Chapter 813: Chapter 721, Mischief (Two-in-One Large Chapter)_3

Madam Li calmly said, "Madam Jiang the Second seems unchanged from her time in Zhongzhou."

The expression of Madam Jiang the Second darkened, and she wanted to say something, but she was stopped by Madam Jiang the First.

Today was Princess Huijia’s birthday; they could disregard others, but they could not afford to disregard her.

Reluctantly, Madam Jiang the Second closed her mouth and cast a cold glance at Madam Li and Daohua.

Madam Guo glanced at the Yan Family, and although she was very annoyed, she didn’t join the Jiang Family in creating trouble at that moment. However, her gaze darkened when she noticed the agate ring on Daohua’s left hand.

Observing everyone’s expressions, Kang Naixin whispered to Wu Xirong, "I now understand why your second brother asked you to take care of the Countess of Shengping. The Yan Family doesn’t get along with the Jiang Family or the Guo Family."

Wu Xirong nodded, having noticed this as well.

As mealtime approached, the servants came to report that Princess Lekang and several Princes’ consorts had arrived, along with gifts from the Emperor.

Daohua looked up at Princess Lekang and the Princes’ consorts.

Princess Lekang, the Empress’s daughter and the Emperor’s only legitimate daughter, was an epitome of grace and magnificence.

The Princes’ consorts, each a rare beauty, whether dignified, graceful, or striking, each had her charm.

After Princess Lekang and the Princes’ consorts greeted Princess Huijia, Princess Lekang then gestured for the eunuch behind her to bring out the Emperor’s gift.

It was a pink glass longevity peach, almost a foot at its widest, lifelike and particularly eye-catching.

Most notably, it was a gift from the Emperor, signifying his favor.

Princess Huijia expressed her gratitude for the Emperor’s grace before admiring the longevity peach with great attachment.

Those around her, astute in gauging the situation, kept offering free compliments.

"That glass longevity peach is really beautiful; probably only the Glass Factory in Beijing could make such a piece."

Seeing the envy in everyone’s eyes, Princess Huijia felt very pleased and generously allowed the maids to bring it closer for the guests to admire.

Everyone was delighted and crowded around to take a look.

After a while, Princess Huijia, seeing it was getting late, cheerfully said, "Everyone must be hungry by now, let’s go eat first, and we can come back to enjoy this afterwards."

The Yan Family, accustomed to seeing such glass pieces and not particularly interested in the Emperor’s gifted longevity peach, heard Princess Huijia’s invitation to dine and promptly stood to leave.

However, at that moment, an accident occurred.

Seeing the maid who had bumped into her and thrown the glass longevity peach forward, Daohua sighed, knowing that such banquets could never conclude without some mishap.

"Ah~"

The room erupted in gasps, and Princess Huijia suddenly stood up, her face tense. This was the Emperor’s gift; breaking it would be a grave disrespect.

Just before the glass longevity peach hit the ground, a light green embroidered shoe shot out to catch it, then kicked it up into the air.

The longevity peach flew up, and Daohua, spinning around, positioned herself beneath it and caught it securely as it fell again.

"Whew~"

Relieved sighs filled the room.

"Princess!"

Holding the glass longevity peach, Daohua, with a beaming smile, bent her knees and presented it back to Princess Huijia.

Princess Huijia glanced at her nanny, who hurried forward to take the longevity peach.

At that moment, all eyes were on Daohua.

Her leg-lifting and body-spinning were smooth and seamless, not at all improper but rather a delightful sight.

Princess Lekang and the Princes’ consorts also examined Daohua, especially Princess Lekang, who appeared intrigued upon seeing the agate ring on Daohua’s left hand.

Princess Huijia, smiling at Daohua, said, "Just now, we really owe it to you, Shengping."

Daohua smiled, "Princess, you are too courteous," she replied then bowed slightly before turning to leave, stopping by Madam Guo, "Madam, in the future try not to stick out your leg; tripping others is always unpleasant."

At these words, the room went completely silent, and all eyes turned to Madam Guo.

Madam Guo’s smile froze.

Seeing this, Guo Xueming stood up and looked at Daohua, "Miss Yan, one mustn’t carelessly make accusations."

Daohua smiled at Guo Xueming, "I am well aware of that, Miss Guo... would you like me to detail the pattern and style of Madam Guo’s embroidered shoes today?"

Guo Xueming furrowed her brows.

Daohua stepped closer and whispered, "Shall I?"

Guo Xueming turned sharply to look.

Daohua scoffed, remembering that the Guo Family was Xiao Yeyang’s maternal family and not wanting to make a scene, she quickly walked to Madam Li and helped her out of the room.

Princess Huijia watched Madam Guo and her daughter then calmly said, "Let us also go and dine."

Walking behind, Kang Naixin tugged at Wu Xirong, "I feel like the Countess of Shengping doesn’t need your care after all. That smooth turn was clearly skilled, you can tell she’s trained."

Wu Xirong nodded, agreeing, "I see that too."
