Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 36 Mid-Autumn Festival
In the blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was already busy.

In Fangfei Garden, Nian Xia and Da Fu waited on Li Taiwei to freshen up.

Nian Xia took five new clothes from the camphor wood wardrobe carved with magnolia flowers, and put them on the couch for Li Taiwei to choose.

Li Taiwei was still a little angry when she saw the clothes, and suddenly remembered what Lu Xiao told her not to wear light yellow dresses.

In the past few days, she was worried about Zhaohe's body and Li Wenxiu, but she forgot to ask about it the last time they met.

After thinking about it for a while, in her previous life, she did not attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace due to Zhao He's illness. She didn't know what happened at the banquet, so she could ask Lu Xiao to tell her so.

She and Lu Xiao are grasshoppers on the same rope right now, thinking that the old widower would not cheat her on this matter, he turned to Nian Xia and said:
"Let someone go to Qiutang Courtyard to inquire quietly to see what kind of clothes Fourth Miss and sister-in-law are wearing today. It's better to stagger with her."

Nian Xia was stunned for a moment, thinking that her master's skin was as snowy and beautiful, if she wore the same color as the fourth girl, she would definitely overwhelm the fourth girl's limelight, so she couldn't help but smile.

"It's still the right thing for the girl to think, so I'll ask someone to ask."

Li Taiwei didn't think about it, she nodded when she heard the words, and casually pointed to an apricot-colored golden skirt, then closed her eyes and let Nianxia comb her hair.After applying powder, applying rouge, and wearing Zhuchai jewelry, it is considered to be tidied up.

After a while, the servant girl came to report that the fourth girl was wearing a light pink dress today, and the young lady Zhao was wearing purple, and Li Taiwei felt relieved.

When they arrived at the front yard, Mrs. Bai had just arrived with Li Yao and Mrs. Bai.

The second uncle was very busy these days, staying in the yamen all the time, only when the good news came out from the Showa era, special people went back to the house and asked the second aunt to bring a congratulatory gift.

In previous years, Li Sheng accompanied Zhaohe's mother and daughter to the palace banquet, and went with the second aunt's mother and daughter.Zhaohe is pregnant now, so today Li Sheng is the only one waiting under the porch.

He was wearing a silver silk brocade gown with cranes and a jade crown on his head. His body was like a pine tree. Seeing Li Taiwei stepping forward, he raised the corners of his lips to this side, raised his hand to put Li Taiwei's broken hair behind his ear, and said softly :

"Your mother is not by your side today, but you have to listen to your second aunt's words. The palace is no more arbitrary than the mansion, so don't cause trouble."

After saying that, he bowed his hands to Mrs. Bai again and said:

"My sister-in-law will take care of Aluan for me."

Supported by Li Yao, Mrs. Bai stepped forward, her gaze softly brightened as she looked at Li Sheng, and her voice trembled a little:

"Wherever it is, they are all one family, as it should be."

The Bai family gave Li Shengfu a blessing, and Li Yao and the Zhao family also saluted.

Only Mrs. Li looked at Bai Shi with clear eyes, doubts arose in her heart, but she couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.

Li Sheng rode in front, and Li Taiwei and his party rode in a car, and when they reached the palace gate, they turned away.

The female relatives are going to the Qiwu Palace of the empress, while Li Sheng is going to the Taihe Palace of His Majesty.

The corners of Bai's eyes kept looking out of the window, until the carriage turned around, and then slowly looked away.

Mrs. Li pursed her lips slightly, fiddled with the wish button on her belt, her eyebrows and eyes lowered.When she thought about meeting those sinister noble ladies who told her to kill in the previous life, a sense of emptiness rose in her heart...

Li Yao never liked this kind of occasion, so she sat beside Bai Shi and whispered something to Zhao Shi in a low voice.Mrs. Zhao is the concubine daughter of the family. Although she was raised by her aunt, she never went to the palace for a banquet, and her knuckles holding the handkerchief turned white.

Seeing her daughter-in-law's nervousness, Mrs. Bai gave a few words of comfort in a gentle voice, and Mrs. Zhao's expression eased.

When the group arrived at Qiwu Palace, many officials and relatives had already arrived in the palace.

Before the empresses of the various palaces arrived, the palace was a little idle for a while, the officials and family members chatted politely in small groups, and when they saw Li Taiwei and his party coming in, they fixed their eyes.

