Jiang Qingqing was looking at the construction of the princess's mansion all the way. Looking at the white walls and black tiles, she couldn't help but think of the Imperial College, and then she thought of her brother who was abandoned in the palace.
[Why not bring Jiang Chen with you next time? It's pitiful for him to study alone in the Imperial College. He might not be able to answer the geography teacher's questions, and be asked by the ears about the regional characteristics of each region... Oh, the princess's mansion is too deserted, but it's good to have a mansion. When I come of age, I will also build a mansion. ]
A familiar and noisy voice entered Xiao Linting's mind. His mind, which had been quiet all day, was suddenly filled with a childish voice. However, he did not feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, Xiao Linting quite enjoyed such chattering.
They came all the way to the princess' backyard. Jiang Qingqing obediently let go of her hand and sat down opposite Xiao Linting, sitting in a row with Princess Qi Yang.
The eldest princess, who was sitting in the main seat, looked up and carefully observed the little princess's actions. She raised her eyebrows in surprise, picked up a booklet beside her, and said, "Let's continue what we were talking about before."
Princess Qi Yang nodded slightly.
"Although Fanlou's dishes taste good and are popular with the public, they are inevitably a bit too bland. Her Royal Highness the Princess' birthday should be more eye-catching."
This is most likely a discussion about the process of arranging dishes at a banquet.
Jiang Qingqing didn't know much about the situation in Tianqi Kyoto, and she happened to be able to listen to them discussing the arrangements for the banquet, and thus indirectly learn about Tianqi.
Mo Yue's topic was about the banquet, and the eldest princess, who had spoken very little just now, inevitably started talking more.
She and Princess Qi Yang discussed their own views and arrangements one after another.
The heated discussion lasted longer and longer, and even Xiao Linting had to speak from time to time to slightly distance the argument between the two people.
"Most of the guests that Your Highness originally planned were young, impetuous children from aristocratic families. If they listened to those operas, they would definitely not be able to listen to them. This would only make the atmosphere more awkward."
Princess Qi Yang spread her hands and expressed her views frankly.
The eldest princess frowned slightly. She pondered for a moment, and her words were not aggressive, but every word was to the point.
"But the banquet itself was organized for my birthday. Can't I follow my own preferences?"
"Then why does Your Highness need to invite these children of noble families? It would be easier and more comfortable to invite some relatives and friends to come and prepare birthday gifts, right?" Princess Qi Yang also frowned and said.
Jiang Qingqing followed her words, her eyes jumping back and forth between the eldest princess and Princess Qi Yang.
Is this a quarrel or a discussion?
For a moment she could not fathom the significance of this discussion.
So, while the two were arguing fiercely, Jiang Qingqing got off the chair, walked to the door and asked the maid guarding the door to come closer.
She whispered something in the maid's ear, and the maid nodded and turned to go and get the food.
The battlefield here is still very intense, and has even reached the point where everyone is frantically trying to dismantle the other side's plans and invalidate their claims.
While Jiang Qingqing was standing at the door waiting for the maid to come back, she overheard their argument while killing time.
His eyes met with the emperor's uncle's for a moment.
The maid acted quickly and decisively. Jiang Qingqing took the initiative to take the plate, but the maid was reluctant to give it to her.
"Okay, there's nothing for you to do here, get off."
Jiang Qingqing frowned and gently scolded.
The maid looked at the little princess holding two cups of tea cautiously with concern, and stood there without moving.
Here, Jiang Qingqing perfectly took back the ownership of the plate, then turned around and walked towards the main seat.
Seeing this walk, Xiao Linting's heart skipped a beat, and he stood up suddenly.
It finally attracted the attention of the eldest princess and Princess Qi Yang, and at least the quarrel stopped.
"Have some tea, have some tea," Jiang Qingqing first placed the tray next to Princess Qi Yang's hand.
Princess Qi Yang was quick to help Jiang Qingqing pick up a cup.
"That's right, this cup is yours." Jiang Qingqing's crisp voice was decisive and pleasant.
Sweep away the gloomy atmosphere just now.
Then, she picked up another cup of tea, walked to the main seat, and said softly, "Aunt, have some tea to moisten your throat. Do you like sweet food?"
The princess was a little confused by the question without any reason, but she knew not to delay Jiang Qingqing and said, "I like sweets quite a lot."
Jiang Qingqing nodded in understanding. She turned around and walked all the way to Princess Qi Yang and asked her the same question.
“I don’t really eat sweets.”
The news obtained was exactly what Jiang Qingqing wanted.
Her smile became brighter, and she saw the little girl holding a piece of candy and handing it to the eldest princess.
Facing the eldest princess's bewildered expression, Jiang Qingqing began to explain.
"The Imperial Aunt likes sweet tea, while Cousin Qi Yang likes unsweetened tea. But Qing Qing only needs to prepare a separate portion of sugar, and both can be satisfied!"
Wake up everyone, you are all rich and powerful families, why do you have to be like a person from a small family and worry about both sides of the same thing!
Jiang Qingqing's seemingly innocent and unintentional words made the princess suddenly enlightened.
The eldest princess, who had previously had a dull expression showing no joy or anger, now looked at her little niece in front of her with a hint of surprise and admiration in her eyes.
This was something the princess had not expected. It was not easy for a five-year-old child to be so open-minded.
She couldn't help but think of the adopted princes chosen by the direct lineage of Marquis Xiping, who were about the same age. She had seen too many children around five to six years old, and none of them was as talented as Princess Dunming.
Princess Qi Yang nodded in understanding. She did not feel jealous. On the contrary, Princess Qi Yang looked at Jiang Qingqing with satisfaction and a gentle smile in her eyes.
This scene happened to be seen by Jiang Qingqing when she turned her head.
Jiang Qingqing: ...The sun rises from the west today? Qi Yang's smile doesn't have any ulterior motives, does she have any evil ideas to mess with me?
"Just as Dun Ming said, let's buy two stages! I don't care what anyone wants to watch!"
The eldest princess waved her sleeves and nailed the last one on the discussion board.
Jiang Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the quarrel was finally over.
While we were discussing the banquet plan, it was already noon.
The eldest princess was satisfied and delighted to meet such an insightful little niece, and she took the initiative to invite the group of people to have lunch at the eldest princess's residence.
Jiang Qingqing relied on her cleverness and good behavior, and with Princess Qi Yang occasionally throwing out some olive branches for Jiang Qingqing to show off her skills, after several attempts, in just half a day, Jiang Qingqing perfectly won the eldest princess's heart.
