Lin Xilan looked to the other side with confusion.

Nearly half of the capital's aristocratic families and some young officials were also among those invited by the eldest princess.

These ones.

But they are all outsiders!

The ladies and young ladies looked at each other, and finally smiled knowingly.

There was a hint of narrowness and disdain in the smile.

"Princess, you don't know, isn't this exactly our eldest princess' hobby?"

Hobby?

Ok?

Why does it sound a little weird?

Seeing that Lin Xilan was confused, they covered their mouths and explained: It turned out that the eldest princess was deeply favored by the emperor and had been at odds with her husband for a long time, so it was a long-standing idea to use the banquet to select men who suited her heart. Those foreign men dressed up in fancy clothes were the delicacies specially prepared for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

Lin Xilan: “…”

Your circle is really chaotic.

But before she could express her feelings, a large group of noble ladies had already pulled her aside to ask how lively the gathering of heroes was that day and how she had won the top five prizes.

Lin Xilan answered casually.

All I hear are sounds of praise.

The contrast is obvious.

There were few people on Jiang Mingzhu's side.

Around her, apart from her lackey He Qian, there were only a few people surrounding her and chatting with each other. The comparison with Lin Xilan's current situation could only be described as tragic!

Jiang Mingzhu looked unhappy.

Jiang Mingzhu's face was gloomy.

Lips pursed.

His brows were furrowed.

The corners of her mouth drooped slightly, and she tried hard to suppress her inner dissatisfaction and resentment.

Her eyes flickered when she saw the blood jade beside the eldest princess.

Although I don’t know why Lin Xilan sent the things back.

but--

She had tampered with this!

Think of this.

She gritted her teeth, raised her hand suddenly, and picked up the blood jade before the princess could react.

Then there was a bang.

Break into pieces.

"what!"

She exclaimed, her eyes flashing with undisguised fear.

She pointed at the blood jade and said before she could see the fragments on the ground clearly.

"what!"

"Aunt, how could you put something like this in the blood jade?"

"Aunt, who are you trying to harm?"

Princess Mingzhu's voice was shrill, and it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.

Ok?

Everyone looked over when they heard the sound, their eyes filled with confusion.

Lin Xilan smiled. She stood up slowly and walked to the broken pieces of blood jade in an elegant and graceful manner.

The corners of her lips curled up in a faint sneer, she raised her head, her eyes full of provocation.

She said slowly and with an innocent look in her eyes.

"What did I put in this blood jade?"

"Of course it's a bug. What on earth do you want to do by hiding the bug in the jade pendant?"

Jiang Mingzhu's pupils dilated, her lips slightly parted, and she looked extremely fragile and helpless.

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed the strange looks from people around her. Her face froze for a moment and she lowered her head unconsciously.

All I saw was the blood jade fragment lying neatly on the ground.

Where are the bugs?

Where are the bugs?

This……

Her vision went dark.

She knew that Lin Xilan had tricked her!

Lin Xilan seized the opportunity and spoke abruptly, "Come to think of it, there is clearly nothing in this jade pendant, why does the princess always feel that there is something inside?"

"Besides, you said it so confidently. If I remember correctly... these things were originally given to me by the princess."

"Could it be..."

"What did the princess put in here?"

Lin Xilan had just finished speaking.

Everyone was shocked!

The grudge between Princess Mingzhu and the Regent Princess has a long history, so...

Everyone began to talk in a low voice.

"Putting poisonous insects in blood jade to harm people, this is not a new method..."

"How could the kind-hearted Princess Mingzhu know about such a dirty trick..."

"Yeah... unless she has done some special research and put that thing there... otherwise, this explanation doesn't make sense..."

"that is……"

Jiang Mingzhu heard everyone's speculations.

Her face turned pale instantly, her heart skipped a beat, she looked up suddenly and yelled at the people around her.

"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense! How could I do such a thing? I just accidentally saw it wrong just now!"

Lin Xilan smiled but said nothing.

She and Cui'er knew very well whether there was anything in it.

The reason why she copied another "exactly the same" set was to wait and see Jiang Mingzhu's reaction, and it turned out to be just as she expected.

Think of this.

She pinched her chin.

In the face of the princess's sullen face, he smiled faintly, "Is that so? It seems to be a misunderstanding. If it is a misunderstanding, don't worry about it."

"What are you all standing there for? Continue drinking tea and appreciating the flowers..."

The eldest princess's grip on the teacup loosened and tightened again.

A final shout.

"Mingzhu, aren't you ashamed? Get off now!"

What Jiang Mingzhu feared most was her mother, so she went down in shame, while Lin Xilan took the cup of tea handed to her.

Just take a sniff.

His eyes suddenly turned cold.

——There’s a laxative in this tea!

To be honest, Lin Xilan herself didn't understand why she had to use laxatives when there were so many other medicines to choose from? This method was too childish!

She pretended to take a sip.

Then he pretended to look uncomfortable and made up an excuse to leave.

however.

However, just as he reached the lake, a little maid in a light yellow dress suddenly rushed towards him from behind.

Push her into the lake with all your strength!

Same old trick?

This is what Lin Xilan thought at the moment she fell into the water.

In the past, Jiang Mingzhu did everything she could to frame the original owner, but this time, she didn't seem to be there. Did this maid just want to drown her?

But soon.

Lin Xilan understood.

Because she saw the maid looking around and shouting in panic -

"Oh no! The girl fell into the water! Someone come and save her!"

It is summer now, the sun is shining brightly, and there is some residual heat in the water.

Lin Xilan originally wanted to climb up.

however.

When they heard that someone had fallen into the water, the men on the shore were stunned. After hesitating for a moment, they actually jumped into the water one after another.

Lin Xilan: “…”

She probably understood what was going on.

To put it bluntly, Princess Mingzhu and the eldest princess wanted to do something to her chastity if she lost her reputation by falling into the water.

Being watched by so many people.

you say.

What is she going to do?

She was speechless and went ashore first before the other party swam over.

"Don't shout, I know how to swim."

She said lazily, smiling at the shocked maid, her eyes cold: "By the way, tell Princess Mingzhu and the eldest princess that today's hospitality is very good, and I will definitely repay them in the future!"

As expected, like daughter, like mother.

The bad ideas they came up with are all exactly the same, it's really laughable!

She raised her foot to leave.

Unexpectedly, someone emerged from the water behind him, "Princess, are you okay?"
