She's obviously a scheming brat; no wonder my daughter can't outmaneuver her!
Good heavens, Lin Yuxin had no idea that someone had seen through her deep thoughts at a glance! She herself was completely unaware of this!!
"This must be Princess Pingning! She's so cute and adorable!"
The princess planned to test the waters first.
After listening to her daughter's description, she realized that she had suffered because she had hired someone to knock Lin Yuxin unconscious and sell her into a brothel, but in the end, it was her own daughter who suffered the consequences.
Shuhe insisted that Lin Yuxin was responsible for her death, and she also suspected that Lin Yuxin was involved, which is why she held this banquet today.
Firstly, he planned to probe Lin Yuxin's background to see if she had anything to do with this matter.
Secondly, Shuhe already hated her to the core. Ever since she was rescued, her mental state has been poor, and this time she wanted to give Shuhe a chance to take revenge.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. I am not as beautiful as Princess Shuhe."
When Lin Yuxin heard the princess calling her, she thought to herself that trouble was coming. Then, she had no choice but to put down the pastries in her hand, stand up, give the princess a simple bow, and then say humbly.
After all, the princess's status was much higher than hers as a county princess.
"Indeed, ugly people are often troublesome. Just by looking at you, you look like a refugee who has never eaten anything good."
Before the princess could speak, Shuhe couldn't help but sneer and start mocking Lin Yuxin.
"Princess, what are you saying? I was personally appointed a princess by the Emperor. You say I look like a refugee? Doesn't that mean the Emperor has poor judgment? Besides, the Emperor recently granted me a fiefdom. Why do you think the Emperor did that?"
Lin Yuxin didn't hold back and went straight for the kill, since they were both princesses, neither of them was inferior to the other!
And she also has real power. This fiefdom alone is enough for her to boast about.
"You bitch...don't talk nonsense!"
Shuhe was furious with Lin Yuxin. When she heard that the Emperor had actually granted Lin Yuxin a fiefdom, her jealousy was almost overflowing.
This woman caused her to lose her virginity and spent time in that awful place called a brothel, yet she still managed to get a fiefdom.
The Emperor has been bewitched by this vile woman!! He must be!
"Shuhe!"
Seeing that something was amiss, the princess quickly stopped Shuhe, fearing that she might do something unbecoming of her status.
It's still early; we don't want to ruin their plans.
Shuhe clearly understood her mother's meaning, and could only suppress her hatred and endure it.
Seeing that they were no longer in a difficult position, Lin Yuxin didn't say anything.
The princess pulled Shuhe aside to chat with the others. Lin Yuxin, seeing that the princess was ignoring her, shrugged. Finally, she didn't have to fake a smile anymore.
So she sat down again and whispered to Zhao Hanyue. Zhao Hanyue was still a little worried, after all, judging from Princess Shuhe's appearance just now, she didn't seem like she would let her off so easily.
"Mother, don't worry. They only know a few skills. I'm prepared. But instead of watching these women flattering me, I'd rather go check out the new product launch at Cuiya Tower."
Lin Yuxin calmed Zhao Hanyue's uneasy heart, and then sat there listlessly, watching her mother exchange pleasantries with the ladies, one praising her daughter, another praising her clothes and jewelry.
Lin Yuxin stretched her chin, almost yawning.
These banquets are so boring. I'd rather read some medical books or go see Uncle Jin at his Cuiya Tower.
The new product launch event for Cuiyalou was originally scheduled for today, but now she can't go. Instead, she's stuck here scheming against these women. She's starting to regret agreeing to attend the banquet.
Should we slip away early and go check out the situation at Cuiya Building?
Lin Yuxin was lost in thought and didn't notice that a maidservant was not far behind her, quietly pouring some things into the pond before leaving.
At this moment, the princess stood in the middle of the courtyard and began today's banquet.
"I invited you ladies to this banquet today because of my daughter. She got engaged to the second son of the prefect not long ago. She is a bit stubborn, so I thought it would be good for her to meet some friends she can get along with. This is also a kind of wedding banquet."
The princess smiled dignifiedly and gracefully.
Her intentions were quite clear in her words: making friends was a pretense, her real purpose was to enhance her appearance.
Some of the ladies' expressions changed slightly, but they still managed to put on smiles again, and then said to the princess with a smile:
"Hehehe, what Your Highness says is true. A person only has one chance in their life. Princess Shuhe is so talented, she is more than a match for the Prefect's son. This white jade bracelet is a dowry for my Bai Shilang family."
The white jade bracelet was of excellent quality. When the lady took it off her hand, her face clearly showed her pain, but she still handed it over, which shows that this relationship was worth maintaining.
She felt like crying. Why didn't the princess tell her earlier that she wanted to add more to her dowry? She could have prepared in advance. Now look what happened—her favorite bracelet!
Once one started, another followed. One after another, the wives began to add to their dowries. Some of them received the news in advance and prepared gifts at home beforehand.
Some had no idea, but seeing so many people adding makeup, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and take some off their clothes, just like the wife of the Vice Minister of Revenue had done earlier.
In no time, the princess acquired quite a few treasures.
Zhao Hanyue had received the news in advance, so she prepared a gift. She stood up and walked to the center, bowed to the princess, and handed over the box, saying:
"Your Highness, this is a dowry from the Lin family. I wish the Princess a long and happy life together, growing old together in harmony."
Zhao Hanyue's words and manners were impeccable. However, after Zhao Hanyue finished speaking, the princess did not respond. The nanny beside Zhao Hanyue simply held the box.
