Sang Rui's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this.
Is it finally coming?
Thinking about it, she looked smugly at Sang Jiang at the head of the table, thinking that in the end, Tianyi would still be hers.
Sang Jiang was completely focused on the plate of red bean paste cakes in front of her, so she didn't even glance at her.
This time, everyone's attention turned to them again, but this time they were looking at the First Madam and Sang Rui, not Sang Jiang.
Sang Rui felt everyone's gaze and smiled with satisfaction.
She really enjoys the feeling of everyone looking at her; she likes the envious glances others give her.
The First Madam rose and knelt in the middle: "Your Majesty, please speak."
Even though she already knew what was going to be said, she still pretended not to know.
"His Majesty told me that the Third Miss and the Crown Prince Tianyi have always been in love, so he specially took this opportunity to bestow a marriage upon them. I wonder what the Madam and the Prime Minister think?"
Sang Rui appeared to be looking down, but she was actually paying attention to her surroundings the whole time.
As expected, as soon as the Empress finished speaking, many young ladies from prominent families cast envious glances at her.
At this moment, the First Madam was extremely happy, but she still had to maintain her dignity as the First Madam: "Everything is up to His Majesty and Her Highness to arrange."
The Empress nodded: "Yes, the imperial edict will be sent to Xiangfu later. It was originally Tianyi's fault for being so ignorant and insisting on annulling the engagement with the Fourth Miss..."
The First Madam remained kneeling, her brows furrowed: "We cannot comment on the child's matter. Since Jiang'er and the Crown Prince are not destined for each other, I will naturally choose a suitable match for Jiang'er in the future."
"Yes, get up and sit down."
Sangjiang: ? ? ?
Why is she being dragged into this again?
Seeing that she was holding it in, Sang Ruo quietly handed her a glass of wine.
Sang Jiang choked on the mung bean cake, so she grabbed it and drank it without thinking.
Sure enough, I felt much better after drinking it.
Since she wasn't going to say anything, she didn't believe they could force her to speak.
The banquet drew to a close amidst everyone's own hidden agendas.
The Empress Dowager yawned and said, "I'm getting old, so I'll head back now. You young people can have your fun on your own."
Everyone was exhausted, but because the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and the Imperial Concubine were present, no one dared to be the first to suggest leaving. When the Empress Dowager finally spoke, Sang Jiang was the happiest.
Now that the Empress Dowager is gone, she can leave too.
Before she could even feel happy for two seconds, she heard the Empress Dowager say, "Madam Prime Minister, I am very fond of the Fourth Miss. I wonder if it would be possible for the Fourth Miss to stay and keep me company for a few days?"
Sangjiang: ? ? ?
No! He doesn't want to!
She just wants to be a couch potato and go back to make money!
The First Madam didn't actually want Sang Jiang to stay, but given the Empress Dowager's personality, once she spoke up, Sang Jiang definitely couldn't leave.
"Your Majesty, my daughter is unruly and I'm afraid she'll bother you."
"It's alright, I just like girls like Xiao Jiang Jiang."
Sang Jiang: Little Jiang Jiang? When did she and the Empress Dowager become so familiar? They haven't exchanged a single word!
"Then I will trouble Your Majesty with my daughter's help."
The Empress Dowager got the answer she wanted and nodded with a smile.
He left the banquet immediately.
Her head maid, Zifeng, stayed behind and went to Sang Jiang's side: "Fourth Miss, I will take care of your daily life for the time being. If you need anything, just call me."
Her tone was extremely respectful, as if she were treating Sang Jiang as her master.
Zi Teng was the Empress Dowager's most trusted confidante, and her continued presence here is proof enough of the Empress Dowager's high regard for Sang Jiang.
The young ladies once again cast envious glances at Sang Jiang; the Prime Minister's mansion was definitely the biggest winner today.
