Gao glanced at Jin sitting opposite her and felt very annoyed. From the first day Jin entered the house, Gao disliked this bright and beautiful new princess.
Seeing Jin Shi dressed so brightly and coming to pay her respects at this time, Gao Shi couldn't help but think that she must have ill intentions. This Jin Shi was a vixen. Even when the prince was not in the mansion, she dressed up in a flamboyant manner, just to win the prince's favor and affection.
However, Gao would never say these words aloud, for she would be accused of being jealous and damaging Xin Rao's reputation. If the prince found out, he would definitely be dissatisfied with her.
"Why have you come to this main courtyard today?" Mingyu picked up the tea on the table, took a small sip, and asked.
"I feel a little guilty that I haven't paid my respects to my wife for a long time, since I've been relying on her for everything in the household."
"Today, I brought some red ginseng for you, my lady. Red ginseng is very nourishing, and it's best to eat it in advance. It's of no use to me, so I'm offering it to you."
Seeing how much Jin was trying to please Mingyu, Gao Shi, who was standing to the side, did not want to stay any longer. So she said to Mingyu, "Fujin, I have finished reporting my business. I will take my leave now."
Mingyu didn't think much of it and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll trouble you to take care of things now. You can go now."
"Thank you, Madam." After saying this, Madam Gao got up and left, glancing at Madam Jin as she went.
After Gao left, Jin looked at the head of the household and said to Ri Mingyu, "The Princess Consort's complexion has been quite good these past few days."
Mingyu smiled upon hearing this. Today, Jin had come to pay her respects and even brought red ginseng. How could Mingyu not know that Jin was trying to please her? So Mingyu slowly asked, "Are you used to living in this Prince's mansion? Are you not used to the food?"
"I'm quite used to it, and the food in this mansion is excellent," Jin said, nodding.
"That's good. If you feel unwell, just come to the main courtyard to find me."
"Thank you, Madam." Hearing this, Madam Jin was very happy. After all, her purpose in coming today was to have more contact with Mingyu in the future, so that she would have the opportunity to see the Prince. Although the Prince did not go to their courtyard, he would definitely come to the main courtyard.
So, Jin happily chatted with Mingyu for a few moments before coming out herself. After all, winning Mingyu's favor wasn't something that could be done overnight, and there was no need to rush things today.
Unexpectedly, before Jin could even return to her courtyard, she saw Gao waiting for her outside as soon as she stepped out of the main courtyard.
"May you be well, sister." Jin hurriedly stepped forward to greet Gao.
Since there were many people coming and going here, Gao Shi couldn't be too obvious, so she waved her hand to let Jin Shi get up and said sarcastically, "How have you been these past two weeks, sister? This prince is really something, it's been so long and he hasn't even gone to visit the new princess's courtyard."
Upon hearing Gao's words, Jin felt a surge of anger. She wanted to retaliate, but as a newcomer, she had not yet gained the prince's favor and had no one to rely on in the mansion.
Moreover, she needed to curry favor with the Fujin (principal wife), and Gao was one of the Fujin's people, so she absolutely could not offend Gao. Therefore, she could only suppress her anger and pretend not to understand, saying, "It is normal that the Prince has been busy with state affairs these days and has not come to the courtyard."
