Xiao Li and Marquis Anguo arrived in a hurry, and their imposing manner made people involuntarily retreat a little.

Anguohou's men pushed aside the palace servants and helped Chen Xiner up. "Dad, His Royal Highness Prince Li!" Chen Xiner immediately perked up when she saw her savior coming.

Now she's safe! With Xiao Li and An Guohou here, no one dares to touch her!

"Third brother, you are so powerful! How dare you even touch my people!"

Xiao Li glared at Xiao Yan with an unfriendly attitude.

"Second brother, if your people hadn't made the mistake first, why would I have taken action?"

Xiao Yan looked straight at him. He was not afraid of Xiao Li, but he just didn't want to get into trouble at this moment.

In fact, the two of them are equally strong, with Xiao Li being slightly better, all thanks to the military power held by Marquis Anguo!

After marrying Jiang Xue, Xiao Li's advantages will be insignificant!

"Oh! My royal brother, you are really taking a lot of trouble! Chen Xin'er is mine. If she wants to be punished, it is not your third brother's turn to give the order!"

The two men were on the verge of a fight, and the people around them were so frightened that they dared not breathe.

Xiao Zhan was leisurely, fanning himself, waiting for Jiang Xue and the others to return.

"What's going on? What happened?"

At this time, the Queen Mother entered the room with the help of Mo Yan, and saw the scene as soon as she arrived.

"Grandma!"

"See the Queen Mother!"

Everyone knelt on the ground and bowed their heads.

At this moment, Jiang Xue and the other two also returned to the party, came to Xiao Zhan's side, and bowed deeply together.

"Hurry up and get up. I saw you two brothers were at loggerheads when I walked in. What's the conflict?"

The Queen Mother looked at her two grandsons with worry in her eyes. The last thing she wanted to see was a quarrel among the princes.

"Grandma, this is what happened..."

Xiao Zhan explained the whole story in detail, without hiding anything.

"Oh, so that's what happened..."

The Queen Mother nodded and waved for Jiang Xue to come over: "Girl, come here."

Jiang Xue glanced at Xiao Zhan, then lowered her head and walked over.

"Did it hit you there?" the Queen Mother asked, gently touching the back of her hand. Although the wine glass was small, it was quite heavy. If it hit someone, it would inevitably leave bruises.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. Changle's clothes are just a little dirty. Nothing else is wrong." Jiang Xue shook her head.

"That's good." The Queen Mother smiled at her, then turned her gaze to Chen Xiner who was hiding behind Marquis Anguo.

There was no trace of remorse on the girl's face, and there was even some hostility in her eyes as she looked at Jiang Xue.

The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment and then said:

"In my opinion, this little thing is not worth mentioning. Changle, how about this? Let Miss Chen apologize to you, and then let her be your maid for three days?"

"What?" Chen Xiner screamed.

The voice was so sharp that everyone around frowned.

"Be quiet!" Marquis Anguo immediately pinched his daughter. She was yelling in front of the Queen Mother. She was really risking her life!

"The Queen Mother is wise. Changle is entirely up to the Queen Mother."

Since the Queen Mother had made the decision, Jiang Xue naturally couldn't refute it and could only accept it with her head down.

Although this punishment was not what she expected, she could still accept it.

Bowing, Jiang Xue respectfully expressed her gratitude.

"Tingchuan, Mo Ran, what do you think?"

The Queen Mother was really pleased with Jiang Xue's politeness and she liked her even better.

Then the Queen Mother shifted her gaze to the two princes standing below and asked a question.

"The grandchildren all follow the arrangements made by the Royal Grandmother."

Once the Queen Mother opens her mouth, who dares to say no?

Compared to almost getting beaten just now, being a maid for three days is a piece of cake!

"Alright, alright, it's settled. Today is my birthday, and we're all here to eat and drink. Let's not waste time, let's get started."

As these words fell, the birthday banquet officially began.

Jiang Xue sat between Xiao Gui and Lu Linyi, facing Xiao Zhan's position.

Because of the Queen Mother's punishment, Chen Xiner had to sit behind Jiang Xue with Fu Dong Xiaochun.

Her eyes were burning with anger as she stared at Jiang Xue's back, as if she could see through her with her eyes!

Jiang Xue! How dare you humiliate me like this! Just wait and see! I will never let you off easily!

The banquet was lively and everyone's blessings made the Queen Mother's face full of smiles.

Especially Jiang Xue, her sweet mouth made the empress dowager particularly happy.

"Haha, oh my, this girl is really like Congfang back then, she knows how to make me happy."

When Lu Congfang was mentioned, the atmosphere in the venue froze slightly.

This name is a sensitive word, and people in the palace usually dare not mention it, for fear of touching upon the emperor's sad memories.

In the past, the Empress Dowager was concerned about the Emperor's feelings and never mentioned it. But today, for some reason, she suddenly brought it up, leaving everyone present a little at a loss.

"It's the Queen Mother's birthday, and everyone present is thinking of ways to make her happy. Changle is just helping everyone to speak out their thoughts. To please the Queen Mother, it's not enough to just rely on Changle's words. The Queen Mother must have felt everyone's sincere blessings."

Jiang Xue sensed the awkwardness and quickly spoke up to smooth things over. Her words were both caring and comforting.

Princess Changle is really good at talking. Not only did she make the Queen Mother very happy, but she also warmed the hearts of everyone present!

"Girl, your mouth is as sweet as honey, who can not like you."

The Queen Mother smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits, and the embarrassment just now seemed to have never existed. The people below also cheered.

"Sister Changle is really smart. She saved the awkward situation with just one sentence. Jun Li, don't you think so?"

Xiao Yan's eyes lingered on Jiang Xue's face, her fair skin, her small ears, and her slender neck like snow...

A warm current rushed to his forehead and his throat became dry. The more he looked at this woman, the more obsessed he became.

"Your Highness is absolutely right. Her wisdom is indeed like the warm sun in winter." Jun Li noticed Xiao Yan's eyes and felt jealous, as if his treasure was being spied on.

Even though Jiang Xue had clearly rejected him, Jun Li still treated her as his exclusive property. In his opinion, even if he let go of something, he would never allow others to get involved! Not to mention that Jiang Xue was as dazzling as a star now, how could he let her go!

When Xiao Min heard Jun Li's praise for Jiang Xue, he felt like he had swallowed a bitter pill. Clearly, Brother Wenshui was right beside her, and she was the person closest to him, but he could not take his eyes off that annoying Jiang Xue!

She refused to accept it! That guy must disappear! She would never let that woman take away her warm brother!

She looked at Chen Xiner, who also held a grudge against Jiang Xue, and said, "Chen Xiner, you hate her too, right? Princess, I will give you a chance for revenge!"

"Grandmother, Caiwei has carefully prepared a birthday gift for you. I'm sure you will like it." Taking advantage of the time when the Queen Mother was talking to Jiang Xue, Xiao Min stood up and saluted to the Queen Mother with a smile on his face.

"You are my good granddaughter. Thank you for your concern." Upon hearing that her granddaughter had prepared gifts, the empress dowager was filled with joy and turned her eyes to Xiao Min with tenderness.
