The daughter of the first wife is a black lotus, reborn and remarried to kill

Chapter 69 If You Don’t Want to Give a Gift, Don’t Give It

The queen paused holding the teacup and looked suddenly at Jiang Huairong, unable to hide the shock in her eyes.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo frowned slightly.

Shen Changyun was so angry that he laughed, "What did you say?"

It is often said that women's deep friendship is as close as sworn brothers. If the Fifth Princess could only chat with Li Qingqian, there is nothing wrong with this statement itself.

However, there was a scandal in the early days of the founding of Dawei: a pair of women were close friends and had agreed to remain single and stay together for life.

But one of them was the daughter of an official, and she could not disobey her parents' orders and was forced to marry.

The other person was an ordinary restaurant owner. After learning that the other party was married, she was so angry that she closed her restaurant for three years.

Later, the married girl was diagnosed with difficulty in getting pregnant. Although she was not divorced, her husband brought concubines into the house one after another. Not only that, he also beat her every few days.

The woman knew that she was disliked, so she often went to a restaurant to get drunk.

The proprietress of this restaurant was her close friend in the boudoir.

Over time, the lady's husband also noticed something was wrong. One day when he followed his wife out, he happened to run into the proprietress in a restaurant box, drawing eyebrows and applying lipstick on his wife, and her behavior was unusually intimate.

Later, the friendship between brothers and sisters took on a more obscure meaning.

But today was the first time that Li Qingqian and Jiang Huairong met, so it would be far-fetched to say that they were sworn brothers.

In addition, what Li Qingqian saw just now, the provocative look in Jiang Huairong's eyes towards Shen Changyun, it was hard for her not to think too much.

It turns out that the key point of the Fifth Princess's strange words to me just now is here...

*

Seeing that Li Qingqian seemed to be in some trouble, Song Ningyan couldn't sit still anymore and stood up and walked over there.

Once she left, Song Mianshuang couldn't stay there and chat with Li Shuyue.

So he stood up and walked towards the prince and his wife.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have a son and a daughter. The little grandson is eight years old this year. He was conferred the title of Prince the year he was born and is deeply loved by the Emperor.

The little princess was not even two years old this year and was still learning to speak. The rewards given to her from the imperial palace flowed into the East Palace like water.

The little grandson was happily eating snacks, watching the adults around him laughing and teasing his little sister.

Song Mianshuang walked over with a smile on her face, bowed to the Crown Prince who was holding the princess and the Crown Princess who was playing with her daughter, and said, "I am Song Mianshuang, the daughter of Marquis Ding'an, and I greet the Crown Prince and Crown Princess."

The prince thought about it carefully in his mind and asked, "Ms. Song? You and Miss Song II are sisters, right?"

Song Mianshuang's mouth twitched unnaturally, "Yes, An Ning is my sister."

The Crown Princess and the Crown Prince exchanged a glance, then smiled gently and pointed to an empty seat nearby, saying, "So this is the daughter of Marquis Ding'an. Please sit down."

Song Mianshuang thanked him with a smile, and after sitting down, she took a brocade box from her maid and said, "I knew that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had a little princess, but I have never been able to congratulate them. This is the New Year gift that I prepared for the little princess. Please accept it."

"Ms. Song is thoughtful," the Crown Princess smiled politely, but the moment Song Mianshuang opened the brocade box, her smile faltered, "Hmm?"

The prince also curled his lips and asked Song Mianshuang: "I wonder what gift Miss Song prepared for Wei'er?"

Before Song Mianshuang saw what was inside the brocade box, she still thought that it was the gift she had prepared that made the eyes of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess light up.

The smile on her face became even bigger, and a layer of shyness appeared in her eyes when she looked at the prince. "This is a snow fox fur blanket from Beiyuan. It's freezing cold today, and the little princess is also delicate. This snow fox blanket is the warmest, and it can be used even if there is a late spring cold next year."

The daughter of the Liu family who had been arguing with her at the palace gate couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said sarcastically: "Oh, I think the evil spirit in Beiyuan is rampant. The snow fox can also resurrect its corpse. Even if it is made into a thick blanket, it can still turn into a monster and slip away."

Song Mianshuang didn't understand what she meant by this, and she frowned and retorted: "Miss Liu Er, it's the New Year's Eve palace banquet now, His Majesty and the Queen are over there, and the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are still here, how dare you say such unlucky words!"

