Chapter 723 Farewell to the Jade Box!
s, the hallmark of a wealthy woman, and declared, "Make money, build a big house!"Everyone was amused and laughed, Li Laotai even took back her granddaughter, spoiling her like a precious treasure.Fro...At this time, the princess brought her nanny over.
Compared to Bao Lei, the princess obviously speaks and acts more tactfully.
She greeted the ladies' elders and complimented their dresses and jewelry, which made them all very happy.
She then took her leave, giving the girls space to play by themselves.
Bao Lei took everyone to the greenhouse on one side of the garden.
The Chang Princess's residence did not have glass, so the greenhouse was naturally incomparable to Jia Yin's.
But this greenhouse was built with three and a half sides of brick, and the roof was covered with thick white satin cloth over wooden rafters.
At noon, when the sun was at its hottest, they removed the straw mats. Sunlight streamed through the white cloth and made the warm room bright and cozy.
Many flowers have already bloomed, they are living proof of the flower viewing feast's reputation.
Women are born loving flowers. As soon as noble ladies entered the warm room, they scattered and accompanied each other to admire the flowers and chat, it was very lively.
"Following Jia Yin, Bao Zhu muttered with a discontented face, "Jia Yin sister, this place isn't as nice as your greenhouse. There are no grapevines, cucumbers, or banana trees..."
Jia Yin shook her head at her, soothingly saying, "Don't talk too much, when we get home, you can stay in my warm room!"
Only then did Baozhu smile and take the opportunity to propose a condition.
"Okay, I want to eat peaches! Last time I went there, the peaches were already as big as bowls. In two days they'll definitely be ripe!"
Jia Yin giggled and playfully hit her, then found a tea table to sit down and continue drinking tea and watching the commotion.
As for flower viewing...
In her space, even a random potted plant could be the king or queen!
Baozhu was bored, so Jiayin found a red rope and taught her how to jump rope.
As a result, Shui Ling soon approached, taking the opportunity to tidy up the mistress's skirt and saying, "My lady, Miss Bao has called out five or six misses."
Jia Yin raised an eyebrow and said, “Go check it out, but be careful not to be discovered. Don't take any risks.”
Shui Ling nodded excitedly, then tiptoed along the wall and slipped out.
Jia Yin had something on her mind and couldn't sit still. Just as she was about to get up and look around, the Third Princess arrived.
Maybe she found it difficult to leave the palace, so she put in a lot of effort and arrived late.
But she went straight to Jiayin, the malice in her eyes was clear and obvious.
"Li Jiayin, do you see that this palace doesn't know how to kowtow"
Jia Yin got up, smiling with innocent confusion, and replied: "Princess, you are the Emperor's daughter, a princess of noble status. I am only a county princess, of course I must pay my respects."
But as long as you perform the bowing etiquette, without having to bow your head, wouldn't these rules have been taught to you by your princess governess
"I remember Imperial Uncle has already changed many governesses for the princess. Could it be they still haven't earnestly taught her!
"
"Next time I go to the palace, I'll definitely tell Uncle Emperor and ask him to find a stricter nurse for the princess!"
The third princess gritted her teeth in anger, wishing she could tear off Jia Yin's hypocritical and innocent facade.
This isn't curiosity, it's plain intimidation from the Emperor!
The third princess still wanted to get angry, but the two wet nurses who followed her quickly stepped forward to persuade her.
You see, the last nanny who was replaced, her whereabouts are still unknown! They certainly don't want to meet the same fate.
Luckily, Bao Lei appeared at this time. She glanced into the distance and saw those noble ladies who were watching the commotion. She quickly said: "Princess, county princess, it's too hot here."
"Our mansion has newly built a pavilion called Ting Feng Ge, right next door. The wind there sounds like a flute playing, so pleasant to the ears. "
"Princess and noble lady, why not grace us with your presence"
Jia Yin's heart skipped a beat, guessing that today's "main event" was finally here.
