Chapter 187: Vicious Female Supporting Character vs. Childless Emperor 31
The noble lady who had just been frightened to tears sniffed and looked at Ji Yunhuan with admiration.
She felt that what Ji Yunhuan said made sense, but Princess Rong'an was the role model for women all over the world. Her mother always advised her to learn more from Princess Rong'an and even made her sit closer to the princess. She did not dare to show her love for Ji Yunhuan.
If others knew that she actually worshipped a notorious woman, they would definitely dislike her.
Old Madam Xia turned sideways, hiding the smile in her eyes.
It is said that the girl from the Ji family is spoiled and domineering, and even cats and dogs hate her, but she likes her more and more.
Being truly protected by such a woman, the person being protected will only feel that she is straightforward and sincere. Who can not be moved by such sincerity?
The world only remembers the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, the old marquis, her eldest son who died in battle, and her youngest son who has now inherited the title, but she has gradually been forgotten by the world, with only the identity of Old Lady Xia remaining.
The fact that the girl from the Ji family knew all these past events shows that the Prime Minister's Mansion does not look down on military commanders as it appears, but is just doing it for the Crown Prince to see.
Thinking of this, Old Lady Xia's tone became a little softer, "Good boy, come here, be careful not to hurt your hands if you rush around."
Ji Yunhuan no longer paid attention to Princess Rong'an. He stood obediently beside Old Madam Xia and let the old lady hold his hand.
Princess Rong'an pushed the servant away, slapped him, and said angrily, "Useless servant! Are you just going to stand by and watch me get humiliated?"
The servant was just a eunuch who entered the palace at a young age. He only knew how to serve others and was no match for Ji Yunhuan's whip.
When the whip came, they naturally dodged backwards, so all the enamelware on the table was broken.
The servants and palace maids knelt on the ground. Princess Rong'an completely cast aside her hypocritical face, and showed her haughty demeanor, displaying the majesty of a royal princess.
"When this princess is giving you a lecture, you should listen attentively. Ji Yunhuan, you are so bold! You spread lies to confuse the people and even dare to humiliate this princess! This princess will go back to the palace to report to the Queen Mother and punish you for the crime of disrespect."
Madam Xia gave a look and several maids blocked Princess Rong'an's way, standing there respectfully without saying a word.
Princess Rong'an was furious, "What do you mean, old lady? How dare you stop me?"
Madam Xia smiled kindly, "I just saw that the princess's clothes were disheveled and a little indecent, so I wanted to ask my personal maid to help her wash up."
"If the princess leaves the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion like this, wouldn't it seem that our Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion is not hospitable enough? If the Empress Dowager knew about this, she would probably misunderstand that there is a rift between us."
Princess Rong'an suddenly calmed down.
Although the Queen Mother loved her, she would never neglect her own career for her.
Winning over the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was something the Empress Dowager had been thinking about day and night. She took the initiative to help the Empress Dowager share her worries and difficulties, and condescended to come and celebrate the birthday of an old lady, just to please the Empress Dowager.
The picture of longevity peaches has been hung in the mansion of Marquis Zhongyong. No matter what Marquis Zhongyong thinks, the gift has been sent out, and she can explain to the Queen Mother.
If the empress dowager knew that she had offended Old Madam Xia, she would definitely blame her for being ignorant. The empress dowager has so many granddaughters, and she doesn't have to love her alone.
Ji Yunhuan tugged at the old lady's sleeve and pretended to whisper, "Old lady, why are you afraid of her? She is just a princess with no real power. Even if she has the support of the Queen Mother, she can't control the affairs outside the palace."
"My father is the Prime Minister. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't dare to do anything to me. I am not afraid of a mere princess!"
Ji Yunhuan raised his head proudly, revealing the face of a smug villain to the fullest!
Princess Rong'an hated Ji Yunhuan very much, but she didn't dare to get angry again.
Now the Crown Prince is getting along very well with the Prime Minister's Office. The Crown Prince's reputation is extremely high, and the Queen Mother is in a weak position. She can only plot in secret, and on the surface, it still looks like a filial and harmonious scene between grandparents and grandchildren.
Everyone knows that Prime Minister Ji dotes on his legitimate wife. If she offends the Prime Minister's Mansion again, the Queen Mother will probably not protect her. She might even punish her and curry favor with the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Princess Rong'an felt cold all over, and a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on her back.
Although she seems to be living a glamorous life as a princess, she is actually just living at the mercy of others. The halo and reputation she has are the foundation of her life.
The emperor had no regard for the relationship between brother and sister. Her mother, Princess Ruihua, was just a princess in name only. She had no fiefdom and had no say in the capital.
However, Ji Yunhuan has a father who is a prime minister and holds real power, a mother who is a wealthy businessman, and two older brothers to rely on.
Princess Rong'an stood where she was, letting several maids from the marquis's mansion tidy up her messy hair and clothes. After a moment, she finally regained her composure and became the gentle and quiet woman again.
"Thank you, old lady. The servants Rong An brought here are not up to par and made you laugh."
The eunuch had already collected the broken porcelain pieces on the table. Things made within the palace, even if they were destroyed, could not be thrown away at will.
The palace maid nervously followed Princess Rong'an, and stood aside with her hands hanging down, even breathing very quietly, for fear of displeasing the princess.
Madam Xia glared at Ji Yunhuan and said in feigned anger, "Don't talk nonsense! You are so careless with your words, and you think you haven't caused enough trouble!"
Ji Yunhuan shut up obediently and winked at Princess Rong'an, looking quite proud.
Old Madam Xia personally led Princess Rong'an to her seat, giving Princess Rong'an enough face.
A set of enamel porcelain has been placed on the table. Compared with the elegant and beautiful pastel porcelain, enamel porcelain is more colorful and gorgeous. A small teacup is covered with a hundred flowers in full bloom, with a riot of color.
"This set of porcelain was given by His Majesty and was made in the palace. I am old and do not have much use for these fine things. The princess is both talented and beautiful, and only she deserves such fine porcelain."
Princess Rong'an couldn't take her eyes away.
The items made inside the palace were also divided into grades. The Imperial Household Department was naturally there to curry favor with the emperor, so the items around the emperor were the best, and even the items given to others as rewards were rare treasures.
She coughed modestly, "Since it is a palace item, then I will give it a try."
The palace maid poured tea for the princess and placed exquisite pastries on the plate. Princess Rong'an reached out to take the glittering enamel porcelain cup and felt that the tea in the cup had become especially sweet.
"Good tea, it leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth. This princess likes it very much."
Old Madam Xia continued, "It was just a fight between girls, it's not a big deal. The princess is having fun with the people and is willing to teach them, it's their blessing."
"Today is my birthday party. Please give me some face. If I leave early, it will hurt the relationship."
Princess Rong'an took advantage of the situation and put on a friendly attitude, "Old Madam Xia is right. I will not bother with that scoundrel."
The storm just passed like that.
The rascal Ji Yunhuan was pulled by Old Madam Xia to sit next to him, feeling quite embarrassed. "Old Madam, you spent a lot of money. I will send someone to deliver a set of porcelain tomorrow. Do you like Western things? Huan'er will pick a few for you to play with."
Old Madam Xia looked serious, but her words were somewhat intimate.
"No, no, I don't need this little thing. You are exactly like Yao'er, both of you have a fiery temper. I look at you as if you were my own granddaughter.
"Yao'er, come here. I think only the young lady from the Ji family can control you. You should learn more from them in the future. You should be more careful about what to do and what not to do."
