Chapter 906: Zhilang Palace Turned Upside Down!
meter. It was adorned with various colors and patterns, elegant and beautiful.Below the umbrella was a round table, with a hole in the middle. The umbrella handle was inserted into the hole, and it wa..."Wonderful news!" The Third Princess, her skirt billowing behind her, rushed forward.
She was grinning from ear to ear, but her mouth wouldn't stop complaining. "You're finally here! I've been waiting for ages. If I catch a cold, it's all your fault!"
As she spoke, she took Jia Yin's hand and walked toward the door.
Jia Yin rolled her eyes and snorted, "You caught a cold, don't come to me, go find those guards at the gate!"
"If they hadn't bullied me, I would have come long ago. Luckily, my godfather sent me today, otherwise, I'm afraid I would have lost my innocence and wouldn't be able to marry in the future!"
"What's wrong" The Third Princess jumped in fright and asked, "How did the Imperial Guards bully you Wasn't it a body search"
"They wouldn't dare!" Jiayin glared, her voice laced with defiance. "If they dared to lay a finger on me, the courtyard in front of the palace gates would be piled high with their severed arms! How could my foster father let them get away with it"
"That makes sense," the Third Princess nodded, looking enlightened. "The Marquis treats you like his own daughter, how could anyone dare to bully you!"
As they spoke, they entered the main hall.
Two people took off their cloaks, and a palace maid brought warm water to serve the masters and wash their hands.
Before the third princess stood two palace maids, one holding a basin and the other a cloth.
But beside Jia Yin stood only a young palace maid, perhaps eight or nine years old, holding a basin of water and swaying unsteadily, as if she might splash water on Jia Yin at any moment.
When Grandma Hao saw this, she couldn't help but frown. She glanced at the blue-robed maidservant at the entrance and was about to speak.
He didn't want to speak first before the sound of her voice, but he opened his mouth and asked, "Princess, is your staff at Zhi Lan Palace insufficient"
The Third Princess looked over in confusion, and Jiayin pointed to the little maidservant and said: "How can such a weak little maidservant possibly have the strength to enter the palace and command others"
"If you spilled on me, I'd be embarrassed."
"This is a good place for us two, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll think you're deliberately trying to put me down!"
The Third Princess was immediately enraged and called for the blue-robed maid at the gate.
"Baoqin, come here! Did you arrange these people Take them away!"
"If you dare to make such a mistake again, get lost and go work at the laundry!"
Tai Gong's face flushed red, she hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty. She still wanted to explain a few things, but unfortunately, the Third Princess was impatient and waved her away directly.
Shui Ling and Shui Yun took over the task and quickly served their master with washing and drying hands.
The Third Princess led Jia Yin into the room and sat down on the soft bed.
The little fox arrived in a new place and was very curious. It wagged its bushy tail as it explored everywhere.
The third princess felt a tickle in her heart, so she called for a maidservant to bring some meat pastries to bribe the little fox. Finally, satisfied, she hugged it and stroked it several times.
But she also didn't forget to urge, "Jia Yin, tell me quickly, how did the Imperial Guard bully you I'll help you get revenge!"
Hearing this, Grandma Hao wished she could cover her young master's mouth with her hand.
That's the Imperial Guard, they deal with too many things. How could the princess take on so much
Unfortunately, the third princess didn't notice her expression at all.
Jia Yin peeled an orange and shared it with the Third Princess. Then, she nodded to Shui Ling.
Shuiling was also quick-witted and described what had just happened in a flurry of words.
The third princess was also furious, "What guts these dogs have!"
She gave her a quick glance and snorted, "So you see, I really don't want to enter the palace."
"It's one thing to give me a hard time at the palace gate, but to be splashed with dirty water on your own turf What's next, I wonder, countless others jumping out to bully me"
The Third Princess was quite embarrassed and said, "I don't know why Baoqin would be so rude! I'll have her leave right now and won't let her serve me in my palace anymore."
Jia Yin nodded directly, "It's good to get rid of her! She's your chief palace maid, whatever she does, everyone will think you ordered her."
