Chapter 226 Hope Your Highness Will Forgive Me
You are not the crown prince of the Dayi Dynasty, so why should Miss Xie be grateful to you?
But Yue Xing only dared to think about it in his heart, and still looked respectful on the surface.
"Yes, Your Highness, I will go right away."
Qi Yue has never liked attending parties, but after all, she is Xie Wanyi's sister-in-law.
Out of respect for Xie Lao and Xie Yun, and also because of some misunderstandings with Xie Wanyi before, he must come to support the little girl.
As soon as Xie Wanyi received the news that Qi Yue would come to the birthday party, she waited at the door early today.
When the other noble ladies who were particularly close to Xie Wanyi heard the news, they curiously waited in front of the door.
This was the first time Qi Yue attended a banquet other than a palace banquet since she divorced her husband.
After having two top scorers in the imperial examinations, the Xie family once again enjoyed unparalleled glory, which made others the envy of others.
As soon as the carriage from the princess's mansion stopped, Xie Wanyi and the other noble ladies came to greet them.
"Your Highness the Princess."
The curtain was opened, and Qi Yue was helped out of the carriage by He Xiang.
She glanced at the noble ladies who were kneeling and bowing in front of the carriage, smiled, and stretched out her hand.
"No need to be polite."
Xie Wanyi looked at the slender hand stretched out to her, and her smile grew wider.
She happily put her hand on it and stood up.
Then he called out in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful!"
Qi Yue smiled and glanced at her: "Wanyi is also very beautiful today."
Along the way, the noble ladies saw how cordial the two were, and those who had an average relationship with them began to think about making friends with them, and the wives also started to have their own little thoughts when they saw this.
Xiao Yao was originally the second wife, and Xie Annian did not hold any official position, so almost all the guests at today's birthday party were the wives and daughters of officials of the third, fourth, and fifth ranks, or the wives and daughters of wealthy merchants.
Now hearing that Qi Yue was here, she was so surprised that she even straightened her back.
Sitting opposite her and deliberately bullying her was her mortal enemy since childhood, and the only wife of a second-rank official - Jiang.
Although Jiang was one year younger than Xiao Yao, she had never been as pretty as Xiao Yao since she was a child. Xiao Yao was better than her in every aspect. She finally married a second-rank official. Although she was a concubine like Xiao Yao, she was at least a legitimate official's wife, which made her feel relieved.
After listening to the maid's whisper, Xiao Yao prepared to get up and leave.
She deliberately provoked others and said, "Madam Xie is not here to entertain us wives of officials. Could it be that she wants to go and entertain those merchants?"
"It's interesting to say, this is the first time I've attended a banquet and seen so many merchants. It was thanks to you, Madam, that I was able to broaden my horizons."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other ladies around covered their lips and tried to hold back their laughter.
Everyone else called Xiao Yao "Madam Xie", but Jiang didn't get along with her. Relying on her higher status than Xiao Yao, she added a small word to the title to deliberately humiliate her.
Little Yao smiled lightly, and said without shame or anger: "Madam Cui, please be careful with your words and don't say anything reckless. If it gets to the ears of the distinguished guest and annoys him, don't blame me for not kindly reminding you."
"Distinguished guest?" Jiang laughed out loud, her voice getting louder. "I didn't know Madam Xie had the ability to invite a guest who is more distinguished than this Madam..."
"Whose wife are you? Why are you so arrogant?"
A clear female voice sounded from behind. Jiang, who was interrupted, frowned and showed anger on his face.
When Xiao Yao on the opposite side saw the person who was speaking, her face became excited.
Just as he was about to salute, Qi Yue raised his eyebrows slightly and interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
Jiang turned around and saw a tall woman in a crescent-shaped white dress standing next to Xie Wanyi. The woman had fair and translucent skin, a beautiful face, and a slender figure.
She had never met Qi Yue, and was oblivious to what was happening outside. She only cared about dealing with the little goblins in her husband's backyard, and her mind was completely focused on the disputes in the harem and squeezing out Xiao Yao.
Jiang always hated beautiful and well-built young women. When she saw Qi Yue, she mistakenly thought she was the concubine of some wealthy merchant.
The maid beside him rolled her eyes, took a half step forward, pointed at Qi Yue and cursed: "Where did you come from, you bastard? How dare you be so presumptuous? Do you know who our lady is?"
"presumptuous!"
He Xiang quickly stepped forward and wanted to slap her, but she didn't know that the maid was actually good at martial arts, and she was caught off guard and slapped in the face.
The maid's eyes flashed with venom, and she pushed He Xiang fiercely towards the haystack full of bushes: "Little bitch, you dare to attack me by surprise?"
Jiang curved her lips into a smile and looked at Qi Yue and the others with contempt.
Leng Yue flew over nimbly and took He Xiang back into his arms.
Xiao Yao wanted to speak, but was stopped by Xie Wanyi's eyes.
The mother and daughter exchanged glances and understood that Qi Yue was standing up for them.
Seeing He Xiang being beaten, Qi Yue's face turned cold.
Without her instruction, Leng Yue put He Xiang down and walked forward again.
Jiang's daughter is still at the end behind the noble lady. Because she has a bad relationship with Xie Wanyi, she was pushed to the end today.
Hearing the voice of her mother's personal maid, she thought something was wrong and squeezed into the crowd with all her might.
Leng Yue's eyes flashed and she quickly held down the maid.
Then he slapped the maid three times in a row, causing her face to become swollen and the corners of her mouth to bleed.
Finally, he turned the man around, held him down and kicked him hard, knocking him over onto Jiang.
The movement was so fast, accurate, ruthless and fierce that it took only ten breaths.
Jiang screamed and her waist was hit on the steps by the maid.
Cui Yinge squeezed in with great difficulty. Seeing her mother in such a miserable state, she rushed over, pushed the maid away, and helped the person up.
"Mother, how are you? Are you okay..."
Jiang wailed, stood up trembling, and screamed while holding her waist.
"Ouch... it hurts so much... my waist... Ge'er, go find your father quickly and tell him that some untouchables bullied us!"
Cui Yinge glanced at Qi Yue and Xie Wanyi and was so frightened that her legs went limp. She then pulled Jiang down to kneel together.
"Your humble servant Cui Yinge pays respect to Princess Yi Yang. May the Princess live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
Jiang was pulled to kneel by her and was originally very angry. When she heard the words from her mouth, she was dumbfounded.
All the anger disappeared in an instant, and all that was left was fear.
Not only did my legs feel weak, but my waist also felt weak and no longer hurt. My head was just flat on the ground and I didn't dare to lift it up.
The maidservant who was beaten black and blue was so frightened that she knelt down and rolled on her knees, not daring to move.
Cui Yinge kowtowed heavily and said, "Princess, my mother was feeling dizzy and confused today, so she offended Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will not bear grudges and forgive my mother for once."
