"I don't deserve to be the princess, are you worthy?"

As soon as the clear and pleasant voice sounded, the originally chirping and laughing scene suddenly became quiet.

The girls turned their heads stubbornly and saw the goose yellow skirt, and the smile on their faces became even more stiff.

Especially the Tao Siniang, who said that Tao Ti was only worthy of the prince’s shoes, was so scared that she was blue with a little white face. She was neither sitting nor standing, and she looked at her at a loss.

The person behind her was also caught by the official, and Tao Ti was embarrassed for her.

After calming down a little, Tao Ti strode forward with a kind smile on her face, "I didn't expect that the sisters are so happy. It's also true that this good day of spring is the best for chatting."

Tao Siniang smiled embarrassedly, "Wu Niang, aren't you talking to the eldest uncle? Why did you come out so soon?"

Tao Ti narrowed her bright eyes slightly and said in a coquettish voice, "Maybe because she sensed the sisters' concern for me, she suddenly wanted to come out for a walk."

She deliberately took the word "bearing" very seriously, and everyone present felt a little worried.

Tao Siniang was no exception. The smile on the corner of her lips froze, but she was strange in her heart. Tao Ti has always been a soft persimmon that can be controlled by others. Even the concubines in the big house don’t look down on her soft and cowardly temperament in private! Why should she be afraid of her?

Thinking of this, Tao Siniang stood up, took out her past roles, and sang, "Five Niang, the sisters' words just now are just talking and playing. Don't get me wrong, so as not to hurt our sisters' kindness."

"Harmony?" Tao Ti smiled softly, but her tone was unconcealed sarcasm, "Si Niang, you always know the general in this way, in the past, and in the present."

"You, what do you mean?!"

"It means that you can't do anything, you can turn the blame first." Tao Ti said lightly, "It's obvious that you are gossiping behind your back and I'm hitting you. Now I'm going to make a comeback and tell me not to hurt the harmony."

There are many troubles in the deep courtyard. The original owner has the title of a legitimate daughter of a big house, but his personality is soft and can be bullied. He has suffered a lot of losses in the hands of these sisters before. Especially this cousin Tao Siniang, who has countless stutters to the original owner openly and secretly.

The original owner was in a silence and did not break up with them, but Tao Ti was not angry - it was our first time to be a human being, why should I let you step on my face?

Seeing that the atmosphere became tense, someone immediately came out to smooth things over.

"Okay, Si Niang said the wrong thing, but today is Wu Niang, you are going back to your parents' home for the first time. This is a great day, don't mess up your interest just by saying a few words."

"That's right, it's all my sisters who are joking. Wu Niang, if you are serious, you will be bored."

He said it was a smooth move, but he still asked Tao Ti to take a step back inside and outside.

Tao Si Niang immediately beat the snake and followed the stick, held the handkerchief and pressed the corner of her eyes, wiped the tears that did not exist at all, and said aggrievedly, "Fifth Niang, you are now a princess, and you are now majestic. As soon as you come back, you are pretending to your sisters. Now you are just saying a few small words, are you so petty..."

As soon as she pretended to cry, someone next to her came forward to comfort her.

For a moment, it was like Tao Ti bullying others with power.

Facing those complaining gazes, Tao Ti couldn't help but applaud Tao Siniang. It's amazing, what a great move is to retreat!

Since they all felt that she was bullying others with power, she could just confirm her character.

If she has the power, why doesn’t she resist?

Tao Ti stood up straight, her red lips slightly raised. If she didn't speak, she looked dignified and gentle. But as soon as she opened her mouth, her aura changed. "I am the Ming matchmaker of the Tian family who is marrying the Crown Princess who was hired into the Eastern Palace. Your Majesty and the Queen did not say whether I am worthy. When is it your turn to say it? Or do you think your vision is better than Your Majesty?"

Tao Siniang was just a woman in the boudoir. She was just a little girl in the inner house. When she saw Tao Ti move out of the emperor and empress, her face immediately changed, and her eyes flashed, "I, I don't mean that..."

Taoti refused to give in, "What do you mean?"

Tao Siniang panicked and stammered and couldn't speak.

"You can eat food, but you can't talk nonsense." Taoti approached her, tilted her little head, and looked at her with a smile, "Do you still think I am the Taoti who can bully you at will?"

Not to mention Tao Siniang, even the other girls subconsciously shrank their necks, feeling a chill behind them.

Tao Siniang laughed even worse than crying, her voice seemed to be a duck with her neck pinched, "Fifth Niang, oh no, Princess, I was wrong. I was unrestrained. I also asked you to have a lot of them, don't worry about it..."

"This apology is okay."

Tao Tiluo raised her eyebrows and suddenly raised her hand to pat Tao Siniang's face, but her eyes calmly swept over everyone present, "I know what you are thinking in your heart. If you want to think about it, I don't care about your thoughts after all. But before you speak, it's better to consider your identity and see if you are qualified to say it."

Her fingers were a little cold, and when she slapped her face, Tao Siniang felt the chill spread from her cheeks all over her body, making her whole body stiff and she dared not move.

Tao Ti withdrew her hand and stepped aside. While slowly playing with the jade bracelet on her wrist, she smiled, "If you are like you are so quarrel like today, let me know. If there is one, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Seeing the fearless indifference between her eyebrows and eyes, everyone's hearts trembled and all lowered their eyes.

