Everyone saw a young woman in a bright red summer dress walking over, and Princess Cheng took her hand and introduced her to everyone.
Meng Qi looked at Meng Zhi. She was probably two years younger than herself, with a delicate face that hinted at the appearance of a young girl. However, with her black hair tied high in her head, adorned with pearls and jade, and heavily made up, she looked even older than herself.
Meng Zhi was not a beauty, but her above-average looks made her look very bright. Her almond-shaped eyes were slightly upturned, with a hint of coldness and arrogance. In Meng Wan's words, she had a kind of energy, the kind that made people unforgettable at first sight and would think of her from time to time.
Princess Duan looked Meng Zhi up and down, then covered her mouth with a fan and smiled, "Fifth brother's wife is really kind. On your wedding day, you asked a concubine to wear red and green."
Before Princess Cheng could say anything, Meng Qi spoke softly, "The fact that the Meng family can wear red and green proves that Fifth Sister-in-law is good at taking care of concubines, and is kind and generous. On happy occasions, they are all happy for Fifth Sister-in-law. The more festive the clothes, the more they express their wishes for Fifth Sister-in-law to be blessed with good fortune. According to Second Sister-in-law's opinion, next time it's Second Sister-in-law's birthday, we should all wear black and white." After she finished speaking, she giggled and looked at Princess Duan with her beautiful eyes.
Princess Jing suppressed her laughter and turned away, but Princess Cheng's sister-in-law and brother's wife couldn't help but chuckle.
Princess Duan's face flushed. "Princess Rui, what are you talking about? Fifth brother's wife hasn't said anything yet, but you've already started talking. If someone doesn't know, they would think you are the master."
Meng Qi turned around and faced Princess Duan. "Princess Duan, what are you saying? You know I'm not the master, right? I always thought it was just my pleasing personality that annoyed you. When did you start to dislike Fifth Sister-in-law again?"
"You, what did you say? How is there any conflict between me and my fifth brother's wife?" Princess Duan stiffened her neck.
Princess Yong'an sighed softly and stepped forward to hold Princess Duan's arm. "Second sister-in-law, what are you doing? You also said that today is a good day for the fifth sister-in-law. We do everything for the sake of happiness."
The Crown Princess also said, "Yes, I think Meng's dress is very good. By the way, your Meng family really has many beauties." These words were directed at Meng Qi.
Princess Jing also turned around and said, "That's right, not only are they all beautiful, but they all married into royal and aristocratic families. Oh my, this Huainan Marquisate is really capable."
"Oh, I forgot that my sixth brother's wife and Prince Cheng's concubine both have the surname Meng. It turns out that this is what made our Princess Rui unhappy. Haha, she deserves a beating." After Princess Duan finished speaking, she reached out her hand and pretended to touch herself on the face.
Then she pretended to salute Meng Zhi and said, "Look, your cousin is also your younger cousin. She protects you so much. You two really have a deep sisterly love."
Meng Zhi stepped forward and saluted Princess Duan. "Princess Duan, you're being too kind to me. This outfit was chosen by our princess, as she likes me to look festive. As for what Princess Rui said just now, I'm afraid it wasn't because of me. To be honest, although we all have the surname Meng, my family is only a branch of the head of the Meng family. We can't even get a single lash from the Huainan Marquisate, let alone ten lashes. Without worrying about being laughed at, before I entered the Chengwang Mansion, I didn't even know which way the gate of the Huainan Marquisate faced. But thanks to our princess's grace, after becoming a concubine, I was invited there several times, sitting at the top table, like the moon surrounded by stars. This is all because of the reputation of our prince and princess."
