"Nanli?" Ji Fengyao didn't realize for a moment that was where.
"Your Highness, Nanli is Consort Jia's motherland," Lin Shuang said solemnly, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Didn't Nanli get destroyed? They still dare to call themselves royal envoys. Have they lost their minds?" Ji Fengyao lowered her head and carefully strained out the residue from the flower juice. She said indifferently, "Tell them that I don't know anything. Tell them to come to the prince if they have any problems."
"Huh?" The little girl was stunned.
Is that really how you're supposed to respond? That's so crude and inappropriate.
But Ji Fengyao didn't give any further instructions, so the little girl had no choice but to go.
A little while later, just as Ji Fengyao and the three maids finished making the first bar of flower soap, the little maid came again, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What happened? Did you get hit? You look like a quail." Ji Fengyao looked her over carefully, but she didn't look like she had been hit.
"Your Highness, they said..." the little maid stammered, not daring to speak.
"What did you say?" Ji Fengyao straightened up, clapped her hands, and gestured to the old woman Cui next to her to bring her water to wash her hands: "Just say it. I will only talk to outsiders about this, not my own people."
"The envoy from the Southern Kingdom said they are looking for the Queen, not the Prince!" the little girl shouted with her eyes tightly closed.
Oh ho, they've come all this way just to cause trouble.
The maids' expressions changed upon hearing this, but Ji Fengyao smiled and said, "Help me wash and change. I can't refuse to see someone who has come knocking on my door, or they'll think I'm guilty."
Upon hearing this, Xique, Linshuang, and Bailu all put down what they were holding, washed their hands, and went inside to help Ji Fengyao change her clothes.
Lin Shuang brought over the formal attire for Princess Su to wear when meeting guests. Ji Fengyao thought that it wasn't necessary to be so formal when meeting a few stray dogs, but then she put it on and had Bai Lu apply the most elaborate makeup to her.
This argument was actually quite similar to a battle between two armies; the first thing to consider was the momentum of both sides. Since the other party had the audacity to use the airs of the envoy of the Southern Li King to intimidate her, she naturally had to respond by displaying the same imposing presence as the Princess Consort of Su.
After Lin Shuang and Bai Lu finished dressing Ji Fengyao, Xi Que couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, Miss, you look so beautiful in this outfit! Even if Bai Lu wasn't saying this, I think you've suddenly become much more beautiful these past two days."
Ji Fengyao glanced at the blurry image in the bronze mirror. The woman in the mirror was adorned with gold hairpins and phoenix ornaments, her hair was like clouds, and she wore a purple-gold robe that exuded nobility. Her bright red lips were eye-catching, which made her small face, which was about the size of a palm, appear even more delicate and her skin was fair and tender.
Her appearance in this life is somewhat similar to her original appearance.
I suddenly remembered that my master had once said she was good-looking.
As Ji Fengyao was leaving, she called out to Hei Xiao, but there was no response; she didn't know where he had gone.
Anyway, this guy is sometimes here and sometimes not, so Ji Fengyao has gotten used to it.
Ji Fengyao summoned four of the guards from the courtyard and then led a large group of maids from Hui Nuan Pavilion to the front courtyard.
Upon arriving at the main hall, Ji Fengyao didn't even glance at the people in the hall, and went straight to sit down in a chair on the right side of the main hall.
After settling down and leisurely sipping her tea, Ji Fengyao lifted her eyelids and glanced indifferently at the person seated on her left below.
He had long, slender eyebrows and his features bore a resemblance to Consort Jia.
At this moment, he was staring intently at her, a hint of amazement in his eyes. He had faint dark circles under his eyes and a pale complexion, clearly indicating that he was a man who indulged in wine and women.
When he met Ji Fengyao's clear, water-like eyes, the man seemed to pause for a moment, revealing a lecherous look.
