Princess Ana was arrogant and domineering, and she spoke without restraint and without any order. Even Concubine Pang, who was always good at dealing with people, felt annoyed with her and didn't want to pay much attention to her affairs.
Especially this competition, when she heard that she had led the Eleventh Princess to hunt those ferocious beasts, Concubine Pang became even more angry.
If Princess Ana believed that her group of people were good at riding and shooting and were familiar with the local terrain, then leading the Eleventh Princess into danger just to win would be too cruel. Children can be spoiled, but at least they should have good intentions, but they don't seem to have good intentions.
So when she heard that Su Yao had won, Concubine Pang was particularly happy. She smiled and said to Aunt Cui, "Since Yaoyao won, the phoenix hairpin will be awarded to her. She will need it when she gets married."
Aunt Cui agreed with a smile.
The wife of Duke Pingguo also laughed: "Speaking of which, Princess Changning is always beyond people's expectations. She is really too capable. How can she do everything well?"
Concubine Pang smiled but said nothing.
When Su Yao was a companion reader in the palace, she could see that Su Yao was an extremely self-disciplined girl. She had a fixed time to get up every day and would never delay it for any reason. If she had agreed on what to do the next day, she would not postpone it until the third day.
To be able to play with something she likes to this extent, one must have put in a lot of perseverance and patience. The arrows she shot were not shot by chance.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh and praise. After all, winning against Princess Ana and the others was indeed a matter of honor for the Great Zhou.
In the peaceful atmosphere, Princess Mingchang suddenly raised her head and snorted, "Yeah, why aren't other girls as capable as her? Those princesses on the grasslands have grown up on horseback since childhood, but they are not as capable as her. In my opinion, she is not capable, but she is too smart."
After she said this, the hall fell into an eerie silence for a moment, and everyone couldn't help but look towards her.
In the silence, Princess Yongning was the first to react and speak: "If you don't know, you will be shocked by what you said. She is a good girl, why do you say such harsh words to her? If you know, you will say that you are just being straightforward, and if you don't know, you will think that you have a deep hatred for her. She is doing good for us, but you say that she is weird. Isn't it chilling her heart?"
Princess Mingchang was immediately furious.
She had been favored since she was young, and she was respected even when the emperor was deposed. Now that the emperor was the emperor, he also treated her with kindness and generosity. However, Princess Yongning was not even as good as her finger before, but now, how long has it been? Princess Yongning dared to be sarcastic with her.
All the dissatisfaction and resentment of the past two years came to her mind at this moment. Princess Mingchang stared at Princess Yongning with red eyes, as if she was ready to attack at any time.
Princess Yongning was no longer afraid of her as before. She smiled coldly at her, turned around and said to Concubine Pang: "The riding skills of the Earl of Yongding are very excellent. Since he has such skills, it is not surprising that he teaches his sister. Everyone knows that the Earl of Yongding dotes on this sister."
Su Yao was helping the eleventh princess, so Concubine Pang naturally couldn't say anything bad about Su Yao. Upon hearing this, she smiled and looked at Princess Mingchang and said, "Yes, Gan Luo is still the prime minister at the age of twelve. There are many smart people in this world. It's not surprising that we met a few of them. The princess is too sensitive."
Princess Mingchang was speechless. She smiled faintly and said no more.
Anyway, they all want to cling to Xiao Heng now. Since Xiao Heng values people, they naturally can only make agreements. How can they have the room to speak
She couldn't help but miss the past few years.
In the past few years, not to mention that Princess Yongning had no right to say these words to her, even Concubine Pang had to be polite to her. But since when did she not even allow herself to say that she didn't like someone
Princess Mingchang felt very upset and didn't want to stay here any longer. She stood up and said goodbye with a stern face: "I feel a little unwell. I'm going to go back and rest first."
Everyone knew that she had never liked Mrs. He and Su Yao. Moreover, she had just openly said that Su Yao was a monster, so if she went, it might cause trouble. Therefore, Concubine Pang agreed without thinking too much and told her to have a good rest.
Princess Mingchang walked out of the palace in a depressed mood, stood in the square and looked at the forest in the distance. After a long time, she ordered the guards to return to her bedroom with a sullen face.
There were only two princesses accompanying her and Princess Yongning, so they had their own bedroom in the other palace. She returned to her room tiredly and was about to kick everyone out so she could have some quiet time when she saw Steward Li hurried in and reported in a panic, "Your Highness, someone wants to see you..."
Princess Mingchang was in a very bad mood at the moment. How could she be in the mood to see guests? She shook her head and frowned without hesitation: "No."
But Manager Li did not retreat, but instead insisted on speaking softly: "Your Highness, please meet him. He is from our hometown..."
Princess Mingchang was subconsciously about to get angry.
People from my hometown? Where are the people from my hometown
Then she was stunned again - Li Jiamin had just run away from her hometown not long ago...
She opened her eyes wide and looked in the direction of Butler Li's inquiring gaze, and Butler Li nodded almost imperceptibly.
It’s actually true!
Princess Mingchang was startled and subconsciously clenched the handle of the chair. She almost jumped up, but she immediately suppressed her emotions and adjusted herself. This was a hunting palace. She didn't know how Li Jiamin came here and how she sneaked in and had someone send a message to her. If she was discovered, it would not be just a matter of losing her title, but everything would be over!
She regained her composure and hummed, shaking her head with all her might, "In that case, I'm feeling really bored here, so why not go out for a walk?"
Manager Li agreed.
Princess Mingchang really thought of a solution, and then went to the Li family's tent. As she was the eldest princess, she could naturally live in the other palace, but not all other members of the Li family could live in the other palace. The Li family also had their own tent.
At this time, because Li Jinniang was also participating in the competition, Madam Li and others also went over to watch the excitement of the leopard. The tent was very quiet. Princess Mingchang took a deep breath, opened the curtain of the tent and went in. As expected, she saw Li Jiamin sitting in the tent eating fruit at a glance, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
