My bad father married a princess, my mother divorced me, and I became the group's favorite

The atmosphere at the banquet was slightly stagnant due to the Queen Mother's cold snort, but soon returned to its superficial liveliness.

But no one knows what everyone is thinking.

Seeing how the Queen Mother treated Princess Pingle so disrespectfully and without any regard for His Majesty, Ye Xiaoxiao actually admired her in her heart.

This old woman is really stubborn!

No matter how displeased the Queen Mother was, the palace maids began to serve food to everyone in an orderly manner. Exquisite dishes were placed in front of everyone. No one knew how they tasted, but Ye Xiaoxiao had to admit that it was indeed the imperial chef. The dishes were as beautiful as flowers.

Liu Yunniang lowered her head slightly, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible. Today, His Majesty was protecting her and her daughter, which might have made the Queen Mother even more unhappy.

Ye Xiaoxiao also sat obediently aside, but her eyes looked around curiously from time to time.

Xiao Mu looked at the mother and daughter, both of whom looked cautious, with his brows furrowed and a wave of heartache in his heart.

He was worried that the Queen Mother would make things difficult for Liu Yunniang, so he specifically asked His Majesty to protect Liu and her daughter at the banquet today.

Emperor Jingxuan looked at Xiao Mu's moved expression and couldn't help feeling a little amused and relieved.

Unexpectedly, this thousand-year-old iron tree actually bloomed!

Fortunately, I reminded him last time, but he still refused to admit it. In just a few days, he was already worrying about others.

In that case, he is still the matchmaker between Xiao Mu and Liu, so he should drink a glass of matchmaker wine.

He recalled a similar experience he had when he was young, when he had also pursued his beloved so desperately.

But now, he had finally betrayed the woman in his heart.

"Now that I understand your intentions, I will definitely not let them and their daughter suffer any injustice! Don't worry! If you are worried, you can come to the banquet together!"

As a result, Xiao Mu, who always disliked socializing, made a rare appearance at the Queen's birthday banquet.

The palace maids continued to move around the table in an orderly manner, adding dishes and pouring wine for the distinguished guests.

The exquisite dishes exuded an enticing aroma, but no one had the heart to savor them carefully at the moment.

Ye Xiaoxiao has always been a greedy person, so of course she wouldn't be polite. But as soon as she took a bite of the dish, she suddenly began to feel sorry for Emperor Jingxuan.

After all, you are the king of a country. What do you eat every day?

How pitiful! Ye Xiaoxiao muttered to herself as she ate the food in front of her.

How pitiful!

She really couldn't imagine that these dishes looked very exquisite, but the taste was really not good. Ye Xiaoxiao didn't know, of course, that the dishes at this banquet were not as good as the ones His Majesty usually ate. These dishes had been brought all the way from the imperial kitchen and had long lost their original color, aroma and taste.

Take the steamed sea bass for example. The fish meat, which should have been tender and juicy, seemed a little dry. The braised pork, although attractive in color, was too greasy and lacked fragrance. As for the stir-fried vegetables, they were completely cold and tasted bland.

Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think of the meals she usually eats. Those simple yet homely foods are the delicacies that can truly touch people's hearts.

In comparison, these royal delicacies before us seemed merely superficial.

At this moment, Princess Pingle suddenly covered her mouth and her face turned pale.

Then, she stood up suddenly and vomited. Everyone was stunned by this sudden change and didn't know what to do for a while.

The Queen Mother shouted in panic, "Quick, call the imperial physician!"

As the previous leader of the palace fight, she naturally subconsciously thought of assassination, fearing that something unexpected would happen to Princess Pingle.

The palace maids hurried out to find the imperial physician, and the banquet was in chaos.

Princess Pingle's maids quickly helped her sit down and wiped the corners of her mouth.

The Queen also looked worried as she looked towards Emperor Jingxuan.

Emperor Jingxuan frowned slightly and looked at Princess Pingle with contempt. The Queen was always paying attention to His Majesty, so she naturally noticed his look at the first moment and was secretly surprised!

Your Majesty, do you know anything?

The eyes of everyone in the hall were also filled with confusion and worry.

They didn't know why Princess Pingle suddenly vomited. Was she feeling unwell or was she really the victim of a conspiracy?

"The princess's non-stop vomiting looks just like a pregnant woman!" A discordant voice came from the crowd.

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and they all looked at the person who spoke. They saw that the person was Xiao Jiang from before, who was smiling smugly at the moment, and seemed to be very satisfied with what he had just said.

Princess Pingle, who was already nervous, turned even paler when she heard this. She clenched her fists tightly, trying to stay calm and hide the feeling of nausea.

"Asshole, you dare to say anything nonsense, right?"

The Queen Mother was very angry at Xiao Jiang's words and got furious immediately.

Princess Pingle raised her head with great effort to look at the bitch not far away, secretly hating her in her heart. Is this little Jiang crazy?

But vomiting would be fine if she had done it on weekdays, but today she couldn't suppress the feeling of nausea. Before she could open her mouth to refute, she was attacked by a strong urge to vomit again.

