The concubine is addicted to the world

Chapter 254, Ling's VS Mrs. He, Second Watch
The weather in Kyoto has gradually become a bit cooler, especially in the morning and evening.

Su Han's lower abdomen is flat, you can't see it unless you look carefully, with one hand in front of her belly, her face is soft.

"Princess Concubine, I am overjoyed. His Royal Highness has won the battle and will be back within a month."

Huazhu walked in excitedly, unable to restrain her joy.

When Su Han heard the words, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes lit up, "Really?"

Huazhu nodded vigorously, "Of course it's true, how dare a servant lie to the Crown Princess, this is Wei Ran's quick delivery of the letter, except for the emperor, no one else knows about it, it should be announced to the world."

Su Han's eyes brightened, his heart jumped for joy, and his brows were filled with joy.

"Rewards! There are rewards for all, and everyone will be rewarded with a three-month rule."

"Thank you, servant girl." Huazhu bowed and saluted.

The news of the crown prince's victory and return swept across the entire Eastern Chu like a gust of wind, fast and urgent.

The He family was overjoyed when they heard the news.

"Everyone will be rewarded, and each will be rewarded with a hundred copper coins!"

Mrs. He couldn't open her brows and eyes with a smile, and she felt a burst of pride in her heart, that was the descendants of the He family, and the glory of the He family.

"Hurry up, go to the ancestral hall and burn more incense sticks. You must tell the ancestors about this news."

Mrs. He hastened to tell the butler that since the last time she got into a stalemate with Mr. He, Mrs. He has restrained herself and dared not bring up the matter of changing her surname again. It's just that this matter has been buried in her heart and she has been refusing to let it go for a long time.

"Mother, daughter-in-law, go prepare!"

Li's heart was beating wildly, the crown prince was coming back, and the second room was finally able to stand out, so he hurriedly prepared.

Although Second Master He was happy, his smile was a little forced, Mrs. He saw it and paused.

"What's going on? Why aren't you happy when your nephew won the battle?"

Second Master He touched his nose, fortunately He Guogong was not there, approached Mrs. He, leaned over, and said in a low voice.

"Just now when my son came back, he passed by the Su Mansion, and there were all people there. Look at our family, there can be several relatives, and it is right that the royal relatives should be courteous, but we are the prince's close relatives, so we will be in the Su Mansion no matter what. Ahead."

After Second Master He's words fell, Mrs. He seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water, and the joy just now dissipated a bit.

"Is this true?"

He Erye nodded, "Mother, how dare my son lie to you, it's absolutely true, it shows that in the capital, everyone still trusts the Su family, and doesn't take the He family seriously at all."

Every time Second Master He said a word, Mrs. He's complexion became darker, she frowned, and remained silent for a while.

"Mother, this is a great thing. The streets are hung with red silk and satin. I'm so happy."

As soon as He Chunlian heard about this, she hurriedly brought her daughter to the Duke's mansion to congratulate her, for fear of being a step too late.

He Chunlian was immersed in joy and couldn't extricate herself, she hadn't seen any strangeness about Mrs. He yet.

Mrs. He turned her eyes and landed on the two girls behind He Chunlian, a thought flashed away.

Smiling, "Yeah, it's a great event. This is a major event for the He family. If you don't tell me, I forgot. I will hang up the silk later."

Mrs. Li happened to come back, "Hey, mother, leave all these to me, so you don't have to worry about it, everything is ready."

Mrs. He nodded, and then said, "Go prepare a post and hand it to the Su family. The in-laws are not too far away. If you meet in the future, if you don't know each other, let people see it as a joke. If it is the princess It would be even better if you could come, I, an old woman, have never seen the Crown Princess before."

Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, glanced at Mrs. He, then turned to look at Second Master He.

Second Master He winked at Li Shi, Li Shi understood and was about to speak.

"Crown Princess? When I came here just now, I happened to see the sedan chair of the Crown Princess stopped at the gate of the Su residence."

He Chunlian seemed unintentional.

