C178 Crippled Love

The House of Yang is holding the most popular feast in the house, the entire arrangement of the banquet had actually overshadowed the day when the eldest daughter of the Yang Clan married into the Duke of Jiu's Residence. And the main character of today was precisely Yang Lanqing of Jizi. The reason why the Yang family held such a grand ceremony was not because of anything else, but because they had Duan Shuang backing them up.

Originally, there would not be so many upper-class ladies participating in the wedding ceremony of a mere female official. However, the invitation sent out by the Yang family was stamped with the great seal of Zhen'an King's Mansion. Because of this unique invitation, even Eldest Imperial Princess personally came.

After being humiliated by Jiegeng that day, Yang Lanqing immediately cried in front of Duan Shuang and cried. Indeed, she was able to exchange for a set of expensive clothes.

When Yang Lanqing appeared in front of everyone, everyone exclaimed.

"Princess Renxi has arrived!"

While Yang Lanqing was still enjoying the praises of the crowd, Jiegeng also came to the Yang Mansion.

Yang Lanqing raised her head high and took the most solemn steps as she waved her skirt to meet Jiegeng.

She originally thought that her attire today would definitely be able to suppress Jiegeng by a few heads. How did she know? When Jiegeng appeared in front of everyone, she immediately snatched away Yang Lanqing's limelight. If one were to say that Yang Lanqing today was a peony flower in full bloom and was graceful and wealthy, then Jiegeng would be a pure and clean daffodil. She was slim and graceful, like a fairy.

Originally, the peony should be the king of flowers, and Yang Lanqing's style would not be suppressed by Jiegeng. However, the bad thing was that the dress on Yang Lanqing's body was too gorgeous. It did not match her current bearing and her entire person became the contrast of the dress. On the other hand, although Jiegeng had a simple cut, it brought out Jiegeng's elegant temperament. Although the dress was beautiful, it would not take away the natural beauty of the person wearing it. Everyone's attention was focused on the person, not the dress.

Jiegeng looked at the dress Yang Lanqing was wearing and forcefully held back her laughter.

Wasn't this the dress that she disliked a long time ago? No, compared to the one earlier, this one seemed to be even more exaggerated!

"Princess Renxi, you're here." Even though she was at a disadvantage in comparison, Yang Lanqing would never allow herself to be defeated again and again in today's home field.

Jiegeng smiled and nodded.

"This is the congratulatory gift I prepared for you."

Yang Lanqing received the congratulatory gift and handed it to the servant.

"Why don't you open it and see what it is? I also want to know if my gift fits your intentions." Jiegeng was still smiling.

Under everyone's gaze, Yang Lanqing could only temporarily follow Jiegeng's wishes and open the gift box.

"Princess, what is the meaning of this?" After Yang Lanqing opened the box, her face immediately turned ugly.

"The pupae has the ability to remove wind, strengthen the spleen, quench thirst, and calm the mind. Today's banquet will certainly take a lot of effort. You just need it; fresh flowers. That is a congratulatory gift for you. It often competed with wheat for food because it wanted to remind you that you are a human being. Be careful of the dangerous people by your side. As for the willow leaf, it can perform Vitality. It cured the itch on the skin. Recently, the weather was humid and hot, so he boiled water with the willow leaf. It could be used to prevent diseases in advance. Although the gifts I give are not expensive, they are all my wishes and blessings to you! "

The corner of Yang Lanqing's mouth twitched, and she could only forcefully endure this evil flame.

Silkworm, flower, papyrus, willow. When combined, wasn't it precisely the "broken flower and broken willow"?!

The surrounding people who understood it all picked up their handkerchief, and covered their mouths as they secretly laughed.

"Princess, you're being considerate!" Yang Lanqing gritted her teeth but did not know how to refute Jiegeng. In front of everyone, she could only swallow this humiliation for the time being.

Yang Lanqing immediately closed the box and quickly let the servants take it out.

"The princess's dress today is really unique." Yang Lanqing quickly diverted everyone's attention.

"Your dress is not bad either."

"The group leader is too kind!" When she heard Jiegeng hooked on the hook, Yang Lanqing immediately counterattacked, "This was specially made by His Royal Highness for today's Ting Ritual."

After showing off, Yang Lanqing immediately raised her head which was slightly lowered due to Jiegeng's intentional humiliation just now.

"Is that so? So what?" Jiegeng replied with disdain.

The words that she was prepared to say were once again forcefully blocked by Jiegeng. Yang Lanqing felt that she was about to suffer internal injuries from holding it in.

"Zhen'an King has arrived!"

Yang Lanqing heard this and could not help but look at Jiegeng provocatively. At this moment, it is not time for me to feel proud.

Yang Lanqing immediately walked outside to welcome Duan Shuang.

"Your Highness, you have finally come." Yang Lanqing pouted.

"You are very beautiful today." Duan Shuang looked in Yang Lanqing's direction and said softly.

Yang Lanqing immediately lowered her head, looking like a shy girl.

Jiegeng, who was behind Yang Lanqing, immediately looked at Duan Shuang.

The corner of Jiegeng's lips slightly raised, and then she moved her lips.

Duan Shuang saw everything. He really knew that what Jiegeng said just now was exactly "you are not bad" as well.

Duan Shuang nodded and smiled.

Yang Lanqing saw Duan Shuang's smile and thought that he was satisfied with her.

Duan Shuang then got someone to hand over a beautifully decorated gift box. "I came so late because I went to get you a gift. If you blame me for this, you won't be able to make up for the loss."

Yang Lanqing took the brocade box in surprise and asked shyly. "I wonder what His Royal Highness prepared for Lanqing."

"Open it and see."

Yang Lanqing held the brocade box and opened the lid in a flamboyant manner.

"Wow!" Yang Lanqing immediately exclaimed in admiration, "What a big pearl."

"Isn't this the Night-Luminescent Pearl from the pawnshop?" One of them said, "This pearl has been in the pawnshop for several days. I heard that it was sold for 10,000 taels today. So it was Master Zhen'an King who bought it."

"Ten thousand taels!"

This astronomical figure caused quite a stir among the people present.

"Your Highness, how can Lanqing accept such a valuable gift!" At first, Yang Lanqing stared unblinkingly at this night pearl, but on her face, she still declined a bit and handed the night pearl back.

"Today is your big day, so you naturally can accept this gift." Duan Shuang used his hand to block it, "If you don't accept it, is it because you don't welcome this king?"

"Of course not!" Yang Lanqing happily let the servant girl accept the gift. Then she deliberately looked at Jiegeng provocatively and found that Jiegeng's gaze was completely on Duan Shuang.

Yang Lanqing quickly blocked Jiegeng's sight, "Your Royal Highness, please come in!"

Jiegeng looked at Duan Shuang's moving figure and frowned, You are really willing to spend this money on her!

In the Imperial Palace.

"Ten thousand taels?" The Emperor questioned, "This pearl, how is it worth this price?"

"Reporting to the Emperor, at that time, there was another buyer who competed with the Royal Highness for that pearl. In the end, the Royal Highness used this sky-high price to obtain the Night-Luminescent Pearl."

"Simply absurd! Duan Shuang actually does things so inappropriately. Sima Ling, immediately escort Zhen into the Imperial Palace! "

"This lowly subject obeys the decree." Duan Shuang's absurd actions had far exceeded Sima Ling's expectations, but this was exactly what he wanted.
