Chapter 411 Birthday Banquet 6

Seeing that the banquet was too noisy, Feng Jingyuan and her wet nurse took the two children to a side to admire the flowers and play.

Just then, a cute little girl walked up to Feng Jingyuan. The little girl was pink and tender, and very adorable. She held a plush toy in her hand and handed it to Feng Jingyuan, saying, "This is for my little sister."

Feng Jingyuan was powerless against the beauty of the little baby, her eyes filled with tenderness, "Should we give this to your little sister?"

The little girl nodded. "Yes, it's a gift for my little sister. She's so pretty."

Feng Jingyuan held the doll in her hands. "Little Yan'er, quickly thank the big sister. What a beautiful doll!"

Xie Ziyan didn't particularly like the exquisite doll in front of her. She already had many doll toys. She stood quietly to the side, playing with the flowers in her hand, and didn't take the doll.

Feng Jingyuan felt embarrassed for her; it was so disrespectful. She handed the doll back to the little girl, saying, "The little girl said thank you for the gift, big sister. This doll is so cute, big sister, you can keep it for yourself!"

The little girl was reluctant to give away her doll and wanted to take it back, but...

Then she turned around and looked behind her, only to find that there was no one there.

Feng Jingyuan asked, "Are you looking for your mother?"

"Mother... Oh, Mother..." The little girl pointed in a direction but couldn't see her mother. Instantly, the little girl burst into tears.

When the little girl started crying, Feng Jingyuan became anxious and quickly comforted her, "Don't cry, don't cry..."

At this moment, the commotion also attracted the attention of the women who were enjoying the flowers and playing nearby. Soon, the nanny who was serving the little girl also came over. When she saw that the little princess was crying, she said urgently, "Why is the little princess crying? Who is bullying the little princess?"

The nanny pulled the little girl into her arms, and the little girl cried even harder.

Seeing the child's pitiful state, Feng Jingyuan wanted to pull her into her arms to comfort her, but as soon as she got close, the little girl pushed her away and shouted, "Bad grandma!"

This action angered the nanny, who pushed Feng Jingyuan to the ground. Feng Jingyuan, who had been playing with Xie Ziyan on the ground, did not notice that she would be suddenly pushed and fell to the ground with a thud.

Immediately afterward, the nanny snatched the doll from Feng Jingyuan's hands. "How dare you bully my little princess, Madam? You've taken my little princess's toy! I didn't push you, Madam. Are you trying to extort money from me by falling to the ground?"

Feng Jingyuan retorted, "How could I snatch a little girl's toy? She wanted to give it to Yan'er, but Yan'er didn't like it. And why would I extort a servant like you?"

Xie Ziyan was so frightened that she cried and hurriedly tried to pull Feng Jingyuan away. At this moment, the wet nurse and the palace maid arrived with Xie Hongyou. "Madam Jiang."

The group helped Feng Jingyuan up. Xie Hongyou held Xie Ziyan's hand and cried out, "Sister... you're crying..."

Xie Hongyou probably wanted to stop his sister from crying, but Xie Ziyan couldn't understand and couldn't speak, so she cried desperately.

And so Xie Ziyan and the little girl started crying together. When the child started crying, Feng Jingyuan was at a loss. She wanted to use the same methods she used on her own children on them, but the little girl was only two or three years old, and they were in the palace. So she could only comfort Xie Ziyan first, saying, "Little Yan, don't cry."

The old woman was still cursing, "Snatching other people's children's toys for your own, bullying my little princess because she has no one by her side, huh? How shameless."

At this moment, the women and young ladies around also gathered around and started chattering, "Isn't that Mrs. Jiang? She snatched the child's toy and gave it to her own grandson to play with..."

"It must be because her daughter is the Crown Princess! She has no manners at all in the palace."

"You made someone else's daughter cry, and then you pointed at her and called her a bad mother-in-law. Do you think children can lie?"

Feng Jingyuan heard the women gossiping and said, "Without evidence, ladies, don't talk nonsense. Be careful not to slip up with your tongues and cause trouble."

Immediately, the gossiping women fell silent, but some, seemingly unafraid of death, continued, "What's with the arrogance? Just because you have a Crown Princess as your daughter doesn't mean you're all that great! This world still belongs to your Jiang family!"

"The Crown Princess is beautiful and has won the Crown Prince's favor. Who's to say she won't become a member of the Jiang family in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Jingyuan wondered to herself, what did they mean by that? They probably wanted to use this as an excuse to say that Ruan Ruan was arrogant because of the emperor's favor and that she was bewitching him. They were using her daughter's appearance as a pretext, and the crown prince did indeed dote on her in every way. She couldn't explain herself even if she had eight mouths.

Jiang Rumeng also rushed over. Seeing her mother being talked about like that, she also learned the whole story. She unconsciously clenched her fingers to support her mother and told the palace maid to quickly go find the Crown Princess, as Ruan Ruan seemed to have gone to tidy up her appearance.

Just then, a woman dressed in white stepped out from the crowd and walked up to Feng Jingyuan and Jiang Rumeng. She said gently, "It's not Madam Jiang's fault."

Upon hearing this voice, everyone stopped making a fuss and looked at the woman in white. She squatted down in front of the little girl and said, "Little sister, I'll give you candy. Please don't cry. Are you crying because you want to find your mother?"

The little girl saw the candy and nodded, "Mother... I want Mother, waaaah..."

Seeing this, the nanny quickly said, "They are just taking advantage of the fact that my little princess has no one around to steal her toys and give them to Princess Danyang to play with."

The woman in white said, "I was admiring the flowers in the pavilion over there just now, and I happened to see this little girl offer the doll to Princess Danyang. The little princess didn't want it at all; she was just playing with the flowers in her hands. If you don't believe me, look, the little princess's hands are stained with flower juice, but the doll is completely dry. This shows that the little princess didn't take the doll from her; it was just a misunderstanding."

Feng Jingyuan suddenly realized something. Annoyed by the two children's crying, she said, "Xiao Yan'er doesn't like this doll at all. Why would I take her toy? This young lady saw with her own eyes that she offered to give the doll to her sister. This scoundrel is just making trouble out of nothing."

Just then, Xie Shang arrived. His aura was imposing as he stood there. He had just arrived when he heard what the woman in white was saying.

Upon seeing this, everyone quickly bowed in respect.

Seeing his daughter crying so hard, with tear stains on her face, Xie Shang didn't even look at the others, and directly took his daughter into his arms.

The woman in white bowed her head respectfully and said, "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Xie Shang glanced at her sideways. She had just taken the initiative to clarify the truth. He said, "No need for formalities!"

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhu Yiyi held a round fan in her hand, her face appearing and disappearing behind the fan. Xie Shang looked through the fan and saw that her eyes were sparkling and a refreshing fragrance wafted over. She was dressed in a snow-white robe, looking like a fairy.
