Qiao Ran had to drive the carriage, deliver fish, and pick up the silk reeling cart today, so she wore a home-style shorts suit to make it easier to move.

But in front of the rich lady, who was dressed very gorgeously and was wearing a gorgeous fox fur cloak on this cool spring morning, Qiao Ran, who was dressed in gray and had her hair simply pulled up, really looked like an insignificant person. The humble servant girl is not as good as those maids and women behind the young lady.

However, even so, Qiao Ran's momentum was not weak at all.

She patted her hands stained with pastry crumbs and slowly stood up from her seat.

Qiao Ran, who was about to get haircut, stood in front of this young woman who looked about the same age as herself, and was half a head taller than her.

The woman's face was a little ugly. She found that she was half a head shorter when she was standing in front of this person. She had to raise her head to look at that person's eyes. The stern advantage she had when she entered the door was gone, which made her very unhappy. .

Qiao Ran didn't look at her anymore, but turned to look at the maid in yellow who had just been born, and said in a calm tone: "I'm sorry, I really don't know who your young lady is."

"You...you little maid with little knowledge, you are so rude! My young lady is the daughter of the eldest princess, Princess Ningyang!"

The maid in yellow was so angry that her nose became crooked.

There are still people who don’t know my own lady. How ignorant!

Qiao Ran really didn't know much about these aristocratic ladies in the capital. Except for the ladies who went to the General's Mansion to attend the recognition banquet last time, how could she know the others?

However, I heard that this was a princess, and Qiao Ran knew that it was hard to offend someone like this who was related to the royal family, otherwise the general's palace would not be able to protect her.

So she softened her attitude a little and saluted the young woman:

"The daughter of the common people has met the princess. Back to the princess, the daughter of the common people is not a maid from any family, she is just a peasant girl who came to Dingbei Prince's Mansion to deliver fish."

Princess Ningyang felt embarrassed when she said she was just here to deliver fish.

It's really a shame for me, a noble princess, to argue with a peasant girl.

However, as arrogant as she is, she is not willing to just stand down.

She stared at Qiao Ran and looked him up and down and asked:

"Since you are here to deliver fish, why are you here alone? Where is Butler Zhou? Why did he bring you here? Do you know that this is the main hall for entertaining distinguished guests? How can you drink tea and eat here with your status? dessert?"

It's hard for Qiao Ran to explain this.

She can't say that she and Mo Shizi have a life-saving grace, so she can get special treatment from the palace, right?

With the princess's arrogant temperament, why should she be ridiculed?

Just as Qiao Ran was thinking about how to explain, Butler Zhou walked in.

When he saw the two people standing opposite each other in the hall, his heart skipped a beat. He thought Qiao Ran had bumped into Princess Ningyang, a young ancestor who was as troublesome as his master, so he hurried forward in a hurry.

"Oh, princess, what brought you here? Are you here to see the crown prince? He has just been summoned to the palace by the emperor. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while. Otherwise, you go back first and wait for the crown prince to come back. Can I tell him about your visit?"

Butler Zhou smiled carefully, hoping to coax the little ancestor back home and stop arguing with Miss Qiao.

Princess Ningyang looked very dissatisfied when she saw Butler Zhou.

"Steward Zhou, you are acting more and more inappropriately now. I know my cousin values ​​you, but you can't do things in such a haphazard manner just because you are an old man in the house. This main hall is where distinguished guests are entertained. How can you let a little peasant girl come in? Moreover, she secretly sat here drinking tea and eating snacks while you were away. Doesn't this break the rules of the palace? If outsiders see it, they must smile. My rule is not strict."

Princess Ningyang's tone sounded like that of the master of Dingbei Palace to Qiao Ran.

I guess this eldest lady has a good relationship with Mo Shizi, so she can treat herself as half the master of the house!

Butler Zhou heard what Princess Ningyang said and quickly explained:

"Princess, please calm down. This old slave did not make any arbitrary decisions. This is all what the master has told me. Miss Qiao is not an ordinary peasant girl. She is a cousin of the General's Mansion. She is an old acquaintance of the prince. She once helped him when he was injured." , so the prince confessed that Miss Qiao must be treated as a distinguished guest when she comes to the palace."

After listening to Butler Zhou's explanation, Princess Ningyang looked at Qiao Ran suddenly:

"Oh~! So you are the cousin that the General's Palace just found? I have heard of you before, but I didn't expect you to look like this. But, as the cousin of the General's Palace, why do you dress yourself up? You look like a peasant with muddy legs? I thought you were some rough maid who doesn't understand the rules."

Qiao Ran smiled faintly: "I am originally from a peasant family. Even though my grandfather's family is the general's mansion, I am still a peasant, so naturally I have to dress up as a peasant girl. Besides, I am here to deliver fish today, so it is more convenient to dress like this."

When Princess Ningyang heard that she was here to deliver fish, she couldn't help but swallowed when she thought of the rumors she had heard some time ago. She stared at Qiao Ran with bright eyes and asked:

"What kind of fish are you here to give? Is it blue water fish? How many are you giving? Are there any more? I want them too. Send some to the eldest princess's mansion!"

Qiao Ran was stunned, why did the style of painting change?

Didn't the princess look down on her just now? What does it mean to look full of expectation now?

Could it be that this is also a foodie?

Sure enough, I heard Butler Zhou reply: "Princess, Miss Qiao is indeed here to deliver the blue water fish. A few days ago, the prince went to the General's Mansion for a banquet and met Miss Qiao, so he ordered two barrels of blue water fish from her. Now, It has been sent to the kitchen and kept in a small pool. If the princess wants to eat it, she can discuss it with the prince."

Princess Ningyang was extremely happy when she heard that it was indeed a fish in clear water.

"Is it really the blue water fish? That's great! When my cousin comes back later, I'm going to ask him for a bucket! Huh, a few days ago, I heard the rich ladies from the aristocratic families at the banquet brag in front of me about how big the blue water fish is. It’s delicious, I must try it myself to see if it is really as fresh and delicious as they say!”

Butler Zhou smiled and said: "The princess will know after tasting it. The blue water fish is indeed different from other fish. It is really the most delicious among all the fish I have eaten."

When Princess Ningyang heard this, her face fell:

"Steward Zhou, have you ever eaten blue water fish? Humph, my cousin is so stingy! Even the servants in the house have fish to eat, but they don't give me any. I don't care, I have to have lunch at the house today. Zhan, please ask the kitchen to make a few plates of blue water fish for me to eat! After eating, I have to take a bucket back to eat slowly! "

Housekeeper Zhou knew this princess who had always been unruly and willful very well, and knew that if she could say it, she would definitely do it, so he could only say: "Okay, I will give instructions to the kitchen later. Now I will send Miss Qiao out of the house first. Princess, please wait here for a moment!"

With that said, Butler Zhou winked at Qiao Ran and wanted to take her out.

"stop!"

Princess Ningyang shouted loudly.
