The princess played around for a while and was very amused.
Suman was also clapping and praising, and cheering on the spot.
The corners of the princess' mouth were visibly raised, which showed that Suman's flattery this time had hit the mark.
Su Man said sincerely, "The princess is like Mulan in the world, heroic and extraordinary."
The princess scoffed, "What a fuss! These few moves are nothing! I can even do somersaults!"
As he said this, he was about to show it to Suman, a weasel who had never seen the world.
This frightened the maid, who knelt before her and said, "Princess, you can't do that!"
The princess said as if it was a matter of course, "What's the big deal? I can do it. I'm telling you this."
She pointed at the gate and said, "I can climb all the way out from here!"
Suman: Enmmm, I can already imagine the princess rolling on the ground like a Hot Wheels.
She naturally couldn't let the princess be a whirlwind. Not to mention anything else, just the hairpins on the princess's head would be thrown away and turned into hidden weapons.
Su Man quickly stepped forward and advised, "Princess, your headdress today is so gorgeous, you should be careful."
The princess was nonchalant. "These little things are nothing to worry about. My grandmother gave me several boxes."
Su Man choked up, how inhumane he was.
She suddenly thought of something and said casually, "I heard that the Fifth Princess is coming today. If Princess Wang acts too awkwardly, wouldn't the Fifth Princess be embarrassed?"
"Hey! How dare she! How dare she, a pheasant like her, laugh at me!"
Su Man was confused. Pheasant?
Oh, so the vixen isn't that hard to accept.
Coincidentally, someone came from outside and said that the ladies who came to celebrate the princess' birthday were waiting in the flower hall.
When the princess heard that the fifth princess had indeed arrived, she no longer insisted on doing somersaults and rushed out with high spirits.
As a concubine, Su Man was not allowed to chat with the ladies in the flower hall and could only serve outside like the servants.
But when they reached the door, the princess waved her hand and let Suman in.
Su Man initially thought that her birthday gift had been delivered, but when she went in, she realized that the princess wanted her to be her interlocutor when arguing with the fifth princess.
The princess was not good at these sarcastic intrigues. Whenever the fifth princess was muttering indirect criticism, she felt like Sun Wukong listening to Tang Monk chanting the tight-fitting curse.
I have a headache and want to punch someone.
But today she is the host after all, and it is a bit unreasonable to beat the guests.
Thinking about how the Fifth Princess suffered a setback at the hands of Su Man last time, he brought Su Man in and asked her to try again.
Su Man did not disappoint. In a short while, she made the Fifth Princess so angry that she had a headache and felt unwell. She left without even having lunch.
The princess slapped her thigh in joy, "Hahaha, this flowery pheasant is finally gone."
She was in a good mood and looked at Su Man with a much better impression.
The weasel can indeed subdue the pheasant.
...
Near noon, the princess had a birthday banquet accompanied by several other princesses.
After the meal, the princesses with whom he had a mediocre relationship all left, leaving only the sixth princess to stay.
Su Man was serving on the side, ignoring the Sixth Princess's gaze on her.
She had been waiting for Jing Chengyan to come. Logically, since the other female members of the family had left, it was time for him, the prince, to show up.
Could it be that he and the princess have grown tired of each other to this extent?
At the same time, in the prince's yard.
"What do you think of me in this blue shirt?"
Jing Chengyan wore a green robe for Ensheng to see.
Ensheng's eyes were empty and numb, and he could only nod, "Very good, very good, extremely good, you can wear this."
Jing Chengyan lowered his head to take a look and also thought the blue color was good.
But he was still worried and asked again, "How does the blue compare to the moon-white color just now?"
Ensheng was afraid that Jing Chengyan would continue to dawdle, so he said seriously, "Blue, blue looks good."
Jing Chengyan frowned, "How does it compare to silver-gray?"
"blue."
"How does that compare to the azure blue?"
"Cyan, cyan, cyan is the best!"
Jing Chengyan touched his chin and said, "Although you said so, your aesthetic taste is very poor, so blue is excluded."
Eun-sheng: “…”
Jing Chengyan began to rummage through the crowd of brocade clothes again, tossing them around.
He hadn't seen Maner for a long time and needed to show her his best side.
I don't think she'll fall in love with him because of this...
Wait a minute, it was all just wishful thinking, so why doesn't he just let it be?
If Maner hadn't seen her husband for many days and found that he had suddenly changed and showed a side of him she had never seen before, she might fall in love with him at first sight.
Isn't that what's written in the book?
However, most of the unfaithful people are men, and what is surprising is the women.
Today he came to try and see if what was written in the storybook was true.
On the side, Ensheng saw Jing Chengyan hesitating and felt like crying but had no tears.
Why is it more difficult for this prince to go out than for Miss Xiao Cui?
Tsk, the prince is not afraid that he will be noticed by the princess if he dresses too handsomely.
Ensheng urged him three times, but finally he had an idea and said that if the prince didn't go, Aunt Si might leave. This persuaded Jing Chengyan.
-
Jing Chengyan dressed up carefully, and when he appeared in the yard, he was extremely handsome.
The princess forgot to eat the melon seeds in her mouth, and even Su Man raised her eyebrows.
The Sixth Princess said gently, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You look even better now."
Jing Chengyan smiled slightly and faced Su Man with the best angle he had practiced. He placed one hand behind his back, stood upright, and nodded slightly.
"Sixth sister-in-law."
The Sixth Princess smiled and nodded, "Today is my sister-in-law's birthday. Has the prince prepared anything?"
The Sixth Prince's wife and the Sixth Prince and his wife share the same aspirations, so naturally they hope that Jing Chengyan can get along well with the princess, so that the Sixth Prince can worry less.
Although Jing Chengyan's heart wasn't with the princess, he understood the reasoning. However, the smile on his face faded a little. "Thank you, Sixth Sister-in-law, for your consideration. She has indeed prepared some small gifts and has already sent them to the princess's courtyard."
"Haha, I'm too talkative."
The Sixth Princess glanced at Su Man, who was standing by to serve, and said softly, "Good times are rare, so I won't disturb my ninth brother and his wife."
She smiled at Su Man and said, "I wonder if Aunt Si could take me for a walk around the palace. I haven't been here for a long time, and I miss the flowers in the garden of the Ninth Prince's Palace."
Su Man lowered her eyes, "Yes, since the Sixth Princess is so interested, I will accompany her."
The Sixth Princess deliberately sent her away. Needless to say, she was definitely creating an opportunity for Jing Chengyan and the princess to be alone.
On birthday night, Jing Chengyan should at least stay overnight.
When Jing Chengyan heard that Su Man was leaving, he unconsciously took a step towards Su Man, with an anxious look on his face.
But thinking of Su Man's current situation, he had to restrain himself again.
He took a deep breath and said, "Yes, Sixth Sister-in-law."
Just as Su Man was walking towards the Sixth Princess, something unexpected happened.
Qingluan, who was originally following Su Man, took off into the air, spun around, and stabbed the soft blade hidden in her sleeve towards Jing Chengyan.
