Old Lady Xia continued, "That was just a quarrel between girls. It's not a big deal. The princess is having fun with the people and is willing to teach them. It's a blessing for them."
"Today is my birthday banquet. Please give me some respect, Princess. If I leave early, it will hurt the relationship."
Princess Rong'an took advantage of the situation and put on a friendly attitude, "Old Madam Xia is right. This princess will naturally not bother with that scoundrel."
The storm just passed like that.
The rascal Ji Yunhuan was pulled to sit beside Old Madam Xia, feeling rather embarrassed. "Old Madam, thank you for your expense. I will send a set of porcelain over tomorrow. Do you like Western things? Huan'er will pick out a few for you to play with."
Old Madam Xia looked serious, but her words were somewhat affectionate.
"No, no, I don't need this little thing. You are exactly like Yao'er, both of you have a fiery temper. I look at you as if you were my own granddaughter.
"Yao'er, come here. I think only the young lady from the Ji family can control you. In the future, you should learn more from them and learn what to do and what not to do. You should also be more careful."
Seeing how loving her grandmother was to Ji Yunhuan, even letting Ji Yunhuan sit beside her, Xia Mengyao wanted to take out her soft sword and stab a hole in Ji Yunhuan on the spot!
"Grandmother, you only know how to flatter outsiders. What can I learn from her? Should I learn from her arrogance and domineering behavior and not know how to restrain myself? You even paid for the enamel. It's all her fault! Why should we pay for things..."
Xia Mengyao complained a lot, and Ji Yunhuan found it quite funny to see her jumping around.
This kind of personality of saying whatever you want is actually not too bad.
At least he won't harm people secretly.
Ji Yunhuan reached out and pulled Xia Mengyao over, pressing her to sit down next to him. Xia Mengyao was filled with anger, but she couldn't break free from Ji Yunhuan's hand.
The two of them were secretly competing with each other. Ji Yunhuan was very strong and she forced Xia Mengyao to sit beside her and listen to her talk.
"Do you know why I dare to be so unscrupulous?"
Xia Mengyao felt that her shoulder was about to be broken, but she refused to give in. She stepped on Ji Yunhuan with her foot, and was suddenly scratched by something. The pain was so severe that she almost cried.
"Meow meow!" Xizi crawled out from under the table and waved his paw at Xia Mengyao as if in protest.
Xia Mengyao was very angry. As expected, people are like their cats. Ji Yunhuan's cats were particularly annoying!
"Because you're stupid, Ji Yunhuan, don't get complacent. You won't be so lucky every time. Sooner or later, someone will take care of you!"
Ji Yunhuan pinched Xia Mengyao's chin and scolded, "You are the fool! You can't even understand this. You really haven't learned even a fraction of Madam Xia's wisdom."
"You...let me go!" Xia Mengyao was embarrassed and angry, her face turned red with anger.
Ji Yunhuan held down Xia Mengyao's hand as she was trying to untie the soft sword, and gently bent it. Xia Mengyao broke out in a sweat from the pain, but she didn't cry out.
Ji Yunhuan raised an eyebrow. "Oh, you're quite tough. For Old Madam Xia's sake, I'll teach you a lesson. You have to listen even if you don't want to."
"This world is too harsh on women, but as long as the noble ladies in the capital have a clear mind, they won't have a bad life. The key is to figure out what the foundation of your life is."
"Appearance? Family background? Gold and silver dowry? Or perhaps the ability to manage a household, talent in business, or even just giving birth to an outstanding child, it would be considered one's own ability."
"No matter how bad my reputation is, as long as the Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't fall, I will still be free and at ease. Therefore, I will definitely do my best to help my father and brother. As for Princess Rong'an..."
Ji Yunhuan smiled contemptuously, lowered his voice, and whispered in Xia Mengyao's ear:
"Princess Rong'an is a meticulous woman. She has served the Empress Dowager since she was a child. She is timid and cautious to an extreme. Moreover, she admires splendor and wealth. With a little intimidation and some favors, she won't be able to cause any trouble."
Xia Mengyao was so engrossed in listening that she didn't even notice that Ji Yunhuan had let go of her hand. The two of them were very close and looked quite intimate, as if they were whispering.
"You and I are the same. The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery holds you as his only precious jewel, and so the entire capital pampers you, making you self-righteous and ignorant! Do you even know what it means to cut your own flesh to feed the tiger? Do you intend to bring ruin to the entire Marquisate?"
