Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

"I haven't tasted crabs this year. As soon as I saw the princess' invitation, my gluttony woke up." Ji Chuhe responded with a smile.

"That's perfect. I've asked someone to warm up some rice wine. Drinking a glass of it will just help relieve the coldness of the crabs, and you can also eat a few more." After Princess Ning Xi finished speaking, she looked at Yun'er behind Ji Chuhe.

"Madam, this is Yun'er, right?"

"Yes, Yun'er, come and meet Princess Ning Xi."

"Yun'er greets the princess. May the princess be blessed with good health." Yun'er immediately bowed.

"Good girl, I'll give you a gift since we're meeting for the first time." Princess Ning Xi took off the enamel gold necklace she was wearing from her neck, bent down and put it around Yun'er's neck.

Yun'er didn't dare to move and quickly looked up at Ji Chuhe.

Princess Ning Xi gave her such a valuable thing the first time they met. She had to see what her mother thought.

"Hurry up and thank the princess." Ji Chuhe accepted it generously.

"Thank you, Princess." Yun'er bowed quickly.

"What are you thanking me for? According to seniority, you should call me aunt. It's the first time we meet, so gifts must be prepared." After Princess Ning Xi said this, she pinched Yun'er's cheek affectionately.

Prince Lan was the uncle of the late emperor and Prince Huaiyang.

According to seniority, Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an have to call Princess Ning Xi aunt.

The last time, when he first met Princess Ning Xi at Prime Minister Qin's residence, Princess Ning Xi did not show this relationship and seemed a little distant.

Being so close all of a sudden this time may not be a good thing.

"Chuhe, I will call you this from now on. You won't mind, right?" Princess Ning Xi held Ji Chuhe's hand affectionately.

"Of course I don't mind. You can call me whatever you want, Princess."

"Let's take our seats first." Princess Ning Xi pulled Ji Chuhe towards the chief seat.

Yun'er followed her mother obediently.

As soon as the two of them sat down at the table, everyone at the table immediately stood up and saluted them.

"Greetings to the princess, the prince's wife."

"Everyone, please don't be so polite. Come and take your seats." Princess Ning Xi waved her hand, "Chu He, let me introduce you. This is my husband's sister, Ning'er."

"Greetings, Madam Crown Prince." Chu Ning'er immediately bowed to Ji Chuhe.

Ji Chuhe smiled and nodded in response.

"I would like to introduce you to someone solemnly." Princess Ning Xi cast her gaze towards the girl in red at the table.

This girl has a different makeup and appearance from everyone else here.

She was wearing a red dress made of ordinary cloth. She did not wear her hair in a bun like other women. She tied her hair up high, decorated only with a silver crown. Her pair of phoenix eyes showed her heroic spirit.

Just now, many people noticed Princess Ning Xi before she was introduced.

This girl is unfamiliar, but she is sitting in the chairman's seat, which shows that she is not a simple person.

Moreover, dressed like this, she seemed even more unique, and no one dared to approach her and talk to her.

"This is from Yongcheng, General Ji's daughter, named Ji Shuangshuang, and she is also my cousin. Because my aunt missed me very much, Shuangshuang followed my aunt's order and came to the imperial capital to accompany me for a while. Today, I will introduce her to you all so that you can take care of her in the future."

"So she is General Ji's daughter. No wonder she is so heroic."

"Yes, I heard that Miss Shuangshuang grew up in a military camp. She is different from the ladies from the imperial capital."

"Growing up in the army, Miss Shuangshuang is a heroine."

Compliments came one after another.

Ji Shuangshuang enjoyed listening to these words very much. She was different from those ordinary ladies.

She grew up on horseback, and what she couldn't stand the most were those delicate young ladies who would cry at the slightest injury.

"Shuangshuang, come and meet the Crown Prince's wife." Ning Xi introduced Ji Shuangshuang to him alone.

Ji Shuangshuang suddenly picked up the wine jug on the table, poured a glass of wine and handed it to Ji Chuhe, and she also poured a glass for herself.

"Madam, it's our first meeting. I'd like to toast you."

Ji Chuhe doesn't like drinking and will only have a sip under special circumstances. However, it's not that she can't drink. She picked up the wine glass and toasted Ji Shuangshuang.

"Madam, I'll drink first as a sign of respect." Ji Shuangshuang raised the glass and drank it in one gulp.

Ji Chuhe also drank the whole glass of wine.

The taste of rice wine was not very good. It was a bit choking and made his throat a little itchy. Ji Chuhe couldn't help but coughed.

Mianzhu immediately poured a cup of warm water and brought it over, "Madam, drink some warm water to moisten your throat."

"I'm so sorry, Madam Crown Prince, are you okay? I grew up in the military and have always been casual. I usually love drinking. If you can't drink, you should tell me, don't force yourself to drink."

Ji Chuhe choked. Mianzhu was already heartbroken, and hearing these words made her even more unhappy.

How can a girl from a good family toast others as soon as she comes up to them?

Moreover, when she saw someone was choking, she still spoke in this tone, as if the lady was deliberately learning her boldness.

"Miss Shuangshuang is so generous." Ji Chuhe responded with a smile.

"Chu He, Shuangshuang has been like this since she was young. My aunt often wrote to me, saying that Shuangshuang was difficult to discipline and was simply born in the wrong body. She should have been a boy." Princess Ning Xi looked at Ji Shuangshuang with a loving face.

"Cousin, I've heard rumors about the Crown Prince's wife in Yongcheng. I heard that she is very good at business, and I've always wanted to get to know her. Can I go to the Crown Prince's Mansion to visit his wife in the future?" Although Ji Shuangshuang said this to Princess Ning Xi, the question had to be answered by Ji Chuhe.

"The Crown Prince's wife is in charge of the royal business and is very busy. I don't know if she is free. You have to ask her." Sure enough, Princess Ning Xi threw the question to Ji Chuhe.

"Miss Shuangshuang is always welcome in the Prince's Mansion." Ji Chuhe did not refuse.

"Then I feel relieved." Ji Shuangshuang smiled brightly towards Ji Chuhe.

Ji Chuhe was completely different from what she had imagined.

She thought that no matter what kind of extraordinary woman Ji Chuhe was, she would be just the same dignified and virtuous person.

She came here with only one purpose.

That’s what my father meant too.

Her marriage.

She has reached the age of marriage, but her marriage is not up to her.

Now, she only has two choices.

One of them entered the palace to be the emperor's concubine, and the Ji family gambled everything to make her the queen.

The other one is Xiao Yanan.

Her father said that Xiao Wenxuan might not be able to sit firmly on the throne.

Maybe, the throne will eventually fall to Xiao Yan'an.

She was in no rush to make a decision.

Since the marriage is no longer entirely her decision, she has to choose between these two people.

"Princess, the crabs are ready, we can start the banquet." Someone came over to remind her.

"Okay, let's start the banquet!" Princess Ning Xi replied.

When eating crabs, there are servants to serve you, who will remove all the crab roe and crab meat and serve them to the masters.

Ji Chuhe sat quietly, secretly guessing the purpose of this crab feast.

Ji Shuangshuang's sudden visit to the imperial capital was definitely not just to visit Princess Ning Xi, she must have other purposes.

Ji Shuangshuang is now 28 years old and still unmarried. Could it be that he came to the imperial capital for Ji Shuangshuang’s marriage?
