The Eldest Princess, Xiao PeiBai, nodded in satisfaction. It seemed, Jing Yue had learnt something and wasn’t someone completely illiterate. Her answers were also quite good.
Jing Yue secretly wiped the sweats on her forehead. She finally loosened her breath when the eldest princess let everyone go and enjoy themselves.
Scared her to death……
Jing Yue drank a mouthful of water controlling her frightened heart and saw ShangGuan LingLan walking towards her. ShangGuan LingLan happily patted Jing Yue’s shoulder and said, “Really not bad ah, those two verses a moment ago were really good.”
“Hehehe (chuckle)…… They were sheer luck.” Jing Yue chuckled awkwardly. How could she come up with those verses? She was completely imitating the ‘Three Hundred Poems of Tang Dynasty’. She was lucky that she had learnt about this subject during her training in her previous life, otherwise, today she would have really lost her face.
Jing Yue stood up. She turned her head towards ShangGuan LingLan and Ning XiangYuan, these two persons and asked, “Why are the two of you here?”
“What else? Of course we came following our mothers.” ShangGuan LingLan spoke, shrugging her shoulders.
Ning XiangYuan also nodded to show that she also followed her own mother. Jing Yue had just understood that they actually were all brought by their mothers to this place. Now that the children had gotten together, the mothers were trying to curry favor with the eldest princess.
Ning XiangYuan followed Jing Yue and ShangGuan LingLan walking around in the manor. She pointed at a pond full of lotuses and said, “This manor is really huge! Take a look at those blossoming lotuses, they are really beautiful.”
“They’re pa.s.sable. There are a lot more lotuses than these in my courtyard.” Jing Yue said, casting a quick look at the pond and unenthusiastically withdrew her gaze.
“Really? If there is a chance in the future, we have to go to your fu and have a look. Speaking of this, I have also never been to ninth Huang Shu’s w.a.n.gfu!” Ning XiangYuan got really excited when she spoke.
“I want to go too.” ShangGuan LingLan said to Jing Yue, staring and looking extremely resolute. Jing Yue was somewhat dumbfounded. She looked at these two people, who at this moment seemed like a wolf and a tiger, saying, “Alright alright alright…… isn’t it only a w.a.n.gfu? There’s nothing good to be seen.”
“Oh……” The two persons cheered. They had already started to imagine how the legendary ninth Huang Shu’s mansion looked like.
Jing Yue helplessly rolled her eyes. She had just started to walk when a small maid, coming from in front of her, suddenly crashed into her. That maid instantly bowed and apologized to Jing Yue. Jing Yue waved her hand, totally didn’t put it in her mind. She completely didn’t notice that when the maid turned around and left, there was a strange emotion flickering in her eyes.

“Jing Yue, take a look! That place over there is the hunting area. I heard the eldest princess often goes inside to hunt.” ShangGuan LingLan enviously pointed at the area that surrounded the manor and spoke softly.
“Let’s also make this in the future! Make one bigger than this.” Jing Yue boldly waved her hand and spoke.
“Right! We will also put fence around a mountain! Inside, if we want to do anything, we’ll just do anything!” ShangGuan LingLan saw Jing Yue’s bold manner and immediately followed her and spoke.
“The idea is good, however, do we have the money ah?” Ning XiangYuan blinked her eyes and cruelly brought this reality up. Jing Yue and ShangGuan LingLan, the two persons instantly went silent. They glanced at each other before turning their bodies around silently and walked away.
“Money ah……”
“En! It’s all about money ah……”
“Hehehe (chuckle)……” the two persons walked away laughing, leaving a confused Ning XiangYuan who stood frozen behind. She had finally started to step forward wanting to chase after Jing Yue and ShangGuan LingLan when unexpectedly, she heard some kind of strange noises coming from outside the fence behind her. She abruptly stopped her steps and turned her body around to look.
Those weird noises seemed to be moving. It became louder and louder until finally, under Ning XiangYuan’s stunned gaze, a tiger covered with stripes all over its body knocked the fence open. The tiger roared and ran towards Ning XiangYuan.
