The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

Before attending the palace banquet, Jiang Zhiyue knew that he would definitely meet Wen Yanzhen.

She didn't expect Wen Yanzhen to pay attention to her so actively.

Out of caution, Jiang Zhiyue instinctively became more wary of Wen Yanzhen.

One after another, ladies of honor came to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.

They were a little surprised to see Jiang Zhiyue and Princess Lan Ning standing on the left and right of the Queen Mother.

Today, Miss Jiang Liu is really attracting a lot of attention.

Princess Boyang arrived next. As she came in, everyone stood up and saluted.

Princess Boyang first bowed to the Queen Mother and paid her respects, then naturally sat down beside her.

He waved to Jiang Zhiyue and called him over to talk.

Seeing this, Princess Fu smiled and said, "Your Highness and the Queen Mother are exactly alike."

Princess Boyang heard this and raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Oh?"

Princess Fu smiled and said, "Just now, my mother also saw Yihua at a glance and stood up to call her over to talk."

Princess Boyang listened and said to the Queen Mother with a smile, "So, am I trying to please you, Queen Mother?"

The Queen Mother had always been partial to Princess Boyang. At this moment, she just smiled and said, "She is obviously your favorite."

The Queen Mother's words also had a hidden meaning.

After all, Jiang Zhiyue and Lu Qingxiao were engaged, and it was His Majesty who granted the marriage.

The eldest princess's love for her future daughter-in-law had long been known throughout the capital.

The Queen Mother naturally knew about it as well.

Princess Boyang smiled but said nothing, obviously agreeing with the Queen Mother's words.

Jiang Zhiyue was beside Princess Boyang, her delicate and pretty face slightly blushing.

Old Madam Yan had a calm and peaceful expression, and when Jiang Zhiyue looked over, he received a gentle response from his grandmother.

This look calmed Jiang Zhiyue's heart.

Today is the New Year, and Emperor Rong'an will certainly order the Yulin Guards to act with caution.

If there was trouble at the New Year's Palace Banquet, Emperor Rong An would certainly not forgive them.

While talking to the eldest princess and others, Jiang Zhiyue was thinking about the fire in the palace.

She always felt that His Majesty... would not let the secret letter of Qianshan Tower be destroyed so easily.

But I heard from my second uncle that Xie Ji's prestige in the court is no different when he is with Your Majesty.

The little girl's mind was racing, and for a moment she couldn't remember what exactly she had missed.

The princess turned around and saw a hint of worry on the little girl's brow. She asked with concern, "Achan, what are you thinking about?"

Jiang Zhiyue came back to his senses, blinked, and smiled embarrassedly at the princess.

The eldest princess didn't say much when she saw this. She just told her about some capable ladies in the capital and gave her some advice.

Jiang Zhiyue knew that this was the eldest princess's way of treating her well, so she listened carefully immediately.

Among the people mentioned by the eldest princess was Xie Ji’s wife Hou Junxian.

Jiang Zhiyue also paid special attention to Mrs. Xie.

The eldest princess spoke for a long time and then paused.

Jiang Zhiyue stood up, took the teacup from Fu Li and served tea to the eldest princess.

The Queen Mother noticed Jiang Zhiyue's actions and touched Princess Lan Ning's hand.

He asked in a low voice: "Is there no one who likes my dear grandson?"

Princess Lan Ning pouted and looked at the Queen Mother with an aggrieved look on her face: "That's right."

The Queen Mother laughed, "Then pick again. Your aunt wasn't in a hurry back then."

"Our Lan Ning is so precious, so we must choose her husband carefully."

When Princess Lan Ning heard the Queen Mother's words, she immediately smiled.

As long as she had the support of the Royal Grandmother, her father and mother would not dare to urge her to get married.

Receiving the smug look from Princess Lan Ning, Princess Fu smiled faintly and ignored Princess Lan Ning's provocation.

What a childish temper.

Princess Fu knows too well about the children she has given birth to.

The eldest is calm and steady, the second is mediocre, the third is honest, and Lan Ning is spoiled.

