Chapter 45: Raging Hate

"That's great, I think the same way!" Yao Xi listened to Jiang Xuening's words, as if taking a heart pill. The smile on her lips couldn't be suppressed, and it melted like ice. She said, "I'll write a letter to my father when I come back. I think although Zhang Zhe voluntarily withdrew from the marriage, he wasn't unwilling to marry me, but he was afraid that I would be burdened after marrying. But if I were willing, he would definitely have no more worries. So, so..."

This kind of marriage can be done.

The high lintel of Yao Mansion, she asked herself, is considered first-class in terms of color and cultivation in the capital. How could Zhang Zhe have another reason to refuse?

However, this was a bit difficult for her daughter's family to say, so she hesitated for a while but didn't say it.

But Jiang Xuening understood.

In the following section of the road, Yao Xi walked beside her, seemingly changing her hostility and wanting to be friends with her. After all, if it weren't for Jiang Xuening's previous persuasion, she might not have known that Zhang Zhe was such a valuable person.

But Jiang Xuening doesn't want to have a deep friendship with her.

Ask herself, does she really like Yao Xi and identify with him?

The answer is negative.

She was not happy with the proposal of marriage between Yao Xi and Zhang Zhe.

But at this moment, Zhang Zhe has no understanding of Yao Xi.

In this life, due to her own obstruction and advice, Yao Xi did not use the means of subordinates to slander Zhang Zhe and cover him with the reputation of restraining his wife. On Zhang Zhe's side, he was innocent. If she not only doesn't mind but also wants to marry Zhang Zhe after receiving the letter of resignation, then from Zhang Zhe's perspective, what kind of person should Yao Xi be?

Don't even think about it.

Coming from a high family but willing to devote oneself to a humble one, giving charcoal in the snow but not falling into the trap, neither being snobbish nor fulfilling promises.

She looks like an excellent girl no matter what.

Zhang Zhe should agree, right?

Jiang Xuening knows what kind of person Yao Xi is and doesn't think Zhang Zhe should marry her.

But she has no qualifications to do anything else.

Previously reprimanding You Yue and warning Yao Xi was because they were unable to sit and watch Zhang Zhe's reputation be tarnished; Now that Yao Xi is willing to marry, anyone in the world can criticize or oppose her, but she cannot and has no position——

Because she has a selfish heart towards Zhang Zhe.

If she were to ruin this marriage, she would never dare to say with a clear conscience that it was just out of disliking Yao Xi's character.

In the early morning of the Fengchen Palace, the palace attendants had already tidied up every bookshelf neatly, with a total of three rows and three columns from front to back, and nine bookshelves. The middle piece in the first row has a purple sandalwood carved paint finish, and the seats behind it are covered with golden and red brocade seats. At first glance, it is different from other tables and tables, and even the four treasures of the study placed on it are more valuable.

This is obviously the seat of Princess Leyang Shen Zhiyi.

Everyone came in from outside and saw the uniqueness of this position at a glance. They all consciously sat in other positions, most of which were similar to their positions when they first arrived at the Fengchen Hall.

Jiang Xuening almost didn't hesitate to choose the position by the window in the corner.

That's the position she initially sat in.

Even with the window open outside and the sky shining in, compared to the two rows in front, this is still the most difficult position for gentlemen to notice - for the next six months, she doesn't want to choose a seat in front and sit under Xie Wei's nose.

Xiao Shu and Chen Shuyi both clearly had confidence in their knowledge and background, and chose the left and right sides of the position of Princess Chang, respectively; Yao Xi chose to be in the middle of the second row, right behind Shen Zhiyi's position; On the left and right sides are Fang Miao and Zhou Baoying respectively; The last row, from left to right, left only You Yue, Yao Rongrong, and Jiang Xuening.

Today is Shen Zhiyi's first real visit to the Fengchen Palace.

The Empress Dowager and Su Shangyi have already explained in the past few days that the decision to start classes for her was finally agreed upon by the imperial brother. The court also strongly criticized this matter, believing that it was inappropriate for etiquette. Therefore, she must cherish the opportunity and not treat it perfunctorily.

So she deliberately put on a proper palace attire with goose yellow woven gold embroidery patterns.

Not long after Jiang Xuening and eight other accompanying readers arrived, just a moment before Mao Zheng arrived, she walked in with two palace attendants who were personally serving her.

Everyone bowed and saluted, "I have seen Princess Chang, please give her my regards."

Shen Zhiyi had not been so happy for a long time. Her bright face was covered in a smile, and she had her hands behind her back. She lightly jumped and stood on the threshold, saying to everyone, "You will all be my accompanying readers in the future. There will be more times when we meet, so don't just go back and give a big bow. You are tired, and I am tired too. Get up quickly."

