Chapter 1291: Chapter 1291: The Plan

Aside from the Ice Bracelet, the Princess of Prince Rui Residence also gave a token to Su Yunjin. It was a token that only the masters of Prince Rui Residence could possess. Although Su Yunjin was not the owner of Prince Rui Residence, as the Princess’s sworn sister, it was only natural for Su Yunjin to have the Princess’s Jade Token. Su Yunjin accepted the token.

She felt secretly fortunate that today she had worn a piece of jewelry she could present with pride. Since the Princess had given Su Yunjin a bracelet and the Jade Token, Su Yunjin also gave her a string of Tourmaline coral liuli beads that she was wearing. The Princess laughed as she received them and formally exchanged gifts, and with this, Su Yunjin was officially her sworn sister.

Having announced this, the Princess let everyone relax and eat without formalities. Having just accepted Su Yunjin as her sworn sister, the Princess pulled Su Yunjin aside to sit and chat.

Prince Rui was also there, appraising Su Yunjin, who was walking over with the Princess. A flash of astonishment gleamed in his eyes; he hadn’t expected such a demeanor from a simple village girl. Besides her temperament, Su Yunjin’s appearance was also striking. Having been a Prince for so many years, he had a knack for judging people, and Su Yunjin didn’t strike him as someone who would cunningly try to ingratiate herself in pursuit of higher status.

Thinking that she had saved his woman several times with her exceptional medical skills, Su Yunjin was exactly the kind of person the Princess needed. What if he could bring Su Yunjin to serve at the Princess’s side? Wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone? First, the Princess liked Su Yunjin and bringing her into the Wang Residence would give the Princess company, which would surely make her happy. Second, with Su Yunjin’s medical skills, having her at Prince Rui Residence would mean having her on hand to treat illnesses and save lives.

As Prince Rui contemplated the idea of keeping Su Yunjin at Prince Rui Residence, Su Yunjin had already walked up to him with the Princess. Su Yunjin first bowed respectfully.

"Greetings to Your Highness!" Su Yunjin bent her waist, and the Princess looked at Prince Rui with a smile, "Your Highness, this is Mrs. Su, whom I’ve spoken to you about and who is also my sworn sister."

Originally, Prince Rui didn’t like someone like Su Yunjin, assuming that she had used some schemes to gain the Princess’s favor.

But now, after meeting Su Yunjin, all his prejudices against her vanished. With a casual wave of his hand, Prince Rui said, "Rise! No need for such formality. Since the Princess has acknowledged you as her sworn sister, you may consider me your brother-in-law."

Although Prince Rui courteously suggested that Su Yunjin treat him as a brother-in-law, Su Yunjin dared not do so. She was well aware of her own status and knew not to take Prince Rui’s words to heart as if she truly were his sister-in-law.

The disparity in status was evident; Su Yunjin understood the importance of keeping to her station. Some things were better heard and not acted upon; otherwise, becoming conceited could lead to the displeasure of the others and Prince Rui, which would be undesirable.

The Princess pulled Su Yunjin to sit down at a side table, "Mrs. Su, these pastries were made by chefs brought from Jincheng by His Highness. They taste quite good. Try some and see."

The Princess offered the pastries to Su Yunjin, who examined the delicacies on the plate. Indeed, these were different from those she had seen in Prince Qi Residence before.

These pastries were even more exquisite than those she had encountered previously in Prince Qi Residence. Su Yunjin casually selected one to taste, as the Princess watched her and asked, "Sister, how is it? Does the pastry suit your palate?" Having recognized Su Yunjin as her sworn sister, the Princess had also changed the way she addressed her, no longer calling her Mrs. Su but intimately referring to her as a sister.
