The wind blew her black hair, the willow branches swayed, a cup of tea was slightly cool on the tea table, and a clear and elegant fragrance rose from the small incense burner. Her half-tied black hair was decorated with gold ornaments, and the peony butterfly hairpin made of pearls and emerald feathers inserted in her bun was particularly eye-catching. She had bright eyes and white teeth, and a string of pearl necklaces on her neck was round and flawless, which must be a tribute from another country. The yellow-green jade bracelet on her jade wrist revealed the black mole inside her wrist. The girl sat under the willow tree, her dress was bright and colorful, with exquisite embroidery, sipping tea and watching the fish swimming in the lake. She had a natural temperament, and was majestic without anger. Her luxurious clothes also served as a foil.

No one dared to approach her from a distance.

Everyone was saying that Miss Jiang of the Duke's Mansion suddenly changed her personality and lost her former gentle and humble temperament. She even dared to cancel the marriage between her and the Prince of Ying, which was personally granted by the royal family. Not only did she do such a thing that offended the royal family, but she also got away with it.

People thought about it and felt that it was not surprising. What kind of family is the Duke's Mansion? What is Jiang Ruohua's background? As a descendant of a noble family and the daughter of a powerful official, it is not difficult for her to cancel the marriage with the prince.

Some people just thought that it should have been done a long time ago. Although the Prince of Ying had a good political record, he had not yet married, but he brought the daughter of a poor family with him, as if he had already taken her as a concubine. Isn't this a slap in the face of Jiang Ruohua, the future princess?

In the past, Jiang Ruohua turned a blind eye to this and compromised. To put it nicely, she was gentle and humble. To put it bluntly, she was weak and incompetent. She didn't even have the airs of a princess. The Jiang family lost all face. No wonder the Jiang family ignored her no matter how she bowed in front of King Ying. In fact, they thought their daughter was embarrassed!

Looking at the fish swimming in the pond, Jiang Ruohua drank the somewhat cold tea. It was really comfortable to drink the cold tea when the summer was just about to rise.

The noble ladies were either afraid of the broken engagement and avoided her, or they didn't like her very much in the past. At this moment, her ears were clear, her brows were relaxed, and her eyes were happy.

But of course, some people were unhappy. Among the noble ladies in the garden, there was one person who couldn't be provoked, and there was another person.

She looked at the direction of the person who came in a nonchalant manner. Her calmness and composure made the other person stumble and almost lose his momentum. Jiang Ruohua raised the corners of her lips slightly and placed the silk round fan in her hand on the table. When she was asked to speak, I felt pity for Zhao Yuexi. Her thin eyebrows and almond eyes and plain dress did make her look delicate, but it was a pity that this beauty was fragile. She was always sad and sorrowful. It was okay to see her once, but it would be unlucky if she saw it too many times.

Thinking back to the scene in the dream, it was hard for her to have such a good temper in the dream, to tolerate such a porcelain that could be broken by carelessness and always be an eyesore by her side.

Among the noble ladies in the capital, Jiang Ruohua and Zhao Yuexi are the ones who cannot be messed with. One is the legitimate daughter of a noble family, and the other is the beloved daughter of Prince Ying. Similarly, no one among the noble ladies likes them. Jiang Ruohua cannot bring shame to her family and is really unworthy of the position of princess. Zhao Yuexi is an orphan from a poor family who lives in her uncle's house. She sticks to Prince Ying in plain clothes all day long, pretending to be good and coquettish and learning the manners of the lowest class. The noble ladies are ashamed to associate with her.

"Miss Jiang." Zhao Yuexi walked to Jiang Ruohua, her face seemed to be a little red from anger, and she pretended to be sick. "May I ask what exactly did you do to His Royal Highness the Prince of Ying? I have never seen the prince like that... ahem, the prince has never spoken to me in that manner. If you really wanted to break off the engagement and never have any contact with me again, how could the prince be like this now?"

