Chapter 68: Are you trying to slap the Qi Palace in the face by taking the 100 taels of silver?



Taking the towel handed over by Chunzhi, Yunmeng asked, "What is the princess doing?"

"The princess has been staying in the Peony Courtyard and has never been out, but!" Chunzhi changed the subject, anger rising on her face.

"But the secret guards around the princess have been busy in the mansion for the whole afternoon, and have been teased by the guards in our mansion for the whole afternoon."

It was a real tease. When the guards were on patrol, they would always intentionally or unintentionally block the eldest princess's secret guards.

Either they block the other party in the cracks of rocks and make them unable to move, or they block them in a toilet and make them endure the stench, or they block them in water and make them suffocate.

All in all, the princess's secret guards had a very exciting afternoon, and they will probably have psychological trauma after leaving Prince Qi's palace.

"The old housekeeper said that the princess has more than one secret guard around her. I guess the other secret guards will appear at night."

"Well, then take good care of the princess's secret guards." Yun Meng raised his eyelids and a strange smile appeared on his face.

I don’t know if the eldest princess can stay until night.

Forget it, never mind, let’s go and invite the princess to dinner first.

Even though the eldest princess is here to take advantage of us, we can't really not even treat her to a meal.

Yunmeng held Mobao's hand, and the mother and son came to the Peony Courtyard. The gatekeeper immediately saluted when he saw Yunmeng and her son coming.

Soon the eldest princess' voice was heard in the yard.

"Oh, Princess Qi finally remembered me."

The person hasn't appeared yet, but the annoying sarcastic words came out first, and Yunmeng rolled her eyes when she heard them.

"How could this princess forget the eldest princess? I am thinking that the eldest princess has worked hard all the way, so I want her to have more rest."

Yun Meng threw a handkerchief and said, "Now it seems that I am the princess' fault. Alas, it is hard to be a considerate and kind person these days."

The princess's face darkened at the words she said. Before she could get angry, Mo Bao stepped forward and saluted.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Mobao is back, no need to be polite." The princess supported him with one hand, "I heard that you became the disciple of King Rui."

"Oh my, the princess has really good hearing. She can hear this. Mobao, show off to the princess."

After Yunmeng finished speaking, she looked at the princess with a half-smile. Not bad, she still says that she doesn't have any spies.

Moreover, he was in Prince Qi's mansion and heard about it so promptly. Someone must have delivered the news specifically. We need to check what channel was used.

If there is a traitor in Prince Qi's mansion, he must be dealt with immediately.

"Oh, Princess Qi doesn't need to be yin and yang to me. That was something that happened at the poetry meeting. Are you surprised to hear that?"

The princess rolled her eyes and said, "It's not me who picked the gift."

"I've already said no, but you're still trying to pick. You should be aware of your place as a guest. The Prince Qi's Mansion is so poor, but they're still willing to entertain you. You should be satisfied."

Yunmeng rolled her eyes after she finished speaking. Who doesn’t roll their eyes?

The eldest princess was choked. Wouldn't normal people say "I'm not the one choosing the gifts" before choosing them?

Why can't she choose? Isn't this bullying?

"Princess, I have arranged a banquet. Please come in." Yun Meng extended her hand to invite everyone, finally finding the consciousness of being the host.

"Hehe, then I thank Princess Qi." The eldest princess gritted her teeth, annoyed by Yun Meng's sarcastic look.

If not!

Humph, who really wants to visit the Prince Qi’s Mansion?

The group came to the restaurant and sat down. Soon a maid came up with three dishes and a soup.

"I heard that the princess eats 38 dishes in one meal. Alas, the Qi Wang Mansion is poor and cannot compare to the Princess' Mansion. I hope the princess will not despise it."

Yun Meng pushed the only meat dish in front of the princess and said, "Come, come and taste the cooking skills of the chef in Prince Qi's mansion."

The eldest princess looked at the three dishes and one soup on the table, including a plate of stir-fried meat with dried vegetables. The meat was cut into small and broken pieces, and could not be picked up with a pair of glasses.

Not only were the pieces small and broken, but there wasn't enough of them. You had to strain your eyes to find a piece of meat in a dish of meat.

Let’s talk about fried eggs with garlic sprouts. You can only see the garlic sprouts but not the eggs. That means a large plate of fried garlic sprouts and an egg.

There was also a dish of green vegetables, which was the only normal dish because it only consisted of green vegetables.

Look at the soup again, it is so thin that it can be used as a mirror.

Even a dog wouldn’t eat this kind of food!

The eldest princess was so angry that she threw her chopsticks and couldn't eat anymore. She really couldn't eat anymore. They said she had thirty-eight dishes in one meal, and they still treated her like this. Who was she looking down on?

"Oh, look at me, I am sorry for not hosting you well. How can the princess eat such food? Sigh."

Yunmeng sighed, "Don't blame me, Princess. The King of Qi took all the money with him when he went to war. This is not enough.

Later, the King of Qi died in battle, and some of his old subordinates lost their ability to make a living, so the Palace of the Prince of Qi had to use up the little money they had left to settle them.

Alas, my poor mother-in-law, in order to settle those people, she even sold a lot of her dowry.

When the old lady was dying, she didn't even have three dishes or a soup. Oh, my poor mother-in-law."

Yunmeng took a handkerchief to cover her face and cried about her poverty, saying that no one could compare to her. She asked, "Princess, how are you going to deal with this?"

What could the princess do? Blame Yunmeng for being stingy and not serving her good wine and food?

Do you still want the princess’ reputation to get out?

But the princess really couldn't eat the three dishes and one soup in front of her, and she didn't want to eat it. She wanted to stand up and leave.

If the news gets out, she will still be criticized. After much thought, the only solution the princess can think of is to give a banknote.

As long as the problem can be solved with silver notes, it doesn't seem to be a big problem, but the princess doesn't want to give it.

Even after they had emptied her treasury, she still wanted her to send her banknotes. The princess felt so aggrieved no matter how she thought about it.

Taking a deep breath, the princess forced a fake smile and tried to comfort Yunmeng, but her persuasion was not enough and she even winked at Mobao.

Mo Bao did not follow suit, but instead quietly pulled up his sleeves, revealing his patched shirt.

Xiao Mobao used practical actions to tell the eldest princess that the Prince Qi’s Mansion was really poor.

The eldest princess' eyes twitched as she watched. She couldn't believe that the older and younger ones were so shameless and openly pretended to be poor.

How can they be so shameless and yet so self-righteous?

The eldest princess expressed her desire to learn!

Helplessly, the princess had to take out a silver note worth one hundred taels from the accompanying nanny and hand it to Yunmeng.

Yunmeng cried even more sadly when she saw the face value of the silver note. Not only did she cry, she also had to speak.

"Princess, what does it mean when you give me a hundred taels of silver? Do you think the Prince Qi's mansion is poor?

Are you trying to slap the Qi Wang Mansion in the face by taking the 100 taels of silver? How could you do that?

I am treating you with kindness, you, you, you!"

Yunmeng pointed at the eldest princess and put on a hurt expression, which made the eldest princess's teeth ache.

At the same time, the eldest princess also understood that if the news spread that she used a hundred taels of silver to humiliate the Prince of Qi's Mansion, the infamy would be as heavy as a mountain.

What could the princess do if she didn't want to bear the infamy? She could only grit her teeth and take out one thousand taels of silver.

But when the one thousand taels were mentioned, not only Yunmeng cried, but Mobao also started to shed tears.
