After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official
Chapter 54 Take the initiative to deliver it to your door
Mrs. Jiang's face darkened slightly. Li Ziheng's words were simply an insult to the Jiang family.
But Li Ziheng was used to being lawless, and no one dared to criticize him.
"Young prince, please be careful not to be disrespectful." Prince Yu said in a gentle and good-tempered voice.
Prince Yu would never take a playboy like Li Ziheng seriously, but he knew very well that Emperor Hui'an respected Princess Anguo, so he was usually humble and tolerant to Li Ziheng.
Li Ziheng chuckled, "I am used to being rude, Prince Yu, please don't bother with me.
Who made me always honest? I just can't stand for people being forced to do things against their will? "
Jiang Wanyue was being grilled by Gu Jin and Li Ziheng with their constant chatter. Although it was indeed their intention to target Gu Jin, she never thought that Gu Jin would bring the matter up directly.
Even though everyone knew the truth, if the veil was torn off she would be branded as vicious and insidious.
Jiang Wanyue was at a loss.
Mrs. Jiang just watched coldly and had no intention of helping her. In her eyes, Jiang Wanyue was a knife in her hand, and if the knife became blunt, she could just throw it away.
"Third Young Madam, this is an oversight on the part of our Jiang family. We are truly sorry." Jiang Fengqi stood up and walked to Gu Jin, bowing slowly.
"Feng Qi!" Mrs. Jiang could no longer sit still upon seeing this. Her daughter was going to be the queen in the future. Who the hell was Gu Jin to deserve Feng Qi's gift!
Jiang Fengqi looked at Gu Jin sadly, his clear eyes full of apology, "Today is my mother's birthday, and the Third Young Madam is an honored guest when she comes to the banquet. It's all our fault for not entertaining her well.
However, there is no need for the Third Young Madam to belittle herself. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and we cannot generalize them with just one statement.
If Third Young Madam doesn't mind, Feng Qi is willing to offer a toast to apologize."
Everyone in the Jiang family values Jiang Fengqi, and Mrs. Jiang loves her daughter to the core. She hopes that her daughter can sit in the highest position cleanly, and never lets her interfere in the dirty things in the backyard.
Therefore, Jiang Fengqi had no idea that today's events were planned by her mother, and she just thought that Jiang Wanyue handled the matter improperly.
Looking at Jiang Fengqi's sincere eyes, Gu Jin stood up and picked up the wine cup, "So that's how it is, I misunderstood."
Gu Jin had a good first impression of Jiang Fengqi, and more importantly, she didn't want to make things difficult for this popular candidate for queen.
Gu Jin drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Jiang Fengqi felt a little admiration for her for being so generous, frank and honest.
Since she was young, her mother taught her to be moderate in her words and actions, and to be careful in what she said and did.
After all, although the capital city looks prosperous, it is actually a battlefield for power struggles. One can end up in pieces if one is not careful. It is rare to see someone as impulsive as Gu Jin.
Seeing that Jiang Fengqi easily resolved a conflict, Prince Yu was more satisfied with her. She was flexible and able to handle things in a relaxed manner. It would definitely be of great help to him if he married Fengqi's cousin as his princess.
Jiang Wanyue saw the smile in Prince Yu's eyes. She pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, pinching the corner of her clothes with her fingers.
"Mother, I have asked a troupe in South City to put together a play called "Phoenix and Dragon Bringing Good Fortune" to celebrate your birthday. Please take a look at it." After such a farce, it was inappropriate to let the girls show their talents, so Jiang Qing ordered the servant to bring the troupe up.
Ma was very upset. Miaorong's piano skills were not inferior to Jiang Fengqi's. This could have attracted the attention of Prince Yu and others, but this good opportunity was ruined by that idiot Gu Jin!
Gu Rou rolled her eyes and sighed deliberately, "My husband has always praised your piano skills to me. I thought I would be lucky enough to hear it today. What a pity."
Xie Miaorong also felt a little regretful. She felt that she was not inferior to Jiang Fengqi in any way. Those young men would be amazed by her piano playing.
