After the real daughter was reborn, she cheated all the way

160 The princess looked disdainful and said, "They all think they are extraordinary. How can I look down on them?"

"You are too picky. You will be sixteen next year. You should get married soon. Otherwise, it will be even harder to find a suitable one. I think the son of Marquis Changping is good. He is handsome and has made great achievements in studies. Why don't you marry him?"

"He hasn't even gotten married yet, but he already has three concubines. Why would I marry a man like him? He will definitely have many concubines by then."

"That man doesn't have three wives and four concubines. The higher the status of a man, the more women he has. You are the eldest princess, how dare he bully you? As for those inferior things, it's just a matter of a word to kill or beat them. As long as they don't cause trouble for you, just pretend you don't see them."

The eldest princess looked at the Empress Dowager, "Grandmother, when I was a child, you always told me to follow my heart. Why did you say so many things that go against my heart today? Even if those people seem to be so low-class, they are not worthless. They still have their own lives. If they can, they don't want to be the eldest princess, but want to be concubines? Maybe they are vain, but isn't that because they were not born rich? What's wrong with them working hard to live a good life?"

"How can you compare with those lowly people?"

"Grandmother, have you forgotten what you once said? We are all human beings. There is no need to treat them with condescension. They are also our people."

The Queen Mother looked at the eldest princess with complicated eyes and said, "It's amazing that you still remember what I said before. It's a pity that people always change."

The Queen Mother smiled bitterly and said, "I have forgotten what I was like before."

"Grandmother is a very kind and gentle person. When my mother gave birth to me, she was weak and it was you who brought me to your side and raised me."

The Queen Mother didn't want to hear an answer, so even though the eldest princess replied, she didn't say much.

Her eyes looked into the distance, not knowing where they were heading. The scene was devastated, and her eyes seemed to have thousands of words to say.

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "I am a little tired and want to rest. You can go first."

The eldest princess took Yu Jiahe away from the Queen Mother's palace.

Xie Min'er followed behind the two of them.

"Why don't you stay at my house for a few days?" the eldest princess invited Yu Jiahe.

Yu Jiahe looked at Xie Miner.

"If you want to take the little maid with you, that's fine." The eldest princess thought that she was reluctant to part with the little maid.

Yu Jiahe explained, "This is my friend, not a maid."

The princess took a serious look at Xie Min'er, then smiled and said, "Looking closely, she really doesn't look like a maid. You two should come to my princess's mansion as guests."

Yu Jiahe was about to refuse, but the princess spoke again, "I am too weak, especially since the person who poisoned me is hiding in the dark. I don't know where they poisoned me. I hope you can go back with me and find the person hiding in the dark."

Since the eldest princess said so, Yu Jiahe naturally would not refuse.

I just don’t know if Xie Min’er is willing to go.

She nodded to Yu Jiahe, "Then we will bother the princess."

"I should thank you anyway."

She would actually be able to enter the Princess's Mansion one day, which was something Xie Min'er had never dared to imagine before.

When she goes back and tells her grandmother about this, she must be surprised.

Not only did he meet the Empress Dowager, but he also lived in the Princess's Mansion, which was a great honor.

Yu Jiahe thought about it carefully and said to the princess, "Since the enemy is hiding in the dark, we must remember not to alert them."

The princess nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. I will use the Royal Grandmother's illness to keep you in the Princess's Mansion. I will have someone find some books about Gu worms for you. You can read them in your spare time."

Yu Jiahe did not refuse the eldest princess's kindness.

She really wanted to study the matter of the poisonous insects carefully.

It’s a pity that there is not much information at hand, and such books are very difficult to find. However, since the eldest princess has come forward, it will surely be much simpler.

Yu Jiahe and Xie Min'er were assigned to the same courtyard, and their rooms were closely connected.

"I think you two must be tired. Take a rest first. I have already told the people below to prepare food. Please wait for a while and we will eat together then."

The eldest princess signaled Yu Jiahe with her eyes.

Yu Jiahe immediately understood what the eldest princess meant.

She was afraid that someone would poison her food.

I'll definitely have to check it carefully when the time comes.

Soon, people started to set out the food.

Yu Jiahe didn't expect that the eldest princess, as a royal daughter, would have such simple food. It was just two vegetarian dishes, two stir-fried meats, and a clear soup.

Not only Yu Jiahe, Xie Min'er also didn't expect that the food she ate in the mansion on a daily basis was better than what the eldest princess ate.

Doesn't she welcome me to the Princess's Mansion?

The two of them guessed silently in their hearts.

The eldest princess didn't seem to expect that the food would be so simple. She looked at the person who served the food.

"Didn't I tell you that we had guests today? Why are you only serving these few dishes?"

The maid knelt down immediately and said, "I have already told the people in the kitchen that they need to cook a few more dishes today. The dishes were covered with a cover just now. I didn't expect that the dishes would be like this. I will go to the kitchen and ask them to cook them again."

The eldest princess frowned and looked at the dishes on the table. "Take it down and eat it."

The maid responded.

"Please wait a moment." She said apologetically.

"There have been more and more disasters in recent years. I have used all the cash I have to send to the disaster victims. I hope you two will forgive me for any inadequacies in my hospitality."

Yu Jiahe quickly waved her hands, "The princess has served the country and the people and should be loved by everyone. How could she not be able to entertain Zhou?"

Xie Min'er also said, "The disaster victims can't even eat this kind of food. It's a blessing for us to be able to eat this kind of food. Some people even have trouble getting enough to eat. I just hope that there will be fewer disasters in the future so that everyone won't starve to death."

They lived in the vicinity of the capital, at the feet of the emperor, so naturally their life was pretty good.

But I have also heard about disasters in distant places.

The princess looked at Yu Jiahe with satisfaction, then at Xie Miner, "I was right. You two are both good people."

There was sincerity in both of their eyes, and no signs of secret disdain.
