After sending them to the gate of Yuhe Garden, Ah Man stood still, with his chin raised high, looking down on people with his nose: "Our princess has a good temper, but I am not. The three of you should be more restrained in the future and don't make the princess angry."

As she spoke, she swung the dagger in her hand, which went straight into the trunk of a tree not far away, causing the treetops to rustle and leaves to fall.

The three of them could no longer conceal their fear.

This bastard must have been trained by the princess!

"Have you three remembered this?"

Nanny Ji responded with a sullen face, and the two palace maids did not dare to say a word.

After leaving Yuhe Garden and struggling to return to her residence, Qingyu leaned against the wall and felt weak all over: "I'm so scared, why...why is the princess like this..."

Jiangzhu also looked pale and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, the princess is completely different from what I imagined..."

All the noble ladies in the palace were kind-hearted and gentle-spoken. Even when punishing people, they only frowned slightly, as they had their subordinates to do it for them. The ladies themselves were still noble and elegant.

And the princess actually pulled out a dagger when she disagreed with something.

Qingyu leaned against the wall to calm herself down, and asked Jiangzhu, "Tell me, does the prince know that the princess is like this?"

Jiangzhu's heart was still beating wildly at this moment. She stroked her chest and sighed, "So what if I know? I think the prince is different from ordinary people. Maybe he likes the princess like this."

Qingyu looked hopeless: "Then, then we will never be able to make a breakthrough, right?"

Jiangzhu was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "I suddenly feel that days like this are not bad."

Qingyu opened her eyes wide, looking surprised: "Jiangzhu, are you frightened?"

As she spoke, she reached out to touch Jiangzhu's forehead to see if she had a fever.

Jiangzhu turned her head away and said calmly, "I'm not confused. Qingyu, think about it, isn't it much easier for us to manage the spices in the palace now than in the palace?"

Qingyu nodded hesitantly.

To be honest, since they were chosen as palace maids three years ago, they were not assigned any specific tasks. Most of the time, apart from observing etiquette, they were learning sex. Of course, they were not tired, but...

I don’t know what he was thinking about, but fear flashed across Qingyu’s eyes.

Jiangzhu obviously felt the same way: "I haven't slept well in the past three years. On the contrary, I feel a little relaxed and comfortable these days in the palace managing spices. I originally thought that the princess would be like those nobles I met before, and would definitely arrange for me to sleep with her after I get married, but from what I saw just now, it is clear that this path will not be necessary. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this. At least we don't have to worry about food and drink in the palace, and we are rewarded by the emperor. As long as we don't offend the princess, no one dares to make us angry. What do you think?"

Qingyu still couldn't figure it out, biting her lip and said, "Jiangzhu, you also said that we were gifted by the emperor. If we don't serve the prince, how can others dare to marry us? In this way, wouldn't we...wouldn't we be alone for the rest of our lives?"

Jiangzhu rolled her eyes at her, and was quite disappointed that they could not make it. "What's the point of marrying? Marry a man to get clothes and food. We have no worries about food and clothing in the palace, why do we have to marry a rough man to wash clothes, cook and serve the parents-in-law? When we have worked hard for most of our lives, the man will save some dirty money and start thinking about getting a concubine."

Jiangzhu's words were like a bolt of lightning that struck Qingyu's mind, opening the door to a new world for her.

"Jiangzhu, now that you put it like that, I suddenly realize that this is the case..."

Almost all the maids in the palace were born in poor families. Although there was a rule that they should leave the palace and return home when they turned 25, after seeing the splendor and luxury in the palace, very few of them were willing to return to their original lives unless their parents loved them very much.

Qingyu's parents passed away a few years ago, and Jiangzhu was left with only her mother and brother and sister-in-law. She could no longer return to that home.

"Let's go inside." Jiangzhu extended her hand to Qingyu.

Qingyu held Jiangzhu's hand, and the two of them walked into the house together.

There was only sunlight and lush green leaves in the yard.

Nanny Ji went straight to the front yard and found the chief clerk.

The Chief Clerk had just left Yu Jin's study and was feeling heartbroken thinking about the prince's rebelliousness, when Nanny Ji came in and started sighing.

"Why is Mammy sighing?"

"Master, I can't do this job any more."

After listening to Nanny Ji's long and sad words, Changshi's face was particularly wonderful. After a while, he advised: "That's right, Nanny, you should do your best to guide the princess onto the right path!"

Nanny Ji frowned and said weakly, "I thought I was just risking the displeasure of the prince and princess, but I never thought I would have to risk my life! I came here just to inform the chief historian. From now on, I will only take care of the servants. I will not be able to control the prince and princess if they have any outrageous words or actions."

Nanny Ji said this and turned and left.

"Mammy, Mammy..." Changshi failed to catch up and beat his chest and stamped his feet, "Women are afraid of difficulties and retreat. You really can't count on them!"

However, as a chief historian, he could advise the prince, but he could not always sneak around the princess. Thinking of this, the old man suddenly felt that the future was bleak.

Jiang seemed to feel clear all of a sudden.

After Emperor Jingming finished reviewing the memorials, he found the secret memorial from the commander of the Jinlin Guard.

In the mind of Emperor Jingming, the secret reports submitted by Jinlinwei were much more interesting than the formal memorials submitted by his ministers, especially since some of them contained matters that he had specifically ordered.

For example, investigating the past of Princess Yan.

Jinlinwei's secret reports were usually concise and precise.

After Emperor Jingming finished reading, he put aside his doubts.

The Princess of Yan grew up in seclusion in a secluded palace. Apart from her beautiful appearance, there was nothing special about her, and she had never dealt with anyone special.

From this point of view, the statement that Princess Yan was born with knowledge is not wrong.

After all, it was just a small matter and had nothing to do with the overall situation. After reading it, Emperor Jingming put the secret memorial aside, glanced around, and took out the storybook from under the mountain of memorials and began to read it with relish.

The palace banquet to celebrate Princess Fuqing's eye recovery was scheduled for two days later. This could be considered a family banquet, and only royal relatives could receive the invitation.

That day was the day Jiang Si was going to return home, so on that day they could only send someone to the Dongping Marquis's mansion to deliver a message and go there later.

Not to mention the various feelings of the people in the Bo Mansion when they received the message, Jiang Si and Yu Jin got on the carriage early in the morning and headed straight for the palace.

The palace banquet was held in the Changsheng Hall, and its scale was comparable to the palace banquets held on the Winter Solstice and New Year's Day, which shows the importance the emperor and empress attached to Princess Fuqing.

Jiang Si and Yu Jin arrived relatively early. After entering the hall, they separated and were led to their seats by palace maids.

Jiang Si had just sat down when he heard a gentle voice: "Seventh brother's wife?"

An uncontrollable chill rose from the bottom of my heart and quickly spread to my limbs.

Jiang Si clenched his cold fingertips and looked in the direction of the sound.

Princess Qi smiled kindly and said, "There were so many people at your seventh brother's wife's wedding that day that I'm afraid you didn't remember me. I'm your fourth sister-in-law."
