Several people in the pavilion turned around at the same time, and saw Yun Qianmeng in a light purple dress under the golden sunlight. She had several purple jade carved tubes on her hair, and lotus earrings made of the same jade hanging in her ears. They sparkled in the sunlight, like pearls, making people unforgettable!
Yun Ruoxue didn't expect that what she just said was heard by Yun Qianmeng. Seeing that all the ladies in Huanxi Courtyard were looking at her, her heart suddenly tightened. She was about to speak, but Su Qianyue beside her spoke first!
"Su Qianyue meets Miss Yun, nice to meet you!" Su Qianyue stood in the pavilion, her light blue dress made her look as fresh and natural as a lily. Her fair and delicate skin became more crystal clear under the warm sun, making people's eyes bright!
Hearing her soft yet polite voice again, those ladies who had unmarried adult men in their families began to look at Su Qianyue secretly!
Seeing someone speaking up for Yun Ruoxue, Yun Qianmeng's gaze turned to Su Qianyue, who was bowing to him. She smiled faintly and said, "Xiangfu Qianmeng greets Miss Su. Nice to meet you!"
The two smiling eyes met slightly, and for a moment it seemed as if countless sparks were ignited. Outsiders only thought that the two young ladies were well-educated and well-mannered. However, compared to Yun Qianmeng, who had been broken off from engagement, the satisfaction of the ladies from each mansion with Su Qianyue was obviously higher. However, due to the face of the Fuguo Mansion, they did not show it too obviously!
"Everyone, please sit down! The birthday banquet will start soon, and even if you want to sit down, it will take a long time to get up!" At this time, Qu Feiqing, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion, stepped forward to smooth things over. She pulled Yun Qianmeng and walked straight to the front of several young ladies who were on good terms with her, and no longer paid attention to Yun Ruoxue, Su Qianyue and others!
"Tsk, what a character! Don't you even look at your own notoriety? You even dare to show disrespect to Sister Yue! Bah!" A round-faced lady in the pavilion stared at Yun Qianmeng's receding back and spat softly, then said to Su Qianyue in a flattering manner!
"Die'er, don't be rude! After all, she is your sister Xue's elder sister. If those people hear you talking about her like that, who knows what trouble they might cause!" Seeing someone standing up for her, Su Qianyue smiled and pulled over the little girl who had not yet reached the age of marriage, and comforted her!
Yun Ruoxue glanced at the little girl who had just spoken. Seeing that she was the daughter of the Minister of Justice, and Su Qianyue's father was the Minister of Justice, she knew why the little girl was trying to please Su Qianyue!
However, no matter how others tried to please Su Qianyue, it had nothing to do with Yun Ruoxue. At this moment, as long as she heard someone secretly cursing Yun Qianmeng, Yun Ruoxue felt relaxed in her heart. She sat down again with a smile on her face, and savored the new tea in front of her!
After Su Qianyue advised the young lady, she stopped talking and let the people around her continue to slander Yun Qianmeng in a low voice. She picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip. However, the eyes hidden behind the bowl lid shot straight at Yun Qianmeng's back, revealing a gloating smile!
"Sister Fei, where did you hide just now? We have been looking for you for a long time!" The ladies standing by the lotus pond admiring the scenery saw Qu Feiqing and Yun Qianmeng coming over, and spoke with a faint smile!
"Meng'er, come and meet Miss Qin from the family of the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate. She is my good friend!" Qu Feiqing smiled at the young lady who spoke and introduced her to Yun Qianmeng!
Yun Qianmeng looked over and saw that Miss Qin, the daughter of the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, had a righteous look on her face. She knew that this must be due to her family education and the influence of Lord Qin!
And this Lord Qin is also a famous figure in Western Chu. He has served as the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate since the time of Emperor Xi Jing. For decades, he has been diligent and honest, and has never bowed to the powerful. He is praised by the world. Even the current emperor treats and respects this Lord Censor who is nearly seventy years old very well!
Lord Qin is not only strict with himself, but his family style is also clean and upright!
Yun Xuanzhi has been the head of all officials for so many years, but he has never been promoted. This is all thanks to Lord Qin, who has impeached Yun Xuanzhi for his corrupt family traditions many times, causing Yun Xuanzhi's career to stagnate over the years, but he is powerless to do anything!
