The Evil Emperor's Favorite: The Sickly and Poisonous Concubine Goes Crazy

After breakfast the next day, Su Luoshu took Su Jingning to Jiang Mansion.

Jiang Mansion and Duke Qing's Mansion were on the same street, and at this time, the gate of Duke Qing's Mansion was already full of cars and sedans, while no one was interested in the gate of Jiang Mansion.

Jiang Mansion.

"I told you not to hold the birthday party, but Third Sister refused to listen. Look at how crowded the gate of Duke Qing is, and then look at us here. It's so embarrassing!" A girl in a purple dress said in a harsh tone, looking angrily at the girl sitting quietly in the corner.

"That's right, Third Sister. You already know that your birthday party coincides with Miss Shen's poetry tea party, yet you still insisted on asking Mother to host it. Now no one wants to come to our Jiang Mansion, and the Jiang Mansion is losing face." The girl in pink butterfly clothes who was sitting next to the girl in purple also mocked and blamed.

Mrs. Jiang sat at the top, with a sullen face and did not speak.

The two people who were talking were the eldest and second daughters of the Jiang family. They were born to Lord Jiang's second wife and had disliked the third daughter of the legitimate wife, Jiang Heling, since childhood.

Jiang Heling didn't say anything, but she twisted her hand tightly around the handkerchief. She didn't want to hold this birthday party in the first place, but they insisted on holding it for her, using her reputation to get attention. Many noble ladies in Beijing were going to come, but who knew that Miss Shen next door suddenly wanted to hold a poetry and tea party, which coincided with her birthday party. Now that everyone has gone to the Duke of Qing's Mansion, no one wants to come to the Jiang Mansion, so she blames herself.

Her elder brother was not around, her father didn't care about her, and no one could protect her, so she could only endure it.

On the street outside Jiang's house, the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo's house suddenly stopped halfway through the journey. Su Jingning lifted the curtain to see what was going on. It was two carriages that met, and the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo's house gave way to the carriage on the opposite side, allowing it to enter the alley where Jiang's house was located first.

The oncoming carriage was luxurious and expensive, and behind it was a team of palace guards, majestic and domineering. When Su Jingning lifted the curtain of the carriage, he was seen by the people in the carriage. In the carriage was Princess Xuyang Mu Xi, who looked unhappy and was a little surprised when she saw her.

"Jingning!" Mu Xi stopped the carriage and smiled at her.

Su Jingning didn't expect her to call him suddenly, so he bowed to her.

"Are you also going to Shen Zhiyi's poetry tea party?" she asked Su Jingning.

Su Jingning shook his head and said softly, "Today is the birthday banquet of Miss Jiang San, the Minister of Rites. My sister and I are going to the Jiang Mansion."

After listening to her, Mu Xi asked with a frown, "Miss Jiang San's birthday? But the Jiang Mansion next to the Duke of Qing's Mansion?"

"Yes." Su Jingning replied.

"I'll go to Jiang Mansion with you!" Mu Xi suddenly said.

She went to Qi's house to look for Qi Nanfeng, but she didn't expect that he actually went to the Qingguo Mansion to attend Shen Zhiyi's poetry tea party without her knowledge. Because the prize of the poetry tea party was a relic of the previous dynasty's calligraphy master, Qi Nanfeng was a bookworm, so he went to the Qingguo Mansion. She wanted to go to the Qingguo Mansion to pick him up, but she didn't expect to run into Su Jingning, so she let Qi Nanfeng go for the time being, so as to avoid the trouble of going to the Qingguo Mansion.

Su Jingning didn't expect Mu Xi to suddenly say that he wanted to go to Jiang Mansion, and he didn't react for a moment.

"I'll go and wait for you first." Mu Xi smiled at her and ordered the guards to go to Jiang Mansion.

In front of the Duke of Qing's mansion, Shen Zhiyi heard that Princess Xuyang's carriage was coming to the Duke of Qing's mansion, and hurried out to greet her. She handed Princess Xuyang an invitation, but she didn't expect Princess Xuyang to come. Princess Xuyang never attended private banquets, and she didn't expect that she would come to her poetry and tea banquet today. So, Shen Zhiyi went out triumphantly under the congratulations of everyone and greeted her at the door.

