Soon it was the afternoon pm. Ji Yuqing got dressed early and got into the car with the help of Zisu.
Xiao Yichen was sitting in the carriage early, reading a book in his hand. When he saw Ji Yuqing getting on the carriage, he just nodded.
Ji Yuqing moved closer to Xiao Yichen and asked with a worried look on her face: "Your Highness... there was a thief in the mansion last night. Was he caught? Was anything valuable stolen?"
Xiao Yichen's eyes did not leave the book in his hand. Whenever he thought of what happened last night, he became furious. The study was haunted, and he had run into trouble with Ji Lingxue. His life seemed to be quite a failure.
Xiao Yichen thought about it all night, but he couldn't figure out who he had offended recently, so that he was being retaliated against so continuously. And Chi Feng still hadn't figured out who had tampered with his calligraphy in Wangshan Tower.
Ji Yuqing consoled him, "Your Majesty, how about I ask a magician to come back and perform some rituals to get rid of the bad luck?"
Xiao Yichen nodded, "You decide..." He paused, lifted the curtain and said to the driver outside, "Go and see why the princess hasn't arrived yet?"
The coachman took the order and just turned around, he saw Ji Lingxue, who was wearing the princess's formal dress and came with a tall maid. The coachman's eyes lit up. As long as the princess didn't speak, she looked very graceful and had the demeanor of a princess.
Xiao Yichen's car curtain was halfway open, and his sight was also amazed and shocked by Ji Lingxue at that moment.
Ji Yuqing couldn't help but crumple the handkerchief in her hand, because today was her first time attending a palace banquet, and she had dressed up carefully, but she couldn't compare to the dazzling princess's formal dress. What made her even more angry was that the formal dress should have been worn by her, but was worn by a fool.
Xiao Yichen withdrew his gaze and met Ji Yuqing's envious and jealous eyes. Although Ji Yuqing concealed it well, she quickly restrained herself.
Xiao Yichen's big hand fell on the back of Ji Yuqing's hand, "Qing'er, do you like that dress too?"
Ji Yuqing lowered her head, silence was the best answer.
Ji Lingxue, who had originally walked out in a dignified manner, jumped into the carriage like a rabbit, holding up her skirt, and waved, "My Lord, my sister, I've kept you waiting."
The tall maid behind Ji Lingxue couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Xiao Yichen coughed and looked at the maid behind Ji Lingxue, "Your maid looks unfamiliar?"
Ji Lingxue said: "I only have Mo Xiang to serve me, which is too few. This is my newly bought maid named Ruge."
The tall maid bowed her head and looked very awkward, and it was obvious that she was a newcomer who had never learned the etiquette.
Ji Yuqing glanced at him without commenting and continued to pretend to be a lady.
The carriage entered the palace smoothly. Xiao Yichen got off the carriage first and said to Ji Lingxue, "Let's go. We have to go and greet our grandmother first. Qing'er, go to the banquet hall and wait for me."
Ji Yuqing drooped her eyelashes dejectedly, feeling dissatisfied that Xiao Yichen did not take care of her.
Ji Lingxue turned to look at the bewildered Ji Yuqing, "What if you get lost when you first arrive at the palace?"
Xiao Yichen walked quickly and said, "The palace servants will send her to the banquet hall. She has a gentle personality and it would be nice for her to meet the ministers' families."
Ji Lingxue turned around and winked at the tall maid following behind her, signaling her to keep an eye on Ji Yuqing.
The tall maid nodded, turned around and left quietly.
Ji Lingxue followed Xiao Yichen and walked forward. She was not unfamiliar with the palace. When she was a child, she often followed Xiao Yichen into the palace to play.
Xiao Yichen stopped, turned around and extended his hand towards Ji Lingxue.
