The Queen has always been low-key, and this birthday banquet was not lavishly organized.
Qin Yurong turned sideways to look at Jiang Qingyao beside her. Her black hair was slanted with pearls and jade, her eyebrows were like blue smoke, and her face was exquisite like a painting.
The Shu brocade long skirt makes her look graceful and elegant.
It's really unpleasant to look at.
Next to Jiang Qingyao, she was just like a maid. No one at the banquet would notice her. It was painful to think about it!
The carriage arrived at the palace gate and the men and women went in one after another.
The banquet was held in the front hall. Although it was not extravagant, it was elegant everywhere and had a unique charm. It was obvious that the person who organized the banquet put a lot of thought into it.
Jiang Qingyao warned the two juniors: "Follow me closely and don't run around, so as not to offend the nobles."
He Linghui and He Siyu said in unison, "Understood."
Qin Yurong touched her nose. Fortunately, Jiang Qingyao did not use her status to lecture her. She would not listen anyway.
The prince went to the military camp to make a name for himself, and she also had to rely on herself to establish herself and make friends with more noble people with her beauty and wisdom.
As soon as she entered the banquet hall, Qin Yurong quietly walked away.
Jiang Qingyao also went with her.
"Madam Anguo, we meet again." A silver bell-like voice suddenly came from behind.
Jiang Qingyao turned around and met the innocent face of Princess Yong'an.
"Greetings, Princess Yong'an." Jiang Qingyao bowed without much sincerity.
Princess Yong'an's eyes turned and fell on her waist. She said softly, "Can you let me see your warm jade?"
"Brother Crown Prince and Brother Qin Wang are both so annoying. They've been searching for so long, and all they found are jades I don't like."
For some reason, she wanted Jiang Qingyao's.
If only it were hers.
Jiang Qingyao hesitated for a moment and handed the warm jade to her.
Princess Yong'an placed it in her palm and rubbed it carefully, "It's really beautiful."
The noble ladies around couldn't help but complain in their hearts that the wife of Marquis Anguo was tactless. If it were them, since the princess liked it so much, they would have given it to Princess Yongan to please her long ago.
As expected, the noble ladies who were not raised in a big family were inferior to them.
"Oh." Princess Yong'an's hand trembled, and the warm jade in her palm slipped.
Just as it was about to fall to the ground, Jiang Qingyao caught it.
She reacted really quickly.
The warm jade was almost broken into pieces.
Jiang Qingyao wiped Nuanyu with the handkerchief and tied it around her waist again.
Princess Yong'an's expression changed, and her lips moved. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. My hand just shook. You won't blame me, will you?"
Jiang Qingyao said sincerely, "The princess's hands are as delicate as a child's. It's obvious that she can't take care of herself. How can I bear to blame her?"
"Just remember that Princess, please don't touch other people's precious things casually in the future, lest you knock or break them."
“…”
After these words were spoken, the atmosphere became tense and everyone was shocked.
How dare she talk to Princess Yong'an like this?
What do you mean by "hands like a baby's" and "can't take care of herself"? Isn't this a satire on how the princess is a complete waste?
Princess Yong'an was of noble status and grew up pampered. How could she have heard such ridicule?
Her mother was Concubine Yin, one of the four great concubines, and she had a brave and capable brother, Prince Qin. She was very favored in the palace and could get whatever she wanted.
She had just given Jiang Qingyao a way out. Jiang Qingyao only needed to follow the lead and say a few nice words, and the matter would be over.
Even if the warm jade is broken, so what?
She's a princess! Who dares to speak against her?
But Jiang Qingyao just dared to do it, and was so sarcastic, open and just, and confident.
Princess Yong'an's eyes flickered slightly, and anger rose in her heart. She was about to explode when she suddenly caught sight of something and suppressed her inner emotions.
"Yong'an didn't mean it. The wife of the Marquis of Anguo was really too harsh."
"Okay, this is all Yongan's fault. Yongan apologizes to you."
"What happened?" Prince Qin strode over. "Who has displeased my sister?"
Behind them, the Crown Prince and Princess Yongle also came slowly.
Everyone looked at each other.
He Linghui and He Siyu were both shocked.
Oh no, the King Qin is coming, and Third Aunt is probably in big trouble!
Different eyes fell on Jiang Qingyao, some were watching the fun, some were sympathetic, and some were gloating.
King Qin had a bad temper and was not easy to talk to, and he was famous for doting on his sister.
When she saw Prince Qin, Princess Yong'an couldn't help but have red eyes. She bit her lip and refused to say anything.
She looked so weak and helpless, which made people feel particularly sorry for her.
King Qin asked others, and when he learned what had happened, his face instantly darkened.
Princess Yong'an reached out and grabbed Prince Qin's sleeve, "Brother, don't be angry. It's Yong'an's fault. Yong'an shouldn't have been so careless as to look at other people's things."
King Qin couldn't stand hearing this kind of talk.
"What's your fault? You didn't do it on purpose."
Even if it was intentional, it's not wrong.
She is a princess, his loyal sister, so what if she wants to do something?
Of course, King Qin would never say this out loud.
He also wants to save face.
King Qin glared at Jiang Qingyao. This woman had a good appearance but didn't know the difference between respect and inferiority. He should teach her a lesson and let her know her own identity.
"The wife of the Marquis of Anguo is truly sharp-tongued. Even without using a single curse word, she's already embarrassing. I should get everyone to learn from her."
There was a murderous air in his tone that was frightening.
Jiang Qingyao burst out laughing, "Your Highness, I am so kind."
King Qin: “…” He was not praising her!
