They had only played a few rounds, but there were already a few red shuttlecock marks on the faces of Jin Zhi, Sun Mi, and Qiao Yanqi. With the dirt on their clothes and their messy hair, they looked comical.

After the game ended, the three women were so angry that their faces turned livid. However, they couldn't scold Xu Qing. After all, they couldn't withstand Xu Qing's goading from the beginning and agreed to play this game! Now that they thought about it, they felt angry. People as noble as them actually played such a low-class game with Xu Qing in front of so many people. It was simply humiliating.

Gee, Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, Sister Xiaoqi, are you guys alright? I didn't notice just now. Why have your faces become like this? Xu Qing covered her mouth and exclaimed.

The three of them immediately glared at Xu Qing. If looks could kill, Xu Qing would definitely be dead! How detestable. Xu Qing definitely did it on purpose! A b*tch from the countryside only knew how to use such a lowly method to insult them!

Although gazes couldn't kill, Xu Qing could see the anger in their eyes and could guess their thoughts from their expressions. Xu Qing felt that she was very impressive now. She could guess what the other party meant just by their expressions. She smiled helplessly as she said, When I suggested playing this game, I thought you guys were very good at it when I saw how excited you guys were. I didn't expect you guys to be inferior to a village girl.

When Xu Qing said this, she smiled helplessly.

The three women were enraged.

Ao Li'er smiled helplessly and got someone to take out the gift for the champion. It was a pair of Nephrite jade pendants, the dowry given to her by the empress dowager.

It was said that this pair of jade pendants was consecrated by a monk. It could ensure safety and detoxify all poisons. It was warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Of course, this wasn't as important as the fact that this pair of jade pendants was passed down from the previous Empress Dowagers! The person who held this pair of jade pendants could also use it to show off how noble she was!

Now, Ao Li'er actually gave this pair of jade pendants to Xu Qing, a village girl!

How could the other noblewomen be willing to accept this? Who did Xu Qing think she was? Was she worthy of having such a precious jade pendant? She was just a country bumpkin. If not for the fact that she had accidentally met Qiao Yanhui, she would only be able to farm in this lifetime. Would she have been able to come to the bustling capital?

However, no matter how unwilling everyone was, Ao Li'er asked everyone to change their clothes to go admire the flower garden. This was the Eldest Princess's residence, so they couldn't make a fuss.

Royal Consort Jin Zhi and Royal Consort Sun Mi were even angrier. They gritted their teeth so hard that they chattered. They had wanted to embarrass Xu Qing and Qiao Yanhui today, but in the end? Xu Qing was fine, but they made a fool of themselves! They had been taught a lesson by Xu Qing again!

After today, the news of how capable and smart General Qiao's wife was would probably spread throughout the capital. At that time, their husbands would definitely blame them for being incompetent! They would even blame them for embarrassing them! Now that they thought about it, their future path would only be even more difficult. Without their husbands' support, and since their husbands were princes, there was no telling how many women would try to replace them At the thought of this, their faces turned pale. They had to think of a way to ruin Xu Qing's reputation today!

At this moment, everyone had dispersed. With the Eldest Princess around, no one dared to stay any longer and went to admire the flowers. Actually, although they were admiring the flowers on the surface, it was also a chance to establish connections and build relationships. Xu Qing, on the other hand, waited with her children for the next attack. Xu Qing believed that if she didn't completely counterattack these people today, she wouldn't be able to leave the Eldest Princess' residence today.

General's wife, the Eldest Princess invites you, the butler beside the Eldest Princess said as he stood beside Xu Qing.

Xu Qing looked at Ao Li'er, who was waiting under the pavilion, and nodded before walking over with the three children.

At this moment, only Ao Li'er and Qiao Yanqi were under the pavilion. Qiao Yanqi had already washed up and returned to her prim and proper appearance. She was talking to Ao Li'er amiably.

As a result, when Xu Qing came over, they were still chatting and laughing, completely ignoring Xu Qing.

However, from Xu Qing's point of view, it was as if she was looking at a clown trying her best to make someone laugh. This clown was Qiao Yanqi. In order to make things difficult for Xu Qing, Qiao Yanqi really went all out.
