798, envy
Although Huxin Pavilion is called Huxin Pavilion, it is not a pavilion, but a palace built in the center of the lake that can accommodate hundreds of people. Because the palace looks very similar to a huge pavilion, it is called "Huxin Pavilion".
When Xu Shu and Deng Yarong arrived, many people had already come to the hall. After looking around, they saw many acquaintances. Deng Yarong had to say hello to the people who came. Xu Shu wanted to find a quiet place to stay, but Deng Yarong held her and did not let go while greeting people she knew.
Xu Shu looked around and found that several young grandmothers from the Zheng family were not there. She looked at Zheng Wanli in the main seat and had not yet arrived. She guessed that the three young grandmothers from the Zheng family should be Zheng Wanli's place at this moment, and they should be with Zheng Wanli later.
"Grandma Qi!" A young woman in her early twenties greeted Deng Yarong. After seeing Xu Shu beside Deng Yarong, she couldn't help but ask, "This is..."
Deng Yarong introduced, "This is Miss Ninth of the Zheng family!" When he heard that Xu Shu was Miss Ninth, the young woman's face changed drastically, and her smiley face instantly covered with frost, as if she had a deep hatred with Xu Shu.
He also introduced to Xu Shu, "This is the second young lady of the Xiao family!"
It turned out to be from the Xiao family. No wonder she looked so ugly after knowing who she was. It seems that Miss Xiao Liu has said a lot of bad things about her after returning to the Xiao family...
Xu Shu pretended not to see the ugly face of Second Grandma Xiao, and greeted her with a smile, "Second Grandma Xiao!"
Second Grandma Xiao replied with a cold face and asked Deng Yarong a little sarcastically, "How did Grandma Qi and Miss Zheng Jiu?" She didn't hear that the Qi family and the Zheng family had any friendship.
Although the Xiao and Deng family are very familiar, Deng Yarong did not like the second grandma Xiao's questioning tone, and was too lazy to explain, and said casually, "I met it on the road!"
Second Grandma Xiao took it seriously and took the initiative to hold Deng Yarong's arm on the other side, "Grandma Qi, let's talk!" She said to Xu Shu with a smile, "I have something to say with Grandma Qi, so I will lose my companion first!" The smile was full of anger and provocation.
Deng Yarong thought that Second Grandma Xiao had something to say to her, so she followed Second Grandma Xiao and left. Xu Shu took the opportunity to ask the maids serving in the hall, found the seat to which the Zheng family belonged, and picked the last seat in the row of four seats to sit.
As soon as he sat down, someone came to say hello, "Is it the Zheng family aunt?"
Xu Shu turned around and saw a strange face, but the voice and the title were particularly familiar, "It's Miss Li!"
Li Fu smiled and said, "Why is Aunt Zheng so infatuated? Just call me A Fu!"
Xu Shu nodded with a smile, "Miss Afu is here too!" But she was curious about why Li Fu came. The Li family and Zheng Wanli had no contact. Moreover, from the Li family's standpoint, Li should have kept a distance from Prince Qing's Mansion, especially the premature birth of Li Ying'er was caused by Prince Qing indirectly...
Li Fu sat down next to Xu Shu very well, "Last month, my mother and I went to the palace to visit Concubine Xiang. When we went to pay our respects to the Empress, we happened to meet Concubine Zheng, and Concubine Wang invited me to attend today's lotus-welfare banquet!"
So that's the case. After Li Ying'er lost her son, although the emperor did not favor her, he still had a lot of mercy on her. He even allowed the Li family to go to the palace to accompany her every month to relieve Li Ying'er's pain of losing her son. The emperor favored Li Ying'er so much, maybe there might still be some thoughts in his heart!
"Did Aunt Zheng come alone?" Li Fu looked around and found that Xu Shu was alone with only a maid next to her.
Xu Shu shook her head, "There are three sisters-in-law in the family who are here, but they are not here at this moment!"
Seeing Li Fu alone, I think she came alone. "It's really enviable that Aunt Zheng has been with me. But the concubine only invited me alone, so it's hard for me to bring my sisters together!"
When Li Fu talked about Zheng Wanli's lack of grudges, Xu Shu couldn't help but remember that the Li family seemed to have had the idea of letting Li Fu run for the eldest prince's concubine. However, later the candidate for the eldest prince's concubine was finalized by the Empress Dowager, and the Li family probably gave up. However, now that King Qing has a concubine, I don't know if the Li family has other thoughts. Xu Shu glanced at Li Fu, who was dressed in an extremely delicate manner, and she knew it clearly in her heart.
"Since the three young ladies have gone to see the concubine, why didn't Aunt Zheng go?" Li Fu asked again.
Xu Shu smiled faintly and said, "I should pay my respects to the concubine in the matter. However, Prince Qing's mansion covers too wide, like a maze and the scenery is good. I was dazzled by the sight. As a result, I accidentally took the wrong path and got separated from my sister-in-law!"
Li Fu smiled and said, "The scenery of Prince Qing's Mansion is indeed unparalleled in the world. If it weren't for the blessing of Concubine Zheng, I'm afraid I would never have the chance to take a look in my life!" Li Fu's eyes showed infinite envy. I don't know if it was envying this glory and wealth, or the envy of those who could enjoy this glory and wealth.
At this time, Deng Yarong hurried over, saw Li Fu, and asked, "Is this person..."
Li Fu hurriedly stood up and saluted to introduce herself, and Deng Yarong also introduced herself, "It turns out to be the great-granddaughter of Li Tongzheng!" Li Tongzheng... Deng Yarong turned a corner in his mind. Wasn't that Xu Shu's grandfather!
Deng Yarong looked at Xu Shu suspiciously: He said that he didn't care about the people of the Xu family, and he was so close to his cousin! Deng Yarong was a little unhappy.
Seeing Deng Yarong suddenly collapsed, Li Fu was a little nervous. Could it be that she said something wrong? But she didn't say anything? Why did she suddenly make Grandma Qi unhappy?
Xu Shu looked up and saw Xu Ting coming in, so she hurriedly sent Li Fu away, "Miss Afu, your seventh aunt seems to be here!"
Seeing Xu Ting, Li Fu hurriedly took the opportunity to leave, "Then I'll leave first!" Aunt Seven married such a good family, but she was not yet in the mood. She had to get close to Aunt Seven well!
Deng Yarong sat down on Xu Shu's head without hesitation and asked, "Is Xiao Meiyi being confined because of you?"
Xu Shu was not familiar with the name "Xiao Meiyi", but her surname was Xiao, and she happened to know another person named "Xiao Jiayi". When she was confined, Xu Shu understood who Deng Yarong was talking about.
"Is Grandma Qi talking about Miss Xiao Liu? Miss Xiao Liu was indeed confined, and it was indeed because of me!"
"What's wrong with her?" With inexplicable trust in Xu Shu, Deng Yarong did not fully believe the words of Second Grandma Xiao.
Xu Shu praised, "If only every time Grandma Qi heard something someone said to you, she could leave doubts like now!"
Deng Yarong was annoyed, "What did you do to her? Second Grandma Xiao said that you framed Meiyi and poisoned you, and there were all kinds of evidence and physical evidence, so the queen kept her for a year!"
