1242, Appetite
"I'm fine..."
She is really okay.
Compared with the different expressions of everyone present, Xu Shu was the calmest one, and there was no turmoil in her calm heart.
The old lady was happy and proud, and her pride and excitement were written on her face, but it was not difficult to see that the old lady was pride and excited, and there was a hint of regret hidden under the pride and excitement. If this imperial edict was given to the daughter of the Zheng family, it would be a pity that she was an outsider...
Mrs. Zheng maintained her usual dignity and decent style, and even had the style of a mistress than the old lady. However, because she had had a quarrel with Xu Shu, she was warned by Xu Shu. Now that she saw that Xu Shu was in power, she showed concerns on her face, fearing that Xu Shu would bring up the old story again.
Mrs. Zheng Er was so arrogant and disliked to cover up, so she asked without any slightest concealment of her jealousy and dissatisfaction with Xu Shu. A man who came out of nowhere became the queen under the title of Zheng's legitimate daughter, but the concubine in her room had never seen even a corner of the emperor's clothes, but she was really angry!
Although Mrs. Zheng San is not as obvious as Mrs. Zheng Er, her jealous expression flashed by. When Zheng Wanli entered the Qing Palace in the name of her concubine, she also fantasized about the day when Zheng Wanli's mother was in the world. By then, her mother would become the most respected one among the sisters-in-laws because of her daughter. The third wife would become the most valued one in the Zheng family. But things went against her wishes. Now that her decent daughter has changed hands, her young daughter is going to ruin her life worthlessly in the deep palace...
Mrs. Zheng Si was not very concerned about the content of the imperial edict. She was concerned about Xu Shu. Xu Shu's emotions made her worry. If she was happy, she shouldn't have acted like this. This shows that she was not happy, but no matter how she didn't like it, she could not resist the imperial edict...
"Let's talk about it when we go back!"
Mrs. Zheng Si looked at Mrs. Zheng Er who was walking here with a sarcastic look, and immediately pulled Xu Shu and left.
Mrs. Zheng Er wanted to stop Mrs. Zheng Si and Xu Shuming from mocking and sarcastic words, but she was stunned. She stomped her feet in anger and said loudly, "It's really different if someone supports her. The old lady is still here. She left without saying hello, and she didn't take the elders into consideration!"
Master Zheng Er had a rare toughness and stared at Mrs. Zheng Er and said, "My mother didn't say anything, just say a few less words!" Although Master Zheng Er is the most incompetent among his brothers, he can look at his face, especially the old lady's face.
Mrs. Zheng choked and saw that the old lady had no intention of looking at her, so she could only give up in anger.
Listening to Mrs. Zheng Er's sarcastic tone, Mrs. Zheng Si, who had already walked away, knew that Mrs. Zheng Er was deliberately telling her and Xu Shu. She was afraid that Xu Shu would feel even more uncomfortable after hearing it, so she comforted Xu Shu, "Don't pay attention to her, just pretend she didn't hear it. She was jealous and unhappy, and she insisted on finding you!"
"If she doesn't feel happy, I'll feel happy!" Xu Shu shook the imperial edict and said, "And my second aunt is right. I just have someone to support me. Who made her no one to support me?"
Mrs. Zheng Si shook her head and sighed, "Don't force yourself, I know, you are actually not happy. This imperial edict is not what you want, but if you don't accept the imperial edict, it will affect the entire Zheng family, so you have to accept this imperial edict! You are forced to accept the result you don't want, but to comfort me, you have to force a smile..."
"Mom, although the emperor's imperial edict came suddenly, I was surprised, but the emperor's willingness to marry me as his queen can also show his intentions. As an emperor, I should be content with such friendship. If I still feel dissatisfied, it would be too ignorant!"
"You are always so considerate and sensible. When can you think more about yourself?" Mrs. Zheng Si looked at Xu Shu with pity, "Although you are smart, your temperament is not suitable for living in the palace!"
"Since my mother praises me for being smart, I should soon learn how to live in the palace!"
"Mom hopes you are happy. No matter where you are, no matter whether you are married or not, Mom only hopes you can be happy!"
"Mom is happy, I'm happy!"
Xu Shu smiled with her eyebrows and eyes, and she didn't see any unhappiness. However, the happier she showed, the deeper the worries in Mrs. Zheng Si's heart became. She really couldn't bear to let Xu Shu force her smile in front of her anymore.
"You go back and rest quickly. The people from the Ministry of Rites will come tomorrow. Maybe they will also make auspicious clothes for you. Let's take a break early to raise your spirits!"
"Okay, mom, then I'll go back first!"
Xiaojiu, you must be happy!
Mrs. Zheng Si's eyes suddenly turned red. Although she was not her biological child, she had been in pain for three years and supported each other. Along the way, she was not a mother and daughter, but she was better than a mother and daughter. Now Xu Shu was suddenly getting married, and Mrs. Zheng Si suddenly felt reluctant to let go.
Xu Shu came back with the imperial edict, and was full of diligence and hard work. The whole house of Haitang Pavilion had already known the content of the imperial edict, and they all rushed up to congratulate Xu Shu. Xu Shu cheered up and smiled and thanked him with a smile. Then he asked Yuzhu to give the silver money to reward him. Everyone went to share the silver reward. Xu Shu had a moment of peace.
The imperial edict was placed on the table casually, and Xu Shu just sat there, feeling all kinds of feelings in her heart. She couldn't tell whether it was worries, joy, hatred, or timidity. It was not until the lotus came to light the candlestick that she woke up in a pan. At some point, the sky had already darkened.
"Miss...it's time to have a meal..."
Xu Shu nodded blankly, and the food was placed on it, which was a little different from the previous dishes, but Xu Shu was absent-minded today and did not notice it until the food was in the mouth that she realized the difference, "Today's dishes..."
Lu He explained, "There are two imperial chefs who came to pass the orders of Eunuch Xing. They came to serve the ladies on the orders of the emperor. In the future, these two imperial chefs will be responsible for the ladies' three meals a day. These dishes are made by those two imperial chefs..."
What is Zhou Jin doing? He is no longer free in life. Do he have to be free now even when he eats and drinks?
Xu Shu suddenly felt a little uneasy. She took a few bites and put them down, and said, "Remove it!"
Seeing that Xu Shu was in a bad mood, Lu He didn't dare to persuade her, so she could only remove all the food that Xu Shu had almost remained. After a while, the two imperial chefs came to Haitang Pavilion in fear.
"Miss, those two imperial chefs are here, want to see the lady..."
Xu Shu frowned. Could it be that she came to "speak to the enemy" because she didn't eat much at night?
"Please come in!"
The Imperial Chef seemed a little restrained and unnatural when he came in. After all, the Imperial Chef didn't deal with people often, and he was the first to come to the Zheng family and served the people who were about to become the mother of a country. He did not know the temper of this future queen, so he was particularly careful in his words and deeds.
