The vicious villain is pretending to be weak again

The assassination of Prince Duan's mansion was widely circulated the next day.

By the time Jiang Lingyi heard the news, the situation had evolved from an assassin into hundreds of death guards who broke into Prince Duan's mansion silently. Fortunately, the palace was heavily guarded to keep King Duan safe.

Hairpin, who turned into 'hundreds of death guards', stood one step away from Jiang Lingyi with a calm face.

Hearing this outrageous statement, Jiang Lingyi avoided others and looked sideways at Hairpin Xing.

"How did you send this gift?"

Hairpin was silent and didn't make a sound.

Seeing that she was silent, Jiang Lingyi didn't ask any more questions, but just asked.

"Aren't you hurt?"

Hairpin shook his head honestly, looking at Jiang Lingyi with a sincere and obedient gaze.

Seeing that she was not injured, Jiang Lingyi returned to normal.

Both Zan Xing and Xing Ai were given to her by the Queen Mother.

These two maids are sincere people, Xing Ai is kind and soft-hearted, but she is honest. In her previous life, she specially freed her from slavery, found a good family for her, and let her go out of the palace to live in peace. .

Only Hairpin Xing has been by her side.

She still remembers the determined and tenacious eyes of Hairpin Xing back then.

"Han Xing, in this life, swears to follow the master to the death."

She did.

After being reborn, Jiang Lingyi was filled with emotions. Even though she knew the future would be difficult, she was much happier than when she was alone.

And at this moment, Xing Ai came in to report.

"Master, the eldest lady is here."

Jiang Lingyi was not surprised when she heard Yuan Shi came, but just nodded her head to signal Xing Ai to bring her in.

In the hall, the maids stood quietly by the side, and they would not make a sound without the master's permission.

Yuan Shi walked into the house, seeing the maids in Jiang Lingyi's courtyard so peaceful, she felt a little emotional.

After all, it was brought up by the aunt in the palace, but it is not ordinary.

Her father and brother were very happy about the banquet yesterday, and specially sent someone to bring a large box of gifts over, asking her to thank Princess Baoxi for her support.

Now she knew that the old lady didn't like the little princess, so she was going to pay a visit.

As soon as it got hot, an ice basin was already installed in the house, so that Yuan Shi, who had just walked outside and was covered in heat, felt cool and pleasant when she entered the room. She was a little surprised when she looked at the four-legged ice basin of the bronze carved Qingluan.

She is the head of the family, so how could she not know that it's not really hot yet, so the family may have not issued ice orders yet, but she never thought that Yongchun Xuan would already have it.

Yuan Shi withdrew her gaze, suppressed the doubts in her heart, and looked up.

Then I saw the girl wearing a light green veil with a hundred bird pattern and a light green veil on her shoulders lazily leaning on the main seat.

She didn't wear makeup today, her black hair was only tied up with a long jasper hairpin, when she raised her eyes and looked over, her phoenix eyes shone brightly, and her lips were like vermilion.

What a beauty.

Yuan Shi secretly sighed.

"Meet the princess."

"Mistress, you don't have to be polite."

Jiang Lingyi nodded in an approachable manner, seeing that she did not show any dissatisfaction, Yuan Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said hastily.

"Today is my concubine's abrupt visit, and I hope the princess will forgive me."

Yuan's smile was eager, Jiang Lingyi nodded and said it was all right, and then she continued.

"At yesterday's banquet, the monkeys from my natal family were very happy after returning home. They said that they had never seen any lotus blooming better than the lotus in Fengwu Garden. They were grateful for the princess' forgiveness. I specially asked my concubine to come to give this thank you gift in the near future."

As Yuan Shi said, the maid who got her approval carried the cage in.

"My Yuan family has been in business for many years, and they have their own merchant ships in Quanzhou Port. Although this box of gadgets is not a priceless item, it is a clever idea. I hope the princess will accept it."

Her natal family is a woman's greatest confidence. When mentioning her own family, Yuan's back is straight, and her eyes are full of arrogance.

The family of merchants is amazing to be able to do what the Yuan family has done.

Looking at the box of exquisite and gorgeous imported goods, Jiang Lingyi thought about it.

She nodded abruptly.

"Have you eaten, ma'am?"

"I used the ice bowl..."

After she finished speaking, she seemed a little regretful, her brows knit together, she opened her mouth, and said again.

"But...it doesn't hurt to use some more."

Her straightforward appearance made people laugh, and Jiang Lingyi's clear eyes paused for a moment on her, and then moved away calmly.

"Yaoai, add another pair of bowls and chopsticks."

"Yes, my lord."

Yuan Shi stood where she was, even her old bark felt a little hot, but now that she has put her face under her feet, it would be hypocritical to take Joe.

Pretending to be calm, she straightened her back and straightened her skirt, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.

She had carefully selected Yongchun Garden for the little princess, but now that she came here again, she couldn't recognize it.

It's still Yongchunxuan, but I always feel that something has changed.

In the corridor, the female envoys coming and going were busy with their work, even a vase in the hall was polished.

In the small hall, beside the red sandalwood round table, two female envoys had been standing aside early on. When Yuan Shi approached, she realized that bamboo curtains were hung all over the hall, making it bright and cool.

Yuan Shi was feeling in her heart how well served by the people around the little princess, when she saw the sumptuous dishes on the table, she still couldn't help swallowing.

Jiang Lingyi had a tricky mouth since she was a child. In order to coax her to eat, the queen mother changed the imperial cook after another, and the last one left was an old imperial cook who had been in the palace for more than forty years.

Now, the imperial cook followed Jiang Lingyi out of the palace.

The weather is hot, and the small kitchen specially made a lot of refreshing and appetizing cold dishes, and then made lamb breast, five delicacies, and refreshing and crispy lotus root. Even Mr. Yuan couldn't help but marvel at the chef's superb craftsmanship.

Jiang Lingyi pays attention to eating and sleeping without talking. She looks lazy on weekdays, but she has never lost the bearing and etiquette that a royal noblewoman should have.

While eating, Yuan shi looked at Jiang Lingyi's actions absent-mindedly.

After the little girl ate this meal, she couldn't tell her likes and dislikes at all. She didn't speak, and the little girl next to her always tried and picked up the dishes.

I have heard that princes and nobles will need servants to try dishes, but now that I have seen it, Yuan's heart beats even harder.

She was a little uncertain about what the little princess meant.

If it were an ordinary lady, she would never eat at the same table as a merchant's daughter. Even though she is now the successor of Marquis Weiyuan, looking at the eager and fearful attitudes of those princes and noble ladies towards Jiang Lingyi yesterday, Yuan Shi felt that she was not so big face.

This time, Mrs. Weiyuanhou, who has always been bold and cautious, couldn't help but have a guess in her heart.

Is she trying to win her over?
