Chapter 123: The Light and Beautiful Lady
Jiang Yunxiao came back quickly. As soon as Yue Niang finished her bath, Jiang Yunxiao came into the house carrying a box of pastries.
"Yue'er."
Yue Niang's hair was still wet. When she heard Jiang Yunxiao calling her, she came out and said, "Husband, what's wrong?"
Jiang Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. Then he shook the box in his hand awkwardly: "Hibiscus cake, I guess you must like it."
Yue Niang took the box, and the faint fragrance lingered on the box.
"Thank you, husband."
But Yue Niang thought again: "Husband, have you sent it to Mother and the others as well?"
Jiang Yunxiao shook his head: "No, our yard is closer, so I came to our yard first."
Yue Niang straightened her clothes and said, "Then let's go together. I just happen to have something to ask mother."
Jiang Yunxiao said worriedly, "I heard from the servants that my second uncle's eldest brother and sister-in-law came today?"
"They sent us an invitation, saying that they wanted us to attend a banquet at Prince Cheng's mansion."
Dong Zhu took out the post and said, "Here it is."
Jiang Yunxiao took it and frowned, "What are they planning to do now?"
Yue Niang said, "My dear husband, I think you are also burdened by me. Tian was rescued by them, so they must want to take revenge on me."
"Don't be afraid, Yue'er. I will accompany you to the banquet."
Yue Niang's eyes were red: "Okay, let's go and give some cakes to Mother and the others first."
Cao Jin went to bed early today. When he heard Yue Niang and Jiang Yunxiao coming, he got up and prepared his things. "My son, why are you here?"
Jiang Yunxiao placed the cakes on the table and said, "I passed by a Furong Cake shop today and bought some. I wanted to give some to my parents."
"Xiao'er, you've really grown up now and know how to bring things home."
Jiang Yunxiao remembered the important matter: "Father, Mother, Brother Yunsheng sent me a letter today, please take a look."
Jiang Songrui was also confused after reading it. "Prince Cheng's Mansion? Now that the current emperor is bedridden, Prince Cheng and the Crown Prince have been fighting openly and secretly. And now he's holding such a grand birthday party. What's his intention?"
Jiang Yunxiao took the post again: "And how come the Second House is colluding with the City Prince's Mansion?"
Yue Niang also talked about her shop at this time.
"Although Captain Xie didn't say it explicitly, the implication is that it was the City Prince's Mansion that did it."
Jiang Songrui slammed the table and said, "The second branch has taken advantage of its fame and started to do whatever it wants. They don't even take me, the head of the family, seriously."
Jiang Yunxiao poured Jiang Songrui a cup of tea and said, "Father, please don't get yourself upset."
Cao Jin looked at Jiang Yunxiao and Yue Niang, and couldn't help but worry: "We still have to go to this banquet. Now we need to discuss how to deal with it."
Jiang Songrui's emotions fluctuated and he started coughing again.
Jiang Yunxiao and Yue Niang rushed forward worriedly: "Father."
Jiang Songrui waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay."
Cao Jin appeased him: "Don't get angry. If the Second House wants to jump around, let them. I'm afraid they'll jump around and end up with nothing."
Jiang Songrui breathed a sigh of relief.
Yue Niang also consoled him, "Mother is right, Father. Your health is the most important thing right now."
Jiang Songrui's condition improved a lot, and he said slowly: "The second branch is trying to get close to the third prince. In these troubled times, if something goes wrong, I'm afraid our first branch will not be able to escape unscathed."
Jiang Yunxiao stood up and said, "Father, you can rest assured and recover. No matter what kind of monsters and demons there are, I am here for you."
Jiang Songrui laughed: "Great! This is my son, Jiang Songrui."
The weather has been very hot and humid during the day these days, but we have to wear a cloak at night, which is really abnormal.
Jiang Yunxiao drank some wine with Jiang Songrui tonight and is now fast asleep.
Dong Zhu came in with some water: "Madam, wash your face first."
"Well, you've worked hard. Go and have a rest first."
Dong Zhu showed no sign of leaving and pulled out a letter from his waist: "Young Madam, this is what Yan Qi handed over last night. He said it's what you wanted."
Yue Niang opened it and read: "We originally wanted to give them a holiday, but now it seems that we can't do that."
I saw that the letter contained the guest list for tomorrow's banquet.
Yue Niang saw a special name in it: Yi Meiren.
This is the beauty the emperor married last year. She is in great favor and has recently declined all banquets. How can you invite her?
I'm afraid the problem lies with this Yimei lady.
The next day, Yue Niang and her husband went very late, fearing that something might happen.
