Chapter 335 Restraint
"Why are some ladies so fat? Do they really only eat so little?" Su Yindi asked incredulously. If they only ate so little, how did they accumulate so much fat?
Liang Lan and Jiang Mi both laughed: "It's definitely not that little food. If you eat such a tiny bit at every meal, how can you survive?"
Su Yindi laughed too, and the group decided not to eat anymore, but to wait until they got home to eat.
Just then, a dancer came in to perform, and Liang Lan and Su Yindi clicked their tongues in admiration: "They are really beautiful. Nothing else matters, but since coming to the capital, we have indeed seen a lot of beautiful women. Even a random maid is so pretty. They really are from a big city."
Liang Lan's smile faded a bit: "They're alright, they're not bad looking, but none of them are as pretty as Jiang Mi, they're just so-so."
Su Yindi pouted: "Of course, how many people can compare to our Honey? Our Honey has a beauty that only heaven can match, she's a fairy, not a mortal."
It was truly a rare treat to hear Su Yindi praise her like that. Jiang Mi smiled, and when she looked up, she saw Princess Jinning beckoning to her. Jiang Mi then excused herself to go to the restroom and left.
"Princess, you were looking for me?"
Princess Jinning's eyes narrowed with delight when she saw Jiang Mi: "Yes, it was so boring inside, I came out for some fresh air. I saw you were bored too, so I called you out with me. You don't mind, do you?"
Jiang Mi smiled and said, "Of course I have no objection. I'm fine anywhere. This is my first time in a place like this, and I'm quite used to it. But I didn't expect to meet such a cheerful girl like the princess. It's a reward for me."
Princess Jinning smiled, and at that moment Huo Ran immediately came out. Princess Jinning greeted him, "Young Master Huo, thank you for coming to celebrate my grandmother's birthday today. I thought you wouldn't come, but I didn't expect you to actually come."
Huo Ran smiled, but looked at Jiang Mi: "Your Highness is too kind. This is what I, as a junior, should do."
Huo Ran glanced at Jiang Mi a few times, which slightly eased his longing, before reluctantly leaving.
After he left, Princess Jinning whispered, "Isn't Young Master Huo quite handsome? Many young ladies in the capital admire him. You have no idea how many people want to marry him."
Jiang Mi knew, of course, that Liu Zijun was like a madwoman. She looked at Princess Jinning and felt a little uncomfortable. If Princess Jinning also liked Huo Ran like this, wouldn't they be rivals in love?
"Princess Jinning..." Jiang Mi was about to ask when Princess Jinning interrupted her.
"Don't call me Princess anymore, it's too formal. Just call me Jinning. But I have a nickname, Zhizhi, you can call me Zhizhi."
"Zhizhi?" The name is quite cute. I didn't expect a princess to have such a strange nickname. "My name is Jiang Mi, but my family likes to call me Honey. You can call me that too."
Princess Jinning exclaimed happily, "Honey, this is wonderful! I have good friends now. You don't know, all these young ladies from noble families around me are either trying to curry favor with me or trying to please me. They don't have any sincerity at all. Don't be fooled by the number of people around me; not one of them is genuinely kind to me. They all have ulterior motives towards me."
Jiang Mi could understand that someone like Princess Jinning must have no shortage of lackeys around her. She asked curiously, "Why aren't you worried that I'm the same kind of person? Besides, my status is the lowest, and others are relatively close to you in terms of status."
Princess Jinning didn't care at all: "So what? You're beautiful, more beautiful than them. They're targeting you because they're jealous of your beauty. To be honest, who wouldn't want a perfect face like yours? They just don't have the chance, so they destroy what they can't have. Especially Liu Zijun, I know her best. She just wanted to embarrass you. Besides, she likes Young Master Huo very much, but unfortunately, Young Master Huo doesn't like her."
Jiang Mi looked at her curiously: "You seem to know a lot about these things. Do you also like Young Master Huo?"
Princess Jinning blushed: "Yes, there's nothing wrong with admitting it. I do like him quite a bit, but he's very cold to me. Well, not exactly cold, but very polite, like he's like that to everyone. So I knew he definitely didn't like me. Even if he doesn't like me, I can't accept him being with Liu Zijun. Someone like Liu Zijun doesn't deserve me at all."
Jiang Mi also felt that Liu Zijun was unworthy, but she didn't say it. Although Princess Jinning performed very well, no one knows what anyone is really thinking. People's hearts are hidden, so you always have to be on guard. Otherwise, you'll probably be helping the seller count the money even after being sold out.
"Don't mention her. I'll take you to my room. I have lots of beautiful jewelry there. I think it would look really good on you."
Jiang Mi quickly shook her head: "Let's forget it. Thank you for your kindness, but your things are too valuable. I can't wear them. Besides, the old lady has already given me a jade hairpin, and many people are green with envy. I can't do that again."
Princess Jinning felt a little disappointed, but she could understand Jiang Mi's behavior, so she didn't insist.
"Alright, let's take a stroll in the back garden. You've never seen the chrysanthemums my grandmother grows, have you? They're incredibly beautiful. The fact that they bloom at this time of year tells you how precious and rare they are."
Jiang Mi also felt that it was rare for chrysanthemums to bloom at this time, so she curiously followed. As soon as she arrived at the back garden, she saw Huo Ran surrounded by Liu Zijun and others, who were talking about something.
Princess Jinning was furious when she saw this. Although she couldn't have Huo Ran, she didn't want someone as malicious as Liu Zijun to be with Huo Ran.
"Liu Zijun, what are you doing?"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Liu Zijun immediately took a step back, blushing as she said, "I didn't do anything, I was just admiring the flowers with Brother Huo Ran. Princess, your flowers are so beautiful! I heard that the Old Madam grows chrysanthemums, may I take a look?"
Princess Jinning snorted coldly: "Does that mean just anyone can look at it? You make it sound so easy, but do you know how much effort my grandmother put into raising it? What if you break it?"
Liu Zijun quickly said, "I won't. I'm just looking, I won't do anything. Why be so stingy, Princess? Besides, Brother Huo Ran is here too, he also wants to see."
Huo Ran wanted to say that he wasn't interested, but when he turned around he saw Jiang Mi there, so he stopped talking. He wanted to explain that there was nothing between him and Liu Zijun.
