After Escaping from the Marriage, the Crown Prince Started Pampering Me

Chapter 40: Call me “Mom”

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was the Flower Appreciation Banquet in May.

Great Xiao was located in the middle of the five kingdoms. There was the Southern Kingdom in the south, the Northern Mang in the north, the Great Zhou in the west, and the Golden Jade in the east. However, among the five kingdoms, only Great Xiao’s water and soil were the lushest.

It can grow not only rice and corn, but also apples, oranges, pears, and other fruits.

In the modern era, it was at the middle latitude and was the most livable.

Therefore, Great Xiao was already flourishing in May.

The girls in spring were also dressed very lightly, especially the undulating hills on their chests. It was really a pleasing sight.

Sorry, my thoughts went astray.

Ye Qingge sat alone in the carriage and lifted the curtain to look at the scenery on the street. Her mind was very scattered.

This morning, she was woken up by Tan Chun early in the morning. After freshening up, she was thrown into the carriage.

Today was a one-day trip to the Left Influential Courtier’s residence. As Madam Bai was grounded, her grandmother, Matriarch Ye, was leading the team.

Ye Suyun and Ye Qingyue naturally followed Matriarch Ye. The three of them rode in a carriage.

Since her grandmother’s heartache and headache had yet to recover, she gave her a carriage.

It was very spacious.

The speed of the carriage was not very fast. It took about two hours to arrive at the Left Influential Courtier’s residence.

Ye Qingge had already fallen asleep in the carriage.

Stretching lazily, she jumped off the carriage. Matriarch Ye, Ye Suyun, and Ye Qingyue had already gotten off the carriage.

There was a fragrance of a woman, and she was walking leisurely. Her eyebrows were like moths, and her eyes were bright and clear. Was this Ye Suyun?

As someone who had seen many beautiful female celebrities in the 23rd century, Ye Qingge couldn’t help but praise Ye Suyun’s bearing. She was indeed worthy of the title of one of the four noble ladies of the Great Xiao.

The aura around her was even more graceful and magnanimous.

However, a woman with such bearing was suitable to be an empress. However, if she wanted to protect the heart of an emperor, she would probably have to be a coquettish woman from the six palaces.

Although Ye Qingyue was also a rare beauty, her bearing was slightly inferior to Ye Suyun’s. Moreover, she could not hide the proud expression between her brows. Most men would not be able to stand it.

However, this had nothing to do with her. She did not want to be entangled with them.

The young maidservant who welcomed the guests at the Left Influential Courtier’s residence welcomed Matriarch Ye and the three sisters.

Along the way, Ye Suyun did not say a word to Ye Qingge. There was no disgust or liking in her attitude.

It was as if she was just a passerby.

Oh my, this legitimate daughter of General Zhengxi’s Estate had been looked up to by everyone since she was young. Was the talented and beautiful Eldest Miss looking down on her?

However, it made sense. Compared to her, the original protagonist was like an A-list celebrity and a 38th-tier TikTok celebrity.

The other party naturally did not need to take her seriously.

On the other hand, Ye Qingyue’s emotions were more exposed. Outside the residence, she glared at Ye Qingge with disdain.

Then, when no one was paying attention, she raised his chin slightly and ordered Ye Qingge arrogantly, “I’m afraid many people will want to see you make a fool of yourself today. Wake up and don’t let me embarrass myself.”

Then, she flicked her sleeves and left arrogantly.

Ye Qingge clicked her tongue and suddenly felt that this proud little princess was rather cute.

So the reason why she had invited her to the Flower Appreciation Feast was to watch her make a fool of herself?

Hence, she had long said that ancient people were really free.

Matriarch Ye led the three of them to greet Matriarch Wang of the Left Influential Courtier’s residence. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she let the little girls play by themselves.

Actually, she didn’t really let them play. She just wanted them to make friends.

This was actually the same trick as the modern upper-class gatherings. Everyone handed each other their business cards and flattered each other.

However, the social circles of ancient people were even more distinct.

In the modern world, when a small boss met a big shot in the business world, in order to show that he was low-key and compatible, the big shot would give the small boss a chance to flatter him. However, in ancient times, he did not even give him a chance.

The two legitimate daughters, Ye Suyun and Ye Qingge were directly led to the courtyard in the east, where the legitimate daughters of the various prefectures were.

On the other hand, Ye Qingge was led to the west courtyard, where the concubine’s daughters from the various prefectures were seated in groups of three to five.

The original host was a crybaby and timid, so she would never be assigned the job of socializing outside.

Moreover, Madam Bai did not want her to make any close friends with assistants, so she had not recommended anyone to her.

As a result, Ye Qingge didn’t recognize any of the girls in the courtyard.

However, it did not matter if she knew this person or not. It was just that she had to get to know the pastries on the table.

Hence, Ye Qingge went straight to a round table filled with pastries. Just as she was about to take a seat on the stool, a woman beat her to it.

The woman was dressed in a pink dress. She sat on a stool and looked at Ye Qingge provocatively. From the looks of it, she had just reached adulthood and was about the same age as Ye Qingge.

Was she trying to stir up trouble?

Just as Ye Qingge thought of this, she saw the woman smile arrogantly.

“I’m sorry, Miss Ye. I’ll take this seat first.” Although the woman said that she was sorry, there was no trace of apology on her face.

The woman raised her eyebrows as if she had suddenly thought of something. She raised her voice and said, “No, Miss Ye has already married someone and divorced. I’m afraid you can’t call her Miss anymore. It doesn’t seem appropriate to call her Madam. Then what should I call her?”

“Why don’t you remove the word ‘aunt’ and call me Mother?”

Ye Qingge looked at the woman in front of her with a smile, looking indifferent.

In any case, she already had a cheap father and a cheap grandmother. How could she lack such a cheap daughter?

Puff!

Someone couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Then, one infected two, and two infected three. Their laughter was like gray nails.

“You, how dare you scold me!”

The woman did not expect Ye Qingge to reply to her in such a way. Coupled with the laughter around her, her face flushed red with anger. She stood up and looked at Ye Qingge with her eyebrows raised.

“I didn’t scold anyone. I’ve never liked scolding people.” Ye Qingge said with a serious expression. Then, in the next moment, she said, “I’ve never scolded anyone.”

“How dare you scold me, you b*tch!”

As the woman spoke, she raised her hand and sent a slap toward Ye Qingge. However, Ye Qingge dodged too quickly and did not manage to hit her.

Seeing that she had dodged her slap, the woman stomped her feet in anger and ordered, “Yin Huan, Yu Huan, you’re dead. Come over and hold her back.”

Hence, two more women walked out from the crowd and stood on either side of Ye Qingge.

Another gang fight?

Ye Qingge acknowledged that the two of them were holding hands and didn’t say anything. She still had a smile on her face, looking very cute and provocative.

Seeing that Ye Qingge was under control, the woman who had hit her swung her arm this time and used almost all her strength to slap Ye Qingge’s face.

Pa!

The sound of the slap resounded in the courtyard, scaring the timid young lady so much that she closed her eyes.

She couldn’t help but feel sorry for Miss Ye who was being beaten up. If she was the one being beaten up, she probably wouldn’t be able to go out for the rest of her life.

However, there was no lack of onlookers. It did not matter who fought as long as there was a scene to witness.