Jiang Yunxiao, who has always been fearless, has also begun to behave himself.
The sun was a bit scorching at noon. Ling Xun and Fu Yuanniang were welcoming guests outside the palace, with several servants holding umbrellas beside them.
When they saw Yue Niang and her husband coming, they both acted very arrogantly.
Jiang Yunxiao led Yue Niang forward: "Greetings to the Third Prince, greetings to the Third Princess, and wishing the Prince a happy birthday."
Ling Xun didn't even want to pretend: "Go in."
Yue Niang and Jiang Yunxiao walked towards the mansion.
Not long after they left, Fu Yuanniang caught up with them.
"big sister."
Yue Niang stopped and said to Jiang Yunxiao, "Husband, please go to the men's table first."
Jiang Yunxiao was a little worried: "Yue'er, be careful."
Jiang Yunxiao left, looking back every few steps, and only then did Yue Niang look at Fu Yuan Niang.
"I'm not your eldest sister. I'm no longer in your Fu family's family tree."
"Big sister, aren't you afraid you can't find it, so I'm here to show you the way?"
"You have so many maids and servants, why do you still need a princess like you to lead the way?"
Fu Yuanniang's thoughts were written on her face: "Big sister, come this way."
Yue Niang naturally had no idea what she was up to, so she followed him.
Fu Yuanniang led Yue Niang through twists and turns, and came to a remote wing room, and then stopped.
"Big sister, let's stop here. The show over there should be almost over."
"Husband?" Yue Niang exclaimed and hurriedly led Dong Zhu out.
Fu Yuanniang brought a few maids to stop Yue Niang.
"Big sister, I'm living in dire straits in the palace, but you and your wife are living in harmony. How is that possible?"
Yue Niang just felt that Fu Yuan Niang had changed.
"Yuan Niang, what happened to you? I can help you. Can you first tell me what Ling Xun is going to do to my husband?"
Fu Yuanniang suddenly broke down and cried pitifully: "I don't want to do this, I really don't want to do this."
Yue Niang walked over, her outstretched hand hanging in the air: "I know."
Fu Yuanniang's life experience is a shame to the Fu family and also a shame to Prince Cheng's Mansion.
Fu Yuanniang had cried enough and grabbed Yueniang's hand: "Big sister, you and Jiang Yunxiao, please don't come to me to seek revenge in the afterlife."
"What do you mean?"
Yue Niang was caught off guard and naturally did not look at Fu Yuan Niang's expression. The moment she saw the black air around Fu Yuan Niang, she was pushed into the water with a bang.
Dong Zhu shouted anxiously: "Madam."
Yue Niang is a landlubber. She said she wanted to learn to swim, but she couldn't overcome her fear. She didn't expect that she would be so shameless today. In the end, she was ruined by her own virgin mentality.
As his consciousness gradually faded away, a "strong" arm pulled him up.
cough cough-
When she was on flat ground, she felt someone hitting her chest with a hammer. When she had coughed up most of the water, Yue Niang slowly woke up.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a beautiful woman in purple clothes hugging me.
"Are you awake?" The beautiful woman's voice was also pleasant.
Hey, this beauty looks familiar.
The girl who gave Yue Niang a bottle of genuine perfume in front of Yan Hua’s shop a few years ago.
Dong Zhu helped his daughter up: "Madam, are you okay?"
"He was rescued in time, so he won't die." Yue Niang looked for the culprit nearby.
But Fu Yuanniang had disappeared long ago.
Yue Niang turned and looked at the girl.
"Thank you very much for saving my life, young lady. I am Mrs. Fu from the Duke's Mansion. May I ask your name? I will come to express my gratitude one day."
"Qin Wanwan, I don't want you to thank me for what happened today. I just ask you not to spread it out." Qin Wanwan looked embarrassed.
"Of course, of course. This palace is so big, I'm lost. Miss Qin, can you take me with you?"
Qin Wanwan was a little embarrassed: "Something happened at the men's table, and the princess asked everyone to go there. The last time I came to Prince Cheng's Mansion, I remembered there was a secluded shortcut here, so..."
"Do you want to go and see this excitement?"
There was white gas on Qin Wanwan's head. Presumably, Qin Wanwan was hiding it on purpose and happened to save herself.
"Please take me with you, Miss Qin."
The excitement in the men's section might be related to Jiang Yunxiao.
On the way, Qin Wanwan made the excuse that she was in a hurry and just pointed the way to Yue Niang and left.
Since she's hiding, there's no need to pull her back.
When Yue Niang rushed to the men's section, it was already in a mess.
Everyone said that Jiang Yunxiao had flirted with Lady Yi.
