As dusk fell, the wedding candles were burning brightly, and the Yaohua Palace was brightly lit, extremely luxurious.
The scene should have been lively, but now everyone's eyes were on Jiang Shi and Zhai Zhichang, and only whispers could be heard.
"What are you doing?"
A puzzled female voice sounded. The person who came was wearing a gorgeous imperial palace dress, with hairpins and rings all over her head. She looked very noble. The people around her hurriedly made way for her.
"Meet the Fourth Princess."
Yu Tanqi quickly glanced at the fourth princess, then lowered his head. It turned out that this was the fourth princess Gao Xianyue, a girl as beautiful and proud as a peony.
Jiang Shi put his hand down and looked at Zhai Zhichang, whose expression was still as gentle as jade. "Master Zhai, how about we each take a step back?"
Zhai Zhichang was unwilling to give in, but seeing that the four princesses had arrived, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Okay, Jiang Shi, I'll remember this grudge today."
He glared at Jiang Shi fiercely and turned away.
His friends were watching the fun and kept talking in his ears.
"Have you been too weak recently? How come you can't even match the frail Jiang Shi in strength?"
"You're so young, what should you do?"
"Zhai Zhichang, would you like me to send you some tonic prescriptions?"
"Yeah, you should catch up too."
"Shut up! Come on if you dare!"
The fourth princess Gao Xianyue raised her eyebrows slightly and her eyes fell on Jiang Shi thoughtfully.
She was very familiar with Prince Jiang, Marquis of Wu'an.
She knew since she was a child that her father treated this orphan of a minister better than the Sixth Prince.
The Sixth Prince has been loved by his father since he was young, even better than the eldest prince born to the Queen and the third prince born to Concubine Wang.
If Jiang Shi didn't look nothing like his father, she would have suspected that he was his illegitimate son.
When Gao Xianyue saw Jiang, she turned around and lowered her head to speak to the girl beside her. The tenderness between her eyebrows was enough to move any woman and make her blush.
I guess she is Jiang Shi’s fiancée.
Gao Xianyue looked at Yun Shu and saw that she looked distraught. She smiled and walked towards her.
"You're so useless. You've been chasing after someone for over a decade, but you're still no match for this fiancée who's only been around for a few months."
The tone was extremely sarcastic.
Yun Shu looked at her angrily: "Go away, do you think I know you well? Don't come over and talk to me."
Gao Xianyue raised her chin and smiled contemptuously: "I came here to kindly remind you, don't end up not getting the man, and lose your position as the most beautiful woman in the capital."
Yun Shu refused to give in: "Throw it away, I don't care. Anyway, there is no way you can become the most beautiful woman in the capital, unless you change your face."
She looked Gao Xianyue up and down and said, "Tsk, if you're not good-looking, you can only use clothes and jewelry to decorate yourself. People with poor eyesight would think she was a gold spirit from a distance."
Gao Xianyue sneered: "So what if you're beautiful? Did Jiang Shi even glance at you? He only has eyes for his fiancée right now!"
The two have been at odds since childhood.
A princess of the royal family and a princess of a different royal family, both are proud little girls who would start quarreling as soon as they met.
Gao Xianyue ridiculed Yunshu for chasing men every day but making no progress. Yunshu mocked her for not being good-looking but still liking to dress up. They had hurt each other for many years and hated each other to the extreme.
Seeing that they started arguing again, the people around them didn't dare to speak, because in the past, anyone who tried to stop a fight would be the target of anger if they didn't have some status, so they didn't dare to speak easily.
Yun Shu was more aggressive today than ever before, and even directly said that Gao Xianyue was ugly and that she was the cause of all trouble. Gao Xianyue was so angry that she almost hit her.
However, just as Gao Xianyue raised her hand, a somewhat anxious and angry voice rang out.
"Gao Xianyue, what do you want to do?"
The Sixth Prince Gao Yan walked quickly to Yun Shu, reached out and grabbed Gao Xianyue's wrist, frowned and looked at her coldly.
It’s always like this, there is always someone who comes out to help Yun Shu, and this person is her sixth brother.
Even if he wasn’t the sixth brother, he would be Prince Yun Xuan, Yun Shu’s biological brother.
Gao Xianyue bit her lip, swallowed all her resentment and grievance, and smiled, "I didn't mean to do anything, Sixth Brother, you pinched me and hurt me."
Gao Yan looked at her coldly, and only let her go after making sure that she would not attack Yun Shu in front of him.
He turned and looked at Yun Shu, his expression softened. Yun Shu was still angry and didn't look at him in a good mood.
Gao Yan didn't care.
Gao Xianyue thought coldly in her heart, what's the point of you defending Yun Shu like this, she only has Jiang Shi in her heart.
And Jiang Shi...
Gao Xianyue couldn't help but look at Yu Tanqi and Jiang Shi.
The two of them had already taken their seats. Prince Jiang, who always kept his distance from women and was gentle and polite, was now using tools to cut mooncakes into small pieces for his fiancée. He lowered his head and said something, as if to coax her.
The girl puffed up her pink cheeks slightly, seeming a little unhappy, but still had a gentle and well-behaved look.
She reached out to take the small piece of mooncake that Jiang Shi had cut and ate it in small bites.
Jiang Shi looked at her with a gentle and doting expression.
The picture looks harmonious and beautiful.
Gao Xianyue felt it was even more glaring.
Her eyes were dark and unclear, then she flicked her sleeves and walked towards her seat.
The palace banquet had not yet officially begun, and the palace maids and eunuchs only served some wine, snacks and fruits for the nobles to enjoy and pass the time.
The food in the palace is all prepared by the imperial chefs in the imperial kitchen, so the taste is naturally excellent.
Yu Tanqi likes sweets. After Xu Mubai finally agreed that she could eat sweets, she couldn't wait to try the snacks made by the imperial chef. However, Jiang Shi was staring at her from the side.
"Doctor Xu said you can eat sweets now, but not too much."
The boy spoke softly and his voice was very pleasant, but his words were unpleasant.
Yu Tanqi sighed softly: "When can I eat more sweets?"
Jiang Shi said: "Once you are fully recovered, it should be possible."
"It feels like it will take a long time." Yu Tanqi glanced at his injured shoulder. It still hurt when he touched it. It felt like it would take at least three to five years to heal.
Fortunately, she was not crippled.
Jiang Shi's eyes flickered slightly, he pursed his lips, and brought her another piece of dessert, saying softly, "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, you can eat more."
Yu Tanqi instantly smiled and said sweetly, "Zi'an, you are so kind."
She quickly picked up the snack and put it into her mouth. Ah, it was so delicious.
It turns out that eating sweet things can make people happy.
The girl has curved eyebrows and clear, round eyes that sparkle with a faint light, as if reflecting the starry sky, bright and beautiful.
Jiang Shi's Adam's apple rolled, he lowered his eyes, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp, trying to relieve the dryness in his throat.
He only realized it was alcohol when the drink went down his throat, but it was too late.
Jiang Shi's heart skipped a beat and his expression changed slightly.
Few people know that Jiang Shi can’t drink much.
Not only will you get drunk after just one sip, you may even get drunk and act crazy.
Jiang Shi pursed his lips and clenched his fingers slightly.
The palace banquet hasn't started yet. Can he go back early and hide alone on the pretext of being sick?
