Jiang Muyao didn't know that her semi-public identity as a "quasi-Wei princess" would be empty, so not only did she have no pressure on the current banquet, but when she looked around, she also had a sense of superiority in her hands.

She came down for a lap of entertainment, a little free, and didn't forget to take care of Song Yixiao: "Although this osmanthus cold cake is refreshing, it is not summer yet, and the wind is strong on the mountain, you eat a few pieces less, so as not to accumulate cold." ”

Song Yixiao was about to agree, but a maid suddenly came from behind, wandered for a while, then walked up to Jiang Muyao, leaned over and said, "Miss Jiang, something happened over there, do you want to go over and take a look?" ”

Jiang Muyao was stunned, recognized her clothes, it was the maid of Zhanchun Pavilion, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”

The house that the maid said was on both sides of the mountain path under the square, and more than a dozen houses were built against the mountain, hidden in the green trees and flowers.

When the group walked up, they passed by the door of the house. These houses can be inhabited like other pavilions and pavilions in the Zhanchun Pavilion, but now they are close to the place where the banquet is held, so they are specially vacated for changing clothes, sobering up and other purposes.

The spare clothes and hairpin rings brought by the people who went to the banquet will be placed inside, and they will be guarded by the subordinates of the Zhanchun Pavilion.

Now this maid has come to invite her, I'm afraid it's ......

Jiang Muyao and Song Yixiao couldn't stop thinking about it, and sure enough, the maid showed a look of surprise and melancholy, and whispered: "Miss Cui's people accidentally touched your makeup box, and a pair of jade steps broke off. I also went to invite Miss Cui over there, so I ......"

Song Yixiao was still muttering, could this matter have anything to do with the Lord of Nanzhang?

Otherwise, no matter how powerful the princess is, but Jiang Muyao's family background is not vulgar, and her aunt is the adoptive mother of King Wei.

As soon as I heard "Miss Cui Family", I was suddenly awe-inspired: "Which Miss Cui Family?" ”

"The niece of the concubine." Although Yu Buyao was not damaged by this maid, she was in charge of guarding, and she was also responsible for accidents, and when she saw Song Yixiao is Jiang Muyao's companion, she didn't dare to hide it, and said cautiously, "The one who is known for mercy." ”

"Sister Jiang, you see that the waiters over there have all carried food boxes, isn't the banquet about to start?" Song Yixiao's heart sank slightly, she hadn't heard that Jiang Muyao had a grudge with Cui Jianlian, was this coming for herself? was about to propose to go over with Jiang Muyao to take a look, but when he saw the side of the square, the conversation suddenly changed, "Do you want to leave the table later?" ”

Jiang Muyao looked at her and bowed slightly: "That's right, this won't work." Tell the maid, "You go back first, and say I know, and I'll go over when it's empty......"

Speaking of this, his face suddenly turned pale, "Which pair of jade steps is it?" Could it be the pair my grandmother left me?! ”

The maid was stunned and said: "The slave maid doesn't know, but I only see a pair of jade steps with pearls falling from the branches." ”

Before the words fell, he saw Jiang Muyao's face full of anger, and he took a deep breath before holding back, and said in a stiff tone: "Go down first, and then talk about it later!" ”

"My grandmother loved me the most when she was alive, so she left most of the hairpin rings to me before she died." Jiang Muyao was obviously in a very bad mood, and after the maid left, she was gloomy for a long time, but she couldn't help but confide in Song Yixiao, "That pair of jade steps is her favorite when she was a girl in her old age, and I didn't succeed when she was alive I asked for it several times, until ......."

The circles under his eyes suddenly turned red, and he bit his lips hard before he stopped.

Song Yixiao suspected that she was being affected by herself, she felt very guilty in her heart, and was about to say something to comfort, but Jiang Muyao sighed, waved her hand and said: "It's me who is not good, I knew earlier, I would rather change my dress than bring them!" ”

Obviously, it was to match her dress for a change of clothes today, so she brought this pair of baby walkers with her, who wanted to break it before she changed it.

Looking at her depressed appearance, Song Yixiao didn't know what to say for a while - fortunately, at this time, the music suddenly stopped, and everyone subconsciously looked at the main seat, and sure enough, the county lord of Qingjiang had already got up with a smile and announced the start of the banquet.

The county lord is not a wordy person, and he finished the scene in a few words.

At the end, the waiter removed the melon and fruit snacks in front of everyone and began to pass the dishes, and some maiko lined up to join in to help the fun.

The food tasted good, and the Maiko's dancing skills were very skillful - before she put it aside, Jiang Muyao must have enjoyed the feast. But now she is full of the pair of jade steps, and she can't wait to hurry up and get through the three rounds of wine, so as to make time to ask what is going on, and naturally feels like sitting on pins and needles.

Song Yixiao was no better than her, and just thought about it over and over again: "What is Cui Jianlian's purpose in doing this?" Is she here for me, or does she also have a grudge against Jiang Muyao? Or was he instructed by the lord of Nanzhang? ”

The two of them boiled to the banquet without knowing the taste, looked at the excitement around them, and confirmed that they could leave the table for the time being, Jiang Muyao hurriedly got up - Song Yixiao also got up, and said, "Sister Jiang, I'll go with you?" ”

Jiang Muyao was anxious to understand the situation, and thought that she was not at ease after listening to her confession, so she nodded after a little hesitation: "You can come, but try not to speak." That's not a good thing to see mercy. Sex. Son, don't be angry with you when the time comes! ”

Song Yi smiled bitterly, thinking that maybe you were the one who was angered!

