The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

The banquet was bustling with people, no different from usual. Everyone was quietly waiting for the arrival of the princess. After she took her seat, a group of well-trained maids filed in and began to serve the dishes. Jiang Li stared at the delicious dishes that were served one after another, his eyes flashing with excitement, and he did not hide his desire and expectation for the food.

After all, the banquet hosted by the eldest princess was well-known throughout the Shang Dynasty, and its scale and luxury were comparable to those of the palace banquets. Since she had the honor of attending the banquet, Jiang Li would naturally not miss this great opportunity to feast on the feast, and she wanted to enjoy this sumptuous meal to her heart's content.

Since it was a spring banquet, there would naturally be singing and dancing performances, which had almost become a standard feature of banquets in the capital. However, Jiang Li had no intention of participating in it. She sat there leisurely, savoring the delicious food on the table while enjoying the singing and dancing feast on the stage.

The noble ladies knew that this opportunity was rare, and they tried their best to attract the attention of the three royal children present. After all, if they could get the favor of a royal child, they might become royal relatives and change their own and their family's fate.

On the stage, the singing was melodious, the dancing was graceful, and the beauty was beyond measure. The noble ladies were dressed in gorgeous clothes, competing with each other for beauty like blooming flowers. They danced lightly, played the strings of the harp, or sang loudly, trying their best to show their most charming side.

Jiang Li sat quietly at the side with a faint smile on her face. She was not eager to show herself, but rather enjoyed the lively performance as a spectator. For her, such occasions were more of a way to relax and have fun, rather than to strive for status or glory.

"I wish Her Royal Highness the Princess good health and a long life!" A gentle voice seemed particularly kind, as if it could melt people's hearts.

"Which family are you from? You are so gentle and charming." The eldest princess asked softly with a loving face.

"My little girl Liu Jiaojiao pays homage to the eldest princess!" Liu Jiaojiao bowed gracefully. Her white dress, which was whiter than snow, made her figure even more graceful. She instantly became the focus of the whole audience.

"Oh, so you are the beloved daughter of Minister Liu. I remember that you are also the granddaughter of Duke Xu?" The eldest princess looked at the delicate and lovely woman in front of her, her eyes full of admiration.

"My little girl...my little girl..." Liu Jiaojiao suddenly stuttered, and her already pale face became even more embarrassed. Because she knew very well how humble her status as a concubine was in front of these dignitaries, and she was afraid that she could not be compared with other noble daughters.

For a moment, the whole scene fell into a delicate atmosphere, and everyone cast their eyes on Liu Jiaojiao, some curious, some sympathetic, and some with a bit of contempt. Liu Jiaojiao lowered her head, holding the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, secretly regretting why she was so careless and showed such an embarrassing state in front of the princess.

At this moment, several eyes were also cast on Madam Liu and Liu Jingyun beside her. They both looked angry, but the upbringing they received as daughters of noble families quickly calmed their anger. So, they stood up together in the center and bowed to the eldest princess.

"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Forget it, get up quickly." The eldest princess cast her gaze at Liu Jingyun who was standing beside Madam Liu, and instantly understood everything.

"This must be Jingyun. Well, a girl really changes a lot when she grows up. Now she has grown into a graceful young lady." The princess looked at the cold Liu Jingyun and nodded with satisfaction. She was quite impressed with the Xu family's education. She also knew a little about the Liu family.

Then, the princess turned to Madam Liu and said, "Why not invite your mother to come over someday to drink tea with me and reminisce about the past. When people get older, they always miss those close friends from the past."

"Mother also often talks about the eldest princess!" Madam Liu also answered in the same way. Madam Liu glanced at Liu Jiaojiao beside her and snorted in her heart, thinking that this concubine's daughter sneaked away from behind when she and her daughter were not paying attention. How bold!

"This is my master's concubine's daughter. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Princess." Madam Liu told the truth about Liu Jiaojiao's identity. But in Liu Jiaojiao's opinion, it was clearly Madam's intention to humiliate her and make her lose face in front of everyone.

"Oh!" The princess only responded lightly, and one word clearly expressed her indifference to Liu Jiaojiao. Liu Jiaojiao felt disappointed, but she still pulled herself together and prepared to perform well, hoping to attract the princess's attention.

"Okay, if you want to perform, then perform well." The princess glanced at Liu Jiaojiao casually, and then nodded to Madam Liu and her daughter. Madam Liu and her daughter quickly stood up, bowed slightly to show respect, and then sat back in their seats. At this time, Liu Jiaojiao regained her courage and decided to use her best dance to attract everyone's attention.

She danced gracefully. She was wearing a long white dress with fluttering sleeves, like a fairy descending from the earth. Her movements were light and graceful, sometimes she lifted her legs, sometimes she jumped, and when she turned and stretched, she revealed an indescribable charm. Many young men present were attracted by her dancing and stared at her intently. Even several princes could not help but look at her sideways, especially the third prince.

"Why does the third prince like this beautiful young lady? Tell father to marry him." The second prince smiled and looked at the third prince. Did you hear that? Yes, marry him.

"Royal brother, please be careful with your words. You have tarnished the reputation of the young lady for nothing." The third prince said calmly, but the stars in his eyes revealed everything. The second prince moved his lips.

"Liu Jiaojiao, her name suits her. She is a delicate girl." The eldest prince Mu Feng drank the wine in his glass and looked at the figure in white dancing in the center.

Liu Jiaojiao was secretly proud of herself, she felt that her goal had been achieved. She believed that as long as she could attract the attention of these powerful people, her future would be bright. However, she did not notice that the eldest princess always kept a kind of indifference in her eyes. For the eldest princess, she had seen many such people.
