Chapter 43
In the afternoon of the next day, Jiang Yu entered the palace to attend the banquet.

Bei State is still very open, and men and women sit opposite each other at banquets.

When Jiang Yu arrived, most of the ladies and sons of the aristocratic families had already arrived, because the banquet was not allowed to bring attendants, so Jiang Yu asked the resignation to wait in the mansion.

The Dehua palace is fragrant, and all kinds of gorgeous flowers are competing to bloom, and the plum blossoms in the courtyard stand proudly between the sky and the earth.

The person seated by the host has not yet arrived, Jiang Yu sat in the table and looked at the crowd calmly.

A series of coughing sounds accompanied by a faint herbal smell.A woman in a plain dress was helped in by a maid.

Seeing that it was the sick child of the Qiu family, the lady from the family next to her lowered her head and began to discuss in a low voice.

"The eldest lady of the Qiu family is relying on the love of the empress dowager, and is obsessed with His Royal Highness Chen Wang."

"Don't say that, everyone in the imperial city doesn't know that Miss Qiu and King Chen were married since childhood."

The woman was disdainful when she heard this, "Who doesn't know that Qiu Yao only has seven or eight years of life left, even her sick child is worthy of the title of Princess Chen."

Lin Yanan deliberately increased her voice so that everyone around her could hear, and then listened to the voices of everyone talking with satisfaction.

Cuizhu, the little maid beside Qiu Yao, was a little dissatisfied, how could the second miss of the Lin family slander my miss so much!

Feeling the strange gazes of the people around her, Qiu Yao seemed to be used to it, her expression was calm, but there was an unbearable gloom in the depths of her eyes.

Seeing this, the little servant girl was also very worried about Miss's health. She had been with Miss since she was a child, and she also knew that Miss and His Royal Highness Chen Wang were childhood sweethearts, and the marriage between the two was also arranged by the Empress Dowager herself.

She knew that the young lady had always loved His Highness Chen Wang, otherwise she would not have dragged her recovering body to attend the painting banquet, just to meet His Highness Chen Wang if possible.

"Miss, don't listen to their nonsense. Of course, Miss is in love with His Royal Highness Chen. There is no one in the world who is more worthy of His Highness Chen than Miss." The little maid couldn't help comforting her.

Qiu Yao smiled shallowly, but let the little maid help her to sit at the table, not wanting to talk too much with others.

Just when she was about to leave, she was stopped by Lin Yanan, she stood in front of Qiu Yao with an arrogant look, and looked at her sick and weak appearance with disdain.

"As long as you want to become Princess Chen, I advise you to withdraw from this marriage, so as not to embarrass Prince Chen."

Cuizhu had never seen such a shameless person, but the daughter of a third-rank official family dared to act presumptuously in front of the lady.

Just as she was about to speak, the lady stopped her by secretly grabbing her sleeve.

"My engagement with King Chen is the Queen Mother's order. If Miss Lin has any dissatisfaction, she can take advantage of today's banquet to ask the Queen Mother for instructions."

Qiu Yao was neither humble nor overbearing, her gentle words made Lin Yanan choke.

Angrily, Lin Yanan tightly clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand, a trace of fierceness flashed in her eyes.

This bitch!

"Sick people should stay at home and not come out, how unlucky they are."

Lin Yanan came to Qiu Yao's side and said softly, seeing Qiu Yao's face suddenly turned pale, she felt an inexplicable pleasure in her heart, she bumped Qiu Yao hard with her shoulder, and then proudly prepared to walk away.

Qiu Yao was caught off guard, staggered and was about to fall.

At this moment, a strong hand hugged her around the waist, and there was a burst of exclamation from around.

"His Royal Highness Chen Wang."

Miss Shijia looked jealously at Qiu Yao who was held in the arms of His Royal Highness Chen Wang.

"Are you OK."

Seeing Bei Youchen and the Empress Dowager beside him supporting the Empress Dowager, everyone saluted one after another.

