At this time, the Queen suddenly said, "I heard that the eldest daughter of the Su family is going to marry the son of Duke Li's mansion. I wonder if the eldest daughter of the Su family is really happy?"

Su Yue didn't expect that the queen was such a gossiper, but this question was strange. Is it necessary to ask this? Who would be happy to marry a fool?

Su Yue was complaining in her heart, but she still stood up and replied honestly: "Your Majesty, Madam Li Guogong and Mr. Li San are very kind to me, I am naturally happy."

The queen looked at Su Yue deeply, nodded gently and smiled, "Well, this marriage can be considered a good match. I have said that if your poem satisfies me, I will reward you. Come here."

Everyone was stunned. Didn't the Queen give the reward already? Why did she give Su Yue a special reward?

Su Yue walked up, and the queen pulled out a golden hairpin with a phoenix pattern on it from her hair. Still in Su Yue's shocked eyes, she gently inserted the hairpin into Su Yue's hair.

Su Yue was slightly shocked but immediately recovered her composure. Although she didn't understand what the Queen wanted to do, she hoped to get more jade and other things rather than the phoenix hairpin.

Although she thought so, Su Yue was not so stupid as to ask for it again. She bowed to the queen and said, "Thank you for the reward, Queen. I will remember your kindness in my heart."

Everyone gasped. How could the golden hairpin with a phoenix pattern be given out casually? Su Yue was really too lucky.

Zhou Ruoxue and Su Yao both clenched their teeth, their faces were distorted with jealousy. Why did Su Yue do this?

Zhou Ruoxue was very puzzled. Why was the queen so good to Su Yue? Could that lousy poem, which was not even presentable enough, be worth such a precious reward?

However, Su Yao felt that Su Yue must have sucked away her good luck today.

She should have been the center of attention, and she should have been favored by the Queen Mother. The dazzling and noble phoenix hairpin should have been hers.

And Su Yue, this bitch, only deserves to be ridiculed and made a fool of herself, how could she own the noble phoenix hairpin? The more Su Yao thought about it, the angrier she became, and the handkerchief in her hand was deformed by her.

Su Rou, who was sitting at the next table, caught a glimpse of Su Yao's strange behavior and couldn't help but curl her lips slightly. Although she was also jealous of Su Yue for getting the phoenix hairpin, her jealousy was nothing compared to Su Yao's jealousy.

Su Rou drank the fruit wine and sighed in her heart: Second sister, second sister, now you are being stepped on by the person you always bully and look down upon. You must be so angry that you want to vomit blood.

The Queen raised her hand slightly, motioning Su Yue to stand up. She looked at her gently and said, "Please stand up. I like you very much. This golden hairpin will be your dowry. I hope you and your spouse will live in harmony and grow old together."

There was an ambiguous look in Lady Lin's eyes at this moment. Others didn't know, but she knew that before the Queen got married, she had a good relationship with Lady Li.

Su Yue is the future daughter-in-law of Duke Li's wife, and the Queen must have wanted to use this gold hairpin to further improve her relationship with Duke Li's mansion.

After Su Yue thanked the queen again, she returned to her seat and continued eating and drinking.

Nanny Yang and Rendong behind Su Yue were beaming with excitement. Their girls were really proud of today's banquet!

Su Yue turned a blind eye to the constant envious, jealous and hateful looks coming at her. To her, if she were to be transported into a pure palace fighting novel, she would probably be very happy in her heart.

Because the phoenix hairpin bestowed by the Queen today is not only a kind of protection, but also can be used as a command.

Unfortunately, as this is a book about a natural disaster and the apocalypse, the golden hairpin is of little use to her. No, it is still a little useful. For example, now Zhou Ruoxue and Su Yao are looking at the phoenix hairpin on her head with crazy and jealous eyes.

Seeing this, Su Yue proudly raised her hand and gently stroked the golden phoenix hairpin, and even gave a provocative look to the mother and daughter who were about to go crazy with jealousy.

Zhou Ruoxue/Su Yao: Humph, damn bitch!

Wang Qiaoya saw Su Yue's expression and couldn't help but look at her differently. "My daughter, look at how Su Yue remained calm after receiving the Queen's phoenix hairpin. She is really amazing."

Su Rou, who had come back to her senses, also nodded. That's right. If she had gotten the phoenix hairpin, she would probably be so excited that she wouldn't be able to hold the chopsticks steadily.

The party continues...

But as it approached noon, the temperature outside was getting higher and higher, and the palace was naturally affected. Even adding a few more basins of ice could not stop the temperature inside the palace from rising slowly.

Add to that the fragrance of various flowers, the smell of wine and dishes, and the smell of makeup and sweat from the daughters of various families, and the smell in the palace was really unpleasant for a while.

The Queen soon began to feel dizzy and had no choice but to end the banquet early.

When they heard the Queen's words to end the banquet, all the ladies looked regretful but were extremely happy in their hearts.

The makeup on their faces is almost done, and it would be inappropriate to just use rouge and powder to touch up their makeup. If they run out to touch up their makeup, the sweat would wash off the new makeup in one go, so everyone just knows what's going on and doesn't bother.

Su Yue and her two servants were the first to leave Fengxiang Palace. Not only did the Queen feel dizzy, but even Su Yue began to feel a little nauseous.

It was mainly the smell of flowers and everyone's heavy smell of makeup, plus the ice basin was a little far away from her, so she was almost getting heatstroke. Anyway, her body was too weak, and it seemed that she needed to exercise more.

Nanny Yang also noticed that Su Yue's face looked strange, so she quickly asked Rendong to carry Su Yue on her back and run out of the palace.

One lady who wanted to watch the fun even asked with a smile, "Madam Su, why did Miss Su leave without waiting for you?"

Su Yao finally waited for the opportunity to discredit Su Yue. She immediately showed her innocent look and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Madam. My elder sister has always been like this. No matter how much my mother teaches her, she is still like this."

The daughter who was at odds with Su Yao immediately spoke up to defend Su Yue, "You are really Su Yue's good sister. Didn't you see that your elder sister's face looked a little off? She must have had a heat stroke. Her maid took her back first. This is also human nature. You should be kinder."

Su Yao's face changed slightly when she heard this, but she forced herself to remain calm, with a bitter smile on her lips: "I was negligent. I only thought about the rules, but forgot to care about my elder sister's health."

The daughter couldn't stand Su Yao's appearance. She snorted coldly, "You are not as good at pretending as a sack!"

At this time, Lady Lin Guogong smiled gently, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere: "Ms. Su performed well today, and the Empress personally gave her a hairpin, which shows that her talent and character are both extraordinary.

As elders, we should be more understanding and tolerant. Besides, today's weather is indeed hotter than yesterday, and Miss Su might have really suffered from heat stroke."

Upon hearing this, all the ladies nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere gradually warmed up.

When Su Yao saw that it was the wife of Duke Lin, who was also the mother of Master Lin, she had no choice but to put away her resentment and forced a smile.

Zhou Ruoxue also forced a smile and said, "Mrs. Lin is right."
