Fair Lady

Mrs. Luo's face turned red, and she still couldn't react.Didn't Princess Fuxinggui personally embroider and wipe her forehead to please her grandmother?

Such a good step, how could she not take advantage of the trend, strike while the iron is hot, put up the airs of the elders in public, and be the first to set the pattern of her own identity and etiquette when getting along with Shuyao as a grandmother and grandson-in-law?Otherwise, wouldn't you have to salute every time you see Shuyao?How do you know?Momentum and rules are things that need to be erected from the very beginning.

And isn't Qi Haoning not here at the moment?That kid looked so much like his father when he had a sullen face, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed, thinking it's better not to mess with that brat.If I don't see that kid, I will naturally see this girl, and attack this girl, otherwise I won't see him, so who is she plotting against?How can you take advantage of your grandmother's status?How to help Xin'er enter the palace to be the side concubine of the prince?

Therefore, she was called "Shu Yao" naturally.As long as Shuyao agrees, and panickedly takes off a piece of jewelry from her body to give to Xiner (in Mrs. Luo's opinion, Shuyao didn't prepare a gift, so how can she not be embarrassed in front of so many people?), Then things will be easier in the future.

After today, if we meet again, as long as she calls her "Shuyao" and "Yao girl" as she did today as her grandmother, Shuyao still has the nerve to wait for her to make a big gift?

Hmph, she never gave a big gift to that evil girl before, and she never called her "Princess", but always called her "Second Girl".

Unfortunately, the idea is always too beautiful, but the reality is too cruel.The Princess Fu Xinggui, who looked gentle and noble, and whose aura was somewhat similar to that of her evil daughter, was still drinking tea there as if nothing had happened, while the mother beside her had a cold fit.

If it's Shuyao's seizure.She can also pretend to be aggrieved and dazed to win the sympathy and understanding of those present.But Mother Liu is a foster mother!To know.The palace maid has always been a model of etiquette.That's why there are so many people vying for the nanny who is out of the palace to be the foster mother.Just over a quarter of an hour ago, this mother Liu was mocking her for being a fifth-rank official, but she didn't know the rules.

Concubine Zhao was trying to help Mrs. Luo with a "fair word", but Mrs. Luo was already overwhelmed by the contemptuous eyes of the crowd, "Jun... Princess, I... I just think the county The Lord is gracious." She couldn't say that because she was a family, she was a grandmother?Of course she thought so herself, but it was impossible to say so in public.

Shuyao still smiled politely and alienated: "My princess also thinks the old lady is kind, and Mother Liu is the most polite. Don't mind the old lady Luo. By the way, you just said that this is Ning Shizi's Who is my cousin? She looks so beautiful, especially suitable for this pink color."

It was only then that everyone noticed that Qin Kexin was wearing bright pink gowns today, and there were two pink beaded flowers on her pretty double bun.

The petite and bright Qin Kexin is really suitable for bright pink, which highlights her delicate and charming demeanor even more.It is different from Shuyao's elegant and soft temperament against the background of water red, but it also has its own taste.

But, suddenly, someone who reacted quickly murmured: "Isn't the cousin girl from the Luo family still in her filial piety? It seems that only half a year has passed."

The eyes of the people around immediately took on a sense of sarcasm. Girls during the filial piety period are not suitable for attending celebrations, banquets and other occasions.Since Qin Kexin has followed to live in Luo's house in the capital, the Luo's house will hold a banquet.In order to show respect for the Luo family and the guests, it is not impossible for her to come out to entertain guests.It is really not appropriate to still be dressed in plain clothes.But generally in this case, people will choose light blue, light blue, light yellow and other light colors that are not eye-catching. Qin Kexin is obviously too bright pink today, and wearing pink beads is too much, and it can even be said to be It's out of order.

Qin Kexin was very proud when she heard Shuyao praised her. She always knew what color was suitable for her and how to wear it most beautifully.In fact, cherry red best suits her appearance, but she is still in her filial age and cannot use such bright and strong colors, so she chose pink. Although this pink is a bit bright, it is still pink, right?

However, when the mocking "questions" and sneering eyes hit her, she was at a loss, as if she had been stripped naked in front of everyone.It's not right to continue standing there, and it's not right to leave to change clothes, it's embarrassing!

Mrs. Luo was also dumbfounded, she knew that Qin Kexin's outfit today was really inappropriate (Mrs. Luo San also tactfully suggested it), but how could Qi Haoning's attention be attracted to such a plain dress?How to let everyone know how outstanding her granddaughter is?These two points are the main purpose of her holding this chrysanthemum banquet today, besides making good use of Shuyao.