As she spoke, her gaze swept around.

Then he let out a "hey" and walked directly to Jiang Xuening, saying, "Ning Ning, why are you sitting at the back?"

Shen Zhiyi's forehead was adorned with a cherry blossom powder. Since the last Double Ninth Festival banquet, her face has lost its previous haze, and she has put down the airs of a long princess that she used to intentionally hold. Instead, she has become approachable and somewhat playful, with a little girl on her face.

When Jiang Xuening touched her concerned gaze, she couldn't help but tremble.

I remember seeing Shen Zhiyi so cute and happy in her previous life, but knowing that she was from her daughter's family, this expression disappeared from Shen Zhiyi's face. She returned to the original Le Yang Chang Princess, whose eyes were always entangled with a hint of depression and her temper became increasingly bad.

Jiang Xuening could see that she had recognized her previous "kindness" towards her, and was afraid that she would immediately ask her to sit in front of her. She quickly blinked at her and explained, "I am a foolish woman with poor academic performance. Sitting here would also prevent my husband from getting upset. If you accidentally ask me to leave when I turn around, wouldn't it be bad?"

This is a euphemism to say that I don't want to be seen by my husband.

Shen Zhiyi understood and couldn't help but laugh, saying, "With Princess Ben covering her up, who dares to tell you to get lost?"

The gaze of the other people in the hall suddenly fell on Jiang Xuening, jealous, complex, fearful, and contemplating deeply.

Jiang Xuening could feel the subtlety of the atmosphere in the hall.

But she dare not look either.

Afraid of stabbing oneself to death with a knife as soon as I look up!

Shen Zhiyi grew up in the palace being favored by countless people. Apart from treating her elder brother and mother, she did not know what it meant to be "restrained in her actions". When she liked someone, she would treat them well without any hesitation.

She actually wanted Jiang Xuening to sit next to her.

Sitting closer, you can see it as soon as you turn your head, isn't it comfortable?

Looking further ahead, Xiao Shu and Chen Shuyi were already sitting on both sides of the front row, both of whom she had already known before. It might not be good to ask anyone to exchange with Jiang Xuening, as it would be embarrassing.

So Shen Zhiyi had no choice but to let it go.

She murmured, "If you want to sit here, just sit down for now. It's okay to change it when you get tired."

Jiang Xuening breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess Royal Highness Princess will take care of you."

Shen Zhiyi just passed by her and sat down in front of her desk in the middle of the first row.

Xiao Shu stood up at this moment and naturally placed a brocade box on Shen Zhiyi's desk, blinking and smiling at her.

Shen Zhiyi exclaimed in surprise, "Ashu even brought me a gift!"

She picked up the brocade box and opened it, revealing a delicate shadow puppet inside, which she couldn't put down.

Chen Shuyi also stood up at the moment and presented her prepared gift with both hands: "I heard that His Royal Highness Princess Royal Highness Princess likes Mr. Gu Qi's paintings, and there are treasures at home. This time, I will bring them to you."

Shen Zhiyi was pleasantly surprised and said, "Shuyi is so kind to me!"

This time entering the palace, everyone is going to accompany Shen Zhiyi as a reader. Some people at home have planned or thought carefully, but in fact, they have prepared gifts for Shen Zhiyi. Some are more valuable, while others are just a token of appreciation.

Originally, no one dared to deliver first.

===Kunning Section 58===

But with Xiao Shu and Chen Shuyi taking the lead, and Shen Zhiyi still being so happy, everyone had the courage to take this opportunity to also present the gifts they had prepared.

In no time, many things were placed on Shen Zhiyi's desk.

Jiang Xuening was stunned.

She remembered that she had mainly dealt with the affairs of You Fangyin and Yan Lin when she returned home this time, and had never even thought about Shen Zhiyi. Now everyone has taken out the gifts, but she is not prepared at all!

My eyelids twitched wildly for a moment.

She silently thought to herself that since there were so many people giving gifts and she still had no presence in the corner, it was best not for anyone to notice her.

But who would have thought that if heaven doesn't follow people's wishes, it's because some people have a cheap mouth.

As early as when Shen Zhiyi came in to speak, You Yue had already been watching Jiang Xuening. At this moment, she noticed even more that everyone had brought gifts, except for Jiang Xuening sitting motionless in her seat, still bowing her head.

Aren't you asking her to grab the handle?

With the lesson from the previous lesson, she had learned to confront Jiang Xuening head-on with a curious expression. She pinched her throat and smiled, "I didn't expect everyone to have a deep connection and bring gifts for Princess Chang. Although things are different, each has their own unique ideas. But I see Jiang Er sitting next to her without saying anything. Did she prepare some special gift?"

As soon as You Yue said this, all the attention that had just been moved away returned to Jiang Xuening.

