Jiang Xinyue didn't care whether he was happy or not. Anyway, she was very happy during the Chinese New Year.
Because this time, it was not Mrs. Zhou who was brought into the palace by Cheap Father, but her mother, Mrs. Ruan.
Her half-brothers and sisters were here, waving hello to her from afar across the crowd!
Jiang Xinyan has always been gentle, self-restrained, dignified and steady, and rarely shows her emotions so openly. This is the first time Jiang Yunxia and Jiang Yuncai have entered the palace, and it is also the first time they have met cousin Yue after entering the palace.
In fact, before Jiang Xinyue entered the palace, they had only met Jiang Xinyue once. Many years ago, when the fourth uncle took the whole family back to his hometown to worship their ancestors.
Jiang Xinyue was only ten years old at that time!
Jiang Yunxia is about seven or eight years old.
Her only impression of Jiang Xinyue was that she was beautiful. All the girls in the Jiang family combined could not match her beauty.
When she was a child, there was no little girl in the tribe who was not jealous of her. They felt that she was standing there like a towering tree, covering up everyone else's light.
At that time, no one played with her. The little girls were not happy, and the little boys were shy and did not dare to disturb this fairy-like sister.
After so many years, time has been particularly fond of her. After that beautiful face grew, it revealed her astonishing beauty and brilliance.
Those rich ladies who think highly of themselves outside also complain privately, saying why Jiang Xinyue is so favored, isn't she just a vase?
Jiang Yunxia shook her head, only feeling it was funny.
After seeing cousin Yue's beauty today, can they still say such outrageous words?
vase?
Even if it is a vase, her cousin Yue is the most beautiful and exquisite one among all the vases, making people fall in love with her at first glance.
As a woman, she couldn't help but be attracted to her. She just wanted to take a few more glances, not to mention that the emperor was a strong-blooded man?
Isn’t the meaning of a vase just beauty?
Being beautiful enough is already the biggest reason why she is favored!
The last time she entered the palace, Ruan met her daughter in Hexi Palace. It was at the fifth prince's full moon banquet. She had not seen her eldest daughter for almost a year.
She came in a low-key manner that time, and Sister Yue was not as favored as she is now, so no one paid attention to her.
This time it was different. After Ruan took her seat, all the eyes around her fell on her, making her a little nervous for no reason, and she pulled Jiang Yankun's sleeve timidly.
She is not afraid of anything else, but she is afraid that her lowly status will cause her children to be criticized.
Especially Sister Yue...
Jiang Yankun was still chatting and laughing on the table with the officials who were flattering him around him. His hand under the table tightly held Ruan's hand, and he gently scratched the back of her hand with his thumb to reassure her.
Where there are flattering people, there will naturally be sarcastic and mean people.
"It's a coincidence, our family has some connections with Mr. Jiang's family!"
Li Guifei's mother, Mrs. Pei, sneered coldly: "I heard that Mrs. Ruan used to be a dancer in the Prince of Ruyang's palace. Back then, the King of Ruyang saw that Mrs. Ruan was so beautiful that she was almost given to my father as a bed warmer. But My father was already very old at that time and declined politely. Master Jiang had to have a keen eye for beauty and asked King Ruyang to be his concubine. Otherwise, today’s precious concubine should be my little sister. Then The generation gap is a bit big, but Mr. Jiang can ask my father to marry his old daughter."
These words are really vicious.
First, Ruan's identity was exposed in public, and her unhappiness was made obvious, arousing everyone's contempt.
Furthermore, the King of Ruyang got a stunning dancing girl back then and planned to give it to Pei Zhongshu as a gift. However, Pei Zhongshu looked down on such a woman with a low status, unknown origins, and no idea whether she was capable of being fucked cleanly, so he refused.
It was Jiang Yankun who was not taboo about meat and vegetables and was so careless that he actually married such a prostitute who could do anything for her. He must have been obsessed with sex.
What's even more outrageous is that she assumed that if Mrs. Ruan gave Pei Zhongshu a concubine, Jiang Xinyue would be Pei Zhongshu's daughter, and asked Jiang Yankun to go to their Pei family to ask for Jiang Xinyue's hand in marriage.
This is not a violation of the ethical code, it is implying that the Jiang family has no rules, and spreading rumors that their father and daughter are in trouble...
The color drained from Ruan's face. She thought that she would be insulted, but she never thought that Pei would be so vicious and would ruin the Jiang family's daughter's innocence.
There was no trace of anger in Jiang Yankun's gentle eyes. Instead, he sneered: "Miss Pei is right. I have to thank Pei Zhongshu for his support back then, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to marry Qingniang innocently. But Pei The girl is wrong in one thing. The emperor has already decreed that Qing Niang will be my equal wife. She is not the concubine you talk about. My Qing Niang is well-educated and gentle. She is not like those husbands who immediately divorce and leave when their husbands are in trouble. They are vipers and scorpion women who have no connections. They have sharp teeth and sharp mouths. My wife is well-educated and she is no match for me. I also ask you ladies to take good care of my wife. Jiang would like to thank you all."
"Yes, yes... no need to thank you, it's all what you should and should..."
Master Jiang's mouth is too poisonous!
Ms. Pei's voice after voice, isn't this just adding salt to Mrs. Pei's wounds?
She is a poisonous woman with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and she is not well-bred. Every word of her words is heart-wrenching!
Moreover, while scolding her back, she also helped Ruan to clarify that when she was with Mr. Jiang, she was an innocent young lady, not the despicable person that Mr. Pei said.
Most men are chaste, Jiang Yankun said so, so Ruan must have no problem.
Mrs. Pei was so angry that she wanted to get angry, but this was a palace banquet and she had to endure it, but the ferocious expression on her face was really not decent.
Jiang Xinyue didn't hear the argument over there, but saw her mother's pale face and frightened eyes, as well as the angry and heaving chests of her younger siblings.
Who is the talkative person who is stirring up trouble?
She looked at the sweet crab meat that had been peeled on the table, and then looked at Mr. Pei who was sitting diagonally across from the Jiang family. She raised her hand to call Xiao Xuanzi and said a few words in his ear. Xiao Xuanzi quickly Exited the hall.
Manager Gao is carefully preparing tonight's main course - hot pot.
Then they saw Eunuch Xuan, who was by Lady Zhenbi's side, coming. He quickly wiped his hands and said, "Eunuch, do you have any instructions from me?"
Xiao Xuanzi swept the table and said, "The queen asked me to get some crabs."
The senior manager immediately put four plump crabs on a plate and said, "I'll let them take care of it and give it to the queen."
After thinking about it, he added: "Eunuch Xuan, these crabs are a thing of the great cold. My wife is pregnant, so it's best not to eat too much."
Xiao Xuanzi smiled and accepted his kindness: "Thank you, Manager Gao, for reminding me, but these crabs are not for the queen to eat and to punish people. Please help me deal with these good-looking crabs and get a few more." Give me the meatless ones, the pricked ones, and the hard-shelled ones, I have to finish the job for you."
The senior manager understood what he said, and within a moment, he selected a few more crabs that were about to be thrown away and gave them to him as he requested.
