Chapter 135 A concubine is a concubine, regardless of the social customs.
This is blatant humiliation.
Yun Si actually laughed, but that laugh made Jiang Wanning feel a little uneasy.
"What, is your older sister unwilling to teach you?"
She braced herself and continued to say things that were both shocking and infuriating: "Or is it that elder sister doesn't want His Highness to enter the bridal chamber with her younger sister?"
"Miss Jiang's upbringing is truly something I can't help but admire."
Yun Si truly admired her.
How could an unmarried woman say such things without blushing or skipping a beat?
Yes, that's shameless enough.
"What did you say?"
Jiang Wanning retorted angrily, "What I said is the truth. Your Highness and I are about to become husband and wife. What does this have to do with upbringing?"
"You said it yourself, it's about to, not already."
Yun Si calmly retorted: "Besides, there can only be one principal wife. You can ask the Empress Dowager if the imperial concubines in the palace can address the Emperor as husband and wife."
"..."
Jiang Wanning stood up angrily.
Yun Si said calmly, "A concubine is a concubine, no matter what etiquette is used, she is still a concubine."
"you……"
"What I said was just the truth. Is Miss Jiang angry?"
"..."
Jiang Wanning was so angry she was about to explode.
All her pride and boasting seemed utterly insignificant in the face of the word "concubine".
yes.
There can only be one principal wife, and in the future, there will only be one empress.
Originally, if she had behaved herself and kept a low profile as the princess, she wouldn't have planned to deal with her so quickly. But since this bitch dared to be so arrogant, then she shouldn't blame her for being ruthless!
Jiang Wanning suddenly smiled, then her expression changed again: "Your Highness, it was Wanning's fault. I offended you with my words. I apologize to Your Highness here."
After saying that, she curtsied and said, "I hope that Your Highness will forgive Wan Ning this time, since we will soon become a family."
"Miss Jiang, you flatter me."
Yun Si's attitude remained indifferent throughout, her emotions completely calm.
Jiang Wanning looked at her and wanted to pounce on her and tear her calm face apart.
She couldn't believe that this woman was really so calm and not jealous at all.
"It's good that Princess Consort isn't angry with Wan Ning."
Jiang Wanning forced a smile, which looked somewhat stiff.
Then, there was a moment of silence.
Yun Si glanced at her: "Miss Jiang, is there anything else?"
The meaning is quite clear: they are telling you to leave.
Jiang Wanning seemed not to understand at all, and sat down, saying, "Your Highness, I've been here for so long, why haven't you brought me a pot of tea?"
After saying that, she looked at Lan Xin and Lu Yu at the door: "How can you serve by the Princess's side? Don't you have any sense at all? Hurry up and make some tea!"
The two stood still.
I even felt like rolling my eyes.
Only after receiving a meaningful look from Yun Si did they reluctantly turn around to make tea.
Just as the tea was brewed, her personal maid, Yin Xue, arrived.
As soon as Yin Xue entered the room, Yun Si could tell that she was a trained martial artist with light and graceful steps.
"Miss, I heard you were bullied at Prince Xiao's residence. I've come to take you home."
As soon as Yin Xue arrived, she gave Yun Si a disapproving look.
He exudes the air of a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the martial arts world).
It's clear that this is no ordinary maid; she exudes a strong aura of hostility.
His martial arts skills must be quite high.
"That's not true."
Jiang Wanning explained with a smile, "I get along very well with Princess Consort, Yin Xue, don't be rude."
That being said, the look she gave Yin Xue conveyed a completely different meaning.
Yin Xue received her gaze, and the corners of her lips curled up almost imperceptibly before she lowered her head and said, "Yes."
Then, she walked towards Yun Si, raised her sleeves and bowed: "This servant greets Princess Xiao and pays her respects."
Yun Si glanced at her raising her sleeve, then brushed it against the edge of the table, saying calmly, "No need for formalities."
"Your Highness, please have some tea."
Jiang Wanning picked up her teacup and said with utmost sincerity, "I have offended you just now, sister. I apologize to you again with tea instead of wine."
Yun Si gave her a half-smile, then looked at the cup of tea in front of her.
