ter their meal, Old Mrs. Li gave them some of her golden fruits as well. Only one jade melon remained, which she was saving for her son and daughter-in-law to enjoy with her when they returned in the..."Damn you, dog slave! This princess will have her cut into a thousand pieces!" The Third Princess was furious and turned back to find the old Nanny to settle accounts.

Over the past month, she and Jia Yin were summoned to Shou Kang Palace every few days.

From initial worries and fears, to now using it more and more, it has truly been through many tests.

Most of it was written by the grandmothers, but at most they just copied Buddhist scriptures or used herbs to flavor the tea.

All of these are despicable means to humiliate or harm them.

Like today, directly attacking someone, it's the first time!

Jia Yin quickly pulled her, walking towards Zhi Lan Palace while persuading, "Don't worry, I didn't suffer any loss, did I It was the old hag who got what she deserved! She won't be seen for half a month after this, it's a good thing."

"Right!" The Third Princess finally reacted, lowering her voice and asking, "How did you know there was a needle on the mat, and that it hadn't been stuck into anyone yet And how did it end up sticking the old hag"

Jia Yin laughed, her eyes sparkling. Of course, she couldn't be said to have used her skirt as a cover when she knelt down and tucked the brocade cushion into her spatial pouch for a moment.

So, she vaguely replied, "Of course I have a way to protect myself. The old witch can't reach me. But when the old witch turned around, I stepped on her skirt."

She was afraid of falling and instinctively used a pad to cushion herself, but she forgot that the pad had needles on it, with medicine that would cause her whole body to break out in red bumps, taking at least half a month to fade!

"Haha, you're amazing! The old hag deserved it!" Princess Three was so happy she almost jumped up, then she took Jia Yin's arm and begged, "Dear sister, what method did you use Teach me!"

"Not teaching, this is my skill at looking after the house," Jia Yin said arrogantly, raising her chin and playing along. "Teaching apprentices would starve the master. I'm not that foolish."

"Oh no, absolutely not!" The Third Princess refused to give up, all the way making a fuss and joking with Jia Yin. They laughed and chatted as they returned to Zhi Lan Palace.

The second day was Jia Yin's return home to stay for a while. The third princess specially reported to the Emperor and went out of the palace to play with her for a day.

Jiayin didn't stop her, taking her to check on business first.

As soon as the two settled in the backyard of Baiyun Inn, Peng and Chen hurried over to pay their respects.

Chen Xi asked the masters what kind of snacks they wanted, and then quickly went to bake some new ones.

Jia Yin took the ledger and instructed Peng Chuan to take two boxes of snacks to the Jia family and pick up Bao Zhu to play.

As soon as the ledgers were finished and the new snacks were brought to the table, Baozhu rushed in like a whirlwind.

The original chubby girl was finally starting to slim down. She had grown taller and had some semblance of a young lady's appearance.

She threw herself into Jiayin's arms and began to complain, "Jiayin sister, you haven't come to play with me for ages! I thought you had forgotten me!"

You won't forget me even if you forget everyone else. Look, I asked Master Chen to bake your favorite pastries for you. Jia Yin was also happy to see her friend and handed her an egg tart.

As expected, Baozhu immediately beamed with delight.

The Third Princess sat opposite, also eating non-stop.

Seeing Jia Yin and Bao Zhu so close, like conjoined twins, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy.

"Precious Jewel, you didn't see me here Don't you know how to pay respects"

Jia Yin went out of the palace three times, both times accompanied by the third princess. Bao Zhu was already familiar with the third princess and naturally knew she was just a paper tiger.

Besides, all the maids and female attendants who came from the palace with her are serving outside, without any restraint.

So, Baozhu boldly rolled her eyes and mumbled, "Isn't it because you're jealous that Jiayin treats me better Humph, she eats and lives with you every day, while I only see her once every two weeks. And you still want to pick on me That's too much!"

