Wan Ge glanced at the other person: "What? My sister, the daughter of a ninth-rank official, can come, but I can't?"
"Yes, my sister is the daughter of the Deputy Historian, but she is married to a merchant who reeks of money. How can she attend such a banquet?"
Wan Ge glanced over and saw that it was her cousin, who was staying at her house, who had come to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. However, she was staying at her house and had not come with her mother.
At this moment, the person next to my cousin spoke up again: "What?! I heard some time ago that Miss Xu had already married, but I never expected that Miss Xu would marry a merchant."
"No matter what, Miss Xu is the daughter of the Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices. How could she have chosen a merchant?"
Just then, a clear voice came over: "What, Miss Chu, do you look down on merchants? I heard that Miss Chu's aunt is the daughter of a merchant. No wonder Miss Chu is unwilling to be close to her own mother. So that's why you look down on merchants."
Wan Ge looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman dressed in red. All the people who had been speaking fell silent and immediately bowed to the woman in red, saying, "Greetings, Princess Consort."
Princess Consort? There seems to be only one Prince in the capital.
A group of women in red blocked Wan Ge's way and said, "Since Miss Xu was able to come in, it means she was invited. Why are you questioning who the Crown Princess invited?"
"This humble woman dares not!" Miss Chu, who had been talking about the painting, immediately dared not say more, adopting a humble and subservient posture.
The Princess Consort snorted coldly and turned around. All eyes had been on Wan Ge, but when she inadvertently glanced at the man behind Wan Ge, she froze for a moment: "How come you…?"
You look so much like my husband!
When the Princess Consort saw Feng Ji, she was somewhat stunned, as he bore a striking resemblance to her husband.
"Could it be you?!"
Feng Ji and Wan Ge bowed together, saying, "Greetings, sister-in-law."
Princess Consort Guo Chenxi immediately grasped Wan Ge's hand: "So you're my sister-in-law! You're even more beautiful than I imagined!"
On the way back, I heard that my sister-in-law was a lady from a prominent family, a delicate and beautiful woman who looked like a flower that had been pampered.
"Sister-in-law, you flatter me." Wan Ge gave her a sweet smile.
Guo Chenxi felt her heart start racing instantly.
Feng Ji seemed to sense something and immediately stepped in front of his wife. Looking at his sister-in-law, he asked with some confusion, "Why did you come alone, sister-in-law? Why didn't you come with me, brother?"
Guo Chenxi sighed and then replied, "Father has something to discuss with him and will come back later. I thought I might be able to see my sister-in-law first, so I came."
And here we are, meeting my younger brother and sister-in-law.
After speaking, Guo Chenxi turned back to look at the young women in front of her: "Sister-in-law, were these people bullying you just now?"
Wan Ge shook her head: "No, sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm not someone who can be bullied. Besides, my husband is here, so how could anyone dare to bully me? It's just that I really don't like what they said."
“I don’t like them talking either.” Guo Chenxi particularly agreed with this point.
Wan Ge's cousin was already pale with fright: "Cousin...cousin...why would the Princess Consort call you sister-in-law?"
Guo Chenxi snorted coldly and replied, "What? You were just calling me a lowly merchant, and now you're starting to worry about other identities?"
Since you want to know, then this young lady will mercifully tell you that the lowly merchant you thought he was is actually the heir apparent of Prince Rong.
"With Father's permission, my uncle has been in business since his early years. He and my aunt have long been imperial merchants, but my uncle has always been low-key, so he usually doesn't present himself as a prince, only saying that he is a merchant. How could you believe that?"
The more Guo Chenxi spoke, the paler her cousin's face became. How could this be? She had thought that if she could successfully marry the Duke's heir, she would be able to outdo her. But now she was being told that Wan Ge was marrying a prince's heir. She felt a little dizzy.
Then, in full view of everyone, Wan Ge saw her cousin faint on the ground.
After seeing her faint, Miss Chu rushed to her side, patting her face as she said, "Wake up, don't faint. You didn't even tell me that your cousin is actually the Crown Prince's wife."
They heard that Prince Rong only had one son, so the other party would become a princess sooner or later. She actually led them to provoke someone they shouldn't have. Now she fainted on her own, so what should they do?
Guo Chenxi kindly reminded the other party: "Actually, you can also pretend to be dizzy, but whether you are dizzy or not, you will be asked to leave today."
After speaking, the other party stood up straight and said in a cold voice, "Guards, drag these people who disrespected the Crown Princess out."
Moments later, the person was dragged away.
…
After the banquet, Wan Ge heard from her maid that her parents knew about her cousin's behavior at the banquet, so they gave her several dozen taels of silver and sent her to stay at an inn.
After the incident at the banquet, my cousin and those girls' reputations plummeted, and the Duke's mansion used this as an excuse to break off the engagement with her.
After that, Wan Ge never saw her cousin again.
…
Wan Ge stayed in the capital for more than a month, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, she also went home for a few days.
That day, Wan Ge saw her husband hurriedly packing his things and asked with a puzzled look, "Husband, what happened? Why do you look so anxious?"
