This palace banquet was not as serious as he had imagined. Looking at everyone in the hall talking to each other, it felt a bit like a modern social gathering.

Ye Xiaoxiao muttered to herself in her heart, but her eyes kept moving among the crowd, observing everyone curiously.

Liu Yunniang sat quietly with a decent smile on her face.

Ye Xiaoxiao quietly pulled Yuemei's sleeve, motioned her to bend down, and asked softly about the identity of the lady she met when she entered the palace.

Yuemei lowered her head slightly, leaned close to Ye Xiaoxiao's ear, and whispered, "Miss, that lady is the second wife of the Minister of Personnel, Lord Shi, Xiao Jiang. The Minister of Personnel has a high position in the court, so this lady is naturally highly respected. She has always boasted of her beauty and is quite arrogant. She likes to compare with others on weekdays. Today, seeing that the lady and the young lady are so outstanding, she can't help but feel a little jealous, so she said those words."

Ye Xiaoxiao frowned slightly after hearing this and said, "Second wife? Xiao Jiang?"

Yuemei patiently explained, "Miss, the lady in front of Lord Shi is the elder sister of the current Xiao Jiang. It is said that when the elder Jiang was dying, she asked her family to send Xiao Jiang here, fearing that Lord Shi would treat his children harshly if he remarried. Xiao Jiang is beautiful and has a lot of ambition. As soon as she entered the mansion, she won over Lord Shi and he doted on her. Lord Shi is in charge of important matters such as the appointment and dismissal of officials and the assessment, and he has great power in the court. Therefore, Madam Jiang is also very influential among the noble ladies. With so many people flattering her, she naturally doesn't look down on others."

After all, Ye Xiaoxiao has read several novels about domestic intrigues. It might not be that easy for Xiao Jiang to ascend to the top, right?

According to the general plot, Oe's death might not be that simple.

To be honest, although Ye Xiaoxiao's life has not been smooth sailing since she came to this ancient time, she has never been bullied. Today, Jiang has ignited her fighting spirit.

While the big guys in the palace haven't appeared yet, she will practice on Jiang first.

Coincidentally, Xiao Jiang's position was just below Ye Xiaoxiao and the others.

Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes rolled and a plan came to her mind. She quietly pulled Yuemei over and whispered a few words in her ear. Yuemei was startled at first, then hesitated a little, but seeing Ye Xiaoxiao's determined eyes, she nodded.

Ye Xiaoxiao picked up the water cup in front of her, took a sip, and choked as if accidentally. She reached out to take the handkerchief in her sleeve, but accidentally threw it out, and it happened to fall on the skirt of Xiao Jiang next door.

Yuemei didn't care about anything else and quickly reached out to wipe it for her.

Liu Yunniang also hurriedly looked at Ye Xiaoxiao, fearing that she might make a mistake.

Ye Xiaoxiao coughed a few times, looking panicked, and quickly apologized to Xiao Jiang: "Madam, please don't blame me. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean it."

Xiao Jiang was already jealous of Liu Yunniang and her daughter, and now she was even more angry.

She frowned and looked at the handkerchief that fell on her skirt, a trace of disgust flashing in her eyes.

Seeing this, Liu Yunniang nodded to Xiao Jiang and said apologetically, "Madam Jiang, please don't be angry. Xiaoxiao is still young and doesn't understand much. If I have offended you, I hope you will forgive me."

Xiao Jiang looked at Liu Yunniang with a cold face, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, and she muttered to herself: "Sure enough, she is a wild child who doesn't know the rules. Like mother, like daughter!"

She sneered and said to Liu Yunniang in a cold tone: "Madam Liu, you have to teach your daughter a lesson. This is not the backyard of your Liu Mansion. You can't let her do whatever she wants. It's okay if she hits me, but if she accidentally offends some noble, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous. It's hard for Madam Liu. I'm afraid you don't have the energy to discipline your daughter alone."

The other party's malicious intentions were so obvious that Liu Yunniang didn't want to just go along with her, otherwise others would think she was easy to bully.

"Don't blame me, Madam Shi. My Xiaoxiao used too much force and accidentally hit your skirt. If you were really hurt by that handkerchief, I would ask His Majesty to ask the imperial physician to treat you. I will never let you suffer for this."

After hearing what Liu Yunniang said, Xiao Jiang's face became even uglier.

What does Liu mean? Is she saying that she deliberately blackmailed them mother and daughter?

"Madam Liu is really good at speaking. If your behavior gets out, won't people laugh at you?" Xiao Jiang said in a low voice, gritting her teeth.

"Madam Jiang, you are too kind. Xiaoxiao is just a child. She dropped her handkerchief in a hurry. Besides, everyone in the palace is a noble. I'm sure they won't bother with a child. Madam Jiang's health is more important. If it doesn't work, I will ask His Majesty to ask the imperial physician to treat you first, so as not to delay your illness."

"you......"

Seeing that someone in the hall had noticed them, Xiao Jiang didn't dare to continue pestering them. She pinched the handkerchief with her index finger and threw it at Ye Xiaoxiao's feet.

"Madam, don't be angry. Xiaoxiao will pay attention next time."

Ye Xiaoxiao quickly reached out to pick it up and stuffed it into her sleeve, as if she was really scared.

Xiao Jiang looked at Liu Yunniang and her daughter, and the anger in her heart was still difficult to calm down.

She glared at them fiercely, then snorted coldly and turned her head away from them.

She picked up the cup on the table and took a few sips, as if trying to calm the anger in her heart.

Seeing that Xiao Jiang had stopped her trouble, Liu Yunniang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to provoke others, but if she was bullied, she would never swallow her anger.

Ye Xiaoxiao watched Xiao Jiang drink the tea and was secretly delighted. It worked!

Haha, she secretly put a drug that can make you feel crazy on that handkerchief. As long as Xiao Jiang touches that handkerchief and drinks the water, the drug should be effective within half an hour.

Even if Xiao Jiang didn't reach out to touch it, it wouldn't matter. The potion would remain on her clothes and would still be effective, it would just take a little longer.

Sun Momo said that the banquet in the palace took a lot of time and would not be over so quickly.

This medicine is a new product she improved based on several prescriptions in the space!

As the name suggests, Mi Xin San can make people lose some of their rationality temporarily, but at the same time it can make people stay sober, and then they will speak the most true words in their hearts unscrupulously or release the greatest malice. It is somewhat like an upgraded version of the space truth potion.

This Xiao Jiangshi was just in time. I had been planning to have some fun for Princess Pingle at this palace banquet, and I was in need of someone to stir up trouble. Since Xiao Jiangshi liked to gossip so much, I would choose her!

Yuemei looked at her young lady's cunning face and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

The young lady is too bold. She just told me not to pick up the handkerchief she dropped. Although I don't understand it, I know that the young lady is determined to deal with Jiang.

She is really worried!
