, we would have missed it."
"Hmm, maybe she wants to embarrass me? If that's the case, why not set up a gambling game and let her be the banker, and see if the Second Prince is willing to part with it."
Xiao Jiuyue's lips curled slightly as she said, "Have it done discreetly, don't let anyone find out. Hmm, it's best to attract more people. This money is easy to make!"
"Miss, let's also bet on whether she will be divorced?" Dong Guiduo asked.
"Yes, we should give them a taste of their own medicine. Both she and I are waiting to be married to the prince's consort, so we should be placed in the bet together." Xiao Jiuyue said with a dim gaze, her eyes flashing with excitement, as if she saw countless silver jumping into her pocket.
