Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 570: He's so mean-spirited hemorrhoid-like

Not to mention Bai Wanwan, if you open her closet, you can’t even count the items.

Her family loved her so much that they spent most of the day just picking out clothes for her.

Zhiwei held a pile of jewelry boxes and directed the other maids to dress up Bai Wanwan.

She first picked out a goose yellow skirt, and then took out a pair of silver bracelets inlaid with pearls and put them on Bai Wanwan's wrists.

The hair is the most particular. First, use red silk to tie it into two round small buns, and then insert a few jade hairpins with tassels, which jingle when walking.

The bronze bell outside the palace gate rang out. Bai Wanwan, who was in Bai Qiaoniang's arms, looked out through the car window and saw the guards blocking their way with their long spears.

According to palace rules, except for the dragon chariot and phoenix carriage, all carriages and horses must stop outside the Vermillion Bird Gate. Even though Bai Wanwan is a princess, she can only step on the embroidered stool to get to the ground.

Today's Imperial Garden is different from the past. The nine-curve corridor is hung with bright yellow gauze lanterns, and the green jade railings are covered with fresh vines.

The waterside pavilion at the end was converted into the main banquet hall, and the curtains embroidered with gold thread and patterns of hundreds of children and grandchildren fluttered gently in the spring breeze.

In the center of the main hall stands an ice-carved peony screen, and on the rosewood tables around it are scattered food boxes inlaid with mother-of-pearl. Green glass cups are filled with rose dew, and green smoke curls from the gilded incense burners.

Outside the main hall, carriages and horses from various noble families came in an endless stream at the white jade steps.

The twin daughters of the Minister of Revenue rode together in a carriage with pearl curtains, and the silver bells on their step-shaking ornaments jingled as they got off.

The young masters of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion were dressed in black brocade robes, and the jade pendants with dragon patterns on their waists swayed slightly as they talked and laughed.

Further away, the sedan chair carried by twelve people sent by the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau had just landed.

When the curtain of the sedan chair was opened, the girl in the sedan chair was revealed with her kingfisher-inlaid headdress trembling on her temples, which caused whispers from people around.

"What's all this fuss about?" someone whispered.

The old woman next to him quickly poked his arm:

"Don't you know? These twelve girls are famous beauties in Jiangnan, known as the 'Twelve Beauties of Jinling'!

I heard that they are all proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and speak softly.

This time it was specially sent here for the princes to see!"

Everyone stretched their necks to look. These girls were wearing moon-white and peach-red soft satin clothes, with pearl hairpins in their buns, and they walked with lotus-like steps.

The crowd immediately started whispering, "No wonder they say Jiangnan is home to beautiful women. Each one of them looks like they stepped out of a painting."

"I don't know which prince has this blessing..."

One lady leaned over to the other's ear and said, "Look, isn't that someone from the Bai family? I heard they just found their biological daughter."

The other lady curled her lips and said with a smile:

"So what if she's my biological daughter? I heard that girl was kicked out of the house this morning.

I don’t know what Lord Bai is thinking.”

Someone else chimed in, "Need I say more? This girl is now a First-Rank Consort. If I were her, I'd treat her like a treasure!"

When Bai Qiaoniang heard these words, she smiled and turned to the ladies and said:

"You all seem to be really concerned about our family, thank you for your concern.

But I heard that Madam Zhao, your younger brother beat someone to death in the street. Has this matter been resolved?

And Madam Ren, I heard your husband plans to take your sister as a concubine? It's really novel to have sisters serving their husband together.

And Madam Sun, I heard that your son got into trouble at the academy, and the teacher even came to visit?"

When these ladies heard this, their faces changed immediately and they all stopped talking.

Some lowered their heads to tidy their clothes, some pretended to talk to the people next to them, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

Bai Qiaoniang didn't say much and took Bai Wanwan to the banquet hall.

As soon as Bai Qiaoniang left, the ladies who had been challenged immediately got furious.

Madam Zhao stamped her feet in anger, clutching her coarse handkerchief tightly. "Is this Bai girl mentally ill? She has nothing to do with my master's affairs!"

Madam Ren also spat, her face turning pale and blue.

"That's right! Is it necessary for her to gossip about my sister?

You're so mean-spirited that you look like you have hemorrhoids!"

Mrs. Sun was so anxious that she kept wiping away tears. She had finally managed to suppress the trouble her son had caused, but now it was exposed in public again.

She wiped her face and said angrily:

"If I had known the Bai family's daughter was so sharp-tongued, I should have retorted back!

You're exposing someone's scars for no reason. Do you really think you're that great? "

Several ladies around also joined in the discussion, cursing each other non-stop.

Someone angrily said, "From now on, avoid the Bai family members. Their mouths are like knives, they'll stab anyone they catch!"

Some people said sarcastically:

"Isn't that just meddling in other people's business? No wonder Lord Bai is so indifferent to his own daughter!"

Bai Qiaoniang sneered, "A bunch of gossipmongers."

Bai Wanwan covered her mouth and laughed, "Mom! Your fighting power is so strong now!"

Bai Qiaoniang touched her head and said:

"Isn't that right? Now I am very powerful. What happened in their family?

I know everything clearly. I will trouble anyone who dares to cause trouble for me."

While the mother and daughter were still talking, they heard Shen Mingyue and Huo Qing arguing in the Imperial Garden.

Shen Mingyue suddenly overturned the small sandalwood table beside her and said, "Huo Qing! If you dare to bring Vixen home, I will make her die on the spot!"

Huo Qing was so angry that he started cursing:

"Shen Mingyue! I turned a blind eye when you kept a lover.

Now that I'm taking a concubine, you're throwing a tantrum like this? Do you really think I, Huo, am a pushover? "

"You want both the glory of the court and the beauties in the backyard?

Huo Qing, without my help, your position as a general is nothing but building a tower on sand!"

She sneered and said:

"If you dare to touch my people, I will make you a eunuch.

Then we'll see which delicate young lady is willing to live with a useless man!"

Huo Qing grabbed her wrist fiercely, but Shen Mingyue bit her back.

Bai Qiaoniang narrowed her eyes. This couple was really crazy. They were fighting so fiercely in the Imperial Garden.

Shen Mingyue was grabbing Huo Qing's collar. When she turned around and saw Bai Qiaoniang and Bai Wanwan standing not far away, she immediately felt like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

She let go of her hand and rushed over, pointing her finger at Bai Qiaoniang and scolding, "It's you again, shameless one! Are you deliberately hiding here and eavesdropping?"

Her hair was messy, her hairpin was tilted to one side, and her face was covered with dust from the fight.

Bai Qiaoniang took a leisurely step back, brushed off her sleeves, and said, "Princess Mingyue, please don't spit bloody words at me. This Imperial Garden isn't your backyard. Who says we can't come?"

She glanced at Huo Qing, who was still standing there adjusting his clothes, and sneered, "You two, however, are causing chaos in the palace, and you're not ashamed if the news gets out."

Shen Mingyue's face flushed with anger, her chest heaving violently: "Stop pretending to be innocent! This matter is not over today!"

Just as she was about to rush forward, Huo Qing grabbed her.

Huo Qing's face turned pale and he whispered, "Enough! Don't forget where this is!"

Only then did Shen Mingyue realize that she was still at the palace banquet. She glared at Bai Qiaoniang and walked away with her sleeves swung.