Even Concubine Zhao couldn't help shaking: It was intentional, it was definitely intentional.Xia Shuyao's move is so ruthless!

It's none of your business, hang on high.After all, Qin Kexin is just a little girl who has not reached the age of Ji, and she is just a cousin of the Luo family who just came from a small place. Although the color she is wearing today is indeed too bright, people who know her in the filial age will look at the Luo family's face If you keep your eyes open and close your eyes, those who don't know will not notice.

But after being reminded by Shuyao, people who don't know noticed it, and those who know naturally can't "close their eyes" anymore, lest they themselves be seen as impolite.

Besides, once it spreads like this, people's image and feeling of Qin Kexin will be bad. If the first image is bad, if there is any incident or dispute in the future, I am afraid that everyone will associate the bad things with her first.

Quick, accurate, ruthless move!But it was such a sweet, gentle and friendly compliment.Looking at Shuyao's pure, clear, warm and harmless smiling face, Concubine Zhao tried very hard to convince herself that it was just a coincidence.

She had a premonition that the "dual weapons" that she used Mrs. Luo and Qin Kexin to deal with Qi Haoning and Xia Shuyao might fail again.

If you want to control it, you can't control it, and you can't kill it if you assassinate it. God destined her, Zhao Qianlan, to be busy for half her life. Did the three of them, mother and son, end up with nothing?Qi Haoxiang is about to be 17 years old, and he will definitely get married in four or five years at the most. Is it true that he will move out of the palace obediently according to the family rules?

Back then, she kept bringing Qi Haoning to the wrong side, hoping to make him a good-for-nothing. However, an assassination failed, which made Qi Haoning alienate her. It was as if she had changed suddenly. For the closed disciple.He became the champion of martial arts.He has also made outstanding achievements repeatedly.Become a young general who is valued by the emperor and admired by everyone.Since Qi Haoxiang, whom she carefully cultivated, was neglected by Qi Haoning and received a cold reception outside, she has become more and more out of her control.

Concubine Zhao didn't want to admit it anymore, and she knew her son's seriousness well. Like Qi Haoxiang now, if he left the halo and protection of the palace, what good way out would he have in the future?What kind of good family can we talk about?Not to mention the comparison with Qi Haoning, even the comparison with Qi Haoming is probably far behind.

Thinking of Qi Haoming.Concubine Zhao thought of the recent bad things, and thought of Prince Yong's ruthlessness and neglect of her, and became even more depressed.

Qi Haoming is 21 this year, a few months older than Qi Haoning.A while ago, Prince Yong sent a letter to set him up as a marriage, and he appointed to get married in May next year, obviously to make way for Qi Haoning (there is no reason why the eldest brother will get married first when the second brother is not married).But the other party is really good, she is the concubine daughter of Uncle Anning's mansion, and I heard that she is very good in appearance, character and talent.

A few days after getting engaged, the Ministry of Industry also came to an errand for Qi Haoming, who only had a reputation as a scholar.It must have been arranged by the prince.The second master of Uncle Anning's mansion (the brother of Qi Haoming's fiancée) also worked in the Ministry of Industry before, and he is preparing to take up a foreign post recently.I happened to have some spare time, so I came here to give Qi Haoming some advice.

Concubine Zhao has always been displeased with Concubine Tian, ​​so how can she not be a hindrance to their mother and son in Qi Haoming's marriage.These years, he deliberately did not remind the prince Qi Haoming of his marriage, thinking that he would make something bad for him when the time came.Didn't expect the prince to take it personally, or was it reminded by Qi Haoning and the housekeeper?

Forget it, after all, Qi Haoming is also the son of the prince, and he is still the eldest of the three brothers. From now on, the prince will also care about Qi Haoxiang's future and whether his marriage is right (it's just that Qi Haoxiang has not even had a reputation as a scholar, and he doesn't know the prince's heart. How would you scold)?

What annoyed Concubine Zhao the most was that she originally wanted to use the two marriages of Qi Haoming and Qi Haoning to show her status in the palace and her demeanor as a "mother of the house", and to take the opportunity to make a fortune.Unexpectedly, Prince Yong clearly stated in the letter that Qi Haoming's marriage was arranged by Concubine Tian herself, and she and the housekeeper Gui Bo assisted.And Qi Haoning's wedding is not their turn to worry about, the queen mother will appoint two princesses in the capital to take care of it together with Princess Zhangzhu.

