Ye Chuxue sneered, "If you dare to touch my daughter, I will give her the thing you care about most to make amends."

Ye Xinrou dressed up carefully early in the morning, wearing a brocade satin dress and a set of glittering jewelry, which made her look particularly radiant.

She looked at herself in the mirror and was very satisfied. Thinking of seeing Ye Chuxue at the banquet today, a hint of ferocity flashed in her eyes, and she muttered to herself in the mirror: "Ye Chuxue, today I will let you see how I can trample you under my feet and tear off your disguise! By then, Brother Heng will definitely despise you, including those two little bastards!"

When Ye Xinrou arrived at the Princess's Mansion, many dignitaries and noble ladies were already there. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and walked in with a smile.

When the princess saw Ye Xinrou coming, her eyes lit up with joy. She walked over and took Ye Xinrou's hand affectionately: "Xinrou, you are here. You look very different today. You are very beautiful."

Ye Xinrou smiled slightly and supported herself slightly: "Xinrou greets the eldest princess. Thank you for the compliment. Princess, you are truly stunningly beautiful."

The princess smiled and spoke to her cordially for a few words, expressing her admiration for her. Then, on the pretext that she had other guests to entertain, she let her go shopping on her own and turned to leave.

After the princess left, a large group of people gathered around her, forming a lively circle. The leader was Guan Qiuyao, the daughter of the Minister of War.

Guan Qiuyao stepped forward, her face filled with a warm smile. Her eyes fell on Ye Xinrou, and a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal and praised her sincerely, "Sister Xinrou is really bright and beautiful today, and she outshines all of us sisters."

Ye Xinrou smiled modestly, shook her head slightly and said, "No, no, you sisters are still more beautiful. I just put on a little makeup."

"Sister Xinrou, there is no need to be so modest. Everyone knows how beautiful you are. Wearing this dress made of brocade and satin will make you even more beautiful." Guan Qiuyao continued to praise, while carefully looking at Ye Xinrou's clothes.

Others also echoed, "So this is Yunjin silk. It really is true that seeing it in person is worse than hearing about it. Look at Miss Xinrou, when she walks, her whole body exudes a dreamy glow!"

"That's right! This brocade silk is extremely precious. Only ten bolts of it can be produced each year, and only the ladies in the palace are qualified to enjoy it. The second young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is truly blessed."

"Yes, you see, Prince Yunqing is deeply in love with the Second Miss. I think this brocade silk must have been sent by the Empress. I guess their marriage is almost certain."

......

In fact, this batch of brocade silk was indeed a gift from the Queen Mother, but there was no mention of the marriage with Prince Yunqing. She only invited Chang to the palace for a chat ten days later.

Chang originally intended to leave the precious cloth as Ye Xinrou's dowry, but after seeing Ye Chuxue's current appearance, Ye Xinrou felt that if Ye Chuxue participated, she would be eclipsed. So, she launched a campaign of persuasion and persuasion against Chang, and finally succeeded in getting Chang to change her mind and make the cloth into clothes, which led to her current success.

Ye Xinrou was initially very proud and enjoyed the praise from everyone. However, as time went on, the words she heard made her increasingly angry. It turned out that everyone thought she would become the Princess of Yunqing, but in reality, she did not want to marry the King of Yunqing at all. Her heart had long belonged to Yun Muheng, and she longed to become the Princess of Yunxin.

Just as Ye Xinrou was about to retort, the eldest princess' daughter, Xue Qianqian, approached with a look of arrogance. She glanced at Ye Xinrou with disdain and then shouted, "Her marriage to my brother hasn't even been finalized yet! How dare you all, like a bunch of gossips, spout nonsense here? Just because she's just a little concubine, she wants to become my brother's princess? Even if it means being a concubine, I'm afraid my brother would have to think carefully about it!"

Xue Qianqian's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on everyone's heads, making them look at each other in bewilderment and not daring to say another word.

What Ye Xinrou hated most was being called a concubine's daughter. A flicker of hatred flashed in her eyes, then vanished. She calmed herself down, raised her head, and looked at Xue Qianqian with grievance and resentment in her eyes. She said in a firm tone, "My dear little princess, how did I offend you? I let you say such unbearable things!"

Xue Qianqian looked at her clothes, a hint of cruelty flashing in her eyes. She had begged the princess for a long time before she agreed to go to the queen to ask for the brocade silk, but the queen said she was too late and the cloth had already been given to the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Thinking that all this glory should belong to her, she stripped Ye Xinrou of everything.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, and she snorted coldly: "Humph! You? You are worthy of offending me. This princess is just telling the truth. Or are you not a concubine's daughter?"

Ye Xinrou looked at Xue Qianqian unwillingly, her fists clenched, but she didn't know how to refute. Her heart was filled with anger and humiliation, but facing the noble princess, she didn't dare to lose her temper easily. She could only grit her teeth, suppress her inner anger, and try to remain calm.

Guan Qiuyao stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "Little Princess, Second Miss, it seems it's getting late. Shouldn't the banquet start soon?" Then, feigning confusion, she asked, "Hey! I heard that Princess Yunxin, who hasn't been seen in a while, also received an invitation. Why haven't I seen her here yet?"

Hearing this, Xue Qianqian raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile: "Humph! She's just a fool, maybe she doesn't even dare to come. A daughter of the Prime Minister's family is suppressed by such a concubine's daughter. It's really shameful. If it were me, I would have found a place to hide and disappeared long ago. How could I have the face to live in this world?"

The other noble ladies also echoed, "Yes, a legitimate daughter is actually not as good as a concubine's daughter. I heard that before she married Prince Yunxin, she lived worse than a dog. If it were me, I would definitely not have the face to attend such a banquet."

"Alas! Even after marrying Prince Yunxin, she was still kicked out of the palace shortly after giving birth. Although she was still the princess in name, she had actually lost her status."

"That's right. Who knows how long this status can last? She might be divorced by King Yunxin soon." Everyone was talking about it, with contempt on their faces.

Just when everyone was chatting happily, Ye Chuxue's cold voice came from behind them: "It seems that everyone cares about me very much! Should I hold a banquet to entertain you and thank you for your kindness?" Ye Chuxue deliberately emphasized the word "kindness".