However, when Yun Qianmeng saw this Miss Qin, her smiling eyes revealed a rare clarity and righteousness, and he knew that this lady must be different from others. He was very happy in his heart and was happy to make friends with such a decent person!
"Yun Qianmeng greets Miss Qin!" Yun Qianmeng knelt down and saluted Miss Qin with a kind smile in her eyes!
"I don't deserve it! Miss Yun, I hope you are well!" Miss Qin was also a rare understanding person. Seeing that Yun Qianmeng was sincere in wanting to make friends with her, and that she was introduced by her close friend, she became less guarded and bowed in response to Yun Qianmeng's gesture. The two of them bowed to each other!
Seeing that Yun Qianmeng and Qin Yian seemed to have hit it off immediately, Qu Feiqing was delighted and led Yun Qianmeng to greet the other young ladies. "This is Chen Congyan, daughter of the Minister of Rites. This is Han Yingbo, daughter of the Minister of Personnel. The last one is Guan Sirou, granddaughter of a Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy!"
Yun Qianmeng looked around and saw that these young ladies were all outstanding people, each with outstanding looks and temperament. They exuded a strong aura of nobility, showing their extraordinary backgrounds and good upbringing!
Although these young ladies previously felt that getting acquainted with the woman whose engagement had been broken off was a bit of a degradation of status, they now saw that Yun Qianmeng was beautiful and refined, with elegant manners, and her conversation was full of admirable humility. When faced with the ridicule and strange looks from the crowd, she did not glare at them, but talked and laughed freely with a faint smile on her face!
This shows that the daughter of the prime minister's family is a woman of strong character. The Prince of Chen who broke off the engagement must have lost a pearl that had been covered in dust! Thinking of this, the young ladies' impression of Yun Qianmeng was greatly improved. They all rushed to greet Yun Qianmeng, and several of them stood by the lake and chatted happily!
"I wonder what they are talking about, why are they so happy? Aren't those people afraid that Yun Qianmeng will ruin their reputation?" Xing Jindie, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, who had just cursed Yun Qianmeng, looked towards the lake with some curiosity. He saw the reflections of several young ladies on the shimmering surface of the lake. It was extremely beautiful for a moment, but it made Xing Jindie, who always thought she was beautiful, furious. Her small hands tightly grasped the teacup, and her eyes exuded endless jealousy!
Su Qianyue naturally noticed what was going on over there, and a flicker of surprise crossed her once-glowing eyes. Seeing Yun Qianmeng chatting so happily with the daughters of the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Personnel, and the Hanlin Academy scholars, Su Qianyue felt a pang of discontent. Her father was a second-rank Minister of Justice, and he usually interacted with the other six ministers. While each ministry worked independently, they also complemented each other. However, the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Personnel had never interacted much with her father, let alone had any friendships. As a result, Su Qianyue wasn't very familiar with the daughters of these two families.
But now, Yun Qianmeng, the daughter of the prime minister whose engagement was broken off, started fighting with the two young ladies when they first met. How could Su Qianyue swallow this?
"Ruoxue, you are Miss Yun's biological sister, how can you just sit here? Why don't we go and have a chat with some of the young ladies and make friends with each other!" Su Qianyue couldn't sit still anymore, she put down the teacup in her hand, stood up, and spoke with a hint of indifference!
When Yun Ruoxue saw Su Qianyue stand up, she looked up and saw a glimmer of fire in her cousin's eyes. She knew that she must want to teach Yun Qianmeng a lesson. She immediately agreed happily, and she and Su Qianyue supported each other and walked down the pavilion, walking towards the lake with graceful steps!
"I don't know what the sisters are talking about that makes them so happy. Why not tell me and make your younger sister smile!" Yun Ruoxue's voice arrived before she did. Her sweet voice slowly reached the ears of everyone by the lake, interrupting the conversation of Yun Qianmeng and others. They all shut their mouths and quietly looked at Yun Ruoxue and others who were approaching them!