After she finished saying all this, Jiang Ruohua frowned slightly and looked at the staggering Zhao Yuexi: "If the Prince of Ying treats you badly, that is the Prince of Ying's business. What does it have to do with me?"

"Or is it that Miss Zhao, the apple of Prince Ying's eye, cannot hold his heart, and instead wants to ask me, the one who broke off the engagement with Prince Ying?" She spoke sarcastically and laughed wildly, then changed the subject and said, "That's not impossible. If Miss Zhao is sincere, just kneel down and beg me."

"When asking for help, you should have the attitude of asking for help. There is absolutely no right for the beggar to be aggressive!"

His eyebrows raised and his eyes turned cold, revealing his sternness. He no longer looked like he was not prepared to show his presence before!

"You..." Zhao Yuexi was shocked by Jiang Ruohua's words. Her face turned pale and she could not help but take a step back. In the past, her confidence was the King of Ying. Now that the King of Ying was not by her side, she had never thought that Jiang Ruohua had such a powerful side. She was immediately panicked, but she had to grit her teeth and not let go. She could not lose the support of the King of Ying as a dependent. "Miss Jiang, isn't it too much to say that? After the prince broke off the engagement with you, he seemed to have become a different person. Isn't Miss Jiang afraid of being criticized for this?"

Zhao Yuexi spoke softly, but she could not hide her anxiety.

But Jiang Ruohua was not anxious. Criticism? If she was still afraid of this now, she would not be Jiang Ruohua!

"Miss Zhao seems to have made a mistake." Jiang Ruohua reminded with a smile, "It was me who went to the palace to meet the emperor and personally canceled the marriage with His Royal Highness Prince Ying. Miss Zhao spoke so vaguely, as if I, Jiang Ruohua, was abandoned. She opened her mouth and wanted to discredit others. Do you know the pros and cons of this? As for the criticism." She

paused and said, "Since I dare to cancel the royal marriage, I, Jiang Ruohua, am not afraid of this, and the Jiang family is even less afraid."

She raised her eyes to meet Zhao Yuexi's evasive gaze, and said calmly, "Miss Zhao, think twice about everything. You can't afford to offend me who dares to offend the royal family."

Zhao Yuexi's face turned pale for an instant, and then she left in a daze.

"Huacang, let's go." Jiang Ruohua drank the remaining tea and found the tea garden boring. She really wanted to teach Zhao Yuexi a lesson. Zhao Yuexi in plain clothes was as lovable as a delicate little flower, which was the look that King Ying liked. But if she didn't learn the principles, skills and vision that the ladies of high families knew, she would ultimately be just a delicate little flower that lived on King Ying's love.

"Miss, please slow down." Hua Chan walked quickly to Jiang Ruohua's side, supported her and whispered, "Miss, if the Third Madam knew you were like this, she would be angry."

Jiang Ruohua ignored her and asked her something else, "Hua Chan, do you think it was better to behave yourself and do your duty for the King of Ying in the past, or to have the final say now?"

"This..." Hua Chan was hesitant, "I only know that this is a real lady. If the lady is so happy, then I think this is better."

"That's it. If the Third Madam is angry, let her be angry." Jiang Ruohua said casually, not taking it to heart. She closed her eyes for a moment, and her mind was full of the dream from a few days ago.

The dream was so real, so real that every detail in it was reflected in it. The Prince of Ying disliked her as his wife and treated Zhao Yuexi as a treasure and humiliated her in every way. Yet she was so submissive and even hid her true self so that no one knew. It was all because the Third Lady, the aunt, took advantage of the fact that there were no other female elders in the Duke's Mansion and restricted her in the name of doing things for her own good.

3. Novels are for entertainment. As long as they can satisfy a person's fantasy, they are valuable. Any novel may conflict with the three views of reality. If you like it, read it. If you don't like it, discard it. Even if you love it to death, don't imitate any plot. Remember that reality and fantasy are two different things. Don't learn the three views from novels. Entertainment is only a small part of life. Entertainment is just entertainment. No matter how important it is, it is only important entertainment. Don't let it occupy everything.
