Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

I looked around and found that everyone's eyes were focused here, and my face couldn't help but blush.

"It's the Queen Mother's birthday, and it's only natural that all the civil and military officials and nobles have come to congratulate her." Jiang Xue smiled gently, and that smile was like a spring breeze blowing across her face, making people feel happy.

"Look at her charming look, as if she is afraid that others will not notice her, and her smile is so enchanting, she is really the true nature of a southern barbarian girl!"

Chen Xiner picked up a glass of bright red fruit wine and ran straight to Jiang Xue. If the wine was spilled on clothes, it would be difficult to wash off.

She pretended to trip deliberately, and as soon as her hand loosened, the wine glass flew towards Jiang Xue's skirt. Her purpose was to embarrass her in public!

"Ouch!" Lu Linyi screamed in shock as the wine glass suddenly flew towards her. She was standing on the bumpy gravel road, and she was about to fall down.

Jiang Xue wanted to help her, but it was too late.

The wine glass rolled on the ground for several times and finally stopped at the edge of Jiang Xue's skirt, instantly staining the beautiful skirt with a striking red color.

"Be careful!" A deep male voice sounded, and then a young man in gorgeous clothes stepped forward quickly, firmly hugged Lu Linyi's slender waist, and helped her stand firm.

The young man exuded a light and elegant sandalwood scent, which was very pleasant.

"Are you okay?" the boy asked with concern after helping her up.

"No...it's okay. Thank you for rescuing me, sir." Lu Linyi took a step back shyly. As a lady from a wealthy family, she always maintained her proper dignity.

She secretly looked up at the young man, and saw that he had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was extraordinarily handsome. The girl's heart could not help but beat wildly.

"Thanks to your generosity, my cousin would have been in trouble, otherwise." Jiang Xue also bowed in gratitude.

There happened to be a sharp stone under Lu Linyi's feet just now. If it weren't for this young man's timely help, her waist might have been injured.

"It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning." The young man bowed in return, said a few polite words and turned to leave without any hesitation.

"Changle, do you know who he is?" Lu Linyi stared at the young man's back, lost in thought. She didn't believe in love at first sight, but the scene just now really touched her heart.

"I don't know him." Jiang Xue shook her head, bent down and picked up the empty wine glass, and quickly locked her eyes on Chen Xiner who was gloating beside her.

Although she didn't know the boy's background, she knew very well who threw the wine glass.

A dirty skirt is a small matter, but because of the wine glass, Chen Xiner almost caused her cousin to get hurt. This account cannot be let go like this!

"Oh, what a pity for this dress, it's as beautiful as a painting." Chen Xin'er approached hypocritically and clicked her tongue, "Look at this Liuxian dress. It's rare for our Princess Changle to have a presentable outfit, but it was ruined by a glass of fruit wine. I feel so bad for her."

"Yeah, who is so clumsy that he can even throw the wine glass away?" Xiao Min was very happy when he saw Chen Xiner's behavior.

She couldn't stand Jiang Xue's brilliance and the spotlight! This glory should belong to her, Xiao Min!

A girl from outside should just stay quietly in a corner!

"You guys..." Lu Linyi couldn't stand Chen Xiner's sarcasm and Xiao Min's contempt. He was about to stand up for Jiang Xue, his cheeks still flushed from the throbbing just now.

Jiang Xue gently pulled her back.

Lu Linyi grew up in the frontier since childhood, so he had no idea about the twists and turns in the palace. If he directly fought back, he would definitely suffer a loss.

"Princess, what you said makes sense. The person who brought the wine was indeed a bit careless. He moved the wine and food before the birthday banquet even started. Isn't this disrespectful to the Queen Mother?"

Chen Xiner was stunned when she heard this. She was only thinking about making Jiang Xue look bad, but she never thought of this!

Filial piety is of utmost importance in Beiling, especially on the Queen Mother’s birthday.

The Queen Mother hasn't shown up yet, and the banquet hasn't started yet, but she's already tried it. If this gets out, being beaten with a stick wouldn't be the least of her worries!

The smug smile disappeared in an instant, and Chen Xiner anxiously tugged at Xiao Min's sleeve.

It’s true that there is more success than failure!

Xiao Min shook her hand off in annoyance, and said to Jiang Xue with a fake smile, "Maybe the servants accidentally spilled it when they were placing the wine and food. It's inevitable with so many people around.

No one is perfect, and Changle is magnanimous. She will not punish me for such a small incident."

It seems that Xiao Min has become a lot smarter recently. I wonder if it was the Queen or Concubine De who taught him this.

Now I can turn the tables on Jiang Xue.

"Oh, Princess, you are right. If this was just my clothes, I wouldn't mind. But this is a gift from a noble. If the clothes are dirty, it would be a blasphemy to the noble's kindness.

Judging from the princess's expression, she should know who did it. Why not act as a middleman and let this 'careless' man come out and apologize to my noble lady."

"I wonder who the noble person Sister Changle is talking about is?" Xiao Min sneered. She wanted to see how noble this noble person could be!

"It's me." Xiao Zhan walked out slowly from the crowd, opened his folding fan, and stood beside Jiang Xue with a smile on his face, like a solid wall.

The appearance of Xiao Zhan caught Xiao Min off guard. She didn't know much about this fourth brother. She only knew that he was a playboy and dissolute prince who was not favored by her father, the emperor, but was extremely loved by her grandmother.

Even Xiao Li and Xiao Yan didn't dare to provoke him easily, let alone Xiao Min.

For some strange reason, although the Fourth Prince was smiling, he felt a chill running down his back.

"Oh, so this skirt is a gift from the Fourth Prince." Xiao Min forced out an unnatural smile: "I knew it, Sister Changle usually dresses very plainly, and today's sudden dazzling appearance is really eye-catching."

This doesn't sound very pleasant if you think about it carefully.

It was obviously a joke that Jiang Xue didn't have many decent clothes on a daily basis, but others didn't know that all the good clothes prepared for her in the palace were moved to the Fifth Princess's mansion.

"Oh, fifth sister, although Changle cannot be as flamboyant as fifth sister, she is more elegant and makes people respect her." With these words, Xiao Zhan compared Xiao Min to a lantern that looked good but was useless.

"Fourth brother, you!" Xiao Min's face turned red with anger. He didn't expect that Xiao Zhan would protect Jiang Xue in public and make him lose face!

She was the princess of Beiling! His biological sister! He actually helped outsiders to belittle himself, how unreasonable!

"Your Highness Prince Gong, you are too kind." Jiang Xue smiled faintly. Xiao Zhan's words really did not give Xiao Min any face at all.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank the Fifth Princess. If she hadn't confiscated the clothes that the Clothing Bureau had made for Changle, I would probably have to dress like a moving lantern today."

She knew clearly who had detained her things. It seemed that the Queen Mother's warning last time was not enough. Although Concubine De did not take action herself, she sent her daughter to fight.

"You! You guys!" Xiao Min was so angry that he was humiliated by their singing in unison.

The snickering sounds around her made her feel humiliated. Even if those noble ladies tried to lower their voices, they could not escape Xiao Min's ears.