"If she continues to act so recklessly and causes even bigger problems in the future, the blame will fall on you."
The Third Princess readily agreed, and directly instructed Grandma Hao, "Grandma Hao, you go take care of this. We should also remind everyone in the palace. Anyone who acts like Bao Qin, ignorant of proper decorum, should be escorted out."
Grandma Hao's heart was filled with anger, wishing she could grab her young mistress and shake her violently.
Even though Baoqin might look down on Kang Le County Princess because of past events and resort to petty tricks, she was indeed wrong.
But she's also one of the chief maids in Zhilan Palace!
Just because Consort Kangle said a few words, she was driven out!
Who is the master of this Zhilan Palace!
Jia Yin knew of course that Grandma Hao was unhappy, but she wasn't going to change her words.
She entered the palace ostensibly as a princess's tutor, and she would live in ZhiLan Palace afterward. This was her stronghold!
Since the princess now held no animosity towards her and even followed her advice, she naturally took this opportunity to suppress the maidservants of Zilan Palace.
Otherwise, with the Tai and Hou tigers lurking ahead and the servants of Zhi Lan Palace pulling her back, how could she protect herself!
At this time, the luggage finally arrived from the palace gate.
Jia Yin then said, "Your Highness, I'll leave Shuǐ Yún to pack our belongings. Let's go pay our respects to the Emperor!"
"Shuoyun is also a great cook. Let her show off her skills at lunchtime. We'll be back just in time for dinner."
"That's great!" The Third Princess nodded repeatedly, complaining, "The imperial kitchen's skills are good, but I've been eating their food for over ten years, and I'm tired of it.
"It's great that you brought a cook along! I'm going to be eating like a king now!"
Having said that, she instructed Hao Mamá, "Take Shuǐyún and her luggage to the side hall to settle down. If you need anything, just take it from my storeroom."
"Yes, princess," Háo Mama muttered helplessly, replying in a low voice.
Jia Yin also called Shui Ling, carrying a basket of fruit brought from home, and along with the Third Princess, put on their cloaks and walked towards the Imperial Study.
The third princess glanced at the fruit basket and protested, "When it was the fifth day, I had someone go find you bananas. Didn't you say there weren't any How come there's a whole bunch in this basket now"
Jia Yin shrugged and said, "There's only this one string left at home. I promised to keep it for Baozhu. When you sent people to look, of course I said there wasn't any."
"But Baozhu has something to do and went out suddenly, so I brought this string in."
"I am a princess, and you would actually refuse me for that little maid from the Jia family" The Third Princess stamped her foot, feigning indignation.
Jia Yin is not afraid of her, she deserves it.
"Bao Zhu and I have known each other for so many years, she always shares anything good with me, it's only fair!
Besides, we've only been good for two months. Before that, we were like enemies. Don't you think you would be biased too if you were in my shoes
“You… you are so audacious! You dare to speak to me like this in the palace, on my turf”
“Then hurry up and drive me out! I’ll go straight back to my stepfather’s house. There’s nothing good in this palace, everyone here bullies me, I don't want to live here anymore!”
"Oh, come on! I was just kidding. Don't take it seriously! I'm so bored when I have nothing to do. It's nice to have company for once, don't leave me!"
As they bickered and bantered, the two disappeared around a corner of the palace wall.
Grandma Hao sent them to the door. Seeing her master walking with joy, it was obvious that she was extremely happy.
Her mood is truly complex beyond measure...
It is rumored in the palace that the Empress Dowager dislikes Princess Kangle and brought her into the palace just to "educate" her.
Everyone is waiting for a showdown between Concubine Kangle and the Empress Dowager.
She couldn't figure out the outcome, nor did she want to.
She only knew that Zhi Lan Palace had changed ever since County Princess Kang Le arrived…zier was boiling with the duck and goose pot, directly picking up small green vegetables in the warm room, serving various meat balls, fish balls, prawns, etc., paired with freshly sliced mutton, it i...
