After cleaning everything up, she headed to the main courtyard. Because they were so close, she didn't set off that early. By the time she arrived at the Jiang Clan's reception hall, it was already filled to the brim with people.

In the main hall sat the gracefully dressed Jiang Shi. Beside her stood her mother, who was respectfully stooping to pour tea.

The first chair on the left side of the wangfei's body was empty, presumably left for the wangfei. Unexpectedly, the first chair on the right hand side of the Jiang Clan was also empty today, she guessed that this was something the wangfei had left especially for her.

Qi Qi turned her head to look at Second Aunt, who should have been sitting first on the right, only to see her face filled with indignation as she glared at her.

Qi Qi pretended not to understand her expression. She first bowed to the wangfei, then stood up and walked over to the last seat as usual.

"Qiqi, come, later on. Your seat is right here." The wangfei took a sip from her teacup and pointed at the chair to her right with her white fingers.

Qi Qi hurriedly stood up, and the jade pearl hairpin on his head made a melodious sound as it shook.

"Thank you for raising me, Princess Consort. It's just that this humble servant doesn't dare to disobey etiquette."

"What do you dare or not? Your highness said it last night. Now, you are the only one in this mansion, and you have the prince's bloodline in your stomach, so you should be careful."

As soon as these words left the mouth of the Jiang Clan, all the women in the room cast their resentful gazes in their direction.

"Seventh Madame shouldn't be acting this way, but since esteemed wangfei has orders, then Seventh Seventh Madame should be respectful and do as she says."

Qi Seven lowered his head and walked step by step towards the first seat on the Jiang Clan's right. As he walked, he intentionally revealed the ancient jade bracelet on his wrist.

The Jiang Clan wanted to place themselves on the fire to arouse the wrath of the crowd. The original Huang Qide might have been afraid of this situation, but she wasn't. On the contrary, this was exactly what she wanted.

In this month's time, as long as she became the target of all these women in the backyard, her name would naturally spread into the ears of Consort Xu. In this month's time, as long as she became the target of all these women in the backyard, her name would naturally spread into the ears of Consort Xu.

Only then would she have the chance to truly interact with the Xu family. As long as she had enough opportunities to interact with the Xu family, she would have ways to let the Xu family understand the current situation and allow her to clash with the Jiang family.

The Xu family was such a proud and aloof person that even the wangfei did not catch their eyes, and they were even more dismissive of her. Just like before, when she had been punished to kneel, she had only seen the Xu family's silhouette from far away in the back garden. Before she had even gotten close, she could only obey and kneel.

"Seventh sister, I've never seen the bracelet on your hands, but looking at the jade, Cui Er is not green and there are no flaws in the middle. I presume it's worth a lot?" Third Madame, who was sitting next to Qi Qi, looked askance at the bracelet on Qi Qi's hand and asked sourly.

I don't know if this bracelet is expensive or not, but the Prince said that it was carved out of ancient jade, and although it looked a bit simple, it was very nurturing. Yesterday, he had someone send someone to bring it over, saying that he must take it with him and use it to nurture the fetus. "I would never have dared to bring such a precious bracelet, but since the prince has ordered it, I wouldn't dare disobey."

All of them gritted their teeth as they tightened their grimaces on the handkerchief in their hands. They wished that they could tear seven to seven apart, but they forced a smile on their faces. Having said all that, what else could they say other than a few sour words of congratulations?

"These bracelets are good, but they're not rare. I've seen quite a few of them at Consort Xu's place. Consort Xu didn't see any of them at all. Last time, she even said that if you liked them, you'd reward me?"

As the room was filled with fake laughter, a voice suddenly rang out. Seventh Madame turned her head and saw that the person who had spoken was a loyal follower of Concubine Xu. It was as if his family was a subordinate of the Xu Family.

"Qi Qi Qi has never seen anything of the world before. Let alone such precious ancient jade, even if it was a normal street toy, it would still be extremely valuable. After all, this is a gift from the prince."

When she heard her husband's words, her face turned cold. She was about to say something else when she was interrupted by the wangfei.

"Alright!" No matter what the Prince sends, it is all from the Prince's heart. No matter if it's precious or not, what matters is that you guys are the same as the Seventh Prince, to give birth to the Prince's child. "

The Jiang family looked on with satisfaction at the envious eyes of the crowd as they leisurely sipped on the cup of tea in front of them, as if it was so delicious.

"Alright, since you've all been sitting here for so long this morning, you can leave now." After speaking and letting the crowd leave, only then did the Jiang clan turn their heads to look at the Seventh Brother who stood up and prepared to leave as well.

"Qi Qi, you stay here and accompany me to eat. We sisters will have a good chat."

Everyone who had yet to withdraw, upon hearing this, recalled the special treatment that Qi Seventh had received in the past two days and couldn't help but turn back and glare fiercely at her.

