The daughter of the mansion is slapped in the face every day

"Your Majesty has arrived..."

"The Queen Mother has arrived..."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived..."

"The Queen has arrived..."

The sound of messages came one after another and resounded throughout the hall.

Everyone at the table stood up.

In order to show his filial piety, Emperor Zhao Changta helped Jiang Xueyi to his seat and let her sit down first before he climbed onto the dragon throne and sat down.

Jiang Yunxi, along with everyone else in the hall, saluted Emperor Zhao Changta, Empress Dowager Jiang Xueyi, Crown Prince Zhao Zheqi and Queen Meng Jingshu in turn.

Zhao Changta had an unconcealable smile on his face and waved his hand, "My dear ministers, please stand up. Today is my birthday. Thank you for celebrating with me. There is no need to be formal today."

Queen Mother Jiang Xueyi took the lead in giving Zhao Changta several Buddhist scriptures that she had copied by hand.

Queen Meng Jingshu gave Zhao Changta clothes that she had sewn herself.

After Zhao Changyu, the princes, and Princess Wen Ya presented their birthday gifts, Jiang Yunxi stood up and bowed to Zhao Changta.

"Everything Yunxi has was given by His Majesty. Yunxi really can't think of what His Majesty still needs. Yunxi only knows some simple embroidery, so I embroidered a landscape painting and came to give it to His Majesty."

The eunuchs slowly unfolded the embroidery.

In the picture, the mountains are covered with snow, the forests and springs are echoing, the blue lake is clear, and all things are reflected. This small space is a paradise.

What a vivid landscape painting!

Looking at the unfolded embroidery, Zhao Changta's eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded, "Yun Xi is really modest, this embroidery is truly exquisite. I like it very much, come and give it a taste!"

What made Zhao Changta happy was not Jiang Yunxi's painting, but Jiang Yunxi's words.

"Everything Jiang Yunxi has is a reward from your majesty."

Zhao Changta found this sentence very pleasing to the ear.

Jiang Yunxi naturally knew what the emperor liked to hear, so she just said those words.

"Yun Xi thanks your majesty for the reward."

Jiang Yunxi put on a decent smile and slowly walked back to her seat.

Out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of an unfriendly look coming from the table opposite her.

After Jiang Yunxi sat down, he slowly raised his eyes and looked across.

The person looking at her was Zhao Zheyong.

Jiang Yunxi sensed the hostility in Zhao Zheyong's eyes and realized that Zhao Zheyong at least knew that she was protecting Jiang Youfei and Jiang Youcai.

I'm afraid that Concubine Xian told Zhao Zheyong about this.

Jiang Yunxi glanced at the virtuous concubine Wei Yanyan.

She thought, since Zhao Zheyong suspected her, she should find a better reason so that Zhao Zheyong would not think too much.

Jiang Yunxi's gaze passed over Zhao Zheyong and looked at Jiang Wanwan behind Zhao Zheyong.

She didn't expect that Jiang Wanwan, whose appearance was so ruined, would still dare to wander around the palace.

However, Jiang Yunxi did see that the left side of her face was flawless. He suddenly remembered what Nan Nan had said before, that Jiang Wanwan had found the makeup lady at Qin Lou to learn how to put on makeup, and he knew that she had deliberately covered up the scar on her face.

Jiang Wanwan even dared to cover up the tattoo granted by the emperor. She was probably not familiar with the law and didn't know what the consequences of doing so would be.

Because of the baby in Jiang Wanwan's belly, although everyone knew that this was a sinful act, they turned a blind eye and did not mention the matter for the time being.

Jiang Wanwan's belly was slightly bulging and her face looked a little tired.

Zhao Ya turned around and spoke to Jiang Yunxi, deliberately raising her voice, "To attend such a ceremony, he brought a concubine who is not worthy of being on the stage. It seems that Third Brother really loves Concubine Jiang."

The corners of Jiang Yunxi's mouth curled up slightly, thinking that there was no main wife in Zhao Zheyong's courtyard, and the other concubines didn't even have a proper status. If Zhao Zheyong wanted to bring someone with him, he could only bring Jiang Wanwan.

But... Zhao Zheyong could have found an excuse saying that Jiang Wanwan was pregnant and not feeling well, so she couldn't attend. But he still brought Jiang Wanwan here.

Maybe he really has deep feelings for Jiang Wanwan?

After hearing what Zhao Ya said, Zhao Zheyong just smiled faintly and said nothing.

He knew that because of Jiang Wanwan's matter, His Majesty had to take care of the Queen Mother's face, so he had to be punished. But the punishment had been done, and it was also true that he had made great contributions in Daizhou. After a period of time, when the matter of Jiang Wanwan was settled, he would naturally be reused.

As long as he gets through this period peacefully and doesn't make any mistakes.

Therefore, he kept a low profile and did not take the challenge.

The emperor was talking to the empress and the virtuous concubine and did not notice the movement here.

Jiang Yunxi did not respond, but the others sitting next to Zhao Ya heard what Zhao Ya said and began to fan the flames.

The eldest prince Zhao Zhexuan sneered, "Third brother has always been very romantic. There are the most unofficial female relatives in this palace, not to mention the countless beauties outside the palace. Concubine Jiang is really amazing. She became the only female relative with an official status in Third brother's palace."

These words are full of sarcasm.

It not only mocked her for having a child without any legal status, but also mocked her for using the child to force Zhao Zheyong to marry her.

But Jiang Wanwan was not as calm as Zhao Zheyong. When she heard what they said, her face turned red and white. She wanted to refute, but she didn't dare to lose her temper in such a grand occasion, as it would seem that she was ignorant of etiquette and would lose face for the Third Prince Zhao Zheyong.

Her eyes fell on Zhao Zheyong, begging him to speak up for her.

But Zhao Zheyong said nothing.

Jiang Wanwan bit her lips tightly and endured the breath.

In her heart, she blamed Zhao Ya and Zhao Zhexuan for embarrassing her in public.

He even blamed Zhao Zheyong for not speaking up for him.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have come. If Lan'er hadn't said that attending such an important banquet could demonstrate my status, I wouldn't have come. Am I a lowly person? Do I come here just to be humiliated by you?" Jiang Wanwan thought in self-deprecation and turned to glare at Lan'er.

Lan'er was stunned, and felt that Jiang Wanwan was inexplicably confused. She thought to herself, "Jiang Wanwan is such a coward. She doesn't dare to refute anything and only dares to vent her anger on me."

Jiang Wanwan thought that in the Third Prince's Palace, she was laughed at by those beauties every day. If she was not satisfied, she could still rage by relying on her position.

But now, facing the powerful prince and princess, she could do nothing without Zhao Zheyong to defend her.

The more Jiang Wanwan thought about what Zhao Ya and Zhao Zheyong had said, the more aggrieved she felt. She took out a handkerchief, carefully dipped it into the tears from the corners of her eyes, and began to sob softly.

Zhao Zheyong heard the crying behind him and felt unlucky. He turned around and scolded her, "Why are you crying? It's such a good day. Do you want to offend His Majesty? If you don't want to stay here, go back."

There wasn't a trace of sympathy in his tone; it was simply worry that he would be implicated by Jiang Wanwan.

Jiang Wanwan was so frightened by his anger that she choked and for a moment she didn't even dare to cry.

Jiang Yunxi looked at them coldly, despising them in her heart: "In your previous life, you ignored ethics and insisted on being together, even going so far as to get rid of me as a stumbling block. Now that I have brought you together, why don't you put on a show of love in front of me?"
