"Tsk, some people are just pretending to be noble. I'm afraid they have never seen these things in their lives."

Just then, a mocking voice came from the side.

Jiang Xueying forgot to look past and found that it was Jiang Xueshu who was walking towards her. She walked gracefully and stopped in front of her for two seconds, glancing at her from top to bottom with her proud eyes.

"Jiang Xueying, how can a country woman like you who grew up in the countryside have the nerve to come to such an occasion? It's really embarrassing."

"you--"

Chen Simin was about to retort when Jiang Xueying held her hand down. She looked at her angrily and puzzledly, "Sister Jiang..."

"Simin, be patient. You don't have to respond to every dog ​​barking."

"Jiang Xueying, you bitch, you actually called me a dog!"

"Okay, Sixth Sister, don't you still have to present a gift to the princess? Don't delay!"

A gentle but irresistible voice sounded behind Jiang Xueshu. She turned around and glanced at Jiang Xuening who had walked behind her without her noticing. Then she said reluctantly, "I know, big sister."

After saying that, she glared at Jiang Xueying fiercely again, then slowly walked forward.

As she walked onto the stage, everyone's eyes fell on her. Jiang Xueshu enjoyed the feeling of being the focus of the crowd. She immediately raised her chin, supported herself towards Princess Shou, and said in a pinched voice, "Princess, your servant Jiang Xueshu wishes you a happy birthday."

"Okay, okay."

Princess Shou looked at her with a smile, squinting her eyes and looking her up and down, "You...you are the daughter of General Jiang's family?"

"Yes, Princess. I am the sixth daughter of the Jiang family. Today, on your birthday, I would like to play a song to celebrate your birthday."

Jiang Shu showed a sweet smile, looking ingratiating.

"Okay, then let's enjoy Miss Jiang's piano music."

Jiang Xueshu bowed, gracefully had the guqin placed in place, and then began to play. Beautiful sounds instantly flowed from her fingertips, causing people around her to praise her endlessly.

Chen Simin felt a little angry when she saw this scene. She looked at Jiang Xueying next to her and couldn't help but said, "Sister Jiang, aren't you angry when she said that to you?"

In her eyes, Jiang Xueying was never someone who was easy to bully. Why was she so patient today? Was it because she was her sister? But they never treated her as her sister...

"Si Min, there's nothing to be angry about. Instead of spending time being angry, why not try today's food? Some of these dishes are pretty good. We can try them out when we go back."

Jiang Xueying never liked to argue verbally with others, let alone with someone she never took seriously.

"Third sister is really magnanimous. In fact, Sixth sister just has a bad temper. She is not a bad person. I hope Third sister will not take it to heart."

Jiang Xue Ning, who was sitting nearby, suddenly said this, presumably having heard their conversation.

Jiang Xueying glanced at her and said calmly, "Let me remind you one last time, I am Jiang Xueying, not your sister."

She didn't like this kind of hypocritical behavior in the backyard, nor did she want to guess what kind of mentality Jiang Xue Ning had when she said these words to her.

These words made Jiang Xue Ning's expression freeze for a moment. Just as she was about to say something, she heard an extremely sharp sound suddenly coming from above, and the beautiful piano music was completely ruined in an instant.

The Princess Shou on the stage also looked a little gloomy, and Jiang Xueshu, who was playing the piano, was even more flustered.

The rest of the guests began to whisper to each other, and their words were full of ridicule and criticism towards Jiang Xueshu.

Jiang Xue Ning's face changed slightly, and then she stood up quickly, walked forward quickly, pulled Jiang Xue Shu over, knelt in front of Princess Shou, and apologized: "My sister was nervous and played the wrong music. I hope the princess will forgive me. I, Jiang Xue Ning, am willing to play a piece of high-brow music for the princess to apologize."

"Oh, you can play highbrow music?"

Princess Shou raised her eyebrows slightly, and the slight anger she had just felt was also taken away by this sentence. She has always loved guqin music, and this is her favorite piece among them.

However, this requires the player to have extremely advanced skills, so she has only heard it a few times over the years.

"yes."

Jiang Xue Ning supported herself, walked towards the guqin, and sat down calmly.

The slender white fingers fell on the ancient strings and danced slowly. The light and smooth melody instantly filled everyone's ears, making them reveal an expression of enjoyment.

Princess Shou also nodded, with appreciation showing on her face.

When the song ended, there was continuous applause at the table. Jiang Xuening remained calm as she slowly walked back to Princess Shou, bowed her head and said, "This minister only wishes Princess a happy birthday with this song. I hope everything goes well for you."

"As expected of the eldest daughter of General Jiang, she has the demeanor of General Jiang."

Princess Shou couldn't help but praise.

Jiang Xueshu, who had already stepped aside, looked at Jiang Xuening, who was being praised. Even though he had always respected her, he couldn't help but feel a little bitter and angry. When he looked away, he happened to see Jiang Xueying, who was sitting below him with no change in expression. He was so angry that he immediately said, "It's the princess' birthday. How can some people just eat the feast without giving any gifts?"

These crisp words made the place quiet instantly, and everyone followed her gaze to Jiang Xueying at the table.

Jiang Xueying, who was eating happily, suddenly became the focus of the crowd. Her brows slowly frowned and she looked up at her.

"Why, is there anything wrong with what I said, Jiang Xueying?"

Jiang Xueshu continued to provoke, with mockery in her eyes.

Seeing this, Jiang Xueying also stood up and looked at her coldly.

"How can you be sure that I didn't give you a gift?"

"Everyone saw it, and you didn't even stand up. How can you give a gift?"

Jiang Xueshu sneered, "Maybe you sneaked in?"

However, the smug smile on her face did not last long, as she heard Princess Shou speaking from above.

"Oh? How come the guest that I sincerely invited became the villain in Miss Jiang's mouth?"

These words made Jiang Xueshu, who had been mocking her at first, turn pale and kneel down quickly. She didn't know why Princess Shou would talk to her like this just for Jiang Xueying.

"As for gifts, all this delicious food was provided by Miss Jiang, so why doesn't it count?"

This shocked everyone present, because everyone knew that the food for today's birthday banquet was provided by Yueyinglou, which had recently become famous in Kyoto. So according to what Princess Shou meant...

The woman in front of me named Jiang Xueying is the boss behind Yueyinglou! ?

This, this, this...how is this possible?

Jiang Xueying showed no expression in response to their shock. She just bowed respectfully to the Princess Shou above her and said, "Thank you, Princess, for rescuing me."
