The reborn elder sister has gone crazy with killing, and there is a crying monster behind her

Shen Qiuchi's 30th birthday party was held at the same time as the Mid-Autumn Festival. The emperor planned to hold a grand banquet, but the border was still unstable. If there was a war, a huge amount of money would be needed. Shen Qiuchi asked that everything be kept simple.

At the banquet, court officials and guests toasted each other, the sound of stringed instruments was endless, and they drank and talked happily, enjoying themselves.

However, many people were actually very bored and only exchanged pleasantries with each other. It was true that there was singing and dancing, but it was a common thing in the palace and did not attract any attention.

Shen Qingxu gave the prepared calligraphy and painting to Shen Qiuchi, who took it and slowly opened the scroll.

Feast! Feast!

Happy New Year to my sister

Shen Qiuchi stared for a few seconds, and then her long eyelashes were filled with tears, as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water.

The emperor saw the words and wanted to say something, but seeing the empress crying, he was cautious and held back his words. He praised loudly, "Good, the words are very good, and the congratulatory words are even better!"

Shen Qiuchi burst into laughter when she heard the emperor's praise. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and smiled at Shen Qingxu, "Qingxu, sister likes it very much."

You see, she knew how her sister could be a fool. Her Qingxu was very outstanding. Not only did she love her sister's gift very much, but the words and characters also pleased the emperor very much.

Shen Qingxu knew that Shen Qiuchi would not dislike any gift she gave him, but she was still worried that her gift was not good, too mediocre and would not make her sister happy. Her sister wanted her to be knowledgeable and well-mannered, but she made no progress and did not live up to expectations, often embarrassing her sister.

Now seeing her sister's reaction, she finally felt relieved and put her mind at ease. Her daily practice was worth it, and her sister was happy after all.

The people who were nearby in the hall echoed and praised.

"Princess Shen's gift is really thoughtful."

"Yes, the Queen was so moved that she cried."

"How can it be bad if the emperor praises me personally?"

"It seems that the princess's congratulations have won the queen's heart."

"The princess is really thoughtful."

But there are still discordant voices.

Qin Si, Jiang Meiyin and a few other women from official families were whispering to each other below.

"Tsk, it's just a few words, how can you call it original?"

"A few lines of poetry, what's so great about showing off?"

"The Queen has seen everything. She must have written something to flatter the Queen."

"Oh, if she wasn't the queen, how could she enter this palace?"

"I saw Shen Qingxu today because she was the newly appointed princess, so I was afraid she would cause trouble. She scared me just now, but I didn't expect her to be so unpresentable."

"If it's acceptable, why doesn't the Queen announce to the world that Shen Qingxu has been canonized as a princess?"

"Be careful with your words. Now that we know that Shen Qingxu is a princess, she is a woman of high rank. You and I cannot afford to offend her."

"Forget it. Look at how petty she is in the library. She is afraid of doing anything with such things that are not presentable."

"Even if she is the princess, she still dare not do anything to us."

"It's better to be careful anyway."

"Alright, alright, look at how timid you are. My father is the Minister of Justice and my sister is Consort Liang. I am not afraid of her."

The women from the noble families in the capital complained behind her back, looking up at Shen Qingxu from time to time, and then continued to gossip with their companions. Most of them were dissatisfied with Shen Qingxu, and were even more disdainful of people like her who had connections with her.

In the library, Shen Qingxu didn't know how to get along with them, nor would she take the initiative to approach them and please them, so she was often criticized by gossipers. Some people she was not familiar with were influenced by the people around them, and they didn't know the reason but also followed suit to exclude Shen Qingxu.

In this situation, Shen Qingxu would usually avoid them and avoid interacting with them. Moreover, she didn't recognize anyone else at the banquet except Qin Si, who was in the same class.

Today, the officials' families all came to attend this palace banquet in order to make more friends in the palace, to help their husbands or sons improve their network of contacts, or to bring their daughters out in the hope of being noticed by some prince or minister.
