FreeNovelChapter 1389: Petty!
“Crown Prince Consort, how can you say it like that.” On the side, Xu’er couldn’t help but get agitated. “Our Commandery Princess only wants to contribute a humble effort by coming to help you.”
This crown prince consort’s words were too rude. How could she ridicule her master like that.
It had to be known that their master was rich in the past too. If it wasn’t for the fact that she had purchased a prolongation pill for an astronomical price that day at the House of Treasures, then her days as of late wouldn’t have been so miserable.
With the commandery princess’s current circumstances, she of course couldn’t take out mystic currency to buy grain for the distribution. That’s why her best plan of action was to accompany the crown prince consort to make a favorable impression among the common people.
Doubtlessly, at that time, those commoners would certainly like the gentle and thoughtful commandery princess better and not that stoic-faced crown prince consort.

Are you not embarrassed as an august commandery princess.” Qiao Mu’s blunt words simply made Commandery Princess Yi’an stagger backwards in rage.
“Wh-What do you mean by me gleaning grain? Crown Prince Consort, make yourself clear!”
How could there be such an unreasonable person in this world that could make others hopping mad with just three sentences.
“Is that not the case?” The young crown prince consort swept her an indifferent glance. “The harem issues stipends every month, and you are no exception either. Even with this, you are still snatching work from the junior royal maids and eunuchs. You are simply petty!”
“Wha, What??”
“Commandery Princess!” Xu’er was also so furious that her belly was about to explode. She supported Commandery Princess Yi’an while glaring at Qiao Mu and exclaiming, “Crown Prince Consort, please use discretion in your speech! How is our commandery princess gleaning your grain? Just say it openly that you’re afraid that she will steal your thunder if she goes with you! Why find all these weird excuses.”
The young crown prince consort swept the master and servant pair a glance before scolding “crazy” underneath her breath. Then, she trotted alongside the palace wall and left without turning her head back.
Meanwhile, the sapling Qiuqiu that was sitting on her shoulder was simply splitting his sides in laughter.
He truly understood his little master too well!
This child was simply looking down upon Commandery Princess Yi’an from the bottom of her heart. The reason being no other than that Commandery Princess Yi’an was truly too petty.
It had to be known that the young crown prince consort had issued a small mission in the Eastern Palace. Tomorrow, she would reward 10 liters to anyone who was willing to accompany her and distribute rice on the streets for two hours. If a lot of people lined up for the rice and thus extended the time, she would give them an extra 10 liters every two hours.
When this small mission got issued, all the junior eunuchs and royal maids in the Eastern Palace were scrambling to secure this task.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven if this grain was of no use to them in the Eastern Palace, they could smuggle it out of the palace and give it to their families.
Besides, who would complain of having extra grain during these times.
Qiao Mu selected ten junior royal maids and ten junior eunuchs to help her. She only needed twenty people, no more than that.
After the list of names for the mission was issued, those eunuchs and royal maids who didn’t get picked were dejected.
With these circumstances, Commandery Princess Yi’an actually wanted to snatch one of the royal maids or eunuchs’ means of livelihood? Wasn’t it simply preposterous and shameless!
How would Yi’an know that the young crown prince consort was thinking this way. She had thought that the crown prince consort had perceived her feelings toward His Highness the Crown Prince, so that’s why she rejected her company.
Because she had clearly been informed after making inquiries that His Highness the Crown Prince would accompany the crown prince consort tomorrow during the rice distribution.
She only wanted to create more opportunities to approach his highness. Even this was denied to her?
As Commandery Princess Yi’an looked despondently at the crown prince consort’s back silhouette, her eyes flickered.
