Evil Girl Reborn: The Eldest Princess, She Takes Manchurian Civil and Military Affairs

Chapter 98 Aunt and Nephew Rejoicing
Xie Lan cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, princess. I understand."

Yiman pursed his lips, with a smile in his eyes, "Also, remember to call me cousin from now on, otherwise I will tell Aunt Huang that you don't respect your elders."

Their expressions froze, and they looked at each other with their heads slightly lowered, "Yes, cousin."

Seeing their embarrassed expressions, Yiman cleared his throat and held back his smile, "I am going to see the emperor's aunt. You can escort her. Go down and wait."

"Yes."

Seeing the door close, Ji Man stood up and stepped forward to help arrange her clothes.

"Princess, does this count as subduing Young Master Xie?"

Yiman smiled and shook his head slightly, "No, they just temporarily believed my words after weighing the pros and cons. If anything goes wrong in the future, it can be treated as if what happened today did not happen."

"Then wouldn't today's work be in vain?"

"At least I told them that there is this way, and I also let them see clearly the situation that I want them to see clearly. Young man, the fastest way to conquer is to change it with sincerity. As the saying goes, people's hearts will be revealed over time. The worst that can happen is that you just have to cover up half of your heart that is harboring filth and evil."

Ji Lan tidied up her clothes and supported Yiman, "Princess, tidied up, let's go."

Yiman responded, went downstairs, and got into the carriage.

Under the escort of the four brothers of the Xie family, they arrived at the mansion of the eldest princess.

The eldest princess had already sent a steward to wait at the main entrance. As soon as she saw the carriage stop, she hurried forward.

"Slave, please see the eldest princess. The eldest princess sent your maid here to wait for you early in the morning. But what trouble did you encounter on the way?"

Yiman got off the carriage and gave him a hand, flattering the steward.

Ji Lan smiled lightly and gave a half salute, "I met the four young masters from the Xie family on the way, so we came together. Thank you, the steward, for waiting for a long time."

"I see, what did this female officer say? It's your duty as a slave. Please come in quickly. Please come in quickly."

In the palace of the eldest princess, there is a scene every three steps and a painting every ten steps. There are carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, which is so beautiful.Even so, it does not appear extravagant. Instead, it is elegance everywhere, and the pattern is evident from the outside.

With such an arrangement, the owner must be a person who is thoughtful but fresh and elegant.

As soon as I walked into the flower hall, I saw a woman with a few strands of white hair on her temples getting up and walking over.

Man Man took two quick steps and saluted quickly, "My niece has met the emperor's aunt. After ten years of separation, the emperor's aunt is still as charming as ever."

Yiman can no longer remember the memories before the palace change. I just heard the prince say that when she was young, the imperial aunt used to hold her and play with her when she came to Beijing.

The eldest princess had a kind face and was not wearing palace clothes. Her clothes were simple but elegant.

"It's Yiman, come on, let Auntie Huang take a look."

As he spoke, he held Yiman's arm with his arm to prevent her from kneeling down.

He looked up and down, his eyes moist, as if he really saw his childhood through time.

Yiman lowered his head slightly, with a smile, looking like an obedient junior.

"Yes, we haven't seen each other for ten years. You have grown up. You have grown up."

Xie Zhao couldn't bear to see such a scene of reunion and tears, so he stepped forward with a smile and said, "Uncle, please let the eldest princess in quickly. We can't walk if we are blocked here."

Only then did the eldest princess see the Xie brothers who had been following behind her. With loving eyes, she pretended to blame her, "She's neither older nor younger. According to seniority, she is your cousin. Why are you here together?"

Xie Zhao cleared his throat, his eyes a little unnatural, "I just met you on the road, escorting the eldest princess here, let's go in quickly."

Just in time for lunch, Yiman went to eat with the eldest princess. The Xie brothers withdrew because they were juniors and sons-in-law.

"Try this, fresh from the backyard pond."

Yiman tasted it with a smile, "It's very delicious." The eldest princess looked at Yiman eating elegantly and sighed, "You were fearless when you were young, and you loved to steal the prince's food, but you didn't expect that you would become such a good person now. You’re a lady now.”

Yiman stood up with a smile and served some dishes to the eldest princess, "You are young and ignorant, thanks to the protection of the emperor's aunt, and the generosity of the prince and brother."

The eldest princess sighed, "The prince is indeed generous and filial. I live as a widow in Beijing. In addition to the Xie family, only people from the East Palace occasionally come to send things and visit. Now that you are here, you will also have the four boys from the Xie family. It will definitely happen in the future." lively."

Yiman smiled lightly and nodded, "The Xie family's young masters really have different personalities and are very charming."

"Among the younger members of the Xie family, they are the most noisy. The Xie family had no choice but to ask me to suppress these mud monkeys."

Yiman smiled and said, "Auntie Huang is the Tathagata Buddha, and only you can conquer Mr. Xie."

The eldest princess was amused by Yiman, "You are the only one who knows how to flatter me. They have been in the capital for two or three years. If you want to secretly come out to play, you can call them. I will not tell your father."

Yiman lowered his voice and pretended to be a secret, "Thank you, Auntie Huang."

The aunt and nephew smiled at each other after saying this, and chatted happily over lunch.

After leaving the eldest princess's mansion, the smile on Yiman's face slowly dissipated, she got on the carriage, closed her eyes and rested.

"Princess, I see that you have a very good relationship with the eldest princess. The eldest princess also loves the younger generation. I have never seen such an enlightened elder."

Yiman rubbed his temples, "Probably because she is the eldest princess, Ji Lan, what do you think?"

Ji Lan thought for a moment, "The eldest princess may have deep feelings for Mr. Xie."

Yiman opened his eyes and said, "What should I say?"

"You chatted with the eldest princess for half an hour, talking about several young masters of the Xie family, but you didn't say anything about the Xie family."

Yiman nodded appreciatively, "Yes, the eldest princess is wary of the royal family."

"Isn't the eldest princess the elder sister of His Majesty? How can she be wary of the royal family?"

"Times have changed and people's hearts have changed. As she is so kind to me now, she must be so kind to the noble daughters of the Zhou and Cui families."

Ji Lan frowned slightly, "After all, we are relatives, shouldn't we?"

"The eldest princess was able to move between the late emperor and the Xie family and flourish. In recent years, the Xie family has become more and more prosperous in Yizhou. It is probably due to her. I don't know the full picture, so I can only speculate."

"Princess, shall we go back to the palace?"

Speaking of returning to the palace, Yiman thought of Zhou Yu again and sighed helplessly.

We have to find a way to satisfy Zhou Yu without letting the Zhou family win the hearts of the people, harming the interests of the royal family, and affecting the coverage of the New Deal.

If the Zhou family can be split, for example, by creating a Southern Zhou family and a Northern Zhou family, then the Zhou family's strength will be greatly reduced in the eyes of outsiders, and it will be logical to put the Zhou family in the last column on the first page.

But Zhou Yu would definitely not agree to this.

His wish is to protect the Zhou family. If the Zhou family collapses, I don't know how he will react.

"Princess?"

Man Man came back to his senses and responded, "Go to Taiyun Hou Mansion."

Ji Lan was stunned, and even Song Guo raised his head and looked at Yi Man in surprise.

"Princess, why are we going to the Fang family? I heard that the Fang family is still making trouble."

Yiman smiled slightly, "I remember Mrs. Fang is a branch of the Zhou family, so it's better to make trouble."
