Princess Duan Chengcheng not only invited Zhao Shuqing to receive a title, but also held a grand recognition banquet for her. As a member of Zhao Shuqing's clan, the Zhao family also received the invitation.

When Zhao Wangshu followed Zhao Li to the banquet, he also saw people from the mansion. Yes, even Mrs. Zhao attended in person, but Zhao Shuqing's father did not come.

Zhao Shuqing’s biological mother passed away shortly after she was born, and she was raised by her father.

When the clan was choosing a candidate, they pitied her father and daughter for their dependence on each other and did not choose her. She insisted on going to the city.

Zhao Wangshu only found out about this recently, and he deeply felt that Zhao Shuqing was very ambitious and capable. She was really blind and had not noticed it before.

The marriage recognition banquet was quite lively. Zhao Shuqing was wearing the gorgeous palace clothes of the county lord, with a high bun. Her face, which had been bloodless all year round, had a touch of rosy. I don’t know if it was because of rouge or because of the rouge. Excited and bloody.

"It's true that people rely on their disguises, and horses rely on their saddles. With this girl Shuqing's actions, seven out of ten colors become nine out of ten." Zhao Li commented in a low voice.

"A country girl climbed up to the eldest princess and was granted the title of county lord. She is really lucky.

"I don’t know what charming tricks were used to confuse the eldest princess. , only then can we have this heaven-shaking glory and wealth. "

Zhao Wangshu pouted, Song's consort has died of illness, Song Huai is young, Duan is a grown princess, and she is not the emperor's sister. Her power is limited, so she will bring great glory and wealth.

And look It seems that Bin knows that there are only a few people with real power in the court.

"With the title of County Lord, you can find your son-in-law, fly up the branches and become a phoenix. "

"I heard that her mother passed away just after giving birth to her. As a widowed daughter, the eldest princess still wants to recognize her as her adopted daughter, so she is not afraid of being kidnapped. "

Zhao Wangshu couldn't listen anymore and tugged on Zhao Li's sleeve, "Mom, I saw Gardenia. I'll go say hello to her. ”

　“Go. "Ms. Zhao Li was chatting happily with several ladies.

Zhao Wangshu went to find Yao Shanzhi, and Yao Shanzhi happened to come over to find her.

As soon as the two met, Yao Shanzhi said: "Yue'er, your hairpin is so unique. ”

Zhao Wangshu’s hair is inserted into a hairpin woven with fine gold wire into the shape of an phoenix flower. The hairpin is also dotted with fine gems.

“The picture I drew , let Accord’s masters spend a month to build it. "Zhao Wangshu raised his hand and held the hairpin.

"It's a work of art. Yao Shanzhi took her arm and said, "I also want a unique hairpin. The price is not an issue." ”

"Okay, I've drawn a picture and shown it to you. If you think it's good, I'll ask the Accord master to build it for you."

"Yue'er, you are so kind. The more I like you." Yao Shanzhi rested her head on Zhao Wangshu's shoulder and rubbed her affectionately.

The two were chatting when someone announced: "Princess Duan has arrived."

They saw a group of palace maids surrounded by them, wearing bright red cloud brocade palace attire, and combing their hair. Princess Duan, wearing a high bun and a pearl phoenix crown, came over.

Behind her were Song Yuanqu and Song Huai. Song Yuanqu had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were cold. Song Huai was young and did not hide his emotions at all, with a small face.

Even the biological children are not happy, and they have to adopt an adopted daughter. What does the grown-up princess want to do?

If it weren’t for the fact that Princess Duan Chengcheng and Zhao Shuqing’s father, Zhao Shen, had never met, Zhao Wangshu would have suspected that Zhao Shuqing was the child of Princess Duan Changcheng and Zhao Shen.

Princess Duan grew up and sat down with a smile, "Let's get started."

, Zhao Shuqing, a handsome and intelligent woman, respectful and filial, with your majesty’s approval, was adopted as a foster daughter by Princess Duan Changchang.”

“Your majesty specially ennobles Zhao Shuqing as the head of Chunjuan County.”

Zhao Shuqing knelt down and served tea, "My daughter has met her adoptive mother, please have tea."

She was so excited that from now on, she was the daughter of the eldest princess. She is worthy of Chen Xiao, and her efforts to please the eldest princess are not in vain.

"Good boy." Princess Duan took the teacup and took a sip, "This is a gift from your adoptive mother."

The palace maid took out the three-layer Open the makeup boxes one by one. The first layer contains about ten hairpins, the second layer contains bracelets, including gold and jade, and the third layer contains earrings and necklaces.

“Thank you, mother.” Zhao Shuqing’s eyes lit up as she looked at the jewelry.

Princess Duan Changcheng was really willing to give up. Song Yuanqu looked on with cold eyes, only thinking that all this was too ridiculous.

Princess Ke Duan grew up and said, "Yuan Qu, Huai'er, come here."

Song Yuanqu held back his anger and led Song Huai over, "Mother."

"Yuan Qu, you are older than Shu Qing. You are the elder sister. You must take more care of your sister in the future."

"I will." Song Yuanqu replied lightly.

Princess Duan Chengcheng said to Zhao Shuqing: "You must get along well with your sister and brother."

She did not tell Zhao Shuqing that as a sister, she should take good care of her brother.

Song Yuanqu’s eyes were filled with disappointment, and he led Song Huai away.

When the recognition banquet began, Zhao Shuqing and Song Yuanqu sat together. Song Yuanqu didn’t even give her the corner of his eye and only talked to Yao Shanzhi.

Several other girls at this table ignored Zhao Shuqing. It was like a basin of ice water poured on Zhao Shuqing's head, making her sober up.

Even though she was the adopted daughter of Princess Duan, even if the emperor made her the county head, she was not an orthodox noblewoman. These noblewomen did not recognize her and were unwilling to make friends with her.

Zhao Shuqing gritted her teeth, and the indignation in her heart almost burst out of her mouth, but she held it back.

She was going to marry Chen Xiao, and she couldn't ruin the event just because of her anger. She buried her head and ate the food in silence, pretending not to hear the whispers of the girls.

But this suppressed resentment, when she met Zhao Wangshu, she couldn't help but burst out, "Zhao Wangshu, you are so rude. When you see me, you don't greet me politely."

Zhao Wangshu chuckled lightly and saluted: "The daughter of the people greets the county lord. May the county lord be blessed. Is this okay?"

She said the word "women of the people" very clearly.

"Zhao Wangshu, do you look down on me?" Zhao Shuqing asked with tears in his eyes.

"Don't cry, County Lord. If someone misunderstands me, I won't be able to defend myself." Zhao Wangshu took a step back, "You are now the Emperor's personally appointed County Lord. Who dares to I look down on you. The county master doesn’t have to be so self-deprecating."

"I did this for a reason, and I was not wrong."

" Zhao Wangshu took another step back, " You did a good job, how could you be wrong?"

"Are you mocking me?" Zhao Shuqing was very sensitive.

"People's girls don't dare." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

"You know? I used to envy you. I envy you that your family background is better than mine. I envy you that you can get rid of the control of the mansion without any scruples and can marry the person you love." Zhao Shuqing smiled sadly. road.

"If the county master has nothing to do, the daughter of the people will resign first." Zhao Wangshu was too lazy to listen to her nonsense and turned around to leave.

"Zhao Wangshu, I won't regret it." Zhao Shuqing shouted at her back.

"May the county master seek kindness and be kind." Zhao Wangshu replied to her.
