The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 234 Conflict

Ji Yunzhong sat in the seat facing the door and let Jian Yue sit on his left.

Ji Yunyi pushed Lu Dieyi, and Lu Dieyi hurriedly took the seat on Ji Yunzhong's right.

The others took their seats one by one.

The servant brought over a stack of cards with various animals drawn on them.

Four people played cards. Guo Xiao sat opposite Ji Yunzhong. Ji Yunyi was one of them, and the other was Yue Zixuan, the second son of the Imperial College's chief academic officer.

The attendant dealt cards to the four people in turn. When the four people played their cards, Jian Yue also roughly saw the pattern. The way to play is that the big eats the small. For example, a tiger can eat a rabbit or a goat, a cow can kill an animal smaller than it, and so on.

What surprised Jian Yue the most was that they did not gamble with money. Instead, whoever lost would have a note written on his forehead saying "The loser is a bandit".

Looking at the notes on their faces, Jian Yue even wondered if there were other time travelers in Nanchang. After all, playing cards and sticking notes was a way of playing games for later generations.

After playing a few rounds, Ji Yunzhong keenly felt that Jian Yue seemed to be uninterested, so he threw the cards on the table and said listlessly: "I don't want to play anymore. I'm tired of playing the same thing every time." Then he stood up.

Lu Dieyi stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Yunzhong, don't you like riding and shooting? Let's go horse racing!" As he said that, he naturally wanted to take Ji Yunzhong's arm.

Ji Yunzhong calmly moved aside, dodging her hand, and said calmly: "Princess Mingyue doesn't like horse racing. We came out to play today mainly based on Mingyue's wishes."

Jian Yue:……

"You guys have your fun! Let's go somewhere else." Ji Yunzhong waved his hand and asked Jian Yue to leave.

Lu Dieyi's face was ugly, and she looked at Jian Yue with even more jealousy. She bit her lower lip tightly and looked at Ji Yunyi with grievance.

Ji Yunyi hurriedly said: "We haven't seen Brother Yunzhong for a long time, let's go together! Wherever Brother Yunzhong says to go, we'll go there."

Ji Yun frowned heavily.

Ji Yunyi added: "Besides, Brother Yunzhong and Princess Mingyue are alone together, so it is inevitable that people will misunderstand us. If we are all together, others will not gossip about us. Princess Mingyue, don't you think so?"

Jian Yue hehe.

If you guys and girls play together, you are no longer a single man and a single woman? Who are you implying?

Jian Yue smiled wryly and said, "To be honest, the customs of the people in Nanchang are quite open, and it is common for young men and women to hang out together. Otherwise, the two princesses and men who often appear in gambling houses would have been drowned by the spit of the world. Don't you think so, Princess Yunyi?"

Ji Yunyi's expression froze and she glared at Jian Yue angrily.

This peasant princess is so annoying! No one has ever dared to confront her in person.

"How dare you! You are disrespectful to the princess, slap me in the face!" Grandma Gao, who had been following behind with little presence, suddenly shouted angrily.

She was Ji Yunyi's maid and wet nurse, and she was very trusted by Ji Yunyi. Every time Ji Yunyi went out, she was worried and had to follow her in person.

In her heart, Ji Yunyi was more precious than any prince or princess, and she would not tolerate anyone neglecting her, let alone disrespecting her.

Ji Yunzhong's aura suddenly turned cold and he glanced at Grandma Gao.

Grandma Gao felt a chill coming towards her and her heart trembled involuntarily.

Upon hearing this, one of Ji Yunyi's maids walked up to Jian Yue and wanted to take action.

Fu Yun immediately stood in front of Jian Yue and said in a cold voice: "Who dares? Princess Mingyue is a princess who has been granted a title and a fiefdom by the emperor. Not everyone can bully her."

Seeing Ji Yunzhong's cold expression, Lu Dieyi was worried, afraid of angering him and losing the chance to contact him. She hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Forget it, we are all joking, how can we take it seriously! Yunyi, Princess Mingyue grew up in the countryside, she probably doesn't know many rules, so please don't make a fuss about it, okay?"

Ji Yunyi snorted, looking arrogant.

Jian Yue sneered: "I did grow up in the countryside, and I don't know the rules. But I know that as a person, you should at least be civilized and polite. When you first meet someone, you can't look down on them, and you can't belittle them in a sarcastic way. They didn't eat your rice, so why should they endure your humiliation? Do you think you can gain weight by belittling others? You are really bored and have nothing better to do!"

Ji Yunyi and Lu Dieyi were stunned by the scolding. Then their faces turned red, and they were so embarrassed that they wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

vulgar!

So vulgar!

Listen to what she said. A girl actually said such vulgar and obscene words.

Even Guo Xiao and others were frightened by Jian Yue's shocking words.

Although they were idle dandies, they usually interacted with dignified and polite noble ladies. No matter who these noble ladies were behind the scenes, at least they were gentle and docile on the surface. Even if they didn't like someone, they would say something with a hidden meaning, never so direct, so... bold.

Guo Xiao was speechless and looked at Jian Yue, then at Ji Yunzhong. The latter had a calm expression, as if he was used to it.

"Well, Fifth Prince, I know a fun place. Why don't we go to Nanhu Lake for a visit?" Guo Xiao tried to ease the tense atmosphere.

Jian Yue said: "Fifth Prince, I am a peasant from the country. I am not worthy to travel with a noble lady of noble birth and pure and innocent. I will go back first." After saying that, she turned and left.

Ji Yunzhong immediately followed and apologized: "I'm sorry! It's my fault. I shouldn't have brought you here. There are no good people who can come here."

Guo Xiao and others: ...

Lu Dieyi's face turned purple with anger, his eyes were spitting fire, and he stared at Jian Yue's back.

"Hmph! I don't know what's so good about such a crude bumpkin, but he actually seduced Brother Yunzhong's soul." Ji Yunyi was just saying this in anger, but she didn't know that Lu Dieyi felt even more upset after hearing it.

Jian Yue was originally very happy because she had learned a lot today, but she was ruined by the two princesses. Ji Yunzhong kept apologizing to her, but she felt embarrassed: "Your Highness, you don't have to apologize. It's not your fault. My experience is destined to be laughed at by some self-righteous people for the rest of my life. But I don't care. I am upright and I stand upright. If anyone wants to use my past experience to attack me, I will not let her have an easy time."

"I was weak and helpless before, and had to be bullied. Now I have the ability to protect myself, and I will never tolerate even the slightest bit of bullying. Don't you like to say that I am vulgar and uneducated? Then I will show them how vulgar I am, and I guarantee they will never forget it."

Ji Yunzhong laughed in silence: "You say you don't care, but you are still mad at them, aren't you? They are all pampered canaries, always looking down on others. They think they are superior to others, but they don't know that they are just tools for family marriages and poor victims. It's funny that they don't know this, and they look down on this and laugh at that like a clown all day long."

Jian Yue suddenly smiled, and her mood suddenly improved: "You are right, why should I be angry with those poor creatures?"

She looked around...
