Chapter 21 Twenty Strike

Not long after, Mrs. Jiang arranged for several maids to come over and stand in the door and salute Yan Li: "Servants, come here to serve the princess. See Her Highness."

Yan Li didn't say anything, so Aunt An said, "You take care of some cleaning work outside, and we can take care of the inside."

Several maids looked at each other, a little embarrassed: "The old lady asked us to serve the princess's meals——"

"The small kitchen will be responsible for the meals, and we will cook them ourselves for the princess." Aunt An said coldly, "You don't need to worry about it."

"But Liuliyuan doesn't have a kitchenette..."

"You can take one."

The maids continued to say anything, and Nanny An sneered: "What mission did the old lady give you? Speaking of which, the Taifu's Mansion is also a noble family, so you wouldn't think of such a clumsy way to manipulate the princess's food, right?"

Several maids hurriedly knelt down: "I don't dare!"

Aunt An ordered coldly: "Get out!"

Several people did not dare to disobey the order anymore and retreated in dejection.

"Princess, sit down and rest for a while. The old slave arranged for them to set up a small kitchen. From now on, they will buy and cook food in Liuliyuan, so as not to worry about eating."

Yan Li hummed and closed her eyes to rest for a while. Qinglian and Baidie stood quietly aside not to disturb her.

"Bai Die." Yan Li suddenly spoke.

"Your Highness."

"You are the medical woman in the Queen Mother's palace. My body is fine. The Queen Mother didn't let you go back?"

Baidie shook her head: "The emperor ordered me to stay with the princess during this period. There are several medical women with superb medical skills in the Queen Mother's palace, and I am not missing any of them."

"In that case, go grab some medicine for me." Yan Li stood up, walked to the desk, sat down, picked up a pen and wrote a prescription, "Don't let anyone else handle it."

"yes."

Baidie glanced at the medicinal materials on the prescription and frowned slightly. Some were common medicines and some were special medicines. What did the girl want with these medicinal materials?

But she didn't ask any more questions. She took the prescription and walked out. When she met the eldest son of the Jiang family, she saw Bai Die and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Bai Die glanced at him, said nothing, and left.

Jiang Tingyi frowned, stared at her back with dissatisfaction, and said coldly: "It's true that there are slaves just like the masters, and they don't understand any rules."

"Your Highness the Princess." Nanny An poured a cup of tea for Yan Li and brought it over. She turned to look at Jiang Tingyi who walked into the yard, "The eldest son of the Jiang family is here."

Yan Li hummed, stood up, took the tea she handed over, walked to the window and stood there, watching Jiang Tingyi, who was wearing a brocade robe, walking towards him step by step.

Jiang Tingyi had a good relationship with the prince and was regarded as a confidant of the princeling. In the past, he had always mentioned to Mr. Jiang intentionally or unintentionally that Yan Li was not worthy of publicity and had too petty temperament. He was not worthy of being the prince's concubine. Jiang Jingyue was more suitable.

All the Jiang family members think so. It is easy to imagine Yan Li's status in this family. If the emperor had not granted her a marriage early, and the Jiang family had some scruples in recent years, Yan Li's life would have been even more unsatisfactory.

"Yan Li." Jiang Tingyi walked into the room, frowning slightly with a reproachful expression on his face, "Are you still blaming the prince for being unkind?"

Yan Li didn't say anything. Is the prince being unkind?

Mu Xiuhan is not only unkind, he is selfish, dirty, and has no responsibilities as a prince. He is not even worthy of being called a man.

Jiang Tingyi kept accusing: "The prince is the king, the Jiang family is the ministers, thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the king. How can you be so selfish and ignore the overall situation?"

Yan Li closed her eyes and took a sip of tea, looking out the window. Her face was as indifferent as snow, and she was too lazy to pay attention to this self-righteous thing.

"The prince framed you because he doesn't want to marry you. Can't you see it?" Jiang Tingyi said with a bit of disappointment in his tone, "As a member of the Jiang family, you should understand that the overall situation is the most important thing. We must cooperate with what the prince does not want to do." , This is also the duty of a minister.”

"The emperor makes me a princess. From now on, I will be the king and you will be the minister." Yan Li turned her head and finally gave him a look of relief, "So please maintain your duty as a minister in front of me and stop shouting Scream, otherwise I will let the imperial guards drag you out and beat you with a cane."

Jiang Tingyi looked livid: "You are so stubborn!"

Leaving these words behind, he walked away.

Yan Li thought his ears were quiet, but he didn't expect that Jiang Tingyi had just left. After a while, Jiang Tingshi, the second son of the Jiang family, also came to Liuliyuan: "Yan Li."

Yan Li frowned, and there was a hint of impatience in his eyes.

"The Jiang family has treated you like their own daughter all these years. Even if you are ungrateful, you shouldn't repay your kindness with enmity." Jiang Tingshi frowned tightly and looked at Yan Li with a chilling look on his face. "We were also forced to break off the engagement of the prince. Helpless, although your father and mother punished you, it was also to give His Highness the Crown Prince an explanation. If you want me to die, I have to die—"

"Come here." Yan Li raised his voice, "Pull Jiang Tingshi out and beat him twenty times with a cane."

Jiang Tingshi's expression suddenly changed: "Yan Li!"

The royal guards who followed the princess's guard of honor quickly walked in, grabbed Jiang Tingshi and walked out.

Jiang Tingshi struggled desperately: "Yan Li, what are you doing?"

"Didn't you say it yourself just now? If you want me to die, I have to die. I am just asking the imperial guards to beat you now. Don't worry, your life will not be taken." Yan Li looked at him through the window, the corner of her mouth raised. The arc revealed a biting chill, "Jiang Tingshi, if you dare to resist, you are dissatisfied with the imperial power. I will have someone report the truth to the emperor. I don't know what the punishment will be for this crime of contempt for the imperial power."

Jiang Tingshi froze and dared not struggle anymore. He was soon pressed to the ground by the imperial guards. The strong court stick quickly fell on him, one after another, and Jiang Tingshi's face turned pale and cold sweat dripped down: "Yan Li, you are abusing your power to seek revenge for personal gain--"

"You call the princess by her name, and I will add ten more sticks." Yan Li spoke slowly and indifferently, "Be careful not to beat him to death."

An Ma stood aside, watching Jiang Tingshi groan in pain after being beaten, "You really don't know the rules of the Jiang family until you see them. It's shocking. Master Jiang was the emperor's teacher after all, how could he fail so badly in teaching his children and grandchildren?"
