The scumbag ex-husband knelt down to salute, and gritted his teeth to meet the emperor's aunt

The officials ordered all the wives to bring their children to give gifts to the empress.

Every time they give a gift, it will be read out and recorded in the register.

Ningshuang is responsible for reading, and Ningxue is responsible for recording.

There are quite a few officials above the third rank and above, so their gifts can basically be handed out, except for the wives above the third rank and above, there are also several concubines of the princes.

On the contrary, Jiang Yin's concubine status seemed a bit out of place at this moment.

Not to mention taking away Jiang Xi's former sweetheart.

"The concubine of the third highness sent a pair of dragon and phoenix jade Ruyi." Ningshuang frowned as she looked at the box in her hand, and then turned her eyes to Jiang Yin, as if she hadn't thought that it was such an unattainable gift.

"Greetings to the empress." Jiang Yin wanted to greet the empress politely, but for some reason, she slipped and rushed directly to the empress, so Ningshuang pushed Jiang Yin out with quick eyes and quick hands.

"Presumptuous!" Ningshuang looked at Jiang Yin and yelled, "A mere side concubine dares to murder the empress!"

Jiang Yin fell to the ground, and the people around her didn't intend to reach out to help her. They were all discussing her embarrassing behavior today, and even Lian Qiao stood there without extending a helping hand.

They kept talking about her being "petty" and "not on the stage".

Jiang Yin supported the chair next to her and stood up and saluted the queen again, "Sorry for disturbing the queen."

"If you don't want to celebrate my birthday, you don't have to come." The queen looked at Jiang Yin with a cold expression.

"So Li Pin's younger sister comes from a slightly cold background, but it's not so impolite." There was a bit of impatience in her tone, "Forget it, you step back first, so as not to embarrass yourself here."

Jiang Yin wanted to say something more, but was led away from the main hall by a few young eunuchs next to him.

Jiang Yin saw Jiang Xi and his group sitting in the yard outside at a glance, and Gu Zhanyue read to Jiang Yao and the others gently with his brows and eyes.

Somewhat unwillingly, she walked to Jiang Xi's side and was about to speak when she heard a shrill voice.

"Bold, you didn't even salute His Highness the Crown Prince!" The prince's accompanying eunuch kicked Jiang Yin's hind legs, making her kneel in front of them with a plop.

Jiang Yin had never suffered such humiliation in the mansion, but he couldn't shed a single tear, especially in front of Jiang Yin.

"Zhao De, how can you be so rude, no matter how bad she is, she is still the third brother's side concubine." Gu Zhanyue glanced at Zhao De's eyes but there was no trace of apology, but indifference instead.

"His Royal Highness is kind-hearted, no matter whether it is the eldest princess or the second imperial concubine, whoever sees His Royal Highness does not salute respectfully;
It's unseemly for the third highness and side concubine not to be on the stage. "Zhao De glanced at Jiang Yin, his eyes were full of mockery.

"Eunuch Zhao, why are you fussing with him? You don't know her mother's background, so how can you expect her to know etiquette and etiquette?" Jiang Xi glanced at Jiang Yin without any intention of extending a helping hand.

What Jiang Yin tasted now is less than one hundred thousandth of what she had tasted back then.

"According to the servants, those sons and gentlemen in Chang'an City are all blind, and that's why they like Concubine Jiang." Zhao De complained for Jiang Xi.

"The third girl was born as a prostitute, and she deserves to be the proud son of heaven, so the third highness doesn't like you, but insists on this Jiang side concubine."

Whether Gu Zhanheng married her was true or false, according to Jiang Yin's arrogant and domineering attitude in his previous life, he probably had a preference.

Now that Gu Zhanheng didn't marry her, whether Jiang Yin can still get that kind of favor is unknown.

Jiang Xi naturally also saw Forsythia standing beside Jiang Yin.

With just one glance, she could tell that today's Lianqiao did not enter the palace as a maid, and it is impossible for everyone with discerning eyes to not know Lianqiao's identity.

After all, there was no concubine Forsythia at this time in the previous life.

Jiang Xi lowered her head to hide the flashing smile on her lips.