The third son is in love with the fifth daughter of the Duke of England, and sees that the girl seems to be showing some signs of loosening up.

It just so happened that the girl's father started to rise step by step.

The Princess of Fu felt that the impact was not significant, but Prince Fu wanted the third son to break off the marriage.

Princess Fu knew her husband's plan.

Prince Fu is the brother of Emperor Rong'an. He now lives in the capital. Although he seems to be living a prosperous life, he is actually very cautious in every step.

The Duke of Ying was originally a close confidant of Emperor Rong'an. One of his legitimate daughters married Prince Xuan, and the other married the eldest princess's son.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Duke of Yingzhou has most likely been tied to King Xuan's boat by His Majesty.

In fact, Princess Fu had difficulty in controlling Ying Xu's marriage.

The fifth lady of the Jiang family, whom he had his eyes on, actually fitted in with Princess Fu's ideas.

Jiang Er of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion did not hold a high position, had a good family background, and was not noticeable.

In addition, Ying Xu is the third son and will not inherit the title, so it would not be too conspicuous for him to ask for a title in the future.

It looked as if Jiang Er was going to exert his influence in the court, and His Majesty was obviously willing to give him this opportunity.

Now that he is in the Secretariat, who knows, he might be able to become a prime minister someday.

Prince Fu did not want His Majesty to suspect that he had too close contacts with court officials, especially the Duke of England.

Jiang Er's changes also represent what His Majesty has been thinking all along.

According to the prince, the third brother and Miss Jiang Wu... are probably not destined to be together.

When Princess Fu thought of this, she glanced at Jiang Zhiyue calmly.

This little girl is really lucky.

Even Lan Ning was not as lucky as her.

When Princess Fu was thinking about choosing a husband for Lan Ning a few years ago, she naturally considered the Jiang family.

As soon as he hesitated, thinking that Lan Ning's personality might make it difficult for her to be a clan wife, the news of the engagement between the Jiang and Ming families spread.

Princess Fu gave up.

Who would have known that Lan Ning didn't even have anyone he liked today.

But this silly child always compares himself to Jiang Tiyu, and Princess Fu is really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Princess Fu was just thinking about it when the eunuch outside came in to report that Mrs. Yu, the wife of the Minister of Rites, had brought her daughter to pay a visit.

Princess Fu looked in the direction of the voice and saw a dignified young girl following the righteous Madam Yu.

Jiang Zhiyue also saw his aunt and cousin Yingshui.

She smiled and winked at Yu Yingshui, who winked back playfully.

When Princess Lan Ning saw this, she immediately whispered into the Queen Mother's ear.

The Queen Mother also looked at Jiang Zhiyue. Jiang Zhiyue pursed his lips and pretended to be good, which made the Queen Mother chuckle.

Madam Yu was calm and composed as she bowed to the Queen Mother and the eldest princess, and Yu Yingshui did the same beside her.

Princess Fu looked at Yu Yingshui and suddenly thought that the new Minister of Rites seemed to have a son and a daughter?

She looked at Yu Yingshui carefully and found that the girl was also very beautiful, and she had an idea in her mind.

My daughter looks like this, so my son should be pretty good too, right?

Madam Yu has a gentle and calm temperament. I guess her son should be a calm person as well?

Princess Lan Ning was still flirting with Jiang Zhiyue, unaware that her mother had already found a new candidate for her to meet.

Madam Yu took Yu Yingshui to their seats, and Princess Fu took the initiative to ask someone to serve tea.

Upon seeing this, Madam Yu and Princess Fu nodded in agreement.

Princess Fu smiled readily. It seemed that Madam Yu was also a very knowledgeable and interesting person.

Wen Yanzhen took Princess Fu's little trick to heart, paused for a moment, and then resumed her movements naturally.

The Yu family is Jiang Lingyun’s uncle’s family.

Wen Yanzhen lowered her eyes and smiled softly.

I wonder what Jiang Lingyun’s expression would be if King Xuan took in another concubine who was his uncle’s daughter?