"Su Qianyue meets Miss Qin, Miss Chen, Miss Han, and Miss Guan. You ladies seldom go out, so we haven't met many times! But, my father works with you uncles, so we should keep in touch with each other!" Seeing that they did not welcome their arrival, Su Qianyue smiled and spoke first, leaving them no chance to refuse!
"Su Mansion? So you are the daughter of the Minister of Justice. I have heard of your name for a long time! Miss Su is also quite famous among the young ladies in Kyoto. After meeting her today, she is truly more beautiful than flowers!" Qin Yian saw that Su Qianyue had bad intentions, so he smiled lightly and spoke, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his noble eyes!
Born in a family of imperial censors, Qin Yian naturally knew about the affair between Su Qing and Yun Xuanzhi, and he did not feel sorry for the unfortunate Qu Ruoli!
At this time, the Su family dared to come over and interrupt their conversation, which made Qin Yian, who was always straightforward, immediately unhappy and spoke directly!
Su Qianyue also heard the sarcasm in Qin Yian's words, but she just smiled indifferently!
"Hey, how dare you talk like that? If you want to praise others, just act sincerely. If you look like you're dying, others will think you're going to die soon!" However, Xing Jindie couldn't stand others insulting Su Qianyue, so she walked up, pointed at Qin Yian's nose and yelled. This roar immediately attracted countless eyes!
The young ladies with Qu Feiqing had already recognized that this was the daughter of the Minister of Justice, and they also knew that Xing Jindie was a useless person. She was so embarrassed at the moment but had no idea that she was being used as a tool by Su Qianyue. For a moment, several of them smiled, but no one paid any attention to her!
After all, they didn't need to worry about a small assistant minister's gold, so as not to lower their status and avoid letting other people present who didn't know the truth think that they were abusing their power!
But Xing Jindie didn't think so. Seeing that no one paid attention to her, Xing Jindie was annoyed for a moment. She remembered that she was also a jewel in everyone's palm at home, but now she was ignored like this. She was immediately furious and burst into tears!
As a result of this commotion, all eyes turned towards them. The ladies standing by were all pointing and talking at Xing Jindie, looking quite disdainful!
Yun Ruoxue hadn't expected things to turn out like this. Yun Qianmeng and the others were already so angry they were crying without a word. She felt these people were going too far, so she said sarcastically, "Sisters, why are you bullying a child like Jindie? Big sister, you were engaged after all. Even though you were publicly broken off, you were still engaged. How can you be so rude to a child? Doesn't this show that you have no manners at all?"
Qu Feiqing and others didn't expect that Yun Ruoxue, as Yun Qianmeng's younger sister, who always bullied Yun Qianmeng at home, was so disrespectful and insulted her elder sister in such an important occasion today. Anger suddenly flashed in their eyes!
But at this moment, a pale purple figure stepped forward slowly, walked to the front of the crowd, and stood face to face with Yun Ruoxue. Yun Qianmeng had a smile in her eyes, without a trace of anger, and the curve of her mouth was perfect and impeccable. In the bright sunshine, her snow-white skin was flawless, making her as dazzling as a person walking out of a painting, and Yun Ruoxue couldn't help but stare at her in amazement!
"Sister, what you said is wrong! Xi Chu advocates respecting the elderly and loving the young, but Miss Xie spoke rudely to Miss Qin! If there is any fault, it is Miss Xie's first one! And sister, you insulted the eldest sister in public, which is the second mistake! Sister, in your words, you did not care about the dignity of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and made my father lose face, which is a third mistake! Sister, is this your fault or your sister's fault? Of course, Confucius said: If a son is not taught well, it is the fault of the father! But my father was not present at this time. Sister, you made such a misconduct. As the eldest sister, I did guide Gengxi in a bad way. After returning home, I will apologize to my father and ask for his forgiveness! But, I don’t know what my sister should do to calm my father’s anger?" Yun Qianmeng spoke slowly, word by word. The slow pace of her speech made Yun Ruoxue's face gradually turn pale, and made Su Qianyue on the side look at Yun Qianmeng with admiration. She felt more wary and hostile towards this eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion!
"Miss Xing, if you keep crying, I'm afraid that the Minister's face will be ruined by you. I wonder how long the ladies present here will talk about your behavior after the birthday banquet is over?" Seeing that Yun Qianmeng, the person involved, did not show any anger, everyone gradually calmed down. Miss Chen also laughed, and there was a hint of ridicule in her words!
