Reborn to marry, the short-lived prince lived a hundred years

Princess Luojia held a banquet and invited many guests. Among the guests were prominent and powerful people from famous families, as well as handsome scholars from humble backgrounds.

The banquet was held at Hefengxuan.

When Meng Tingyue arrived, there were already quite a few people inside.

Among them, she also saw Qiao Tingfeng and the King and Queen of Qing.

She had no desire to reminisce about the past with Meng Qingjiao and King Qing, so she just smiled and nodded politely, then quietly found a quiet corner and drank tea alone.

Her status has changed now and she is noble, so there is no need for her to deliberately please others or flatter others as she did in her previous life.

These ladies used to surround Meng Qingjiao, laughing and flattering her, but now their attitude towards her is completely different. Meng Tingyue took it indifferently, but she couldn't help feeling that the world is impermanent.

She occasionally chatted with a few ladies, her words were gentle and appropriate, but she also maintained an appropriate distance, neither being impolite nor too intimate.

Meng Tingyue smiled and nodded in agreement with his wife's words. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Prince Qing was trying hard to talk to the sons of powerful people. Although those people were respectful to him, they were not willing to open up to him.

In this situation, her gaze involuntarily slid towards Meng Qingjiao who was snuggling beside Prince Qing.

This banquet seemed to be a feast for women, while men were just embellishments and were far outnumbered.

In this situation, if Meng Qingjiao could take the initiative, even if it was just to talk to those ladies, according to Jiang Qingrou's cultivation of her, she would definitely win the favor of some ladies and would definitely add some help to King Qing.

But Meng Qingjiao was like the wicker flower clinging to a big tree, weakly attached to King Qing, waiting only for the time to ripen and then picking the ripe fruits after they naturally matured, but she was unwilling to take the initiative to water the fruits, turn the soil and fertilize them.

It's really ridiculous and stupid.

Meng Tingyue lowered her eyes, sighed slightly and shook her head.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, followed by a clear and loud announcement: "Princess Luo Jia has arrived."

The conversation stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes turned to the door.

Immediately afterwards, a line of guards walked into the hall in unison, each carefully holding various objects covered with bright red cloth in their hands.

These objects are of different sizes and arranged in an orderly manner. The number of them is staggering.

When many people saw the red cloth, their eyes flickered with anticipation.

Just when everything was arranged, Princess Luojia finally stepped into the threshold.

Princess Luojia has a gentle and sweet appearance, with affectionate almond eyes, a straight nose, cherry lips, and a delicate face like a painting. Her eyes flicker like the most lively deer in the mountains.

Princess Luojia has been scanning the room since she entered, as if she is looking for someone.

Suddenly, her gaze fixed on a corner.

Her eyes instantly burst into bright light, and her pace involuntarily quickened. She moved towards the corner almost eagerly.

Witnessing this scene, Meng Qingjiao's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible hint of joy.

The indifference and neglect of the people around her had already made her feel unhappy. Now, seeing Princess Luo Jia approaching Meng Tingyue with such a fierce momentum, she knew that Meng Tingyue was going to suffer.

In her previous life, she had put in a lot of effort to please Princess Luo Jia and had suffered many grievances and hardships.

Besides, last time Meng Tingyue caused her cousin to be punished by her father, and now she is kneeling in the ancestral hall to be punished. She wants to watch Meng Tingyue experience what she experienced in her previous life.

Qiao Tingfeng knew that the prince was busy with important matters and could not be present today, so he secretly observed Meng Tingyue's situation. Seeing Princess Luo Jia's posture, he thought something was wrong and rushed forward.

Qiao Tingfeng was tall and long-legged, and he rushed to Princess Luo Jia in an instant.

The princess was caught off guard and bumped into Qiao Tingfeng unexpectedly.

The two of them lost their balance and fell to the ground due to the sudden force.

"Qiao Tingfeng, are you sick?" Princess Luo Jia pressed on Qiao Tingfeng, with a hint of anger between her brows.

Qiao Tingfeng was innocently made a meat cushion, and was scolded. He was unhappy in his heart, "It's not you who is in pain, why are you scolding me?"

"I was just walking, why did you suddenly rush out?"

"You call that a peaceful departure? You're clearly furious, ready to fight to the death. I'm here to stop you from doing anything stupid."

"You are confused, your whole family is confused. I want to go find my sister-in-law, why are you rushing out to stop me?"

The two of them were fighting in public without paying any attention to anyone else, which made the others blush and feel embarrassed, and they all looked at them sideways.

Meng Tingyue was already accustomed to the daily bickering between Qiao Tingfeng and Princess Luo Jia, the bickering pair, but she was still surprised to see them acting like this in public today.

Seeing this, the Fifth Prince's brows darkened with coldness, and he interrupted the comical yet bold scene, "Luo Jia, hurry up and get up! This behavior is unbecoming."

After he finished speaking, the Fifth Prince started coughing again.

Princess Luo Jia suddenly woke up from a dream and hurriedly jumped off Qiao Tingfeng. She looked around and warned in a tone that was both playful and majestic: "If any rumors about what happened today get out, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Princess Luojia glared at Qiao Tingfeng fiercely and pushed him away, "Stay away from me."

Qiao Tingfeng staggered and retorted, "You are the one. Nothing good has ever happened to me since I met you."

Princess Luo Jia walked past Qiao Tingfeng and went straight to Meng Tingyue. Just as she was about to reach her, she was stopped by Qiao Tingfeng again.

She turned around and saw that it was Qiao Tingfeng. The displeasure in her eyes solidified into reality. "Qiao Tingfeng, you are really annoying. If you don't leave, I will have you thrown out."

In the capital, the only person who dared to say in public that she wanted to throw the Prince of Jingbei out was probably Princess Luojia.

Qiao Tingfeng stiffened his neck fearlessly and said, "If you have the guts, throw this prince out. I'll come back every time you throw me out."

Both of them are notorious playboys in the capital, and neither of them is willing to give in.

"Prince Qiao, please let Princess Luojia come over." Meng Tingyue's slightly helpless voice sounded slowly.

She finally saw clearly that Princess Luo Jia had to come to see her today.

Prince Qiao helped her for the sake of the Crown Prince.

Both of them were stubborn. If she continued to act like a coward, the banquet today might not be able to continue peacefully.

"Hmph, the Empress Dowager is on my side." Princess Luo Jia raised her head high and looked very proud like a victorious hen.

Qiao Tingfeng hummed softly and left with his arms folded.

The lady beside Meng Tingyue left with a look of approval, leaving the two of them some space to be alone.

Meng Tingyue sat quietly, waiting for Princess Luojia to make things difficult for her.

Unexpectedly, Princess Luojia turned to look at today's guests after sitting down.

Princess Luojia said this to the guards she brought with her: "First, show us your things one by one."

"Everyone, please enjoy it first."
