After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains
Chapter 59 Revenge Step 1
At the gate of the Duke of Anguo's mansion, there were several luxury cars parked, all of which belonged to the noble families who came to attend the banquet.
The most eye-catching of these is Princess Leyang's ceremonial procession, which is magnificent and grand, demonstrating her extraordinary status.
For this banquet, the wife of Duke Anguo specially prepared a warm room and even asked the Imperial Observatory to choose a date.
The sky is clear and the autumn air is crisp.
The wind brings a hint of early winter chill, but it does not hinder the warmth and fragrance in the warm room.
When Qin Yaoguang arrived, all the female relatives were seated, scattered in the pavilion in groups of three or four, chatting with their friends.
"Princess Leyang has arrived—"
Everyone stood up to greet him.
"Flat body."
Qin Yaoguang held up his hands, slowly scanned the room, walked to the side of the wife of Duke Anguo, and said with a smile, "Sorry to bother you."
After she transmigrated into the book, she made her first appearance in the circle of dignitaries in the capital, with her hair combed high in a bun and dressed elegantly. The pearls adorning the hem of her skirt dazzled people's eyes. She perfectly grasped her identity as the eldest princess and was radiant.
No matter how these people viewed her in the past, from now on, if anyone treats her with disrespect, she will not tolerate it!
The wife of the Duke of Anguo was about the same age as her, a well-maintained and slightly plump noblewoman. She immediately smiled and said, "The eldest princess is so kind. This is a blessing from my past life."
She clapped lightly and said, "Serve the food."
Dishes were served in a stream. Next to the autumn crabs was osmanthus wine. Thinly sliced red persimmons looked even more pleasing to the eye when placed on a white porcelain plate.
A noblewoman smiled and said to the wife of Duke Anguo, "I knew you had such good stuff. Autumn crabs are hard to find, so it's amazing that you still have some."
Lady Anguogong said with a smile: "How can we entertain distinguished guests with just home-cooked dishes? How can we invite Her Royal Highness the Princess without sincerity?"
As she spoke, she praised Qin Yaoguang highly.
Everyone present was a smart person. They immediately understood the intention of the Duke Anguo's Mansion to be on good terms with the Princess's Mansion, and each of them had their own thoughts.
Yes, things have changed a lot now. In a month at most, the prince consort will return to Beijing!
By then, the princess's mansion would become a place of great prosperity and excitement, and building good relationships in advance was more important than anything else.
He not only praised Qin Yaoguang, but also the wife of Marquis Boyuan.
Marquis Boyuan is nothing among the nobles, but who makes her the aunt of Yan Changqing?
However, the wife of Marquis Boyuan wanted to support the Xiao mother and daughter in the princess's mansion. After being criticized by Qin Yaoguang, she became wary of Qin Yaoguang.
Except for the greeting when she first came in, she sat far away.
The wife of Duke Anguo was a woman of great social skills. Under her arrangement, seven or eight noble ladies from the capital, along with their daughters, took their seats at the banquet one after another, and the scene was very lively.
Even in noble families, the women would go out only a few times. Going out for an outing and worshiping Buddha were happy times.
On a daily basis, they rely on various banquets held by families of equal status to maintain etiquette exchanges and take the opportunity to introduce their sons and daughters who are about to grow up to other families.
Halfway through the banquet, a maid hurried up to Zheng, the eldest daughter-in-law of Lady Anguo, and whispered something to her.
Zheng was born in the Mansion of Duke Rong. Her eldest sister was Concubine Zheng in the palace. She was brought up as a lady from an aristocratic family since birth.
However, she almost lost her composure when she heard what the maid said.
Qin Yaoguang saw it all and took a sip of the osmanthus wine slowly, knowing that what she had been waiting for had finally come.
She came to the banquet for two reasons: one, to reappear in the social circle of Beijing, and two, to witness this moment with her own eyes - the first step of Yan Changqing's revenge.
It may seem like just a small thing, but it has far-reaching consequences.
Zheng found an excuse to leave, and the smile on Lady Anguo's face seemed to be a little faltering.
Not long after, several screams were heard from outside.
This way, the truth can no longer be concealed.
However, for the sake of Lady Anguo, no one asked any more questions. We were all guests, and it was not our duty to ask about other people's affairs.
However, a burst of wild laughter was heard, and a noble young man in his twenties suddenly rushed in.
He wore a gold and jade hair crown, his clothes were wide open, and in his right hand he held a golden peacock hairpin, which was obviously a woman's thing.
The warm room was filled with female relatives, many of whom were young girls.
Shocked by the sudden change, they all stood up and ran away from him. For a while, screams and cries were heard everywhere.
The noble ladies who brought them to the banquet had angry looks on their faces. They protected their girls and glared at the people who suddenly broke in.
Because they were old friends, they all recognized this young man. He was the second master of the Duke of Anguo's mansion - Jiang Guan.
Qin Yaoguang looked at him coldly. Jiang Guan's eyes were red and his face showed a drunken expression. It was obvious that he was not in a clear state of mind.
He held the hairpin high in the air, staggered toward the ladies, and muttered to himself, "Canyi, Canyi, don't hide from me, where are you?"
Jiang Guan's speech was unclear and even some saliva flowed from his lips.
But what surprised the ladies even more than the saliva was the name he kept repeating - Canyi.
Jiang Guan got married last year and married a woman from the famous Zhu family in Jiangnan.
Although she was only a daughter of a side branch, Zhu's willingness to marry a girl from the family into the Anguo Mansion represented an attitude and became a popular story at the time.
The "Canyi" he was talking about at this moment was none other than Zhu Canyi, the legitimate daughter of the Zhu family who was sent to Beijing to study in a girls' school. She had a noble status, unparalleled talents and virtues, and was the object of many noble ladies' vying to make friends with.
How is this going?
Did Jiang Guan attack his sister-in-law?
Or has there been an affair between the two of them?
The ladies cursed their bad luck in their hearts, while holding their girls' hands and avoiding Jiang Guan.
The secret affairs of the inner house can always be found in wealthy families, but what does this have to do with them? They don’t want to know at all!
Lady Anguo's face flushed, and she angrily shouted, "What are you doing?! Guan'er is drunk, where are the servants?"
Too shameful!
She had never been so embarrassed in her life, and that person was her own son!
At this time, Zheng and his men hurriedly arrived from behind.
When she received the news, she was told that the Second Master was causing trouble in the outer courtyard. How come he came to the warm room now?
Because there were only female members in the house, it was inconvenient for servants to enter, and the maids and old women could not stop an unconscious young man at all. What's more, Jiang Guan was the legitimate master of the Anguo Mansion, and no one wanted to hurt him.
Qin Yaoguang winked at Nanny Deng, who took a few steps forward, stood in front of Jiang Guan, and took hold of his hand holding the golden peacock hairpin and twisted it downwards.
In pain, the hairpin fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Jiang Guan didn't care about anything else. He just lowered his head to look at the hairpin and squatted down to pick it up.
Nanny Deng quickly snatched it away and turned around to leave the warm room.
“Canyi, Canyi!”
He shouted loudly and was led out of the warm room by Nanny Deng.