Xing Jindie was dressed up today, intending to outshine all the other beauties, but after her recent cry, all the delicate makeup on her face was ruined. She immediately took out a small mirror from her sleeve and looked at herself in the mirror. She saw that her eyes were red and swollen, and her makeup was messy. She didn't even have time to say goodbye to Su Qianyue, and rushed straight to the door of Huanxiyuan to find her maid to touch up her makeup!
Su Qianyue saw Yun Qianmeng dismiss the people around her with just a few words, and her eyes suddenly darkened. With a forced smile, she slowly approached Yun Qianmeng and spoke in a sinister voice, "Ruoxue is Miss Yun's biological sister after all. Why is Miss Yun being so unreasonable? It wouldn't be good for you to embarrass her in front of others!"
Yun Qianmeng met Su Qianyue's gloomy gaze. Her eyes were unusually calm and brimming with rare wisdom. She smiled and said calmly, "Miss Su and I have no grudges against each other. Why is Miss Su pressing me so hard?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Qianyue's eyes flashed with anger, but a sneer appeared on her lips. She then walked forward, intending to pass by Yun Qianmeng!
But at this moment, for some unknown reason, Su Qianyue suddenly fell into the lake beside her. Everyone screamed in surprise, unable to react to this sudden incident. Just as Su Qianyue was about to fall into the lake, Yun Qianmeng suddenly reached out her hands to pull at the bottom of Su Qianyue's skirt...
However, Su Qianyue's movements were too fast, and Yun Qianmeng's hands only grabbed the silver belt around her waist. The belt was instantly pulled off with great force, and as her skirt fluttered, everyone heard a sound of... plop, and she fell into the water.
"Someone come quickly, go and save Miss Su!" Yun Qianmeng was the first to react and shouted to the maids who quickly gathered around. However, the maids were all illiterate and could only run to the door of Huanxiyuan in panic to call for help!
For a moment, all the ladies who usually talked about benevolence, righteousness and morality looked at Su Qianyue who was struggling in the water with a look of shock, and they actually extended a helping hand!
Instead, Qu Feiqing, Yun Qianmeng and others broke off a few branches from the flower bed nearby and stretched them into the lake, intending to pull Su Qianyue up. However, her clothes became heavy due to the water, and the branches were too thin, so they were broken in a short while. Su Qianyue was caused by the reaction force and sank to the bottom of the lake!
"Yue'er!" An anxious cry was heard, and a moon-white figure suddenly rushed into everyone's sight. In a moment, the moon-white figure jumped straight into the water and paddled hard towards the place where Su Qianyue fell into the water...
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and go down to help!" Qu Feiqing got annoyed when she saw that something happened in her own backyard and these servants were standing on the shore without moving. She pointed at the two people in the lake and shouted!
At that moment, more than a dozen sounds of people falling into the water were heard. Half a while later, people were seen carrying the unconscious Su Qianyue ashore!
The young man who jumped into the lake first to save people was soaked all over but was unaware of it. He laid Su Qianyue flat on the shore, and then pressed Su Qianyue's abdomen with both hands. However, after trying for a long time, Su Qianyue did not spit out the lake water she had inhaled. The man was so anxious that he didn't know whether it was lake water or sweat on his head, but it fell directly on Su Qianyue's face, and the force of his pressure increased a bit!
"Ugh..." A sound of vomiting water was heard, and everyone saw Su Qianyue vomiting out all the lake water in her abdominal cavity. The man also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately took the cloak handed to him by the girl and tightly wrapped it around the disheveled Su Qianyue!
"Hurry up and help Miss Su go to the guest room!" Ji Shuyu, who rushed over after hearing the accident, saw this scene and immediately asked the maids to lead the way for Su Chengyan!
Su Chengyan personally picked up Su Qianyue, glanced at the people around him coldly, and then followed the maid from the Fuguo Mansion to quickly walk towards the door of Huanxiyuan!
"What happened?" Ji Shuyu was immediately unhappy when such a thing happened at the old lady's birthday party!