Mrs. He was silent for a moment, looked at Mrs. Li, "Prepare a gift, come to the door immediately."

"Mother, I'm afraid this is not very good." Although the Li family is not a famous lady, she also knows what the rules are. Wouldn't it be more ridiculous to come to the door rashly?

Mrs. He's face darkened, "Why, I'm going to see my daughter-in-law, so it's your turn to tell me what to do?"

Li Shi was scolded in public, her face turned pale and green, and she waved her hands again and again, "Mother, what's the matter, how dare my daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law is going to prepare now."

How could Mrs. Li dare to offend Mrs. He, she didn't dare to speak out when she was angry, and hurried forward and backward.

He Chunlian was also taken aback, "Mother, why are you so serious on the day of great joy?"

Mrs. He glanced at He Chunlian, then at Liu Zige, then turned to look at Yang Yue. They were all about the same height and shape.

"Sister Yue, take out a set of clothes that your aunt made for you two days ago, lend them to your cousin Ge, and ask your aunt to make two sets for you again later."

Yang Yue was slightly startled, but soon came back to his senses, and nodded at Mrs. He, "Yes."

Mrs. He's actions confused everyone, especially He Chunlian, who took a look at the clothes of the two children, especially Liu Zige.

Mo was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and they were all green. She was full of water and good looks. She was dressed in pink silk and satin, which was extraordinarily delicate. It was newly made a month ago, so there was nothing wrong with it.

Mrs. He pursed her lips, "Sister Ge, you will follow grandma to Su's house later."

"Grandmother, what about me?" Liu Ziwu didn't want to, and wrapped her arm around Mrs. He, "Grandmother, Sister Wu also wants to go."

Mrs. He patted Liu Ziwu's hand, "It's the first time I go, it's not good to bring too much, there will be chances in the future."

What Liu Ziwu was talking about, He Chunlian finally understood, and pulled Liu Ziwu back, "You are still young, why worry, I will take you there next time."

Liu Ziwu stomped her feet, pursed her mouth, and watched Liu Zige follow Yang Yue away.

After a while, Mrs. Li came back, sweating profusely, but saw Liu Zige standing in front of Mrs. He in brand-new clothes and delicate makeup, the material of that suit was very familiar.

"Mother, everything is ready." Li Shi said, glanced at Yang Yue, and immediately remembered, this is the clothes she made for Yang Yue, how could it be worn on Liu Zige?

Mrs. Li glanced at He Chunlian, who was full of joy, and there was something she didn't understand. When she touched Mrs. He's face, she swallowed the words again.

It's irritating!

Li Shi glared at Yang Yue fiercely, Yang Yue pretended not to know, lowered her head slightly, and tried to hide her body as much as possible.

"Since everything is ready, let's go." Mrs. He squinted at Li Shi, "Second daughter-in-law, let's go."

Seeing Mrs. Li in a daze, Mrs. He frowned displeasedly, and called out.

"Mother, daughter-in-law is going too?" Li was stunned, without any precautions, "Okay, daughter-in-law will go now."

Mrs. Li couldn't wait to curry favor with Mrs. Su, and followed Mrs. He desperately.

He Chunlian curled her lips. As for being so happy, it was because of Shen Wanning's incompatibility that such a good thing happened to Erfang.

Speaking of Shen Wanning, the eldest room soared into the sky, but it was a pity that this status was destined to fail, and the second room was in vain.

Having reaped a lot of benefits, He Chunlian wished she could be a man again, but as if thinking of something, the corners of her mouth curled up.

Rose Pavilion

Shen Wanning seemed to be grounded, forgotten by the whole family, and isolated from the world.

Mrs. He no longer needs Shen Wanning to greet her every day, and even her beloved grandson, He Yu, has been left out in the cold.

"Mother, don't be sad anymore. Grandma just ignored it for a while. After all, I haven't seen my eldest brother for a long time."

He Yu is fifteen years old, with a neat appearance and a handsome appearance. He has lost a lot of weight in recent days.

big brother?

