Chapter 66 The noble lady mocked her, and the Jiang family girl asked her to bow
These noble ladies in the capital, or the sons of the aristocratic families, had heard of this name as early as the day Xie Yao returned to the capital.
Many people know that Mrs. Xu, the wife of the Wenchang Marquis, is actually the daughter of the merchant Xu family.
Children born to the daughters of merchants, even if they are legitimate daughters, are unlikely to be accepted into the upper class.
But only a very few people know that the Xu family is actually rich enough to rival a country!
Even though the emperor has arranged a marriage between Xie Yao and Prince Jingbei, in many people's minds, she is still a country woman who acts wildly and cannot compare to her sister.
Countless people are waiting to see Xie Yao's fun, waiting to see when she will marry the cold and cruel Queen Jingbei and die.
But now, the main hall was silent, and everyone realized that they were wrong!
Regardless of what Miss Xie said or did, her naturally beautiful face made all the women present feel ashamed of themselves!
There are also people who, although they feel sad, still look at it in amazement.
Xie Yao was wearing a pomegranate red long skirt with wide sleeves and a straight hem today. The hem of the skirt and sleeves were embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns in gold and silver threads, and the black jade belt hook inlaid with gold outlined her neat waist.
Her hair was in a simple bun, with a single jade hairpin as clear as water holding a scarlet headband. She wore a little makeup, and her phoenix eyes were sharp and bold, cold and beautiful beyond compare.
A gust of cold wind blew into the main hall, her hairband fluttered and her clothes flew in the wind. She was more beautiful than the red plum blossoms in the yard behind her, and more passionate than the dazzling sun.
After a short period of silence, there is a long period of silence.
A thought arose in the minds of countless men: such a beauty, who is also the daughter of the Bo family and the granddaughter of the Xu family, it would be great if she was not engaged yet!
Those who had said that Xie Zhi was beautiful and Second Miss Xie must be extremely ugly wanted to slap themselves in the face.
Compared with Miss Xie Er, Xie Zhi is just the light of a firefly, how dare she compete with the bright moon.
Finally, Aunt Sun came forward, forced a smile, and introduced Xie Yao to others.
After a burst of whispers, the main hall returned to its bustle.
Xie Yao had already taken her seat, looking relaxed.
Not far away, Xie Zhi stared at her intently, almost twisting the handkerchief in his hand.
Normally, Xie Yao dressed plainly and simply, and she could still say that she and Xie Yao had their own merits. But today, seeing those stunned people, didn't she understand the gap between her and Xie Yao in the eyes of others?
Jiang Nianxi, the sister of Anping Marquis's wife, also stared at Xie Yao with hostility in her eyes.
Today, she was the most dazzling woman at the Winter Solstice Banquet. In terms of beauty, she thought she was not inferior to Xie Zhi. In terms of background, she was a daughter of the Jiang family. Her sister was the Princess of Anhe County, who married the Marquis of Anping. She might not lose to her sister in the future.
But now, Xie Yao appeared, with a beauty that could be described as a national beauty, dressed so luxuriously, and the identity of the princess-to-be of Jingbei, which was simply not comparable to her, a girl from the Jiang family!
Those young talents who were originally looking at her, now have their eyes on Xie Yao and can't take them away. Don't they know that Xie Yao is going to get married!
Aunt Sun had been busy for a long time and felt sore all over, so she was helped down by Madam Liu to rest for a while.
As she left, she whispered, "Are you ready?"
Madam Liu nodded quietly: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will personally handle it when the time comes, and it will be foolproof."
Xie Yao picked up a cup of tea and drank it slowly, allowing countless eyes to stare at her.
In the main hall, Jiang Nianxi was furious. Seeing how she drank tea, he snorted coldly, "This fine Pu'er is being drunk like a cow."
Xie Yao drank the tea in one gulp.
The other noble ladies saw that Jiang Nianxi disliked Second Miss Xie, and they also started to act sarcastic.
"Second Miss Xie, you might not know this, but this tea should be poured slowly and sipped gently, so as to maintain the demeanor of a lady from a noble family."
"Look at Miss Jiang San, every move she makes is dignified and elegant, worthy of being the granddaughter of Prime Minister Jiang."
"No matter how expensive her clothes are, they can't compare to Miss Jiang's elegance and refinement."
Jiang Nianxi stared at Xie Yao's hands again. Although they were white, the joints were distinct and they were also very rough.
She suddenly found her strong point: "What kind of hand is this? It's so rough and rough."
Xie Zhi said softly, "Sister Nianxi, you don't know this. My second sister grew up in the Northern Frontier Army. She's been working hard, so of course her hands aren't as delicate as yours."
Xie Yao's eyes flashed.
Under Xie Zhi's tingling gaze, she slowly opened her mouth and asked the familiar question: "Big sister, do you look down on our Northern Border Army? Do you look down on the Princess's Strong Women's Battalion? And you look down on the Princess?"
Xie Zhi's mouth twitched, and she whispered softly: "Second sister, why are you saying this again? I'm just explaining it for you."
She forced a smile and tried to persuade Jiang Nianxi: "Sister Nianxi, Second Sister didn't mean to refuse to greet you. She has been in the border for a long time and has a straightforward personality. She doesn't know the rules of the capital. I hope you can bear with her."
After her reminder, Jiang Nianxi realized that when the other sisters saw her, they all called her "Miss Jiang San", but Xie Yao was arrogant and did not move even when she walked right in front of her.
Jiang Nianxi crossed her arms, her eyes scornful. "Why is Sister Zhi speaking for her? This country girl, if she isn't the daughter of Earl Wenchang, doesn't deserve to be here."
Seeing that Xie Yao was still silent, she said in a sharp tone: "Why, when you see me, you don't stand up and greet me?"
Xie Yao raised her eyes: "Miss Jiang is a princess?"
"No, so what!"
"So, do you hold a military position or an official position?"
"Nothing, my father is the Minister of Revenue, my grandfather is the Prime Minister, my sister is the Princess of the County, and the current wife of the Marquis of Anping——"
Xie Yao chuckled: "What does this have to do with you?"
She questioned in a clear and sonorous voice, and for a moment, Jiang Nianxi's face turned pale.
"You! How dare you say that I'm a loser who relies on my grandfather, father, and sister!"
Jiang Nianxi had never been ridiculed like this before, and she was so angry that she picked up a teacup and threw it at him.
"Who are you calling trash?" Xie Yao tilted her head lightly, and the teacup shattered to the ground.
"You're a waste!" Jiang Nianxi yelled and picked up the teapot again.
Xie Yao chuckled.
The other ladies reacted and tried hard to hold back their laughter.
"stop!"
Jiang Nianxi looked to the side and saw that her elder sister, the wife of Marquis Anping, had approached at some point. The corner of her clothes was soaked with tea and her face was ashen.