Qu Feiqing glared angrily at the backs of the Su brothers and sisters, and then replied, "Mother, it was Miss Su who fell into the lake by herself!"
"No, it was Yun Qianmeng who pushed my cousin into the water!" At this time, Yun Ruoxue pointed at Yun Qianmeng and said sternly!
Everyone sighed in their hearts and looked at Yun Qianmeng with puzzled eyes. Ji Shuyu's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, "Oh no!" He was afraid that Meng'er had fallen into the trap of the Su family!
Seeing Yun Ruoxue's slanderous words, Qu Feiqing trembled with anger. Her face flushed red as she was about to refute her, but was stopped by Yun Qianmeng. Yun Qianmeng's face was full of composure, and her voice was full of pressure without anger. She pressed Yun Ruoxue beside her, "Sister, do you have any real evidence? Otherwise, I can punish you for the crime of slandering my elder sister!"
Seeing Yun Qianmeng feigning composure even when facing imminent death, Yun Ruoxue couldn't help but sneer, "You and Sister Yue were the closest at the time, and Sister Yue just happened to fall into the lake just as she passed by you. There are so many suspicious points, and you are naturally the most suspicious! In my opinion, you should stop playing dumb. You've done it, and go apologize to Sister Yue. I believe my cousin will definitely forgive you!"
These words seemed to indicate that Yun Qianmeng was the murderer!
However, Yun Qianmeng remained unhurried. She smiled calmly and said, "Let's wait until Miss Su wakes up before asking! Sister, you should rest for a while, so that you won't be too exhausted when you are punished later!"
Seeing that Yun Qianmeng looked calm and composed, and did not look like a murderer, everyone withdrew their doubts and turned to look at Yun Ruoxue who was blaming Yun Qianmeng, wondering what she was trying to do!
At this moment, a little girl suddenly ran over and whispered something in Ji Shuyu's ear. Ji Shuyu's face changed instantly, and she immediately said, "Ladies and young ladies, please move to the front yard. The Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress have suddenly arrived at the Fuguogong Mansion!"
Hearing this, everyone was immediately panicked. How could they have the energy to watch other people's jokes? They lined up according to their husbands' ranks and walked respectfully towards the front yard!
The men who were originally in the front yard had already come out of the gate of the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion, and the female relatives lined up under the leadership of several old ladies. After the men outside the door finished their greetings, the female relatives also knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor, empress dowager and queen who were welcomed in!
Today, the emperor and his companions were on an incognito tour. Seeing such a solemn occasion, they simply asked everyone to stand up. Then they walked up to Old Lady Gu and Old Lady Jiang, personally helped the two elderly people up, and said with a smile, "How are you, Grandmothers?"
Old Madam Gu and Old Madam Jiang smiled at each other. Old Madam Gu gave the opportunity to answer to Old Madam Jiang, who smiled and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. We are all well. I just didn't know that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were coming, so I'm sorry for not coming to greet you. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"
These words were said by Old Lady Jiang on behalf of Old Lady Gu. The two families had a very good relationship, and Old Lady Gu also nodded to Old Lady Jiang!
The Queen slowly stepped forward, took a pair of jade ruyi from the palace maid, and personally handed them to Old Lady Gu. She smiled and said, "This is a birthday gift prepared by the Emperor and his granddaughter-in-law for you. I hope you will be blessed with everything you wish for, and may you have a happy birthday every year!"
The old lady looked at the heavy jade ruyi in her hand and was about to kneel down in worship, but was supported by the emperor and empress. The empress dowager stepped forward and said with a smile, "Mother, this is a gift from your children! Today is your sixtieth birthday, and we are going on tour to attend this family banquet. Please don't be too reserved, mother!"
Hearing what the Queen Mother said, Old Lady Gu was terrified and immediately led the three distinguished people and several cabinet ministers to her Ruilin Courtyard. However, the foreign ministers, their sons and their wives stayed in the front yard because of their large number!
As soon as these three people left, the atmosphere in the field became a little more lively!
Those young men from wealthy families who had long wanted to sneak into Huanxi Courtyard were delighted to finally see the daughters of the rich families hiding in the boudoirs. They looked at the appearance and figures of the girls with a slightly frivolous look, causing the girls to whisper to each other in groups!
