Chapter 1303 What's the Purpose?
The peonies of various colors, more than half a person's height, are obviously well cared for. The clusters of them have thick stems and lush branches and leaves. Among the green branches and leaves are huge flowers as big as bowls. There are all kinds of colors, including bright red with gold stamens, snow white, rose red, purple red, light green, goose yellow, pink, etc. Most of them are double petals, with layers of petals stretched out, delicate and beautiful, stretching out to their heart's content in the bright sunshine, pleasing to the eye.
Hibiscus Pavilion is a very spacious square pavilion, and a table and chairs have already been set up.
The Fourth Prince's wife raised her hand with a smile, inviting the Crown Princess to take a seat at the upper seat.
The Crown Princess sat down, followed by several princes' wives, royal princesses, and princesses of counties. Everyone else, led by palace maids, also sat down in their respective seats.
Tea and snacks had been prepared on the table. It was obvious that everyone was from the same circle and often attended various banquets and parties. They were familiar with each other with just a glance and a smile. They also knew that the Crown Princess was always dignified and amiable, so they were not afraid of her, and soon they began to talk and laugh warmly and easily.
Before, Concubine Shi had invited Qiao Xuan to a banquet at the Fourth Prince's villa, but it was obvious that there was a big difference between Concubine Shi and the Fourth Prince's wife.
Back then, Concubine Shi was the center of attention, but today she can only sit behind the Fourth Prince's wife, smiling and looking down on others.
As for He Zhiqing, she could only lower her head and serve behind the Fourth Prince's wife like a palace maid. Her clothes were also similar to those of the first-class palace maids who were popular beside the Fourth Prince's wife, and she did not dare to stand out.
Qiao Xuan glanced at her, and just in time to meet her gaze, she immediately looked away.
Things have really changed a lot since then. Back then in Yuzhang provincial capital, He Zhiqing, as the cousin of the Xie family, was the object of fawning and pursuit by the ladies of various wealthy families in the provincial capital. She was both talented and beautiful, and extremely elegant. Countless ladies envied her as a role model.
However, when she arrived at the Fourth Prince's house, she was just like a maid.
I really don’t know if she regrets having come to this point.
What's the point?
Qiao Xuan didn't feel sympathy for her, but she still kept it in mind.
She hasn't forgotten how she instigated Qiao Wei to do such a despicable thing!
However, she had no plans to do anything to her for the time being. If that thing didn't work out, then her life in the Fourth Prince's mansion wouldn't be easy, right?
As they were talking, everyone stood up. The flowers in the garden were in full bloom, so it was a good idea to go out for a walk.
The young ladies could no longer hold back and each of them invited their best friends to sit together, chatting and laughing.
The Fourth Prince's wife and others naturally accompanied the Crown Princess.
Tian Shanshan is the fourth prince's cousin, so she was naturally here today too. When she walked past Qiao Xuan, she glanced at her with contempt and curled her lips.
However, even with her presence, no other young ladies or young ladies dared to approach Qiao Xuan or greet her proactively.
Fan didn't want to openly cause trouble for Miss Tian.
Besides, most of the guests of the Fourth Prince's wife today were from the Fourth Prince's faction, and would not give face to Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan understood in her heart, but she was too lazy to get close to others.
Just as she was about to stroll around with Lixia, a palace maid accidentally spilled half a pot of tea on Lixia when passing by her and Qiao Xuan.
Lixia was so scared that she screamed "Ah!"
Qiao Xuan was also surprised and hurriedly pulled Lixia: "Is it hot?"
Lixia's face turned red and white, and she shook her head nervously. The tea was not hot, but it was quite hot, making her feel uncomfortable.
