The attendants were just eunuchs who had entered the palace since childhood. They could only serve people and were no match for Ji Yunhuan's whip.
When the whip came, they naturally dodged backwards, so all the enamel porcelain on the table was broken.
The servants and palace maids knelt on the ground. Princess Rong'an completely cast aside her hypocritical face, and acted arrogantly, showing the majesty of a royal princess.
"When this princess lectures you, you should listen attentively. Ji Yunhuan, you are so bold! You spread rumors to confuse the public, and even dare to humiliate this princess! This princess will return to the palace to report to the Empress Dowager, and you will be punished for disrespect."
Madam Xia gave a look and several maids blocked Princess Rong'an's way, standing there respectfully without saying a word.
Princess Rong'an was furious. "What do you mean, Madam? How dare you stop me?"
Old Madam Xia smiled kindly, "I just saw that the princess's clothes were disheveled and a little indecent, so I wanted to ask my personal maid to help her wash up."
"If the princess leaves the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion like this, wouldn't it appear that we haven't treated our guests well? If the Empress Dowager knew about this, she'd probably misunderstand that there's a rift between us."
Princess Rong'an suddenly calmed down.
Although the Queen Mother loved her, she would never neglect her own cause for her.
Winning over the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was something the Empress Dowager had been thinking about day and night. She took the initiative to help the Empress Dowager solve her problems and condescended to come and celebrate the birthday of an old lady, just to please the Empress Dowager.
The longevity peach picture has been hung in the mansion of Marquis Zhongyong. No matter what Marquis Zhongyong thinks, the gift has been sent out, and she can also explain to the Queen Mother.
If the empress dowager knew that she had offended Old Madam Xia, she would definitely blame her for being ignorant. The empress dowager has so many granddaughters, and she doesn't have to love her alone.
Ji Yunhuan tugged at the old lady's sleeve and pretended to murmur, "Old lady, why are you afraid of her? She's just a princess with no real power. Even if she has the Queen Mother's support, she can't control what happens outside the palace."
"My father is the Prime Minister. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't dare to do anything to me. I'm not afraid of a mere princess!"
Ji Yunhuan raised his head proudly, showing the face of a smug villain to the fullest!
Princess Rong'an hated Ji Yunhuan very much, but she didn't dare to get angry again.
Now the Crown Prince is in a fierce relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Crown Prince's reputation is extremely high, and the Queen Mother is in a weak position. She can only plot in secret. On the surface, there is still a filial and harmonious scene between the grandfather and grandson.
Everyone knows that Prime Minister Ji favors his legitimate wife. If she offends the Prime Minister's Mansion again, the Empress Dowager will probably not protect her. She may even punish her to curry favor with the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Princess Rong'an felt cold all over, and a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on her back.
Although she seems to be living a glamorous life as a princess, she is actually just living at the mercy of others. The halo and reputation she has are the foundation of her life.
The emperor didn't care about the relationship between brother and sister at all. Her mother, Princess Ruihua, was just a princess in name only. She had no fiefdom and had no say in the capital.
However, Ji Yunhuan has a father who is a prime minister and holds real power, a mother who is a wealthy businesswoman, and two older brothers to rely on.
Princess Rong'an stood there, allowing several maids from the marquis's mansion to tidy up her messy hair and clothes. After a while, she finally regained her composure and became the gentle and quiet woman again.
"Thank you, old lady. The servants Rong An brought here are not up to par and have made you laugh."
The eunuch had already collected the broken porcelain pieces on the table. Even if something made within the palace was destroyed, it could not be thrown away casually.
The palace maid nervously followed Princess Rong'an, standing aside with her hands hanging down, even breathing very quietly, for fear of displeasing the princess.
Madam Xia glared at Ji Yunhuan and said in feigned anger, "Don't talk nonsense! You're so careless with your words, and you still think you haven't caused enough trouble!"
Ji Yunhuan shut up obediently and winked at Princess Rong'an, looking quite proud.
Old Madam Xia personally led Princess Rong'an to her seat, giving Princess Rong'an enough face.
A set of enamel porcelain has been placed on the table. Compared with the elegant and beautiful pastel porcelain, enamel porcelain is more colorful and gorgeous. A small teacup is covered with hundreds of flowers blooming in a riot of color.
"This set of porcelain was a gift from His Majesty, and it was made within the palace. I am old now, and I don't have much use for these fine things. Your Highness is both talented and beautiful, and only she deserves such fine porcelain."
Princess Rong'an couldn't move her eyes away.
The items made within the palace were also divided into grades. The Imperial Household Department naturally currying favor with the emperor, so the items around the emperor were the best, and even the items given to others casually were rare treasures.
She coughed modestly and said, "Since it belongs to the palace, I will give it a try."
The palace maid poured tea for the princess and placed exquisite pastries on the plate. Princess Rong'an reached out to take the glittering enamel porcelain cup and felt that the tea in the cup became particularly sweet.
"Good tea, it leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth. This princess likes it very much."
