Chapter 38: A nice pot of tea



When it came to proposing to go out and play, Jiang Chen was the only one who excitedly and proactively mentioned it.

Jiang Qingqing originally wanted to agree, but looking at Princess Qi Yang's arrogant look, she pursed her lips and said nothing.

As expected, as soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, Princess Qi Yang took the initiative to continue.

"I have some connection with the owner of Fanlou in the past. If you want to go to Fanlou to have a look, I can take you to broaden your horizons!"

There was something harsh about what she said.

Jiang Qingqing couldn't help but frowned.

[I'm sorry, this is the first time in my life that I want to be a shovel-wielding nitpicker.]

"My princess, you've been away from Kyoto for so many years, how could you still know the owner of Fanlou? What if, what if the owner has changed, or if Fanlou has been rented out to someone else, can you still say this with such confidence?"

The little girl in Xiao Linting's arms moved a little so that he could prepare for a verbal battle.

The familiar hedgehog in full bloom.

The last time I saw the little fellow like this was when Han Qingyi, a hostage from the Li Kingdom, came to my house and pretended to be weak.

What did the kids say back then?

Rich tea aroma?

Princess Qi Yang probably didn't expect Jiang Qingqing to take the initiative to talk to her. She took a while to react before she started to make excuses for herself.

"When I was still in Kyoto, I often went to Fanlou with a few sisters from Kyoto to sit for a while. Even though the shopkeeper has changed, I have heard of my status and position!"

She spoke proudly and calmly, as if everyone in Kyoto must know this Princess Qi Yang.

Jiang Qingqing chuckled and looked up and down at Princess Qi Yang's slender figure.

The childish voice seemed to have a few more teasing notes, "My princess is so majestic, but I wonder if your friends in Kyoto still remember you after five years."

Others thought that it was just the words of a five-year-old child, so they just smiled and said nothing.

However, after listening to Jiang Qingqing's remarks, Xiao Linting felt more and more that the five-year-old princess was not as innocent as she seemed.

Princess Qi Yang never expected that Jiang Qingqing would be so aggressive towards her. She immediately raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Qingqing coldly, ready to vent her anger on her status as an elder.

Just as she was about to speak, the eldest prince, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up to interrupt the verbal dispute.

"Since we are traveling incognito, we can't use the title of Your Highness to show our status. How should we address him to the public?"

The calm remarks silently diverted the fireworks.

Princess Qi Yang looked at the five-year-old girl unwillingly and snorted coldly.

Jiang Qingqing knew very well that chatting with such an arrogant person would be the most upsetting, and the best way was to keep her mind calm by turning her eyes away, so she simply turned her head to look at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was a man of thick nerves. He touched his smooth jaw and said thoughtfully, "How about we try something new?"

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes turned towards him.

Jiang Chen felt the cold gaze of his uncle and shrank his neck guiltily.

On the other hand, Princess Qi Yang's face turned from sunny to cloudy, and she reversed her unwilling expression. She clapped her hands, her eyes bright.

Princess Qiyang said happily: "How about this, my uncle and I can be brother and sister, and you can be our brother and sister, how do you think?"

[What? You have the nerve to ask such a rhetorical question, it's hilarious, I can see clearly your tricks to win over the emperor's uncle! If it weren't for the moral principles, you would have thought of marrying the emperor's uncle, right?! ]

Jiang Qingqing's tender red lips pursed slightly. She glanced at Princess Qi Yang suddenly, and the mockery in her heart was sharp.

Xiao Linting had no intention of stopping the children from playing together, and during this rare day off, he had no intention of acting like an elder in the palace.

This is also the reason why Jiang Chen dared to take the initiative to propose outing today.

The boy was good at reading people's expressions and saw through Xiao Linting's thoughts early on, so he was eager to try and make a fuss about going out to play.

The eldest prince frowned slightly. He did not agree with what Princess Qi Yang said, but the upbringing given by Empress Xu did not allow him to casually deny other people's ideas. He just frowned and stood aside.

The second prince was neither interested nor concerned about these things.

Jiang Chen became dissatisfied immediately after hearing this.

"Why? Since he's going on a secret tour, why should I still be his younger brother?" Jiang Chen slapped his thigh in dissatisfaction.

Princess Qi Yang saw that Jiang Chen was not satisfied with her arrangement. She glanced at him and said, "I think this arrangement is very appropriate. If you are not satisfied, then you should leave us alone and stop pretending to know us outside!"

"No, before we left the palace, the Imperial Concubine told us to travel together and not to be alone. Princess, you are not listening to the Imperial Concubine! If you do this, I will go back and tell the Imperial Concubine!"

Jiang Qingqing opened her mouth immediately, holding an invisible lever in her hands, wishing she could lift Princess Qi Yang up to the sky.

For Princess Qi Yang, what happened that day was probably the first time in her fifteen-year career that she was denied and questioned the most times.

She, who had been spoiled like a half princess by the Queen Mother in the past, immediately had rebellious thoughts towards the five-year-old kid.

"Since you want to confuse our identities, I should say that I am the one who should call the emperor's uncle brother. Princess, you are dressed so maturely today, looking like a woman. How about this, I will call you auntie."

Jiang Qingqing has a beautiful face with a bright and innocent smile, and her naive and tender voice has the sweetness that only a girl should have.

She is Xiao Linting's sister, but she has to call Princess Qi Yang aunt.

The chaotic relationship between them——

"Pfft - hahaha." Jiang Chen figured out the relationship here and thought of Princess Qi Yang's little schemes. He couldn't hold back the joy in his heart and laughed out loud.

Princess Qi Yang's face turned pale as she looked at the innocent little princess with horror.

This was the first time in all her battles that she felt this five-year-old girl was not as easy to deal with as she looked.

"Look at the bun you tied. If two tufts of long hair hadn't been pulled out, I would have thought you had it tied in a high bun for your wedding." Jiang Qingqing pointed at Princess Qi Yang's head and said presumptuously.

[You want to fight me?! Who are you showing off your weird attitude to? When I was being weird to others, you didn't even know where you were!]

The proud and calm voice of a baby sounded in Xiao Linting's mind.

Listen to the baby calmly and directly reveal Princess Qi Yang's little thoughts that cannot be made public.
