the breakfast. 。Xiangdong: "Originally, we were supposed to have breakfast together as a family on New Year's Day, but with the current situation in our household, it's not suitable for us to eat toge...Ye Wenyan, who had originally made no preparations for the princess's birthday gifts, brought two carriages when he left home. 。 One carriage held her, Zhurong and the young one, driven by Zhou Shang, the coachman whom Ji Duo had retrieved. The carriage moved steadily ahead. 。Following closely behind in a carriage were four strong maidservants from her courtyard. 。The carriage first went for a spin around the street before returning to pick up its passenger. No one knew what was in the carriage, except that four maids scurried inside hurriedly, looking very mysterious. 。After that, another carriage left the Night Mansion's gate. Inside were Ye Wushuang and a maid named Xiaoli, whom Ye Jingsheng had bought for her. 。Ye Wushuang was wearing the new clothes she had bought yesterday, a bright peony red that complemented her beautiful features. Even the maids around her couldn't help but steal glances at her. Finally, one of them couldn't resist and said, "Third Miss is so pretty." 。" I'm a bit embarrassed to be complimented. You know everyone says the most beautiful woman in Lin'an is Si Jiemei, she's the real beauty, the kind that steals your gaze at first sight. > 。“That also depends on whether you can tear your eyes away after seeing it. But who dares to look directly at Miss Four Even when I was in the hands of a human trafficker, I had already heard about the reputation of Miss Four.” 。Everyone says that Miss Ye Si was spoiled by General Ye Lao, doing whatever she pleased, burning, killing, looting, she was the notorious little overlord of Lin'an Inner City. 。"What use is it if a tyrant is handsome Who dares to look at her" She lowered her voice, "So the marriage didn't happen, and no one dared to accept her." 。" Stop it! How dare you speak ill of the master behind his back Fourth Sister is the legitimate daughter of the Ye family, of noble standing. It's not something a maidservant like you can just slander! Don't say such things anymore and give me unnecessary trouble." 。"

Little Li quickly lowered her head to apologize, but she still whispered, "I didn't say anything wrong! Miss Three, you are also a legitimate daughter, and your status is noble! Now that the second master is in charge, you are the most noble young lady" 。"

Nightless didn't say anything else, but in his heart he was still savoring the words >>>。Although yesterday's commotion caused her aspirations for the esteemed General's Mansion to waver slightly, it hadn't diminished her joy of finally returning to her ancestral home. 。After all these years of enduring, even the most impetuous temper has been worn down, and even the most unwilling hearts have grown accustomed to it. Although there are still moments of excitement, things are much calmer than they were a few years ago. 。It's true what Xiao Li said, she is now the legitimate eldest miss of a first-rank general's mansion, no longer the laundry girl from Yuexiu Lane in Dong Street, Outer City. 。What she yearns for is her father's attention and the grandmother's care. As for the attitudes of other people, they are not that important. 。Ye Wushuang brushed her bangs aside and smiled at Xiao Li, "Girls should be more quiet. Father often taught me that we should be knowledgeable, well-mannered, and learn things like music, painting, and books." 。You shouldn't always be thinking about wielding swords and guns, that would lose a lady's grace. Your hands would become rough from the weapons, and your temperament wouldn't be gentle and kind. No man would like a girl like that. 。" Xiao Li was very happy to hear Ye Wu Shuang say this. This meant that the young lady had taken her words to heart. As long as she could be recognized by the young lady, she would be able to stay by her side in the future, as a close attendant or even an attendant of the highest rank. 。She had been sold and resold by human traffickers for many years. She was already fifteen years old this year. If she couldn't find a suitable master willing to take her in, when she got older, fewer people would be willing to take her. At that time, the human traffickers might just sell her to a brothel to wait on men. 。She didn't want to live that kind of life, so this time she finally got into the General's Mansion, and she had to curry favor with Ye Wushuang. As long as her master was successful, she would follow suit. 。In the future, when her master marries into a good family, she might also become someone's housemaid, and then she will have servants attending to her, so she won't have to be a servant anymore. 。Xiaoli had a great plan in mind, and she also tried her best to be kind to Yexu. 。She told Yè Wú Shuāng, “The second master asked us to follow along. Miss Four’s side hasn't found out yet! But it doesn't matter, we're all family. If we all go, she can't drive us back again, right Besides, we brought gifts. We're here for the Grand Princess, and Miss Four wouldn't dare turn away those who came to present gifts to the Grand Princess, would she Otherwise, the Grand Princess would be angry." 。" Night Wushuang nodded, "Indeed, I've long admired the Empress. Now that she has finally returned to live within the inner city and it's her birthday, of course, I had to come and offer my congratulations." 。I came here for the Eldest Princess. Fourth Sister shouldn't refuse to give the Eldest Princess face. 。"

In the first carriage at the front, Zhuí opened the curtain and looked out for a while, then said, "They're still following us! Our new third Miss is really something. She can do things like this. Doesn't she feel embarrassed"

