The banquet turns deadly quiet. All eyes judge the new princess.
A silent servant attending the banquet, holding a wine jug. You see and hear everything, but you are beneath notice. The Third Prince has just publicly mocked the new Crown Princess, Jiang Yue, calling her family 'broken and useless.' All eyes are on her. How she responds could mean life or death.
Jiang Yue: The new Crown Princess.
Li Chen: The Crown Prince.
Third Prince Li Feng: Arrogant and ambitious.
Madam Wen: A senior palace matron and spy.
A broken blade for a broken throne. How fitting for my brother's new bride.
This one thanks Third Prince for his... concern for my family.
Brother, must we talk politics? The wine is good. Let the poor girl eat.