Even Shen Zhiyi turned her head and looked at Jiang Xuening with sparkling eyes.

Obviously, she was hoping that Jiang Xuening would bring her a surprise.

At this moment, Jiang Xuening really wanted to rush over and tear apart You Yue's troublesome mouth, but turned her head to meet Shen Zhiyi's expectant eyes, feeling a bit helpless in her heart.

She is really unprepared.

Do you ask her to casually take off the jade pendant she carried with her and perfunctory?

Jiang Xuening really can't do it.

She lowered her eyes slightly and didn't look directly at Shen Zhiyi. She sighed and said, "I didn't prepare a gift."

Xiao Shu, who was sitting in the front row, raised her eyebrows when she heard these words and silently smiled.

You Yue even showed a successful smile, and immediately covered her lips. She was very surprised: "No, your highness, the eldest Royal Highness Princess, treats Jiang Er so well that you... don't even have a gift..."

The remaining words were intentionally left unspoken, but the malicious intent no longer needs to be expressed.

Others saw Jiang Xuening's expression more or less subtle: they should have sympathized with her, but where would they sympathize with a person who had been treated so favorably by His Highness the Princess Royal Highness Princess?

Watching silently at this moment.

I just thought to myself: Even if Princess Chang still likes Jiang Xuening, in this strong contrast, she should know that she doesn't care so much about herself, and she won't be happy no matter what?

They expected it well. At the moment Shen Zhiyi heard Jiang Xuening say that she had not prepared a gift, there was indeed an indescribable sense of disappointment, and even some sadness. She thought that she could treat her so well that others could think of preparing a gift for her. How could she not have thought of it?

But in just the next moment, I saw Jiang Xuening's lowered head and eyes.

There is no refutation or explanation.

She had an extremely gorgeous appearance, with a slight tremble in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, as if the branches were exposed. At this moment, the slender neck drooped low, making one's heart feel incredibly soft, and even unable to help but feel heartbroken.

Shen Zhiyi suddenly remembered what Yan Lin had said to her, remembered Jiang Xuening's background, and remembered her situation in the mansion

Jiang Xuening was looking down to figure out what kind of reason she should find. As soon as she had a slight eyebrow, she looked up and wanted to explain to herself, "Actually, I..."

Unexpectedly, before she could speak, Shen Zhiyi's eyes turned red and she said to her, "I know, I know everything."

What do you know now?

Jiang Xuening felt a thump in her heart, almost thinking that she knew her secret, but when she looked up, she was almost scared by her almost crying appearance.

Her intuition went wrong: "Your Highness..."

Shen Zhiyi, however, had already stood up and approached her. She took her hand and said with a firm expression, "Ning Ning, don't worry, with me around, I won't let anyone bully you! What's the point of not preparing a gift? If you could come and accompany me, it would be the best gift I have received."

Jiang Xuening: "..."

But for me, that was a bolt from the blue, okay! And what the hell did you think of again!

Everyone around thought that even if Shen Zhiyi didn't blame her, there would be resentment in her heart. How could she have thought that things would suddenly develop like this?

Xiao Shu was already stunned.

You Yue almost dropped her chin to the ground!

Shen Zhiyi, however, had already recognized in her heart that Jiang Xuening was a pitiful little person who was not loved by her parents. In such a situation at home, how could she prepare gifts for herself?

But she almost blamed me, it's really not right.

So, in addition to feeling heartbroken, I couldn't help but want to be good to her. So, I pointed to my book case and said, "Look, they all gave it to me. Look, if there's anything you like, I'll give it to you!"

Jiang Xuening: "..."

Brushing and brushing——

Surrounding eye knives flying wildly!

Everyone couldn't believe what they had heard. The gift they had carefully prepared for Princess Chang was actually turned around and given to someone who had not even prepared a gift for her?!

Only Jiang Xuening is a treasure, we are all grass roots!

Not to mention them, even Jiang Xuening couldn't help but feel a heartache for them.

Then he started having a heart attack for himself again.

This is simply filling oneself with everyone's hatred in an instant!

Looking at the sincere and bright face in front of her, she was truly kind to her and couldn't blame her.

So, Jiang Xuening suddenly had a new understanding——

From now on, just hold onto Shen Zhiyi's thick thigh with all your heart and soul. As for others, it doesn't seem like they can make friends anymore, so why not love someone!

The atmosphere inside the Fengchen Hall was temporarily stagnant.

Everyone has their own thoughts.

Fortunately, a quiet voice came from outside the hall at the moment, breaking the suffocating silence. Xie Wei stepped up the steps and asked softly, "Is your Royal Highness Princess Royal Highness Princess and the accompanying reader here?"

Jiang Xuening's eyelids immediately twitched.
