According to Princess Yun'an, she should be spending her days at home in tears, too ashamed to face anyone.
But if she were to do that, she wouldn't be Shen Tangning.
Shen Tangning remained calm and slightly lifted her eyelids: "Your Highness is joking. How could Tangning refuse an invitation personally delivered by you?"
Everyone thought to themselves, "Isn't that right?"
Who doesn't know Princess Yun'an's virtuous character?
If Shen Tangning really offended her and didn't attend the banquet, it would probably anger her.
If you don't come, you'll offend her; if you do come, you'll be ridiculed by her. Who wouldn't say it's a miserable situation?
Noticing the subtle changes in everyone's expressions, Princess Yun'an felt resentful and her gaze towards Shen Tangning became increasingly hostile.
This girl is still so quick-witted!
The misfortune did not diminish her sharpness; instead, it made her even more pretentious, which made her even more annoying!
She raised her red lips slightly, her tone casual: "This princess is only doing this out of kindness. I thought you were bored at home and didn't have anything in common with Young Master Chi, so I invited you here to relieve your boredom."
There's no need to analyze the malice in those words; every sentence is a direct attack on Shen Tangning's heart!
If she truly disliked Chi Yan, hearing these words would probably be like a fishbone stuck in her throat.
The others secretly cursed Princess Yun'an for her lack of virtue while observing Shen Tangning's expression.
But she smiled with relief, her eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Although my husband and I do not share the same interests, our personalities complement each other perfectly. Marriages need time to adjust to each other, so life is not boring."
Many people looked on with admiration. Despite being in adversity, Miss Shen did not complain. With this mindset, she will succeed in whatever she does.
Princess Yun'an choked, then gritted her teeth in anger: "Fine, then this princess will wait and see!"
After she finished speaking, she ignored her and walked to the head of the table.
...
In the men's section next door, someone jokingly remarked, "Ziheng, it seems your ex-fiancée isn't as deeply in love with you as the rumors suggest."
Chi Jingyu snapped out of his reverie, furrowed his brow, and replied calmly to the speaker, "Third Prince, you jest. My engagement with her was arranged by our elders, so there's no question of any affection between us."
Yan Xingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, a playful smile playing on his lips: "You really don't regret it?"
Chi Jingyu frowned: "What's there to regret?"
Yan Xingzhou sighed deeply and said cryptically, "You've mistaken a pearl for a fish eye. I feel sorry for you!"
Chi Jingyu's expression changed slightly. Recalling Shen Tangning's actions, a hint of rejection flashed in his eyes: "Your Highness is joking."
Will he regret it?
No, absolutely not.
...
Princess Yun'an was always particular about pomp and circumstance, and her flower-viewing banquet was extremely extravagant.
A variety of flowers are blooming in the courtyard, including many rare and precious varieties that are rarely seen, such as Yao Huang and Wei Zi.
However, the master's intention was not to appreciate the flowers. Princess Yun'an seemed to be deliberately trying to annoy Shen Tangning, and specially called Shen Xiwei over to talk.
Shen Xiwei was flattered and overwhelmed that the usually aloof princess would speak to her.
A group of people, eager to flatter Princess Yun'an, also showered Shen Xiwei with praise, making her feel quite smug.
Sitting next to Shen Tangning, Wen Yao lowered her voice and said indignantly, "Tch, those two are really birds of a feather!"
Jiang Qingyue looked helpless: "If the princess hears what you've said, you'll be in big trouble!"
Wen Yao stuck out her tongue: "I only said that because there was no one else here."
