The Xue family was busy, but as the party about to get married, Jiang Qingyao, the girl-to-be, was still leisurely.
After all, she had been married once, so she roughly understood the process. Now she just kept an eye on the business status of the shop and farm every day, drinking tea and eating snacks, like a boss who didn't have to worry about anything.
Until she received an invitation from Princess Yongjia, inviting her to a flower viewing banquet.
She was the princess whom Emperor Jinde wanted to marry to Marquis Anguo, but was rejected by Marquis Anguo.
Jiang Qingyao felt that the invitation in her hand was a little hot.
In her previous life, Princess Yongjia had a bad reputation. She was arrogant and willful, with a bad temper. Her first husband could not stand her beatings and insults, so he asked to become a monk.
The second son-in-law was more tough. He quarreled with Princess Yongjia in the street and slapped each other. Princess Yongjia divorced him.
Before Princess Yongjia had the chance to choose her third son-in-law, Jiang Qingyao died.
Anyway, this princess is not easy to mess with.
Ning: "Miss, are you going to attend the flower viewing banquet?"
Jiang Qingyao thought for a moment and said, "Yes, if I don't go, Princess Yongjia will have a reason to use this as an excuse to make a fuss. If I go, if the princess is not stupid, she will restrain herself in front of so many people."
…
"This prince wants to see your young lady." He Huaixuan couldn't hold back and came.
The first thing you see is the three big characters "Haitangju".
He couldn't help but think of the pot of weeping crabapple on the windowsill of Marquis Anguo's study. Could it be a coincidence?
In the past, my father didn’t like these delicate and fragile things, and the study was very cold and quiet, but now there is a pot of bright red weeping crabapple.
Could it be that Jiang Qingyao gave it to her father?
He Huaixuan's face tightened and his brows furrowed.
He was extremely reluctant to admit it.
The guard told him, "The young lady is not here, please come back another day."
"Where did she go?"
"Princess Yongjia's flower viewing banquet."
He Huaixuan's heart trembled slightly, thinking to himself that this was not good!
Princess Yongjia is madly in love with her father. This is not a flower-viewing banquet at all, but a Hongmen Banquet, from which Jiang Qingyao will never return.
Qingyao is in danger.
"Hurry, go to the princess's flower-viewing banquet!" He Huaixuan urged the coachman urgently, his heart sinking.
He wanted to protect her and let her see who she could rely on.
By then Jiang Qingyao will definitely be moved and change her mind, realizing how good he is and that he is better than her father.
And he also forgave her previous confusion and betrayal.
On the other side, there is a flower viewing banquet.
Seeing Jiang Qingyao's figure, Jiang Shuning looked a little unhappy.
Why is she here too?
In order to squeeze back into the circle of noble ladies, Jiang Shuning sold her jewelry and emptied her savings over the years to buy gifts to please those noble ladies. She ran around like a little follower and maid, speaking humbly and trying to make them happy.
This time, someone brought her to the princess's flower-viewing party.
"Jiang Shuning, isn't that your sister? Why don't you go up and say hello?"
Others only knew that Madam Jiang and Earl Ning Yuan were mean to Jiang Qingyao, but they were not aware of the sisterly relationship between the other young ladies and Jiang Qingyao.
Jiang Shuning bit her lip, looking aggrieved and sad: "Yes, I'm afraid my sister doesn't think highly of me now."
This sounds as if Jiang Qingyao is going to marry into the Anguo Marquis's Mansion, and once she becomes rich, she will look down on her own sister. This is too snobbish.
The other noble ladies looked unhappy and felt disgusted by this.
Seeing this, Jiang Shuning lowered her head and curled the corners of her lips.
When she saw Jiang Qingyao dressed gorgeously, she thought to herself what a fool she was. Princess Yongjia hated it most when others were prettier than her!
Jiang Qingyao is so ostentatious, isn't she afraid of getting into trouble?
