He favored his concubine and I cut off my wealth. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.

"The Queen has arrived! Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived! Princess Ning Huan has arrived..."

As the sound of singing rang out, the queen and the prince walked in from the door one after another. Everyone knelt down, but Lu Yan stood alone in the corner, looking particularly conspicuous.

The queen glanced at Lu Yan out of the corner of her eye, then quickly looked away and called everyone to stand up and take their seats.

"Jiang Li, the eldest daughter of Duke Jiang's mansion, and Hairpin Li, begin!"

As the master of ceremony's voice sounded, Jiang Li, dressed in a bright red brocade dress, walked in from the door with picturesque eyebrows, a smile at the corner of her mouth, and soft black hair scattered on the back of her head. She was elegant and dignified, but also brought a little bit of her daughter's family. Coquettish.

Looking at Jiang Li, who was slender and graceful, the empress could not hide the loving smile in her eyes.

Jiang Li, the eldest daughter of the Queen's mother's family, Jiang Guogong, was also the Queen's candidate for the Crown Princess from the beginning.

Jiang Li knelt in front of the queen, her posture upright, and the queen tied her hair herself.

The hair comb fell, and the queen's gentle voice also sounded, "On the auspicious day of the month, you will start to add yuan clothes. Abandon your young ambitions, follow them and become virtuous. The test of longevity is only for Qi, and you will be blessed by Jingfu."

All the official ladies present couldn't help but be a little jealous. With the gift of a hairpin, the Queen could have her hair tied by herself. In the past decades, there was absolutely no one else in Shengjing except Jiang Li.

Lin Xuefu's middle fingers tightly twisted her sleeves. She was originally the legitimate daughter of the third wife of the Lin family. She was brought into the Yanglinghou Mansion by Madam Yanglinghou because her parents died early, and it was Madam Yanglinghou who wanted her to return. The gift of love and hairpin was just a simple hairpin tied up at the house, not one ten thousandth as complicated and grand as Jiang Li's hairpin ceremony, and there was no room full of guests to witness it.

Thinking about this, Lin Xuefu's desire to become a human master became more intense.

Shen Qing glanced at Lin Xuefu from the corner of her eye, and saw her eyes fixed on the queen's hand that was fixing Jiang Li's hairpin, with jealousy in her eyes that could not be concealed.

Withdrawing his gaze, Shen Qing took a sip of tea as if nothing had happened.

She didn't give her a hairpin ceremony, nor was she jealous of Jiang Li's hairpin ceremony, because the person who could give her a hairpin was long gone.

Because she was the only legitimate daughter of Duke Jiang's family and the crown prince appointed by the queen, Jiang Li's hairpin ceremony process was very complicated, and it was almost past noon when it was almost over.

Jiang Li was wearing a bright red moiré brocade dress and she was leaning towards the crowd. The golden hairpin with a phoenix pattern engraved on her head burst into everyone's eyes the moment she lowered her head.

Logically speaking, Jiang Li has not yet entered the East Palace, so wearing a phoenix hairpin is considered a transcendence. However, the empress personally put the hairpin on Jiang Li, so this transcendence became an honor.

When the hairdressing ceremony was completed, Jiang Li retreated to the queen's side, and on the other side was the prince Chu Lingxiu.

Jiang Li's father, Jiang Guogong, walked out from the side with a smile on his face, "Today, my little girl has hairpins, and the queen empress will personally give her hairpins. All the guests will come to witness this. Jiang is very grateful..."

After some pleasantries, it was time for everyone to send congratulatory gifts.

As Jiang Li's aunt and future mother-in-law, the Queen was the first to take out a golden hairpin. The seven exquisite and dazzling phoenix tails shone under the dim light, looking extremely exquisite. "This belongs to me or the Crown Princess." At that time, the Empress Dowager personally gave me the phoenix hairpin. Now that you and Xiu'er are about to get married, I will pass this phoenix hairpin to you. I hope that after you get married to Xiu'er, the phoenix will be harmonious. At the same time, I also hope that you can help Xiu'er takes good care of the East Palace so that he has no worries."

