Chapter 76: The Princess Behaves First



Jiang Qingqing has been very busy these days, sometimes leaving the palace and sometimes serving as the princess.

She didn't want to move anywhere now, she just wanted to curl up in bed and take a nap.

Xiao Linting nodded slightly to show that he understood, then turned around and told the driver to drive back carefully.

Then, Jiang Qingqing felt the bumps of the carriage as it moved slowly forward. She tilted her head slightly to look at the back of the carriage.

The uncle stood straight with one hand behind his back, motionless, but his deep phoenix eyes were always staring at her carriage.

As the carriage drove away little by little, Jiang Qingqing could still vaguely feel the emperor's uncle's gaze on her outstretched head.

She pursed her lips.

Xiao Linting was quite tactful, knowing to stand there and watch the carriage go. Compared with Jiang Chen, who had already gotten into the carriage and didn't know what to do, the emperor's uncle's behavior was so heartwarming.

When she and Princess Qi Yang returned to the Princess's Mansion, the Princess had already gone for a nap. Jiang Qingqing followed the servants of the Princess's Mansion and came to the side courtyard next door.

Gan Yuan and Gan Lin were already standing at the door of the room waiting for her.

"Your Highness, the inner room has been tidied up. Aunt Xin Juan also packed a bag of dried fruits and books. She said you would like them, and they are also placed on the table." The tall Gan Yuan explained the situation in the house neatly and decisively.

Gan Lin took the oil-paper bag from the little princess and said softly, "The princess specifically instructed us today that we don't need to go to see her at night. She is going to bathe and worship Buddha today, so it's inconvenient to receive her."

Gan Yuan and Gan Lin were so good and decisive in their work that it seemed that she didn't need to worry about anything. The basic procedures had already been laid out and were waiting for her to do.

Jiang Qingqing nodded slightly and praised the two girls for their good work while she strode into the house, her gaze fixed straight ahead of her. The smile on her face was visibly frozen.

The furnishings in this room are almost a one-to-one replica of the furnishings in her bedroom in Huaning Palace, except that the furnishings in the Princess's Mansion look much more subdued than those in Huaning Palace, with fewer fancy utensils and decorations.

"..." In addition to the familiar furnishings, she also saw the bed that could not be more familiar.

Imagine a room filled with mostly unfamiliar furnishings. Although the locations and types are surprisingly similar, it still gives people a sense of unfamiliarity. The only thing that comes across as familiar is the large pear wood bed, which makes Jiang Qingqing feel conflicted.

A familiar environment, but not completely familiar.

"The princess specifically instructed the servants to arrange the furniture according to the Huaning Palace, but there are many items that are not similar in the mansion at the moment, so we can only fill in the gaps with different types. Her Royal Highness the princess also said that when the storehouse is opened tomorrow, these wooden items that are not suitable for a little girl will be replaced."

When Gan Yuan saw His Highness's bewildered and helpless look, she quickly took the initiative to tell him the true situation.

After hearing this, Jiang Qingqing's head hurt even more.

After this operation of leaving the palace, it is estimated that everyone in the capital knows that Tianqi's only little princess was raised to be spoiled and pretentious. When she leaves the palace and stays in the eldest princess's mansion for a few days, she has to move her bed out of the palace, and the room has to be restored one to one.

For no reason, Jiang Qingqing seemed to see two bright labels on top of her head, sticking straight into her head.

Delicate and artificial.

"Puff——" was the sound of the heart breaking.

She climbed up onto the familiar bed and the familiar quilt with her heavy short legs, and lay down on it, drawing out her words lazily.

"I'll take a rest. You guys should take a rest too. You've worked hard."

Gan Lin and Gan Yuan looked at each other, then responded obediently. They tacitly left the house and stood at the door guarding it.

Jiang Qingqing slept like this until the next day.

Jiang Qingqing, who had slept for almost ten hours, stretched with all her might on the bed, wishing she could stretch her whole body.

When Youyou woke up, the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was the familiar carved wooden ceiling of the bed.

In the palace.

Turning her head to look at the dim light in the room, the simple furnishings, and the various precious jewels in Huaning Palace, Jiang Qingqing was in a trance for a moment.

Oh, no, she is not in the palace, she is in the Princess's Mansion.

Thinking about the fact that this bed was moved from the palace to the Princess's Mansion, Jiang Qingqing sighed helplessly again.

She climbed down from the bed and took a few steps forward when Gan Lin, who was guarding the door, heard the noise in the house and hurried in.

"Your Highness, it's only the hour of Yin." The implication is that it's still daybreak, why don't you lie down for a while.

Jiang Qingqing waved her hands. With a nasal voice as if she had just woken up, she said in a daze, "I'm new to the Princess's residence, so I have to act like a junior. Anyway, I'm awake now."

She has to behave well in front of her elders.

Gan Lin and Gan Yuan didn't dare to say anything more. They hurriedly asked someone to light the lights and started to help Jiang Qingqing wash and change clothes.

About half an hour later, Jiang Qingqing stood in the courtyard where the eldest princess was with a refreshed look on her face. She held her two small hands respectfully in front of her belly and lowered her head to look at the patterns on the stone bricks on the ground.

The personal maid who got the news hurried out and saw Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was dressed in pink as usual with two buns shaped like rabbit ears, standing in the yard waiting solemnly.

She couldn't help but quicken her pace.

Jiang Qingqing felt someone coming out, looked over, and happened to meet the eyes of the maid in front of her.

The maid was surprised when she heard the announcement, and now that she saw him in the yard, she couldn't hide her surprise and asked, "Why did your highness come at this hour?"

Jiang Qingqing raised her index finger to her lips and whispered, "Is the Imperial Aunt awake?"

Looking at the considerate and lovely little prince, the maid understood what he meant, and her eyebrows softened immediately. She imitated Jiang Qingqing and spoke in a whisper.

"Madam is still asleep. Your Highness came down too early. Have you had breakfast? I'll go get someone to prepare some food."

Jiang Qingqing grabbed the maid's sleeve, blinked her big, bright eyes, and smiled sweetly.

"I'm here to prepare breakfast for the Royal Aunt!"

Jiang Qingqing also asked the maid when the princess usually woke up and what her habits were after waking up. Seeing that the young prince was sincere in doing this, the maid couldn't refuse his face, so she could only lead the young prince to do all the preparations before the princess woke up.

Of course, it is impossible to let a five-year-old child boil water and cook. He can only stand by and occasionally do some simple and easy tasks to feel involved.

Such an easy job content was exactly what Jiang Qingqing wanted.