However, although the women hated the frivolous looks of men, they were also secretly glancing at the men in the field, looking for their ideal husband among them!
Among them, Prince Chen and Prime Minister Chu who came with Emperor Yugan were the best in every way. However, the two of them followed Emperor Yugan into the inner courtyard, which gave all the young ladies a chance to feast their eyes!
Prince Chen was cold and strict, while Prime Minister Chu was elegant and handsome. They both had the same tall figures and noble temperament and status. They immediately became the focus of discussion and peeking among the women in the room. Even Qu Feiqing and other young ladies couldn't help but look at them a few more times!
There was another person in the scene who attracted attention but also made people stay away, and that was Rong Yunhe!
With his white hair, he stood out from the crowd, and beside him was no one else except the servant Si'er. Even the noble men did not dare to get too close to him, let alone the wealthy people in the room!
Rong Yunhe, however, seemed to have long been accustomed to all of this and did not feel anything was wrong. He just sat quietly aside with a calm gaze, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking at the moment! However, there was another person in the scene who made the women very concerned, and that was Princess Hai Tian who came with the emperor and others!
As soon as this princess stepped into the middle of the field, all the women in the field paled in comparison, making her look even more stunningly beautiful. If Hai Tian's expression had not been too serious, those playboys would have rushed over to fight her!
At this moment, Hai Tian's eyes were obviously looking for someone. When she saw Yun Qianmeng standing among the crowd of people including Qu Feiqing, her eyes flashed and she actually walked straight towards Yun Qianmeng!
The discussions in the room suddenly died down, and everyone looked at Hai Tian and Yun Qianmeng curiously, wondering what kind of sparks would be created between these two young ladies who had nothing in common. What's more, Yun Qianmeng was still suspected of pushing Su Qianyue into the water!
Yun Qianmeng calmly watched Hai Tian approaching. She was dressed in a sumptuous pale yellow palace gown, draped in a layer of golden gauze. The wide hem of her gown was embroidered with purple floral patterns. Her hair was tied in a chic, elegant bun, with a small red gem dangling from her forehead, adding just the right touch of embellishment. A hollowed-out golden hairpin adorned her head, tinkling with each gentle lotus step. Her figure was accentuated by a charming, charming look, as if she had dressed especially for someone.
Unlike Hai Tian's elaborate attire, Yun Qianmeng wore a pale purple dress with a butterfly dancing gracefully among flowers. She was draped in silver tulle, appearing both transparent and ethereal. A white brocade belt adorned her waist, adding a touch of fresh elegance.
Her eyebrows were as curvy as willows, her eyes were as clear as lake water, yet they contained a calm and resilient expression. Her nose was small and straight, her lips were naturally red, her skin was as white as snow, and she exuded an elegant aura in every gesture. Her hair was as black, shiny, and smooth as satin, slanting down. A few of her purple jade hair were delicate yet not too dignified, making her look even more refined and refined.
When the noble sons saw the two stunning women, their eyes widened. Even Prince Chen and Prime Minister Chu, who usually stayed away from women, couldn't help but look over here!
Hai Tian seemed to have sensed a glance from one of the two men, and a hint of a smile flashed across her indifferent eyes. She then stood in front of Yun Qianmeng and said with a faint smile, "Last time... Fuguitang... Thank you, Miss Yun!"
Yun Qianmeng knew she was being used by Hai Tian from the smile that flashed across her eyes. Although she felt angry, she kept a smile on her face and replied softly, "My Princess, you're too polite!"
When the men saw the two stunning beauties smiling, they were suddenly stunned and stared at their faces without blinking!
Those ladies were filled with resentment, wishing they could expose Hai Tian and Yun Qianmeng!
However, compared to the sharp-edged Hai Tian, Yun Qianmeng, whose engagement was broken off by Prince Chen, obviously received much less unfriendly looks!
After all, everyone knew that it was very difficult for a woman to marry again after her engagement was broken off by her husband, not to mention that Yun Qianmeng's engagement was broken off by the once powerful Prince Chen. I'm afraid no one from the powerful families in Kyoto would dare to propose marriage!
Therefore, although the Qianjins blamed Yun Qianmeng for stealing the limelight, they still felt some sympathy for her in their hearts!
