So, after one night, Jiaming became the target of everyone's criticism!
Are they trying to kill us with this leisurely lifestyle?!
No matter how unwilling she was, no matter how much she complained in her heart about the trouble the Fourth Prince had caused her, in the end, she still attracted the attention of most people in the backyard. Who could blame her for being so lucky as to get the qualification to accompany him on the southern tour!
At noon, after lunch, during what should have been a good time for a nap, Jiaming was still upset about accompanying the Southern Tour, so her nap was ruined.
Just then, a commotion suddenly arose outside the door.
At this moment, it was Hongxuan's time to sleep in the next room. She frowned. It wouldn't be good to wake the little guy up with all this noise. He's getting grumpy more and more when he wakes up.
"Master, this servant will go and see what happened."
"Red Peach asked Fine Tea for instructions.
Jiaming frowned even more, then shook her head, "No need!"
Her keen hearing caught some sounds, and she knew who was there to cause her trouble.
Sure enough, not long after, Uya's voice came from outside the door, "Sister Guarjia, it's rare for me to come all this way, aren't you happy to see me?"
Jiaming's furrowed brows relaxed, thinking to herself that she was certainly not welcome, but she politely replied, "Not at all!"
Outside the door, Wuya's scolding voice rang out again, "Did you hear that? Your master said that I, the princess, am welcome to be a guest!"
The person directly blocking Wuya's way was a spy that the Fourth Prince had planted in Taoyuan, a small eunuch surnamed Zhao.
He thought to himself, “This Wuya clanswoman actually barged into the inner room instead of waiting in the reception room. So arrogant and domineering, no wonder she is not favored by the master!”
Unlike our master, although his appearance isn't particularly outstanding, his personality is something that pleases the Prince...
Just as the eunuch Xiao Zhao was internally criticizing and complaining about Wuya, Jiaming was also observing and analyzing Wuya.
Wuya was quite pretty. Her previously annoying haughty chin-raised gait had become less noticeable because she wasn't favored by the master and had experienced some turmoil in the inner quarters.
But the discerning Jiaming could still sense that the arrogance hadn't dissipated; rather, it had been hidden away.
"I really don't know what gives her the right to be so arrogant," Jiaming thought to herself.
Jiaming originally intended to give Wuya a polite bow, but seeing that Wuya didn't seem inclined to, she decided against it and didn't perform the bow.
She had Hongtao serve her tea and then smiled and said, "Sister, please have a seat!"
After sitting down, Uya felt slightly displeased that Jiaming had not performed the same courtesy to her, feeling that she had been looked down upon.
But she forgot that it was clearly her own intention not to treat the other party with equal courtesy, and that this was seen through, which is why this outcome occurred.
But she was so shameless that Uya, who felt looked down upon, couldn't help but rebuke, "Sister Guarjia, what kind of attitude is this?"
Jiaming: "..." Her attitude was very good, okay?
You barged into my house like that, and I didn't even give you a hard time or avoid you. That's already very polite of me, isn't it?
"This isn't how you find fault," Jiaming rolled her eyes, picked up a pastry and ate it, ignoring Wuya.
She rolled her eyes without any attempt to hide it, and immediately her face turned red with anger.
Wuya, who wanted to reprimand Jiaming, suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit and immediately swallowed her anger. She tried to suppress her anger in a corner of her heart so that it wouldn't come out and cause trouble.
She glanced at Jiaming's innocent baby face, secretly disdainful, and with a smirk, she bluntly said, "Sister, I need your help with something."
Jiaming snorted coldly. She wasn't a pushover; did she think she couldn't see that disdainful look? Humph!
"I don't come here unless I need something. My abilities are limited, and I can't help you."
At this moment, she even felt a bit disgusted with the way she called herself "older sister." She didn't have a younger sister like that; she only had two younger brothers. Humph!
A flash of anger crossed Wuya's face, but she quickly put on a slightly stiff smile and continued, "How could you not have a way, sister? This is not difficult for you."
The Emperor dotes on the Fourth Prince so much that he extends his affection to you to this extent because of him. How could there be no way to help you?
"Unless you, sister, look down on your sister and have no intention of helping at all."
As she spoke, Uya glanced at Irene, her eyes filled with suspicion.
Jiaming was inexplicably labeled as looking down on the other party, but she remained silent. Her gaze stopped Hongtao and the others who couldn't stand it and were about to speak up for her.
Then, he opened his mouth and said calmly, "Sister, what you're saying is really hurtful. It's not that I don't want to help you, but my abilities are limited. I'm willing but unable to help, even if I wanted to."
Upon hearing Jiaming's words, Wuya's expression immediately changed, and her heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Guarjia still did not want to help.
She even planned to give her a bigger share of the benefits after she helped her.
Uya was not stupid; she immediately realized that continuing to drag things out would not get her the result she wanted.
She narrowed her eyes and glanced at Jiaming subtly, thinking to herself: It seems I need to change my approach.
"No way!" Uya was determined to stop stalling and was about to state her purpose directly when suddenly, her brows furrowed as she glanced at the servants in the room, such as Hongtao.
"Sister Guarjia, please have everyone in the room who is not involved leave!"
The commanding tone was very unpleasant to Jiaming's ears.
She scoffed, "Sorry, there's no one unrelated here!"
“But,” Uya hesitated, “if our conversation gets out, this…”
"Then let's not talk about it. Everything has its own trajectory, and it will eventually be discovered," Jiaming said calmly.
Uya was taken aback by these words, then chuckled dryly twice before setting aside her concerns about the presence of unrelated people in the room.
Immediately, she seized the opportunity and said directly, "Sister Guarjia, you are one of the people accompanying the Emperor on his southern tour. However, the Emperor cannot allow you to accompany him alone. Rather than having other people who are not of any benefit to you accompany him, why don't I accompany you on the southern tour with the Emperor?"
Uya's smile was radiant. At this moment, considering the various reasons in her mind, she immediately felt a sense of absolute control; the Guarjia clan was about to be manipulated and controlled by her.
Little did they know, Jiaming was desperate to avoid accompanying the emperor on his southern tour. Moreover, she had no need for the benefits or troubles; her life was already quite comfortable.
Ke Jiaming remained silent, which, in Wuya's eyes, was tacit agreement, and she wanted to continue listening.
She immediately became more confident that she could secure a spot on the southern tour. Excited, she began to speak faster: "You know, I am the master's cousin and the niece of Consort De. It's a piece of cake for me to put in a good word for her in the palace."
If Sister Guarjia wants the Fourth Prince to replace the First Prince, then maintaining friendly relations with the palace is essential.