But she felt guilty and felt that something was wrong, Jiang Muyao's identity was not lower than Cui Jianlian, in fact, regardless of the prince's words, the lintel of the Jiang family was faintly higher than the Cui family, if Cui Jianlian was only to calculate himself, why should he offend Jiang Muyao first?

Judging from Jiang Muyao's emphasis on the pair of jade steps, this feud is not so easy to solve!

Song Yixiao thought about it, and then left the scene behind Jiang Muyao and walked towards the Jingshe.

When I arrived at the Jingshe, I saw Jiang Muyao and Song Yixiao coming together, and the maid who had gone to inform Jiang Muyao before hurriedly greeted her: "Two young ladies here, please!" ”

Entering a room with her, Jiang Muyao saw the brocade handkerchief on the table at a glance, and a pair of jade steps were held on the handkerchief, all over the body were emerald colored, carved as a branch, and two pearls hung down on each branch - the pearl string was fine, but the hairpin body had been broken into four or five sections, and now it was barely put together.

"Cui Jian's pity on the master and servant?!" Seeing that it was really the pair of jade steps left by her grandmother, the last trace of luck in Jiang Muyao's heart was also shattered, and the anger that forced herself to press couldn't help but rise again, and asked the maid sharply.

"Miss Cui came over a moment ago, seeing that you haven't come yet, I think it's boring here, so I'll go out for a walk." The maid replied cautiously.

"She still thinks it's stuffy in the house?!" Jiang Muyao's face turned blue with anger, and she clenched her fists and asked, "Where did she go?!" ”

After the maid pointed out the direction, she turned around and walked out of the house - Song Yixiao felt that something was wrong, and was about to ask the maid a few more words, but naturally she couldn't take care of it when she saw this, so she hurriedly carried her skirt to chase: "Sister Jiang, calm down!" ”

But where will Jiang Muyao listen?

Song Yixiao chased her out of the door, still one step late, and the angry Jiang Muyao had already walked out with the maid a few feet away, and turned a deaf ear to her call.

The house they entered before was on higher ground, standing on the cloister outside the door and looking condescendingly, they could overlook the mountain path more than ten zhang away, a master and a servant were picking mountain flowers - the girl who looked like the master was light, graceful, and her side face was soft and gorgeous, and the silhouette of the year could be vaguely distinguished, which was Cui Jianlian.

When Song Yixiao saw them, they also found Jiang Muyao, and everyone was not used to shouting, so Cui Jianlian didn't say hello, but only raised the bouquet of mountain flowers in his hand towards Jiang Muyao as a greeting.

This action seems to be showing goodwill, but Jiang Muyao is in a terrible mood now, but she only thinks: "Her people broke such an important thing for me, don't stay in the house and wait for me to sincerely make amends, and I am still in the mood to come out and breathe!" And in the mood to come out and pick flowers!! ”

So when she came to Cui Jianlian, she saw Cui Jianlian handing over the bouquet, and opened it without thinking about it: "My thing is well placed there, how did your people break it?!" Say! ”

The smile that originally appeared on Cui Jianlian's face stiffened, revealing a look of grievance: "Sister Jiang, it's my fault ...... this matter."

"Of course you're wrong!" Jiang Muyao is not Song Yixiao, who has no one to support her under the fence, she and Cui Jianlian are already on an equal footing, especially this will be enough to take advantage of the reason, and the fire head does not give Cui Jianlian any face, unceremoniously interrupted her words, and reprimanded her with a face, "How did you train the maid?!" ”

"Such a clumsy person is also taken out!"

"This is still a banquet hosted by Qingjiang County!"

"What did you take the county lord's banquet for?!"

"Could it be that the Cui family is so harsh on you that they won't even give you a few decent maids?!"

"Or are you so wasted that you can't even manage the people around you?!"

"If you don't manage it well, you will ask for gender and bring it out to harm people!!"

When Song Yixiao rushed to the front, Jiang Muyao had already scolded Cui Jianlian so much that he couldn't even raise his head.

Seeing this situation, Song Yixiao became more and more suspicious: "Even if I only have a one-sided relationship with this surnamed Cui, but whether it is my mother's advice back then, or Mr. An's suggestion, it proves that this is not a master who is easy to bully!" Especially what happened to Zhiqin, which proves her ruthlessness...... Even if it's her fault this time, according to her sex. How could Zi be scolded by Sister Jiang like this, and he didn't reply a word?! ”

She was groaning, and suddenly heard Cui Jianpian seem to be unbearable in return: "Isn't it just a pair of jade steps?" What a rarity! You name a number, and I'll send someone to your door when you turn around - don't you just want to make a high price if you are so unrelenting! I'm used to you, isn't it this time?! ”

"Y-What did you say?!" Jiang Muyao attaches great importance to the pair of jade step shakers, purely because of the memory of her grandmother, how can a lady like her be so angry about the price of jade step shake? !

This will be Cui Jianpian so angry that her whole body trembles, and she eats her heart! Without thinking about it, he raised his finger to the tip of Cui Jianlian's nose and shouted sharply, "You say it again!! ”

Song Yixiao noticed the disdain and calculation in Cui Jianlian's eyes when she raised her head, her heart sank, and she hurriedly pressed Jiang Muyao's arm: "Sister Jiang, don't touch ......"

Before he finished speaking, Cui Jianlian had already followed the movements of Jiang Muyao's fingers, and simply fell backwards neatly!

With her heart-rending "Miss", the whole person rolled down more than ten stone steps in one breath before he could stop, his head tilted, and then he didn't, province, people, and things!

Jiang Muyao was dumbfounded!

Song Yixiao slowly pressed her arm, her eyes full of haze.
