After dinner, Yin Qianhua watched a play with the girls for a while. Yun Ruonan didn't want to stay outside for long and wanted to go back to her room to rest.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Xiao Yao's skirt was soaked by the tea in the hands of the He family's maid who passed by her.
"Oh, Miss Xiao, I'm really sorry. I'm usually clumsy. You damn servant, why don't you kneel down and apologize to Miss Xiao?" He Jinzhi scolded the maid beside her.
"I'm sorry, Miss Xiao, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean it." The maid answered tremblingly.
"Why don't you kneel down?" He Jinzhi scolded.
"Forget it, she said she didn't mean it. I don't blame her. Please don't kneel. I can't bear it." Xiao Yao winked at Xiying. If she made this maid kneel in public today, then everyone in Kyoto would know tomorrow that the Xiao family had a willful and arrogant young lady.
"Our young lady has already said that this is not a big deal. In the Xiao family, no master has ever punished a servant for such a small matter. Our young lady would definitely not do that. However, we don't know what the rules in your family are."
Xiying supported the maid who wanted to kneel down with all her strength. Her face was calm, but she was very angry in her heart. What was wrong with these people rushing towards the young lady one by one? Her young lady was still young and could not block their way at all. It was really too much.
"What happened?" Yin Qianhua, who had gone out to send her daughter back, saw the young ladies gathered together and asked.
"Princess, it was my maid who accidentally splashed tea on Miss Xiao's skirt." He Jinzhi had tears in her eyes and spoke with a look of grievance. If someone didn't know the reason, they would definitely think that Xiao Yao was bullying others.
Xiying was not willing to let her young lady suffer such an injustice, and was just about to tell Princess Jing about Miss He's distortion of right and wrong and her own young lady's accusation.
Xiao Yao shook her head at Xiying and said, "Forget it. The party was about to end, so it's better to have less trouble than more." Besides, she was too lazy to argue with such a person.
For the past six years, Xiao Yao's life had been so peaceful and comfortable that she had almost forgotten the existence of white lotuses in this world. She hoped that her tolerance would fulfill her wish, and that Prince Yun would marry her. In that case, the world would have no more troubles than two.
Although Yin Qianhua wasn't at the scene, many of the people she left behind witnessed what happened. At this moment, a maid was whispering to her about what happened...
The more Yin Qianhua listened, the colder her eyes grew. If it weren't for her husband's sake, she would have kicked Miss He out of the house right then and there. Ping An was such a fool! Why did she have to endure this? Didn't she trust me to make the decision for her? This child had so many concerns.
"Ping'an, go change your wet clothes quickly. Be careful not to catch a cold. Qiuying, go get the princess's newly made brocade skirt that she hasn't worn yet, and give it to Ping'an to change into."
"In reply to your question, Princess, I have prepared some replacement clothes myself, so there is no need to trouble you. Besides, the princess has not worn any new clothes yet, so I absolutely cannot accept them." Xiao Yao refused firmly.
Yunjin is the most precious and rare fabric in Tianyu. Sometimes you can't buy it even if you have money. Very few people have the opportunity to wear this kind of dress.
Xiao Yao really didn't want to take advantage of the palace. For her, ordinary clothes were more comfortable to wear. Most of the clothes and underwear in her bedroom were made of fine cotton.
"You have been wronged here in the palace, so of course you must be compensated. Otherwise, how can your aunt have the nerve to pick you up to play here again in the future!" Yin Qianhua said this to Xiao Yao with a smile, without even looking at He Jinzhi from beginning to end.
The young ladies of each family were all smart people. How could they not see that Princess Jing was making the decision for Xiao Yao and ignoring He Jinzhi? Who could fail to see such a clear attitude? So at this moment, He Jinzhi's face was extremely ugly, and she stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
"I'll take you to change your clothes." Qiuying said kindly.
"I'll go with my sister too." Xiao Yuan held his sister's hand and snorted loudly in the direction of He Jinzhi. He thought to himself, when he got home, he would tell his grandfather that Miss He bullied his sister and let his grandfather smash the door of their house.
The Xiao sisters went to change their clothes, and the maid had already cleaned the place, making it look as if nothing had happened.
"Reporting to Princess Princess, the Ninth Prince and Young Master Mu have arrived, and the Crown Prince is accompanying them here!" A maid came to report.
"This..." Yin Qianhua looked at the young ladies around her. These people have reached the age where men and women should be separated. If they were asked to avoid it, some people would definitely complain. Not asking them to avoid it would also be unreasonable.
"Let's go sit in the side hall." Yuan Min bowed to Yin Qianhua and then took the Yuan sisters downstairs.
Seeing this, the other young ladies followed reluctantly. Alas! They had missed the chance to see the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince, Prince Yun, and Young Master Mu were all the most outstanding young men in Tianyu.
It seems that these people all follow General Xiao to learn martial arts. There is no guarantee that the Xiao family does not have the intention of currying favor with them. It seems that He Jinzhi is not completely unreasonable to target the young ladies of the Xiao family. Let them fight, preferably to the death. Several young ladies have come up with this idea.