"Hey! Miss Yun, so you are here! Do you recognize me?" At this time, a voice full of surprise sounded. Everyone looked and saw Yuan Qingzhou from the Duke of Han's Mansion standing up from the side of Prince Chen and immediately ran towards Yun Qianmeng!
Yuan Qingzhou's bold behavior immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even Rong Yunhe, who was like an old monk in meditation just now, couldn't help but look over here, but he turned away after just one glance!
At this moment, a hint of anger flashed across Prince Chen's frosty eyes. He instantly grabbed Yuan Qingzhou's sleeve and warned him in a low voice, "This is the Fuguo Mansion, not the Hanguo Mansion. Be careful!"
Yuan Qingzhou has been afraid of King Chen since he was a child. Putting aside King Chen's identity, even the icy aura on his body can freeze Yuan Qingzhou to death!
Sure enough, between beauty and life, Yuan Qingzhou still chose his own life, but he still stared at Yun Qianmeng with evil intentions, trying to attract Yun Qianmeng's attention with his eyes!
However, Yun Qianmeng was filled with disgust when he saw this person, so how could he even look at him?
Those who had originally wanted to watch the show saw Yun Qianmeng paying no attention to Yuan Qingzhou. Knowing Yuan Qingzhou's flirtatious nature, they knew that Yuan Qingzhou must have taken a fancy to the eldest daughter of the Xiangfu and was deliberately speaking out to attract her attention. However, the eldest daughter also knew her limits and ignored Yuan Qingzhou! Thinking of this, everyone felt even more contempt for Yuan Qingzhou, and even more pity for Yun Qianmeng, who had been favored by Yuan Qingzhou!
Hai Tian's eyes, which were hiding their brilliance, darted around Yuan Qingzhou, Prince Chen, Rong Yunhe, and Yun Qianmeng, and she said with a smile, "Miss Yun has quite a few admirers!"
Hearing this, Qu Feiqing and the others around Yun Qianmeng all looked towards Hai Tian. A hint of annoyance appeared in everyone's eyes, but Yun Qianmeng's expression remained unchanged. Her smile became even sweeter when she looked at Hai Tian. "My princess, you're joking! When it comes to grace and beauty, you're unique among all the women in Kyoto. Qianmeng's ordinary appearance can't compare to yours! Especially among the male guests present, all their admiring gazes are fixed on you, which shows how charming you are!"
Upon hearing this, Hai Tian felt no joy at all. If she could gain that man's favor, why would she have to go to the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion in person to be seen by these perverts?
What Yun Qianmeng said didn't seem to mean anything, but it seemed to carry some other deeper meaning, so Hai Tian couldn't find any fault with it for a moment. She could only stare at Yun Qianmeng with gloomy eyes, trying to find a flaw in her expression!
"Princess, you have come from afar, please come in and rest for a while!" Qu Feiqing saw that so many eyes were gathered here, and Hai Tian was the culprit, so she spoke with a smile!
Upon hearing this, Hai Tian realized that she had achieved her goal, so she nodded to Qu Feiqing and whispered, "Thank you so much!"
She followed the little girl into the backyard, but when she stepped into the corner, she tilted her head a little to the right, and looked at the man with expectant eyes, but found that the man was staring at the place where she had just stood. Anger suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he turned to Yun Qianmeng's direction in an instant, with a hint of cruelty in his eyes!
Yun Qianmeng has always been sensitive. Although she knew that Chu Feiyang's eyes were on her, but then another strong and angry gaze intertwined with her, she knew that the person that Hai Tian had in mind must be Chu Feiyang. She was immediately furious. She didn't expect that she had inexplicably become a thorn in Hai Tian's eyes. For a moment, she raised her head and glared at Chu Feiyang, the culprit!
However, Chu Feiyang did not look away because of her stare. Instead, he walked towards her with an innocent look, which was completely different from the one he had just seen in Izumo Pavilion!
"Meng'er, what's wrong?" Qu Feiqing saw Yun Qianmeng's eyes suddenly flashed with ferocity, and she was a little worried for a moment, so she pulled Yun Qianmeng over and asked!