This birthday party is just the beginning.

"Xiaoxiao doesn't like Concubine Jiang either."

Hearing Gu Zhanyue's voice, Jiang Xi looked up at him, "When I got married that day, my aunt asked her to marry me to the Third Highness, saying that sisters can take care of each other;

It was also because I was blind before that I didn't discover the problem between the Third Highness and the Fourth Younger Sister. If I had known that the Third Highness had a deep-rooted love for the Fourth Younger Sister, I would not have been obsessed with the Third Highness. "

Jiang Xi raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, "Speaking of it, I have to blame the Third Highness. She has already fallen in love with the Fourth Younger Sister, so why did she come to provoke me?"

She pretended to look at Gu Zhanyue who was sitting beside her with red eyes, "Maybe she looked down on me. I grew up on the border since I was a child, and I'm not good at piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, or female red knitting."

After she finished speaking, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes. From the corner of her eyes, she could just see the expression on Jiang Yin's face.

Pretend to be pitiful, although she disdains this method, it doesn't mean she won't.

"Zi Yue, I must be not good enough, that's why I didn't get the favor of the Third Highness." Her voice was hoarse.

"Third Highness must think that I am not as caring as Fourth Sister, so we fall in love with Fourth Sister."

Jiang Xi wiped her tearless eye sockets, lowered her head and raised the corners of her lips secretly.

"Jiang Xi, since you like the Third Highness, why are you pretending to be coy here." Jiang Yin said this directly without thinking, "It is obvious that you hate the Third Highness, that's why you divorced him."

"Yes." Jiang Xi met Jiang Yin with a calm expression.

"He wants to enjoy the blessings of all people, dreaming!" Jiang Xi was not afraid at all, "So Concubine Jiang doesn't know why I am retiring from His Highness the Third Highness?"

"He really likes you, and I don't care much about marrying you, after all, you two agree." Jiang Xi glanced at Jiang Yin, his eyes were full of mockery.

"But obviously I am the right concubine, but he chose to marry you. Isn't that a slap in the face." Jiang Xi laughed, "Do you think I will tolerate such a thing?"

She also didn't give Jiang Yin a chance to speak, "If I had followed my past personality, you probably wouldn't be able to live today, Concubine Jiang."

Jiang Yin was still about to say something, when Lianqiao's voice sounded, "Sister, don't you feel ashamed?"

It was only then that Jiang Yin realized that many eyes in the yard were all on her, and she had nowhere to hide under the gaze of so many people.

"Mother and Concubine told me before, don't embarrass Your Highness the Third Highness." Lian Qiao glanced at Jiang Yin as if she didn't want to talk to her.

Jiang Yin glanced at Jiang Xi, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Xi and Jiang Yao beside him lowered their heads and talked in a low voice, not paying attention to that gaze.

"This side concubine Jiang really can't be on the stage. Today is the empress's birthday, so she really doesn't know etiquette at all."

"That's right, that's right, no one of the dignitaries in Chang'an City knew about the Zhu family back then, and only Mrs. Jiang's docile temperament would agree to Zhu's stay."

"Mrs. Jiang is really pitiful. She obviously gave charity with good intentions back then, but she raised a white-eyed wolf without realizing it."

"That's right, that's right; back then, I used some means to become the concubine of the Prime Minister, and now my daughter looks like this. As expected, like a mother, like a daughter."

"I heard that the Zhu family has no sense of propriety, justice, and shame."

"But Concubine Jiang grew up in the prime minister's mansion, so why doesn't she know how to be polite?"

Everyone's voices came to Jiang Yin's ears one after another. Although she had no friends since she was a child, because she got along very well with those sons and brothers, she was always favored by them. She had never been wronged like this.

Obviously everything that Jiang Xi has should belong to her;

Obviously Jiang Yu was also her father, but she and her brother couldn't get Jiang Yu's love.

Obviously she is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is proficient in needlework female red, but she just doesn't get their approval, that is, she can't make friends in Chang'an City.

"How can you comment on an unarmed girl like that, and say that she is the concubine of His Highness the Third Highness?"