"I have seen the Queen Mother, the Empress, and His Royal Highness Chen Wang."

There was a mass of people kneeling in the dark.

Bei Youchen looked at the person in his arms worriedly, with a tense look on his evil face, he lowered his voice, afraid of scaring the person in his arms, and asked in a soft voice as much as possible.

"Are you okay, what's wrong?"

Qiu Yao's expression was dazed, and she hadn't reacted yet, but when she heard the anxious and worried voice, she suddenly came back to her senses.

When she realized that she had stayed in King Chen's arms for so long under the watchful eyes of everyone, her little face turned red all of a sudden.

Get up quickly and reply shyly.

"Ahem... Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. The little girl is fine." When she was nervous, she coughed non-stop, with tears in her eyes, which made people feel distressed.

Bei Youchen patted her on the back worriedly, with distressed eyes.

Lin Yanan was extremely happy when she heard King Chen's voice, but when she turned her head, she saw that bitch Qiu Yao lying in His Highness Chen's arms.

A trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, and she bowed down along with the crowd unwillingly.

Bei Youchen was relieved after confirming that Qiu Yao was really fine, but when he thought of the abuse and humiliation he heard in the hall just now, his face darkened.

The Empress Dowager's complexion was also not very good-looking. I didn't expect these people to gossip like this behind their backs.She stepped forward and patted Qiu Yao's hand in distress.

"I've wronged you, Qiu girl."

Qiu Yao smiled, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and her voice was gentle.

"Qiu Yao is not wronged, I am very happy to be with my mother, Qiu Yao."

The Queen Mother took her hand in relief, she knew that Qiu girl was a drunkard and she didn't care about drinking, and she was afraid that she was thinking about that brat.

Qiu Yatou, who grew up watching her, has a gentle personality, and she would not speak out even if she was wronged.

The Queen Mother looked at Lin Yanan who was kneeling on the ground with a cold face.

She was the one who bullied Qiu girl just now.

The Queen Mother fought on the battlefield in her early years. Even though she has been ill for a long time and lived in the harem all these years, the coercion on her body is not something ordinary people can bear.

Lin Yanan was flustered, her breathing became more and more difficult, her face turned pale.

"What's your name? Look up and let Aijia see."

Lin Yanan raised her head tremblingly.

"My daughter Lin Yanan, my father Lin Dongxiang."

"It turned out to be the daughter of Master Lin, Minister of the Household Department. She acted recklessly and had no rules. It really opened the eyes of the Ai family!"

Lin Yanan broke out in a cold sweat and quickly knelt on the ground.

"The empress dowager forgives the sin, and the minister's daughter also made an unintentional mistake."

The Queen Mother also didn't want to make things embarrassing. The various families that the emperor dealt with just a few days ago were at a time when people were panicking.

The queen also saw that the queen mother didn't want to make a big deal, so she suggested.

"Queen mother, please calm down. It's hard for us to hold a banquet today so it can't be unpleasant. According to my concubine, how about going to Yunyin Temple for Dallin's daughter to reflect on her mistakes?"

The Queen Mother's complexion improved slightly.

"Then according to what the queen said, the daughter of the Lin family does not know how to behave, and she will be punished in Yunyin Temple to reflect on her mistakes."

Lin Yanan gritted her teeth, as if she had exhausted all her strength, and struggled to utter five words

"Thank you, Empress Dowager."

A farce came to an end, and everyone thought about it.

The queen mother was sitting on the main seat, watching the little girl beside her secretly glance at that brat from time to time, her mind was not here at all.

Helpless sigh.

That's all, female college students don't want to stay.

She lovingly touched Qiu Yatou's hand, and beckoned her brat to come over.

He said angrily, "Hurry up and take your wife away, eyes are almost growing on you."

Qiu Yao immediately blushed.

Bei Youchen was slightly stunned, and his beautiful eyes were stained with a pleasant smile.Facing the blushing little girl, he bent down and stretched out his hand in a gentle and gentlemanly manner.

"My son obeys the order."