Yun Qianmeng saw how worried she was about him, but for a moment she couldn't explain the flash of emotion between them. She could only smile and say, "It's okay! Thank you cousin for speaking up for Meng'er!"
Qu Feiqing immediately understood what Yun Qianmeng was referring to, Su Qianyue falling into the water. She shyly dropped her hand and blushed, saying, "We are family. If I don't speak up for you, am I going to side with Su Qianyue, who has ill intentions? Besides, I trust you!"
Hearing this, Yun Qianmeng's lowered eyes flashed with cold light!
Yes, it was indeed she who pushed Su Qianyue into the water just now!
However, all of this was Su Qianyue's own fault! If she hadn't tried to rip off her belt when she passed by, wanting to embarrass herself in front of others, she would never have pushed her into the water. She would have given her a taste of her own medicine and ripped off Su Qianyue's belt as well!
I'm afraid that Miss Su has now come to her senses and is crying and making a fuss about her own immoral behavior!
However, I made an unhappy comment on my grandmother's birthday banquet. This is really my fault. I just hope that the old lady can enjoy her meal later, which can make up for the guilt in my heart!
Meanwhile, Yuan Qingzhou looked at Yun Qianmeng who was in front of him but could not touch her. He felt extremely itchy in his heart, so he spoke to King Chen in a gentle voice: "Cousin, don't you go in and see grandma? She misses you very much!" While speaking, his eyes drifted towards Yun Qianmeng's back!
How could Prince Chen not understand his little thoughts? If Yuan Qingzhou wanted to pursue Yun Qianmeng, that was fine. However, Yun Qianmeng was the woman he, Prince Chen, didn't want. How could he watch such a woman step into the gate of the Yuan family!
What's more, seeing Yun Qianmeng speaking generously and behaving gracefully, without any sign of cowardice, he was completely different from the person who tried to commit suicide in the hall. This immediately aroused Prince Chen's curiosity. He wondered if Yun Qianmeng was deliberately disguising herself like this in order to make him cancel the engagement, or if there was some other hidden story?
For a moment, Prince Chen actually developed a strong curiosity about Yun Qianmeng, and he didn't want other men to get close to the woman who originally belonged to him!
At this moment, a beautiful middle-aged woman rushed out from the inner courtyard and ran straight towards Yun Qianmeng. Her raised right hand immediately made people know what would happen next!
A cold light suddenly flashed in Chu Feiyang and King Chen's eyes. They both moved at the same time, one standing in front of the beautiful middle-aged woman, and the other standing in front of Yun Qianmeng!
Rong Yunhe, who was standing at the side, was quite far away and only had time to stand up...
"Can't you see this is the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion? How can you act so unruly here?" Prince Chen said coldly, scaring the beautiful middle-aged woman so much that she trembled violently and immediately knelt on the ground!
Chu Feiyang looked at Prince Chen, who wanted to be a hero and save the beauty, with interest flashing in his eyes. He said calmly, "Why are you so angry, Your Highness? Why not listen to her words?"
When the beautiful middle-aged woman saw Chu Feiyang speaking for her, she immediately raised her head and said, "Your Highness, Prime Minister Chu, this Prime Minister's daughter has gone too far. She pushed my daughter into the lake and made her lose her composure in front of others! I was so angry that I lost my composure!"
Yuan Qingzhou, who was standing by, had already jumped up and angrily asked, "Who the hell is your daughter? Is she worthy of Miss Yun's attack?"
When Prince Chen saw that Yuan Qingzhou was actually saying some foolish things, he immediately cast a fierce look at him, which frightened Yuan Qingzhou so much that he immediately became obedient and stood obediently beside him without saying a word!
Chu Feiyang looked at Yun Qianmeng and asked with a faint smile, "I wonder if Miss Yun has any explanation?"
Yun Qianmeng raised her eyes and looked at Chu Feiyang, only to find that this man was too mysterious and unpredictable. Just now he seemed to be speaking for Madam Su, but now he seemed to be on her side!
Seeing Yun Qianmeng staring at Chu Feiyang, Qu Feiqing was worried that Madam Su would bite back, so she tugged at Yun Qianmeng's clothes from behind and asked her to clarify the matter quickly.
