Gardenia glanced at it and shook her head without paying much attention.
"It was originally given to you. I don't need a token for whatever I want to do."
She can brush her face directly!
As he spoke, he unconsciously raised his chin, his tone of voice could not be concealed, and he was arrogant but not arrogant. Paired with that delicate little face, people couldn't help but feel happy.
Shen Nanqing couldn't help laughing, and then accepted the kindness.
"Then leave it with me first."
At the family banquet in the palace, men and women were seated separately. Looking down from the main seat in the middle, there were royal blood first, then the important officials of the court, and the rest were the young masters and ladies lined up on both sides, arranged in descending order of family members.
As the ladies of the Prime Minister's Palace, Shen Nanqing and Shen Yang were not at the back, but probably in the middle. At this time, only Shen Yang was sitting there alone.
Because of the farce in the afternoon, this meeting came early. Most of the ladies looked here intentionally or unintentionally, and then gathered together to talk.
Feeling the mocking gaze falling on him, Shen Yang tightened the handkerchief in his hand, his lips turning pale.
While lowering her head, she covered up the malice and dissatisfaction that was about to overflow from her eyes.
These bitches will become concubines when she becomes the prince, and they will definitely not have a good life.
If Shen Nanqing hadn't come back too early and disrupted her plan, the prince would obviously have her in mind right now.
Thinking of the gossip she had received, her expression turned cold. This matter must be done tonight. She can slowly plan for herself, but she must first eliminate the possibility of Shen Nanqing and the prince.
My dear sister, I blame you for taking advantage of this good birth.
After a while, higher-status royal relatives came over one after another, and the seats near the front were filled little by little.
When the fifth princess passed by, she couldn't help but sneered at Shen Yang, leaving a disdainful look in her eyes as she was helped forward.
Gardenia and Shen Nanqing came over at this time.
Hearing the palace official's announcement, the fifth princess, who originally wanted to save her face, paused for a moment, then quickened her pace, assuming the posture of a princess but her movements were not slow at all, which made her look a little funny inexplicably.
Princess Anping, who had just sat down, curled her lips with an unknown meaning, mocking the fool in her heart, and continued to instruct her maid to change the tableware.
Zhi Nai didn't notice this scene and just pulled Shen Nanqing towards her.
"Sit with me, it's very spacious."
Shen Nanqing, who guessed what would happen tonight, smiled and nodded without refusing.
Watching the two people skipping him and moving forward, the resentment in Shen Yang's eyes almost solidified, and he felt extremely humiliated.
The sounds of other people's conversations could be heard faintly in her ears, as if they were deliberately laughing at her.
"The relationship between Miss Shen and the little princess is really good. She actually brought someone to her seat. I thought it was just a normal friendship. Didn't we just meet last year?"
"I heard that Miss Shen is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She has been a famous and talented girl in the capital since she was a child. She has only lost her reputation due to her absence in recent years. It is not impossible for the young princess to take a fancy to her."
"What are you talking about? Miss Shen? The one from the Prime Minister's Mansion? She is not a talented woman, and she doesn't know who to show off her weak posture every day."
"Shit, we're talking about the legitimate daughter. You didn't go out this afternoon, but you missed a lot of fun."
"What? Tell me quickly."
"..."
The princes hadn't come yet, and most of them were female relatives. Shen Yang couldn't help but slander him.
"What right do a group of people sitting below me have to discuss me? I have a low status."
The few people who were discussing in low voices were stunned, and after hearing the malice in her tone, they shrank their necks and dispersed silently.