Jiang Li stood up and took it with both hands, "Don't worry, aunt, Li'er will live up to her expectations."

As Jiang Li's cousin and fiancé, the prince immediately sent a congratulatory gift, which was the "Phoenix Picture" left behind by the master of painting Jing Qingzhi. It was hard to buy for a lot of money, and Jiang Li had been looking for it for a long time.

"I heard that Li'er has been looking for this "Phoenix Picture" for a long time, so he sent someone to find it and give it to you today. I hope Li'er will get everything he wants in the future."

Jiang Li said with a smile, "Li'er thanked the prince's cousin."

Princess Ning Huan and Chu Qingyi gave her a piece of Liuguang brocade. This brocade came as tribute from a small country in the east. It was very precious. There were only five horses in the entire harem. Chu Qingyi got two horses, but he was willing to give half of them. It can be seen that The relationship between the two is very good.

The family performance above was in full swing. Madam Yanglinghou glanced behind Shen Qing, but found that there was nothing there. She couldn't help but feel a thump in her heart. She crossed over Lin Xuefu and approached Shen Qing and asked: "Shen Qing , where is the gift you prepared?"

Shen Qing looked surprised, "Isn't mother prepared?"

Mrs. Yanglinghou's forehead was beating fast, and the bad premonition in her heart was rising more and more, and her voice couldn't help but become a little sharper, "Weren't you prepared for these things in the past?"

Shen Qing said confidently, "There is no money in the account."

Mrs. Yanglinghou was so angry that she gritted her teeth, "You don't have any money in the account, so you can't think of a way! Are you coming here empty-handed to embarrass our Yanglinghou Mansion?"

After saying that, Madam Yanglinghou glanced towards Jiang Li and found that she had already arrived at Wuliehou's Mansion, and the next two would be arriving at their Yanglinghou Mansion, so Madam Yanglinghou's face became increasingly ugly.

What is this?

Eat a king's meal?

If I had known that Shen Qing was not prepared for anything, Mrs. Yanglinghou would not come even if she said nothing. She would just push Shen Qing out to block the knife. But now that the two of them are in the same table, they can't pick it off even if they want to. Got it!

"What to do now!"

As the "disgraceful" time came closer and closer, Mrs. Yanglinghou could not sit still at all, and her voice gradually evolved into a low roar.

Mrs. Yanglinghou thought quickly in her mind, what was the probability that she would be implicated if she left the table now? When she thought about it and felt that she had lost face, she almost went crazy.

Mrs. Yanglinghou, like Marquis Yangling, valued face the most, especially in front of these ladies who were much lower in status than her, she could not lose face at all.

But now, Shen Qing not only threw her face on the ground, but also stepped on it twice.

Shen Qing looked like a broken jar, "How do I know? Wasn't it my mother who gave gifts in the past?"

Mrs. Yanglinghou was very proud, and especially liked to see the envy of others when they praised her. Therefore, in the past banquets, after Shen Qing prepared precious gifts, Mrs. Yanglinghou gave them out personally, thus creating a reputation for Mrs. Yanglinghou's generosity and nobility.

But now, many years of business are about to be destroyed. How can Mrs. Yanglinghou remain calm!

After thinking for a while, the wife of Yangling Marquis decided that if Shen Qing still couldn't take out the gift when they arrived at Yangling Marquis Mansion, she would insist that Shen Qing had embezzled it!

Seeing that they had already arrived at Yining Marquis Mansion, and then passed Pingxi Marquis Mansion, they would reach Yangling Marquis Mansion. Lin Xuefu couldn't help but frown. She didn't want to be in the limelight, but she didn't want to lose face either!

At this moment, Chan Yi, who had disappeared for a long time, finally entered quietly, holding an exquisite brocade box in her arms.

Seeing this, the wife of Yangling Marquis and Lin Xuefu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that Shen Qing would not really let themselves lose face in public. It turned out that he had just deceived them.

While their hearts were relieved, they couldn't help but feel resentful. Was Shen Qing playing them as fools?

Shen Qing took in all the changes in their expressions. The corners of Shen Qing's mouth rose slightly. It was too early to be happy now.
