Mrs. Zhao didn't take it seriously and said: "Even if you are angry, it is only temporary. I am doing this for his own good. He will understand in the future."
Originally, her son did not listen to the advice and went alone. She was also very angry at the border. Isn't she okay now?
How can mother and son have an overnight feud?
The confidant Auntie was still a little worried, but she didn’t dare to say anything more. After all, this was a matter between mother and son. It was hard for her as a servant to say too much, so she could only do as she was told.
Mrs. Zhao’s people are still very efficient in handling things. Jiang Jiuniang quickly received the invitation. It was a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, which was held in Prince Jing’s courtyard.
Jiang Jiuniang could guess that Prince Jing was looking for help from the concubine. If Concubine Zhao could help, it would be better. At least it would be able to retain some of Prince Jing’s image, and she would help create some opportunities. , there is still a high chance that they can match each other.
"You take your mother with you so that I can keep an eye on you."
Lu Baichuan didn't want her to attend that kind of banquet. After all, the situation is not stable yet. There are too many uncertainties in the world, and it would be bad if it hurt her.
But he knew that he couldn’t stop it, and he also knew that she had good intentions and wanted to help, so he could only take the initiative to compromise. He had heard someone say that a woman’s emotions are the most important during pregnancy, and she should go with her. The idea is to keep her in a happy mood, so that the condition of the child in her belly will be better.
"I originally thought so."
Jiang Jiuniang nodded without refuting. The banquet was the center of the gossip, and I believe Ms. Sun would be happy to go.
Soon the day of the banquet arrived. Jiang Jiuniang and Mrs. Sun went out early in the morning. Mrs. Sun knew that this was a banquet specially organized by Mrs. Zhao for Prince Jing, and she couldn't help but sigh: "What a pity for the parents in the world. , Prince Jing is so old and has not yet married, Princess Zhao must be very anxious, and she must want to do something at today's banquet to enhance the relationship between His Highness Prince Jing and Miss Na Mei."
Halfway through, Ms. Sun said with some melancholy: "But Prince Jing probably won't be able to stay in the capital for too long. After they get married, they will probably have to go to the border or to the fiefdom. Then Miss Mei won't even want to go back to her parents' home in the future. Easy."
"Hahahaha, you are thinking too much, aren't you? You haven't even written these horoscopes yet!"
Jiang Jiuniang couldn't help laughing, Sun Shi rolled his eyes and ignored her. The two of them chatted and laughed and soon arrived at the other courtyard where the banquet was held. At this time, many ladies and ladies from other families had arrived. Everyone greeted each other and entered the courtyard together.
After all, it was a banquet hosted by herself. Mrs. Zhao arrived early. At this time, she was surrounded by a group of people talking. Jiang Jiuniang and Mrs. Sun stepped forward together and saluted. Both parties said some kind words. Then Jiang Jiuniang made an excuse to leaveLet's go, let's go out now.
Concubine Zhao didn’t like Jiang Jiuniang. She didn’t like her very early. When she beat her son like that at the little princess’s banquet, she would remember that hatred for the rest of her life.
It’s just that now the son is getting closer to the couple, and the Lu family is now very favored in front of the emperor. Even if they don’t like it in their hearts, they still have to maintain superficial peace.
Jiang Jiuniang also doesn’t like Mrs. Zhao. Although she has only met her a few times, her face looks quite mean. She doesn’t want to have too much contact with her and will avoid her whenever possible.
After coming out, she found a place to sit and asked Sun to talk to her old sisters.
Ms. Sun was a little moved, but she still said: "I came today to look after you. What will you do if I leave?"
"Don't worry, I'll just sit here We are not going anywhere here, and there are Yueshu and the others watching over us. Nothing will happen. You go find more people to talk to, and tell me if you come back with anything new."
She wanted to drive away the Sun family. The little old lady was a little naive and there were some things she didn't want her to know.
When Mrs. Sun heard that it was feasible, she told Yueshu and the others to keep an eye on Jiang Jiuniang and not let her run around, and then she took the two little maids to chat with her old sisters.
As soon as she left, Jiang Jiu Niang told Yue Shu: "Arrange someone to keep an eye on Miss Dianmei and Mrs. Zhao, and come back and report to me if there is any situation."
Since After agreeing to help Prince Jing, it is necessary to pay more attention to the situation of those two people.
She has never been in contact with Mrs. Zhao and doesn’t know much about her as a person. If someone can see what she can do and then cooperate with her, she may get twice the result with half the effort.
As soon as Mei Lanyi arrived, she was called to see Mrs. Zhao. There were not many people in front of Mrs. Zhao at this time. Coincidentally, the only few people there were all unmarried people who had some thoughts about Prince Jing. Girl.
This arrangement is somewhat intriguing.
Mei Lanyi didn’t think too deeply about it. After arriving, she respectfully bowed to Mrs. Zhao, and then gave her a seat.
"I heard that there is some misunderstanding between Prince Jing and Miss Mei. It is really presumptuous for me to invite Miss Mei to come here today under the pretext of admiring chrysanthemums."
Concubine Zhao He opened his mouth and kept his posture very low, as if he wanted to personally apologize to Prince Jing.
The faces of the girls next to them looked a little embarrassed for a moment. From this look, Mrs. Zhao must have fallen in love with Mei Lanyi, so is there something wrong with them staying here?
But it’s not appropriate to leave now. They can only lower their heads and reduce their presence. After all, if Mei Lanyi really becomes Princess Jing, it will be them.There is no one who can't be offended. Even if they have illusions about Prince Jing, they can't show off their power at this time.
Mei Lanyi also looked a little unhappy. When she got the invitation, she knew that it was probably for her. It was probably Prince Jing’s idea. She thought of various ways to refuse. But she didn't expect that Concubine Zhao would lower her attitude so low. How could she respond?
She had a look of fear on her face and said hurriedly: "The concubine said something serious. It was the little girl who bumped into His Highness Prince Jing, and caused His Highness Prince Jing to fall into the water and catch the cold. She really deserves to be punished!"< br />
As she said this, she looked up and saw Mrs. Zhao's expression was not friendly, and realized that Mrs. Zhao was angry.
And it’s the kind of anger that is undisguised and expressed directly on the face.
Her knees softened and she knelt directly on the ground.
Others also noticed something was wrong and immediately cheered up to watch the fun.
Looking at whether Mrs. Zhao really hates Mei Lanyi, or if she is just pretending to scare her, maybe they all still have a chance.
In front of so many people, Mrs. Zhao didn’t want to go too far and spread it to her son’s ears. She waved her hands and said: “Get up. Although you do deserve to be punished, you should be punished. The palace didn’t ask you to kneel down, otherwise Prince Jing would come and blame me for bullying you.”
Mei Lanyi’s face was ugly, knowing that Concubine Zhao was deliberately trying to embarrass herself, she was flustered in her heart, but she was confused on her face. Pretending to be stable, he stood up and sat down again.
But then I heard Mrs. Zhao say: "Miss Mei is really good. My son has never been so interested in any woman in these years. I don't know what you think. If you are interested, I will The emperor asked the emperor to marry you two. If it is unintentional, you should make it clear earlier, and don't let my son suffer from it."
This is for Mei Lanyi to hear. Yes, I also told it to several noble ladies around me.
Mrs. Zhao was clearly telling everyone that Mei Lanyi was deliberately hanging on Prince Jing.