What is she, Zhao Qianlan, in the eyes of Prince Yong and the Queen Mother?What the hell is she just a working mother doing odd jobs for them?She has always thought that she is the concubine Daizheng who is in charge of Zhongfei and the actual mistress of the palace (just not the title of concubine), but in the end she is not even qualified to handle the marriage of a concubine (Qi Haoning is married, the queen mother will personally It was not too unexpected for her to come forward to control and arrange, and she didn't dare to say anything).

People like Concubine Zhao are too self-centered to think about issues. What she didn't think about is that she and Concubine Tian are both Prince Yong's concubine, with the same rank and status, and even Concubine Tian entered the palace earlier than her. Her natal family is also much stronger than her natal family (otherwise, she has been in charge of the central government all these years, wouldn't the concubine Tian's mother and son have been oppressed and embezzled by her?).She is not a serious aunt or head mother, so why must she be in charge of Qi Haoming's marriage?

No, Concubine Zhao clenched her fists, she won't admit defeat, she has calculated for more than 20 years, how can she give up now?She must strive for the best for her Xiang'er, even if she can't be the heir, she can't move out of the palace, so she has to let that bastard Qi Haoning obediently support him and his descendants.She has been oppressed by that bitch cousin all her life, and she can't get over that bitch's death. How can she let that bitch oppress her son for the rest of her life?

What side concubine Zhao didn't know was that Mrs. Luo, who was wandering so far away and begging her for advice with blinking eyes, began to be very dissatisfied with her. separated.

Mrs. Luo is really angry. It was Zhao Qianlan's idea, and it was Zhao Qianlan who encouraged her to take Qin Kexin back to Beijing, and urged her to hold Princess Fuxinggui.But when it came to the critical moment, even if she asked for help frequently, why didn't she respond in the slightest?

It was Mrs. Luo San who sighed, quietly called a confidant maid to confess a few words secretly, and then walked to Shuyao and said with a smile: "Princess, the Chrysanthemum Garden is ready, shall we go?"

Scholars prefer plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums. Luo Sanye and Mrs. Luo San happen to like chrysanthemums. It is said that the garden in Luofu is not big, but it is exquisite. Another feature is that it is "specialized". All the chrysanthemums are planted in the garden. , Rare, common, and even wild chrysanthemums on the grass, almost all the chrysanthemum varieties that can be found in Dazhou can be found in Luofu Garden.

Shuyao knew that Mrs. Luo San was helping Mrs. Luo and Qin Kexin, so she responded with a smile, and immediately stood up, leading a group of female guests to the chrysanthemum garden.Mrs. Luo San still has to give her face.It can't be too ugly for Luofu to be dragged down by the old and the young, right?

Shuyao deliberately played tricks on Qin Kexin just now, and she just wanted to warn her and Mrs. Luo, who made them plan to plot against Qi Haoning?

According to the information obtained by Liu's mother, Qin Kexin's mother, who is also the eldest sister of the first princess, is not a good person. She has bullied the first princess since she was a child, and even almost ruined the first princess because of jealousy that her younger sister looks better than her.It wasn't until later that her younger sister became Prince Yong's concubine, and her husband reprimanded her for hoping to be promoted by his brother-in-law, that she began to regret it.It's a pity that the first princess has given up on her elder sister and has no feelings for her, so she can only rely on her mother for a little benefit.

Such a person, when he died, begged his mother to send her daughter to Prince Yong's mansion, thinking of letting her daughter control the son and nephew for the benefit of the Qin family, what kind of people are these?

Shu Yao snorted coldly, how could she let these people succeed?

Although Shuyao has unknowingly put Qi Haoning in her heart now, she is looking forward to a happy marriage in this life, a husband who raises eyebrows, and several lovely children.But she still didn't expect Qi Haoning not to marry a side concubine or take concubines, just like her elder brother Shujie, who only had a sister-in-law, not even a maid in the connecting room.

That's unrealistic, even if she really asked, Qi Haoning agreed, and the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and Prince Yong would not allow it. Ordinary aristocratic families and wealthy families would not accept it, let alone Qi Haoning is a member of the royal family and the future Prince Yong?

However, even so, even if she could accept Qi Haoning's side concubine, wife, concubine Ji, etc., she would not let people with dirty intentions stuff them in, especially if they had bad intentions from the beginning A woman who schemes and uses Qi Haoning's heart, this is also her responsibility as the head of the house, isn't it?
