After Qin Jiaoxi and the little palace maid left, Bo Jiming stood guarding the stew pot and suddenly sighed:
"You all come with me. I'm here. The most important thing is that you keep the safety of the princess!"
Suddenly there was a gust of wind, but no one answered.
But since Bo knew clearly, the secret guards arranged by Meng Yinqin for Qin Jiaoxi must have followed him.
Outside the door, two little eunuchs heard the sound and ran over quickly.
"Master Shang, can you call us if you have something to do?"
Bo Jiming shook his head: "No, you go and have a rest first!"
After everyone in the side hall yard left, he calmly moved the stew pot and small stove into the space.
As soon as I packed up everything on the floor, the door to the side hall was pushed open.
"Why is Mr. Shang staying here alone?"
It was the Ninth Princess Zang Yan who came in.
Today, the Queen Mother will do everything possible to keep Qin Jiaoxi so that she can be alone with Mr. Shang.
Zang Yan has always been confident, but this confidence does not come from the mirror, but from all the men around her.
From the age of twelve, Zang Yan has been surrounded by the best young people in Beiling City, and all of them like to circle around her. Whenever she leaves the palace, no matter where she is, she will never lack suitors.
That's why Zang Yan looks down on those young men and insists on finding someone she likes to marry.
Now this businessman who suddenly appeared, a man who had never set his sights on her, has naturally become the most strange being to her and the one she wants to conquer the most.
Therefore, Zang Yan didn't feel there was anything wrong with entering Fengwu Palace, which no longer belonged to the Queen Mother.
"Mr. Shang? What are you thinking about?"
Zang Yan took the initiative to come over and sit across from him.
Bo Jiming slowly raised his head and glanced at her.
Zang Yan was overjoyed that she was finally here.
He finally looked at himself.
As long as Zang Yan meets her eyes, the young man will be deeply attracted to her.
When the time comes, what is an engagement or not?
As long as Young Master Shang breaks off the engagement, let's see how arrogant Qin Jiaoxi can be!
Before the pride in his heart dissipated, he saw Bo Jiming slowly frowning and stood up, taking a few steps back.
"Today, the eldest princess comes so uninvited and sits at the same table with ordinary people. Don't you think it's inappropriate?"
Zang Yan blinked and jumped up.
"What's wrong? If this princess hadn't come, wouldn't you and Princess J...Jiaoxi get along with each other in the same way?"
Bo Jiming slowly shook his head: "This is different!"
Zang Yanjiao smiled and said: "What's different? Is it just because she has a marriage contract with you? What else..."
"No!" Bo Jiming interrupted her: "It's not because of the engagement!"
"It's because she is many times more beautiful than you, the eldest princess. Sitting with her, ordinary people will not be afraid of the difference in status, let alone care about other people's gossip!"
Zang Yan looked stunned: "What did you say?"
Beautiful? Isn’t she just a beautiful ceiling?
Who among the people in the palace wouldn't say that she was as beautiful as a fish or a wild goose, and even the eleventh princess couldn't compare to her?
So Mr. Shang has something wrong with his eyes?
But I heard Bo Jiming say one word at a time: "I like Xi'er because she has flawless white skin, stunning appearance, stunning grace, and a figure that will definitely become more and more beautiful in the future."
, not because of her identity!”
"As for the eldest princess, apart from this identity, what else can you have that is the same as Xi'er?"
As he spoke, he reached out and took out a bright mirror, which was much clearer than a bronze mirror.
At least, the Ninth Princess could clearly see her slightly dull complexion under the makeup, as well as her facial features that were embellished by the makeup but still looked ordinary.
Compared with Qin Jiaoxi's fair and tender face that has no makeup at all...no, there is simply no comparison.
Zang Yan was shocked and reached out to touch her face.
"Mr. Shang, are you lying to me? What kind of monster is that in your hand? This is not a mirror!"
What was reflected in it were only facial features similar to her face.
Bo Jiming put the mirror back into the space and shrugged calmly: "Whether the princess thinks this is a mirror or not, this is how the princess looks in the eyes of the common people, so I'm sorry, I really have no interest in and don't like such a face, even if I look at it
It just... makes people feel heavy, so princess, please respect yourself!"
"In fact, in the eyes of the common people, whether they are the legitimate daughter of Shangshu Mansion, the daughter of Yuehou Mansion, or the maid Yan'e who is close to the Queen Mother, they are all much more beautiful than you, the eldest princess!"
"In short, the eldest princess's bento is because the common people are blind, so they can only put on Xi'er's face!"
Suddenly, a huge amount of humiliation surged out from her heart, poking Zang Yan's heart full of holes.
Her face...can't compare to those...
A breath was stuck in her chest, almost suffocating Zang Yan to death.
After all, she is not blind. In the past few days, she has seen Qin Jiaoxi's appearance and felt jealous in her heart.
The reason why she didn't pay attention to this was because no one had ever told her that she was inferior to other people in these years.
And Zang Yan never expected that the first person she liked in these years would actually say that she was not as good as other people!
That's all, but he actually thinks that she is not as good as the daughter of a marquis, or not as beautiful as a palace maid?
The confidence in appearance that Zang Yan had built up over the years fell apart at this moment.
"Liar, you are a liar!"
Zang Yan covered her face and stumbled around, turning around and running out of Fengwu Palace. Screams spread along the palace wall.
"Ah ah ah he is a liar, a liar!"
Bo Jiming shrugged.
A liar is a liar, as long as you don't pester him.
Then, his eyes darkened.
He had never met the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion and the daughter of the Marquis Mansion, but in order to strengthen the attack and prevent Zang Yan from focusing only on Qin Jiaoxi's appearance, he had to involve all these women, and also added a maid of the Queen Mother.
In this way, if the temperament of the Ninth Princess is as he speculated, then the maids around the Queen Mother will definitely disappear within three days.
By then, he would be able to take precautions in advance, and even hope to bring Shangshu and Yuehou together on a united front.
An hour later, Qin Jiaoxi came out of Shou'an Palace.
He also held two large food boxes in his hands, filled with snacks.
Seeing that she came out safely, Huamei and Shuqin both breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over to hold the box for Qin Jiaoxi.
"Is the princess okay?"
"Didn't the Queen Mother make things difficult for you?"
Qin Jiaoxi also looked confused: "No, do you two also feel something is wrong?"
The two palace maids looked at each other: "Uh..."
Even if they feel something is wrong, they dare not say that something is wrong with the Queen Mother!
Qin Jiaoxi suddenly stamped his foot: "Oh no, Brother Ming is still in Fengwu Palace!"
Maybe he tricked her out and then let someone plot against him?
In this hurry, Qin Jiaoxi jumped over the palace wall and ran directly towards Fengwu Palace.
Thrush and Shuqin were thrown away: "..."
Fortunately, in the past few days, they had become accustomed to the princess's lightness and strength, and she disappeared from sight at every turn.
