Chapter 198 Chu Qinghe's Humiliation

The princess's mansion has a vermilion gate that is majestic and solemn, and the door knocker is made of pure gold, which is extremely luxurious.

The guards did not enter through the main gate, but took Jin Mudan in through the side door.

As you cross the threshold, what comes into view is the carefully decorated scenery of the mansion.

The bluestone-paved path meanders, with neatly trimmed flower beds on both sides. Even though it had snowed yesterday, the scenery of the princess's mansion is still lush and green.

In the center of the courtyard, there is a small pond with rippling green water, stacked rockery in the pond, and curling mist, just like a fairyland.

The buildings in the palace are well-arranged, with flying eaves and pointed corners, carved beams and painted rafters, and are magnificent and majestic. Princess Qinghe is indeed the most favored one.

But at this moment, Jin Mudan had no intention of appreciating the scenery of the princess's mansion. She followed the guards through the long corridor, passed through several archways, and finally arrived at the greenhouse where the princess was.

It was still chilly in spring, and a thick cotton curtain was still hanging on the door of the greenhouse. Through the curtain, Jin Mudan could hear the laughter of young men and women inside.

One of the maids lifted the curtain and pushed it roughly, making her look very embarrassed.

Jin Mudan stumbled in and everyone inside stopped talking and laughing.

"Princess, is this girl also your guest?"

In the middle of the greenhouse sat a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking radiant.

The woman wore a tasseled skirt woven with gold and silver threads and a butterfly hairpin with filigree on her head. She looked elegant and imposing.

Jin Mudan looked at her, a flash of hatred and fear in her eyes.

"I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Jin Mudan was wearing a simple satin dress, with a hairpin flower trembling slightly, her face was rosy and she bowed gracefully, quiet and elegant.

"Miss Peony, please get up quickly."

Chu Qinghe stared at Jin Mudan's straight and slender legs, her eyes full of jealousy. This bitch is so lucky.

I didn’t expect that even with a broken leg, he could miraculously stand up.

"Miss Peony, don't be nervous."

"Today, this princess invited her brothers and sisters to come to her house to recite poems and paint. It was a bit boring, so she invited Miss Peony to liven up the atmosphere."

"This princess has heard that Miss Mudan was once the most beautiful courtesan in the Qunfang Courtyard. She was proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Her dancing, in particular, moved the world with its graceful movements."

"How about today, Miss Peony, would you be willing to dance for this princess?"

As soon as Chu Qinghe finished speaking, the sound of discussion in the greenhouse began to spread.

"Hey, it turns out she's a prostitute. What bad luck."

"Yes, how could the princess associate with such a lowly and dirty woman?"

"A prostitute dares to come to the princess's mansion, and she is not afraid of defiling the princess's precious place."

"Prince, have you ever seen this Miss Peony in Qunfang Courtyard?"

"Yes, you are a frequent visitor to Qunfangyuan."

"Ahem, don't talk nonsense. This prince is a clean man and never goes to such a filthy place."

Jin Mudan stood there, her face turning pale and blue, like a stripped clown, her ears filled with malicious discussions and pointers.

"Why, Miss Peony doesn't want to dance for this princess?"

Jin Mudan knelt down again, more carefully than before. Her legs had just recovered, so it was not advisable for her to do too many squatting and kneeling movements.

"Please forgive me, Princess. It's not that I don't want to, but my leg was injured a few days ago. I'm still recovering from the injury, so it's not appropriate for me to dance."

"Oh, your leg is injured?"

"How did you get hurt?" Chu Qinghe asked knowingly.

Jin Mudan suppressed her hatred and asked, "Did you get hurt?"

"Are you hurt?"

"I heard that Miss Peony seduced someone else's husband and had her leg broken."

Jin Mudan knelt on the ground, trembling with anger, but because of her low status, she could only endure the humiliation silently.

Everyone finally understood that this girl Mudan was not the princess's friend, but the princess was deliberately making things difficult for her.

So everyone started talking even more wildly.

"How shameless! You actually seduced someone else's husband."

"Just by looking at her appearance, she's obviously a slut."

Several men nearby also murmured dirty jokes: "She's the most beautiful courtesan."

"What happened to the Oiran?"

"Oiran is the most lewd and wanton of all prostitutes. She's been played around with by men for a long time..."

Jin Mudan never knew that men could be so mean?

Chu Qinghe had heard enough of the discussion, so she smiled and said, "Sometimes rumors can't be taken seriously."

"If Miss Mudan's legs were really broken, she wouldn't be able to stand up right now."

"Since Miss Mudan's legs are fine, then go ahead and dance. Don't spoil everyone's fun."

"If you don't want to dance, then I'll ask your best sister to dance for you. I just don't know how good Miss Su is at dancing."

Jin Mudan trembled with fear. Princess Qinghe was vicious and willful, and she couldn't let Jiaojiao be implicated.

"Mudan doesn't want to spoil the fun, but my leg is injured. If I don't dance well, please don't blame me, Princess."

"No, this princess is not such an unreasonable person."

"let's start."

"Wait, bring up the reward money that I prepared for Miss Mudan. I have never been a stingy person."

"Yes."

Soon, a palace maid entered the greenhouse carrying a plate of golden beads.

"Give it to Miss Peony."

The palace maid brought the tray to Jin Mudan. Just as she was about to reach out to take it, the palace maid suddenly let go of the tray, and the small beads on the tray rolled all over the floor.

Only then did everyone see clearly that the tray contained not golden beans, but strange nails. The nails were scattered on the ground, with the tips of the nails pointing upwards.

If Su Yujiao was present, she would know that this thing was called a big-headed thumbtack in later generations.

"Why are you so clumsy that you can't even hold a plate properly?"

"I deserve to die. Please forgive me, Princess."

"Forget it. I'm happy today and I don't want to get angry."

"You go down."

"Thank you princess."

Then, Chu Qinghe said with a smile: "Miss Mudan, start dancing, don't waste everyone's time."

Jin Mudan looked at the thumbtack on the ground, her face pale and she endured it, but she didn't dare to disobey.

The people around exchanged glances with each other, all looking like they were waiting for a good show.

I don’t know how this Peony girl offended the princess and why she treated her so hard?

The princess just said that she seduced someone else's husband. Could it be that she seduced Prince Mo?

Jin Mudan took a deep breath, and as the music started, she struck a dancing pose and danced gracefully. Her movements were light and smooth, and every turn and every jump was just right.

Her arms drew graceful arcs in the air, and her waist seemed boneless.

When she dances, she is so focused and serious that it seems like her body is glowing, and she can attract everyone's attention in a moment.

Those dandy young men originally looked at her with a playful and humiliating look, but as she danced gracefully, their gazes gradually turned to admiration and possession.

Those ladies were filled with jealousy, jealous of her beauty, jealous of her dancing, jealous of her good figure...
