Quick Wear: She Whose Negative System Is Broken

The female guests held a banquet in the pavilion next to the Imperial Garden. Most of the flowers had withered at this time of year, but the camellias and chrysanthemums were in full bloom.

Orchids such as the cold orchid, black orchid, and autumn dendrobium are all in full bloom, and the flowers on the branches of the golden osmanthus and red osmanthus are also in beautiful bloom and rich in fragrance.

Ji Qiyu had been imprisoned for so many days, and finally got Emperor Yun's permission to be released to get some fresh air.

The banquet for the female members was hosted by Emperor Yun, who specially asked her mother, Imperial Concubine Wan, to host it, and he also wanted her to have a more comfortable time.

Although she had a bad reputation in Beijing, she had two close friends.

I've been feeling very depressed these days, so it's quite interesting to listen to the trivial matters in their family.

"Those two must be Madam Zhang Hou and Miss Zhang, right?"

Ji Qiyu looked at the two people not far away who were talking respectfully to her mother.

Mrs. Zhang is quiet, elegant, virtuous and courteous. Miss Zhang is also beautiful, dignified and knows how to act.

"Yes, it's rare to see new faces in the capital."

The speaker was Guo Xu, the daughter of the General who assisted the country. She was straightforward and outspoken, and her personality could be described as bold compared to some noble ladies in the capital.

She got engaged not long ago. Her husband is a subordinate that her father has high hopes for. He is young, talented, and comes from a simple family.

With the support of her family and she herself being a nice person, it is foreseeable that her life after marriage will not be bad.

Concubine Wan didn't keep the guests for long. After introducing them to several ladies in the capital, she let them socialize on their own.

Ji Qiyu was talking ramblingly, but saw the eldest princess and the second princess walking towards him together.

They are sisters from the same mother and have always had a good relationship.

"Hello, elder sister, hello, second sister." Ji Qiyu had to stand up and salute.

"Greetings to Princess Chenghui and Princess Changhua." Guo Xu and the other two also followed suit.

Cheng Hui and Chang Hua both smiled and asked, "What is Third Sister talking about here?"

"Nothing much, just some gossip."

Ji Qiyu seldom communicated with her two sisters. When she was young, Cheng Huichanghua was also young. They could not hide their emotions, and jealousy and disgust were all shown on their faces.

So much so that now, no matter how gentle and friendly the two of them act, Ji Qiyu keeps his distance from them.

The two looked at each other, sat down in the pavilion, and started chatting. "Has Third Sister seen Miss Zhang?"

Ji Qiyu shook his head and said, "I only took a look from a distance."

"That Miss Zhang is truly worthy of the Zhang family. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also very steady, polite, dignified and calm at such a young age. I heard that the Emperor intends to marry her to my third brother."

"Although I am two years older than my third brother, I am older and more caring..."

Ji Qiyu looked at the two people as if they were alone and talked about the marriage of a girl in the boudoir.

The matter has not even been decided yet. If this gets out, it will ruin the family's reputation. Guo Xu and the other person both look a little embarrassed.

"My two sisters, I'm a little bored sitting here. Let's go out for a walk in the garden."

Without waiting for their consent, nor did she need their consent, she stood up and left.

Normally, she would never be so disrespectful to the two of them, but today, for some reason, she felt a little angry when she heard them talking.

Guo Xu and the other two also hurriedly excused themselves and chased after him. After what had just happened, Ji Qiyu no longer had the desire to talk. As he walked along, he picked some flowers and leaves from the roadside to relieve his anger.

After passing through the rockery and turning a corner, I met a huge group of people coming towards me from the opposite direction.

The one who was surrounded like the moon around the stars was Miss Zhang. She had a dignified and reserved smile on her face and listened to the chattering of the ladies around her.

Walking beside her was Qin Xinyue, the most arrogant and domineering person in the past, the youngest sister of Concubine Min.

Although she is a concubine's daughter of the Qin family, she has been raised by her stepmother since she was a child, so she can be considered a half-legitimate daughter.

Because she was very much liked by Concubine Min, she was often summoned to the palace to accompany the Emperor, and she also became a familiar face to the Emperor.

Relying on the favor and protection of Concubine Min, Qin Xinyue became increasingly presumptuous in the palace and even dared to be sarcastic to Ji Qiyu from time to time.

Fortunately, thanks to Concubine Min's mediation and the reprimand and punishment, Ji Qiyu's anger was suppressed.

