Jiang Yunshan sat in the middle of the crowd, listening to the young ladies who used to be of noble status flattering her in a veiled manner.
Given her previous status, she naturally wasn't qualified to attend the 70th birthday of the Duke Zhen Estate's Dowager Duchess. But now?
Jiang Yunshan looked around with satisfaction. Who would dare to look down on her now?
Little did she know that the noble young ladies in the distance were whispering, "Is this the concubine-born young lady of the General's Estate? She's just so-so. I don't know what kind of luck she had to be chosen by the imperial family. "
"That's right. She's really become a phoenix now."
"Her Royal Highness Princess Royal is here with Princess Qingyang!"
When the voice sounded, the noisy reception hall suddenly quieted down. The Dowager Duchess, who was over 70 years old, personally stood up to welcome the Princess Royal.
Jiang Yunshan clenched the handkerchief in her hand. When she came, the Dowager Duchess didn't even look at her and only sent her daughter-in-law to welcome her.
As for Jiang Lingzhen, the moment she came in, the people who were originally around her all gathered around her.
Jiang Yunshan could even see that many people were looking at her and Jiang Lingzhen, obviously comparing the two of them.
She lowered her head and looked at her clothes. They were newly made and were made of fabric bestowed by the palace. Among the guests, they were considered to be of high quality, but they still couldn't be compared to the tribute on Jiang Lingzhen.
Now that she only had one sister left, she would send one of the rare things she obtained to the Princess Royal's Estate. The Princess Royal loved her daughter like a treasure, so these rare things were almost all used on Princess Qingyang, Jiang Lingzhen.
Jiang Yunshan heard the women around her talking about the pigeon-egg-sized eastern pearls on the tip of Princess Qingyang's shoes. They were the treasures presented by the Northeastern King. The Empress received a pair, the Empress Dowager, who had been worshipping Buddha for a long time, received a pair, and the last pair was given to the Princess Royal.
Who knew that Jiang Lingzhen would decorate it on the tip of her shoes!
Just this pair of eastern pearls overshadowed the limelight of all the women present. Needless to say, the other things on Princess Qingyang were all rare treasures.
Jiang Yunshan only felt that all the gazes were sneering at her. She couldn't stay any longer and told the people around her that she wanted to go out for a walk.
She didn't know that when she saw her di mother come over, she didn't get up to greet her. Instead, she avoided her. Many people saw this and secretly sneered at her for being a concubine's daughter who didn't know etiquette.
When the Crown Prince came over, he immediately saw Gu Shengyin among the women.
He had always thought that Jiang Lingzhen would be his future wife. Although he felt that she was too old-fashioned and polite in front of him, overall, he was quite satisfied with this fiancée.
Who would have thought that her father, the Emperor, would send out a decree and betroth Jiang Yunshan to her as her concubine?
The moment he heard the decree, he thought in his heart, if Cousin Ah Zhen did not marry him, who would she marry? Who would be his Crown Princess in the future?
He could have as many women like Jiang Yunshan as he wanted. However, there were only a few women as beautiful as Jiang Lingzhen in the entire Tianqi Dynasty. Moreover, Jiang Lingzhen was the only woman who had such a noble status and inviolable temperament.
Ji Ye looked at Gu Shengyin, who was like the moon surrounded by stars in the crowd, and his eyes burned with passion. Who else was qualified to have such a beauty other than him, the future Emperor?
His state of mind was also quietly observed by others.
