Ji Yunkai was only worried that the Grand Princess's guards would make the first move before Prince Yanbei's Mansion's guards arrived.
Unexpectedly, just as she finished speaking, Prince Yanbei's Mansion's maidservant said, "Princess Consort, there's no need to find guards for such a small group of people. If the Princess Consort trusts this servant, you can leave it to us."
She suddenly realized that their Princess Consort did not resemble any of the noble ladies of the capital at all. Instead, she was more like a girl from Yanbei, bold and straightforward.
In their territory, right in front of them, they said not to kill them; Prince Yanbei's Mansion was going too far!
*Slap! Slap!* The only response she got was two slaps: "Impudent! You have no right to speak in front of our Princess Consort!"
With Ji Yunkai supporting her, Baoqin did not suppress her temper anymore and, without making a sound, directly attacked.
"You... you hit me?" As the head maid of the Grand Princess, Luo Tao was loved by the Grand Princess. She had grown up in the Grand Princess Mansion and was almost like a little miss, so much so that she had never been beaten up before. Now that she had been slapped in public, she felt very distressed.
"Not only did I hit you, I even kicked you!" With that, Baoqin raised her leg and kicked Luo Tao away. "You dare to ask our Princess Consort to walk through the small door... you must be tired of living!"
Whenever their Princess Consort went out, she represented the face of their Prince. If they dared to humiliate their Prince, the people from Grand Princess Mansion could only die.
"Ahh!" Luo Tao screamed and fell on the guard behind her. Other than being kicked in the back, she was fine and not seriously injured.
However, her body was not injured, but her face was smashed upon the ground. When the guard helped her up, her legs were bruised, and her eyes looked like they were about to eat someone. Ignoring the wounds on her face, she pointed at the carriage and shouted, "What are you all still standing there for? Get them! Beat them to death! Beat them to death or cripple them! Our Princess will take care of it!"
The people of Grand Princess Mansion were just so arrogant, beating someone to death was nothing to them.
*Whoosh! Whoosh!* The guards of the Grand Princess Mansion all had blades, and they immediately pulled them out and went forward.
At first, Ji Yunkai was worried that they would suffer a loss, but after seeing the maidservants take out their hairpins, bracelets, and the chains on their necks and assemble them into thin and long iron rods, she became silent.
When she first entered Prince Yanbei's Mansion, she thought it was weird that the maidservants of Prince Yanbei's Mansion all wore jewelry and hairpins that were so simple and did not have any patterns. At the time, she treated it as Yanbei having a different kind of sense of beauty than from the capital. Only now did she realize that what they wore were not accessories, but weapons to kill.
Both sides had weapons in their hands. Although the blades in the guards' hands seemed more intimidating, a weapon was a weapon. The most important thing was to know how to use them.
Although the small iron rods did not have any killing power, it had become a sharp weapon in the hands of Prince Yanbei's Mansion maidservants. The guards' swords were not able to touch their bodies even once.
With the small iron rod in each of their hands, the maidservants of Prince Yanbei's Mansion struck the group of guards until they cried for their mother. At the same time, they strictly followed Ji Yunkai's orders and did not cripple or kill anyone.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the maidservants had all knocked down the guards and kicked them to the side of the road to ensure that they would not obstruct the path.
Baoqin, Luoqi, Shishu, Ruhua… these maidservants' faces were not red at all, nor did they gasp for breath, and their clothes and hair were not messed up in the slightest. They took the iron rods in their hand and one by one, the iron rods returned to being ordinary bracelets and the chains were put back around their necks.
This was the first time they took action since entering the capital. They originally thought that the Imperial Guards under the Emperor's feet were powerful, but upon seeing them today, they realized that they were nothing more than mediocre.
"Very well, let's go!" Ji Yunkai did not praise them.
Ji Yunkai did not have any expectations at all for the Grand Princess Mansion's Chrysanthemum Viewing Feast. The biggest use of chrysanthemum flowers to her was placing them on tombs to pay respects to her ancestors. She… was not interested in appreciating them.
As for the guards of the Grand Princess Mansion, they were lying on the ground and wailing nonstop.
When the people of Prince Yanbei's Mansion passed by them, they wished they could beat on them again.
They dared to ask their Princess Consort to go through the small door, dared to shut them out, and dared to send troops to surround them, they deserved to be beaten up.
Was the Grand Princess Mansion that amazing? How could the Grand Princess Mansion not take their Prince Yanbei's Mansion seriously?
Today, they beat up the dogs for their masters to see and would make the Grand Princess understand that the people of Prince Yanbei's Mansion were not to be trifled with.
With no one stopping them, the carriage moved forward, following the path of Princess Lane outside the Grand Princess Mansion. This path was originally not called "Princess Lane". It was just like how Black Robe Lane was named because Wang Xie and the other two clan's disciples liked to wear black clothes to gain a reputation of nobility. Princess Lane was named after the Grand Princess.
After the Grand Princess came to live here, she chased away all the families in this area and also demolished their houses and built a huge garden in its place.
Right now, there was only the Grand Princess's household in Princess Lane.
Once they leave Princess Lane, they would be in Jing'an Avenue. Once they reach Jing'an Avenue, the people in Grand Princess Mansion would not dare to cause trouble
for them, but...
Just as Prince Yanbei's Mansion's carriage was about to drive out of Princess Lane, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from behind as a guard respectfully shouted, "Prince Yanbei's Mansion, please halt! Our Princess has especially come to apologize to Princess Yanbei!"
The voice of the person was loud and clear. It was fortunate that there was no one living in Princess Lane. Otherwise, the entire capital would know that the Grand Princess was apologizing to Prince Yanbei's Mansion.
In this kind of situation, even if no one else heard, Ji Yunkai still would not be able to leave with her eyes closed.
Ji Yunkai said, "Stop!" It was just the Grand Princess. Although she was too lazy to acknowledge her, it did not mean that she was afraid.
She knew the character of the Grand Princess very well. The original owner had interacted with the Grand Princess quite a bit and had suffered a lot at the hands of the Grand Princess as well. At that time, the original owner was still a quasi-empress, but this Grand Princess dared to look down on the original owner, belittling the original owner to such a pathetic state. Now…
She might not be the quasi-empress anymore, but if the Grand Princess still dared to cause trouble for her, or belittle her or use her to raise others, she could not be blamed for being impolite.
She was not the original owner and was no longer the quasi-empress. She would not step on someone's head just for the sake of becoming the mother of the country...
