Chapter 139: Not interested in women
"Have you forgotten, Crown Princess? Miss Yan Zhi is the Queen's distant niece. When you and the Crown Prince went to Shunning Palace today, you talked and had dinner with her." Xiang Qiao explained to Jiang Zhaoyue.
"Oh." Jiang Zhaoyue remembered and asked, "Is that the one who admires my father?"
Xiangqiao smiled when she heard that.
Hongcao replied seriously, "Yes."
She flirted with Pei Jingzhou this morning, and now she's coming to ask for an audience. She definitely has bad intentions... Jiang Zhaoyue yawned: "Let her wait a little longer."
"Yes." Hongcao walked out.
Jiang Zhaoyue slowly put on her clothes, drank some tea, woke up, and ate some snacks, which took quite a while.
Yan Zhi's face was not filled with impatience at all. When she saw Jiang Zhaoyue appear, she smiled lightly and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Crown Princess."
This person's cultivation level is higher than Yan Zhiyi and Yan Manyi.
Jiang Zhaoyue smiled and said, "Miss Yan Zhi, there's no need to be so polite. Please get up."
"Yes." Yan Zhi slowly stood up and took the food box from her personal maid. "Autumn has arrived, and the fruits in the orchard are ripening one after another. The Queen has ordered people to pick them and make some delicious snacks. She has ordered this servant to send some to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess to taste."
"Thank you, mother." Jiang Zhaoyue glanced at Xiang Qiao.
Xiangqiao stepped forward to take it.
Jiang Zhaoyue sat down on the mahogany hollow chair and asked, "Miss Yan, is there anything else?"
ah?
Shouldn't we sit down and chat for a while at this time?
Why do you sound like you're trying to get rid of me?
Jiang Zhaoyue is indeed different from ordinary noble ladies.
Yan Zhi had been prepared, so she smiled faintly and said, "Nothing happened to this humble servant. It's just that I just arrived at the harem and saw the Crown Princess, a person with unparalleled beauty. I was attracted by her and wanted to get close to her."
"Don't." Jiang Zhaoyue raised her hand to refuse: "I'm not interested in women, and you're not as pretty as me. I'll be at a big disadvantage if I'm with you."
The corners of Yan Zhi's mouth twitched slightly, but she still put on a faint smile and said, "Crown Princess, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just like talking to good-looking people."
"Tsk." Jiang Zhaoyue was a little disgusted.
Yan Zhi didn't understand what Jiang Zhaoyue meant: "What happened to the Crown Princess?"
"Do you discriminate against ugly people?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
What are you talking about?
Yan Zhi explained: "Your servant——"
"Are ugly people eating your rice and drinking your water?" Jiang Zhaoyue retorted.
Yan Zhi continued: "No, I didn't—"
Jiang Zhaoyue shook her head and said, "You are so superficial."
shallow?
Yan Zhi found out about Jiang Zhaoyue's personality and behavior, so she deliberately tried to please Jiang Zhaoyue, and ended up getting such an evaluation from Jiang Zhaoyue.
She hadn't come here today to have a grudge against Jiang Zhaoyue, so she could only suppress her displeasure and agree with Jiang Zhaoyue, "Crown Princess is right. I will correct my behavior in the future."
Jiang Zhaoyue insisted: "Why do you have to correct it later? Correct it now."
"Now..." Yan Zhi didn't know how to change it now.
Jiang Zhaoyue said sarcastically, "Otherwise, if you go to an attractive married man or woman and start talking about it, people will think you only want to be a concubine."
Yan Zhi gritted her teeth: "Yes."
"That's right." Jiang Zhaoyue nodded with satisfaction and then asked, "Anything else?"
Yan Zhi wanted to see Pei Jingzhou, so she couldn't leave now. So she pretended not to understand Jiang Zhaoyue's intention to drive her away, and continued, "I heard that the Crown Princess also loves beauty."
"Who told you that?" Jiang Zhaoyue immediately asked back.
Yan Zhi couldn't answer for a moment.
"Who's so bold as to spread the Crown Princess's preferences?!" Jiang Zhaoyue immediately said seriously, "Are you tired of living?"
"..." Yan Zhi suddenly realized that she couldn't communicate with Jiang Zhaoyue at all. She never knew what Jiang Zhaoyue was focusing on, so she tried hard to change the subject and said, "I heard from... Auntie that the Crown Princess also loves beauty."
"Oh, that's what mother said. Mother is right." Jiang Zhaoyue put away his seriousness and immediately became gentle, showing his adaptability.
Yan Zhi was speechless for a while.
"Everyone has a love for beauty." Jiang Zhaoyue looked at Yan Zhi and said, "I'm a human being too, right?"
Yan Zhi replied: "It's a person."
Jiang Zhaoyue said proudly: "I am still a beauty."
"Yes." It was the first time that Yan Zhi met Jiang Zhaoyue, who was so difficult to talk to. If she had met such a noble lady under normal circumstances, she would either trick her or turn around and leave, but the other party was the Crown Princess, so she could only endure it.
"The beauty needs to be quiet for a while, Miss Yan, please take care." Jiang Zhaoyue said bluntly.
Yan Zhi now had no reason to stay. Pei Jingzhou happened to come back at this time. She was delighted and looked straight at the tall and handsome Pei Jingzhou as he walked in. Her heart was moved.
Then he bowed with Xiangqiao and others.
Pei Jingzhou didn't even look at her. He said, "Get up," and walked straight to Jiang Zhaoyue and asked, "Did you just wake up?"
Jiang Zhaoyue stood up from the chair, naturally took Pei Jingzhou's hand, and asked, "Your Highness, how did you know I just woke up?"
Pei Jingzhou looked at her bright face and said, "You look sleepy."
"So, is it beautiful?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked without hesitation.
Pei Jingzhou subconsciously looked around and saw Yan Zhi.
Yan Zhi bowed to Pei Jingzhou again.
"Why are you here?" Pei Jingzhou frowned.
Yan Zhi lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, I am here on your aunt's orders to bring snacks to your Highness and the Crown Princess."
Pei Jingzhou asked, "Has it been delivered?"
Yan Zhi replied: "It has been delivered."
Pei Jingzhou immediately asked, "Then why don't you leave?"
Walk?
These two...
How come this couple are so rude?
Yan Zhi was very dissatisfied, but she was just the daughter of a minor official and was often looked down upon. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I was going to leave, but I chatted with the Crown Princess for a few more words, so I was delayed."
"Chatting with the Crown Princess?" Pei Jingzhou looked at Jiang Zhaoyue curiously: "What are you talking about?"
"To reply to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I just said that I like to be close to someone as beautiful as the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess said that she is not interested in women..." Without giving Jiang Zhaoyue a chance to speak, Yan Zhi spoke first, but deliberately did not finish. The implication was that the Crown Princess was not interested in women but liked men.
Most men would feel embarrassed when hearing such words. Even if they didn't say anything on the spot, they would definitely mind it in their hearts.
What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a man who is so handsome, cold, noble, and inseparable from the Crown Princess.
She secretly raised her eyes and saw that Pei Jingzhou had a bad look on his face. She was suddenly filled with joy and felt that the so-called love in the world was fake.
She waited for Pei Jingzhou and Jiang Zhaoyue to gradually drift apart.
Unexpectedly, Pei Jingzhou scolded him, "Who allowed you to seduce the Crown Princess?"