Just now, she forced Bao Lei to bow. Bao Lei was so angry that she didn't even get upset, showing that she has ulterior motives.
Endure hardship and adversity to achieve one's goals.
At this moment, to distinguish her from the crowd, she was accompanied by a third princess, who was none other than Tu Qiong Bi Jian!
The Third Princess did want to make Jiayin humiliate herself in public, but remembering her father's disdain and the Marquis's coldness, she ultimately hesitated. So, she turned her head and walked away.
Jia Yin entrusted the pearl to He Mama and, with only Dong Mei in tow, followed her.
The Listening Wind Pavilion is indeed not far away. It's just past the garden.
Even if the boat has only three pounds of nails left, the Princess's Mansion wouldn't be drained of its fortune overnight!
At least the Qifeng Pavilion is decorated quite well. The tables, chairs and wooden furniture are all made of nanmu wood, which is both grand and beautiful.
A large soft bed was placed by the window, with a small tea table in the middle. On both sides were plump pillows covered in crimson satin embroidered with plum blossoms, making it look very comfortable.
Bao Lei, with Princess Three and Jia Yin seated on either side of the soft couch, laughed and said, "I have something good here. Today is a rare occasion for both the princess and the county lady to visit, so you must try it."
"But if the elders saw this, they'd surely scold us for being too playful. I wonder, would Princess and Lady be daring enough to try it"
The third princess most disliked being restricted, and at her rebellious age, she immediately impatiently said: "Stop talking nonsense, what is there that this princess wouldn't dare to do Hurry up and show me."
Having said that, she opened her mouth again and drove away the nanny who had raised her.
Two nannies hesitated for a moment, and the third princess picked up a soft pillow nearby and threw it.
The nanny had no choice but to lower her head and leave.
Jiayin thought for a moment, then motioned to Dongmei, "Aunt Dongmei, why don't you go out and have a cup of tea I'll call you if anything happens."
Winter Plum, without leaving a trace, swept the room and found there was nowhere to hide. She frowned and went out.
Bao Lei was quite satisfied. She quickly opened the cabinet in the corner, taking out two long cigarette holders and a small lamp, as well as a jade box.
Jia Yin saw clearly, her heart skipped a beat in alarm.
Fortunately, she wasn't a real child and quickly adjusted her expression from surprise to curiosity.
"Miss Bao, what is this It's almost like the dry tobacco those old men in our village smoke!"
Jia Yin picked up the long pipe and twirled it in her hand, appearing indifferent.
As for the Third Princess, she had never seen anyone smoke a dry pipe and picked one up to play with.
Bao Lei quickly said: "Your Highness's guess is almost right. This is a pipe, also used for smoking, but the smoke drawn from it is not tobacco, but Immortal Ointment."
"Fairy ointment Could it be an ointment that makes people into fairies" Jiayin purposely changed the subject.
This left Bao Lei's eyes filled with contempt, but she patiently explained to him.
"The county princess is jesting. People are people, how can they become immortals."
But this elixir, just a few sips and it will allow you to temporarily transform into an immortal, enjoying the freedom of soaring through the clouds, able to do anything.
The third princess's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but urge, "How do you draw this thing Hurry up and let me try it."
Bao Lei swiftly lit the kerosene lamp and opened the jade box, scooping out a spoonful of brown smoke paste. But before she could bring it to the lamp to heat, Jia Yin's nose twitched, then she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and suddenly started dry heaving.
Bao Lei was startled, and the third princess was also full of surprise.
Bāo Léi then said, "What's wrong with the princess"
"I... I smell something foul, it's making me feel nauseous!"
Jia Yin blushed and mumbled a quick response. Before she could cover her mouth again, she spat a mouthful of filth all over the table.
Most of it is snacks I just ate and haven't digested yet!d vegetable shop door, gave him a few instructions, and then ignored the third princess.The third princess was truly not polite; in the end, she carried two full baskets of fruit back to the palace.In...