"Your sister is dressed so beautifully that she might even outshine the princess." Someone said coldly.
Jiang Shuning: "My sister has always been like this. She does what she wants and doesn't care what others think."
"Besides, she's almost the wife of the Marquis of Anguo, so she has nothing to fear."
The fox takes advantage of the tiger's power to bully others and looks down on others.
The noble ladies around frowned.
Suddenly Jiang Shuning was stunned.
The Holy Martial Whip, Jiang Qingyao actually still had the Holy Martial Whip with her, and Marquis Anguo didn't even take it back?!
Who does she want to beat? Princess Yongjia?
Jiang Shuning clenched her hands, her eyes filled with unconcealable jealousy and resentment.
Here she was, groveling and fawning like a servant, while Jiang Qingyao was living so comfortably! Why?
Did the Marquis of Anguo really indulge her and not fear her recklessness? Or did he think he could protect anyone she beat?
Sensing an extremely unfriendly gaze, Jiang Qingyao saw Jiang Shuning in the crowd, but ignored her jealousy.
Finally, Princess Yongjia arrived late and everyone saluted her.
"No need to be polite."
"Wait, you can't be exempt."
Princess Yongjia only chose Jiang Qingyao.
Aren't you too impatient to attack her right away?
Jiang Qingyao froze.
"Everyone, please take a seat. Let's have some tea first and then enjoy the flowers." Princess Yongjia said with a smile.
But her smile did not reach her eyes, and her cold eyes fell on Jiang Qingyao.
Everyone returned to their seats, and only Jiang Qingyao stood in the middle. Anyone with a thin skin would probably be so ashamed that they would cry.
The maids served exquisite tea and snacks, and there were singing and dancing performances.
The sun is at its highest at noon.
If I stand here for a while, my mouth will be dry and I will be sweating profusely.
Princess Yongjia, who was sitting on the first seat, drank tea slowly and was planning to leave Jiang Qingyao alone for two hours. That would be more interesting!
Everyone else knew that the princess was deliberately picking on Jiang Qingyao, making her stand in the corner as punishment and embarrassing her.
Who told her to become the wife of Marquis Anguo? She violated the princess's taboo and could only bear it.
Jiang Shuning's mouth was almost split open with laughter. She pretended to be worried and said, "I want to go and plead with my sister, but my position is too low and my words are not influential. I can't persuade Princess Yongjia, and I'm afraid my sister won't be willing to accept my request."
She blinked away a few tears.
Others thought that this person really valued sisterhood, but it was a pity that Jiang Qingyao didn't appreciate it.
After standing for a while, Jiang Qingyao straightened up, her face as cold as ice: "Princess Yongjia, do you have something to say to me? Why not be frank and honest? Don't use these empty words and beating around the bush. It's not presentable."
"How dare you! Who do you say is not presentable?" the nanny beside the princess said angrily.
"How dare you speak to the princess like that? Who do you think you are, you lowly person?"
Everyone present was stunned and shocked.
Jiang Shuning wondered if Jiang Qingyao was crazy. How dare she disobey the princess?
Princess Yongjia's expression suddenly changed, and she snorted coldly, "Alright, then I'll tell you something. You're just the eldest daughter of a baron's family, your status is lowly, you're nothing."
"The Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion severed ties with you because you are a person of bad character and shameless. You have done something that brought shame to the family, and that is why you are disliked by the family."
"Why would someone as lowly as an ant like you marry the Marquis of Anguo?"
"This princess orders you to have some self-awareness and cancel the engagement!"
“Otherwise…” Princess Yongjia’s eyes were cold, “Don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Jiang Qingyao fell silent.
Is it her fault that the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion severed ties with her? Is the victim guilty?
She would never think that she was not worthy of the Marquis of Anguo.
Jiang Qingyao raised her head: "What if I say no?"
Princess Yongjia instantly turned stern. "How dare you contradict and disobey me? Come, slap me a hundred times!"