"Hmph," Imperial Concubine Liu had no children, and she had a good relationship with the Crown Prince and his wife. The daughter of the Liu family was also loved by the Crown Princess, and she always looked down on others. "If you hadn't done such a thing, I wouldn't have been able to point out your faults, and naturally I wouldn't have said such words."

Song Mianshuang was not convinced. "Why, you said such arrogant words, and you still blame me? Is it wrong for me to prepare a gift for the princess? If so, then I would like to ask, second lady, have you prepared anything for the little princess?"

The Liu family's daughter laughed angrily and rolled her eyes at her. "I sent a gift when the little princess was born two years ago. It was also a coincidence that I sent a gift just before the eldest lady came. Now compared to the snow fox fur blanket that the eldest lady mentioned, my humble piece of warm jade looks priceless."

Song Mianshuang was so angry that she wanted to stand up and hit her, but because the prince was present, she couldn't argue with him.

She sniffed, her eyes reddened, and she looked as if she was about to cry. She said aggrievedly, "Sister Liu, today is the first time we met. First you embarrassed me at the palace gate, and now you are devaluing my gift. I don't even know how I have offended you that you are targeting me like this."

"You are really good at pretending and acting." The daughter of the Liu family looked her up and down. "I dare not call you my sister. Have you forgotten that you embarrassed yourself at the palace gate because you wanted to smear the Li sisters with a bad relationship? Besides, I have seen that you are not very friendly to your own sister, Miss Song Er. If I let you recognize her as my sister, I don't know how much trouble you will put me in."

The Liu family's daughter was outspoken and didn't tolerate Song Mianshuang's bad habits at all. She snatched the brocade box from her hand and showed it to her, "Also, look carefully, there is clearly nothing in your brocade box. How can you say that you gave her a Beiyuan snow fox fur blanket?"

"If you don't want to bring a gift, you can just come here empty-handed and sit down. The Crown Princess is always gentle and kind. How could she refuse to give you a seat just because you didn't bring a gift? You have to lie to me and treat me like a fool."

After saying that, he stuffed the brocade box back into her hands and rolled his eyes at her again.

Looking at the empty box, Song Mianshuang was dumbfounded.

Here, how come there is nothing here?

It's impossible. I put the thick blanket in there with my own hands before I left the house. How could it disappear?

"Alright, stop talking," the Crown Princess said softly, "I guess the young lady hasn't decided what to give you yet. I accept your gift on behalf of Mei'er. Please sit down and have some tea."

After she said this, coupled with Song Mianshuang's expression as she looked into the box, the little princess seemed to have misunderstood something. She reached out her hand, babbling, and threw the half piece of cake she had not finished eating into the brocade box in her hand.

It's like... sending away a beggar?

Song Mianshuang's eyes narrowed, and she subconsciously shot a vicious look at the little princess.

The little princess seemed to be frightened. She suddenly retracted her hand, her eyes full of tears.

Even the little grandson of the emperor couldn't stand it anymore. He stood in front of his sister and said to Song Mianshuang angrily, "If Miss Song has any dissatisfaction with our Eastern Palace, go to my father or mother. If that doesn't work, go to me. But Ji'er is just a baby who can't even speak clearly. Why are you so fierce to her?"

He was only an eight-year-old child, and with his hands on his hips, he glared at the sixteen-year-old Song Mianshuang, making it seem like Song Mianshuang was really bullying the child.

She quickly restrained her expression and waved her hand, saying, "Your Highness has misunderstood. That is not what I meant."

Seeing Song Mianshuang's behavior, no matter how good-tempered the Crown Princess was, she couldn't laugh at this moment.

The prince also lost his good face, and said to Song Mianshuang with a stern face: "First you humiliated her by sending her an empty box, and then you were dissatisfied and gouged her eyes out. Since Miss Song doesn't like her so much, please go sit somewhere else."

Song Mianshuang bit her lower lip lightly and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness..."

"Don't let me say it a second time!"

This roar not only startled the others present, but even the Crown Princess was frightened.

I have been married to the prince for ten years, and this is the first time I have seen him so fierce.

Song Mianshuang wiped her tears and left.

Li Shuyue passed by her, glanced at her expression, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

It seemed that his trick worked. Not only did he get a Beiyuan snow fox fur rug for free, but he also successfully caused trouble for Song Mianshuang in front of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.

She stepped forward and bowed to the two of them: "Your servant, Li Shuyue, the fourth daughter of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, wishes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Crown Princess good health."
