Zhou Yanyan said this deliberately.
"Why can't I understand what the princess is saying?"
Ye Qianqian said it on purpose.
"I remember last night, when I did your makeup, all those cosmetics of yours were really expensive!"
"Just that one box of rouge would cost twenty taels of silver."
"Even an imperial concubine wouldn't use such expensive rouge."
"I had no idea that Sister Zhou's food, clothing, and daily necessities were actually much more luxurious than those of the Imperial Noble Consort!"
"Of course I'm saying that Sister Zhou isn't a frugal person!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanyan immediately blushed.
Because what Ye Qianqian said was true.
But Zhou Yanyan never expected this.
The Imperial Noble Consort was so frugal.
Zhou Yanyan originally thought that the rouge used by the Imperial Noble Consort must have cost at least one hundred taels of silver.
Unexpectedly, her high standards were somewhat offensive to the Imperial Noble Consort.
Zhou Yanyan immediately said.
"I bought this rouge a long time ago. I don't wear makeup much, so the rouge has been sitting at home ever since."
"It's expired by now, but I can't bear to throw it away, so I'd like to keep it and use it."
Ye Qianqian smiled deliberately.
"So, Sister Zhou is really a thrifty person!"
"But I've never seen that packaging before. I remember it came out this month, right?"
"Or is it that Sister Zhou has a bad memory and has mistakenly remembered that she bought the cosmetics and face powder this month instead of the ones she bought before?"
Ye Qianqian directly and ruthlessly exposed Zhou Yanyan's true colors.
Prefect Zhou felt even more embarrassed.
He immediately knelt on the ground and said.
"Your Majesty, I am filled with trepidation!"
Zhou Yanyan quickly knelt down as well.
"Princess, I am guilty."
Ye Qianqian waved her hand and said naturally.
"I suppose Sister Zhou bought the finest rouge and face powder for this palace banquet."
"Sister Zhou was just trying to be more appropriate, and there's nothing wrong with that."
"As long as Sister Zhou isn't usually such an extravagant person, there shouldn't be any problems."
"Get up and have your meal."
"Thank you, Princess."
Prefect Zhou and Zhou Yanyan sat down nervously.
What should we do?
I was initially thinking I wouldn't be very particular about table manners, which might leave a terrible impression on the princess!
{But before I could even begin my plan, the princess had already seen right through me!}
{And she seemed very angry. If I didn't show any proper manners, the princess would probably only get angrier and say that the daughter of Prefect Zhou had no manners at all!}
{That won't do. For my father's reputation, and for my own, I can't deliberately tarnish my image!}
Ugh, thinking about it really makes me angry!
Sometimes, many things are beyond our control!
Ye Qianqian said to Zhou Yanyan.
"Sister Zhou, after breakfast, come out with me. After we finish our business, I will return to the palace."
Zhou Yanyan immediately replied.
"Yes, but Princess, what do you intend to do?"
Ye Qianqian said this deliberately.
You'll find out then.
Zhou Yanyan felt uneasy.
She always felt that the princess had no good intentions.
After breakfast.
Ye Qianqian and Zhou Yanyan went out.
The two of them went out onto the street.
Ye Qianqian said to Zhou Yanyan.
"Let's go check out the soup kitchen over there."
"Um!"
"But I wonder what the princess means by this?"
"Now I want to see how many suffering people in Dayuan City are still not living a good life."
Then Ye Qianqian walked forward.
Zhou Yanyan quickly followed.
{Are you, Princess, just bored out of your mind?!}
This has nothing to do with you! Why do you insist on getting involved?
{Those who didn't know better might think you're trying to win people over, preparing for a future rebellion!}
Ye Qianqian pouted.
Rebellion? That's hilarious!
【I, Ye Qianqian, have everything I want, why would I want to mess with that imperial seal! I absolutely must get my hands on it!】
With my second brother around, I can be a content little princess without worry. And if there's any crisis in the palace, I can step in and help!
Zisheng is still distributing porridge to the people.
After seeing Ye Qianqian.
Zi Sheng nodded.
Zhou Yanyan asked.
"You know her?"
Ye Qianqian nodded.
"Of course, don't you know Lord Zi's daughter? Her father and your father were officials in the same court."
Zhou Yanyan said with a smile.
"I don't usually interact with people much, so naturally I wouldn't know."
"But she seems to be really kind!"
{Pah, what kind of kindness is that?!}
Judging by her age, it's about time she entered the palace!
{She's doing this now simply to gain a good reputation so that she can attract the Emperor's attention after entering the palace!}
I'm well aware of the tricks and schemes used in the struggle for favor in the imperial harem!
{This Zisheng seems to be quite intelligent! Once she enters the palace, she'll definitely be able to secure a place for herself in the harem!}
{Fine, then go ahead and fight! The more intense your fight, the more fun it will be!}
{Hehehehe!}
