The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.

Qi Zhiyu asked with amusement, "Me? Can they even get me to participate?"

Who has the audacity to invite her?

Her grandfather's favor towards her was undeniable, so those who were ignorant of their own limitations, or those who could only side with the King of Wu and had no choice but to oppose her, were the ones who opposed her.

Otherwise, who would dare to provoke her?

"But, Princess, they said..." the maid complained indignantly.

Those people's words were awful.

They went to perform rituals to pray for the soldiers on the frontier, but they didn't bring their princess with them.

What does this mean?

Is the princess being isolated?

Qi Zhiyu chuckled, "They said?"

"What do you care what a bunch of ants say?"

The maid was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up instantly.

She must be a princess.

It's just extraordinary.

Those women are so annoying; if they don't like someone, they'll collectively isolate that person.

An isolated lady or young lady would become a laughing stock in the capital, forced to either passively lower herself to curry favor or remain secluded at home.

Every time, those women would succeed, but their princess would not tolerate their bad habits!

"Yes! Let them say what they want! The princess would never stoop to participate in that kind of religious ceremony!" The maid puffed out her chest and put her hands on her hips smugly.

Qi Zhiyu smiled and said, "No, I want to participate."

"Huh?" The maid was bewildered. "But Miss, they didn't invite you!"

"Just because they didn't invite me, does that mean I can't go?" Qi Zhiyu scoffed.

The maidservant hesitated, "But Princess, if you go yourself, wouldn't that be giving them too much face?"

She was more worried that those people would gossip about the princess behind her back.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and said, "I do have to give them some face, after all... they are all big spenders."

"Huh?" The maid was completely stunned.

What does the princess mean by this?

Looking at the princess's inscrutable smile, the maidservant suddenly shivered, as if... someone was about to be in trouble.

It must be said that the women in the capital made quite a show of holding this religious ceremony.

They not only united the female relatives of the general's family, but also contacted the families of ordinary soldiers.

We'll go to the temple together to pray for blessings then.

This matter caused quite a stir; even though Prince Rui and his men were extremely busy, they all found out about it.

When Qi Jingchen heard the news, he returned just in time to see Qi Jingxi rushing out.

He grabbed Qi Jingxi.

Qi Jingxi's neck was suddenly gripped by the collar of his clothes. He had been walking too fast, and in that instant, he seemed to see his great-grandmother: "Brother, what are you doing?"

Qi Jingxi stepped back, finally relieving the suffocating feeling: "Are you trying to strangle me?"

"Don't be impulsive," Qi Jingchen said, frowning.

Qi Jingxi didn't understand: "Why would I be impulsive?"

"You dare say you went out not because of Yu'er?" Qi Jingchen rolled his eyes at Qi Jingxi.

Why are you pretending with him here?

They are brothers!

He was also very angry when he heard what was happening outside.

What right do those people have to isolate his sister?

Although he knew Yu'er wouldn't care, that wasn't a reason for them to band together and isolate his sister!

"It's because of Yu'er, I am..." Qi Jingxi was interrupted by Qi Jingchen before she could finish her sentence. "Don't be impulsive now, especially since those are women."

"You shouldn't act rashly. If you want to deal with them, let's discuss it."

"I'm angry that they're isolating my sister, but I can't let them find a reason to do something about it."

"Wait a minute..." Qi Jingxi finally understood. "Brother, you don't think I'm going to beat someone up, do you?"

Qi Jingchen didn't speak, but the look in his eyes as he looked at Qi Jingxi said it all.

That's what he thinks.

Qi Jingxi looked up at the sky speechlessly. What kind of image did he have in his brother's heart?

"Isn't that right?" Qi Jingchen asked, surprised. "Then why were you in such a hurry to do it?"

"I'm going to take care of something," Qi Jingxi said smugly. "My sister asked me to."

"Huh?" Qi Jingchen asked, puzzled. "What?"

Qi Jingxi shook the envelope in her hand: "How can a prayer for blessings be complete without talismans?"

"Our sister got another one. Wouldn't it be perfect to sell it to them later?"

"They are sincere; they want to pray for the soldiers, so of course they'll buy it."

"They bought them for their own families. The families of ordinary soldiers don't have that much money. Aren't the women's families given to them?"

"Could it be that they don't consider ordinary soldiers human beings?"

Qi Jingchen remained silent for a while, then patted Qi Jingxi on the shoulder: "Go on, don't delay making money."

"If you hadn't stopped me, I would have left long ago," Qi Jingxi complained, and quickly walked away.

Qi Jingchen took a deep breath and laughed to himself; he was truly dumbfounded.

How could his sister be the kind of person who gets bullied?

My sister is just too amazing; it makes me feel like the others are a bit useless.

Qi Jingchen thought about it and decided to ask his sister what she was going to do.

If they can lend a hand, they can save Yu'er some energy.

When Qi Jingchen came out after asking his questions, his steps were a little unsteady.

"What's wrong?" Prince Rui happened to see him in the courtyard and asked curiously.

His eldest son, usually so composed, looked so deeply affected...

"Did you get upset by Yu'er again?" Although Prince Rui asked the question, he was extremely certain of the answer.

Qi Jingchen sighed: "I'll just go back and rest for a while."

Prince Rui smiled; he rarely saw his eldest son get the short end of the stick.

This kid has always been calm and composed, like a little adult since he was a child.

Although the eldest brother wasn't as loud and boisterous as the second brother, he knew that the eldest brother was quite arrogant.

Now, seeing the eldest brother being repeatedly challenged in front of Yu'er is quite nice.

This will let the boss know that there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.

"Go ahead." Prince Rui chuckled. He watched Qi Jingchen leave before turning to look in the direction of his daughter's courtyard.

Then, he sighed with heartache and went back to his own courtyard.

The wealthy ladies and heiresses in Beijing held religious ceremonies to pray for blessings, but it was Jiang Shuyi who spearheaded the event.

Some of the female relatives, whose own families did not go to the border, still participated.

After all, this is an opportunity to make a name for oneself; who would want to miss it?

Everyone is praying for the soldiers on the frontier, how could they not participate?

If I don't participate, I don't know what people will say about me.

Since Jiang Shuyi was in charge, Tang Jingrou was naturally included as well.

Although she is no longer the wife of the Marquis of Weiyuan, she is Wei Yifeng's biological mother and Jiang Shuyi's mother-in-law, so no one says anything about it.

Tang Jingrou rediscovered the feeling of being pampered and adored that she once had.

This person is prone to becoming arrogant when he gets ahead.

So when Qi Zhiyu learned that Tang Jingrou had come to her door, she was shocked: "Is she really not mentally ill?"

The maidservant reported, "She said it was about a religious ceremony."

This matter concerns the soldiers on the border, so they couldn't directly refuse.

Qi Zhiyu nodded: "Let her in."

Her father was short of money because he wanted to compete with the King of Wu.

When someone comes knocking on your door, it's not easy for her to refuse, is it?
