Chapter 184: Vicious Female Supporting Character vs. Childless Emperor 28
Just as Xia Mengyao was about to say something, Old Madam Xia pulled her back and said, "Princess Rong'an is right. Yao'er, go and ask the troupe to sing a different play."
Xia Mengyao went there reluctantly. It was obvious that her grandmother liked this kind of lively plays, but she insisted on changing them to those soft plays that made people drowsy and boring.
The ladies and noble girls present all praised Princess Rong'an and praised her to the skies.
Ji Yun'an sat in a corner, not saying a word, just caressing the quiet and well-behaved Xizi in his arms.
She didn’t come to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery in her previous life, so this was her first time meeting Princess Rong’an.
This princess is not as gentle and modest as she appears. She puts on such a grand show and talks about the inner palace in every sentence. She is more particular than a proper princess, as if she is afraid that others don't know her identity.
When visiting someone else's home, she insisted on bringing things from the palace, as if using common people's things would tarnish her noble bloodline.
Princess Rong'an felt very comfortable being flattered. Her gaze shifted to Ji Yunhuan, and she frowned, feeling quite dissatisfied.
Everyone is praising her, so why is this woman silent? Does she look down on her?
Princess Rong'an raised her hand and pointed at Ji Yunhuan and said, "Whose girl is this? She is so shy. She has been sitting here without saying a word. It can be seen that she has a quiet personality."
A lady covered her mouth and laughed, saying loudly, "What do you mean by demure? Princess, you have a kind temper and you like everyone you see. This is the famous Ji Yunhuan, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She is notoriously arrogant and just waved a whip to teach us a lesson."
Someone else echoed, "In front of the princess, she is very well behaved. It shows that the princess is of noble status and has her own majesty. Even such a wicked person bows his head and dares not act presumptuously."
Princess Rong'an said "Oh" meaningfully. She had heard of Ji Yunhuan's name, but she didn't know that this girl was so beautiful, outshining everyone in the room.
Even I can't compare to her bright and fresh color.
"It turns out to be Miss Ji. I have heard of your name for a long time."
Xizi nestled in Ji Yunhuan's arms and called out to Princess Rong'an a few times.
Actually, Princess Rong'an is his niece. She often goes to the palace to pay her respects to the empress dowager. She has been taught by the empress dowager since she was a child, and her temperament is almost exactly the same as hers.
Therefore, Long Lin particularly disliked Princess Rong'an. Apart from maintaining superficial rewards during festivals, he never saw her.
"Huan'er, be careful, she is not a good person!"
Ji Yunhuan understood what Xizi said. Even if Xizi didn't say it, she could see that Princess Rong'an was not a good person!
As expected, Princess Rong'an spoke up, "Where did this wild cat come from? Cats are the most sinister creatures, and they are not allowed to be kept in the palace. If it attracts something unclean, it will be bad."
Ji Yunhuan touched the back of Xizi's neck to comfort him, and without getting up, he replied carelessly:
"My princess, look carefully. Is there such a clean and beautiful wild cat? This is the cat I raised. It is the most well-behaved and obedient. White cats are the most auspicious and can even bow to send blessings. I brought it here specially to celebrate Old Madam Xia's birthday."
"This loyal and brave mansion is full of righteousness, and the inner house is clean, how could it attract unclean things? Ghosts are not scary, what is scary is the human heart."
Ji Yunhuan picked up Xizi and put him on the table, saying with a smile: "What are you standing there for? Bow quickly."
Xizi felt helpless. He didn't know what kind of evil taste Ji Yunhuan had. He just liked to tease him. The more unwilling he was, the more excited Ji Yunhuan became.
In the end, he always gave in and had to do as he was told.
Xizi stood up, raised his cat paw towards Old Madam Xia, and meowed a few times.
Old Madam Xia was extremely loyal and brave, and she truly deserved his congratulations.
If he were still the emperor, he would definitely send someone to deliver a gift, but he would not come himself. If he came, he would disturb the old lady's birthday.
Old Madam Xia was surprised and couldn't help but smile. "This cat is very human and has been well trained. Please don't be too harsh on it, my lady. It's just a pet."
Princess Rong'an covered her mouth and nose and coughed lightly a few times. The palace maid next to her immediately came forward to wipe the princess' mouth and rinse her mouth, and also washed her hands. She was very particular.
An eunuch stepped forward and said in a shrill voice, "Princess Rong'an is of noble status and should not see these dirty things. Get this beast out now!"
Princess Rong'an looked at Old Madam Xia who was sitting in the main seat with a guilty look on her face. "It's really because my body is not strong enough. I feel uncomfortable when I hear cats and dogs barking in front of me. It's better to drive these unpresentable things out."
This was clearly a veiled attack on someone else. Finally, someone was able to deal with Ji Yunhuan. The ladies and noble girls who had just been frightened by Ji Yunhuan were gloating and were happy to watch the fun.
The play on the stage was really boring, so Ji Yunhuan held Xizi in his arms and decided to chat with the princess for a while, just as a pastime.
She kissed Xizi on the belly and sighed in a feigned sorrow, "The princess cannot survive without the creatures created in the palace, just as I cannot survive without Xizi. The princess is so gentle and kind, she will not watch me die, right?"
The eunuch glared at him and shouted angrily, "How dare you! How dare you talk to the princess? You have no respect for the nobles, I will punish you for the crime of disrespect."
Ji Yunhuan patted his chest and said in shock: "The princess has always been kind and likes to have fun with the people. Don't take advantage of your power to bully others and ruin the princess's reputation."
Princess Rong'an's hands on her knees clenched involuntarily. She showed no anger on her face, but the servants around her knew that the princess was very angry!
The eunuch immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, "That is not what I meant. Princess, please spare my life."
Princess Rong'an took a deep breath and even had a smile on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes and looked grim.
"Get up, this princess doesn't blame you, you are also loyal to the master."
"Miss Ji, you have a great tongue. Grandmother has shown me mercy and granted me this royal item. If I don't use it, I will be letting her down. How can I be compared with you? I have never heard of someone who cannot live without a cat."
Ji Yunhuan hugged Xizi tightly, put his face against Xizi's soft little face, and said unreasonably:
"Everyone has something they love. The princess loves the palace and wealth. Is there anything wrong with me loving a cat? Xizi is my life. No one can separate us."
"If the princess insists on doing so, then kick me out as well. However, the princess is also a guest, and we cannot kick out guests on behalf of the host. That would be too arrogant. The princess is gentle and kind, and she would definitely not do such a disrespectful thing."
Princess Rong'an was so stunned that she was speechless.
She is gentle and kind, but everyone flatters her when she goes out. However, Ji Yunhuan, this shameless person, pretends to be ignorant even though he knows the truth, and actually dares to disobey her!
Xia Mengyao was secretly happy. As soon as Princess Rong'an arrived, she changed the music to the one her grandmother liked. She didn't like Princess Rong'an. Now that Princess Rong'an was humiliated, she felt that she liked Ji Yunhuan a little more.
Old Madam Xia's mind was as clear as a mirror, and she saw everything clearly.
Compared to Princess Rong'an's pretentious appearance, she prefers Ji Yunhuan's personality. She is flamboyant but not stupid, and she is unwilling to suffer any loss.
Seeing that Princess Rong'an was about to lose her temper, Old Madam Xia quickly changed the subject.
"I see that the princess has prepared a birthday gift. The birthday gift chosen by the princess is naturally excellent. I wonder if you can take it out for everyone to see and let them open their eyes."
