Su Jinyue stood up. Su Zhiyao seized the opportunity and accidentally stepped on her cloak!
The cloak was not tied tightly to begin with, and as Su Jinyue stood up, it was pulled down.
Seeing that she succeeded, Su Zhiyao immediately turned around and looked at Jiang Caiping aggrievedly, "Mother, Chun'er accidentally bumped into Xiaotao, and tea spilled on your cloak. I was afraid that you would catch a cold, so I wanted you to take off your cloak. It's all my fault that I walked behind you."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her eyes, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.
She thought her mother would side with her and scold Su Jinyue, but seeing how embarrassing the clothes she was wearing were, she might even kick her out of the banquet!
But she lowered her head and waited for a long time, but Jiang Caiping didn't speak.
The atmosphere around also became quiet.
Su Zhiyao looked up in confusion and found that Jiang Caiping was staring blankly in the direction behind her.
She turned around and found that Su Jinyue's clothes had changed at some point!
Su Jinyue stood at the table, the sun shining obliquely on her, her pearly white brocade skirt seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light, which complemented the golden thread on her hem.
The plain clothes and the beauty made all the men and women at the table unable to take their eyes off her!
The most shocked person was Xie Qingxu who was sitting opposite the man.
The moment the cloak fell, he saw Su Jinyue like a fairy descending to earth. He stared at her straight, unable to take his eyes away.
When did she become so beautiful!
Su Jinyue's fine hair hung down between her temples and was blown up by the wind, making Xie Qingxu feel itchy!
The whispering sounds around him also reached his ears.
"Whose lady is that? She's as pretty as the girl in the painting!"
"I have never seen them before, and I don't know if they are married or not."
Someone nearby who knew the inside story said to the two of them, "Forget about it, the two of you. This is the legitimate daughter that Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion found."
"Some time ago, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was planning to marry this person with great fanfare!"
The two men were surprised. They didn't expect that the ignorant and vulgar daughter of Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion who was rumored to be so different from what was rumored!
"No wonder the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was in a hurry to ask the emperor to grant the marriage. If they acted too late, so many families would have to rush to their doorsteps!"
Listening to the people around him praising Su Jinyue, Xie Qingxu felt more and more uncomfortable!
Su Jinyue was originally his wife!
"What's so good about her, Su Jinyue!"
Xie Qingxu was so angry that she started to slander him: "Don't you know that she was broken off on the day of her wedding?"
The young masters from the nearby families looked at Xie Qingxu, and then their eyes met.
Someone taunted, "General Xie, how come we heard that it was Miss Su who broke off your engagement?"
Xie Qingxu clenched his fists and turned to look at them, "So what!"
"How?" the man continued, "On the day of the wedding, General Xie wanted to marry a second wife, hoping to enjoy the happiness of having two wives, but Miss Su broke off the engagement. Is this mean-spirited? Will she ruin her reputation?"
If he keeps arguing, he will be really petty! !
Xie Qingxu held his breath, looked in the direction of Su Jinyue, and drank silently!
Xu Jiusi was beside Xiao Duo, "Oh no, Xiao Duo, I'm afraid you, a wife who has not yet married, are going to be targeted by others."
Xiao Duo's eyes darkened and his gaze was fixed in the direction of Su Jinyue.
Unexpectedly, Su Jinyue changed her clothes and stole the show at the banquet. Su Zhiyao almost couldn't hold back her expression!
"You...when did you change your clothes?" Su Zhiyao regained her voice.
Su Jinyue looked down at her clothes, then raised her eyes to look at Su Zhiyao, "I changed them in the carriage, and the clothes were torn. Fortunately, Xiaotao helped me bring the clothes, so I didn't make a fool of myself."
Jiang Caiping's eyes fell on Su Zhiyao, and she felt a little complicated. "Zhiyao, come sit with me."
Su Zhiyao nodded in response, and hurried away, not daring to stay beside Su Jinyue.
Xiao Tao lowered her voice beside Su Jinyue, "Miss, you guessed it right. How did you know that Su Zhiyao would do something strange?"
With her personality, it would be out of her character not to cause trouble.
Su Jinyue sat down and said, "Don't worry about her."
As the banquet began, everyone fell silent.
The emperor sat on the throne with several princes, queens and virtuous concubines.
Everyone stood up and toasted.
"I wish your majesty a long life and good health!"
The emperor was full of pressure, and he just raised his hand lightly, "My dear ministers, please sit down."
"Today is a flower viewing banquet. All of you have brought your families. There is no need to be so reserved. I will drink with you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone turned to the emperor to express their gratitude.
As the singing and dancing began, the sound of people clinking glasses and drinking became louder and louder.
The emperor's gaze fell in the direction of Su Jinyue, and he said to the Concubine Xian beside him, "She said she could save Yuzhu?"
"Yes." Concubine Xian looked in Su Jinyue's direction and said indifferently, "I don't know whether it is true or not."
The queen looked in the direction of Su Jinyue and smiled gently at the emperor, "I think that child is a good one, maybe he can really cure Yuzhu."
The emperor looked at Su Jinyue again, and naturally had his own thoughts in his mind.
When Concubine Xian heard the Queen speaking for Su Jinyue, she snorted in her heart. She actually likes to do favors!
Halfway through the banquet, Su Zhiyao began to feel restless. She raised her teacup and kept looking in Su Jingnian's direction.
Su Jingnian nodded at Su Zhiyao and told her not to worry, as he had arranged everything!
Su Zhiyao only felt relieved when she saw Su Jingnian nod.
Su Jinyue noticed that something was wrong with Su Jingnian early on. Seeing that he kept exchanging glances with Su Zhiyao during the banquet, she silently put down her teacup.
"Xiao Tao."
Xiao Tao was standing on Su Jinyue's body. When she heard the young lady calling her, she quickly bent down and said, "Young lady, what's wrong?"
Su Jinyue lowered her voice and whispered something in her ear.
Xiao Tao was shocked, her lips slightly parted and she was speechless.
"Go ahead." Su Jinyue picked up the chopsticks and said lightly.
"Yes!" Xiaotao nodded and quietly left the imperial garden.
After a while, the palace maid behind Xiao Duo was replaced by someone else without anyone noticing.
The palace maid held up the wine pot and stepped forward to pour wine for Xiao Duo.
Her hands suddenly softened, and all the wine in the jug spilled onto Xiao Duo's clothes!
"General Xiao, please spare my life!" The palace maid fell to her knees with a thud, trembling with fear!
"It's okay." Xiao Duo said, "I'll go change my clothes. It's not your fault. Get up now."
"Thank you, young general!"
The maid stood up and said, "Young General, let me take you to the nearby palace to change your clothes."
