Not long after returning to the mansion, Nanny Kong came with Princess Rongfu's password.
Seeing that Su Li was meeting her in the west wing instead of the main hall, Madam Kong couldn't help but feel a little strange. However, she remained expressionless and said, "Madam Pei, the princess has a message for you and invites you to the princess's residence."
Xiao Wu frowned almost invisibly. It was getting dark, and it was indeed a bit rude to summon someone into the mansion at this time. However, after all, she was a noble princess.
Su Li didn't care. Not only was it not the first time that Princess Rongfu had deliberately embarrassed her, but she also wanted to see what Princess Rongfu wanted to do with her. "Please wait a moment, Madam Kong. I'll get ready."
Madam Kong frowned and said seriously, "Please hurry up, Madam. Don't keep the princess waiting."
Su Li smiled but didn't answer. He directly ordered Xiao Ye: "Take Madam Kong down to have some tea."
"Madame Kong, please..." Xiao Ye responded and asked Madame Kong to leave.
Madam Kong's expression instantly turned ugly. This Madam Pei still looked down upon her as always. Humph! She was just waiting to see her end up like that bitch Tao Ying!
Thinking of this, he said no more and walked out the door with a flick of his sleeves.
"Madam," Xiao Wu said with a worried look on his face, "Will Princess Rongfu do anything bad to you?"
On the way back from the horse farm, Su Li had already told Xiao Wu and the others her guess. They now knew that Princess Rongfu wanted to kill the lady for the sake of their master.
Su Li curled her lips and said, "Don't worry, Princess Rongfu is not stupid. If she wants to kill me, whether she wants to take Pei Ji into consideration or is afraid of the Duke's Mansion, she will not choose to do it in the Princess's Mansion to leave a handle..."
After leisurely washing up, Su Li took Xiao Ye out and then got on a carriage to Princess Rongfu's mansion.
When she arrived at the princess's mansion, she wanted to take Xiao Ye in, but she knew that they were men and could not enter.
Unexpectedly, the maid from the princess's mansion stopped Xiao Ye outside the door and said, "The princess wants to see Madam Pei alone."
"Madam..." Xiao Ye was a little worried.
Su Li only said: "Wait for me here."
Then he followed the maid into the house.
After entering the gate of the princess's mansion, the maid led her through the winding corridor, and it took a while before they arrived at the main courtyard of the princess's mansion.
This was the first time Su Li saw Princess Rongfu's mansion with her own eyes. Even though the original novel described it in detail, she could not experience the shock of being there.
The only word she could think of to describe it was "magnificent".
Whether it was the scenery outside the house, the decoration inside the house, or the various ornaments, the feeling she felt was sparkling and luxurious to the extreme.
At this time, Princess Rongfu, dressed in gorgeous clothes and with her hair adorned with pearls and jade, was squinting her eyes and half lying on a golden low couch.
The original novel said that Princess Rongfu had spent all her wealth accumulated over the years on food, clothing, housing and transportation. Su Li was curious and wondered if the low couch under her was made of gold.
She bowed and said, "Your Highness, I greet you. May your Highness be blessed."
Princess Rongfu slowly opened her eyes at this time. She did not let Su Li stand up, but lazily got up from the couch, walked up to her, walked around her, and looked at her carefully.
The more he looked at her, the deeper his frown grew.
The woman in front of me was not wearing any makeup, but her skin was as white as snow, her face was as delicate as a painting, and her every move was stunning. This vixen-like appearance was really annoying the more I looked at her!
She touched her face unconsciously. She had a round face that was once praised by her father as a symbol of peace and prosperity for the country and the people. She used to like it very much and was proud of it. But ever since she met Pei Ji and knew that Pei Ji liked women who looked like Su Li, she became more and more dissatisfied with her face.
She knew very well that without makeup, her appearance could not be compared with Su Li.
I don’t know if Pei Ji is so cold to her because she is not as pretty as her.
No!
She is of noble status, deeply loved by her father, and has a lucky destiny. No man in this world can refuse her!
As long as this woman is not around, Pei Ji will be hers sooner or later!
She looked down at him and said, "Madam Pei, do you know why I have asked you to come here?"
Su Li replied calmly, "I don't know. Please tell me clearly, Princess."
"Ha!" Princess Rongfu sneered and said directly, "Divorce Pei Ji and I will spare your life."
Half squatting was really tiring, so Su Li stood up and said with a smile: "So, what happened today was done by the princess?"
"How dare you!" The maidservant beside her suddenly scolded her harshly, "The princess didn't tell you to get up, and you dared to get up without permission! This is really rude!"
As she said this, she stepped forward and raised her hand to slap her. Princess Rongfu did not say a word to stop her, but looked at her with a smug sneer.
Of course Su Li would not let her succeed, so she grabbed the other person's hand and raised her other hand to slap her in the face twice.
"You little dog slave, I'm a lady of the imperial court. Who are you to dare insult a lady of the imperial court?"
Everyone in the capital already knew that Pei Ji was the eldest son and grandson of Duke Ji and the future heir to the Duke's throne. All that was missing was a formal ceremony to acknowledge his ancestors and return to his roots.
But Princess Rongfu sent someone to summon her from the Zhuangyuan Mansion, to the door of the Princess Mansion, and even in front of her, everyone kept calling her "Mrs. Pei". They were just pretending not to know and wanted to humiliate her by treating her as the wife of a minor official.
But even though there was no Duke's Mansion, and even though Pei Ji was only a minor official of the fifth rank, he was still an official with real power, and she was also a proper lady of the court. According to the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, the princess had no right to teach a lady of the court a lesson without reason, not to mention that it was the princess who deliberately made things difficult for her in the first place.
Of course, although the princess has no real power, her status is indeed noble. If she insists on humiliating the wife of a minor official, most people will endure it and accept it in order not to offend the princess.
But she was different. No matter what she did, Princess Rongfu would not let her go. Why should she suffer humiliation in vain for fear of offending her? It would be better for her to do whatever she wanted.
The maid was stunned by the two slaps. She covered her burning face and it took her a while to come back to her senses. She said in shock, "You! How dare you!"
She was the princess's first-class maid, and had never been treated like this by anyone except the princess!
"The princess didn't ask you to get up, yet you dared to do so on your own. This is disrespectful to the princess. How can I teach you a lesson?"
Su Li was not afraid at all, and said with a smile: "The princess made things difficult for me for no reason. Even if I report this to the emperor, I am still right."
The maid was furious: "You're right? So what? Do you know that the whole capital knows that our princess is of noble status and is the emperor's favorite princess?"
Su Li raised an eyebrow. Although her face showed an expression of knowing everything, she actually said, "I just arrived in Beijing. I really don't know anything about this."
They pretended not to know that she was the future wife of the Crown Prince of the Duke's Mansion. Couldn't she pretend?