In the corner behind her, Qi Nanfeng looked at the slowly approaching carriage with a face full of horror. It's over, Mu Xi must know that I came to the Duke of Qing's mansion secretly. She hates the Shen family so much, this time, she will beat me half to death. Is it too late to escape now?

"Welcome Princess Xuyang!" Shen Zhiyi stood in front of the crowd and saluted the carriage which had not yet stopped. His voice was a little loud because he was a little proud.

Then, everyone saw the gorgeous and precious carriage pass by Shen Zhiyi without hesitation, and drove straight to the Jiang Mansion on the opposite side of the street. It slowly stopped in front of the Jiang Mansion.

Shen Zhiyi stood awkwardly in front of the crowd, his face flushed, listening to the whispers of people behind him.

"Ah, isn't Princess Xuyang here to attend Miss Shen's poetry and tea party?"

"Yes, why did she go to Jiang's house?"

"Oh, by the way, I heard that today is Miss Jiang San's birthday."

Shen Zhiyi was just about to call everyone back to do it, but unexpectedly, a low-key and luxurious carriage drove past him with the sign of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. His face suddenly turned dark.

"Did people from the Zhenguo Mansion also go to the Jiang Mansion?"

"It seems to be the second and fourth young ladies of the Su family."

Everyone looked at Su Jingning and Su Luoshu who got off the car in front of Jiang Mansion and said.

"Jingning!" Mu Xi was waiting for Su Jingning in front of the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion with a warm smile. Looking at Su Jingning, who was wearing a light blue orchid dress, petite and weak, with a cold and elegant temperament, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes. She was so beautiful.

"Greetings, Princess Xuyang." Su Jingning bowed to her, his voice soft.

Mu Xi took a step forward, grabbed her hand, and smiled gently: "No need to be polite."

"When there's no one around, just call me by my name like Jingmo does." Then he winked at her and whispered. Mu Xi liked Su Jingning very much. She looked soft, tender, pretty and cute.

"Yes."

Ever since they had dinner together last time, Su Jingning had a favorable impression of this princess of noble birth.

"By the way, Princess, this is my sister, Su Luoshu. Shu'er, meet Princess Xuyang." Su Jingning introduced Su Luoshu, who seemed a little uncomfortable seeing the princess, to Mu Xi.

"Meet Princess Xuyang."

Mu Xi looked at the girl standing next to Su Jingning. Su Luoshu, who was dressed in blue, was neat and generous, with delicate features and a hint of heroic spirit between her eyebrows. She was also a likable girl.

"Your sister is as pretty as you." She looked at Su Luoshu and praised Su Jingning without any concealment.

"Princess, thank you for your praise!" Su Jingning felt a little embarrassed.

"Princess, second sister, let's go in. The banquet is about to begin." Su Luoshu looked at the people in front of the Duke of Qing's mansion and felt a little uncomfortable. Pulling Su Jingning to say this, Shen Zhiyi's eyes were about to burst into anger.

Shen Zhiyi looked at Su Jingning, who was behaving intimately with Princess Xuyang, with hatred in her eyes. Damn Su Jingning! It was she who caused her to injure her hand. Her left hand could no longer hold the zither. Brother Prince Chen even wanted to thank Su Jingning himself! Humph, if it weren't for Su Jingning, how could her hand be injured? She hadn't gone to trouble her yet, but she came to her door first!

"Ms. Shen, I suddenly remembered that Miss Jiang also invited me to her birthday party. I'll go over first. I'll bother you next time I come to your house." When Qi Nanchuan saw Mu Xi and Su Jingning went to Jiang's house, he couldn't stay there anymore. With Su Jingning there, maybe Mu Xi would forgive him, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Shen Zhiyi.

"Hey, Mr. Qi..." Shen Zhiyi was about to try to persuade him to stay, but Qi Nanfeng ran away like grease.

Then, the nobles who were originally in Duke Qing found excuses to go to the Jiang Mansion. Even the princess of the current emperor was friends with Miss Jiang San, so of course they had to go to the Jiang family. It would be even better if they could talk to Princess Xuyang.

Shen Zhiyi watched as the people she invited went to Jiang Mansion one by one, her face becoming terribly dark.

"Laifu! Prepare the gifts, we will go to Jiang's house too!"

"Ah, Miss, the poetry tea party is not going to be held?" Lai Fu looked surprised.

"What to do? What to do? Everyone has gone there!" Shen Zhi's face turned pale with anger and he walked towards the Jiang family angrily.
