Chapter 253 Complaint

"Your Highness, Miss Wu is here." Zhu Zhanji was sorting things at his desk. When he heard Wu Cheng say that Wu Yingyue was here, he immediately looked up.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Wu Yingyue saluted.

"You go now. I have something to talk to Yingyue alone." Zhu Zhanji immediately sent Wu Cheng away.

After Wu Cheng left, Zhu Zhanji waved for someone to come to him, "Come closer."

Wu Yingyue walked over slowly with her head lowered.

"Why are you looking down? Lift your head so I can get a good look at you."

Wu Yingyue slowly raised her head, looked at Zhu Zhanji timidly, and said, "Your Highness."

"What's wrong? Why are you crying for no reason? Tell me, what happened? Did someone bully you?" Zhu Zhanji hurriedly found a handkerchief to wipe her tears, but the little pearls kept increasing and he could not wipe them all away.

"Your Highness, please don't be so nice to me in the future. I can't bear it." Wu Yingyue said while shaking with tears.

Zhu Zhanji was puzzled: "What are you talking about? Did someone say something nonsense in front of you? Tell me, who is it? I want to see who dares to gossip."

"I can't say that. If I say that you lost your temper, those sisters will be punished."

"Those? There are quite a lot of people here, Wu Cheng!" Zhu Zhanji shouted outside, and Wu Cheng came in immediately.

"Your Highness."

"Go check. Those people who talked too much today will be fined three months' salary. If they do it again, they will be beaten with a stick."

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Wu Cheng went out to deal with it immediately.

"Your Highness, how can I get along with those sisters if you are like this? They will definitely blame me." Wu Yingyue continued to chat.

"They are wrong this time. Besides, you will be their master in the future, so don't be afraid." Zhu Zhanji continued to paint a rosy picture for her.

When Wu Yingyue heard Zhu Zhanji say this, she felt so happy, "I support your Highness."

"Okay, how about this, I'll take you to the garden to relax." Zhu Zhanji said, then took her hand and walked out.

In the garden

Zhu Zhanji did not take her to the Imperial Garden. There was a small garden in the East Palace, and there were people there when they arrived.

"Brother." Princess Jiaxing and Zhu Zhanji were talking. When they saw Zhu Zhanji coming, they ran over to greet him.

"Why are you here?" Zhu Zhanji hadn't seen his sister for a long time, and spoke to her with a smile.

"I often come here to play, but why did you suddenly come to visit the garden today, brother? Did you bring your sister-in-law with you?" Jiaxing asked while looking behind Zhu Zhanji.

"No, your sister-in-law is having a good rest now and hasn't gone out." Zhu Zhanji explained.

"Well, I know. Mother said that my sister-in-law is pregnant." Jiaxing continued to ask, "Then why don't you go to accompany my sister-in-law, and bring another woman with you."

She raised her head and stared at Wu Yingyue. Her elder brother would never let the palace maids get so close to him before.

"Jiaxing, don't be rude. You can call her sister."

"What are you talking about, brother? I call her sister. Oh, I see. Is this brother's new favorite? My sister-in-law is pregnant, and you are like this..."

"Okay, you are so young, who taught you these?"

"Your Highness Princess, I am just a palace maid serving Your Highness. I have nothing to do with You..." Wu Yingyue said.

"Do you believe what I said? Do you dare to say that you have no feelings for my eldest brother? If you do, then you won't admit it. You really can't see clearly. You can't even compare to my sister-in-law, who is not even a hair of yours."

"Jiaxing, you are getting more and more unreasonable. Why don't you take the princess back home? You just play around all day long."

"Princess, let's go back first, okay? You've been out for quite a while, the Crown Princess must be worried." A palace servant beside her advised.

"Brother, you have changed. You would never treat me like this before." When Jiaxing heard Zhu Zhanji being mean to her, tears welled up in her eyes.

"I'm sorry." Zhu Zhanji realized belatedly that he might have been a little too aggressive and apologized hastily.

"Hmph, I don't want to pay attention to you." Jiaxing said and left without looking back.
