Just as everyone perked up their ears, a small maid hurriedly ran in from outside.
"Old Madam!"
The old madam of the Ji Family lifted her head and saw that it was Yunxiang.
"Has Princess Lianchun and Miss Pan’Er returned from the Palace?"
Upon hearing the na of Princess Lianchun, everyone couldn’t help but feel a jolt in their hearts.
Indeed, they had bet on the right horse. At this banquet of the Ji Family, Princess Lianchun really did show up!
"Yes, Old Madam, Princess Lianchun, Miss Pan’Er, and Miss Wei are all coming this way together."
The old madam of the Ji Family, upon hearing Yunxiang’s report, imdiately stood up with a cheerful smile.
"Princess Lianchun has arrived; I must go to greet her!"
As she rose, many stewards, young ladies, and madams in the courtyard imdiately followed suit.
"We’ll go with you!"
As soon as the words fell, a woman’s giggling voice ca from outside.
"How can I, being of the younger generation, let you, the esteed elder lady, co to greet ! Please sit and don’t get up."
Almost as the words were spoken, three won entered the courtyard. Who else could be leading them but Princess Lianchun?
"Greetings to the Princess!"
The ladies followed behind the old madam of the Ji Family, bowing and greeting Princess Lianchun.
Princess Lianchun hurriedly walked in and imdiately supported the old madam’s hands, saying, "I cannot accept your courtesy. In front of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, you don’t need to bow. How dare I accept your courtesy!"
The old madam hastily replied to Princess Lianchun’s words, "Princess, you are truly too modest, but you are a princess of the Royal Family; this courtesy cannot be abolished!"
"Alright, alright, please sit quickly. If you really offer this courtesy today, once I return to the Palace, the Empress Dowager and His Majesty will surely make trouble for !"
Princess Lianchun quickly pressed the old madam back into her seat.
Xie Pan’Er and Wei Wei’Er also ca to pay respects to the old madam of the Ji Family. Then, after greeting the various madams one by one, many young ladies ca over to make small talk, while at the gate of the courtyard suddenly ca a soft and joyful voice!
"Aunt! Beautiful Aunt!"
With this voice, a small figure imdiately appeared in everyone’s view!
The little girl was wearing a bright red jacket, with two small pigtails tied on her head, each adorned with a pearl hairpin that was quite beautiful.
No!
It was a pearl hairpin composed of a dozen pure white, translucent small pearls surrounding a large Dongzhu pearl!
And it wasn’t just one piece, but two identical pieces, placed on both sides of the pigtails with no noticeable color difference, nor were the sizes of the pearls visibly different.
Everyone seeing this little girl imdiately knew her identity and secretly marveled at how wealthy the Ji Family truly was, to gift such a piece of Dongzhu to a child!
Such a generous family, it’s unlikely there’s a second one in the entire Capital City.
After being amazed by the Dongzhu hairpin on the little girl’s head, everyone’s curiosity was piqued by the veil on her face.
Just from her look when she rushed in earlier, she seed very lively, but who knows what her face looks like?
Why would she enter wearing a veil?
As everyone pondered this, they heard Princess Lianchun teasingly say, "Who did you call Aunt and Beautiful Aunt, respectively?"
"You are Aunt, and Pan’Er Aunt is Beautiful Aunt!"
The little girl spoke with a childish, soft, and sweet voice, laughing cheerfully without a care, yet her words were sharp!
"No way! Why do you call your Pan’Er Aunt Beautiful Aunt but not ?"
Xiaosuisui blinked her eyes, tilted her head in Princess Lianchun’s embrace to glance at Xie Pan’Er, who was speaking with Madam Xie, her eyes curved, and she giggled.
"Beautiful Aunt is truly beautiful!"
Princess Lianchun: "..."
Everyone who heard this couldn’t help but take a sharp breath; the Royal Princess, incomparable to a common girl, yet this child from the Ji Family dares to speak so plainly!
Soone thought, this is indeed a good opportunity!
"Just a common girl, where is the beauty?
Princess Lianchun, a true princess of royal blood, to say she’s not as good as a common girl!
This is clearly a serious cri of disrespect towards the Royal Family!"
These words were spoken amidst a group of young ladies, and almost as the words fell, everyone couldn’t help but look towards the person who spoke them!
