Following Jiang Yuanying's gaze, some ladies who were surrounding Jiang Yuanying to appreciate the flowers also saw Jiang Yi.
Previously, rumors about the child being switched in the Marquis' Mansion were widely circulated. People had only heard of Jiang Yi but had rarely seen him.
Naturally, he was very curious about Jiang Yi.
When I saw Jiang Yi today, I was particularly surprised for a moment.
But they quickly averted their gazes, thinking about Jiang Yuanying's mocking look. One of them, a girl named Wang who was closest to Jiang Yuanying, asked, "Yuanying, who is that? How come I've never seen her before?"
"This is my fourth sister." Jiang Yuanying explained to them.
"Oh." Everyone seemed to suddenly understand after hearing this.
Miss Wang was even more astonished, saying, "So this is Miss Jiang Si, the one who dared to cancel the royal marriage. No wonder. She comes from a small place and doesn't know the seriousness of the matter. I'm afraid her life is over."
"Not as good as Yuanying."
"Some people are just like that. If it's destined for you, it will happen. If it's not, don't force it. Even if you give her a chance, she may not be able to seize it. In the end, it's better for her to stay where she is. At least she won't offend the royal family."
"It's only because the Marquis' Mansion can protect her, otherwise..."
This was said by Jiang Yuanying.
Everyone agreed after hearing this.
Jiang Yuanying added, "But don't worry, Fourth Sister. I will definitely help you in the future."
"Sister, are you going out? Where are you going?"
"Let's not do it. It's fine to embarrass yourself at home, but if you do it outside, you'll completely disgrace our mansion."
"That's right."
Jiang Yi stood there from beginning to end, her lowered eyelids hiding all the emotions in her eyes. After everyone finished speaking, she raised her eyes, her beautiful face full of light. Her clear eyes moved around among the people for a few times, with a smile that was not a smile, "I'm afraid I can't. The emperor has summoned me to the palace, so I have no choice but to refuse Third Sister's kindness."
"What did you say? Why did the emperor summon you to the palace?" Jiang Yuanying hadn't noticed anything was wrong yet. "Oh, the emperor must be holding you accountable."
A sigh of relief came from behind her, and Yu Shu stood up. "How dare you be so disrespectful to the First Rank Princess personally appointed by the Emperor?"
One of them, who had seen Yu Shu before, whispered, "This seems to be the eunuch Yu who serves the emperor."
As everyone knows, the emperor has a eunuch named Yu who is always by his side. Eunuch Yu is not only a eunuch, he also manages the imperial guards for the emperor and is deeply trusted by the emperor.
At this moment, everyone's faces turned pale when they heard this.
Naturally, they forgot that Jiang Yi was conferred the title of princess.
Jiang Yuanying had been too proud these days and had forgotten about it.
Even if they remembered, they felt that Jiang Yi had displeased the royal family, and they were afraid that the reward would be taken back at any time.
But Yu Shu beside the emperor was obviously protecting Jiang Yi. Yu Shu was naturally acting according to the emperor's wishes. Doesn't that mean that the emperor had no dissatisfaction with Jiang Si Girl because of her breaking off the engagement?
Even the emperor still favored Jiang Yi.
Although they didn't understand why, the result was obvious.
For a moment, the expressions of those who had just mocked Jiang Yi were not very good, especially Miss Wang.
One of them took the lead and stepped forward to bow to Jiang Yi, "Greetings to Princess Changning."
The others also bowed.
Facing Jiang Yi's gaze, they felt quite embarrassed.
Miss Wang, in particular, seemed to be looking for a sense of security, so she hid behind Jiang Yuanying.
Jiang Yuanying did not salute. She deliberately raised her head, unwilling to admit defeat.
Even if Jiang Yi did not offend the royal family as she wished, she was about to become Prince Gong's concubine.
Not much worse than Jiang Yi.
Besides, when Prince Gong ascends the throne in the future, Jiang Yi will not end up well.
Jiang Yi's gaze finally fell on Jiang Yuanying.
"Third sister?"
Jiang Yi called Jiang Yuanying casually.
Jiang Yuanying's heart tightened. She didn't want to be outdone by Jiang Yi in front of others, so she asked, "Since the Emperor has summoned Fourth Sister to the palace, why don't you hurry over to avoid delaying the Emperor's important business?"
"Third sister." Jiang Yi's tone suddenly became serious. "Third sister is about to become the concubine of Prince Gong. I didn't expect that she still doesn't know the rules. I'm afraid she needs to be taught a lesson."
"If she really can't learn well, we can't let her get in the way of Prince Gong."
Jiang Yuanying immediately wanted to refute.
Why does she say that about her?
However, Yu Shu spoke up at this time, "The Emperor also means this. Princess, please do this. I will first invite a nanny from the palace to teach Miss Jiang San. If she learns well, I will let her enter the Prince's Mansion. If she doesn't learn well, she can stay in the Marquis' Mansion. We can't just pick someone who is not presentable just for the sake of a happy marriage."
"After all, there are many people who want to bring good luck to Prince Gong, not just Miss Jiang San."
Jiang Yisui nodded, "That's a good idea."
She didn't say anything else and led Yu Shu out.
At this moment, Jiang Yuanying suddenly called out to Jiang Yi, "Princess Changning..."
Jiang Yi pretended not to have heard it.
Jiang Yuanying gritted her teeth upon seeing this and knelt down in front of Jiang Yi. "Your servant pays respects to Princess Changning."
But Jiang Yi still didn't even give Jiang Yuanying a glance.
Seeing Jiang Yi gradually walking away, Jiang Yuanying's legs suddenly went weak and he fell to the ground.
She bit her lower lip tightly, feeling that today was extremely embarrassing.
She originally wanted to gather everyone together and give Jiang Yi a good riddance, but she never expected that she would be the one who got embarrassed in the end.
Now, everyone knows that Jiang Yi can decide whether to make her a concubine with just one word.
Jiang Yuanying didn't dare to look up to see everyone's expressions.
The people who were surrounding Jiang Yuanying before also said immediately: "Yuanying, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home."
"I have some things going on at home too."
They all dispersed, fearing that having any connection with Jiang Yuanying would have a bad impact on them.
Even Miss Wang, who used to be Jiang Yuanying's closest friend, couldn't help but complain, "Why didn't you tell us that the Emperor actually valued Princess Changning so much? I ended up offending Princess Changning because of you."
Jiang Yuanying was also in a bad mood. She immediately said, "Because of me? Didn't you want to show off in front of me yourself?"
Miss Wang was so angry at her words that she almost cried, "You, how could you do this? I'm doing this for you."
"It's no wonder Prince Gong never said a word for you before. Even if you become his concubine in the future, I'm afraid he won't like you."
