The daughter of the Marquis is too delicate, the abstinent prince pinches her waist and loves her

Chapter 28 I’ll wait and see

Hearing this, Sheng Yunqing couldn't help but sneer and said, "Do I need you to teach me?"

Bai Jinxiu smiled and said, "You haven't learned any etiquette in the past eight years. The palace is not like the desolate mountain where you live. I'm just afraid that you might offend the Queen Mother."

When Sheng Yukun was not around, she became much more arrogant. It seemed that she was once very favored by the empress dowager.

"Oh, you have learned the etiquette of our family, so can you pay your respects? Are you going to sit like this in front of the Empress Dowager? How rude." Sheng Yueying's mouth sounded like poison.

"You!" Bai Jinxiu was so angry that she tightly grasped the armrests of the wheelchair with both hands.

Sheng Yunqing glanced at her with disdain and said, "Don't bother. I have learned all the etiquette of a noble lady before you entered the mansion."

Bai Jinxiu bit her lip hard and said, "This is naturally the best. The Queen Mother has a weak heart and cannot stand stimulation. You have to be careful when you speak."

Sheng Yunqing walked up to her, leaned down to look at her, and said with a smile: "What? At this time, you still think you can keep it a secret?"

Bai Jinxiu raised her eyes and glared at her, sneering, and said, "As long as the Queen Mother likes me, what difference does it make whether I'm a real daughter or not?"

Sheng Yunqing narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her forehead which was surrounded by black energy. He was afraid that she would bleed today.

"I'll see."

The scale of this banquet was not large, and only ten daughters of wealthy families were invited.

The noble ladies bowed to the empress dowager behind the pearl curtain and took their seats one after another.

Looking at Bai Jinxiu, who was just pushed in a wheelchair with her face covered with a veil, the noble ladies looked at her in confusion, exchanging glances with the people around them, and whispering to each other.

"I heard that Sheng Jintang fell a few days ago and broke his leg."

"No way? Why did I hear that someone interrupted you?"

"Who dares to hit the eldest daughter of the Sheng family's legs? She is the treasure of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."

"She is not the eldest daughter of the Sheng family. She is a fake."

"Yes, I heard that too. Her legs were broken by the Marquis of Zhenbei."

"Can't you?"

"Anyway, it's hilarious to see her like this."

After he finished speaking, several noble ladies covered their faces and laughed secretly.

Sheng Yunqing remained silent, just eating the grapes on the table and looking at Bai Jinxiu with a smile in his eyes.

Bai Jinxiu lowered her head, her face flushed with shame and anger, but no one could see her clearly because of the veil.

"What are you talking about? Tell me about it."

The empress dowager behind the pearl curtain was dressed in luxurious brown attire, and her deep voice revealed a kind smile.

She couldn't see clearly through the beaded curtain, so she said, "Jintang, come here. I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much."

"Empress Dowager, her name is no longer Sheng Jintang. I heard that she changed her name to Bai Jinxiu." A noble lady said to the Empress Dowager.

"Oh? Why did you change your name for no reason?" The Queen Mother frowned in confusion and said, "Never mind, come here first and let me take a look."

"Yes." Bai Jinxiu responded nervously and was pushed into the pearl curtain by the maid.

She bowed her head and saluted: "Empress Dowager, please forgive me for not being able to stand up." "Oh, child, how did you become like this?" The Queen Mother looked at her, constantly looking her up and down, with pity in her eyes.

Bai Jinxiu's eyes dodged and she whispered, "Yes... I accidentally fell into a well some time ago. The doctor said that I will be well in a few days."

"That thing on your face..." The Queen Mother wanted to raise her hand to lift her veil, but she dodged.

"Your Majesty, your face is injured. It will scare you. It's better not to look at it."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded, raised her hand and held hers, saying, "I'm sorry for your hardship, child. I heard that you and Chen'er were engaged. I heard about such a happy event right after I came back. I was just about to congratulate you. The Emperor has finally done something that makes me happy. You must get better soon and marry Chen'er."

"Empress Dowager, it was not her who was engaged to Prince Ye." Sheng Yueying said.

"What?" The Queen Mother frowned, held Bai Jinxiu's hand tightly, and said, "I have already heard the Emperor's order, how could it be wrong?"

Sheng Yunqing stood up, bowed to the Queen Mother, and said, "Queen Mother, Yueying is right. It is this servant who is betrothed to Prince Ye."

Hearing this strange voice, the Queen Mother's voice turned cold: "Who are you? Come forward."

The maid opened the beaded curtain, and Sheng Yunqing walked to the Queen Mother, glanced at Bai Jinxiu who looked very nervous, and said, "Your servant Sheng Yunqing is the young lady of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion."

The Queen Mother considered it carefully and said, "No, I have seen all the young ladies of the Sheng family before, but you look unfamiliar to me."

"To answer the Queen Mother, if I were not a daughter of the Sheng family, I would not be able to enter the palace today. I accidentally got lost eight years ago and was only found by the Marquis' Mansion a few days ago."

"She was just a country girl..." The Queen Mother said with a hint of rejection in her eyes, "How can a country girl enter the palace? How can you compare with Jintang?"

"The Empress Dowager has forgotten again. She has changed her name to Jinxiu." Sheng Yunqing reminded with a smile.

"You!" She slapped her face again. Her exquisite makeup and elegant appearance, her luxurious clothes, her every move and gesture were the demeanor of a lady from a noble family, but she couldn't find any fault with her. She frowned and said, "You are sharp-tongued. I don't like you!"

What's wrong with the emperor? Did she get confused and hear it wrong?

She looked at Bai Jinxiu who also lowered her head and said, "I don't agree with this marriage. No matter what her name is, I have chosen her."

Hearing this, Bai Jinxiu let out a breath secretly and slightly raised the corners of her lips.

The Queen Mother stared at Sheng Yunqing and said, "I'm telling you, Prince Ye Jinchen can only marry the eldest daughter of the Sheng family!"

Hearing this, Bai Jinxiu's body suddenly stiffened and she trembled guiltily.

Sheng Yunqing blinked and said, "It is a great honor for me that the Empress Dowager thinks highly of me the first time she sees me."

The Queen Mother looked at her in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Bai Jinxiu turned her head to Sheng Yunqing and said, "Yunqing, how can you be so rude to the Queen Mother?"

Sheng Yunqing sneered, raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder, and said, "Is it your courtesy to deliberately conceal the truth from the Queen Mother?"

"I..." Bai Jinxiu choked and bit her lip, not daring to speak.

The Queen Mother patted her hands and soothed her, "Child? Do you have anything to say to me? What is going on?"

"Please forgive me, Queen Mother. I didn't hide it on purpose." Bai Jinxiu suddenly sobbed, her eyes wandering as she said, "Queen Mother, actually... I am not the eldest daughter of the Sheng family. The eldest daughter is... the one next to me... Sheng Yunqing."

The Queen Mother was suddenly startled: "What?"

Sheng Yunqing patted her shoulder, then walked around to her other side and said to the Queen Mother, "Empress Dowager, even she herself admitted it, so the person on the imperial edict was me."
