Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife-Chapter 1148 - 1145: Winter Feast

Chapter 1148 -1145: Winter Feast

Seventh Miss Liu still wanted to argue, but Madam Liu stopped her, “Don’t make a fuss; this is Her Highness the Elder Princess’s banquet. Go take your seat now.”

“Yes.” The Liu family members moved to the foremost seats.

At this moment, a nanny entered.

She first paid her respects to all the ladies present before asking, “May I know which one of you is Tang Beauty?”

This question brought a hush over the entire hall. The Qi family had been using Tang Beauty to mock the Liu family, which was just a common scuffle between the two families. But now that the nanny from the side of Her Highness the Elder Princess personally sought out Tang Beauty, the purpose was unclear to all.

Madam Tang had an inkling of what was going on and immediately stood up, paying her respects to Nanny Song, “Nanny, my respects. I am Madam Tang.”

...

“So this is Tang Beauty, truly exceptional,” Nanny Song said, and instantly the atmosphere around took on a subtle shift.

In speaking favorably of Madam Tang, Nanny Song, on behalf of the Elder Princess, suggested that her praise was also that of the Elder Princess.

Rumors had circulated that Madam Tang had ingratiated herself with the high-ranking Elder Princess, but this no longer seemed a mere fabrication.

Ignoring everyone else’s mood, Nanny Song continued with a smile to Madam Tang, “Tang Beauty, Her Highness the Elder Princess invites you.”

“Ladies, Her Highness is going to have a word with Tang Beauty; she will be here shortly. In the meantime, please enjoy the opera,” Nanny Song said as she led Madam Tang away, and immediately the opera began in the courtyard.

However, due to the matter of Madam Tang being highly regarded by the Elder Princess, the ladies who came to the banquet were quite unsettled, and true silence fell upon them.

They waited for quite a while.

Suddenly, a quiet conversation began.

“Does Tang Beauty really have such a good relationship with the Elder Princess?” Huo Kewen asked in a whisper, directed only to Madam Huo.

Madam Huo shook her head, “I don’t know. I’d never heard about it before. There were rumors in the Capital, and I thought they were false, but now it seems they are true.”

Ye Muyu picked up her teacup and took a sip, not uttering a word; she was well aware of the inside story, not at all surprised. However, just then, it seemed that Madam Tang had glanced vaguely in her direction, likely noticing her presence.

It looked like trouble might keep on coming.

Meanwhile, Madam Tang was invited by the Elder Princess to the inner hall.

The Elder Princess was dressed splendidly. Although of middle age, she was well-maintained with unspoiled skin. Nevertheless, the aura of her high status remained wholly undiminished.

Even with mental preparation, Madam Tang was overawed by her imposing manner and quickly knelt down, “This concubine pays her respects to Her Highness the Elder Princess.”

The Princess did not respond immediately, holding her teacup, leisurely flicking away tea leaves, her phoenix eyes carrying the demeanor of a superior, and she cast a faint gaze upon Madam Tang.

Madam Tang was dressed in moonlight white today, similar to what she wore the last time she was seen outside the city, one of the rarest pieces from the Capital. Perhaps because she could not wear red, she simply avoided it altogether, and the color made her appear enchanting yet pure, like a goddess from heaven and yet a stunning beauty from earth.

“Rise,” the Elder Princess finally said after a while, and after Madam Tang had expressed her gratitude, she stood up.

“Take a seat.”

Nanny Song immediately brought a chair over, placed it next to them, and Madam Tang, unsure of the Elder Princess’s intentions, sat down halfway, and anxiously looked towards her.

“Tang Beauty, I have given you considerable honor. Now, you can talk about the things you wrote in your letter, right?”

Madam Tang hadn’t expected the Elder Princess to discuss the matter in front of Nanny Song and the other maidservants in attendance, and her expression changed slightly.

“Your Highness, it’s a delicate matter…”