The Third Princess wasn't angry at all, instead she proudly boasted, "Yes, Jiayin lives with me every day, eats with me, and yesterday we even fought an old demon together!"

"Old hag!" Baozhu immediately became interested and leaned closer, urging her, "Tell me quickly, how did you fight"

The two of them hit it off immediately.

Chatting and laughing, they had some snacks, and after a while, the three of them left Baiyun Guan and went to Tianttian Fruit and Vegetable Store.

Although the weather is warming up, some quick-witted farmers have already started planting early vegetables to sell in the city.

But the business of Tiantian Fruit and Vegetable is still very prosperous.

Since the protagonist of the shop is various fruits, vegetables are only supporting characters. Selling a few more or fewer doesn't matter much.

Before the almost-perfectly arranged fruit platter even made it to the table, Guli rushed over.

After Jia Yin entered the palace, she entrusted the hot pot restaurant, the fruit and vegetable shop, and Baiyun Guan to Gu Li, making him the chief manager.

If the shop has something it can't handle, several managers will call upon Gu Li.

Even if Guli couldn't solve it, they would only tell Li's family.

But so far, in almost two months, there hasn't been anything that Goole couldn't handle.

Jia Yin stayed behind with Princess San and Baozhu, who were eating fruit. She chatted with Gulì about business for a while, arranging everything meticulously. Jiārén and Lǐgē'er, as well as Lùzōng, Jīāxù, Guōwénháo, and others also came when they heard the news.

It turned out that the big exam was just around the corner. They were gathering at Lu's house to review, each coming up with a few questions and working through them together. By analyzing each other's approaches, they hoped to find some inspiration.

Jia Ren sent someone to the shop to pick up some lychees as a festive offering. Having heard that his sister had left the palace, he was coming over to see her.

Lu Zhong and the others naturally followed suit, so one after another, no one was left behind.

Although they didn't often see the Third Princess in their daily lives and weren't very familiar with her, Jia Yin being the Third Princess's reading companion now meant everyone had to be extra nice to her. They soon flattered the Third Princess, making her smile broadly.

Jia Yin also wanted to play with her brothers for a while longer, so she ordered the hotpot restaurant to prepare some things and send them over.

In another room, the palace maids and court ladies had a separate table set up for them, accompanied by Shui Ling and Shui Yun.

The third princess' ears no longer heard the nagging of her grandmother, but she was delighted and didn't care. She directly sat between Jia Yin and Bao Zhu.

Jia Yin was beside Jia Ren, and Bao Zhu was beside Jia Xu.

Thus, although there was no designated seating arrangement, by sitting next to each other, they avoided any impropriety.

Hot pot, by its very nature, is a lively dining experience.

The crowd was hard-pressed to be together, their laughter and chatter almost lifting the roof.

Not until the sun began to set did the crowd disperse, their round bellies a testament to their feast.

The third princess reluctantly got into the carriage, repeatedly urging Jia Yin to return to the palace early, which made Jia Yin laugh and cry.

Finally, she was sent off. Baozhu was also taken back to the Jia family by Jia Xu.

Jia Yin followed her brothers back to Suijinjiao Beach. Without the elders at home, the road back seemed much quieter.

Jia Yin couldn't help but think of her grandmother and the others, and asked, "Big brother, should the fleet sailing south have reached Quanzhou by now"

"It's about time!" Jia Ren also sighed, "Your third brother is getting married, and we can't even join the festivities."

Li Ge'er was quite open-minded and advised, "Don't worry, when the third brother returns, let him make up for the wedding wine for us."

As the three siblings chatted about everyday matters and walked home, they had no idea that a huge surprise awaited them in Quanzhou. They hadn't even received word from their family's fleet before this unexpected turn of events!

Here are two more for you. ~~ging me.""Humph, that Meow Brother was still licking his lips when he left. You think I didn't see" Tao Hongying didn't know about outsiders, but she knew exactly what her daughter had on her mind.Li...