Jì Róng replied, "What's there to be embarrassed about They've already entered the Ye Mansion's gate, so who cares about being embarrassed>>>" 。“What is the Old Master planning” Zhuier stamped her foot in anger, “That day he said at the Long Princess’s birthday banquet, he wanted to bring the Third Miss along. I knew in my heart that he was referring to Ye Wushuang, but later I discussed it with the young lady, so we took Ye Hongzhuang instead. It angered the Old Master to no end.” 。The result is that the night red makeup was taken back by His Royal Highness Sixth again. Now, we have a piece of sticking plaster following us behind, we can't shake it off at all. 。She peeked again and saw that the carriage was still following closely, so she turned back to Zhou Shang and said, “Can you drive faster We need to shake off these tailing pests” Zhou Shang replied, “I could, but getting rid of her is easy. What about the second carriage That's one of our own.” 。" That's right, thought Zhai Er. She didn't say anything more. 。It was Ji Rong who asked Ye Wenyan, "Master, the Grand Princess is so fiery. Won't we fight her at the gate of the mansion" Then she thought again and said, "That wouldn't be bad either. After fighting, she won't have a birthday celebration anymore." 。"It's impossible not to have a birthday celebration, all these people came, if she really held a grudge against me and didn't even host the banquet, how embarrassing!" 。From now on, what will be spread is that the eldest princess can't win against Miss Ye Si, so she could be happy Therefore, the birthday banquet should still be held, but this fight at the door should still happen. 。He has spoiled her, but I won't spoil her. To dare disrespect my father like that, today I must make her understand the difference between heaven and earth, let her know there are powerful people in Lin'an City besides her. 。Ye Wen leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes gently, only opening them when the carriage came to a stop. 。The carriage's outer perimeter merchant said, "Miss, the Chang Princess Mansion has arrived." 。Then came a questioning voice. She heard Zhou Shang jump down from the carriage, seemingly running forward a few steps. Immediately after, she heard Zhou Shang shouting frantically— "What are you doing"

Ji Rong flung open the curtain with a "whoosh," bending over to walk out. Ye Wenyan and Zhuai'er followed closely behind. They saw Zhou Shang desperately pushing those ladies who had come to attend the banquet, shouting as he did so: "You are outrageous! You deserve to die! How dare you defile General Bai, who is protecting his home and country! Do you not have the soldiers of Bei Qi in your eyes"

Ye Wenyan's eyes narrowed, a cruel glint in them unconcealed. 。 A scarecrow wearing armor and bearing the name "Nightingale's Return," the General-in-Chief, knelt at the gate of Princess Chang's mansion. All the guests who wanted to enter the mansion had to pass by him. 。Some people rushed past without a glance, while others took a look and frowned. 。> Many people stopped to fiddle with the scarecrow, laughing and scolding as they slapped it about, spitting on it, and poking its forehead. One woman even put a green handkerchief over the scarecrow's head, laughing hysterically and saying, "Look, General Ye Da has been cuckolded! His wife probably ran off with someone else and drove him mad!" 。" People burst into laughter when they heard this, and didn't even want to enter the house anymore. They just stood at the door, jeering at this straw man." 。When Zhou Shang rushed up and pushed them away, many people were caught off guard and were knocked to the ground by Zhou Shang. 。For a time, the gates of the Long Princess's manor were in chaos, with wails and cries rising and falling ceaselessly. 。Zhou Shang, a tall and burly man, cried out in anger. He wanted to go forward and tear down the words pasted on the back of the scarecrow, but he was stopped by the guards of Princess's Mansion. Two swords were immediately raised to his neck, and they shouted, "Where did you come from, wretch! You dare to run wild in Princess Long's Mansion! I think you're tired of living!"Zhou Shang was not afraid of these two swords at all. They yelled at him, and he immediately yelled back - "You are the ones who are tired of living! General Ye has fought his whole life, serving Northern Qi, making contributions, expanding its territory, with countless achievements to his name. How dare you treat him so disrespectfully What right do you have to put up such a scarecrow here Do you still have a country in your eyes Do you still remember those brave men who have poured their blood and sweat for Northern Qi Have you forgotten who is stationed at the border, guarding this piece of land for you Who has protected your peaceful life in Lin'an City What right do you have"Zhou Shang was almost overwhelmed with emotion, shouting frantically, his whole body charging forward, directly knocking the two swords aside. 。There was blood flowing from his neck, luckily the wound wasn't deep. The two guards were also intimidated by his aura, at a loss for what to do with him for a moment. 。To say that one runs amok in front of the princess's mansion deserves death. 。Today is the princess's birthday, isn't it a bit inappropriate to shed bloodZhou Shang charged with his weapon and ripped the characters off the scarecrow's back. He then crumpled them into a ball and swallowed them whole. 。Then, he reached out and started to pull at the armor, saying as he did:"This is what soldiers use to protect themselves when fighting. It's not something for you to joke around with!" 。You people, you have no love for your country or your generals. You disregard the court! You will surely be punished. The souls of those who died on the battlefield will not let you go. They will come back to seek revenge because you are unworthy of their protection. 。They fought with all their might, protecting the honest citizens of Northern Qi, not you lot of scoundrels!” He finished taking off his armor and turned back: “If you dare disrespect the General again, I’ll give my life! I’d rather die fighting than let you get away with it! My life is worthless anyway, if you’re not afraid to die with me, come at me!” >t right at that old Madam Xiao and scold her, she wouldn't even dare say a word. 。In conclusion, we are in the right. We need to get through this first. 。"Lady Ye, trembling with despair, said, "Jing...
