The ladies covered each other up, acting as if no one was paying attention to the Princess' predicament. The truth was that it wasn't important, but more importantly, whether the guest was happy or not. The princess had invited all the young ladies to watch her make an embarrassment out of herself. Although some of them were as upset as Lady Jiang, they still followed her instructions. Now that the princess had made an embarrassment of herself, they naturally had to look out for her.

Miss Zhang had just been ostracized by the princesses and made a fool of in front of many young ladies, and was then touched by a lowly servant. For the ladies, such a thing was undoubtedly a great shame and humiliation. However, if such a thing happened in the Xue family's mansion, as well as the guards by the princess's side, no matter if it was the Xue family, Zhang family, or the royal family, they would not let the matter spread. This was also the reason why Mrs. Zhang did not crack her face.

Standing by the side alone, with new clothes and luxurious jewelry, Miss Zhang and I, the Xue Family, are really generous. The value of our clothes is already quite high. In Ms. Zhang's hand was a fan made of ivory, embroidered with a pair of kingfisher birds. They stood on the branches with bright feathers, like a pair of real birds on a fan.

It was early spring now, and Miss Zhang was still wearing clothes to protect herself from the cold. She didn't have such a fan when she came here, but now there was such a rare plaything in her new clothes. It must be an apology gift from the Xue Clan.

She used a fan to cover up her face, but the curve of her eyes revealed what she was thinking. I am slightly regretful. After suffering such a loss, why don't you know how to restrain yourself?

I rushed over to pull Miss Xue and Second Miss Jiang. Second Miss Jiang stood a little closer to us, and with a stretch of my hand, I grabbed her by the blouse and dragged her over, but I couldn't care less about Miss Xue and Second Miss Jiang.

Ah!" Miss Zhang shouted loudly, "Mother!" Mother! " Ms. Zhang squatted on the ground, covering her face as she screamed for pain. She threw the fan on the ground. Eldest Miss Xue was in a hurry to protect her little sister. Her clothes were wet, so she didn't say anything. She held onto Fourth Miss Xue and fell to the ground. The hairpin had loosened, making her look really miserable.

It turned out that the princess saw the gloating expression of Ms. Zhang through the cracks of the crowd, how could she not be annoyed. The princess saw the look of schadenfreude through the cracks of the crowd, how could she not be angry, the jade leaves of the tree had been pampered for many years, where no one dared to laugh at her. Ms. Zhang used her fan to hide her face, thinking that others wouldn't be able to see her expression. Not to mention that the fan was only half hidden, who wouldn't be able to see her actions clearly?

The face of the princess changed as if she had thought of something. She went forward to help the female officials and the maidservants, who had rolled into a ball, along with Miss Xue and Miss Xue. Miss Xue's hands and elbows were slightly scraped, and Miss Xue Si was left in a sorry state, but there was nothing wrong with her. The Princess looked at Big Miss Xue with shame. "Big Sister, I didn't mean to do it." Could the princess call him elder sister, and in such a short period of time, make the princess have a whole new level of respect for him? Miss Xue shook her head. "No worries."

Upon hearing Miss Zhang's voice, Madam Zhang could not sit still any longer and hurriedly ran over. With a single glance, she saw her daughter squatting on the ground, covering her face with her hands. Other than Miss Xue who had just fallen, Second Miss Xue and Princess were surrounding her daughter, asking about the situation at the same time.

Lady Zhang squeezed through the crowd and pulled Miss Zhang up by the shoulders. She tried to break her hand, but Miss Zhang kept her hand to her face to protect it. It must have been a serious injury, otherwise she would not have delayed her treatment and not shown it to everyone.

"Lady Zhang …" Miss Xue struggled to walk over, but Miss Xue immediately supported her older sister. The princess didn't move as she stood behind Lady Zhang and Miss Zhang, looking somewhat guilty. A woman's appearance and reputation were most important, but the princess destroyed two things that were most important to her as a woman.

"Hurry up and rest!" Although Madam Zhang's words were filled with concern, her tone was clearly different from when she first came as a guest. Her words were clearly cold and distant.

"Eldest girl, what happened to you two?" Old Lady Xue's voice rang out and Miss Xue smiled wryly. Her nimble steps immediately became lame. Miss Xue Si quickly asked, "Elder sister, are you alright?" Miss Xue smiled weakly. With her wrinkled clothes and loose hair, she looked quite tired. Miss Xue helped Miss Xue, who was unable to move, to speak to the madame. The female officials escorted the princess to Old Lady Xue.

"Good boy! "Good boy!" Zhang Qingrui hugged Miss Zhang tightly, tears falling from her eyes. She couldn't wipe them away even if they slid down her cheeks. Her makeup was all gone. Big Mrs. Xue stood to the side with a worried look. Not long later, the head maid returned with a veil and bamboo hat. Lady Zhang personally helped her put it on, causing her to let go. Through the hazy white veil, she could still see the red and swollen face of Ms. Zhang.

Mrs. Xue accompanied Mrs. Zhang to the side room. After the moment of shock, the young ladies were somewhat unsettled. They obediently sat down next to their mother and ate their meal. The princess stared at the chopsticks in front of her as she forced herself to keep a straight face.

"Reporting to the old granny, the great sir has brought King Qi Palace down." A little girl ran in from outside to reply, and on her face, there was a trace of fear and anger.

"Take your sisters and hide." Old Lady Xue quickly gave the orders, and the few mothers and maidservants hurriedly put down the curtains. Eldest Miss Xue limped to find a place to sit, while the other misses also took Miss Xue and Miss Xue as seats at the back.

Through the curtain, I could see the silhouettes of a white and a blue man enter the room. The fine bamboo curtain obscured my face, and the tall, well-mannered man was none other than King Qi. He wore a blue robe, and the shorter one was Xue Dalang.

"Old Ancestor!" The moment King Qi entered the door, he gave a deep bow. Old Lady Xue and the other wives stood up in shock. Miss Xue gave a "ya" before standing up as well.
