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

"Since the princess is here, and we're all here, we should pay our respects. Otherwise, people will say we don't know any manners," Jiang Shuyi said with a light laugh.

The people around her looked at each other in bewilderment.

What's wrong with that?

The princess has already arranged for people to stop them here.

Isn't it just to prevent people from going over and disturbing us?

They can simply avoid it.

This place is so big, you can enjoy flowers anywhere, why do you have to come all the way to the princess?

Is Jiang Shuyi deliberately causing trouble because she has an old grudge against Princess Chen'an?

The problem is, Jiang Shuyi has only suffered losses in front of the princess several times, so why is she still eager to go there now?

The group exchanged glances and shared a common thought.

Is this what the granddaughter raised by the Duke of Wei is like?

Can the King of Wu really succeed?

When I get back, I need to talk to my family. If all else fails, I'll have to cut my losses and move on.

It's better than losing everything.

The maid came out and curtsied to Jiang Shuyi and the others: "Ladies and young ladies, please."

Jiang Shuyi walked in with her head held high and her chest puffed out.

Her posture didn't seem like she was paying homage to a princess; rather, it looked like she was going to show off her victory.

"Your subject greets the Princess." Jiang Shuyi and the others bowed respectfully.

Qi Zhiyu, seated in her chair, waved her hand slightly: "No need for formalities."

Jiang Shuyi and the others stood up and then looked up.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Shuyi was shocked: "Princess, what's wrong with you...?"

Who are the people around Qi Zhiyu?

Those women were all incredibly alluring; they clearly didn't come from respectable places.

There were also several men nearby, all of whom were smiling ingratiatingly.

Although they didn't do anything outrageous, these people were particularly annoying here.

Qi Zhiyu asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"Princess, you are still young. Don't go to places you shouldn't go," Jiang Shuyi earnestly advised.

In reality, she was overjoyed.

Qi Zhiyu is indeed too arrogant.

So arrogant that they disregarded worldly customs and etiquette.

Does no one in Prince Rui's mansion care about her?

Qi Zhiyu was even more confused: "What? Do I need to report to you where I'm going?"

"Your Highness is too kind. What I mean is... that some places of pleasure are not places Your Highness should go," Jiang Shuyi advised.

"The princess is about to come of age and will need to be betrothed. If people find out about her situation... it might hinder her marriage."

While Jiang Shuyi offered words of advice, she had already made up her mind.

When she gets back, she'll spread the word about it.

Let everyone in the capital know that Qi Zhiyu, at such a young age, is frequenting such brothels.

Moreover, both men and women get involved.

Any spoiled brat who frequents such places will find it difficult to find a good marriage.

If men are like this, one can only imagine how Qi Zhiyu, a young woman, is treated.

This time, Qi Zhiyu's reputation is going to be ruined!

Qi Zhiyu looked at Jiang Shuyi strangely: "Arranging a marriage?"

Qi Zhiyu chuckled: "Does this princess need a marriage proposal?"

"What kind of person can't this princess have?"

Jiang Shuyi was stunned.

"In-laws?" Qi Zhiyu found this idea utterly ridiculous. "Who would dare to be this princess's in-laws?"

"Whoever this princess takes a fancy to, that's someone who's incredibly lucky."

"Who dares to act like a parent to me, the princess?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuyi's expression changed drastically: "Princess, this is against the rules."

"You can't just take advantage of your status as a princess..."

"Haha!" Qi Zhiyu's sneer interrupted Jiang Shuyi's words. "The princess's identity?"

"This princess has never relied on this status."

Jiang Shuyi replied coldly, "This humble woman understands."

"His Majesty favors the princess, but that is not a reason for the princess to be arrogant."

"My capital has always been myself," Qi Zhiyu sneered disdainfully.

"Jiang Shuyi, you've relied on your grandfather's status and your future husband's reputation since you were little, haven't you?"

Qi Zhiyu's words caused Jiang Shuyi's expression to change drastically.

She felt deeply humiliated!

What does Qi Zhiyu mean by this?

In Qi Zhiyu's eyes, was she really that worthless?

"Princess, I am also a model of virtue and gentleness. In the capital, who doesn't praise me?" Jiang Shuyi has always been proud of her good reputation.

Qi Zhiyu has no right to belittle her like that.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and said, "Being virtuous and gentle means being obedient at your parents' home, and you'll be easy to manipulate when you marry into your husband's family."

"Your so-called good reputation is nothing more than providing value to others."

"At home, I can make my family worry-free. At my husband's family home, I can be filial to my parents-in-law, serve my husband, and have children."

Qi Zhiyu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Besides being useful to others, what value do you have yourself?"

Jiang Shuyi's face turned pale with anger: "Princess, what do you mean by this?"

"That's how women should be."

"Princess, are you looking down on all women in the world?"

The people around Jiang Shuyi didn't look too good either. Was she really that bad in Princess Chen'an's eyes?

Qi Zhiyu scoffed dismissively, "I don't look down on anyone."

"It is a woman's personal choice to be obedient and sensible at home, and to marry and raise children. There is nothing wrong with that."

"The mistake was that you tried to apply this approach to me."

"Who gave you the confidence to think I should follow the same path?"

"If you don't take this path, you're doing something wrong; you're committing a heinous crime."

"What you do is none of my business. And what I do is none of your concern."

The lady and young lady beside Jiang Shuyi were stunned. Yes, what does the princess have to do with Jiang Shuyi?

Why did she have to criticize the princess like that?

Although the princess's actions are unusual, she is still a princess.

Do we need these ministers to judge whether the princess did the right thing or not?

Jiang Shuyi blushed when asked the question.

She retorted defiantly, "Princess, you say I rely on my maternal and marital families. But what about you, Princess? Don't you rely on His Majesty's favor and Prince Rui's power?"

She relies on her family, so what is there for Qi Zhiyu to be proud of?

It's just that Qi Zhiyu has a bigger backer.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and said, "My abilities are evident to all."

"With my abilities, I have the right to live the life I want."

"I can do whatever I want. Even after I come of age and get married, I can build my own house or go to my husband's family home."

"And not a single person will say no."

"Princess, it's best for a woman to be gentle and virtuous," Jiang Shuyi said dryly. "Otherwise, it will be very difficult for her to get married."

Qi Zhiyu laughed so hard her shoulders shook: "Jiang Shuyi, do you think getting married is a woman's most dignified honor?"

"That's what you think, don't try to apply it to me."

"Besides, believe it or not, if I just spread the word that I want to get married, my doorstep will be worn down by suitors."
