Chapter 7
March 40th was Princess Changxing's [-]th birthday, and all the masters of the Jiang family, big and small, were invited.

In addition, Princess Changxing also specially posted posts for Mrs. Qi, mother and son.

Mrs. Jiang was talking to Mrs. Qi about the banquet at Changxing Palace tomorrow.

Since it was the first time for the siblings to visit such a family as Changxing Palace, Mrs. Qi was afraid that her children would be wronged, so she wanted to ask Madam Jiang to explain the rules of the palace.

In addition to letting them know about the situation in the palace, Mrs. Jiang also picked out some things that need attention, and Mrs. Qi was relieved.

Changxing Prince's Mansion was full of holy family members, and Princess Changxing's 40th birthday banquet was very lively. All the nobles who were invited came to the banquet one after another, and those who were not invited also gave birthday gifts.

In addition, the palace also rewarded many things.

At this birthday banquet, the Jiang family, who will soon become the in-laws of the Changxing Palace, was very eye-catching.

Although the Jiang family is considered a second-rate family in Kyoto, the highest-ranking Jiang Er in the family is only a fourth-rank official.

But the old man of the Jiang family once fought with the Taizu to conquer the world and made great contributions.It's just that Mrs. Jiang left too early, so the Jiang family failed to enter the ranks of first-class families.

Many people don't understand why the Jiang family married Changxing Palace.

Jiang Liangyu was born in Jiang's family. He has profound talents and knowledge. After graduating from Danfeng Academy, he passed the Jinshi examination. Now he is working in Imperial Academy. His future is limitless.

However, although Princess Qingyang is a princess, she is a widow. Even if she is the most beloved daughter of King Changxing and Princess Wang, it cannot change the fact that she was married.

No matter what outsiders guessed, the marriage contract between the two families was still settled.

Just after the engagement was made, Princess Changxing heard that Mrs. Jiang's younger sister had defected to her with a pair of children. The son was still young, but the daughter was seventeen and unmarried.

When Princess Changxing heard the news for the first time, she felt a little uncomfortable.Taking advantage of my 40th birthday, I decided to see the cousin of the Qi family with my own eyes.

That's why the Qi family's mother and son got the post from the Changxing Palace.

Qi Tanying was also personally summoned by Princess Changxing.

Princess Changxing is a middle-aged woman with an ordinary appearance, but there is a kind of calm and prestige in her gestures. Although there is a smile on her face, that smile makes people very uncomfortable.

When Qi Tanying heard that Princess Changxing summoned her, she had already guessed her purpose.My aunt said that Princess Changxing knew that she had been engaged to Jiang Liangyu.

Although the engagement between the two has been broken off, and Jiang Liangyu also has an engagement with Princess Qingyang, it is obvious that Princess Changxing is not at ease with herself.

After Qi Tanying greeted her, she looked at her unscrupulously for a long time.

Then he asked a lot of questions about Jiang Liangyu, which made Qi Tanying very annoyed, so he had to say that he always regarded Jiang Liangyu as his elder brother.

Princess Changxing was obviously satisfied with this answer, and said to Princess Qingyang who was sitting beside her, "Brother Liang is a good brother, and you will also be a good sister-in-law in the future."

Princess Qingyang blushed and nodded.

Because of Qi Tanying's wit and interest, Princess Changxing rewarded her with many things, which made the ladies who came to the banquet envious and curious.

Someone asked around who she was, and when they learned that she was just a cousin who came from a small place, they couldn't help but have a hint of contempt in their words.

Qi Tanying doesn't care about other people's contempt, after all, she is not in the same circle as them.

On the contrary, Jiang Zhi and Jiang Mei were afraid of her restraint, so they stayed by her side all the time.

Qi Tanying saw the two little girls absent-minded, and asked them to find their friends to play.Jiang Zhi and Jiang Mei refused, and they were willing to go only after she persuaded them repeatedly.

After the two sisters left, Qi Tanying was a little worried about Qi Yukun, so she asked Ting Lan to quietly go to the front yard to have a look.

Then he found a secluded place to wait for her.

Not long after Ting Lan left, there was a faint whimpering sound in his ears. Qi Tanying stopped to listen carefully, and found that the sound came from a rockery nearby.

I didn't want to be nosy at first, but the sound became louder and louder, Qi Tanying hesitated for a moment before walking towards the rockery.

Behind the rockery, a thin little girl fell to the ground, her hair was disheveled, her face was pale, and there were two obvious tear marks on her cheeks.

