The back garden of the Princess's Mansion was very large, with more than twenty tables set up for the banquet. Men and women sat separately, and there was a huge platform in front of them, with exquisite fruit plates, drinks, snacks, etc. placed on the table.
The eldest princess sat at the very seat, and at the first table below her sat Qing Yunyao, Princess Pingyang, and some noble ladies from better families. Qin Wan, on the contrary, was arranged at the very bottom seat, which was obviously a targeting. The eldest princess noticed this situation at a glance, glared at her daughter, and immediately asked someone to invite Qin Wan to the first VIP seat.
Qin Wan did not refuse. Her identity as Princess Yu was enough to make her the first choice.
As soon as he entered the banquet, Qin Wan glanced at all the noble ladies present, but did not see his mother. His mother was not there.
Qin Wan lowered his eyes, a hint of loss in them.
Everyone sat down, and the butler spoke, and everyone saluted the princess in unison. Then, various noble families presented gifts in an endless stream, all of which were precious treasures, and there was also a stream of rewards from the palace.
The eldest princess was graceful and elegant, with a smile on her face. It was obvious that she was in a good mood. She raised her hand and the banquet began.
They sat at the same table, and Qin Wan was sitting opposite Pingyang. Princess Pingyang could see her as soon as she raised her eyes. Qin Wan was sitting there, drinking wine leisurely, which made her feel suffocated.
The atmosphere at the first table was really weird.
"Sister Qing, I feel bad. Qin Wan is sitting at our table. I'm going to explode. Look at her arrogant look..."
Princess Pingyang lowered her voice and spoke to Qing Yunyao beside her.
Qing Yunyao raised her eyes. Wasn't she the same? She hated Qin Wan to death in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face.
"Princess, isn't there still room at our table? Why don't we go over there and invite the Qin family's daughter over? She and Princess Yu are sisters, so they should have a lot to talk about."
Qing Yunyao whispered.
As soon as the words fell, Pingyang's eyes suddenly lit up, and the depression in her body dissipated. Why didn't she think of it?
Qin Wan had seen the two of them whispering as early as when they were whispering, but he just lowered his head and pretended not to know. He laughed, but he wouldn't be able to laugh for a while.
"Go call Qin Ningyue over and tell her that the princess asked her to come and sit down."
Pingyang instructed the noble lady beside him.
After receiving Pingyang's instructions, the noble lady immediately stood up and walked towards Qin Ningyue, who was sitting at the second table.
Qin Wan raised her eyes and met Pingyang's arrogant and provocative smile, then heard her say, "Well, sister-in-law of Prince Yu, aren't you and Qin Ningyue sisters? I believe you should have a lot to talk about, so I called her over. Do you mind?"
Pingyang said with a grin.
Qin Wan glanced at her and said, "Whatever."
He is still that little fool with no IQ, who becomes the target of criticism when someone provokes him.
Fool.
Qin Ningyue was quickly invited over. She actually didn't want to come. Her relationship with the people at the first table was just a nodding acquaintance. Before, she and Qingyue were known as the "Two Moons of the Capital" and compared to each other. But Qingyue married Prince You. If she also married Feng Ling, then their status would be equal. But now...
Princess Pingyang is Qingyue's good friend, and there is also Qin Wan, who makes her feel upset when she sees him.
But Princess Pingyang asked her to come, and she couldn't disobey.
"Princess, Princess You..."
"Miss Qin, please take a seat."
Qing Yunyao said, and as she finished speaking, she opened the seat next to her and let her sit next to her.
"I had no other intention in asking you to come here. I just thought that you and Princess Yu are sisters. You two probably haven't seen each other for a long time, so you can take this opportunity to talk more."
Qing Yunyao said.
The other people at the table had subtle expressions. Some lowered their heads to eat fruit, while others drank to hide their laughter, afraid to laugh. Princess You's words were so obvious. Who didn't know what was going on with the Qin sisters? Should they talk more? What was there to say?
Qin Wan's face showed some surprise. She naturally understood the meaning of Qing Yue's words, and knew that the purpose of Qing Yue and Princess Pingyang calling her over was nothing more than to humiliate Qin Wan. Although she hated her sister now, she would naturally not make things difficult for her in such an occasion. When two sisters quarreled, it was the two of them who were embarrassed, and it was for others to reap the benefits.
Qin Ningyue smiled faintly, "Ningyue thanks Princess You. It's true that my sister and I haven't seen each other for many years. She grew up in the countryside and was only brought back in the past few months. We don't know each other very well, so there's not much to talk about."
Qin Ningyue pushed the words back lightly.
Qing Yunyao's expression froze slightly. She had long known that Qin Ningyue was a scheming person. This woman had become a laughing stock, but she still put on airs and refused to do what she said.
"Oh? Indeed, Miss Qin probably didn't expect Princess Yu's archery skills to be so impressive, right? Without more than ten years of training, it would be impossible to hit the bull's eye. Are the resources of the Qin family in the countryside really that good?"
Qing Yunyao added, these words could stir up people’s jealousy, and also carried a sense of inquiry.
Qin Ningyue blinked slightly, then spoke, "Father has always been in charge of the Qin family's affairs. As for my sister's affairs, I don't know much. My sister is here. If Princess You has any questions, you can ask my sister directly."
Qin Ningyue raised her eyes and looked at Qin Wan. She had also been shocked by the arrow before.
At a distance of more than ten meters, it hit the bull's eye. At that moment, she suddenly realized that her sister was not as timid and dull as they thought. No wonder her useless second brother came home and talked nonsense that Qin Wan was crazy. He actually beat him up, but his family just thought he was drunk again. His father locked him up in the woodshed for a month. It seems that Qin Shuo did not lie about this matter.
Qin Wan placed the wine glass he was holding on the table and glanced in the direction of Qin Ningyue. He thought to himself that the eldest daughter of the Qin family was indeed smart. At least she didn't fall for Qing Yunyao's tricks. Well... she was much smarter than Pingyang.
Of course, she could see Qin Ningyue's dislike for her, but she did not follow Qingyue's wishes to make things difficult for her and make a fool of herself.
Seeing that Qin Ningyue didn't respond at all, Qing Yunyao's face turned slightly cold. She took a sip of fruit tea to hide the coldness in her eyes. When she raised her eyes again, her expression was just right. "I wonder where Sixth Brother's wife's master came from?"
