Chapter 639 Summation
As if to show that this year's New Year's Eve is no different from previous years, tonight's banquet ended later than in previous years.
When everyone was almost exhausted from laughing, Emperor Xiao finally spoke to end the banquet.
The court officials who attended the banquet left the palace one after another. Jiang Suining and Wei Yao completed the final work and were finally ready to leave the palace.
When stepping out of the banquet hall, Jiang Suining met Xiao Yue's gaze.
Xiao Yue had already left when the banquet was over, and now appeared outside the hall, obviously having come here on purpose to wait.
Xiao Yue was wearing a cloak with a silver fox fur collar. The fur without a trace of other colors enveloped her delicately made-up face. She was obviously dressed luxuriously, but the expression on her face made people feel awkward and helpless.
When Wei Yao saw Xiao Yue, she frowned instantly, but she was the fifth princess after all, so she bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Fifth Princess."
Xiao Yue didn't look at Wei Yao, her eyes stayed on Jiang Suining, "Lady Jiang, this princess has something to say to you."
Jiang Suining looked at Wei Yao, "Ayao, then you go over there and wait for me, and we will leave the palace together later."
"Sui Ning..." Wei Yao looked at Jiang Sui Ning worriedly.
The Fifth Princess had wanted to plot against Sui Ning before, and now she suddenly appears, maybe she is planning something bad again.
"Don't worry." Jiang Suining gave Wei Yao a reassuring look.
Although she was still a little uneasy, facing Jiang Suining's calm expression, Wei Yao finally nodded and left the banquet first.
When the eunuchs and maids who were responsible for packing up the things in the palace had left and only the two of them were left outside the palace, Jiang Suining said, "Princess, you can say whatever you want to say now."
Xiao Yue pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time before she said, "Jiang Suining, this princess, no, I am here to seek peace with you."
"Seeking peace?" Jiang Suining raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean by that, Princess?"
"Let's be frank tonight, Jiang Suining. I was really dissatisfied with you before, and I also thought about plotting against you, but now I have thought it through. After all, there is no deep hatred between the two of us. There is no need to make it a fight to the death. It is better to put aside the past grudges from now on. What do you think?"
Xiao Yue asked this question, and seeing that Jiang Suining didn't speak, she continued, "After all, I am also the fifth princess. If you insist on making an enemy of me, it will actually do you no good. You still have to work in the palace in the future, and you may need my help. It's better to have more friends than more enemies."
Xiao Yue tried to slow down her tone to make her voice sound gentle and sincere.
She was indeed very dissatisfied with Jiang Suining before and wanted to teach her a lesson, but she failed again and again.
She originally wanted to cooperate with Xiao Yi, which would not only teach Jiang Suining a lesson, but also allow Xiao Yi to help her complete her previous plan. However, ever since the Queen was poisoned last time, she had not contacted Xiao Yi again in order to avoid suspicion.
I originally thought that I would cooperate with Xiao Yi again after the storm had passed and discuss what to do. But I didn't expect that Xiao Yi would be imprisoned in the prison. What I didn't expect was that Xiao Yi would force the emperor to revolt.
It’s ridiculous to think about it. I originally thought that Xiao Yi could make a big noise, but in less than one night, he lost.
In just two days, Concubine Cheng died, Xiao Yi also died, and Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi became the heroes who saved the emperor. The situation and the wind direction in the palace changed so fast that she was overwhelmed.
But no matter what, one thing is certain, that is, Jiang Suining has made great contributions. Now she not only has her husband Shen Yanxi to support her, but it also seems that the Queen Mother has a very good attitude towards her. In this case, if she still stands on the opposite side of Jiang Suining, then she may not have a good life in the future.
She finally saw clearly that even Xiao Yi and Concubine Cheng could die at any time, and her identity as a princess was not a reliable life-saving talisman.
Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi were able to easily push Xiao Yi to death, so if they wanted to set a trap to harm her, it would probably not be difficult. Instead of waiting for the other party to make a move, it would be better to take the initiative to seek peace, so as to avoid falling into Jiang Suining's trap one day and making her always worried.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yue once again felt a sense of frustration in her heart, and felt that her identity as a princess did not seem to bring her many benefits.
Jiang Suining looked at Xiao Yue and clearly saw the tension and frustration in her expression. As he looked at her, he suddenly laughed.
Xiao Yue came back to her senses from her thoughts, and seeing the ambiguous smile on Jiang Suining's face, she frowned and said, "Lady Jiang, this princess sincerely wants to reconcile with you, you..."
"Then it is as the princess wishes."
Xiao Yue was stunned and swallowed the words she hadn't finished saying, "So, you agree?"
Jiang Suining nodded with a smile, "Of course, since the princess has already taken the initiative to speak, how can this humble official not agree? As long as the princess does not argue again in the future, this humble official will naturally not do anything that would harm the princess."
Hearing this, Xiao Yue felt relieved and immediately said, "Okay, don't worry, I can assure you that all the previous things will be written off."
"Okay." Jiang Suining responded, "If the princess has nothing else to say, I will take my leave first."
Xiao Yue nodded, and when Jiang Suining walked past her, she suddenly said, "Lady Jiang, you should keep your word, right?"
Jiang Suining stopped, looked back at Xiao Yue's worried eyes, and said with a smirk, "Of course."
The expression on Xiao Yue's face completely relaxed as she watched Jiang Suining go away.
After Jiang Suining's figure disappeared, she left the hall and walked towards her own palace.
Qiao Fu was waiting on the palace road. When she saw her own princess appear, she hurried to greet her.
Seeing that Xiao Yue looked quite happy, Qiao Fu asked, "Princess, has the conflict between you and Lady Jiang been resolved?"
"Well, Jiang Suining promised not to do anything to me anyway." As she spoke, Xiao Yue's relaxed expression faded a lot, and she sighed, "If I didn't really know what to do, there would be no need to lose face and beg for mercy from Jiang Suining. In fact, my identity as a princess is useless, and I may even live worse than those ordinary girls. It's really frustrating."
Xiao Yue turned her head to look at Qiao Fu, her tone was lost, "Qiao Fu, isn't that right?"
Qiao Fu was stunned for a moment, her eyes unconsciously fell on Xiao Yue's luxurious dress and valuable silver fox cape, then she looked at her own worn-out winter clothes, feeling mixed emotions, she lowered her head and said respectfully: "The princess is of noble status, naturally she is not comparable to ordinary people."
Xiao Yue was obviously not satisfied with this answer, but she didn't say much. She just curled her lips and said, "Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you."
"I am a stupid servant, please forgive me, princess."
Qiao Fu lowered her head to admit her mistake and gently pulled her winter clothes closer.
For a servant like her who was still wearing old winter clothes on New Year's Eve and just wanted to go back to the house to keep warm, she would probably never understand the frustration of being a princess in her lifetime.