It turns out that there really are people in this world who are foolish without even realizing it.
Like a clown.
"Why isn't your sister drinking?"
Jiang Wanning seemed a little nervous again, staring intently at her with a wronged expression on her face: "Sister, do you not want to forgive Wanning?"
Standing at the door, A-Wu had an urge to rush over and tear her mouth apart.
She called me "sister," "sister," "sister" too!
Ah Wu's fist, clenched under her sleeve, made a cracking sound.
Lan Xin was worried that she would act impulsively and make things worse, so she and Lu Yu quickly pulled her aside and whispered, "Master knows what's going on. Don't do anything rash. If something happens to her in our Qiwu Garden, we won't be able to explain it."
“Miss Jiang, you are overthinking it. I have never been angry with you, so there is no question of forgiveness.”
Yun Si slowly picked up the cup of tea, brought it to her lips, and was about to drink when she suddenly stopped: "However, Miss Jiang, please still call me Princess Xiao."
Jiang Wanning stared intently, as if afraid others wouldn't notice anything, just waiting for her to drink it.
"Alright, Princess Xiao, since you're not angry, then quickly drink this cup of tea, and we'll get along well from now on."
Yun Si curled her lips into a cold smile.
Under Jiang Wanning's tense gaze, he finally slowly drank the cup of tea.
Jiang Wanning and Yin Xue exchanged a glance, a sly smile of triumph flashing in both of their eyes.
"Princess Xiao, could you show me around the manor? I'd like to familiarize myself with the surroundings beforehand."
Worried that Yun Si would refuse, Jiang Wanning's tone became cautious.
His malicious intent was practically written all over his face.
Jiang Wanning believed that since this was in the Xiao Prince's Mansion, on Yun Si's own territory, Yun Si would not be too wary.
But she didn't consider that her fickle nature would make anyone suspect her of having ill intentions.
She alone treats everyone else like fools.
Yun Si didn't know that it was because Jiang Wanning had a noble status since childhood, and everyone around her doted on her.
They even acted alongside her to highlight her "intelligence," which gave her the illusion that she was so clever that she could succeed at anything.
Yun Si put down her teacup, her slender fingers gently stroking the rim, and looked up at Jiang Wanning: "Miss Jiang, where would you like to go?"
Jiang Wanning was delighted to see her agree and quickly said, "Anything is fine. I've heard that the scenery in the back garden of the Prince's mansion is exceptional. I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to take Wanning to see it?"
“Alright.” Yun Si stood up. “Miss Jiang, please follow me.”
She walked out first, her demeanor composed, as if she were simply entertaining a guest.
Jiang Wanning and Yin Xue exchanged a glance and immediately followed.
Yin Xue seemingly unintentionally lagged behind by half a step, blocking Lan Xin and Lu Yu from following, her tone carrying a touch of the roughness of a江湖人 (jianghu person, a person from the martial arts world): "My young lady wants to have a private conversation with the Princess Consort, you don't need to follow."
A commanding tone.
Lan Xin and Lu Yu looked at Yun Si with anger on their faces.
Yun Si didn't turn her head, but simply said, "It's alright, you can wait here."
After leaving Qiwu Garden, Jiang Wanning tried to take Yun Si's arm in a seemingly affectionate manner, but Yun Si subtly avoided him each time.
She wasn't annoyed; she continued to smile and chat, pointing at various sights and asking all sorts of questions, though her mind was clearly elsewhere.
Instead, he secretly observed Yun Si's condition.
Yun Si turned around unintentionally and realized that Yin Xue had not followed either.
Her expression remained unchanged, but she didn't realize that the one leading the way had become Jiang Wanning.
"Your Highness, shall we go take a look over there?"
"there?"
Yun Si looked in the increasingly desolate direction and pretended to frown: "Those are all abandoned courtyards. Let's not go there. It wouldn't be good if you got hurt."
"It's okay, I want to go and take a look."
Jiang Wanning was afraid that Yun Si wouldn't go, so he forcibly pulled her away.
As they approached the gate of an abandoned courtyard, Yun Si suddenly felt her legs give way and slowly collapsed.
"Princess Xiao?"
