Everyone was stunned when they saw the golden Qiao Linxi. Was this a bumpkin from a remote area? They were afraid that they had some misunderstanding about "remote area".

Qiao Linxi stepped forward, smiled at everyone, and introduced herself: "Hello everyone, I am Qiao Linxi."

"Hello, Miss!"

Everyone greeted Qiao Linxi in unison, which made old lady Qiao at the back very angry.

What did she say? Qiao Linxi would definitely win everyone's hearts when she entered the mansion.

"Princess, please give me your imperial edict and I will read it to you again."

Qiao Linxi finally understood Gu Changfeng's intention of keeping this eunuch. It was to support her.

Qiao Linxi took out the imperial eunuch from his sleeve and handed it to the young eunuch. The young eunuch took the imperial edict and read it aloud.

The servants below were stunned, and when they saw the imperial edict, they all knelt down, including Old Mrs. Qiao who was sitting in the room, who also knelt down with the support of Qiao Wan'er.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that the Qiao family has a daughter named Qiao Linxi... and hereby appoints her as Princess..."

"Grandmaster, you are a blessed man. As soon as your granddaughter came back, she earned you the title of Princess."

Everyone was stunned. Princess? Qiao Linxi went from a country bumpkin to a high and mighty princess in the blink of an eye. Isn't this a quick turnaround?

Old Madam Qiao was still upset when she saw Qiao Linxi being canonized as a princess. She thought that Qiao Linxi looked down on the status of the eldest daughter of the Qiao family and went to the palace to ask for the status of a princess.

Old Master Qiao didn't think too much about it. He just felt that Qiao Linxi was his granddaughter, and he would be happy if she had a promising future.

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Qiao Linxi took the imperial eunuch's hand and handed him a bag.

The young eunuch was not polite. He took it and put it into his sleeve, saying, "Then I will go and report to Chief Steward Gu."

After that, the young eunuch said to the two maids behind him: "Take good care of the princess. If anything goes wrong, you will lose your lives."

After the young eunuch left, Qiao Linxi took the imperial edict and saw a group of people kneeling in the yard. Then he asked them to stand up.

"Everyone, get up. I won't stay for many days. I will leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Old Master Qiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Qiao Linxi. His mind was already calculating. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, he would try to keep Qiao Linxi and ask her to wait until Qiao Waner's wedding was over before leaving. After Qiao Waner's wedding was over, he would play a pitiful role and ask her to leave after the New Year.

Hey, I am smart after all.

"Princess, please take your seat."

"Taifu, you don't have to do this. You are the elder and there are no outsiders here. You can call me Lin Xi, or Xixi."

"That's what my father calls me too," Qiao Linxi added.

"Then..." Old Master Qiao hesitated for a while, "Then let's call her Xixi."

Qiao Linxi nodded: "Yeah."

After sitting down at the table, the two maids sent by Gu Changfeng took care of Qiao Linxi diligently, serving her food and pouring her tea. For a moment, Qiao Linxi, who had never been served before, felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the people here are familiar with each other, so Qiao Linxi didn't feel too embarrassed while eating.

After lunch, Old Master Qiao had to take a nap, and Old Lady Qiao also went back to the house. Qiao Wan'er took the initiative to take Qiao Linxi to her yard.

Seeing that the two were getting along well, Old Master Qiao was very relieved. At first, he was worried that the two would become extremely jealous when they met.

Qiao Linxi followed Qiao Wan'er towards Huafang Pavilion in the west courtyard. The further they walked, the more desolate the scene became. Qiao Linxi smiled silently.

When he arrived at the gate of Huafang Pavilion, Qiao Linxi looked at the shabby courtyard and burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at? It's because grandma is kindhearted, otherwise you wouldn't be worthy of living in the Qiao Mansion and would only be able to sleep under the bridge."

Qiao Linxi adjusted her golden hairpin carelessly and looked at Qiao Wan'er with a smile: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that there was such a shabby courtyard in the residence of the Crown Prince's tutor. It really opened my eyes."

Qiao Wan'er blushed a little at what Qiao Linxi said, but she still straightened her back and said, "There's no empty yard in the mansion, so you'll have to make do with it."

"Alright, alright, I won't be staying for a few days, so don't act like I'm making things difficult for you."

Qiao Linxi waved at Qiao Wan'er and stepped over the threshold, lifting her skirt.

"Princess Princess, this..."

The maid who followed Qiao Linxi couldn't help but feel angry when she saw the weed-covered yard.

This Qiao Linxi is the apple of their master's eye. How dare Qiao Wan'er humiliate her like this?

She could imagine the consequences if the young master found out. Could the Qiao family withstand the young master's wrath?

The maid shuddered. She seemed to see the scene of the entire Qiao family being killed.

"It doesn't matter. Qiao Wan'er intends to humiliate me. If she wants to assert her sovereignty, then let her do it. I can't stay for a few days anyway."

The maid followed Qiao Linxi into the yard. There were some scratches on the tables and chairs in the house, and it was obvious that they had not been cleaned carefully.

When they arrived at the bedroom, looking at the quilt that was so old that it turned white, Qiao Linxi pursed his lips. This Qiao Wan'er was really childish.

"Oh my God!"

The sudden scream from the system stunned Qiao Linxi.

Qiao Linxi: What's wrong?

"That Qiao Wan'er is actually twenty years old."

Qiao Linxi: What?

Qiao Wan'er is twenty years old? How come she talks and acts like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old?

"Yes, she is indeed twenty years old. Her mother gave birth to her not long after her father ran away from home."

He is twenty years old, but still dresses like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old, pretending to be young.

"Princess, this quilt..."

The maids left by Gu Changfeng were named Qingyu and Qinghe. It was Qingyu who was speaking now. She looked at the quilt and instantly became extremely angry.

"How dare the Qiao family torture the group leader like this? I will tell the young master and let him vent his anger on behalf of the princess."

Qiao Linxi took off the golden hairpin on her head and said, "It's not a big deal, I'll just stay for a few days. You don't have to wait on me anymore, go back."

But as soon as she finished her words, the two maids knelt down instantly.

"My Lady, what did I do wrong? You want to drive me away?"

Looking at the two maids' horrified eyes, Qiao Linxi was a little puzzled: "I didn't say you did anything wrong, it's just that I'm not used to being waited on. I can do my own things."

Qingyu crawled to Qiao Linxi's feet on her knees, pulled her trouser legs, and said with tears in her eyes: "Please, Princess, don't chase us away. Otherwise, we will die."

"No way?" Is Gu Changfeng so violent? He kills people without asking why.

"Based on the information currently displayed, Gu Changfeng is indeed such a person."

The system's words stunned Qiao Linxi. After a moment, she asked the two maids to get up. "You get up first. If you don't want to leave, you can stay."

Qiao Linxi would never use that kind of whitish quilt with a strange smell. She took out her own quilt from the Qiankun Ding and asked the maid to spread it out, and then she heard a noise outside.
