Chapter 42 This Little Bitch!

Jiang Tingyan walked out angrily.

Jiang Jingyue tried to maintain the demeanor of the Jiang family's legitimate daughter, and didn't want to waste her words with Nanny An.

The other party was just a nanny. Arguing with her would not only be unmannerly, but she might not be her opponent.

The most important thing was that she would most likely lose the opportunity to negotiate peace with Yan Li.

However, Jiang Jingyue had always been the center of attention at home since she was a child. When had she ever suffered such a great humiliation? The handkerchief in her hand was almost torn to pieces, but she still tried her best to control her emotions. Tianlai Novel Network

Especially when she looked out the window and saw the ten imperial guards standing tall outside, the jealousy in her heart swept over like a tide.

She had just heard from her mother that when Yan Li came back that day, he was very arrogant and had a grand ceremony. In addition to Nanny An, there were also female officials, female doctors, and more than a dozen maids, as well as the imperial guards personally escorting him.

Yan Li even forced his father, mother, and several brothers to kneel down to greet him.

But she, the Crown Princess, came back in such a shabby state that it couldn't be shabby anymore. The few maids she had were all randomly ordered by the Crown Prince, and no one had made careful preparations for her return home.

When she thought of this, Jiang Jingyue hated Yan Li so much that she wished Yan Li would die immediately.

Why could an orphan like her, who was dependent on others, live so gloriously? Why did the Emperor favor her? Even the Ninth Prince was willing to marry her... Why?

Thinking of the current situation in the court, Jiang Jingyue closed her eyes and slowly clenched her hands.

The Emperor was in his prime, and several princes were eyeing the throne, especially Concubine Gu and her son, who were the Crown Prince's strongest opponents.

At this time, the person the Crown Prince could not offend the most was the Ninth Prince, who had 300,000 elite soldiers of the Mu Kingdom.

If the Ninth Prince really wanted to marry Yan Li, she had to repair her relationship with Yan Li and let the Ninth Prince support the Crown Prince. After the Crown Prince's throne was firmly established, it would not be too late to deal with them after he ascended the throne.

A little intolerance would ruin a big plan.

"Madame An." A maid suddenly came in from outside and knelt down to greet Madame An. "The Ninth Prince sent someone to tell her that he wants to invite Princess Nanyang to the palace."

Jiang Jingyue came back to her senses instantly and turned to look at the maid who reported. The Ninth Prince asked Yan Li to come over?

Didn't they say that men and women cannot meet before the wedding?

Madame An was also surprised: "The Ninth Prince asked the princess to come over?"

"Yes, they said that the female official from the Sizhifang came to tailor the phoenix crown and bridal robe for the princess." The maid replied, "The Ninth Prince wants to discuss it with the princess in person."

Jiang Jingyue's eyes darkened.

The Ninth Prince personally arranged Yan Li's phoenix crown and bridal robe? Yan Li married from the Jiang Mansion, and the wedding dress should not be the Jiang family's concern?

Why did he, a prince, interfere in such a small matter?

Jiang Jingyue thought of the prince's indifference, and felt more and more jealous and unfair.

Nanny An said, "Please wait a moment. I will go and report to the princess."

"Yes."

Nanny An turned and walked into the pharmacy, closing the door.

Jiang Jingyue stared at the door with a cold look. She came to see Yan Li, and Nanny An asked her to wait. When the Ninth Prince sent someone, she immediately went to report?

Is this considered looking down on others?

Not long after, Yan Li walked out of the pharmacy, wearing only a simple and light dress, without even the most basic pendant.

The maid standing by the side of the room immediately brought her clean water to wash her hands. Yan Li washed her hands, took the handkerchief handed by Qinglian and wiped them, saying lightly: "I'm going out for a while, and will stay at the Ninth Prince's Mansion for lunch at noon. Qinglian, tell them not to prepare my lunch."

"Yes."

"Cousin Li." Jiang Jingyue stood up and walked over with a smile on her face, "I've been waiting for you here for a while, and I have something to say to you."

"I'm busy for the time being." Yan Li said lightly, "Let's talk when I come back."

Jiang Jingyue reached out and pulled her: "Cousin, I'll just say a few words."

Yan Li's eyes dropped slightly, his gaze fell on her hand, without saying a word, just such a light look, made Jiang Jingyue unconsciously withdraw her hand.

"I..." Jiang Jingyue realized that she was actually afraid, her face turned pale, "Cousin Li, can you go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion later and ask for mercy from the Ninth Prince? Third brother studied hard and prepared for such a long time just to pass the imperial examination, but the Ninth Prince destroyed all his efforts with just one sentence..."

"Didn't he ask for it?" Yan Li's eyes flashed with a cold light, and her expression was already impatient, "It's ok to be arrogant and stupid on weekdays, but he dared to slander in front of the Ninth Prince? Does he think his behavior is worth being proud of?"

Jiang Jingyue said softly: "I know he shouldn't, can I apologize for my third brother? Cousin Li, you have always been kind-hearted-"

"No." Yan Li smiled faintly, "I have always been cruel and ruthless, and I have never known what kindness is."

After saying this, she went straight to the inner room, changed into a scarlet dress, sat in front of the bronze mirror, and Qinglian dressed her up.

Jiang Jingyue's face turned pale little by little, and she almost bit her teeth with hatred. She kept telling herself to endure it, even if she couldn't, but Yan Li, this little bitch, was too hateful!

Relying on the emperor's favor, she didn't take anyone seriously?

This little bitch!

When she has a chance in the future, she will make Yan Li live a life worse than death and kneel on the ground to beg her!

When Yan Li came out of the inner room, she happened to see Jiang Jingyue's gloomy face, with a bit of gnashing hatred, as if she couldn't wait to tear her apart right now...

"Jiang Jingyue." Yan Li said coldly, "If you want to pretend, just pretend to the end. Don't show any clues at any time. Otherwise, you will be so angry that you will die and still not be able to deceive others. Isn't it in vain to endure so much grievance and put on a smiling face?"

Jiang Jingyue's expression was frozen. When she met Yan Li's eyes full of ridicule, her blood seemed to freeze. She wanted to laugh but couldn't. Her face was as ugly as it could be.

Yan Li walked out with Qinglian and Baidie.
