Chapter 113

Natural Idol Who Traveled Through Time × Bickering Poison Ivy from Another Time 23 Part 1

"Don't take her too seriously. If you really encounter her, just brush her off." Xi Zhuoyu said this to Jiang Yuchao before they parted.

He had casually mentioned before that Princess Nasha had tried to talk to him a few times and it was a bit annoying. His fan immediately got all fired up, and judging by her stance as she entered the palace, she was probably going to pick a fight. Thinking of the rumors about Princess Nasha being fierce and good at fighting, Xi Zhuoyu was a bit worried that his wife might get the short end of the stick if she couldn't beat the princess.

Jiang Yuchao: "Don't worry brother, I know my limits." But who was she afraid of?

The two parted ways to go meet the Emperor and Empress respectively, and then go together to Ruxia Palace for the banquet. Lan Qiao followed beside Jiang Yuchao and asked excitedly: "Mistress, are we going to find that Princess Nasha now?"

Jiang Yuchao: "What do we need to find her for. Just wait, she'll deliver herself to us."

When she entered the palace this time, quite a few ladies came up to chat with her. This had been the treatment ever since Jiang Yuchao became Prince Yuling's wife. But there were also a few people who whispered while looking at her, their eyes full of schadenfreude, probably because they had all heard about the matter with Princess Nasha.

"I heard she's very good-looking. Last time someone saw Prince Yuling talking with her alone."

"Hey, she's here, she's here, that's her!"

A fiery beauty strode in. She scanned the crowd, quickly passing over Jiang Yuchao in the corner, pretending not to see her as she loudly asked: "Has Prince Yuling's wife arrived? Come out and let me see you."

Everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Yuchao. Amidst the crowd's anticipatory gazes, Jiang Yuchao lifted her eyelids and glanced at Princess Nasha, tagging her in her mind. If the previous Princess Chunxi was naively vicious, then this Princess Nasha was arrogantly barbaric. One was a daring schemer, the other a reckless bulldozer.

And she herself was the type to fear no one and dare to do anything.

"Judging by this attire, you're Princess Nasha." Jiang Yuchao smiled slightly.

Princess Nasha sized her up and shook her head. "It's you? Indeed nothing special, quite ordinary-looking."

Jiang Yuchao: "Yes, my looks are average. I was worried I wouldn't be able to find a husband before, who knew I'd end up finding the best one."

Princess Nasha snorted. "You've got a glib tongue. Do you dare to come out with me and have a chat somewhere else?"

Jiang Yuchao: "Sure, after you."

Princess Nasha spoke the official language with a slight accent, but very fluently. She was tall and wore men's hunting attire, looking like she could fight. Lan Qiao was worried her mistress would be bullied. Seeing her mistress stand up, she hurriedly followed.

Walking out, Princess Nasha said bluntly: "I don't want to be stared at like a monkey by those women. The women here are all useless. I could beat ten or eight of you with one hand. I bet you can't even bear children, all of you are so weak. Your men don't even see you as human. I really pity you."

The contempt and arrogance in her tone was obvious. Jiang Yuchao listened without comment.

Regardless of others, she disliked this behavior of belittling others based on one's own sense of superiority. In the original novel, she had also seen this Princess Nasha appear, fighting with the female lead over the second male lead. The female lead felt her personality was to her taste and had a tacit understanding with her, graciously conceding the second male lead.

She had only read up to there and didn't read further. So one of the reasons she was so angry when she first read the original novel was that the female lead had magnanimously given the second male lead to the female supporting character Princess Nasha. What? The second male lead was yours, and you talked so magnanimously about giving him to your good sister to enjoy?

Jiang Yuchao disliked the original female lead. In this first meeting with Princess Nasha, she also basically confirmed that she similarly disliked Princess Nasha. It was great for women to be strong and tireless, but to be complacent about it and mock other women's lifestyles and choices was simply ridiculous.

In different positions, receiving different educations, growing up in different environments, did she think everyone was as lucky as her? Without empathy and compassion, one would never understand what equality meant, and would never be truly strong.

"Before learning to be a 'man' or 'woman', first learn to be a person." Jiang Yuchao stood a few steps away from Princess Nasha and said mildly: "Princess Nasha, I presume you didn't come to discuss with me how pitiful the women here are."

Princess Nasha crossed her arms. "Fine, I'll be direct then. I came to tell you to voluntarily withdraw from between me and Prince Yuling. The position of Prince Yuling's wife is wasted on you. It should belong to a woman like me."

Jiang Yuchao: "Oh? Then tell me, why should this position belong to you?"

In this moment, Jiang Yuchao even felt like she was an HR at a company, interviewing a job applicant for the title of prince's wife - in a sense, this wasn't wrong.

Princess Nasha: "I am a princess of the Bie tribe, so my status is naturally nobler than yours. I have unparalleled beauty and wisdom. Also, like Prince Yuling, I like raising dogs. I have over a dozen hunting hounds. Of course he and I are the most well-matched."

Jiang Yuchao: "Noble status, beautiful and clever? To describe it in a phrase, a frog in a well that doesn't know how big the world is."

"Princess Nasha, look at that flock of ducks on the lake. That lead duck, before seeing a swan, also thought it was the best-looking in its group of ducks. Actually, it's just a duck."

Princess Nasha's willow brows shot up. "What did you say!"

Jiang Yuchao: "You said you like raising dogs, so you're well-matched with our prince?"

Princess Nasha glared at her disdainfully. "Of course. We have a shared hobby. What I raise are wolf hounds that can catch prey. As for you, you'd probably be too scared to even approach those dogs."

"Heh, our prince raises dogs out of love. You raising dogs is just a disaster." Jiang Yuchao tucked her hands into her sleeves, her face full of mockery as she glanced at Princess Nasha. "Whether I like dogs or not doesn't matter, as long as I like our prince. As for you, since you like dogs so much, I think you might not be a match with our prince, but more of a match with dogs."

Princess Nasha took two steps forward. "How dare you, you dare insult me!"

Lan Qiao nervously tried to block Jiang Yuchao, but was pushed behind by her. Jiang Yuchao: "Don't get angry just yet, I still have a gift I prepared to give you."

Princess Nasha couldn't keep up with her face that changed every three seconds. She looked at her suspiciously, "What are you up to?"

Jiang Yuchao pulled something out from her sleeve and waved it in front of Princess Nasha. It was a pretty feather ornament. "This is an apology gift. Come, let your sister put it on for you." She swiftly inserted the feather accessory into Princess Nasha's hair.

Princess Nasha said, "Now you're giving me gifts to apologize, knowing my power and not daring to fight me anymore?"

Jiang Yuchao solemnly asked Lan Qiao, "Lan Qiao, do you think this thing matches Princess Nasha?"

Lan Qiao, who was laughing so hard beside them, nodded and loudly replied, "Pei* ah!"

*T/N: Pei means to match/go with, but it can also mean to spit.