Seeing this, Qi Tanying hurried to help her, but the little girl shrank back, with a trace of panic and guard on her face.

Feeling compassionate, Qi Tanying reached out to her again, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

Maybe it was because her voice was too gentle, or maybe she realized that she was not a threat to him, so the little girl slowly put her hand on hers.

Qi Tanying gently pulled her up, saw that she was crying, and wiped her face with a handkerchief.

"Are you also a guest at the palace, where is your lord?"

Although the little girl was dirty all over, the material of her dress was not ordinary.Qi Tanying guessed that she should be a young guest who came to the banquet.

The little girl nodded when she heard the words, then kept shaking her head, but refused to speak.

Qi Tanying asked several times, but the little girl just stared at her quietly.

Qi Tanying felt a little difficult, and planned to find a maid from the palace to help her find her family.

At this moment, she saw someone approaching. The man looked solemn and kept looking around, as if he was looking for something.

Qi Tanying picked up the little girl, pointed at that person and asked, "Is he here to look for you?"

The little girl's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly.

Qi Tanying put her down, "Master, the person you are looking for is here."

The man in Tsing Yi walked towards her quickly upon hearing the sound.

Qi Tanying quickly sized him up, seeing that he was somewhat similar to the little girl's appearance, she didn't know who he was from the little girl.

She said to the visitor: "When I found her, she was sitting on the ground crying, there was no servant around her, and she didn't say anything when I asked her."

The man in Tsing Yi picked up the little girl, "Thank you for your help. My younger sister is naughty and likes to play without her servants. She must have climbed a rockery and fell."

Speaking of this, he patted the little girl's head pityingly, "Sister She has been unable to speak since she was born with a serious illness, it's not that she doesn't want to speak."

Qi Tanying heard the words and looked at the little girl, only to see that she was hugging her brother's neck tightly, and when she noticed her gaze, she grinned at her.

Qi Tanying was feeling sorry for the little girl, when she heard the man in Tsing Yi announce his family name: "My name is Jiao Huaijin, I wonder which family the girl is from?"

Jiao Huaijin?The name sounded familiar, Qi Tanying recalled it in her mind, and suddenly remembered Mrs. Jiang's warning.

King Changxing has a main concubine and two concubines. The main concubine has a son and a daughter, the eldest son Jiao Huaiyu and Qingyang Princess Jiao Hui, and the side concubine also has a son and a daughter. The second son Jiao Huaijin and the second girl Jiao Lian.

In the Changxing Palace, the side concubine Wu is the most favored by the Changxing king. The Changxing king loves Wu and Wu, and even the sons and daughters of the side concubine Wu are more favored than the sons and daughters of the main concubine.The second girl is anxious and pitiful, and Yuxue is cute, and she is the most beloved by King Changxing and Concubine Wu.

Before coming to the palace, Mrs. Jiang had repeatedly warned them that Princess Changxing was the head of the palace, and they must not interact with people from the side concubine, so as not to make the princess unhappy.

Qi Tanying didn't want people to know that she helped Jiao Lian, and she didn't want Jiao Huaijin to know her identity, so she randomly made up a name to perfuse her.

Qi Tanying didn't take this matter to heart, and then the servant girl Ting Lan came over, "Girl, this servant bumped into Mr. Third Biao earlier, and he asked this servant to give you a message."

"What did he say?"

"The third cousin said, don't worry about the young master, he will take good care of the young master."

After hearing this, Qi Tanying only felt it was funny. Her younger brother was well-behaved and sensible, never causing trouble, so she had nothing to worry about.But he himself, Jiang Mei and Jiang Zhi have revealed all his "great achievements" since he came to Jiang's house.

What Qi Tanying didn't know was that Jiang Zhenyu was really kind to Qi Yukun. Seeing that Qi Yukun didn't want to stay with his friends, she resolutely abandoned them and led him to join the circle of scholars with a cheek.

Jiang Zhenyu is ignorant, but Qi Yukun is a genuine scholar. Although he is young, he has solid knowledge and is about to enroll in Danfeng Academy.Even if his family background is not obvious, there are still people who are willing to make friends with him.

After returning from the palace, Qi Tanying couldn't help being a little surprised when she heard her younger brother talking about this matter.

Qi Yukun thought of Jiang Zhenyu's efforts to recommend himself to others, and couldn't help saying: "Although the third cousin doesn't like reading, he has a sincere heart to treat others."

He decided to take back the prejudice against him earlier.
