Shi Lidie and Chen Shuting were busy preparing for the chrysanthemum viewing banquet.

Shi Lidie took out two drawings from the system locker and asked the Chen family's embroiderer to work overtime. Finally, she completed the customization of two sets of clothes before the chrysanthemum viewing banquet.

Chen Shuting went to Duobao Pavilion and bought two sets of jewelry according to the style of the clothes.

The day before the chrysanthemum viewing banquet, Chen Shuting invited Shi Lidie to stay overnight at the Chen Mansion. Early the next morning, the two of them got dressed with the help of maids, combed their hair into proper buns, wore beautiful headpieces, and took a carriage to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.

A lot of people came to the banquet, and most of them were curious about Shi Lidie.

Because this was the first public appearance of the Lady of Yun'an after she appeared in the capital, everyone wanted to know what ability this woman from the countryside had that could allow His Majesty to grant her a title as an exception.

Therefore, when Shi Lidie stepped down from the Chen family's carriage, everyone at the gate of Wu'an Marquis's Mansion stopped in unison and turned to look at this scene -

Chen Shuting is the eldest daughter of a noble family. She has a dignified demeanor and noble manners, so she wears a Tang suit.

The one used is the same one that Princess Taiping wore at a banquet in the TV series "The Story of the Palace of Eternal Life". Because women in the Tang Dynasty were considered beautiful because of their plump, round and graceful figure, Tang suits are more suitable for bright and beautiful women.

Shi Lidie grew up in the countryside and had a vitality different from that of girls from wealthy families, so she dressed in a martial arts style.

The costume used is the one in the 17th edition of Jin Yong's drama The Legend of the Condor Heroes, where Huang Rong first appeared in women's clothing. It directly highlights her slender waist and looks capable and heroic.

Two girls with different styles got off the carriage, visually attracting the attention of most people present.

The clothes that had never been seen before were unveiled at this moment. Compared with the styles that the women in Beijing were already tired of wearing, the two of them immediately made everyone's eyes light up, and one could even faintly hear a few exclamations.

Those who originally wanted to laugh at Shi Lidie's joke were suddenly speechless.

Shi Lidie and Chen Shuting walked hand in hand into the Wu'an Marquis Mansion and arrived at the garden banquet venue, only to find that there were already quite a few people here. Many familiar girls were standing in groups of three or four chatting.

"Come, I'll take you to meet some friends." Chen Shuting took Shi Lidie and walked through the crowd.

Chen Shuting also has several close friends in Beijing. They are girls with similar family backgrounds and values ​​to hers. They get along well and often meet up with each other at banquets.

"This is the daughter of Princess Yushu, this is the eldest daughter of the Dali Temple Minister, and this is the little princess of Prince Dun's mansion..."

Just as Shi Lidie followed Chen Shuting to recognize people one by one, a discordant voice suddenly came from behind, with a hint of disdain and sarcasm, saying:

"Miss Chen, there are so many noble ladies in Beijing, how could they not know each other? Is it necessary for you to introduce them in such detail?"

"Could it be that some irrelevant people have sneaked in here? This is the chrysanthemum viewing banquet of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion. Not just any cat or dog can come in!"

When everyone heard the voice, they turned around and saw a gorgeously dressed woman standing there.

She looked proud and looked disdainful, as if she didn't take anyone seriously.

When Chen Shuting saw her, she whispered in Shi Lidie's ear:

"This is the young princess of Prince Yi's Mansion, Princess Jiamin."

Prince Yi is a prince, the emperor's younger brother. Strictly speaking, this princess is also a member of the royal family and the emperor's niece. No wonder she has such an arrogant personality.

This is also the reason why she spoke in such a harsh tone and no one said anything to refute her.

In terms of status, Prince Dun is one level lower than Prince Yi, so the princess of Prince Dun's Mansion is naturally inferior to the princess of Prince Yi's Mansion.

Princess Jiamin crossed her arms, looked Shi Lidie over twice from head to toe, and said in a nonchalant manner:

"Are you the village chief that the emperor's uncle appointed?"

"It is indeed something from the countryside, not presentable, very lowly."

If what she said before about "cats and dogs" was a veiled criticism, then this sentence could be said to be a criticism directed at Shi Lidie.

At once, everyone present's expression changed.

Chen Shuting wanted to speak up for Shi Lidie, but just as she was about to speak, she heard Shi Lidie smiling and saying to another woman beside her:

"Did you hear that? Fang Ruoruo, Princess Jiamin is scolding you!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Fang Ruoruo was even more at a loss when she was named, but when she saw Shi Lidie's face, she understood everything.

For a moment, Fang Ruru turned pale and could not say anything.

Princess Jiamin was furious:

"When did I scold Ruoruo? I was scolding you! Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Shi Lidie glanced at Fang Ruoruo, then looked at Princess Jiamin and said:

"A few months ago, the two concubines in the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion exposed each other's shortcomings and revealed that Fang Ruoruo was not the Earl's daughter. I believe everyone knows this, right?"

"So when you see my face, don't you think it looks familiar?"

"In terms of bloodline, I am the biological daughter of the Earl's Mansion, the 'noble bloodline' you mentioned, while Fang Ruoruo is the fake daughter who was born in the countryside and whose origins are unknown."

"Princess Jiamin, you are scolding her like that, aren't you scolding her?"

No one present had expected that Princess Jiamin, who was simply looking for trouble with a country bumpkin, would end up involving the issue of the real and fake daughter of the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery.

After all the scolding, Shi Lidie felt no pain and instead accidentally hurt her good friend Fang Ruoruo.

Shi Lidie hadn't gone crazy for a long time. Now she took this opportunity to pursue her victory:

"Fang Ruoruo, you are not a good friend!"

"I heard that you two grew up together, but she actually looks down on you in her heart. She keeps calling you country bumpkin and lowly. It's obvious that she doesn't take your feelings into consideration."

Princess Jiamin was caught off guard by Shi Lidie's words. She quickly turned to look at Fang Ruoruo and explained anxiously:

"No, Ruoruo, I didn't mean that."

"You and I grew up together, and you are my best friend. How could I look down on you? Don't listen to what that country bumpkin says. I don't mean to target you..."

Fang Ruoruo's mood was extremely complicated at this moment.

She had not expected that, so long after the birthday party at the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, someone would actually mention her background in such public, and even say it to her face without any hesitation.

Isn't this another embarrassing moment for her?

Everyone had almost forgotten about it, but now that Shi Lidie reminded them, everyone remembered that she was a fake daughter!

But can she blame Princess Jiamin?

No, because Jiamin has had this personality since she was a child, and she is a princess.

Who can be blamed? Shi Lidie?

But what Shi Lidie said just now seemed to be for her own good!

Who could have imagined that Shi Lidie was trying to sow discord and divert trouble to others?

Fang Ruoruo clenched her hands into fists, her nails almost digging into her flesh, and finally managed a smile:

"Jiamin, I understand."
