Jiang Si's nonchalant look made Old Lady Feng very angry, but she could only hold back her anger in her heart. She patiently advised: "Princess, please don't be willful, lest you implicate the prince in the future——"
Jiang Si frowned and interrupted Madam Feng's nagging: "What are you thinking, Grandmother? If I act capriciously and ignorantly in front of the emperor, will the emperor tolerate it? As for contradicting Prince Qi——"
Jiang Si paused for a moment, looking at Old Madam Feng with a half-smile: "Where did you hear such idle talk, Grandmother?"
Old Madam Feng paused and could not answer.
It was impossible to trace the source of the gossip. It was just that such a rumor suddenly spread. She was shocked when she heard it. She was afraid that Prince Qi would take his anger out on the Bo Mansion after he gained power in the future, so she hurriedly warned Jiang Si.
One look at her granddaughter with a bandaged face made Mrs. Feng's temples throb.
Why is this girl becoming more and more troublesome? She even responds sharply to a nice reminder. Doesn't it mean that now that she's become a princess she doesn't respect her grandmother at all?
Thinking about Jiang Si's words and deeds after marrying into the Prince of Yan's mansion, the frustration that had accumulated in Old Madam Feng's heart for many days finally burst out. Her face sank and she said, "It doesn't matter where I heard it from. What's important is that since the princess is in the royal family, she must be careful with her words and actions, so as not to offend people who should not be offended and bring harm to her relatives in the future."
Jiang Ancheng couldn't help but interrupt: "Mother, Si'er has always been very sensible, she knows her limits -"
"Shut up!" Old Madam Feng no longer had to hold back and shouted at her eldest son, whom she had always disliked.
Seeing his father being treated like this, Jiang Si's eyes turned colder, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Grandma, who do you think should not be offended?"
Old Madam Feng looked sullen and said nothing.
Jiang Si smiled and uttered three words: "King Qi?"
Old Madam Feng did not want to have a bad relationship with her granddaughter who had become a princess, so she sighed and said, "Si'er, grandma is not blaming you, but the King of Qi really cannot be offended. He is the oldest prince besides the King of Qin..."
"Grandma, you think too much." Jiang Si said coldly.
Seeing that her granddaughter refused to listen, Old Madam Feng was annoyed: "Fourth girl, are you really going to act recklessly? Aren't you afraid that you will cause trouble for the Bo family in the future?"
Jiang Si glanced at Madam Feng and suddenly said, "Princess Qi is mentally ill and will not be able to see anyone in the future."
Old Madam Feng was stunned, not sure what Jiang Si meant by this.
But after Jiang Si finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank it slowly.
Old Madam Feng felt that these words were very meaningful and stared at her intently.
Jiang Si seemed to notice Madam Feng's scrutiny and smiled, "Nothing, I just said it casually."
Jiang Yi, who was sitting next to him, suddenly changed her expression and her heart started beating wildly.
Fourth sister...she killed Princess Qi again?
Madam Feng noticed the change in Jiang Yi's expression, which made her frown and suddenly she understood what Jiang Si meant.
At this moment, Madam Feng's heart almost stopped beating. After she came to her senses, there was only one thought in her mind: Was the fourth girl trying to scare her?
After a while, Mrs. Feng said dryly: "Princess——"
Jiang Si was playing with the teacup, and asked calmly, "Grandma, don't you think life is unpredictable?"
Madam Feng's expression changed constantly and she didn't answer.
Jiang Si put the white porcelain teacup on the table and said with a smile, "So, don't think too much about everything. It's stupid to sacrifice yourself for something that is out of reach."
Old Madam Feng shook her head repeatedly.
This girl is crazy. She even dares to plot against Princess Qi, just because she doesn't want to suffer the slightest injustice?
If she keeps on like this, there will be a big mess sooner or later!
Madam Feng changed her tone to one of earnestness and sincerity: "Si'er, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger——"
She couldn't just go head-on with this crazy girl. Since she dared to plot against the dignified Princess Qi, what was she as her grandmother?
At this point, Old Lady Feng had to admit that the relationship between her and this granddaughter who had risen to a high position was weak, and there was no chance for her to show off her grandmother's power.
Seeing that Madam Feng's tone softened, Jiang Si smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Grandma, my father treats me very well."
Old Madam Feng couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Given the fourth girl's prickly temper, can the emperor really like her?
At this moment, a maid ran in hurriedly: "Madam, someone from the palace... someone from the palace has come to announce the decree!"
Old Madam Feng couldn't help but stand up, glanced at Jiang Ancheng who looked bewildered, then looked at Jiang Si who looked calm, and hurriedly held up her temples, and ordered, "Help me change my clothes."
After hurriedly changing into formal clothes, Madam Feng led a group of people to the front yard.
The eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict was waiting in the yard and turned around when he heard the noise.
Madam Feng walked briskly, repeatedly saying, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, sir."
"No need to be polite, old lady." The eunuch had a gentle attitude. Seeing Jiang Si also hurriedly bowed, he said, "Greetings to the princess. It turns out that the princess is here too."
Jiang Si nodded slightly: "Eunuch Le, please don't be so polite."
Old Madam Feng felt quite uncomfortable listening to this conversation.
She was afraid of neglecting the eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict, and her two old legs were about to break, but the fourth girl calmly accepted the eunuch's greeting. This is the difference in status, and it is also something that countless people dream of.
Having such a granddaughter is a great honor, but this girl has a strange personality and I am always worried that she will get into trouble.
For example, at this moment, Old Madam Feng was very nervous and couldn't guess the purpose of the imperial edict from the palace.
If we want to compensate the Bo Mansion for Jiang Zhan's matter, we should wait until the Prince of Yan returns from the south, right?
The more Madam Feng thought about it, the more confused she became, and her heart was in her throat.
Xiao Lezi had already taken out the bright yellow imperial edict, unfolded it and began to read it.
Led by Old Madam Feng, everyone in the Bo's mansion immediately knelt down.
The eunuch's shrill voice echoed from above: "The Emperor, in accordance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: I rule the country with culture and suppress rebellion with military force. Jiang Ancheng, the Earl of Dongping, is both civil and military, and is the pillar of the court. He also gave birth to a son, Zhan, who is outstanding, and a daughter, who is also outstanding in appearance and character... Now I grant the title of Earl of Dongping to you, and you will inherit it for three generations. I am honored to do so."
A while had passed since Xiao Lezi finished reading the imperial edict. The courtyard was still quiet and time seemed to have stood still for a moment.
Among the crowd kneeling to receive the order, even Jiang Si was unable to recover for a moment.
What happened? She didn't do anything, why did a pancake suddenly fall on her?
The title belongs to Jiang Ancheng, and it can be passed down for three generations, so his descendants will be protected.
Jiang Si was no exception and was sincerely happy for his father.
Seeing that no one responded, Xiao Lezi coughed and said, "Master, please accept the order."
Jiang Ancheng took the imperial edict in a daze, his mind going blank.
"Then we will go back to the palace to report." Xiao Lezi didn't stay long and left in a hurry.
Old Madam Feng stood up with the help of Third Madam Guo, but her whole body was limp and she had no strength at all.
She grabbed Jiang Ancheng and asked anxiously, "Boss, what's going on?"
Jiang Ancheng looked at Jiang Si with a blank expression.
