Upon hearing Xiao Shici’s words, blood drained from Yu Xiaoxiao’s face, and her expression stiffened. However, she had always been shameless and could adjust quickly. She bowed and said, “A-as it turns out, it’s the Third Prince of Beixiao. Xiaoxiao greets the Third Prince.”

Xiao Shici did not even bother to look at Yu Xiaoxiao. Instead, he said to Yu Yunxi gently, “You’ve experienced a lot today. Hurry up and go rest. I won’t disturb you anymore.”

“Alright, you should return and rest as well,” Yu Yunxi said with a slight nod.

Seeing that Yu Yunxi and Xiao Shici ignored her, Yu Xiaoxiao gnashed her teeth until they were about to fall off.

After Xiao Shici got into the carriage, Yu Yunxi walked into the residence.

Yu Xiaoxiao quickly chased after Yu Yunxi and said mockingly, “Cousin, you’re really too much! When we were at the Temple of Eternal Peace, you embarrassed the Empress Dowager and the others. What if you angered them? Although you’re the Eldest Princess, how could you oppose the Empress

Dowager so blatantly? Mother and I were worried about you.”

Due to Yu Yunxi’s actions, it was obvious to Yu Xiaoxiao that the Empress

Dowager now found Yu Yunxi an eyesore. Moreover, before she returned, the Empress specially reminded her to keep an eye on Yu Yunxi. Ever since Yu Yunxi returned, she felt that her limelight had been stolen by Yu Yunxi.

‘What’s so great about this b*tch? Doesn’t she just rely on her status as the Eldest Princess?’

Yu Yunxi stopped in her tracks and said with a faint smile, “You just reminded me of something. When those people made things difficult for me, where were you, my self-proclaimed cousin sister? You can’t even compare to Shuangshuang. At least, she spoke up for me.”

Yu Xiaoxiao froze. She thought to herself furiously, ‘I can’t wait for you to die. Why would I speak for you?’

However, when she thought about the Empress’ instructions, Yu Xiaoxiao could only suppress her anger and force a smile on her face as she said, “Cousin, I was just worried that the Empress Dowager would be dissatisfied with our King of Zhenbei’s Residence. I naturally knew that you were wrongly accused. However, I believed in your capability to resolve the matter. If you could not resolve it, Mother and I would have definitely pleaded on your behalf.

Meng Xia and the others rolled their eyes when they heard Yu Xiaoxiao’s hypocritical words, feeling like they were going to throw up the food in their stomachs.Follow current s on ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

‘The Eldest Princess is really amazing for being able to tolerate a disgusting person like Yu Xiaoxiao…’

Yu Xiaoxiao continued to say sarcastically, “Cousin, I advise you to stay away from Yu Shuangshuang. She’s a concubine’s daughter; her mother is lowly.

They’re all unpresentable. Who knows when she’ll turn around and bite you?”

“That’s right. You just reminded me of something, ” Yu Yunxi said with a smile before she turned to Meng Xia and continued to say, “Meng Xia, tomorrow is the state banquet. Shuangshuang probably doesn’t have any suitable dresses to wear to the banquet. Send a dress to her.”

“You’re taking her to the state banquet?” Yu Xiaoxiao questioned in a shrill voice, “Yu Shuangshuang is just a concubine’s daughter! How’s she qualified to attend the state banquet?!”

“It doesn’t matter if she’s qualified or not. She’s my cousin. Who would dare to say she’s not qualified?” Yu Yunxi said as she glanced at Yu Xiaoxiao, revealing her domineering aura.

How could a delicate young lady like Yu Xiaoxiao withstand such an aura? Her face paled immediately.

Yu Yunxi continued to say to Meng Xia, “The Emperor Emeritus bestowed me with a lot of jewelry. Find a few and send them to Cousin Shuangshuang.”

‘Even the Empress doesn’t have any jewelry bestowed by the Emperor

Emeritus, but Yu Yunxi is casually giving a few to Yu Shuangshuang! Yu

Shuangshuang is clearly just a lowly concubine’s daughter!’

Yu Xiaoxiao felt like she was going to die from jealousy at this moment. She quickly said, “I’m also your cousin…”

Yu Xiaoxiao wanted to outshine everyone, after all. However, all these years, the noble ladies had always looked down on her.

Although the second branch of the Yu family lived in the King of Zhenbei’s Residence, Second Master Yu was just an idle official. In order to maintain the prestige of the King of Zhenbei’s Residence, they hired a lot of servants and bought many things. As such, their treasury had long been emptied. If it were not for those rich businessmen in the capital who secretly sent things to residence to curry favor with the King of Zhenbei, the second branch of the Yu family would not have been able to hold on for so long.

Due to the lack of money, every time Yu Xiaoxiao attended a banquet, her clothes and accessories were not as good as the others.

‘If Yu Yunxi gave me some of her things, wouldn’t all those noble ladies be envious of me? I’ll be able to hold my head high at that moment!’

Yu Yunxi could clearly see the greedy and covetous expression on Yu Xiaoxiao’s face at this moment. She scoffed inwardly as she thought to herself, ‘She can keep dreaming.’

Yu Yunxi did not intend to be polite at all. She said with a sneer, “You want the things my grandfather bestowed me? Are you worthy?”

Yu Xiaoxiao’s face turned red from anger. She hated Yu Yunxi so much that she wished Yu Yunxi would die.

At this moment, Zhu’er, Yu Xiaoxiao’s maidservant, suddenly rushed over. She said excitedly, “Young Miss, Young Miss! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent people over!”

Upon hearing this, the gloomy expression on Yu Xiaoxiao’s face vanished immediately. In order to make sure that Yu Yunxi would hear her, she deliberately raised her voice and said, “The Crown Prince must have sent something to me because of the state banquet tomorrow!”

Yu Yunxi yawned, rubbing her eyes. She was very tired and wanted to go back and sleep.

Seeing that Yu Yunxi was about to leave, Yu Xiaoxiao grew anxious. After all, it was rare for her to be presented with an opportunity to show off in front of Yu Yunxi. She quickly blocked Yu Yunxi’s path and said, “Cousin, it’s already so late. Perhaps something happened. You’re the Eldest Princess and have a close relationship with the Crown Prince. How can you leave just like that?”

Yu Yunxi looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and asked mockingly, “I have a close relationship with the Crown Prince? Are you blind?”

Yu Xiaoxiao’s expression darkened immediately. She did not expect Yu Yunxi to be so stubborn.

Unexpectedly, Yu Yunxi continued to say, “However, since you want me to accompany you so much, I’ll go along with you. After all, you’re my… cousin.”

Yu Xiaoxiao was naturally overjoyed when she heard these words.

‘B*tch, let’s see how I embarrass you after this!’

In Yu Xiaoxiao’s mind, Yu Yunxi would definitely be very jealous once Yu Yunxi saw how Chu Yuefu, the Crown Prince, valued her and ignored Yu Yunxi.

The more Yu Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more excited she became. She quickly said to her maidservant, “Since the people from the Eastern Palace are here, hurry up and invite my parents and grandmother over. We have to show respect to the Crown Prince.”

Since Yu Xiaoxiao wanted to embarrass Yu Yunxi, it was naturally better to have more people present.

The maidservant understood Yu Xiaoxiao’s thoughts and hurriedly left.

Meanwhile, Meng Xia called out worriedly, “Eldest Princess.”

Although Meng Xia did not care about Chu Yuefu and his Eastern Palce, she did not want Yu Yunxi to be embarrassed after all..
