"Princess Qingyang..." Su Nianyun sounded helpless.
She is the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother, a generation older than Qingyang, so she should be greeted by Qingyang.
Of course she would not argue with a princess who was favored by the emperor and empress.
After saying hello, Su Nianyun fell silent.
She had expected to wait for another round of attacks from Qingyang, after all, she had always been tit-for-tat against her.
He didn't want Qingyang to change his attitude, "Today, I'm holding a flower-viewing banquet in the Imperial Garden. You can come too."
Su Nianyun was stunned.
Didn't she just say that she didn't greet the queen and had no rules? How come she was invited to a flower viewing banquet?
Shouldn't he be dragged to the queen's place, and the mother and daughter would sneer at him together?
Facing the invitation, Su Nianyun subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But today is different from the past.
She is no longer the Su Nianyun who was frightened when she first entered the palace.
She has experienced too much in her past and present lives.
On the outside, she appears to be a newly married woman at the age of sixteen, but in fact she has already seen the wind and rain, and has experienced endless vicissitudes of life.
Moreover, Qingyang has always had the kind of temper that no one can refuse. If she refuses the invitation at this time, it will only immediately arouse her rebellion.
Therefore, facing the unruly princess, Su Nianyun no longer chose to resist this time, but started to go smoothly.
She nodded, "It's great to be invited by Princess Qingyang."
Seeing the other party nodding happily, showing no signs of cowardice or resistance as before, Princess Qingyang was stunned.
Because this was almost impossible to happen in the past.
Su Nianyun knew that what was waiting for her would be ridicule and teasing.
"I didn't expect that after getting married, I would become more courageous. So why are you still standing there? Let's go quickly..."
Qingyang proudly turned around and went first, while Su Nianyun and Aunt Liu followed silently.
"Princess," Nanny Liu whispered in Su Nianyun's ear, "there must be a lot of people at the flower viewing banquet hosted by Duke Qingyang. Why don't you go find the Queen Mother..."
Aunt Liu also knew Princess Qingyang's temperament and immediately thought of asking the Queen Mother to come to the rescue.
Su Nianyun shook her head, "Mother Liu, it's just a trivial matter. The Queen Mother is needed everywhere."
Seeing Su Nianyun's certainty, Grandma Liu was half-convinced.
She decided to observe first, and if Princess Qingyang bullied the princess, she would go to the Queen Mother immediately.
The flower viewing banquet was held in Qingyang Palace.
Princess Qingyang was halfway through the flower-viewing banquet when she heard that the young palace maid reported that Su Nianyun was leaving the palace, so she hurried over to intercept her.
Walking into Qingyang Palace, Su Nianyun was surprised to find that compared to the three or two flowers that bloomed earlier in the Queen Mother's Palace, the flowers here can simply be described as a sea of flowers.
It can be seen that the gardeners put a lot of thought into this flower viewing feast.
At the same time, it also shows that Princess Qingyang has everything she needs in the palace.
Walking through the sea of flowers to the open space in the middle, there are several huge long tables.
On the table were fruits, snacks, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, or novelty and goodies. A dozen thin and fat women gathered at different tables according to their own preferences.
"Princess Qingyang, you are back!"
The one who came in the lead was Li Yingxue, the daughter of the Li family, the head of the eight great families.
Li Yingxue is the oldest among these women and the one who is about to get married.
Under the arrangement of the elders in the family, she married the Sun family.
The two major aristocratic families in the eight major aristocratic families are married and combined, and their financial status is naturally incomparable to that of the other six aristocratic families.
Seeing these young women from noble families, Su Nianyun was still a little stunned.
She had rarely appeared on such occasions before. After getting married, she experienced many changes and was busy with the Chen family's business and career, so she didn't recognize most of the women present.
And most of the people present, except for Li Yingxue and a few others, did not know Su Nianyun.
"Princess Qingyang, you left us in such a hurry and left us behind. What big shot did you bring back?"
"Big shot?" Qingyang smiled, "You're right, this is indeed a big shot..."
"I would like to introduce to you, this is the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother, Heiyun who never shows up at our gatherings... ah no, Princess Nianyun..."
"Sorry, I'm used to calling Princess Heiyun behind my back. It's really hard to change now."
Qingyang laughed while talking, and he laughed wantonly.
It seems that introducing Su Nianyun is a very pleasant thing.
Qingyang's behavior caused many women present to secretly cover their mouths and laugh.
Because Su Nianyun's slightly dark complexion was indeed incompatible with the fair-skinned and beautiful women present.
The description "black cloud" is quite appropriate.
Of course, in addition to laughing, there were also people who were shocked.
Everyone knew that Princess Nianyun was very favored by the Queen Mother, but they did not expect that even such a person could not escape the poisonous tongue of Princess Qingyang.
"Princess Nianyun, you won't be angry, will you?"
Qingyang wasn't done yet and continued to add fuel to the fire, "After all, given your seniority, I should call you aunt. Isn't it bad to say this to you?"
She had always called her "Princess Black Cloud", but it was always when no outsiders were present. After all, she didn't want the Queen Mother to know that she had humiliated Su Nianyun.
But today, she no longer cares about these things. Who wants Su Nianyun to make her mother angry?
Qingyang looked at Su Nianyun provocatively, waiting to see if she would be able to stand down in front of everyone and cry in shame and shame.
Unexpectedly, the humiliation that is usually most effective seems to have no effect today.
"Princess Qingyang is joking. I am just the adopted daughter adopted by the Queen Mother. You are the proud daughter of heaven who is loved by both the Emperor and the Queen."
Su Nianyun's face didn't change at all, "If you really call me aunt, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it!"
"Moreover," she added casually, "I grew up in Mobei. Mobei is windy and sandy, and the sun is strong. I am indeed a little dark and my skin is rough."
"Unlike all the wealthy ladies from the aristocratic families here, who have been pampered since childhood, proud and tender, and well-informed..."
In the past, her low self-esteem was due to being humiliated and compared by Qingyang every day, which made her feel that she was always out of place here.
But now, she is proud that she was born in Mobei.
When Su Nianyun said this, Qingyang was stunned.
Normally, if she laughed at Su Nianyun like this, she would definitely lower her head, blushing, and tears welling up in her eyes.
But today, she actually... How should I put it, it's not right to talk back, because her words were all compliments to herself.
But I don’t know why, these compliments just sound uncomfortable.
Qingyang was determined to continue attacking Su Nianyun, but could not find an entry point for the moment.
While Qingyang was stunned, Li Yingxue spoke at the right time.
"Princess Nianyun, it's rare for you to come to the flower viewing banquet. I just wrote a poem. How about asking the princess to help me?"
There is nothing wrong with what he said, and he even meant to save the situation.
But everyone who knows knows that Princess Nianyun is not literate at all.
Li Yingxue has always been a close friend of Princess Qingyang. The reason why she said this was of course to make Su Nianyun more embarrassed.
Qingyang's eyes lit up, "Yingxue, where is your poem? Bring it over quickly and ask Princess Nianyun for advice!"
