Before leaving, he also said that if anything happened to Qingfeng, he would never let it go.
Qingfeng was so moved that his eyes turned red after hearing this. Even he, a eunuch, couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Qingfeng quickly came to his senses and knelt down to pay his respects, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."
"Well, get up. From today on, you will be the Prince's Guardian, responsible for all matters currently in the Prince's Palace. When the Prince comes of age, you will assist him in handling state affairs."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
After the people left, Sanfu was puzzled.
"Your Majesty, I am a little confused. Why did you suddenly promote Master Qingfeng today?"
Jiang Xuanyan curled the corners of his lips, picked up the brush, and continued to write furiously. After a long while, he said lightly,
"Prince Xiao's mother, however, is too strong and easily broken."
He sighed deeply and spoke slowly.
"Although Qingfeng is Song Hanchuan's man, he is smooth and good at dealing with things, but he has his own bottom line. It would be a good thing for such a person to follow Nian'er."
"I have watched Nian'er grow up since he was young, and I truly love both Nian'er and Hua'er. I think they should be promoted."
For some reason, the look on Jiang Xuanyan's face when he said this always gave Sanfu the feeling that he was making arrangements for his affairs after his death.
I was confused, but didn't dare to ask more questions.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the day of the Qushui Liushang banquet prepared by Jiang Qingyi.
Early in the morning, Jiang Xuanyan sent someone to deliver the purple cloud fairy dress, a matching cloud brocade cloak, and a box full of hairpins and jewelry as tribute from the foreign country.
Chen Ningzhu took a look and said she understood, and asked Fuling Shaoyao to help her clean up.
When everything was almost cleaned up, Liu Zhiyi came to the door.
Today she was dressed in a low-key and luxurious style, wearing a purple gauze dress and a set of amethyst headpieces on her head. As she walked, the hairpins on her head swayed slightly.
She walked briskly with a peaceful smile on her face. From a distance, she looked like a little sun, so dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes off her and felt happy just by looking at her.
Because of her arrival, the dimly lit boudoir seemed to suddenly become much brighter.
"Zhuzhu, isn't the weather beautiful today?"
She complained in her mouth, but still had a smile on her face.
"It seems that even the heavens dislike that damn princess. Look, it was sunny yesterday, but today, as soon as her party started, the sky turned gloomy."
If Jiang Qingyi hadn't come to her again and again and posted messages, she wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to her.
Shen Ningzhu curved her lips and smiled.
"She's bored and keeps inviting us here and there. If we don't go, given her temper, she won't give up. Who knows what she'll do next. In that case, why not go to the banquet and see what happens next?"
"We can't stay here for long anyway. Let's go over and fight her for a few moves to kill her spirit, then come back."
Liu Zhiyi smiled and sighed.
"I really don't understand her. She's rich, pretty, powerful, and influential. If she didn't act like a demon, how many people in the entire Jiang Kingdom would dare to mess with her?"
"With such good conditions, he has to keep targeting us two minions. I don't know if he is taking the wrong medicine."
Shen Ningzhu smiled.
This is what the powerful people in ancient times did. Face was more important to them than anything else.
In her opinion, she, a member of the royal family, lost face in front of two lowly women, which made her feel that her authority was challenged.
If I can't get it back tenfold or a hundredfold, I will never be able to swallow this humiliation.
Because of this, after a few rounds, she and her best friend Shen Ningzhu have ended up in this life-and-death situation.
The two of them rode in the same carriage and headed towards the Princess's Mansion.
After entering the mansion, there were already many people present. The two girlfriends didn't say much and asked the maid to take them to their respective seats.
At this moment, a eunuch called out in a shrill voice, "Princess Qingyi has arrived—"
Everyone stood up and saluted.
"Greetings to Princess Qingyi, may the Princess live long and happy lives."
The two best friends followed suit and bent their knees in greeting.
Jiang Qingyi was dressed in a palace dress, which was very formal. If you didn't know her, you would think she was attending a palace banquet.
With a suitable smile on her face, she walked step by step to the center of the crowd. She did not say "excuse me" but walked forward cordially and stood opposite Shen Ningzhu.
“Miss Shen, long time no see.”
"I heard you've returned to the capital, so I thought, since we've known each other for a while, we might as well get together. The last flower viewing banquet was specially organized by me for you."
"I didn't expect you to say you were busy."
"So, this princess had no choice but to cancel the banquet. Today, you are finally willing to show up. It can be said that hard work pays off."
What a guy, he slandered her as soon as they met, and wanted to give her a warning?
A noble lady beside him sneered,
"My Lady, you are a noble and dignified woman, why do you have to lower yourself to honor her? A shameless little bitch is not even worthy of carrying your shoes."
"Exactly. Look at her alluring appearance. I can smell the pungent smell all over her body from a long distance away."
"What qualifications does this kind of stinky bug have to come to the Princess's Mansion and attend your banquet?"
"In such an occasion, she dares to come up and embarrass herself. Who gave her the courage?"
"Princess, please send her away quickly. You've forgotten that she's a notorious slut. Staying with someone like her might just bring you bad luck."
Jiang Qingyi pretended to be embarrassed.
"this……"
“Everyone may have misunderstood. Miss Shen may have just been young and ignorant before.”
"Now that we haven't seen each other for a few years, I think she might have reformed. Let's just give this princess a favor and let Miss Shen stay, right?"
Everyone immediately praised Jiang Qingyi for her kind heart, and at the same time, they started to criticize Chen Ningzhu.
Shen Ningzhu secretly raised her eyebrows, then decided not to pretend anymore and slowly straightened up.
Beside, Jiang Qingyi's maid shouted,
"How dare you! My princess hasn't spoken yet, so who allowed you to get up?"
Liu Zhiyi spoke coldly,
"The princess just said that Zhuzhu and I were invited to attend this banquet by her."
"But as soon as we met, he made me keep half-crouching and bowing, and he didn't even say 'no need to bow'. What was he doing? Was he trying to show off his power?"
Everyone present looked a little unhappy.
It's good enough to just know about this kind of thing. Who would be so kind as to just say it out loud?
Jiang Qingyi's expression was almost dignified, and she said stiffly, "Look at this princess's memory. She actually forgot this. It's this princess's fault. Everyone, please stand up."
"Thank you, Princess."
Everyone stood up.
This little episode just passed like that.
Jiang Qingyi was surrounded by maids and servants and soon sat in the seat at the head.
The host arrives and the banquet begins.
Shen Ningzhu discovered that Jiang Qingyi seemed a little restless, and her eyes occasionally glanced towards the banquet entrance, as if she was waiting for something.
The two best friends looked at each other and knew that there would be more trouble later.
Sure enough, before long, I heard a commotion behind me.
