It was the first time that Li Xue was praised like this. Her face instantly turned red, and she felt a little embarrassed: "Yueli, I'll pull it up then."
One of them swung the fishing rod hard, and a fish jumped out on the grass. It was about the length of an arm and weighed about three pounds. The two of them approached the fish.
Bei Yueli squatted down, reached out and poked the cold fish body, and said softly: "Sister-in-law, wait a moment, I will call Ah Sheng to kill the fish, I will be there soon."
“…Okay.”
Jiang Sheng came over, took a look, and said with a smile, "Who caught it?"
"Sister-in-law is really good at fishing. She caught something on her first try. She's much better than me. I didn't catch any fish and could only eat and drink for free at night. Haha."
Bei Yueli had a cunning look on her face, and she looked very smart.
Jiang Sheng raised his hand and gently touched her head, saying softly, "Okay, you guys go rest over there, I'll take care of it."
The two of them sat in a sheltered spot, watching the people busy at the riverside, and whispered crickets: "Sister-in-law, it would be great if we could get to the Northern Wasteland together. Then I'd have someone to talk to."
"We are of similar age, so we can go out and play together in the future. I heard that there are many fun things to do in the Northern Wilderness, but it's a bit dry and windy."
"Well, I've never been out of the palace. I didn't expect it to be so interesting outside. Thank you, Yueli."
"Well, we're all family from now on, so why be so polite?"
Bei Yueli took out a bag of melon seeds from somewhere, opened it, and said with a smile: "Come on, sister-in-law, let's eat some melon seeds while watching. It's a good way to kill time."
"By the way, sister-in-law, do you like storybooks? If you like, I have a lot of them. I can get you a few more. I like the ones about the prince's little maid."
Li Xue's eyelids twitched: "Ah, Your Majesty, a little maidservant?"
"Yes, sister-in-law, don't you think this is very interesting? A powerful prince falls in love with a little maid, and in the end the little maid becomes the princess. How interesting it is."
"But this is absolutely impossible in the royal family. A maidservant can only be a concubine, never a princess."
Bei Yueli shrugged and smiled: "Sister-in-law, there are some other things about the eunuch and the princess. Do you want to take a look? It's just for fun, don't take it too seriously."
Li Xue had a conflicted look on her face. She wanted to see what it meant, but the secretary said she couldn't read it. So should she read it or not?
The nanny at the side said coldly, "Princess, those books are not presentable and are not suitable for a royal princess to read. If you want to read them, you should read the Four Books and Five Classics."
"Female rings and female virtue are what the royal family should look at."
Li Xue turned her head and glanced at her, then whispered, "Mammy, I was just chatting with Yue Li casually. You don't have to take it too seriously. Why don't you go to the carriage? You don't have to watch over me here."
The nanny looked at her deeply and continued chattering as if she didn't hear anything.
Bei Yueli curled her lips and said meaningfully, "Sister-in-law, as a princess, your dignity is also very important. I am still a servant after all. If I cross the line with my master, I will kill me."
"Mammy, I want you to go back to the carriage. If you don't want to, you don't have to serve me anymore."
"...Princess, what are you doing? I was assigned by the Empress to serve you. Please understand the difference and don't hurt the Empress's good intentions."
Li Xue's face turned colder. "I say, get back to the carriage. If you don't understand, I'll cut off your ear."
Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, the nanny's expression changed again and again. In the end, she didn't dare to say anything. She turned around and went back to the carriage, her back looking angry.
"Sister-in-law, you are right to do this. Life is short, and it is most important to enjoy life while you can. You have already left the palace. If you are bullied by a servant again, what is the point of leaving the palace?"
"Once you leave the palace, you should live freely."
When Li Xue thought about the fact that she was poisoned and only had one year left to live, the stone in her heart instantly dissipated a lot. Yes, as a dying person, there was no need for her to suffer any more.
After being wronged for more than ten years, is she going to be trapped in the identity of a princess for the last year? She doesn't want to. She wants to live every day as if it were her last.
Thinking of this, my mind suddenly became clear.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Yueli."
"Look, what storybooks do you have? Let me see them. Do you have a favorite genre?"
Bei Yueli's eyebrows curved, and she smiled and said, "Yes, I like the eunuch storybook type very much. You will know after my sister-in-law reads it. Don't tell my brother."
"Big Brother seems to be much harder to talk to than Ah Sheng. I feel a little scared when facing Big Brother. Anyway, it's best if we just do it secretly and don't let them know."
"As you say."
Soon Jiang Sheng finished the boiled fish. Li Xue looked at the boiled fish in the iron pot, which was covered with a layer of red chili peppers, and thought it must be very spicy.
Jiang Sheng picked up a piece, picked out the fish bones bit by bit, and then put the fish meat into the bowl of the person next to him.
Bei Yueli smiled sweetly: "A Sheng, you are so nice to me."
"Well, try it. I also added Sichuan peppercorns. It might be a little numbing."
The two of them were talking and laughing, and Li Xue looked at them with envy.
She glanced at the person next to her who looked like a banished immortal, lowered her eyes, picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, took a bite, and the spicy taste went straight to the top of her head. It was so spicy that she felt uncomfortable breathing.
Jiang Ling stood up and brought a glass of juice: "Come, take a sip of this and it won't be so spicy. It tastes a bit spicy. If the princess can't stand it, you can rinse it with water."
“Huff~~~”
Li Xue's eyes were filled with tears from the spiciness, but she still thought it tasted delicious and wanted to eat more, but it was a little too spicy. She looked a little embarrassed, and looked at him with wet eyes.
"Okay, I understand."
There was a bowl on the table. After Li Xue rinsed it with water, she quickly got used to the spicy taste and ate it one bite after another with her eyes shining.
Seeing this, the nanny interrupted, "Princess, don't be greedy. No matter how delicious the food is, you can't eat more than three times. Don't forget the palace rules, or you will be laughed at."
"...Madam, you've said too much again. Starting tomorrow, you don't have to serve in the carriage. Let Xiaozhu serve in the carriage. If you are not satisfied, you can return to the palace tomorrow."
"Princess!"
Li Xue raised her head and said proudly, "We are outside the palace now. I have the final say on what I want to do and what I don't want to do, and what we eat. You are just a servant, understand."
"If you've crossed the line, don't serve me anymore."
The nanny fell to her knees and begged for mercy, "Princess, spare me. I was just trying to remember the palace rules, which is why I said a few extra words. If you don't like it, I won't say any more in the future."
Li Xue ate slowly, pretending not to hear or see anything, until the nanny fell to the side. Then she spoke: "Come here, help nanny to rest in the carriage at the back."
When the palace maid heard this, she understood that the princess must have been angry. This nanny was also very tactless and deserved to be disliked.
