Jiang Miao couldn't wait to meet the eldest princess after receiving the key information from Qiao Songyun.
Sang Nu was at the mansion, so she couldn't go directly to the eldest princess' mansion, so she made an appointment at Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city.
Not only did the eldest princess come today, but Zhao Jing also came with Shen Yanqing after going to court.
"How is my cousin doing these days?"
Zhao Jing and Shen Yanqing came in one after another. Both of them had extraordinary looks and demeanor. Compared to Shen Yanqing who was so beautiful and elegant, Zhao Jing carried the pressure of a superior person, making people dare not look at them more.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Everything is fine with Miaoya."
Jiang Miao had not met the emperor's cousin a few times, especially when there were rumors of his engagement with Princess Rongning. Although it was fake, Jiang Miao still felt embarrassed.
"Okay, everyone, sit down."
The eldest princess noticed the unfamiliarity between the two of them, so she took the initiative to pull Jiang Miao to sit down, and asked someone to serve two cups of hot tea to the emperor and Shen Yanqing.
"Miaoya said she found the person who forged Sannu's birthmark, but is it true?"
The eldest princess couldn't wait to expose Sannu's identity. She took Rong Ning's identity for a day, and the eldest princess felt bad.
"It's true. Yesterday Qiao Songyun came to see me at Shen's house. He recognized that the birthmark on Sannu's wrist was made by him. Moreover, he was silenced at that time, but he survived by luck. Jiang Ru found Sannu. This thing It definitely has something to do with her."
"Miaoya makes sense, but how to identify Jiang Ru through Sannu is still a problem."
The crux comes back to this. Without evidence that Jiang Ru had silenced her, she could not be identified as the murderer. After all, Jiang Ru's people were very careful and did not leave any clues. Even if it was revealed that Sang Nu's identity was fake, as long as Jiang Ru was able to kill her, Even if she refuses to admit it, they can't do anything to her.
"Master, Cuizhu has something to say."
Aunt Qi came in from outside the pavilion, followed by Cuizhu, who was resting for a bath today.
"Oh, what are you going to say?"
Cuizhu was the spy she sent to Sannu. She and Cuixi took turns following her, so there was no guarantee that they would hear any important news.
The eldest princess's face became serious and she couldn't help but straighten her body.
"Yesterday, I followed her into the Jiang Mansion. Although I and Cui Xi did not enter the house, Master, you know that I have always had a good ear. I heard faintly outside that the eldest lady asked Nasang Nu to plot against the emperor at the palace banquet... …”
"What? Plot against the emperor? How brave they are!"
The eldest princess was furious. Jiang Ru was so bold. He just plotted against her, but now he was paying attention to the emperor.
"What else did you hear? Tell me everything!"
Zhao Jing's face next to her was gloomy, and there were faint signs of anger in her falcon eyes. Cuizhu trembled, and with fear in her heart, she repeated everything she heard.
"Ha! This Jiang Ru has come up with such a despicable method. It seems that she is desperate."
Zhao Jing laughed angrily, he was not stupid enough to behave like a young lady.
"What does the emperor plan to do? Then Jiang Ru follows her aunt and only knows some dirty tricks. How about I find a reason to exclude her from the list of palace banquets?"
Zhao Jing's safety was the most important thing, and the eldest princess did not want to involve him. However, her suggestion was refuted by Zhao Jing, who had a sullen face and a sarcastic smile on his lips.
"No, I want to see what tricks she will use. Moreover, Jiang Ru has a cunning temper, so I just took the opportunity to catch her this time."
"Then the emperor should be more careful..."
"Well, aunt, just relax. Even if I don't know that she is plotting against me, I will still be on guard. What's more, I already know it now."
After the few of them discussed the plan, Jiang Miao didn't have to worry at all. She just had to settle Qiao Songyun, and Jiang Ru would fall into a trap on the day of the palace banquet.
"After the palace banquet, my stepmother will resume your status. My son has been wronged these days."
With the key witness, the eldest princess felt relieved. She patted Jiang Miao's hand with a comforting look on her face.
"Mom is thinking about Miaoya's safety. How could Miaoya blame you?"
"Good boy, I still have two pieces of good satin in my library. I will ask Aunt Qi to send them to you later to make two dresses to wear at the palace banquet."
Her daughter, Zhao Linlang, deserves the best, and with Jiang Miao's stunning appearance, the eldest princess also wants her to show off at the palace banquet.
"Mom just loves me."
Jiang Miao was not short of clothes, but since this was a gift from her mother, she naturally had to accept it happily.
The sweetheart acted coquettishly in her arms, and the eldest princess's heart softened to tears.
"Mom, you are my only daughter. If I don't love you, who will I love?"
The mother and daughter were affectionate. Shen Yan looked at Jiang Miao with a smile on his face, not forgetting to refill her cup of hot tea. Only Zhao Jing sat next to her like an outsider, feeling deserted.
In the past, when Jiang Miao didn't recognize her, she didn't feel that now that he was the only one living alone, it was really deserted. It seemed like he should accept it.
Zhao Jing lowered her head to drink tea, and the figure of a young lady appeared in his mind. His eyes were dark, and he gradually lost consciousness while looking at the green tea leaves floating in the cup.
The palace banquet is coming soon, and the dull capital becomes lively again.
Linglong Pavilion also launched down jackets before the New Year. They use the best Yun brocade and Shu brocade. The style is not inferior to that of Yuhua Lou, and the price is cheaper than it. Many past customers are attracted by it.
"Didn't you say that the money in your hand is not enough to buy clothes from Yuhualou? It just so happens that we go to Linglong Pavilion to have a look."
The clothes of Yuhualou are the benchmark for noble ladies in the capital. Anyone who doesn’t have a few down jackets in his wardrobe will be laughed at by the little sisters. Especially at the palace banquet, everyone wears light and delicate down jackets, but she wears a heavy and clumsy cotton-padded jacket. , this is a slap in the face inappropriately.
"Okay, let's go now."
There were many people who had the same idea as these two young ladies. As soon as the news came out that Linglong Pavilion was selling down jackets, the originally sparse shop was filled with people again.
The young ladies came in together, and as soon as they entered the door, they smelled a strong aroma that made people dizzy.
"Shopkeeper, why do you smell such heavy incense? We can hardly breathe."
Yuhualou also offers incense, but the incense beads that people incense are from Yukwai Fong. It is light and good-smelling, and the fragrance lasts a long time. Even if you don’t buy clothes, you will want to go in and sit there. The fragrance on your clothes can stay for several days. Woolen cloth.
The young ladies covered their mouths and noses and looked at the shopkeeper with disgust. Not only were they trying to imitate Ren Yuhualou's down jackets, but they also imitated the incense. Unfortunately, they couldn't imitate the essence.
The shopkeeper had a stern look on his face. He didn't want to smoke such a heavy incense. It was because the fluff in the down jacket had a smell that couldn't be eliminated. If it wasn't covered with incense, there would be no way to enter the room.
It's just that I can't say these things to young ladies. Fortunately, their down jackets are cheap and the style is good-looking, so young ladies can barely tolerate the smell in the house.
"Wrap these items for me."
"I want it too!"
A few young ladies can't afford the one in Yuhua Tower, and the same goes for those in Linglong Pavilion. The money saved can be used to buy more jewelry.
