Chapter 188: Vicious Female Supporting Character vs. Childless Emperor 32
When Xia Mengyao saw how kind her grandmother was to Ji Yunhuan, even letting Ji Yunhuan sit next to her, she wanted to take out her soft sword and stab a hole in Ji Yunhuan on the spot!
"Grandmother, you only know how to side with outsiders. What can I learn from her? Do you want me to learn how to be arrogant and domineering and not know how to restrain myself? You even paid for the enamel. It's all her fault! Why should we pay for things..."
Xia Mengyao complained a lot, and Ji Yunhuan found her jumping around quite funny.
This kind of personality of saying whatever you want to say is actually not that bad.
At least he won't harm anyone secretly.
Ji Yunhuan reached out and pulled Xia Mengyao over, pressing her to sit down next to him. Xia Mengyao was filled with anger, but she couldn't break free from Ji Yunhuan's hand.
The two of them were competing secretly. Ji Yunhuan was very strong and she forced Xia Mengyao to sit beside her and listen to her talk.
"Do you know why I dare to be so reckless?"
Xia Mengyao felt that her shoulder was about to be broken, but she refused to give in. She stepped on Ji Yunhuan with her foot, and was suddenly scratched by something. The pain was so severe that she almost cried.
"Meow meow!" Xizi crawled out from under the table and waved his paw at Xia Mengyao as if in protest.
Xia Mengyao was very angry. It was true that people resembled their cats. Ji Yunhuan's cats were particularly annoying!
"Because you're stupid, Ji Yunhuan, don't be so proud. You won't be so lucky every time. Sooner or later, someone will take care of you!"
Ji Yunhuan pinched Xia Mengyao's chin and scolded, "You are the stupid one! You can't even understand this. You really haven't learned even a fraction of Madam Xia's wisdom."
"You...let me go!" Xia Mengyao was embarrassed and angry, her face turned red with anger.
Ji Yunhuan held down Xia Mengyao's hand as she was trying to untie the soft sword and gently bent it. Xia Mengyao broke out in a sweat from the pain but didn't utter a single sound.
Ji Yunhuan raised her eyebrows. "Oh, you are quite tough. For Old Madam Xia's sake, I will teach you a lesson. You have to listen even if you don't want to."
"This world is too harsh on women, but as long as the noble ladies in the capital are clear-headed, they won't have a bad life. The key is to figure out what the foundation of your life is."
"Appearance? Family background? Gold and silver dowry? Or the ability to manage a household, talent in business, even giving birth to an excellent child, it can be considered as one's own ability."
"No matter how bad my reputation is, as long as the Prime Minister's Mansion does not fall, I will still be free and at ease, so I will definitely do my best to help my father and brother. As for Princess Rong'an..."
Ji Yunhuan smiled contemptuously, lowered his voice, and whispered in Xia Mengyao's ear:
"Princess Rong'an is a thoughtful person. She has served the Queen Mother since she was a child. She is too timid and cautious. Moreover, she loves glory and wealth. As long as she is intimidated a little and given some face and benefits, she will not be able to cause any trouble."
Xia Mengyao was so engrossed in listening that she didn't even notice that Ji Yunhuan had loosened her hand. The two of them were very close to each other and looked quite intimate, as if they were whispering.
"You and I are the same people. The loyal and brave marquis only has you as his precious jewel, so the whole capital city praises you, making you self-righteous and ignorant! Do you know what it means to cut flesh to feed the tiger? Do you want to kill the whole family of the marquis?"
Ji Yunhuan's scolding was heartfelt and every word was full of tears!
She was also cursing her past self.
Xia Mengyao seemed to have sensed something. She regretted arguing with her father this morning. Her father was unwilling to pledge allegiance to the prince in advance and refused to hand over the Imperial Guards. She shouldn't have made things difficult for her father.
She really liked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but she couldn't quarrel with her father because of Him, as that was her father who had loved her for more than ten years.
Xia Mengyao still didn't look kind to Ji Yunhuan, and whispered:
"Don't exaggerate. You don't have to worry about the affairs of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion. I won't harm my father. Instead, it's you who has offended Princess Rong'an. You are the one who has made enemies for the Prime Minister's Mansion. You are so good at teaching me a lesson, why didn't you just hold back? If you had held back, everything would have been fine."
As soon as Ji Yunhuan stretched out her hand, Xizi immediately jumped into her arms. Ji Yunhuan blinked and said in surprise:
"Endure it? Why should I endure it? If I endure it, my mother will feel wronged for me and she will be unhappy."
"As for my father and brother, they will definitely find a chance to vent my anger on my behalf. It would be better for me to scold them right back on the spot to save them the trouble."
Xia Mengyao said "Oh" and seemed to agree. "That's true. If my father causes trouble for someone, it won't be solved by just scolding him. There will definitely be bloodshed..."
"I'm telling you, there are rules for bullying people. You can't just draw your sword and chop them down every time. You have to consider how they react..."
Both of them are famous "evil women" in the capital. They talk excitedly together. They really have the same interests and are like-minded!
Old Madam Xia was very satisfied to see the two of them being so close.
She didn't ask her granddaughter to be virtuous, she just hoped that she could be clear-headed and not suffer any loss in the future.
Xizi lay on Ji Yunhuan, listening to Ji Yunhuan proudly mentioning Madam Ji, he couldn't help but think of the Queen Mother.
It turns out that this is how a real mother thinks about her child. She is afraid that her child will get hurt or feel wronged, and would rather bear it herself than let her child worry...
These were things he could never get. He knew from a young age that the Queen Mother had no sympathy for him.
He once fantasized that when he had a child, his wife would treat him a thousand times better, but he was really disgusted with women and it was impossible for him to have a child.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived~~Congratulations to the old lady of the Marquisate on her eightieth birthday~~His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived..."
A loud voice came from outside the door, getting closer and closer.
Old Madam Xia stood up in shock.
Yesterday, Marquis Zhongyong had just angered the prince, and today the prince actually came in person to celebrate the birthday. She didn't believe that the prince could be so broad-minded, and was afraid that he had bad intentions.
It was too late to prepare any countermeasures at this time. Old Madam Xia could only straighten her clothes and lead everyone to the gate of Fu'an Hall to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness, may your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"
Old Madam Xia bowed and was soon helped up by the maidservant beside the prince.
The maid was beautiful, with a pair of eyes full of tenderness and affection, and a voice as sweet as a yellow oriole, "Old Madam Xia, please stand up."
Princess Rong An was standing next to Old Madam Xia and she also bowed. "If I had known that my cousin was coming, Rong An would not have come. Instead, she disturbed Old Madam Xia twice, which shows that our royal family is not very considerate."
Long Haochang glanced at Princess Rong'an sideways, "The princess can come, but I can't? The Loyal and Brave Marquis's family has been loyal to the emperor for generations, not to the women in the harem!"
Princess Rong'an stood up straight without waiting for the prince to tell her to stand up. She knew that the prince also wanted to win over the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
Judging from Old Madam Xia’s attitude, the Crown Prince will certainly not get any good words from him, so she can just sit back and watch.
Ji Yunhuan mingled among the noble ladies and did not get close to Old Madam Xia. All he could hear were the noble ladies' exclamations and endless words of praise.
She was surprised that Princess Rong'an could remain calm towards the Crown Prince.
Old Madam Xia bowed and invited the prince into Fu'an Hall, while she followed half a step behind.
As soon as Long Haochang entered the room, he saw Ji Yunhuan with his head down. He ignored the courtesy of the women around him and walked quickly to Ji Yunhuan with a look of surprise on his face.
"Huan'er! How come you came to the banquet alone? I might as well come with you."