A bitterness welled up in the corner of Shen Wanning's mouth, "Yu'er, the prince's return is not a good thing for you. He is the favored son of heaven and has been favored since he was a child. With the prince here, Yu'er can only be a bastard. My mother has suffered so much. After many years, it was only close to succeeding, but unfortunately..."

Shen Wanning stared at the sky outside the window in a daze, feeling quite uncomfortable. She had been with that man for more than ten years, but it was not worth the short five years of Princess Qingyang.

After so many years of dedication, even the stone should be warmed up. Shen Wanning clearly felt that He Guogong was far away from her again.

He Yu was silent for a while, and then said, "Mother, father treats his son differently after all. Don't overthink it. Over the years, the He family has owed big brother. They want to make up for it, and my son understands."

"Hehe, owe?" Shen Wanning looked back and sneered, "Since I was young, I was dressed in rich clothes and fine food, and I was also the son of the prince. He was the son of the prince at birth, and he became the prince after he was abolished. How has he suffered at all?"

He Yu remained silent.

Shen Wanning smiled, "I've been dead for so many years, and I'm still being missed by others. Father, son, husband, everything is needed, and son hasn't suffered at all. Yu'er, what kind of life did you live when you were young? ? Is it because of that woman that I have been despised so much that I don’t even have the qualifications for scientific examinations?”

"Mother!" He Yu frowned, "Mother, why is she talking too much? Brother is innocent. Why did he provoke us?"

Shen Wanning paused for a moment, closed her eyes, remained silent for a while, then opened them again, and said to He Yu, "Mother, I can only rely on you now, and I must strive for success. What about the crown prince, it is impossible to inherit the big house, your father is under your knees You are the only son, Yu'er, you are mother's last hope."

He Yu only felt that these words were heavy, and he couldn't breathe, and nodded heavily to Shen Wanning's eyes.

"Good boy!" Shen Wanning smiled gratifiedly.

Su Fu
"Ma'am, the old lady of the He family is here." The butler hurried over and said.

"The He family?" Ling's mouth still had a smile that was too late to hold back, and he frowned, "It came so suddenly, hurry up, please come in."

Ling raised her eyes and glanced at Yiren, "Go to the Young Madam and tell the Crown Princess."

"Yes!"

Ling couldn't figure out the purpose of the He family, but for Qi Yao's sake, she stood up to greet her.

Mrs. He got out of the carriage, and the steward was waiting on her side.

"Madam He, our wife will be here later."

Mrs. He smiled lightly, standing in front of the Su Mansion, although not as grand as the Duke's Mansion, there was a strong smell of books.

One step at a time, one step at a time.

Mrs. He supported the hand of the servant girl and walked very slowly, looking around at the scene in the yard, the Jiuqu Langfang, the rockery and the water in the pond, all of which are unique, even the cobblestones under her feet are round and plump, without any blemishes.

Li's eyes brightened. Before, she always felt that the Duke's mansion was too big and there were too few people serving her. However, in Su's mansion, maidservants could be seen everywhere, neatly dressed, passing the garden.

It's late autumn, but there are still many flower buds blooming, colorful, surrounded by flowers, and full of vitality.

Mrs. He walked very slowly, and from a distance she saw a lady walking over with a kind of maid.

Every gesture is elegant and noble, her appearance is excellent, full of charm, and there is a sense of nobility hidden between her brows, she is worthy of being a daughter of a famous family.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li raised her head in embarrassment, and when she stood there, she was immediately compared.

"This is the third lady? I'm sorry, I suddenly interrupted you, don't be offended."

Mrs. He raised a smile at the corner of her mouth, her smile was friendly, but she was looking at Ling Shi in private, she was secretly startled, a mother already had this appearance, and she didn't know how stunning the Crown Princess was.

Ling's lips curled up, "The old madam is out, this way please."

Ling's family is very good at seeing people. From the moment Mrs. He entered the door to now, it took a stick of incense to come here, and she brought a beautiful little girl by her side. The smile on the corner of Ling's mouth faded a little. .

Lifting her eyes, Li felt that Ling was a bit arrogant and difficult to get along with at first glance, and she was actually cold to the old lady, who was the prince's real grandmother.