"Aunt, please forgive me for being late," Ninth Prince Yun Yifan apologized upon seeing Yin Qianhua. He had actually wanted to leave the palace a long time ago, but when Empress Dowager Han learned he was coming to celebrate Princess Yi'an's birthday, she found a bunch of excuses to prevent him. Ultimately, it was only after the Emperor personally intervened and informed the Empress Dowager that Yun Yichen had invited him that he was finally allowed to leave. Even Mu Fengwu was delayed by him.
"I'm glad you came. You haven't eaten yet, right? Auntie will send someone down to prepare it."
"I'm starving. This guy has dragged me down so much today. I..." Mu Fengwu, who was about to find someone to complain to, was pushed by Yun Yichen and Yun Yifan from behind at the same time. He turned around and glared at the two of them. Even if you two are brothers, you shouldn't bully others like this.
Yun Yifan made a "Don't say" gesture with his mouth to him, and Mu Fengwu belatedly remembered that Queen Mother Han and Princess Jing had a bad relationship, so he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Yin Qianhua pretended not to notice the little trick between the three people. She took a sip of tea and then ordered, "Qiuyue, go to the kitchen and ask them to prepare a banquet. They need to have fish slices in fermented rice and chestnut chicken."
"Thank you, Imperial Aunt." It's a very happy thing to have someone remember your taste. The Ninth Prince was a little confused. The Imperial Aunt was obviously a very nice person, so why did the Imperial Grandmother always make things difficult for her and target her?
"I knew that my aunt loves me the most. It would be even better if there was another serving of stewed mutton." Mu Fengwu said more and more.
"It's good that you have something to eat. I don't think you're hungry." Yun Yifan retorted.
"Tell the kitchen staff to put the food in the front hall for you. Achen will keep them company."
"This is our gift to Sister Ruonan." Yun Yifan and Mu Fengwu asked someone to present the two gifts.
Xiao Yao, who had changed her clothes and was returning, stopped not far from the stage.
"Miss Xiao, why don't you leave?" Qiuying asked.
"There seem to be a lot more people in the yard. Could it be that there are more guests? I won't go over there yet. Aunt Qiuying, you go and do your work first!" Xiao Yao looked around and then asked.
Qiu Ying looked around and found that there were indeed many more people in the yard, and judging from their clothes, they were all guards from the palace.
"How about I take you to the side hall to sit for a while?" Qiuying asked.
"On the way back, I saw a pavilion. I'll just go sit there first."
"How can this be? I'd better take you to the side hall." Qiu Ying knew that her master valued the young lady in front of her very much, and her most important task today was to take good care of the two sisters, so she must not abandon the two sisters to do other things.
Xiao Yuan saw the two people standing there talking and not moving forward. After waiting for a while, she became impatient. Anyway, the stage was very close, so she didn't even say hello and trotted over.
"Ruyi." When Xiao Yao realized that the person was missing, Xiao Yuan had already run far away. She wanted to shout loudly, so she could only watch Xiao Yuan rush into the stage.
"Could you please help me check on my sister, aunt? I'll wait for your news in the side hall." With Princess Jing around, nothing bad should happen, so Xiao Yao didn't plan to follow.
"Don't worry, Princess, you're here. Nothing will happen. I'll take you to the door of the side hall and then go take care of the second young lady." Qiuying insisted.
"Then I'll trouble you, aunt." Xiao Yao originally wanted to avoid those boring young ladies, but in order to allow Qiuying to take care of her sister faster, she had to compromise.
When Xiao Yuan ran to the place, he realized that something was wrong. He wanted to go back to find his sister, but was stopped by Yin Qianhua.
"Why did you come back alone? Where are your sister and Qiuying?"
Xiao Yuan glanced at Yun Yichen and the others without replying, but just pointed in the direction they came from.
"Hey, where did this little girl who suddenly appeared come from? When I saw her, why did I suddenly think of the fat boy?" Mu Fengwu was always the one who spoke the fastest. The little girl in front of him had the same figure as the fat boy from the Xiao family, and looked just as festive.
"You have good taste this time." Yun Yichen replied. His eyes involuntarily looked behind Xiao Yuan. Why wasn't the little girl there?
"What do you mean?" Not only Mu Fengwu was waiting for an answer, Yun Yifan also looked at Xiao Yuan carefully. This little girl did have some similarities with the little fat boy Xiao Qi.
"This is Mr. Xiao's granddaughter." Yun Yichen introduced the two people.
"Aunt Princess, can you take me to find my sister?" One Prince Yun was scary enough, and now two more suddenly appeared. Xiao Yuan regretted it very much at this moment. Why didn't he just stay with his sister honestly?
"Twins, a boy and a girl! But she doesn't look like Xiao Zhuangzhuang at all?" Mu Fengwu came close to Xiao Yuan, almost sticking to the other's face, and looked at and studied Xiao Yuan's appearance with a seriousness he had never had before.
