"What do you want?"
The Grand Princess had truly gotten used to being fawned over by the original owner. It was her fault for not letting her off; she was not the original owner.
"So, Grand Princess, what do you want? Beat them back?" Ji Yunkai said unhurriedly, and before the Grand Princess could reply, she said again, "Just that, Grand Princess, are you sure that the few people you've brought here can beat my maidservants?"
There was no mockery, no contempt, just a statement of the truth.
"Ji Yunkai, you…" The Grand Princess raised her whip, and was about to lash out, but was stopped by the guards behind her. "Princess, don't ruin the Emperor's plan."
"You…" The Grand Princess "you" lasted for a long time, but in the end, she angrily lowered her hand and said while gnashing her teeth, "Prince Yanbei's Wife, I was in the wrong today. Please forgive me. I will get someone to open the door. Prince Yanbei's Wife, please show us some face."
However, she knew that this was impossible. The Grand Princess had appeared here, so she would not allow her to return.
"Are you not giving me face?" The Grand Princess was originally stifling her anger, but upon hearing these words, she immediately became furious. If not for the people behind her holding her back, she would have fallen out with them.
When had she ever suffered like this?
Looking at the capital, which family's madams and young ladies were not polite to her? Who would dare disrespect her?
Ji Yunkai replied with a question, "Where did you come up with this?" If she was not giving face to the Grand Princess, then she would not be here.
"I have already personally come to invite you, yet you, Prince Yanbei's Wife, do not honor me. If you are not unwilling to give me a face, then what is it?" The Grand Princess gritted her teeth as she dismounted from her horse and walked towards Ji Yunkai's carriage.
But just as she took two steps, she was stopped by a maidservant beside Ji Yunkai: "Princess, please wait."
"Out of the way!" The Grand Princess slapped away the maidservant's hand and walked to the side of the horse carriage in large strides, "Prince Yanbei's Wife, I have come personally to invite you."
Ji Yunkai said, "The Princess has given an invitation, how could I dare disobey?" If she did not say anything, the Grand Princess would probably spend the entire day with her, making the madams in the mansion wait for her all day, and spreading the news… She was afraid that she would become the public enemy of those madams.
Although she did not care, she did not want to cause any trouble. Women were the pettiest. Once one offended a group of women, one would not be able to rest in peace in the future.
"Prince Yanbei's Wife is too courteous. This Princess is too lazy to ride a horse, can you bring This Princess along?" Without waiting for Ji Yunkai's reply, the Grand Princess had already jumped onto the carriage. The maidservant beside her wanted to stop her but was stopped by Ji Yunkai.
The other party was the Grand Princess. Although she could not do anything to her, it would not be a problem for her to torment a few of her maidservants.
Although the people of Prince Yanbei's Mansion did not view her as their master, they had followed her today and listened to her commands. Naturally, she had to protect them.
"Princess, please." The carriage was very wide, Ji Yunkai sat in the middle and did not move, allowing the Grand Princess to sit on it as she pleased.
Unexpectedly, the Grand Princess did not sit on the left and right side of Ji Yunkai but instead sat cross-legged in front of her. She sized her up with a measuring gaze, and in the end, her gaze landed on her mask. She said seriously, "Ji Yunkai, you have changed!"
After putting on the mask, Ji Yunkai became more confident and flamboyant, and also more beautiful and dazzling than before. Ji Yunkai had changed so much, and she did not know if she still cared about the Emperor like before.
"Since I have married, I, naturally, will be different. But, the Princess has indeed never changed." Ji Yunkai knew what the Grand Princess was saying, that she did not treat her as well as before.
But why did the Grand Princess think that she should unconditionally treat her well and let her go?
In the past, she was the older sister of the original owner's future husband. If the original owner wanted to build a good relationship with someone from the Imperial Family, she would naturally do so. But she was now Prince Yanbei's Wife, what qualifications did the Grand Princess have to make her treat her like how she treated her in the past?
The Grand Princess replied, "This Princess thought you were sincerely treating This Princess well in the past." Although she had always despised Ji Yunkai's sincerity and never treated her seriously, she was originally a person who had always been unconditionally nice to her and paid unconditionally for her own sake. Now that she suddenly took back this kindness, she really could not get used to it.
Ji Yunkai said, "I am indeed sincere, and I am sincere right now." The original owner had been treating the Grand Princess sincerely. Although she had a goal, who would treat someone well for no reason?
Parents treated their children well because they were their flesh and blood. Without this, how many people would be able to unconditionally treat someone else's child well and pay a price for someone else's child?
"You've changed, becoming a stranger to me. No wonder the Emperor doesn't like you anymore." The Grand Princess knew how much Ji Yunkai valued the Emperor. In the past, whenever the Emperor was mentioned, Ji Yunkai would immediately change her opinion. But when she mentioned the Emperor now, Ji Yunkai did not have any expression on her face at all.
Thinking about Ji Yunkai's actions today, the Grand Princess' eyes flashed with worry.
Ji Yunkai did not seem to be as easy to deal with as before. She did not even dare to give her face.
"The Emperor has never liked me before. No matter what, the Emperor won't like me, so why don't I be myself?" Ji Yunkai did not know what the Grand Princess was planning and purposely pretended to be injured but unwilling to admit it.
It seemed that Ji Yunkai still had delusions about the Emperor. She was indeed cheap!
"Is that so?" Ji Yunkai lowered her eyes, covering the ridicule in her eyes.
It was fine to lie to the original owner, but her?
Forget it, she was not a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young girl, who just by being coaxed by a man, had forgotten about her worth.
"Of course, you're the Emperor's fiancee. If the Emperor doesn't look after you, then who would?" The Grand Princess was certain that if one was a bit more stupid, or had some sort of fantasy in their heart, they might believe her.
Unfortunately, Ji Yunkai was not the Ji Yunkai from long ago. She did not have any feelings for the Emperor, nor did she have any expectations of him. She would never believe her words; instead, she thought them ridiculous.
However, the Grand Princess did not know this. Seeing how Ji Yunkai had abandoned herself to "despair", the Grand Princess firmly believed that Ji Yunkai was still the Ji Yunkai who was willing to give up everything for the Emperor.
As for Ji Yunkai not giving her face today and injuring her guards, the Grand Princess only thought that she was venting her dissatisfaction.
After all, the Emperor had indeed let her down, and it was normal for Ji Yunkai to be dissatisfied...
