Bai Shu and the others followed the maid to the back garden of the Queen's bedroom. As soon as they entered the door, they were attracted by the fragrance of flowers brought by the spring breeze.
They hadn't arrived too early, and by this time there were already quite a few young women gathered inside, as dazzling as the hundreds of flowers competing for beauty, a scene of spring filling the garden...
When Bai Shu approached, many people's eyes turned to her involuntarily.
After all, whether it was her identity as the daughter of the prime minister or her love-hate relationship with the number one scholar, she was well-known in the circle of noble ladies in the capital.
"Miss Bai, it's been a while since we last met. How have you been lately?"
"Bai Shu, you're here too!"
"Oh, it's Sister Shu!"
“…”
As soon as Bai Shu stepped into the banquet hall, several young ladies from royal families came to greet her.
During this year, Bai Shu's mindless pursuit of Du Wenqing did damage her reputation in the capital, but that didn't mean she had no good friends.
Bai Shu smiled and greeted them kindly.
"Ah, Sister Bai, you're finally here. It's been so long since we last met. Wan'er has missed you so much!"
Suddenly a tender voice was heard, and then a little girl like a porcelain doll rushed into Bai Shu's arms.
【Why is it like a small cannonball?】
Fortunately, Bai Shu's physique has been strengthened by the system, otherwise the recoil would really be enough to make her suffer...
[This is the current emperor's biological sister, Xiao Wan'er. It's no exaggeration to say she's Dong Ye's most noble child.]
The system hurriedly explained the situation to Bai Shu, worried that she would forget the story of the minor character.
"Haha, it's been a while since we last met. Our Wan'er has grown taller again!"
Bai Shu happily touched Wan'er's head, and then compared her height with hers.
She really likes the delicate little guy in front of her from the bottom of her heart.
After all, who can resist a little princess who looks like a porcelain doll?
"Sister Bai, come here and sit with me!"
Wan'er took Bai Shu's hand and walked directly to her seat. Her position was undoubtedly second only to the queen in honor.
In contrast, Su Yunxi, who followed Bai Shu all the way, seemed to be ignored. Those who took the initiative to greet her were all from Bai Shu's social circle.
Moreover, they all have noble status, at the very least they are the apple of the eye of a second-rank official's family, the legitimate daughter of the main wife,
Naturally, they would not take the initiative to lower themselves and greet someone of Su Yunxi's level.
Although Su Yunxi remained calm on the surface, she was actually gritting her teeth in hatred in her heart!
She entered the Prime Minister's Residence at the age of ten, and she had long believed that she and Bai Shu had the same status.
The current indifference is like a slap in the face to her!
But she didn't dare to show it at all, and could only follow Bai Shu step by step...
"Okay, I'll sit with Wan'er!"
Bai Shu did not refuse and followed her to the upper seat. The two happily discussed the interesting things that had happened recently.
"Sister Bai, Wan'er has learned a lot of characters recently! Look, Wan'er can now write one, two, three, seven... so many characters!"
Wan'er excitedly showed off her recent learning achievements to Bai Shu, her face was rosy and adorable.
"Is our Wan'er so amazing? She really impressed Sister Bai!"
[Good boy, the imbalance between arts and science is quite serious.]
In Bai Shu's mind, the system's complaints were delayed but arrived...
However, just as Bai Shu and Xiao Wan'er, two beauties, one big and one small, were chatting happily, several harsh voices came one after another.
"Look who's sitting next to Princess Wan?"
"Isn't that the famous Bai Shu? She looks so carefree, she doesn't look like a daughter of a prime minister at all."
"That's right. She's so unbridled and unrefined, and has no demeanor of a lady from a noble family. No wonder she's so eager to get married!"
"Hey, don't tell me, they've changed their strategy now. There was a big scene in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion two days ago!"
"What's the show?"
"Haven't you heard? She brazenly said she was giving up pursuing Du Wenqing!"
"Is there such a thing? Hasn't she been pursuing him all along? I heard she even took the initiative to go to the restaurant to pay for Du Wenqing, and even drank some wine..."
"No way! If that's the case, she's completely disgraced the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
"If she hadn't been born in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she wouldn't even be worthy of sitting at the same table with us and eating opposite us, haha!"
"Hey, it's my fate to be reborn. I'm just lucky..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking. It will be bad if someone hears you later."
"What's the harm in hearing it? She's allowed to do it, but we're not allowed to talk about it?"
“…”
[No way, are you talking so loudly that you think everyone else is deaf?]
[Susu, I can tolerate my uncle, but I can't tolerate my aunt! Quickly take out your Pegasus Meteor Hammer and smash their heads off!]
Not only was the system angry, Xiao Wan'er and You Lan beside Bai Shu were also almost unable to contain their anger.
"Don't you dare say that about Sister Bai!"
Wan'er stood up from her seat and pointed angrily at those people who were dressed in fancy clothes and talking nonsense.
Although she was still young and didn't understand many of the words, she was smart and knew that these people must be saying bad things about Sister Bai!
At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind: she was a princess, she was powerful! She could protect the one she loved!
"Wan'er, be good. Sit here and Sister Bai will take care of something."
Just as Wan'er was thinking about how to punish these people, Bai Shu stood up and stopped her. After calming her down, she walked straight towards those people.
joke!
She came to this world prepared to lie low and do nothing, but that doesn't mean she will let others manipulate her!
If she lets them leave the palace unscathed after making such a fuss today, wouldn't her previous mission as the big devil be in vain?
Although she doesn't have the Pegasus Meteor Hammer now, she has a sharp tongue and a sharp heart!
Fighting and killing is so boring, the best strategy is to fight without bloodshed!
"If I remember correctly, you are the daughter of a concubine of Mr. Li, the head of the Ministry of Revenue?"
Bai Shu's face was cold and she glanced at the people who were talking in low voices. She first locked onto the most arrogant one.
She was just a concubine's daughter of a fifth-rank official, yet she dared to act so rudely in front of her. Was she so bold as to be so bold?
Sure enough, when the concubine of the Li family heard Bai Shu point out her identity, her face instantly turned ugly.
What she cared about most was her status as a concubine and a daughter of a concubine, which was also the unbridgeable gap between her and Bai Shu.
"You're right. We really shouldn't be at the same table. After all, with your background, you're not even qualified to serve behind me on a daily basis!"
"you--"
The concubine of the Li family was so angry at Bai Shu's words that her face turned pale. Even though she had a thousand words in her heart, due to her status, she could not say a single word...
Every word Bai Shu said was heart-wrenching. Seeing that she was about to be suffocated by her, Bai Shu couldn't help but sneer. Is that her level?
I might have a chance of winning against the original body, but in front of her, I'd be showing off my skills...
