A banquet was held in the palace on the Queen's birthday, and this palace banquet became the top priority for the noble ladies in the capital.
Not only can you interact with the women of major families and expand your network, you can also find a man and find a good family.
Therefore, everyone attaches great importance to it.
Upon learning that Jiang Qingyao had received the invitation and planned to bring He Siyu along, Li became quick-witted and immediately called her daughter He Linghui over.
"You, you're still not as smart as Siyu. Look at her, she knew how to act cute before your Third Aunt came in, calling her "sister" first and "sister" second. It's like they're close now."
"Nowadays, whenever something good happens, your Third Aunt always takes care of her."
Li finally understood what Madam He meant when she said that Linghui's future marriage would still depend on Jiang Qingyao.
With Jiang Qingyao's current status as the wife of Marquis Anguo, which prominent family would not invite her to their banquet?
If you don't even understand this principle, then you are really tactless and have no understanding of the ways of the world.
He Linghui said somewhat unhappy: "Then I didn't know she would become my third aunt."
In the past, Jiang Qingyao was just the eldest daughter of the Ningyuan Marquis's family. Her background was far inferior to hers. She was also a few months older than Jiang Qingyao, so Jiang Qingyao should have called her sister when she saw her.
He Linghui was not willing to lower herself to befriend Jiang Qingyao, so only the simple-minded He Siyu would be so eager to date her.
She never expected that Jiang Qingyao was replaced at the last minute and in the blink of an eye became her third aunt, senior to her.
Li said with a stern face, "You are not young anymore. If you wait any longer, you will become an old maid. You can't miss this palace banquet. Ask your third aunt to take you with her and let her take a look at you."
He Linghui thought about her own marriage and could only answer, "I know."
I have to say that Third Aunt has a very good vision, because she fell in love with her Third Uncle, Marquis of Anguo, at first sight!
He Linghui ran to Jiang Qingyao and begged her to take her with her.
Jiang Qingyao's gaze wandered over her, and He Linghui held her breath unconsciously.
"Okay." Jiang Qingyao said softly, seeming easy to talk to.
Just looking at it this way, He Linghui could hardly imagine that it was Jiang Qingyao who slapped the prince and Qin Yurong in front of everyone. She noticed that Jiang Qingyao's palms were red, which showed that she showed no mercy.
"Thank you, Third Aunt!" He Linghui said crisply and stepped back.
Jiang Qingyao didn't take this palace banquet too seriously, but she didn't expect that they would all follow her.
There was also an unexpected person who came up.
Qin Yurong timidly stood before her and said with lowered eyes, "Mother, your daughter-in-law also wants to go to the Queen's birthday banquet."
Jiang Qingyao didn't pay any attention to her immediately. She picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea slowly.
Qin Yurong pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed.
She knew that Jiang Qingyao would not give in so easily.
I used to think that my situation would be different after I became the Crown Prince's wife, but I didn't know that I was still suppressed by Jiang Qingyao!
Jiang Qingyao is the mother-in-law and she is the daughter-in-law. She doesn't dare to sit down even if Jiang Qingyao asks her to stand.
"You're pregnant now, and there are so many people at the palace banquet. If you walk around, you might accidentally bump into someone, which wouldn't be good."
She also hoped that He Huaixuan and Qin Yurong would continue to "love each other" and looked forward to the birth of their child.
Jiang Qingyao's clear voice brought Qin Yurong back to her senses from her trance.
Qin Yurong was a little surprised. She thought Jiang Qingyao would make things difficult for her, but she didn't expect her to say this.
"I will take good care of myself. I beg mother to let my daughter-in-law attend the banquet."
Jiang Qingyao was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Okay."
He used the same wording as he did to He Linghui.
After Qin Yurong happily left, Zhitao said, "Madam, why did you grant Qin Yurong's wish? She must have bad intentions. Maybe she wants to cause trouble at the palace banquet."
Chu Lu: "Could it be that hooking up with the Second Master isn't enough, and she needs to find another person to rely on?"
"The prince is really..." He was so green that he felt uneasy.
When people are in the military camp, there is a green grassland above their heads.
Jiang Qingyao laughed and said, "Qin Yurong has always been arrogant and thinks she is extraordinary. If she wants to make trouble, then let her do it. After all, it's her face that's being lost."
The four people in the mansion were going to the banquet, so naturally they had to prepare appropriate clothes and jewelry.
In the yard.
The maid came up to Qin Yurong and said, "Madam, I just saw the second young lady's maid Ling Xiang holding a Sichuan brocade skirt that was worth every penny."
How come He Siyu has Shu brocade clothes?
Qin Yurong bit her lip and said quietly, "Second Aunt is really powerful. She relies on the housekeeper to stuff good things into the second room. I don't know how much money she has made."
Tao must have wanted He Siyu to show off her style and not lose face, so she secretly embezzled money from the mansion to buy He Siyu such luxurious clothes.
"As the wife of the Crown Prince, I don't even have Shu brocade clothes. She's just a second young lady, it's too much for her to show off."
Anyway, she would not tolerate Tao doing this.
Qin Yurong immediately went to find Madam He and told her about this matter.
After a while, Mrs. Tao brought He Siyu to the hall. When Mrs. Li heard the noise, she also hurried over with He Linghui to join in the fun.
Mrs. Tao frowned and said, "Mother, I am wronged. Even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to embezzle public funds. I would be criticized for that!"
He Siyu immediately spoke up: "Mother didn't subsidize me secretly. The clothes were given to me by Third Aunt. She had some extra clothes, and they happened to be the right size for me, so she gave them to me."
Qin Yurong's expression froze instantly.
Not only her, but also Li and He Linghui were stunned.
Isn't it too generous to give away Shu brocade clothes just like that?
One inch of Shu brocade is worth as much as ten dou of gold and is rare in the imperial palace.
Jiang Qingyao is really so generous, which means she has a lot of these things and has no worries about wearing them.
But Qin Yurong, Li, Tao and others didn't even have a single one.
Li once again muttered to herself, "Comparing yourself to others will make you feel dreadful."
"Yurong, did you hear everything clearly?" Tao looked at Qin Yurong with a cold face, and her attitude was certainly very bad.
Qin Yurong felt as if her heart had sunk into an ice cellar. Her lips trembled as she spoke, "It was Rong'er who didn't get to know the truth and misunderstood for a moment. It's all Rong'er's fault."
I originally thought that by making some noise, I might be able to get a piece of Shu brocade clothing, but it turned out to be a complete misunderstanding!
It's just making people laugh at it.
Instead, it seems that she is judging others by her own mean standards.
Madam He glanced at her and said, "Don't be so reckless in the future. Please leave."
A feeling of grievance surged in my heart.
Qin Yurong's eyes were red, and as soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw Jiang Qingyao.
She saw everything that happened just now!
This is even more embarrassing.
Qin Yurong only felt a dull pain in her abdomen. She didn't even bother to call "Mother" and hurried away, biting her lip.
After this little episode, the situation in the mansion finally calmed down.
In the blink of an eye, it was the Queen's birthday. Jiang Qingyao brought two younger generations, He Linghui and He Siyu, as well as Qin Yurong, to the banquet.
