"That is, no matter how beautiful the flowers are, they will eventually wither."

"Ouch, it seems to be coming, look, look, look..."

Xiao Linche, the Ninth Prince Xiao Linzhan, and the Number One Scholar Cui Zhi were sitting at the same table. Xiao Linche had a gloomy face and buried his head in sipping tea. The Ninth Prince Xiao Linzhan used his elbow to nudge him.

"Myna, stop drinking..."

Xiao Shan and Xiao Lian walked in front, and Jiang Qingxue came meandering next. She covered her mouth and smiled shyly.

"Don't blame me, I'm late."

She was already low-key today, but her plain dress still couldn't hide her beauty. But when she stood there, she looked like a pearl among the rubble, with such a graceful and elegant appearance that it made women feel ashamed. It makes men's hearts flutter when they look at it.

The men and women attending the banquet all stared straight at it for a moment. Cui Zhi also took the opportunity to take a few glances. He didn't know why, but his eyes couldn't help but stay on Jiang Qingxue's plump breasts. He remembered that day by the lotus pond again. , Jiang Qingxue deliberately bumped into him when she passed by. He touched his arm, as if the soft feeling was still there.

The Ninth Prince Xiao Linzhan was also a little absent-minded, and he murmured.

"Bago, is that third sister-in-law? Why is she getting more and more beautiful?"

Even though Xiao Linche was agitated in his heart, his face remained calm as he scolded.

"Lao Jiu, stop talking nonsense!"

The Ninth Prince smiled disapprovingly.

"Tell me what's wrong? Third brother is so lucky!"

It's a pity that such a beautiful beauty was abandoned and left alone to stay in an empty house every night while raising four children who were waiting to be fed. What kind of sin was this?

Jiang Qingxue walked over gracefully, smiling and greeting everyone. She was more dignified and dignified than those real noble ladies. Everyone here had to give her face. After all, her identity was there. Even if she didn't accept it, she could only show her face. A few harsh words behind the scenes.

Not long after, the banquet started. Jiang Qingxue held up her wine glass and went to each table to propose a toast. Both men and women toasted. This made all the men very happy. However, everyone was a gentle person and could only glance at them a few times. , and don’t dare to go too far.

When it was Xiao Linche's turn, only the Ninth Prince looked at her with shining eyes and drank the wine in one gulp. The Eighth Prince and Cui Zhi both looked away, took a sip and then put it down. Jiang Qingxue shook the wine cup. , asked with a smile.

"Linche, Cui Zhuangyuan, but this wine doesn't suit your taste?"

Cui Zhi stood up in a hurry.

"This wine is very good, but Cui is too drunk."

Jiang Qingxue looked at Xiao Linche again.

"As for Linche, isn't he too drunk?"

Xiao Linche had a smile on his face, but he never looked into her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, please forgive me. Just drink it."

After saying that, he raised his head and drank it all.

Cui Zhi saw this and took a few big sips. Perhaps he drank too quickly and his face turned red from choking. Jiang Qingxue hurriedly asked someone to bring him hot water. She really had no intention of making him drink. She was just teasing him for nothing.

The women all rolled their eyes when they saw this. It was simply unseemly, and they gave birth to a good skin. Compared with the serious and noble ladies, they were far behind.

Of course, there are also those who envy her. Think about how they fight with the concubines in the back house all day long, and have to raise the concubines and concubines. And Jiang Qingxue is in charge of such a large palace by herself, and all the children in the palace are hers. of one life.

Even those concubines were either sent away, taken away by the prince, or banned. Being a mistress was the first in the capital to do her job.

……

With the emperor and the imperial concubine personally issuing the order, and being supervised by the housekeeper and the nanny, there was nothing wrong with the full moon banquet. None of the guests at the banquet were dissatisfied. This was indeed a great joy in life for Xiao Linchuan, but it was a pity that the person involved was not here. The capital is still struggling to control floods in Huainan.

Jiang Qingxue, Tan Miaoyin, the Crown Princess and others sat at the same table. Although they haven't seen each other for a long time, Tan Miaoyin is still as enthusiastic as ever. She took Jiang Qingxue's hand and said sweetly.

"Qingxue, I've wanted to see you for a long time, but I heard that your fetus was unstable, so I haven't dared to come. After you gave birth, I couldn't go out easily. It was hard to come here today."

Jiang Qingxue has long been accustomed to the hypocrisy of these official daughters.

"As long as you have this heart, I'm very bored too. You have to come and play with me more often in the future."

The Crown Princess looked at Tan Miaoyin and joked meaningfully.

"Qingxue, you don't know. She has been very busy recently. She is busy embroidering wedding dresses at home. She has no time to go out and play. I have asked her out several times, but she has pushed me away."

Jiang Qingxue was slightly surprised. Didn't she like Xiao Linche?

"When did you get engaged? Whose son is he?"

Tan Miaoyin's face immediately turned red and she lowered her head without saying a word. But it can be seen from the raised corners of her mouth that she is very satisfied with this marriage, otherwise she would not be so shy.

Seeing her like that, the princess laughed even harder.

"Who else could it be? Of course it's the Eighth Prince. The three of us are going to be sisters-in-law from now on. Why don't you call me sister-in-law and sister-in-law three so that we can listen?"

Tan Miaoyin nudged the Crown Princess coquettishly.

"Oh, you're dead..."

Jiang Qingxue wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled faintly.

"Congratulations, it's indeed a good match."

No wonder Xiao Linche hasn't come to see her again for more than half a year. At first, he brought some gadgets to coax her, but then he simply lost contact. She thought it was deliberately avoiding suspicion, but she didn't expect that they were getting married quietly. , as expected, we cannot have any illusions about men.

She lost her appetite instantly and asked Xiao Lian to serve her half a bowl of ginseng chicken soup. After finishing it in small sips, she said to Tan Miaoyin, the Crown Princess and others.

"I have to go see the children, so I won't accompany you."

Tan Miaoyin and the Crown Princess didn't think much about it.

"go quickly."

Jiang Qingxue had just drank some wine and smelled of alcohol. She was about to go back to Yuzhang Courtyard to wash up when she saw the servants from the palace helping Cui Zhi out. Cui Zhi's face was red and he obviously drank too much.

Jiang Qingxue asked lazily.

"What happened to Cui Zhuangyuan?"

Cui Zhi opened his eyes in confusion. If it weren't for the two boys holding him up, he might not be able to stand still, but he still struggled to salute Jiang Qingxue.

"princess……"

The boy replied respectfully.

"Back to Princess, he's drunk."

Jiang Qingxue got the idea and ordered the boy with a smile.

"This is the closest to Nuanxiang Pavilion. Let's help Cui Zhuangyuan go there to sober up. Xiaoshan, you should also go and see if there is anything you need help with. Don't neglect Zhuangyuanzi."

Nuanxiang Pavilion is the small courtyard where she lived before. The courtyard is not big, but it is very quiet. Except for a few servants sweeping the house, there are no other people waiting there.

"Yes."

The boy didn't think there was anything wrong, so he helped the person and left.

Jiang Qingxue did not go back to Yuzhang Courtyard, but sat in the garden. After a while, Xiaoshan and two boys came out, and Xiaoshan came to report.

"Princess, everything has been arranged. Do you want to call someone to guard it? If someone goes in and bumps into the champion, it will be bad."

Jiang Qingxue glared at her.

"Come with me and take a look."

There just aren’t any good talents!

Xiaoshan Xiaolian was shocked. He opened and closed his mouth for a long time, but finally closed it. As soon as the master and servant headed towards Nuanxiang Pavilion, Xiao Linzhan followed them.

"It's really interesting!"