If she were to go on stage, how could the girl from the Zhang family ever get the first place?
Xie Miaorong's brows were stern as she spoke word by word, "Playing the zither is to cultivate one's sentiments, not a means of attracting attention.
I didn’t learn the piano to perform for others, and even if I was picked today, I wouldn’t show off in front of others.”
Gu Rou originally wanted to use this opportunity to provoke Xie Miaorong to resent Gu Jin, but she didn't expect to be lectured instead.
"Miaorong is absolutely right. I am too superficial." Gu Rou forced a smile and cursed Xie Miaorong in her heart for being so pretentious!
The atmosphere in the garden became lively when the opera troupe came on stage. Gu Jin was quite interested in the ancient opera troupe. After all, it was an important part of her career to popularize online literature.
Seeing that Gu Jin was watching intently, Duobao stepped forward and filled his glass with wine.
"Madam, I heard that this rose wine is a tribute from the palace and cannot be bought outside. You can drink a few more cups."
"Yeah." Gu Jin replied indifferently and picked up the wine cup casually.
As soon as her pink lips touched the wine cup, Gu Jin's hand paused.
"Madam, what's wrong?"
Gu Jin shook the wine cup in his hand, and the rose-colored wine created ripples.
"Nothing, I just thought about the scent sachet I just received from sister Miaoyin, and I should go and toast her a glass of wine to thank her."
Duobao's shoulders relaxed and he smiled.
Gu Jin tiptoed to Xie Miaoyin's table. Seeing Gu Jin coming over, she asked in surprise, "Why is Third Sister-in-law here?"
"What, Miaoyin doesn't want to see me?" Gu Jin joked.
Xie Miaoyin hummed coquettishly and said, "I won't tolerate Third Sister-in-law accusing me like this. I must make Third Sister-in-law drink a penalty."
"Then I am offering myself to you, isn't that right?" Gu Jin smiled brightly, "I really like Sister Miaoyin's sachet, so I came to offer you a glass of wine to express my gratitude."
Gu Jin raised his hand and poured a glass of wine for Xie Miaoyin. Xie Miaoyin was flattered. "It's just a small sachet. Third sister-in-law, you are really embarrassing me."
Xie Miaorong took the wine cup, and the two of them clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
There was a sharp light in Gu Rou's eyes. She glanced at Duobao and saw Duobao nod, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
After Gu Jin finished his toast, he returned to his seat. Gu Rou took a sip from the wine cup and said faintly, "As expected of a tribute, this rose wine tastes really good."
Xie Miaoyin curved her lips and smiled brightly, "I see that Third Sister-in-law also likes it very much. I will send it to Third Sister-in-law when I get some good wine in the future."
"I'm afraid that your third sister-in-law can't drink much and won't want to drink anymore in the future." Gu Rou smiled faintly, with a cold light in her eyes.
Xie Miaoyin just sipped the fruit wine and didn't say much.
The two looked at Gu Jin from time to time, seeing her eating melon seeds and candied fruits, and then drinking with Murong Qing, looking very uncomfortable.
Gradually, Xie Miaoyin and Gu Rou became more and more confused from their initial calmness. The drumbeats on the field became faster and faster, making people's heartbeats more intense. At this moment, Gu Jin suddenly turned his head to look at Xie Miaoyin.
The corners of her lips were raised, and there was a deep smile in her charming peach blossom eyes. Although she was beautiful, she made people feel inexplicably dangerous.
Xie Miaoyin suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart, and her body felt cold because of her smile.
The drumbeats stopped and the play finally came to an end. After the noise, the garden became especially quiet as everyone was immersed in the plot that had just happened.
At this moment, Xie Miaoyin suddenly frowned, feeling a sharp pain in her abdomen. There was a domineering aura flowing through her body, which was completely out of her control.
Xie Miaoyin felt something was wrong and was about to leave, but as she stood up, the breath finally found the right direction and was released!
"Puff puff!"
With a few crisp sounds, Xie Miaoyin's abdominal pain stopped.
She stood there in a daze as if petrified, her body so cold that she had lost all feeling.
What did she just do!
This can't be true. It can't be true!
