795, instigating
The lotus-welcome banquet held by Zheng Wanli almost invited well-known families in the capital. There was still one hour left for the banquet, and everyone who came was almost crowded with the wide street in front of Prince Qing’s Mansion.
"Miss, there are so many people coming today!" Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh. Although she had seen a lot of worldly appearances from Pingliang City to Beijing, Xu Shu also took her to a banquet and into the palace. She had never seen any lively scenes? But I thought that this was the first time I saw such a busy and crowded scene today.
"King Qing is the only prince of the emperor, and Concubine Zheng is the only female relative who has been given a jade certificate. This is the first time that Concubine Zheng has held a public banquet since she entered the Prince Qing's mansion. Who dares not to give Concubine Zheng the face? Anyone who receives the invitation from Concubine Zheng dares not come!"
If you don’t give Concubine Zheng’s face, you don’t give King Qing’s face, you don’t give King Qing’s face, you don’t give the royal face. Who has such courage? What’s more, everyone can see the emperor’s reliance on King Qing now. Who is willing to give up the opportunity to come to your door to curry favor with King Qing?
"So even the lady has to come!" Thinking of this, Yuzhu sighed. She also knew that Xu Shu didn't like this cousin who was the concubine of Prince Qing, but as the concubine of Prince Qing, she had to support her cousin who was Prince Qing at this time. Otherwise, others would only think that Xu Shu was unkind and even think that the Zheng family was a mess. If it was a little serious, they would even suspect that Xu Shu was disrespectful to Prince Zheng and was disrespectful to Prince Qing, especially that Prince Qing had hurt Miss Ninth in the Zheng family. It was almost everyone who knew about Prince Qing.
"Yes, I have to come!" Xu Shu also sighed, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were filled with a faint smile.
"Miss, it's time to get off the bus!" Yuzhu got off the bus first, then turned around and helped Xu Shu down.
"You're finally here!"
As soon as Xu Shu got out of the car, Deng Yarong walked over, his tone seemed a little unhappy! Looking at the thin layer of sweat on Deng Yarong's forehead, it seemed that Deng Yarong had come for a while.
"Grandma Qi!" Xu Shu gave a greeting with a smile.
Deng Yarong grabbed Xu Shu's arm and said, "Why are you here? I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I thought you won't come!"
"How could Miss Zheng Jiu not come to the Lotus Festival? Isn't it?" Xu Ting stood in the corridor wearing a pink flower gauze group, with a butterfly bun on her head, which was pink and fresh, but Xu Ting's skin was not fair enough, and this pink dress made her look three more dark, especially against the already fair Xu Yan, she looked even darker.
Xu Shu smiled and greeted the two, "Grandma Liang, Granny Qi Si! I haven't seen each other for a long time, how are you guys?"
"I'm fine for Miss Zheng Jiu!" Xu Ting sneered on the corner of her mouth, and a hint of pride in her eyes. In the end, she married Qi Rui as she wished. In this way, she would always surpass Xu Shu.
"Grandma Qi Si is kind. Your good deeds are not my blessing, but the blessing of the emperor, so that you can be a sister-in-law with Miss Deng Wu!" Xu Shu smiled gently, and the contempt in her eyes showed: Even if she tried her best to marry into the Qi family, she was still a dwarf.
Xu Ting took a breath of anger, and Deng Yarong felt very happy when she saw this.
Xu Shu glanced at Xu Yan's belly again, "I heard that Second Grandma Liang had just had a fat boy not long ago. I haven't congratulated Second Grandma Liang on having a noble son yet!"
Xu Yan's face froze, but Xu Shu said something to congratulate her again. If she ignored her, it would make people feel that she was rude, so she had to force her to smile and nod, "Thank you Miss Zheng Jiu!"
"Mrs. Liang's second grandma has just finished her confinement, right?" Xu Shu's eyes were rushing around Xu Yan's stomach, "It's so enviable that she just replied in such a good way!"
Xu Yan's face became even stiffer. She lowered her head and wiped the corner of her mouth with a veil to hide her panic. Although the maid gave birth to a son safely, she also successfully left her mother to keep her child and took the child for herself, but as soon as she thought of this, there were two outsiders who knew about it, Xu Yan couldn't help but feel uneasy, one was Xu Shu and the other was Xu Ting.
"I have never heard of the addition of a member of the Yongle Marquis' Mansion?" Now, with the support of the Deng family and Mrs. Qi, Deng Yarong began to take over some of the affairs of the Rongguo Duke's Mansion from Mrs. Qi, and naturally he had contact with the relationship between the Qi family. It was strange that the import of such an important matter of the Liang family's addition of a member of the Liang family did not publicize it.
"The man from Yongle Marquis's Mansion is not as good as the prince. The prince is sick and has no hope for his descendants. The second prince is also a person who is interested in music and sex. It is not a glorious thing to have a legitimate son at this age. It is worthy of publicity!" Xu Shu said lightly.
Deng Yarong nodded, "By the way, how did you know the matter of adding a child to the Yongle Marquis' Mansion? I don't know!" Deng Yarong looked at Xu Shu suspiciously, "Are you still caring about the people in the Xu family?"
Xu Shu chuckled, "You are thinking too much, I have heard from others. If you don't hear it, it doesn't mean I haven't heard it."
"It must be that you are still thinking about them, as if I don't know, right?" Deng Yarong hummed softly, "Since you are still thinking about them, you shouldn't be against me for Xu Ting, right?"
Xu Shu glanced at Xu Ting who was still standing on the spot and said lightly, "Even if I want to go against you, it's not for her!"
Seeing Xu Shu and Deng Yarong talking so close, Xu Yan sneered, "It seems that your dear sister doesn't want you to live a good life at all! Even though you know that your sister-in-law can't get along with you, they are still so close. I think your sister-in-law has made things difficult for you for a long time, and she is instigated by her!"
Xu Ting's eyes gradually became gloomy when she looked at Xu Shu, "Yes! I remember when she was still in the Xu family, she suffered losses several times in the hands of this Miss Deng Wu. Why did she suddenly let go of her past grudges? She was as good as a person!"
"Because they have the same purpose, they don't want to see you sit firmly at Grandma Qi!" Xu Yan smiled sarcastically, "You have worked hard to marry into the Qi family, and everyone in the Qi family doesn't take you seriously. The sister-in-law in the next room is eyeing you and making things difficult for you everywhere. Even this blood-related sister is in a mess with outsiders, waiting to see your joke!"
"Second sister!" Xu Ting gritted her teeth and squeezed out these two words from her teeth, Xu Yan knew that this was her pain point, but she still had to say it out loudly. When it comes to watching jokes, why didn't Xu Yan wait with her here for her sake? "I will never let others see my jokes!"
