Chapter 270: Gossip

Sun Yijun is really lucky. In the past, she relied on her father being the Minister of the Dali Temple. No one dared to offend her, and she did whatever she wanted.

Now that her father is gone, she has Yu Yuan, the devil of the world, to support her, and no one dares to offend her.

Of course, she is not afraid of Sun Yijun, but she cares about her reputation.

Cao Muxue felt a breath of air stuck in her heart, and she was aggrieved.

Princess Rui glanced at Cao Muxue's ugly face, trembled in her heart, and forced a smile: "Everyone has their own taste, please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

Cao Muxue is the Crown Princess, the future Queen. Jiang Shu is Princess Jing, and Yu Zheng holds great power. She can't afford to offend either of these two people, so she can only smile and make peace, taking all the blame on herself.

The host has spoken, so we have to give him some face.

Cao Muxue suppressed her anger, walked down the steps with a smile, and said, "I just feel a little unwell and didn't eat much."

After a pause, Cao Muxue looked at Jiang Shu and the others and said, "Today's meal is very good. Just look at the way they eat."

Princess Rui looked at Jiang Shu and the others and forced a smile.

Jiang Shu has never been a troublemaker. Seeing that Cao Muxue didn't say anything excessive and that it was her first time to come to the Rui Palace, she didn't say anything.

Princess Rui breathed a sigh of relief, picked up her glass and invited everyone to drink.

The atmosphere at the table was subtle, and Princess Rui tried her best to mediate and maintain it, and they finished the meal without any trouble. There

was also a tea party after the meal, and Cao Muxue deliberately brought Cheng Jinchu with her to deliberately annoy Jiang Shu.

Cheng Jinchu knew that she was being used as a pawn by Cao Muxue, but she couldn't find a suitable reason to stay away.

She was out of tune with this circle, and the ladies were prejudiced against her. If she offended Cao Muxue again, she would really have no place to stand.

Facing Cao Muxue's mean behavior, Jiang Shu just thought it was clumsy and childish, and was too lazy to pay attention to it. He talked to Yu Lan and Sun Yijun and drank tea.

Cheng Jinchu held the teacup and looked at Jiang Shu secretly.

Jiang Shu wore a purple safflower long dress with silver embroidery, luxurious and exquisite. She was lightly made up, with eyebrows and eyes like a painting, and her face was bright and beautiful. Even with a bulging belly, it was difficult to hide her elegance and elegance.

Maybe because of her different status now, Jiang Shu is more dignified and generous than before, even better than the ladies present.

Sitting with Cao Muxue, Yu Lan and others, she is no less outstanding. This calmness and confidence makes her seem to be glowing.

Not only Cheng Jinchu, but all the ladies and ladies are secretly amazed.

Jiang Shu's appearance at this time is enough to prove that Yu Zheng treats her very well, which makes people envious.

"Madam Shen Hou grew up in the border and is not very familiar with the capital. Go out more often and get to know everyone. I think you are very compatible. If you have anything, just look for me." Cao Muxue started the conversation and gave Cheng Jinchu courage. If

you go out more, you can meet Jiang Shu more often and make things difficult for her.

She just didn't believe that Jiang Shu would be calm when he saw Cheng Jinchu.

"Thank you, Crown Princess." Cheng Jinchu agreed carefully.

In the future, she would indeed have to go out and socialize more often, but not to annoy Jiang Shu, but to pave the way for her two children.

After the lessons of the past two years, Cheng Jinchu understood that if she wanted to really gain a foothold in Shangjing, it was not enough to rely on herself, but she had to make friends with more people so that there would be people to help her when she encountered problems.

Just like Jiang Shu.

"Speaking of which, the one who is most familiar with Madam Shenhou here is Princess Jing." Cao Muxue said jokingly.

This sentence instantly reminded people of Jiang Shu's former identity.

Six years of being alone, the humiliation of being a co-wife, being forced to divorce...

Jiang Shu and Cheng Jinchu were indeed familiar with each other, but it was not very pleasant.

