‘The three misses?’
Yu Yunxi quickly guessed who the nanny was talking about. They were none other than Kang Qingping, Kang Qingxin, and Kang Qingrui. She did not have much of an impression of those three people, but since they were Old Madam Zhou’s people, she definitely would not bring them into the palace.
“Alright, you’ve already delivered the Old Madam’s message. You can leave now,” Yu Yunxi said directly, chasing the nannies away.
The nannies looked embarrassed.
One of them said hesitantly, “Eldest Princess, you haven’t agreed.”
“Does the Eldest Princess have to agree to the Old Madam’s wishes? Is she a princess or is the Eldest Princess a princess?” Meng Xia said contemptuously.
The nanny hurriedly shook her head and said fearfully, “Of course, the Eldest Princess is the princess.”
“Then hurry up and get lost! Otherwise, my fist won’t be polite anymore,” Meng Xia said with a sneer, raising her fist as she spoke.
The nannies were so frightened that they did not dare to say anything else.
They hurriedly got up and rushed to the door.
However, just as they were about to cross the threshold, Meng Xia casually extended her leg, tripping a few of them and causing them to fall on their faces.
“Oh, are you trying to kowtow to our Eldest Princess before you leave? However, the direction you’re kowtowing is not right,” Meng Xia said as she covered her mouth and laughed.
“You, you…”
The nannies were furious. However, seeing that Yu Yunxi had no intention of blaming Meng Xia, they could only leave dejectedly.
After the nannies left, Meng Xia came to Yu Yunxi’s side. She lowered her head and apologized softly, “Eldest Princess, my actions earlier were a little rash. I’ll definitely pay attention to it in the future.”
After all, without Yu Yunxi’s permission, she took the initiative to teach the nannies a lesson.
Unexpectedly, Meng Xia said seriously, “Meng Xia, you didn’t do anything wrong. You have to suffer by my side. It’s okay to teach those arrogant servants a lesson. With me around, they can’t cause trouble. You don’t have to suffer.”
Meng Xia’s eyes reddened when she heard Yu Yunxi’s words. She felt like crying.
‘The Eldest Princess reminds me of my mother. My mother also protected me like this back then.’
Meng Xia said, “Eldest Princess, you’re so nice. You’re really like my mother.”
Yu Yunxi:
“It’s fine if you feel moved, but don’t snatch Junjin’s mother away from him. That little fellow will be jealous, ” Yu Yunxi said.
Meng Xia and Qian Qing burst out laughing at the same time. They did not expect Yu Yunxi to joke.
“Yes, Eldest Princess, I understand. I don’t dare to call you ‘Mother’ ,” Meng Xia said as she tried to hold back her laughter.
Qian Qing walked behind Yu Yunxi and said with a smile, “Eldest Princess, I’ll help you style your hair and change your clothes. It’s time for us to prepare for the banquet.”
Yu Yunxi nodded. However, she suddenly thought of something and said to Meng Xia, “Meng Xia, go and investigate what those three misses have been doing since they came to the residence.”
“Eldest Princess, why do you suddenly want to investigate them? Are you going to bring them into the palace?” Meng Xia asked, confused.
Compared to Yu Xiaoxiao and the others, the three Kang sisters did not seem to have any presence at all.
“No. I just think that they’re not… simple,” Yu Yunxi said as her eyes glinted coldly.
Meng Xia and Qian Qing looked at each other in shock.
“Eldest Princess, why do you think so? Those three didn’t do anything at all
until now. They don’t seem like they’re able to cause any trouble,” Meng Xia said, puzzled.
“How could people that Old Madam Zhou likes be harmless white rabbits?” Yu Yunxi said, shaking her head. She continued to explain, “Although Yu Xiaoxiao has fallen, there are still many daughters from the second branch. If Old Madam Zhou wanted new chess pieces, why didn’t she choose the concubines’ daughters? Even if they’re only daughters of concubines, they grew up in the
King of Zhenbei’s Residence. Moreover, their father is an official in the capital.”
“Although the three Kang sisters are the daughters of my father’s younger sister, her background is still low. Moreover, they didn’t even grow up in the capital. Don’t you think it’s strange that Old Madam Zhou chose them to climb up the social ladder?” Yu Yunxi asked.
Although Old Madam Zhou was stupid, she was not that stupid. She knew that today’s banquet would be attended by distinguished envoys from various countries and the imperial family and powerful ministers of Xichu. Clearly, Old Madam Zhou wanted the three Kang sisters to attend the banquet because she wanted them to meet those people.
Yu Yunxi said meaningfully, “Is Old Madam Zhou muddle-headed, or do the three sisters really have abilities we’re unaware of?”
Meng Xia and Qian Qing’s expressions turned solemn upon hearing this. After listening to Yu Yunxi, they felt that they should really keep an eye on the three Kang sisters.
Meng Xia nodded and said before she left, “Eldest Princess, I’ll go and investigate now.”
As Yu Yunxi looked at Meng Xia’s departing figure, her eyes glinted coldly. She hoped that she was just overthinking. This was the King of Zhenbei’s Residence. She would not allow any more people to tarnish the reputation of the King of Zhenbei’s Residence.
“By the way, Qian Qing, ask Qian Jiao and Qian Mei to do my hair,” Yu Yunxi said warmly to Qian Qing.
Due to the state banquet, Yu Yunxi had asked Qian Jiao and Qian Mei to come back from the Revival Hall and sent other people to keep an eye on the Revival Hall. They were now in the residence.
“Eldest Princess, do you think I’m not as skilled as Qian Jiao and Qian Mei in doing your hair?” Qian Qing said, pretending to be aggrieved.
Yu Yunxi laughed. “The three of you are equally skilled. However, I have something else for you to do now.”
Qian Qing’s expression turned serious as soon as she heard this, thinking that Yu Yunxi had something important to tell her.
Unexpectedly, Yu Yunxi took a sachet out of the box in front of her.
Qian Qing was puzzled. Two days ago, Yu Yunxi had embroidered a sachet and also asked her to embroider a sachet herself.
‘Isn’t this the sachet the Eldest Princess embroidered two days ago?’
“There are many herbs in the sachet. Their smell can neutralize the effects of many poisons. During the banquet, it’s hard to guarantee that some ambitious people won’t make a move on Feng Vili. Hurry up and bring this to the King of Youshan’s Residence for me. Give it to Feng Yili,” Yu Yunxi said.
“Alright. I’ll go now.”
After learning about the importance of the matter, Qian Qing quickly took the sachet and nodded.
Just as Qian Qing was about to leave, Yu Yunxi called her, “Wait.”
Qian Qing stopped in her tracks and asked, “Eldest Princess, do you have any other instructions?”
“Since Feng Yili is also the King of Youshan, he needs Luo Xiuran’s help to maintain his identities. So, Luo Xiuran’s safety is also very important… It won’t be good if someone targets Luo Xiuran,” Yu Yunxi said meaningfully..
