Chapter 216 Arrogance
The Dragon Boat Festival has passed in a lively atmosphere, and the Cuju team that Yu'er plays for won first place.
I heard that the reward money was Murong Wan'er's private savings.
The winner showered the princess with compliments, praising her beauty and kindness, while the loser secretly vowed to win next year.
"Oh dear, what wind blew our Madam Lin out the door?"
In the back garden of Prince Jing's mansion, Lin Suyi went out for some fresh air and was surprised to find that the other ladies were there.
He immediately launched into a sarcastic remark.
Lin Suying's expression was calm. "The prince is not in the manor. I hope to keep to myself and my sisters. There is no enmity between us."
"It's nice to say 'keeping to ourselves,' but the women in the inner quarters are naturally in competition. You've won the prince's favor, so of course you can say that." Madam Qing blew on her fingernails.
These women were nominally the wives of King Jing, but in reality, many of them had never even gotten close to him.
Lady Qing only had one chance with the Emperor, and gave birth to a daughter. After that, the Emperor never allowed her to serve him again.
As for the other women, Lady Qing didn't know, but she did know that Prince Jing hadn't entered the inner courtyard for a long time.
If King Jing were ugly, it would be one thing, but he was handsome and rich.
If he truly had homosexual tendencies and didn't like women, that would be one thing.
But there was one exception!
What an exception! She is so beautiful and stands out from the crowd, how could they be content with that?
Seeing Lin Suyi makes me want to grit my teeth.
“I have no children, and I may never have any in the future. I pose no threat to you, so why are you still holding me back?”
Lin Suying stood there, her gaze calm, commanding respect.
"As for the rest, if you have the ability, then let them fight it out. If you don't, why bother getting angry at me?"
This infuriated all the ladies.
Lin Suyi was telling the truth, but to them it was a demonstration.
Arrogant! Absolutely arrogant!
"Hmph, what's there to be proud of? Using one's looks to please others will only lead to a loss of favor once beauty fades." Madam Zhao looked at Lin Suying's face and really wanted to destroy it.
Lin Suying said calmly, "Then please wait for the day when my beauty fades and my love wanes."
"you……"
Madam Zhao was so angry that her face changed color. Just as she was about to speak, Lin Suying turned and left.
"Madam, I didn't expect you to be so capable. The ladies were clearly intimidated by you just now," the maid Duoduo said happily.
Those people who were trying to trip up the lady really thought she had no temper.
She and Shao Shao were maids assigned by Prince Jing to serve Lady Lin.
During the days that King Jing was away, those people made things difficult for him both openly and secretly.
"Actually, I'm not smart at all. I learned this from others." Lin Suyi thought of the person she was thinking about.
"Have you received all the items sent from the Lin residence yesterday?"
"I've put it away," Duoduo replied.
"That Shen Pi later made things difficult for... Madam Lin?"
"He wouldn't dare." Duoduo asked curiously, "Madam, why are you so interested in the Lin family...?"
The lady seems to be paying too much attention to this Mrs. Lin, even going so far as to help resolve such matters in advance.
Lin Suying looked at the clouds in the sky. "We all have the surname Lin, and she works for the prince. Of course, we should protect her when we can."
"Perhaps it's because I don't have any relatives here, so hearing someone with the surname Lin makes me feel a sense of kinship."
Duoduo felt heartbroken looking at his wife.
"Madam, where shall we go next?"
...
...
"Sanya, where are you going today? Did you practice your calligraphy?"
Er Ya saw San Ya sneaking out and grabbed her.
Sanya looked around and whispered, "Second sister, please don't worry about me, okay? I'll definitely finish writing when I get back. I've already made plans to play soccer with my friends, and I can't be a person who breaks their promise."
After saying that, it turned around and ran away like a slippery fish, and Er Ya couldn't catch it.
"I'm really fed up. She wasn't like this before. Now she's always running around outside. Is she really planning to become a boy?" Er Ya stamped her foot while holding her pen.
"Why do you care what she does? I think it's fine this way. My sister and I are both staying at home and not going out. It's normal for Sanya to like going out, isn't it?"
As Da Ya spoke, she kept writing.
Her calligraphy already possessed a certain elegance; among the three sisters, her calligraphy was the best, and she loved reading the most, almost as if she had inherited the true essence of the old man's calligraphy.
Er Ya can barely write pretty characters; she lacks any style or spirit, she just writes them beautifully.
As for Sanya, her handwriting is huge, but she's quite interested in martial arts. Now she's getting stronger and stronger, and she looks like a tomboy when she wears men's clothes.
Tomboy Sanya came to the place from yesterday.
He Rui and Lao He were just about to go out for a walk when they saw Sanya.
"Why are you here again?" He Rui frowned.
Sanya clicked her tongue. "Is this your house? Can't I come?"
"Besides, I didn't come here to see you."
"Grandpa, here you go." Sanya handed over the paper package in her hand.
It's piping hot, and inside are two fresh roasted sweet potatoes.
Old He glanced at her and immediately understood. "You were worried that I would lose my money and not have anything to eat, so you specially brought it to me? What a kind-hearted child."
“Being a Taoist priest isn’t easy either. My family has plenty of sweet potatoes, you can eat more,” Sanya said earnestly.
These two weren't taken from home; they were given to me by other friends.
The old woman was quite old, and she wasn't wronged.
Sanya had some spare change and originally planned to buy two steamed buns, but someone gave her sweet potatoes instead, so she brought the sweet potatoes with her.
Old He took a bite; it was sweet, soft, and delicious.
This is something that even wealthy families in the capital can now afford. He's tried it before, but it's nowhere near as delicious as the one in his hand.
However, he remembered that one of the crimes committed by Prince Jing was failing to report the sweet potato.
I heard that eating too much of this stuff...
"Master, can I have one?" He Rui looked at him expectantly.
Boys grow quickly and get hungry soon; he had been hungry for a while.
Smelling it up close right now makes me so hungry.
Old He looked up and saw that Sanya had already left sometime earlier. He handed one to He Rui, saying, "Here you go."
He Rui picked it up and started eating.
The two quickly finished their sweet potatoes, and Old He said, "I originally thought that Ganzhou had a bad climate, that nothing would grow there, and that the people would suffer. I didn't expect it to be so lively after I arrived."
This was quite unexpected for him.
He Rui washed his slightly dirty fingers. "Master, we should go and see other places. We can't assume all places are good just because this place is good."
Even in the bustling capital, people still freeze and starve to death, don't they?
"Do I need you to teach me? You can't even keep an eye on a money bag, so go and exchange some silver today!"
"Master, this isn't my fault, it's that thief's fault!"
The two walked and talked.