Hearing this, even a fool would understand that Cao Muxue was targeting Jiang Shu.

The situation between the DPRK and China was unclear. There were people on both sides of the scene, and they all carefully spoke to each other.

Jiang Shu put down the tea cup, looked at Cao Muxue and said with a smile: "We have only known each other for a few months, but they are not as long as my sister-in-law."

"The few months of being sisters under the same roof are more profound than meeting each other." Cao Muxue refused to give up.

Jiang Shu had already broken up with her, so there was no need for her to just tolerate it. People in the province thought she was afraid of her.

Jiang Shu glanced at Cheng Jinchu and said: "The depth of friendship between people does not depend on the length of time, but whether they have similar temperaments. Just like the emperor's sister-in-law and Mrs. Shen Hou, they have not met twice, but they feel like old friends at the first sight, and they are very compatible."

Jiang Shu took Cao Muxue's own words and made her speechless.

After a pause, Jiang Shu said, "It doesn't matter what happened in the past. In the future, the one who will be most familiar with Madam Shen will definitely be the emperor's sister-in-law."

Cao Muxue's hand holding the tea trembled slightly.

Why is Jiang Shu so sharp-tongued today?

She had met Jiang Shu several times in the past few years. In her impression, Jiang Shu was a cautious person who never argued with anyone and was difficult to detect in a crowd.

If it weren't for her stunning face and her humble background, no one would have noticed her.

Could it be that she really married King Jing and felt that she was of noble status, so arrogant that she didn't even take her seriously?

Cao Muxue thought about it and her face darkened.

There is only one reason why Jiang Shu dared to do this, that Prince Jing wanted to seize the throne!

Princess Rui saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly said: "Since we can sit together, we are all familiar with each other. I wonder if this tea tastes good? If you don't like it, you can ask the servants to change it."

Princess Rui listened to their conversation carefully and observed their expressions, fearing that they would start arguing again. When she noticed that the topic was not right, she changed the topic in time.

In front of so many people, Cao Muxue could not lose her composure, and she endured it again and again and said: "I think it's good, what do you think, Princess Jing?"

"Tea is neither good nor bad, it depends on the character." Jiang Shu said with a double meaning.

Cao Muxue gritted her teeth secretly: "Oh? What did Princess Jing taste?"

"I don't know much about tea, why don't you ask others, sister-in-law." Jiang Shu really didn't want to pay attention to her anymore.

Regardless of Yu Zheng and Yu Cheng, this verbal battle is meaningless.

Cao Muxue, on the other hand, never tires of it and seriously asks Cheng Jinchu, "What does Madam Shen think?"

Cheng Jinchu was shocked when he was suddenly called out and said, "I don't know much about tea, I just think it tastes good."

She grew up in a bitter and cold borderland, and had never seen many things. Not only tea, but many other things she did not understand. Although she had come into contact with them a little in the past two years, she still did not understand them very well.

When Cheng Jinchu said this in public, she felt embarrassed and ashamed, as if everyone was looking at her with contempt.

On the other hand, Jiang Shu looked calm and composed, not afraid of other people's eyes at all.

"You were sisters after all. You and Princess Jing are really alike." Cao Muxue joked with a smile.

It was a joke, but actually a sarcasm.

Yu Lan and Sun Yijun could not listen any more, and Sun Yijun said, "But why do I feel that the emperor's sister-in-law is not alike with Concubine Xie at all?"

"What?" Cao Muxue did not react for a moment.

Yu Lan glanced at Cao Muxue and smiled gently, "Indeed, she is not like that. Concubine Xie is gentle and sensible, and is a model of a lady."

This was a roundabout way of scolding Cao Muxue for being mean and unreasonable, and not as good as Xie Wanruo.

If it was someone else, it would be fine, but Cao Muxue was furious to say that she was not as good as Xie Wanruo.

She stared at Yu Lan coldly and was about to explode, but Jiang Shu raised his hand to cover his lips and yawned.