Qi Qi lowered her head and pretended to be scared. She moved closer to Sun Yiyi, nervously holding Sun Yiyi's hand. Her big eyes were filled with tears.

Out of the corner of her eye, the Jiang Clan looked at Qi Qi Qi, then shot a look at Sun Yiyi's mom, and the smile on her face deepened.

In the end, mud couldn't support the wall. Even with such a large bargaining chip, she still couldn't get onto the stage. She thought this girl had grown a little bit! So these were all fake. Those few emotionless eyes were actually frightened to such an extent.

"Come, Seventh Seven, come sit here." With the help of the maidservants, the Jiang Clan walked to the already prepared dining table and sat down. While wiping her hands with a handkerchief that had already been wet, she called for Qi Qi to come over.

Under Sun Yiyi's mother's gaze, Qi Qi Qi slowly walked to the dining table, but she did not sit down. Instead, she clasped her hands and looked as if she didn't know what to do.

"Esteemed wangfei, this servant … "I …"

"Come, don't be afraid. If I told you to sit, you should have sat down. Just now, you were completely terrified. It's fine, they are just jealous."

The Jiang family pulled Qi Qi Qi over to their side and sat her down. They even picked up a pair of spicy bamboo shoots and placed them into the bowl in front of Qi Qi.

This spicy bamboo shoot is very dry. In the morning, porridge is the most appetizing dish. Come, try it and see if it suits your appetite. Now that you are a person with two bodies, you have to eat more.

Qi Qi Qi obediently picked up the food and placed it in her mouth. After chewing it a few times, she finally raised her head and smiled at the Jiang Clan.

"Indeed, it's very appetizing. Thank you for your gift, Princess Consort."

"In the future, you can keep the rewards that the prince has given you. I don't lack these things, so there's no need to send them to me." The Jiang Clan used a small silver spoon to scoop up the bird's nest porridge as they smiled and instructed Seventh Seven.

Since she wanted to put on an act, why wouldn't she keep it until the end? No matter how good these things were, she had to live to enjoy it, so long as this girl gave birth to a child, there was no need for her to live anymore. At that time, no matter how many things she had, they would all fall into her hands.

Qi Qi silently sized up the expression on the Jiang Clan's face. With the aid of the porridge, she concealed the ridicule on her face. The Jiang Clan was really confident in themselves. Was she really that confident that they could fully grasp her?

"Seven, seven, you saw it too. There are so many women in the backyard of the prince's mansion, it used to be alright, but now that you're pregnant, it becomes a thorn in their side. But don't worry, I will always protect you, but you have to be careful yourself, okay? It's said that it's hard to defend against an arrow when you're aiming at the spear! "

After having their breakfast, the Jiang Clan was not in a hurry to get someone to remove the table. Instead, they had someone boil another pot of Dragon Well before the Rain and had them chat for a long time.

"I know, Mommy Sun also told me last night. I thought about it all night and decided to be strong for this child, but when I saw you in the morning …" "Then..." "Then …"

"It's fine, take your time, we are not in a hurry. There will be more days to come! Just remember, if you encounter any trouble, come and tell me. When I'm busy, it's fine to look for Sun Yiyi's mother. "

The Jiang Clan was satisfied with Qi Qi Qi's reply. They then ordered someone to remove the table and walk back to the main hall with her hand in hand.

"Esteemed wangfei, what about Consort Xu …"

Qi Qi knew that the Jiang Clan had done so much today. Their true purpose had yet to be revealed, and in their hearts, other than Consort Xu, who else could it be. After tormenting themselves for the morning, she was also tired, so she might as well open her mouth.

"What happened to Consort Xu?" The Jiang family looked at Qi Qi with a kind and kind smile.

I was worried that after the time limit for my wife had expired, she would cause trouble for me. I don't care, but I still have the bloodline of the prince in my stomach. If something happens to happen, how am I going to explain it to the prince? "

As he said this, Qi Qi Qi even pulled out a handkerchief and wiped her forehead. After looking carefully, she could see that there was indeed a thin layer of cold sweat on her forehead.

The ancients were dressed in layers after layers, and now that she was pregnant, pregnant women were prone to hot and dry, but in the Jiang Clan's eyes, this was the best proof of the fear in Qi Qi's heart.

Seventh Seven, ah, I didn't want to say these words to you so early, but you have to remember, as a mother, you have to be strong. Although the Xu family's background is strong, and the prince has to tolerate it when necessary, but now you have the biggest bargaining chip in hand, ah, the prince only has this son in your stomach, and now you can use this child in your stomach to fight with the Xu family. You're not thinking for yourself, but you have to think for this child.

The Jiang family turned their head to look at Seventh Seven, staring into her eyes and asked again, "What do you think? Seven to seven! "
