She looked like a large pink flower.
"Your Highness!"
Hearing the shout, the group turned to look. Jin Jinzhi frowned when he saw the flamboyant woman in front of him.
The strong visual impact made Jin Jinzhi feel quite uncomfortable.
When Cao Canjun saw someone rushing towards his prince, he quickly drew his sword and stood in front of Jin Jinzhi.
[This person looks unfamiliar. Could he be here to propose marriage again?]
"Miss, is there anything I can help you with?"
Having served Jin Jinzhi for so many years, Cao Canjun had seen his fair share of beauties throwing themselves at him, but today this one was actually blocking the entrance to the mansion.
Ever since he witnessed Yun Duoduo's influence on Jin Jinzhi, he felt that Jin Jinzhi had become much more benevolent than before, and he would not allow anyone to disrupt the prince's positive changes.
He doesn't want to go back to that hellish mode.
"His Highness has important matters to attend to. Miss, please speak frankly."
Cao, the military advisor, urged the woman in front of him to hurry up, as they were very busy. If they didn't finish their work today, they would have to stay up all night again.
Shangguan Wanwan originally planned to throw herself directly into Jin Jinzhi's arms. She had even specially used the most alluring perfume powder from Loulan today.
Unexpectedly, a dark, ugly creature suddenly appeared and blocked their path, causing Shangguan Wanwan to stop in her tracks.
Seeing that Shangguan Wanwan was unsteady on her feet, Dangui quickly reached out to support her.
"Your Highness, yesterday, a horse galloped by on the street, and I was fortunate enough to receive your help."
Shangguan Wanwan shyly smoothed her hair, looking at Jin Jinzhi with bashful eyes.
"A life-saving grace..."
"Not worth mentioning."
Jin Jinzhi interrupted her without letting her finish speaking.
"Old Cao, prepare the horses! His Majesty is still waiting for me in the palace!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Your Highness..." Shangguan Wanwan was about to speak when Yan Ying blocked her way.
“Miss, the Prince has important matters to attend to. Besides, it’s not uncommon for the Prince to save people in the street, so you don’t need to worry about it.”
"Please leave now, farewell."
Yan Xiang was used to seeing these young women blocking the gates of the mansion, begging to marry him. As Jin Jinzhi's personal bodyguard, he naturally had the duty to help him block these unwanted suitors.
However, the woman today did look somewhat different from the women in the capital, and Yan Ying couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.
Shangguan Wanwan and Danggui could only watch as the three of them left.
"This is outrageous! The two guards didn't even bow to me!"
After being rejected, Shangguan Wanwan was in a bad mood and clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
"Princess, it seems that not many people from the Prince of Jibei's residence went to the Ninth Princess's coming-of-age ceremony, so it's normal that they didn't recognize you..."
"You dog's eyes don't recognize this princess."
"Yes, it's all because these people are blind to the great man."
"Princess, why don't we go back first?"
Dangui tugged at Shangguan Wanwan's sleeve. Seeing that the guards at the entrance of the Jibei Prince's Mansion were all staring at them, Dangui felt a little scared.
"Let's go, we'll come another day!"
Oh, shall we come another day?
Dangui steeled herself and quickly followed Shangguan Wanwan away.
...
The midday sun generously warmed the earth. Inside the princess's residence, Jin Zhuangzhuang and Yun Duoduo sat chatting in the front hall.
"Sister Duo, I'm here to freeload again!"
"Come in and sit down."
Yun Duoduo heard the birds making noise and guessed that Jin Zhuangzhuang had come over.
"Aunt Xiang, please have Aunt Wu prepare lunch."
After pouring tea for the two of them, Ah Xiang went to the kitchen to instruct people to prepare lunch.
"Sister Duo, these two birds are strange. As soon as they come here, they start chirping non-stop."
Jin Zhuangzhuang placed the birdcage on the table and poked the heads of the parrot and quail.
"Once we returned to the Jin residence, it was much quieter."
Yun Duoduo smiled because she could understand what they were saying and communicate with them!
"How come this silly quail is so fat?"
Yun Duoduo looked at the fat bird in the cage, wondering what it had been eating.
"Has your third brother sent you any insects lately?"
Yun Duoduo had a gossipy look on her face. She could tell that her third brother, Yun Yishu, cared a lot about Jin Zhuangzhuang.
Although he always said that Zhuangzhuang was ugly, he still cared about her in his heart.
"Don't even mention it. This shiitake mushroom (the name of the quail) got fatter and fatter because it ate the Third Prince's insects."
Yun Duoduo covered her mouth and laughed.
Hearing the two talking about him, the quail started quacking incessantly.
“Look at her, she’s getting all worked up just talking to her!” Jin Zhuangzhuang poked Quail’s head.
Seeing that the quail was squawking even louder, Yun Duoduo knew that she had something to say, so she sent Jin Zhuangzhuang away. "Zhuangzhuang, Aunt Wu's spicy chicken is ready. Can you smell the aroma?"
"Really? Then I want to go over and eat it fresh out of the pot!"
"The weather is so cold these days, it'll be cold by the time you bring it over."
"It tastes best when it's fresh out of the pot!"
After Jin Zhuangzhuang left, Yun Duoduo opened the birdcage and released the two birds inside.
The parrots and quails flapped their wings and flew out.
"Come out, go fly for a while, get some fresh air, and come back as a good boy later..."
"Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!"
"Ah, ha, finally out! That felt great!"
The parrot, unwilling to stay indoors, eagerly ran out the window. "Okay, okay, I'm going for a stroll outside. I'll be right back!"
The parrot would never run away. It was very satisfied with the good food and drink here, and the occasional chance to see the world.
Yun Duoduo looked at the quail gripping the feather duster tightly with its two claws and asked, "Any interesting news lately?"
Back in Fu Shuang Palace, this silly bird became Yun Duoduo's informant.
"What benefits would it bring if I told you?" Quail raised its head, looking at Yun Duoduo with a smug expression.
Yun Duoduo looked at it with amusement. This silly bird actually tried to negotiate with her?
"Same as always, one message, one spicy snack!"
"A woman went to your husband's mansion today." Quail was very straightforward when it came to intelligence, stating the key information that Yun Duoduo would care about.
"There was a woman?"
“Yes, a woman, a woman! That woman isn’t as pretty as you, but she’s more unique,” Quail continued chattering.
[A woman went to see Sumire's brother?]
Not as pretty as me, but more unique?
What kind of description is this? Yun Duoduo was confused. Aren't all women similar? What does "unique" mean?
Could you elaborate?
"That's a different price." The quail raised its head again, this time even higher.
"Hey, you..."
Yun Duoduo cursed the silly bird in her heart, but she was eager to know the news.
"I'll make you another grilled sausage!"
