Xu Jinyi helped Qiuhua up with one hand: "Don't kneel down at every turn. You have followed me since you were a child. I know who you are, so what's wrong with giving you a dress?"
"Besides, I really don't like this dress. It's all gaudy and colorful, and it looks gaudy and vulgar on me. If you like it, I'll give it to you."
In her previous life, Qiuhua protected her until her death. This girl is honest and stubborn.
She will naturally repay those who treat her well, and will take revenge on those who treat her badly.
"Thank you, Miss. Although I won't have the chance to wear it, I will definitely keep it well." Holding the gorgeous dress, Qiuhua showed a simple and honest smile.
"What do you mean no chance? When you meet someone you like and get married, won't you have the chance to wear it?"
"If you get married, I will definitely give you a big gift." Looking at the dazed Qiuhua, Xu Jinyi smiled.
After realizing what the young lady said, Qiuhua shook her head like a rattle: "I will follow you for the rest of my life. I won't marry anyone."
"I'm not Zhou Paopi, if you meet someone you like, I'll marry you off with great fanfare."
In contrast to the laughter here, Xu Jin'er's expression was stern, with a hint of tension between her brows: "Mother, this is a palace banquet. If anything goes wrong..."
"Don't worry, Mother has already made inquiries. The Emperor will not be attending this palace banquet. The Imperial Concubine will not allow such obscene things to spread. Otherwise, it would mean that she is not doing her job well and has someone tamper with the palace banquet."
The queen died of childbirth complications that year, and the emperor did not re-enter the harem, so the head of the harem is now the Imperial Noble Consort.
That was the mother of the third prince. That was why in his previous life, after the crown prince was deposed, the third prince was able to be crowned the crown prince.
Xu Jin'er thought about what would happen next at the palace banquet and laughed from the bottom of her heart.
"I wonder how Xu Jinyi will continue to be so arrogant. Even though she looks so charming, she is still destined to be played with by men."
"But why did you really send that fine dress over, mother? The material is very rare."
"Silly, today is a palace banquet. If she doesn't dress better than you, how can it show that I, as your concubine, really treat her well?"
"Besides, I'm afraid all the ladies from wealthy families would dress like this today, so what's so special about her dress?"
Afterwards, Aunt Wang took out the moon-white dress she had carefully prepared for Xu Jiner.
The dress did not have too many decorations, but the sleeves and collar were embroidered with beautiful patterns in gold thread.
The hem of the skirt is embroidered with lifelike flowers, which is very beautiful.
"How is it? Although this dress is a bit plain, you will be so dazzling when you stand in the middle of a group of colorful people wearing it."
After changing their clothes, Aunt Wang and Xu Jin'er came to the door. Looking at the empty doorway, they frowned and said, "Cuizhu, where's the carriage?"
Aunt Wang had arranged for a carriage to wait outside the door early in the morning to avoid delaying the palace banquet, but now there was no sign of a horse outside the door.
Cuizhu knelt down tremblingly and said hesitantly, "The eldest lady has used the carriage. Ask Aunt Wang to prepare another one for the second lady."
In fact, Xu Jinyi's original words were: "She is just a concubine's daughter, how can she be worthy of being waited for by me? What qualifications does she have to ride in the same carriage with me?"
But Cuizhu didn't dare to say such words.
Aunt Wang was furious, her voice shrill: "I only prepared a carriage, and the young lady wanted it, and you didn't go to inform us, you bitch, have you been bribed by the young lady?"
The carriage was carefully decorated by Aunt Wang, thinking of letting Xu Jinyi and Xu Jiner ride in it together to attend the palace banquet today.
I didn't expect Xu Jinyi to do this. Now I don't know where to find a luxurious carriage.
"It's okay. Let someone bring out the carriage that's usually used in the mansion." Xu Jin'er said.
Cuizhu quickly got up and ran into the mansion.
"No, it's still not too late to send someone to buy a carriage." Aunt Wang wanted to go out in a hurry.
Xu Jin'er curled her lips and said, "No need. She, Xu Jinyi, wants to establish her reputation as a domineering and arrogant person who bullies her younger sisters. Why don't I help her?"
Aunt Wang clapped her hands and said, "Jin'er is very thoughtful, but I'm sorry to have wronged you."
"It's an injustice, but it's just an injustice. Only then will the Third Prince pity me more." Xu Jin'er's eyes flashed with evil ideas.
At the gate of the palace.
Xu Jin'er stared in surprise at Xu Jinyi, who was wearing a red dress, had a slender waist, beautiful makeup, and a graceful figure.
Looking at the astonishment in everyone's eyes, Xu Jin'er's back teeth were about to break, and she stared at Xu Jinyi with hatred and jealousy.
The noble ladies of each family were indeed dressed up beautifully as her mother had said. If Xu Jinyi wore the dress her mother had prepared.
If she stood in the crowd, she would definitely not be as stunning as she is now. I didn't expect that she was not wearing that skirt.
As a result, her plain moon-white dress now looked inconspicuous, even a little petty.
One is Xu Jin'er, who is pure and delicate in white clothes and has fair skin; the other is Xu Jinyi, who is like a fairy in a red dress.
In such a contrast, no one paid any attention to Xu Jiner.
Xu Jin'er was both angry and furious, but she couldn't show it at this moment.
She suppressed the expression on her face and walked towards Xu Jinyi in her usual delicate manner.
"Sister, why are you walking in such a hurry? I chased you all the way but couldn't catch up!" Xu Jinyi said aggrievedly.
When everyone saw the simple carriage behind Xu Jin'er and thought of the rumors about Xu Jinyi in the capital, their eyes suddenly became a little strange when they looked at Xu Jinyi.
"Jin'er, this is your elder sister who was driven to the village? Did she bully you? She even refused to let you use the good carriage."
In the past three years, Xu Jin'er has taken great pains to make friends with many noble ladies in the capital, so wouldn't someone come forward to speak for her at this time?
The most important thing is that Xu Jinyi was too eye-catching today. Many noble ladies who had not yet arranged marriages regarded Xu Jinyi as an imaginary enemy.
The one who is now standing up for Xu Jiner is Chen Qianqian, the favored concubine of General Chen's mansion.
"No, Qingqing, sister didn't bully me. It was my fault. I changed my clothes late, so sister came first."
Although he said this, the expression on his face was extremely aggrieved.
"Don't speak for her anymore. She's truly vicious. Three years ago, she didn't kill you, but now she's bullying you as soon as she returns. How could someone like her exist?"
Chen Qianqian said this while looking at Xu Jinyi, obviously speaking up for Xu Jiner.
Xu Jinyi raised her eyebrows slightly, stood straight, and looked directly at Chen Qianqian without fear.
Looking at the noble ladies pointing and talking, she parted her beautiful red lips and said, "A mere commoner's daughter is worthy of being waited for by me? Is she worthy of riding in the same carriage with me?"
"If this is what you call bullying, then aren't you, the legitimate daughters of each family, always bullying your concubine sisters?"
