Zhao Jingyi came out after a while, and the current Empress Yang had to endure for many years before he could finally become the main empress of the palace from an imperial concubine. Others would proclaim her to be a thousand years old, but to the Eldest Princess, she was merely a woman who took over the position of her mother.

"Wen Jiu." Zhao Jingyi reached out his hand and rubbed Wen Jiu's face, "A person who puts on an act at such a cheap price is truly unpleasing to the eye."

"But the princess smiles every time she says I don't please her." Wen Jiu looked into her eyes, without a single trace of the depressed and humiliated look he had when they first met. He laughed, his almond eyes shining brightly, "If I don't desire to make the princess happy, then I would rather be someone who doesn't desire to be."

Zhao Jingyi laughed and looked away, "I hope that you can still act so shameless in front of others."

Wen Jiu laughed without saying a word.

The cruise liner headed towards the dragon boat with the wind. The palace maids were standing around with octagonal lanterns in their hands. The lights were dazzling, and even the wind in front of them was getting hotter.

The ladies at the banquet were discussing softly. The old Empress and Empress Yang were seated at the head, looking quite spirited.

Zhao Jingyi did not avoid the suspicion either, and brought Wen Jiu to greet the two, as if it was common for her to be together with this Young Madame from Xie Family.

One said "to meet father", one said "to meet emperor", and the latter half of the sentence "Empress" was in strange unison.

Wen Jiu looked at Eldest Princess with surprise, only to see that the other party had an indifferent expression, as proud as a phoenix, he would not bend his waist for an ordinary mortal.

She only knew that Zhao Jingyi came from the empress dowager, and did not have any sort of relationship with the person sitting on the Phoenix Seat. However, she did not know that this princess would actually treat Empress Yang with such indifference in front of everyone.

From the looks of it, it seemed as if he had come all the way for her.

Wen Jiu thought.

The court ladies below seemed to have long gotten used to Eldest Princess's ways. Each and every one of them smiled and wished the empress an eternal life, wishing that they could use all of their family's resources to give her a birthday present.

Zhao Yu, who was sitting beside the Empress Yang now, stared at Wen Jiu for a long time, acting like the Seventh Princess, but his tone was a little sour, "I have often heard that there was a female God of Wealth in the Dijing City, in just a short half a year, she had already surpassed the first-rich Wang Family, I wonder what kind of congratulatory gift did the Wealth God Wen send over today?"

It was probably because Xie Heng's attacks were not light previously, that Zhao Yu had been recuperating from his injuries, the arrogant and despotic little princess' personality had diminished a lot, and she just found Wen Jiu even more unpleasing to the eye.

Everyone stretched out their necks to watch the commotion.

The little princess had given her the title of "Wealth God Wen". If the gifts presented to the Empress Yang were not expensive enough, with a few heavy words, it would be easy for her to be charged with a crime on the spot.

Wen Jiu thought for a moment and could not help but remind himself: If you want to live a good life, you must not offend women.

Especially the women of the palace.

There were quite a few pure and flawless white jades, and it just so happened to be as light as a piece of paper, a total of 28 pieces. When she folded the fan, it didn't look too heavy, but when she opened it, it was a peony painting.

Wen Jiu said, "I wish Empress Fang Hua will remain here forever."

This wedding gift could not be considered good or bad, it could only be described with one word, "expensive."

Wen Jiu had originally wanted to earn a lot of silver from Empress Yang's birthday banquet, so she would show some sincerity by giving a gift to others. The ladies who frequently went to various banquets all knew that Empress Yang was an elegant person, and liked antique calligraphy and paintings the most.

But Xie Xuan had a bad temper, who knows when he would start acting like this and casually smash this precious object into her head. Not only was he blind with the money, he was also a deadly weapon.

After some thought, she brought it here.

Empress Yang seemed to like it, and praised Wen Jiu right away.

The expressions of the people in the crowd became more subtle as they listened. Who didn't give away rare things? Why was she so popular with the empress?

Wen Jiu received the praise without care for the reactions of the people around him

He thought to himself: I've spent so much money, but I can't listen to any of it?

This was a sudden change in the topic of conversation in the Empress Yang, "Who knows who will be like next?"

Wen Jiu pretended not to understand and said slowly: "I have been a Xie Family for a long time. When the leaves fall back to their roots next year, I will also be a wisp of my Xie Family."

The Empress Yang didn't say anything and instructed her to take a seat, which was extremely close to the front. Zhao Jingyi was too lazy to move, and directly sat together with her.

Today, all the nobles and officials of the Great Yan were gathered on the dragon boat, with men and women seated separately. The palace maids were standing with lanterns in their hands.

The people behind Wen Jiu all knew her, so after tasting the wine, they asked her about the new jewelry in the Golden Jade Pavilion and whether she could keep some of the clothes that she couldn't supply for herself.

She dealt with these ladies and ladies with extreme care. She dealt with more than a dozen of them by herself without letting them fall. It was not easy for her to turn her head to drink and take a breath of air.

Zhao Jingyi, who had been watching her for a long time, couldn't help but laugh, "You don't forget to do business no matter where you are. So many people are lusting after it for nothing. "

Eldest Princess's words were truly not pleasing to the ears, but he still carried a smile on his face as his gaze landed on the seat opposite him.

Wen Jiu also looked over there, and then saw the Royal Uncle Yang raise his glass towards her, and smiled.

The smile on Wen Jiu's face froze.

But Zhao Jingyi did not have the intention to let her go, and asked with interest: "Did you see that?"

Wen Jiu said: "Before, I only borrowed some silver from him, but my elder brother had already went to collect it. After clearing the bill, he did not have anything to do with it anymore, so why is the princess laughing now?"

Zhao Jingyi said: "You know everything."

Wen Jiu complained incessantly in his heart: I know your entire family!

The dining room was bustling with noise and excitement. The warm wind made them feel drowsy. This way, they would be able to listen to a bunch of good words during the banquet.

Tell the truth.

Wen Jiu didn't really like it.

But since he was here, he had to accompany him to the end of the hall. He had to sit properly in his sitting posture and smile, and it was even worse than going to jail.

As Zhao Jingyi was talking to her, a internal servant who was carrying a bottle of wine suddenly stumbled and fell, half a pot of wine spilling onto the Eldest Princess's sleeves.

In the blink of an eye, the surroundings quieted down.

The internal servant frantically kneeled on the ground and begged, "Please forgive me, Eldest Princess. Please spare this servant .."

Zhao Jingyi's lips still carried a smile, "Why are you panicking? I still haven't said what I'm going to do to you."

Old Emperor frowned, "Jingyi, today is your mother's birthday banquet."

Empress Yang immediately said: "What are you all standing around for, quickly take me to change my clothes!"

She had a fatherly and loving appearance.

Zhao Jingyi lifted her lips indifferently, when she got up, she said to Wen Jiu in a low voice, "They're going to be demons soon, be careful."

Wen Jiu nodded.

Not long after Eldest Princess left, the discussion returned to how it was before, as the lights flickered.

Wen Jiu saw that Crown Prince‘s Wife Li Yingyue had walked over gracefully and sat beside her without a care in the world.
