"Oh my, Princess jiejie, what's going on? I heard you weren't in the Snow Courtyard early this morning. Did you go somewhere busy?" Yun Youlian, seeing Qu Tan'er, scrutinized her from head to toe with a strange tone.
**(Jiejie is ordinarily a form address meaning "elder sister", but it is being used here as a form of hierarchy between the wives, couldn't figure out a proper English term)**
Qu Tan'er glanced at the person in front of her and couldn't help but laugh.
She hadn't forgotten that Mo Liancheng seemed to have mentioned that Yun Youlian was sent over by the Crown Prince, with a background of the brothel but forced to pretend to be a noble lady. She had been manipulated like a monkey by Mo Liancheng. Now that she was so active, was it because Mo Yihuai instructed her to investigate and distinguish truth from falsehood? Suddenly, she found the woman surnamed Yun extremely laughable.
At the same time, Qu Tan'er was helpless. She had intended to come back and take a good nap, but it seemed temporarily impossible now. She comforted Jing Xin with a pat on her arm, "Don't worry, I was just feeling bored, so I came out for a walk."
"It's good that Master is back," Jing Xin replied.
Qu Tan'er glanced at Yun Youlian and walked into the Snow Courtyard.
Jing Xin followed, and indeed, Yun Youlian also followed.
Seeing Yun Youlian following, Qu Tan'er had no intention of returning to her room and entered the side hall.
She had just wanted to instruct Jing Xin to prepare some refreshments and invite Yun Youlian.
Unexpectedly—
"Jing Xin, go make a cup of tea to moisten my throat," Yun Youlian glanced at Jing Xin and ordered quite smoothly, completely disregarding the legitimate owner. After saying that, she found a seat for herself, intending to take the lounge chair next to her. Unexpectedly, Jing Xin stepped forward to block her.
Yun Youlian stared at Jing Xin with a sinister expression.
However, she still had some sense of propriety and didn't erupt. Instead, she turned to sit in a nearby guest chair.
Qu Tan'er slowly walked forward and, as if nothing had happened, lazily sat on the lounge chair, speaking nonchalantly, "Jing Xin, I'm thirsty." However, the tone contained a bit of disregard for Yun Youlian's intentions.
Hearing this, Jing Xin immediately went to pour a cup of tea.
Qu Tan'er took a sip, smiled slightly, and praised, "Hmm, the tea today is quite fragrant."
"This is a tea specially brewed for Master by this servant."
After Jing Xin finished speaking, Yun Youlian's face instantly darkened, and an air of gloom swept over her.
Although she spoke first, she was just a servant. Not only did she not pour tea, but she also ignored her?
"Really? Jing Xin, you are understanding my preferences more and more," Qu Tan'er chuckled, deliberately taking a big sip of the tea and then handing the empty cup to Jing Xin, asking her to pour another one.
"Does Master like the tea brewed by this servant?"
"Yes, it suits my taste, making progress."
The two bantered back and forth, discussing tea without any intention of pretending. However, the person completely ignored by them, Yun Youlian, was enraged, her face turning green.
"Oh, are you still here?" Qu Tan'er, after finishing another cup of tea, swept her gaze curiously at Yun Youlian. It seemed like she was puzzled by her presence.
"Yes, I am still here," Yun Youlian's mouth twitched, anger visible but unable to vent.
"Did you come to find this Princess for something?" Qu Tan'er looked at her in confusion. After saying that, she leaned back in the lounge chair, smiled casually at Jing Xin, and added a comment, "Jing Xin, you understand my heart the most. You know I love this lounge chair the most. No one is allowed to sit in it."
As a result—
Yun Youlian was infuriated, she had intended to sit down there just now. No wonder Jing Xin blocked her, forcing her to turn to sit in a nearby guest chair, her face was worsening by the moment.
MiraiSaesang's Notes: Lady, you really chose the wrong time to come here, girl is tired and in no mood for bullshit right now 😅