Sure enough, the rumors that Ling's character is not good and that he is arrogant are true.

Li Shi looked at Ling Shi's posture, he was very handsome, with a straight waist, imitating Ling Shi's posture, dignified and magnificent.

Mrs. He just smiled and followed closely beside Ling.

"I heard about the third lady's name early in the morning, and seeing her today, it really is true."

Mrs. He reserved three points in her words, boasting about whether people were straightforward, and she did not lose her aura.

"Old Madam He has a great reputation. It should be me, a junior, who came to visit you. It's just that there is something at home, so it's really inconvenient. Don't blame the old lady for delaying until today."

As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling face with your hand. Ling knows this well, and always keeps a faint smile on his face.

"We should come, regardless of seniority. The third lady is too polite. We also want to thank the third lady for raising such a good granddaughter-in-law for the He family."

Mrs. He's smile deepened, and she exchanged greetings with Ling's along the way.

Ling's smile paused, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. We can't intervene. The prince is the dragon and phoenix among people."

After Ling's words fell, Mrs. He's face froze, and she would not recover soon.

Walking all the way to the hall, Mrs. He sat in the upper hall, Ling frowned slightly, and sat on the other side with a smile.

"Pleasant, serve tea!"

Ling glanced at Yiren, Yiren understood, and took the little maid to entertain Mrs. He.

Mrs. He picked up the tea, took a sip, a look of appreciation flashed across her eyes, she took another sip and then put it down.

On the other hand, Mrs. Li had never drank such a good tea, she drank one cup in one go, and Yiren added another cup upon seeing this.

Mrs. He frowned slightly, glanced at Ling again, and coughed.

Li's movement of serving tea was a little slower, then put it down again, and smiled at Ling.

"Third Madam, I am Li Shi, the Second Aunt of the Crown Prince."

Ling nodded, "Second Madam."

"That's my youngest daughter's daughter, her name is Zige, she's used to being considerate, I'm used to taking it with me everywhere, this child, come and meet the third lady."

Mrs. He waved at Liu Zige, Liu Zige's heart was still beating wildly, as if he was dreaming, he flew up to the branch.

With a blushing face, he said crisply, "Zi Ge has met the third lady."

Ling smiled slightly, "Raise your head and let me have a look. I saw it just now, and I don't know what it looks like."

When Liu Zige heard it, he twisted the handkerchief slyly, his ears were red, and when he raised his head, his eyes were full of timidity.

Ling's lips curled up, she looked good, but she was a bit petty.

"It's really good. No wonder the old lady is so distressed. Come on, good boy, I don't have anything to give you when we meet for the first time. Be careful, don't be disgusted."

Ling took off the jade bracelet that she put on half an hour ago, and put it on Liu Zisinger's wrist. The little girl's wrist was white, and against the green bracelet, it was a bit pleasing to the eye.

Liu Zige was overjoyed, he only stared at the bracelet, sizing it up secretly.

Not to mention Ling's, even Yiren couldn't help frowning, Liu Zige was too uneducated, it's fine if he doesn't thank you, why is he still weighing the bracelet in front of his face.

"Zi Ge, come back first." Mrs. He beckoned lovingly, Liu Zige returned to the old lady obediently after hearing the words, smiling sweetly.

Ling's expression flickered slightly, and he lowered his head and sipped a small sip of tea, concealing the strangeness in his eyes.

"Third Madam, we will be in-laws in the future. It is inevitable that the He family will be unfamiliar when they first arrive. You need to walk around more. The crown prince will be back soon. I am so happy for such a big happy event. I came here to inquire about the crown prince's preferences." , so as not to make mistakes and make jokes."

Mrs. He looked at Ling and said with a smile.

Ling nodded, "The crown prince doesn't have any special preferences, so don't worry about the old lady."

Mrs. He smiled, and glanced at Mrs. Li privately. Mrs. Li understood, and said with a smile, "I've been here for so long, I looked around, why don't you see the Crown Princess?"
