506 Palace Banquet (3)
She looked at Shen Yijia’s smug expression.
She was even angrier. She felt like she had punched cotton.
However, she also knew that this was not a place to cause trouble, so she didn’t say anything else.
Princess Linghui had known in the past that she wouldn’t have a chance to marry Song Jingchen, let alone after the incident with the Song family.
However, she would still hate any woman who married Song Jingchen. In the past, she had mocked Shen Ruyun a lot.
Therefore, she was only doing this because Shen Yijia was Song Jingchen’s wife.
As Consort Jing, Shen Ruyun was also here today. However, she was sitting at the back. Seeing that Princess Linghui stopped after saying one sentence, she cursed in her heart. How useless.
Princess Linghui was not polite at all when she bullied her in the past.
After Imperial Concubine Liu pretended to reprimand Princess Linghui, she asked the nanny beside her to send Shen Yijia and Yuan Yuwan a brocade bag each before waving them off.
These brocade pouches were all prepared in advance. They were filled with trinkets that girls liked. If they caught the eye of the imperial concubine, she would give them one.
However, Shen Yijia and Shen Yijia were clearly not people she liked. At most, she was just trying to comfort Shen Yijia.
Because Yuan Yuwan was also here, she couldn’t leave her alone.
After leaving Eternal Spring Palace, Yuan Yuwan looked at the brocade bag in her hand with a faint smile and said, “I took advantage of you today.”
No matter how stupid Shen Yijia was, she knew that Yuan Yuwan said that because she was afraid that she would be embarrassed by what had happened just now, so she deliberately teased her.
She blinked and praised him sincerely. “You’re very good.”
Yuan Yuwan was stunned by her strange words. Then, she burst out laughing. “You’re also very cute. No wonder Ruoshui often talks about you to me.”
What Xiao Ruoshui told her was that Shen Yijia was strong and skilled in martial arts. She hit hard, and she was petty and unreasonable.
Before she saw her, she thought that she would be a strong person. She did not expect the opposite.
Shen Yijia did not believe that Xiao Ruoshui would say anything good about her.
As the two of them spoke, a young girl in front of them was escorted over.
Ji Yunxi was not wearing a veil today, but the flower bud on her forehead was too recognizable. Shen Yijia recognized it at a glance.
Although this flower bud could be seen everywhere now, there was still a difference between a fake and a real one.
Yuan Yuwan pulled Shen Yijia aside and bowed slightly. “Princess Yong’an.”
Ji Yunxi’s gaze paused on Shen Yijia’s face for a moment before looking at Yuan Yuwan. It was unknown what she saw, but a sympathetic expression appeared on her face. She nodded and left.
Shen Yijia had been paying attention to her, so she naturally saw her expression. She tilted her head and looked at Yuan Yuwan.
Sympathy? Why should there be sympathy?
“Is there something on my face?” Yuan Yuwan felt a little embarrassed under her gaze. She reached out and stroked her face.
Shen Yijia shook her head. “No.”
Next, Yuan Yuwan brought Shen Yijia around like a sister-in-law next door.
If she met someone with a high status, she would bring her far away if she could avoid them. If she couldn’t, she would introduce the other party’s identity in a low voice and bow to her.
Shen Yijia could still remember one or two of them, but in the end, she was completely stunned.
She decided not to waste her time thinking about it. She simply followed Yuan Yuwan.
“Sister Yuwan, Jiajia, why are you here? I’ve been looking for you.”
Before she arrived, the voice had already sounded. It was none other than Xiao Ruoshui, but there was a girl beside her.
Noticing that Xiao Ruoshui kept rolling her eyes at the girl, Shen Yijia immediately guessed who it was. It was Xiao Ruoqian.
Xiao Ruoshui ran all the way to the two of them. Xiao Ruoqian gritted her teeth and jogged behind them. She shouted breathlessly, “Sister, walk slower.”
“I told you not to follow me. Why did you have to follow me?” Xiao Ruoshui rolled her eyes again.
Xiao Ruoqian bit her lip. “Father agreed to let me come.”
When she said this, she looked like she was about to cry. Shen Yijia finally understood why Xiao Ruoshui didn’t like her.
Apart from being born by his concubine, it was probably related to her personality.
She didn’t like it either!
It would have been fine if she hadn’t said that. At the mention of General Xiao, Xiao Ruoshui exploded. “That’s right. You’re amazing. You can beg Father to let you enter the palace with him. Then go look for Father and let him bring you along. Why are you following me?”
Xiao Ruoqian blinked her watery eyes, looking like she was about to cry at any moment.
Xiao Ruoshui gritted her teeth. “What is this place? You’re crying. Are you trying to kill our family?”
On such a day, the young lady of the general’s residence was crying in the palace. Those who didn’t know better would think that the emperor had passed away and was crying.
Xiao Ruoqian was so frightened by her reminder that she instantly retracted her tears and looked innocent.
Shen Yijia was stunned and looked at Yuan Yuwan.
“How can this be?” she thought.
Impressive.