"Master Chonghua, Mrs. Li."

The wife of Xu Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, walked over through a group of female relatives, and smiled when she saw everyone, as if she was very warm with the Li family.

"I heard that Princess Showa is happy, but is it true? I just got the news that day, so I went to the Bodhisattva and offered incense to bless her with a safe and healthy pregnancy."

Li Taiwei gets annoyed when she sees her!
If she hadn't wanted to take advantage of the Xu family's power in her previous life, she would have dealt with Mrs. Xu long ago!
Seeing that Li Taiwei didn't intend to start a conversation, Mrs. Bai was surprised, and hurriedly blessed Mrs. Xu, and said with a smile:

"Exactly. The Ximai was diagnosed by the imperial physician a few days ago. Thanks to you, everything is fine now!"

Hearing that all the officials and family members came forward to express their congratulations, Li Taiwei and his party thanked them one by one, and the atmosphere immediately became heated.

"I heard that Princess Chonghua had a fight with Lu Shizi a few days ago, but I don't believe it!"

A burst of laughter sounded like silver bells, and Li Taiwei knew who was coming without raising her eyes.

"It must be those servants who are talking! Princess Chonghua is the golden branch among noble girls, how could she fight with men in the street?"

"What's more, Lu Shizi has heard that martial arts are superb. If it is true, how can the Princess be unscathed? It can be seen that the rumors cannot be trusted!"

What happened that day caused the Lu and Li families to jointly suppress it, so that no rumors about it came to light.However, Princess Yi'an, the daughter of Prince Chunqing, got the news from nowhere, and said it out loudly in public, and the faces of all the female relatives became bright when they heard the news.

Bai's face immediately darkened, Li Yao and Zhao looked at Li Taiwei anxiously.

Li Taiwei held her posture, glanced at the beautifully dressed Princess Yi'an, raised her eyebrows and said:

"Where did Princess Yi'an hear this from? The servants don't know that they are waiting for you with umbrellas. You can't stand the sun..."

As soon as these words came out, Yi'an's face changed suddenly, and the complexions of all the female relatives suddenly became strange, and some people couldn't hold back their laughter.

Princess Yi'an Mingyan has beautiful features, she can be considered a beauty, but her complexion is not fair enough naturally, and her beauty has been damaged a little by birth. This matter has always been on her mind, and no one can touch it!

"you--!"

Yi'an blushed immediately, staring at Li Taiwei viciously.

"Yi'an, don't mess around!"

Princess Chun was helped in by the nanny in charge, she glanced at Li Taiwei with a cold face, and said to Princess Yi'an:
"Princess Chonghua is also of Xiliang blood. How do you compare with her? Which noble girl can have such color?"

When Yi'an heard this, most of her anger subsided, and she looked at Li Taiwei mockingly from the corner of her eyes.

Princess Chun's words were cursing Li Taiwei's barbarian background, which shocked all the female relatives for a moment, and their eyes fell on Li Taiwei's face.

"Princess, it's just a few jokes from the children, why should you take it seriously..."

Bai Shi stepped forward to smooth things over, but Princess Chun interrupted:
"What? Mrs. Li is talking about it, which sentence I said is wrong?"

Bai Shi shuddered, and stood there with an embarrassed expression.

Li Yao bit her lip, stepped forward and tightened Bai's hand.Seeing her mother-in-law being humiliated in public, Mrs. Zhao felt anxious, Fang opened her mouth, and asked her aunt who was standing in the crowd to give her a look, Mrs. Zhao's heart trembled, and she lowered her head.

Li Taiwei's gaze flicked over everyone's faces, among the famous people here, [-]% of them died at her hands in the previous life.

Today's scene...

Li Taiwei sneered in his heart:
It's not in a hurry, I'll wait until I have saved up all the pieces, and then kill again...

"There is some truth in what the princess said," she said.

Li Taiwei raised the corners of her lips, and in the astonished eyes of everyone, she smiled sweetly and said:

"I heard that the concubine's biological mother, the Qi family, also has Hu people's blood. Maybe Princess Yi'an's appearance... just follows her grandmother..."

As soon as these words came out, Princess Chun suddenly looked over, her face turned pale immediately, and she looked at Li Taiwei in shock:
"you……"

Li Taiwei bowed slightly towards Princess Chun:

"I'm also hearing this from hearsay, whether it's true... I have to ask the princess..."