She quickly covered her mouth, trying hard not to vomit, but eventually she couldn't help it and vomited on the ground with a "wow".

Everyone around was stunned. Even the Queen Mother took a few steps back with a look of disgust on her face.

However, Xiao Jiang was watching with a gloating look on the side, not caring at all about her husband, Lord Shi, the Minister of Personnel, who was sitting opposite her and whose eyes were almost broken by her squeeze.

"I dare not say anything nonsense. Although I have never given birth and have never eaten pork, I have never seen a pig run. This is clearly a sign of morning sickness, Princess!"

He really didn't stop until he said something shocking. Everyone in the hall was stunned!

What happened to this little Jiang? Has she gone crazy?

Lord Shi no longer cared about his dignity at this moment. Didn't he see that the Empress Dowager's face had become so dark that she looked like she was about to kill someone?

"Shut up!"

He rolled and crawled to his knees in the center of the hall, and pulled Xiao Jiang down to kneel with him.

"Queen Dowager, calm down. Queen Dowager, calm down. I am an ignorant woman. What I said is crazy. You must not take it seriously!"

Everyone saw that Lord Shi kept bowing his head and apologizing as if he was going to break his head.

But Xiao Jiang beside him looked at him with disdain, not moving at all, with no intention of kowtowing at all.

"Are you crazy? Apologize to the Queen Mother!"

Lord Shi really didn't know what happened to his little wife, who was a little spoiled but still gentle and lovely, today. He just wanted her to apologize quickly and not completely anger the Queen Mother.

Xiao Jiang remained unmoved. She raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of stubbornness and madness.

"I'm not crazy! I'm telling the truth! Princess Pingle looks like she's pregnant!" Her voice echoed in the hall, shocking everyone even more.

"Who in the capital doesn't know that the princess's fiancé is Madam Liu's ex-husband? Who would have thought that Madam Liu, who looks like a foxy woman, couldn't win the heart of her husband, and even gave birth to a daughter, but was abandoned? The princess must have used extraordinary means! I'm afraid she is pregnant with Master Ye's child, right?"

The Queen Mother was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Xiao Jiang and said, "What a bold woman you are! How dare you talk nonsense at the Queen's birthday banquet! Come, drag her away and give her twenty heavy beatings!"

The guards immediately stepped forward and tried to drag Xiao Jiang away.

Lord Shi was panicked and kowtowed, begging for mercy: "Her Majesty the Queen Mother, please spare my life! My wife must have been possessed by an evil spirit, that's why she said such things. Please have mercy on her, Her Majesty the Queen Mother, and spare her this time!"

However, the Queen Mother was very angry at the time and was not willing to listen to Lord Shi's plea.

"Your wife is so presumptuous, you are also responsible! I will punish you after I have beaten her with 20 sticks! Your Majesty, Lord Shi is not strict in managing his family, how can he share your worries in the court? Don't delay the important affairs of the court!"

Princess Pingle was shocked and angry. She didn't know why Xiao Jiang was targeting her.

She tried to suppress her inner panic and calm herself down, but the feeling of nausea became stronger and stronger, and she covered her mouth again and almost vomited again.

At this time, Emperor Jingxuan frowned slightly, looking at the chaotic scene, and felt a little confused.

Could it be that Lord Shi’s wife has really gone crazy?

"Go and urge the imperial physician to come as soon as possible to treat Princess Pingle. Lord Shi, you have heard what the Queen Mother said. If you can't figure it out, you should stay at home and reflect on your mistakes for two months. If you can't manage your own family well, don't come to my sight anymore."

When Emperor Jingxuan said this, Lord Shi was struck by lightning. He never expected that he would be punished so severely because of his wife's nonsense.

He collapsed on the ground in despair, feeling filled with remorse, and didn't even bother to pull Xiao Jiang away.

Who knew that when Xiao Jiang saw that she was really going to be dragged out and beaten with a stick, she became even crazier, "Shi Youcai, you are a waste, please save me! I have been coaxing you every day, but in the end, you are useless. You only know how to coax me for pleasure every day, and you are still shameless at your age. I should have given you an extra dose of medicine and sent you to keep my sickly sister company... You are a waste..."

Ye Xiaoxiao was originally enjoying eating melons, but now she felt like she had won the lottery.

Oh my God, she really guessed it right. Jiang's death was indeed related to this little Jiang!

Everyone was dumbfounded. What on earth had happened to Xiao Jiang?

Is this the beginning of a self-destruction?

Everyone's eyes looking at Lord Shi gradually began to feel something was wrong.

If Xiao Jiang understood correctly, then there must be something fishy about the death of Lord Shi’s late wife!

I just wonder if Mr. Shi was deceived by Xiao Jiang? Or did the two of them team up to harm him?

At this point, Emperor Jingxuan was completely certain that Mrs. Jiang had gone mad. He really didn't want to listen to her dirty talk, so he ordered people to block her mouth and take Lord Shi away as well.