When Emperor Yun found out about it, he thought it was just a girl's prank, and he punished Concubine Min and praised her for her sense of justice.

But seeing that Qin Xinyue would dare to do it again next time, it is clear that Concubine Min's punishment was just a show.

Among the noble ladies in the capital, Ji Qiyu hates Qin Xinyue the most.

She was not in a good mood when they met head-on this time. They went their separate ways on the road, but someone just happened to run into her.

"Hey, isn't this Princess Hexi?"

Qin Xinyue spoke in an exaggerated tone and led a group of people over, and she also pulled Zhang Mingzhao along.

"This is the famous Princess Hexi whom I told you about."

When she spoke some words, her tone was particularly emphasized, and anyone could hear the sarcasm.

"Meet Princess Hexi."

Zhang Mingzhao was quite polite and followed the other noble ladies in bowing respectfully.

Qin Xinyue at least remembered her identity and bowed hastily.

Ji Qiyu was impatient to get entangled with them, so she nodded and was about to leave. Qin Xinyue stepped aside and blocked her way.

"Princess Hexi, please don't leave in a hurry. We are going to Changchun Pavilion to write poems and couplets. We can also take advantage of this banquet to welcome Ming Zhao."

"Princess? Why don't you join us? It will be more lively with more people."

"No." Ji Qiyu frowned and looked at Qin Xinyue, who was half a head shorter than her. She was usually not pleasing to look at, and today she was even more annoying.

"Princess, are you afraid of being embarrassed by not being able to write a poem? It doesn't matter. It's the same as just watching from the sidelines. Ming Zhao is very talented and well-known in Qinghe. Today is a good opportunity to see him."

She seemed unable to see Ji Qiyu's expression, or she simply didn't care.

Qin Xinyue leaned over to look at Guo Xu behind Ji Qiyu and said, "Miss Guo is here too. It's a good opportunity for us to go too and join in the fun."

She looked at Guo Xu's side with a smile and said in a joking tone:

"As for Miss Wei, why are you following Princess Hexi instead of accompanying your grandmother to copy scriptures and chant Buddhist scriptures and be a heartless old Buddhist? Are you blinded by the wealth and splendor of this palace?"

Wei Jingran has always been a taciturn person. Although he doesn't talk much, he is insightful and steady.

It may be related to the fact that she has been serving her grandmother in worshiping Buddha and chanting sutras for a long time, so she takes everything lightly.

Just like now, she was not angry about Qin Xinyue's teasing, she just thought that this person was childish and boring.

Ji Qiyu really likes her rational and calm attitude. Whenever he feels depressed or frustrated, he can always feel relieved and put the trouble behind him after talking to her.

Her family background is not prominent, her father does not hold a high official position and they were not invited to the banquet.

But her grandmother was a first-rank lady and didn't want to come because of her old age. It was Ji Qiyu who asked her grandmother to bring Wei Jingran in to relax and chat.

Just because she is broad-minded and not angry doesn't mean Ji Qiyu will tolerate Qin Xinyue's disrespectful attitude.

In the past, I thought she was just a 15-year-old girl, who would be in junior high school in modern times, so I didn't bother with her too much.

Now it seems that she is being indulged and is becoming more and more ignorant of the immensity of the world, forming her own clique and isolating others.

If the maids in the palace did not meet her liking, she would beat, scold and humiliate them at will, and she really thought that this palace was her prime minister's residence.

Ji Qiyu also heard from the young palace maid beside her that Qin Xinyue had beaten a palace maid to death, but was suppressed by Concubine Min, who simply framed the palace maid with a random crime and let the matter go.

It is not known whether this story is true or not, but it was indeed found that during that period, a palace maid was executed by Concubine Min for the crime of stealing and privately giving away things.

"Ling Pingzhi." Ji Qiyu called out, and Ling Pingzhi, who had been following not far away, immediately came forward with several eunuchs and palace maids.

"Beat her." She gave the order in a light tone, and the well-trained palace maids and eunuchs forced Qin Xinyue to kneel on the ground.

Before Qin Xinyue could start to yell, Ling Pingyi slapped her in the face.

When he came to his senses and tried to struggle, he was slapped several times again.

"Beat her until she recognizes her identity."

Ji Qiyu looked up at the noble ladies around him who were either frightened or shocked. "Please do as you please."

She led Guo Xu and Wei Jingran on their way. Passing by Zhang Mingzhao, she stopped to look at the pretty woman with her eyebrows lowered and said, "I hope I didn't disturb the guests who came from afar."