Tao Ti brushed her dress with satisfaction, and planned to run after pretending to be a pussy. She never thought that as soon as she turned around, she saw a slender moon-white figure slowly walking out from the rockery.

Tao Ti was stunned, "!!!"

Why is Pei Yan’s little angel here? When did he come? So he saw the whole process of pretending to behave just now?

In a trance, she seemed to hear something...

Oh, it was her well-behaved and gentle personality that collapsed.

Tao Ti tried hard to manage her expression, her slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and she smiled, "Dian, Your Highness, what a coincidence..."

Pei Yan walked to her step by step, nodding slightly like a breeze and moon, "Yes."

Tao Ti was a little afraid to look at him for a moment, and her little head was messy, thinking about how to explain to him.

The scene of the fox pretending to be a tiger and bullying others with power was really not her intention!

Suddenly, one hand was placed on her shoulder, and before she could react, she leaned gently into a clear and pleasant embrace.

Then Pei Yan's calm and steady voice sounded from her head, "What the Crown Princess said, I feel very right."

Taoti, “…!”

The girls in the four rooms were all stunned.

Pei Yan continued, "As the daughters of the Marquis's family, you should be well-educated, open-minded and gentle. How can you learn to be a woman with tongues? Besides, the Crown Princess married into the Eastern Palace and was a member of the royal family. She was a member of the royal family. What should you blame? If you are not clear, I can let the brave man tell you carefully."

As soon as these words came out, the girls' faces changed suddenly. They lowered their heads in shame and responded softly, "Your Highness is saying, please forgive me."

If Tao Tifen was a little guilty at the beginning, she was a little guilty when she was pretending to be a tiger, and now the real tiger came forward to support her, she would be very happy!

Pei Yan lowered his eyes slightly and glanced at her smile, which made him feel funny inexplicably.

"Let's go?" he said.

"Yeah." Taoti became well-behaved in one second.

Pei Yan hugged her shoulders and left the back garden intimately.

After they walked away, the girls raised their heads. The pretty and tender little faces were red and white, some unwilling, some depression, some resentment, but more of them were ashamed of shame!

They were actually compared by the prince to a tongue-in-law! If this was spread, there would be no face to see anyone!

I don’t know who started the first one, and you said it all, and finally everyone pointed the conversation at Tao Siniang, “You are all talking about whether you are worthy or not. This annoyed the princess, offended the prince, and even embarrassed us with you!”

"Yes, it's all your fault. Why do you tell her well? If the prince really goes to talk to the uncle, we will be miserable..."

Facing everyone's accusations, Tao Siniang was really crying in her eyes. She glared back angrily, "Didn't you just say bad things about her? Now what are the faces to accuse me!"

But she could not resist so many mouths alone, and in the end she had to run away in shame amid complaints.

The figure looked very similar to Tao Ti's appearance when she was ridiculed and made fun of by everyone.

****

On the other end, after walking a distance, Pei Yan let go of Taoti's shoulders.

Thinking of his just now standing up for her, Tao Ti raised her little head, bent her eyebrows and eyes, raised her lips, and looked at him with dark and bright eyes gratefully, "Your Highness, thank you for helping me just now."

Pei Yan smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite. I once said that I would protect you outside."

In the afternoon sun, mottled light and shadow sprinkled on his fair and handsome face. This beautiful scene like a pictorial made Tao Ti's heart beat a little faster.

He can kill people with his face, but he is still so gentle. Who can withstand this?

She quickly turned her eyes away, cut off the messy thoughts in her mind, looked at the stone road in front of her without squinting, and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, aren't you in the front hall? How could you come here?"

"We talked almost in the front hall, and when it was almost lunch time, we thought to come and find you. In fact, in the front of the veranda, Gu saw you, but you seemed to be thinking about something, so you didn't see Gu, so Gu came to the back garden with you."

Tao Ti was stunned, so they only had the skills to do it.

"Then you heard what I said to them?"

"Yeah, it's almost the same."

“…”

Oh, the character is broken.

Tao Ti was like a deflated ball, drooping her little head, stopped and tried to explain, "Actually, I am not so fierce, nor are I quarrel so much... I really don't like to cause trouble at all. Today, this is a special situation..."

Pei Yan also stopped and looked at her furry little head, and inexplicably felt the urge to reach out and rub it.

He put his hand behind his back, pursed his lips, and said softly, "I know they were the ones who spoke rudely today, you are not wrong."

Upon hearing this, Tao Ti looked up at him, her eyes as bright as black grapes, and asked tentatively, "Your Highness, do you really think so?"

Seeing her a little silly look, Pei Yan chuckled, "Yes."

His affirmative answer made Tao Ti's concerns disappear suddenly. She bent her smile, sweet and sincere, "I knew that you are the one who distinguishes right from wrong with your superiors."

Pei Yan raised his eyebrows as he listened to her straightforward praise. In a moment, he glanced at the bright sun and said softly, "We should go to the dining room, probably our father-in-law and mother-in-law are waiting."

"Okay, I'm hungry after all the morning."

Tao Ti nodded and followed him to the dining room.
