Chapter 1029： There's a lot of excitement!

Chapter 1029 is a big deal!

Almost as soon as he stepped into the gate of Zhilan Palace, Jiayin was placed on a lounge chair under the eaves of the corridor.

Baozhu beat her legs, and the third princess massaged her arms diligently, treating the good news as if she were a victorious general.

Jiayin couldn't stop laughing. He directed the two little sisters to bring tea and pour water. In the end, the three of them laughed so much that they fell together.

"It's so happy, it's so happy! Have you seen it? The imperial concubine's face is darker than the bottom of the pot!" The third princess danced, hating that she couldn't draw, otherwise she should have painted the imperial concubine's appearance.

Baozhu nodded fiercely, "I saw it, I saw it! There are also those noble ladies opposite, who usually have their nostrils piercing the sky, but today they were so scared that they were shrinking their necks!"

Jiayin sat down the two sisters together and told them, "We don't bully others, but we must not tolerate it when others bully us. Otherwise, more people will bully us in the future!"

"I know, don't worry!" The third princess said proudly, "With what happened today, no one will dare to mess with us for many years."

After saying that, she asked curiously, "I remember that you like doing business to make money the most. When did you become so good at writing poetry?"

Jiayin felt guilty, so she responded vaguely, "I'm not that good, I just write a few random sentences on weekdays. Besides, people have said that I am the sister of the number one scholar, how can I be a loser!"

"That's true," the third princess nodded and smiled, "Fortunately, I hid it before, otherwise they wouldn't have taken the initiative to fight today, and then their mouths were slapped crookedly!"

Jiayin quickly changed the subject and asked Shui Ling to take out all the jewelry he had just won and put them in front of the third princess and the orb.

“You two pick a few things you like as a souvenir!”

Baozhu waved her hand to refuse, but the third princess said, "Haha, I have to choose one as a souvenir. I guess when I get old and my hair turns gray, I will laugh three times thinking about today."

As she spoke, she took a warm jade card.

Seeing this, Baozhu thought for a while and picked up a red gold dragon and phoenix bracelet.

Jiayin asked Shui Ling to put away the remaining items, and then told her, "There are some red gold flower hairpins on the top of my makeup box. You, Shuiyun and Caiyun should all pick one to feel happy. Then, I'll pay for two meat dishes for everyone in the palace tonight."

"Thank you, Princess!" Shui Ling and Shui Yun both smiled. Cai Yun looked at the third princess and when she saw her nodding, she quickly smiled and thanked her.

The other maids and eunuchs were also very happy when they heard that dinner was added in the evening.

As a slave, the only one who can rely on is his master.

The master has a strong back, and they are not afraid of being bullied when they go out...

Not to mention the bustle in Zhilan Palace, just that the summer banquet lasted for a while and ended hastily.

The ladies and girls of each family said goodbye to the noble concubine and left the palace one after another.

They were very happy when they entered the palace, but when they left the palace, everyone was withered and droopy. There were even two girls who wrapped their heads and faces in cloaks and cried.

This is so strange that everyone can’t help but be confused when they see it.

Good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

Everyone has anger and resentment in their hearts, so naturally it is impossible to hide it.

So the news spread before the carriages of each family even entered the house.

When it comes to gossip experts, women think they are number one, but no one dares to think they are number two.

Especially those women who were not invited by the noble concubine. They were full of sour water. Suddenly they heard that the people who went to the banquet were so miserable, and they wanted to burst into laughter.

In the largest and best jewelry store in Xindu, the first floor receives more individual customers, but they sell small things such as hairpins or longevity locks. The second floor is where big customers gather.

Most women from every family are willing to gather here as long as they have money in their pockets.

Drink tea, eat snacks, take a rest, take a look at what jewelry is popular nowadays, and buy one or two sets. Those who have daughters make dowries for their daughters, while those who don’t have daughters keep them as gifts for their daughter-in-law.

If you don’t have a daughter-in-law or a daughter-in-law, you’ll have to make the most gorgeous mobile jewelry stand for yourself.

So, women and dragons have the same attribute, and they have never been able to resist shiny things...

Today, in the jewelry store, several sets of jadeite nuggets have just been launched. They are all jade shipped from the south and carved by the best masters. A set costs at least a few hundred taels of silver.

The shopkeeper of the jewelry store is also a businessman, and he hires mistresses who are not high-ranking but have rich families.

Most of these housewives know each other, but when they buy things, they compete with each other, and they are also very lively.

At this time, a lady in charge, who was sent out by a wealthy lady to go shopping, hurried back, went upstairs and shouted, "Madam, there is a big fuss."

Everyone was startled, and they all put down their things, their eyes full of curiosity.

The rich lady glared at the steward and scolded, "What are you shouting for?"

After saying that, he nodded and apologized to everyone, "I'm sorry, my slave doesn't understand the rules..."

A woman who was on good terms with her quickly responded, "Okay, Sister Feng, don't stop me. Let us hear what kind of excitement is going on outside."

The rich woman glanced at everyone and saw that their eyes were also full of gossip, so she felt a little proud, and then told the nun in charge, "Then tell me."

Fearing that she would be punished, the steward quickly responded, "Go back to Madam, the summer banquet held by the royal concubine in the palace has been dismissed. I heard that many girls came out crying!"

Crying out?

Everyone subconsciously straightened their backs, wishing they could just tuck a napkin around their necks and wait to eat.

The rich lady was even more anxious and urged, "Why did you come out crying? Have you been punished by the imperial concubine?"

"No, no!" the steward waved her hands and replied with a mysterious face, "I heard that they were competing with Princess Kangle to compose poems at the summer banquet, and she was beaten by Princess Kangle. Her head and face were swollen like a pig, and she was humiliated. It’s all shame, so I’m crying.”

"What? Princess Kangle hit someone?! How did she hit someone?"

“If you don’t drink and enjoy flowers at a banquet, how can you compete in poetry?”

“Who was beaten? Which girl was it from?”

Everyone nearby couldn't bear it any longer and started shouting.

But the grandma in charge didn’t know the details. She just heard people talk about it on the street and hurried back to tell the story.

Fortunately, there is also a smart and reliable shopkeeper of the jewelry store, who has already sent a man out to investigate.

Originally, in their business, they were familiar with the stewards of many mansions, so it was not difficult to hear some gossip.

So, within two quarters of an hour, the man came back.

“Ladies, you know, the summer banquet in the palace today is really lively. The imperial concubine invited more than 80 ladies to the palace, and those ladies also brought their own girls.

“At the banquet, many girls took the initiative to perform their talents to add to the fun. The third princess and Princess Kangle also went!

“Someone mentioned the number one scholar of the Li family and said that Princess Kangle’s sister should also be knowledgeable and talented.

“So, the princess proposed to compete in poetry writing, and the ladies from each family could submit ten people to form a team.”
