Chapter 41: Be Humble
No matter what her mother and elder brother said, Jiang Jingyue decided to talk to Yan Li, but she came at an unfortunate time. Yan Li was tinkering with medicinal materials in the pharmacy and had no time to see her for the time being.
"Her Highness the Princess has told her that no one is allowed to disturb her when she is busy." Nanny An stood in front of the pharmacy door, performing her duties meticulously. "Miss Jiang can sit and wait for a while, or go back first and wait for the Princess to finish her work. Come again."
"You, the nanny, only know the princess, not the crown princess?" Jiang Tingyan was angry, "The nuns who come out of the palace don't have any rules at all."
"The wedding between Miss Jiang and the prince has not yet been held, so she cannot be called the princess. Mr. Jiang said this too early." Aunt An said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone, "The princess is the princess who has been decreed by the emperor."
"You!" Jiang Tingyan's expression turned green and he pointed at her, "Sure enough, there are just as many slaves as there are masters. You are really——"
"The master of this slave is the emperor." Nanny An raised her eyebrows, "Is Third Young Master Jiang openly insulting the emperor?"
Jiang Tingyan's face turned pale: "I didn't!"
"Nanny An, please calm down." Jiang Jingyue spoke softly quickly, walked over and quietly handed her a bag of silver, "What Third Brother said impulsively does not count. He was unintentional. Please forgive him once. "
Aunt An shook the money in her hand and her face softened slightly: "Miss Jiang will marry the prince next month. From now on, the Jiang family will be relatives of the emperor. You should be careful when talking and doing, and don't yell or yell. He doesn't look like a royal relative."
Jiang Jingyue smiled gently: "Yes, Grandma An is right."
Although Nanny An's attitude was not very good, the words "relatives of the emperor and the country" undoubtedly entered her heart. When Jiang Jingyue thought of the future scenery, she felt that the current grievance was nothing.
"I've also seen the tempers of the masters of the Jiang family in the past two days. To be honest, your family tradition is really not very good." Aunt An's tone was cold, as if she was teaching a servant who didn't understand the rules, " Isn't it an honor for the Jiang family that Princess Nanyang is favored by the emperor? According to common sense, Mrs. Jiang should treat her as her own daughter, and the three young masters of the Jiang family should love her as their own sister. As long as you treat each other sincerely, Princess Can I still treat you badly in the future?”
Jiang Tingyan said coldly: "Yan Li is just a white-eyed wolf, we don't dare to count on her." Tianlai Novel Network
"Third brother." Jiang Jingyue interrupted him in time, laughing along with her, "Mother An is right, we must pay attention to it in the future."
Jiang Tingyan's face was gloomy, and he couldn't believe that Jiang Jingyue was so humble in front of Grandma An.
"But look at your attitude." Nanny An snorted coldly, "We should obviously please the princess, but each one of them puts on all the airs, shouts and abuses in front of the princess, and slanders the princess in front of the Ninth Prince. Isn't this asking for embarrassment? ? Will the emperor’s own princess be allowed to be humiliated by you?”
Jiang Jingyue pinched her palms, and the smile on her face became a little stiff: "Mother An, when can Yan Li come out?"
"It's early." Nanny An turned her head and glanced at the closed door, "The princess usually stays in there for an hour, and she has only been in for half an hour."
Jiang Jingyue took a deep breath: "Then we'll come back later."
"Whatever." Aunt An nodded, "But the princess usually takes a nap for half an hour after lunch. After waking up, she likes to take a hot bath, and in the afternoon she has to take a horse walk——"
"Zhamabu?" Jiang Jingyue frowned, "Zhamabu for what?"
"Exercise your body." Nanny An said with a proud expression on her face, "Otherwise, when someone bullied the princess, how could she kick him into the lake? Only by exercising your body well can you be able to protect yourself at critical moments. "
"Nonsense! She just deliberately found so many excuses to make things difficult for Jingyue." Jiang Tingyan couldn't bear it anymore and said coldly, "Making herbs, taking naps, walking... Has Yan Li ever had so many weird habits before?"
It's understandable that she would take a nap. After all, she has become a princess, so naturally she has to be more delicate.
But tinkering with medicinal materials? Zamabu?
What a joke.
"The princess has had these habits since she was in the palace. Young Master Jiang doesn't have to think that the princess is making things difficult for you." Aunt An's tone was a little colder. "It's not that you didn't have these habits before, but you didn't notice them." That’s all, this only proves that the Jiang family has completely neglected the princess, and you should reflect on it.”
Jiang Tingyan was furious and was about to retort when Jiang Jingyue nodded slowly: "Mother An is right. We will treat Yan Li well in the future and let her mother treat her as her biological daughter, and we will treat her as our biological sister. "
Aunt An was noncommittal and asked, "Miss Jiang, do you want to sit and wait?"
Jiang Jingyue came back to her senses, covered up her dissatisfaction, and nodded slowly: "In that case, I will just sit here and wait, so as not to miss the time again when I come in the afternoon."
"This is the best." Nanny An nodded, and then changed the subject, "I have seen many people in the palace being flattered and criticized, but I have never seen anyone flattered and underestimated... Even if the Jiang family is rich, it can't be done Even with Qu’s noble character, you can’t be too cruel to your own family, right?”
"Nanny An, who is being mean?" Jiang Tingyan became more and more angry as he listened, and finally couldn't hold back his anger and replied, "Since Yan Li came back to this house, she has been putting on airs everywhere, why can't we say a few words about her? You ——”
"Why is Young Master Jiang so angry?" Nanny An frowned, "Sure enough, the Ninth Prince is right. Your magnanimity is not suitable for being an official at all."
After the words fell, Jiang Tingyan's face turned visibly pale, and the gloomy anger continued to ferment on his face.
"Madame An is right." Jiang Jingyue smiled ugly, "We will definitely pay attention and won't let this happen again."
Jiang Tingyan was so angry that his heart ached. He turned his head and looked at Jiang Jingyue, unable to hide his heartache: "Jingyue, you don't have to be humble in front of her. Such a bold and unruly slave, even if you kill him on the spot, it's not too much!"
She is about to become the crown princess, why is she still so submissive? Being so humble to a slave, how can she be a master at all?
Why would Jiang Jingyue want to do this?
She lowered her eyes and suppressed the sinister luster in her eyes. She had lived in the palace for only a dozen days, but she had already experienced the warmth and coldness of human feelings. It was not reliable to pin her hopes on the queen or the prince. She had to rely on herself.
When she lost her beautiful appearance, the prince would also be cold to her. If she lost the protection of her family in the future, she would become the prince's abandoned concubine at any time.
So she must make the Jiang family strong and irreplaceable, so that the prince can never abandon her, so Jiang Tingyan must enter the government.
"Third brother." Jiang Jingyue glanced at Jiang Tingyan, turned around and walked to the window and sat down, "You go prepare your homework first, I'll wait for cousin Li here."
Jiang Tingyan was worried: "What if she bullies you?"
"Third Master Jiang, you worry too much." Nanny An said indifferently, "Her Highness has a good temper. As long as there are no ignorant bitches who often come to provoke her, the princess never takes the initiative to bully others."
