Xiao Chen’s hand, which was holding the medicine, stopped for a moment. He glanced at Jing Yue from the side of his eyes and said, “I remember, back then when you helped me to apply this medicine on me, you seemed to really dislike this medicine?”

“Eh? Did I? Hehehehe (chuckle)…… I absolutely didn’t, you must have remembered wrong!” Jing Yue gave out a few awkward laughs before she waved her hand and spoke. Her eyes were avoiding Xiao Chen’s, they were filled with guilty conscience. Xiao Chen took the gauze and wrapped Jing Yue’s hand properly without saying anything else.

Jing Yue sat on the carriage until they had finally arrived at what they were told was the eldest princess’ residence. Yin Qiao helped Jing Yue to get down from the carriage. However, once they stepped into the eldest princess’ beautifully decorated residence, the stewards told them that the Eldest Princess had gone to the manor at the mountain behind the residence. Jing Yue had no other choice but to reluctantly let the coachman turn around to go to the mountain.

It was said that the eldest princess had a pa.s.sion for riding and archery. Somewhere far behind the Eldest Princess’ residence, there was a high mountain that serves as a hunting ground. At the side of this hunting ground was actually a matchless and exquisite garden. The tea party was held at this garden.

When Jing Yue finally arrived, the manor was already bustling with unceasing noises, cheers and laughters coming from within. Hearing the announcement of Jing Yue’s arrival, everyone stopped talking. They stared at Jing Yue, who walked leisurely proceeding inside from the manor’s gate, with eyes that were filled with curiosity.

What Jing Yue did in the palace had spread within this circle of n.o.bilities. Today, they were finally able to see Jing Yue’s face. Naturally, sizing her up was unavoidable.

Jing Yue’s whole body had become rigid from the moment she stepped into this manor. Numerous eyes were watching her as she walked to face the person who was said to be the Eldest Princess.

The woman wearing a magnificent dress was sitting high above. She seemed to be in her twenties but in fact she almost reached her forties. Because of her delicate make up, you couldn’t actually tell that she was already quite old. Sitting beside the Eldest Princess was her daughter, Princess ZiLing.

“Respect to Her Highness the Eldest Princess.” Jing Yue bent her knees and bowed to make her salutation. People could see that she wasn’t someone that often saluted others from her shaky posture, however, her posture could be considered correct.
