Because Lin Hui was engaged to her, all the other wives liked to tease her. She was not embarrassed at all, she only felt annoyed and followed Lin Shu out.
The moment she walked out of the door, Lin Hui said, "I only feel that it's a little different for big sister Qing to be willing to do it today."
Whether it was Zhang Yuanqing's previous actions or her petty thoughts, Lin Shu had never told his about it. She had always felt that it was really rare for Lin Hui's personality to be so pure, and it would probably be a good thing if he could be properly protected.
Now that she heard this, Lin Shu actually started laughing, "What do you think is different about her?"
Lin Hui thought for a long time before saying, "I, I don't know either... Anyway, he felt that she was different than usual. Didn't they say that the Lateral Consort's Empress could not wear red? Normally, no matter how ostentatious she was in Third Prince's Mansion, it would be fine. But why did she still wear red clothes today, wasn't that just embarrassing for Third Princess? The third prince doesn't care? "
Who was the Third Prince? Not to mention the red dress that could only be worn by the Chief Consort, even if she wished for nothing more than for Zhang Yuanqing to wear the Phoenix Robe that could only be worn by the Empress, he could think of ways to get one for Zhang Yuanqing.
Lin Shu said: "You're talking about magnanimity! Where in the world did Zhang Yuanqing have such an aura? At that time, even thoughhee was the granddaughter of the Elder Zhang, his Zhang Family and family background were unknown, and no matter where he went, she did not dare to reveal too much. Back then, even though her education was clearly above the Second Sister, she always avoided the edge of the Second Sister, and waited for the day when he could choose an imperial concubine before revealing his true talents … He knew that he was the Lateral Consort and did not dare to steal the edge of the Queen. But now that the Third Princess had completely fallen out of favor with the Third Prince and had received the Empress's favor, he only felt that the position of the Third Princess was easy to obtain. Naturally, his entire demeanor changed. "
Zhang Yuanqing's fox tail that had been hidden for so many years had finally been exposed.
"No, no!" Lin Hui shook his head, looking at a loss, "Are you saying that she is … Is she a scheming person in the first place? "
Scenes from her childhood flashed through her mind. The more she thought about it, the more she realized that something was wrong, and in the end, she even shook off Lin Shu's hand. "Sister Shu, I understand, she … She is not a good person. Did you already know that? Why didn't you tell me? "It caused me to treat her as a friend in my heart."
Lin Shu smiled as she looked at her, "Didn't you understand now?"
In this lifetime, every person had to pass through many paths. She didn't want to guide Lin Hui in which path she should walk, and who she should meet.
Lin Hui fumed: "In the future, I will definitely strive a bit for Zhang Yuanqing, and it's fortunate that I treated her like a big sister before. When Second Sister was originally speaking ill of her, I even helped her defend her … "Also, every time she posted with me, I would run really fast and pull you along with me. Did you already know that by then?"
After saying that, she nodded to herself and muttered, "No wonder you didn't want to go to the Third Prince's Mansion at the beginning and also didn't want to come into contact with her anymore. I really didn't expect her to be such a person."
Lin Shu nodded, "That's right, I already knew it when that happened."
The two of them continued on and on for a while. Lin Hui had never been able to hide her words, she had initially thought that Zhang Yuanqing was good and wished that she could give him a portion of the good stuff. Now that she thought about it, she felt that her kindness towards him was like feeding a dog.
However, in the end, she continued to say that the Third Princess was pitiful and was unavoidably a little mischievous.
The two of them spoke as they walked around the flower garden of the Duke Andong Palace. When they were about to return, they heard a crisp voice not far away, which carried a hint of immaturity, and could tell that it was the young Maid, "Didn't Madame look down on the Mrs. Shizi? Why did he even agree to the banquet at Mrs. Shizi? "It's really weird, I heard my wife's elder sister say that she's planning to help the Cypriots in the County Prince …"
Before she even finished speaking, another girl spoke up. She sounded a little older than the Maid, "You are still young, you don't know much about this place, and it is true that the Madam does not like the Mrs. Shizi, but the Mrs. Shizi has Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion behind them, and even Jiang Family. If we can use this opportunity to rope them in, it will only bring us benefits and not harm us. Mistress would like to use this opportunity to get to know a few more people, so that the official road of County Prince will be easier in the future. "
After saying that, she paused for a moment before continuing, "However, does your wife plan to go to the Crown Prince's side? Have you heard anything? "
The little maidservant who had spoken just now giggled, "I heard that there's one. Could it be that big sister wants to join in the fun as well?"
"Ah pei, what nonsense are you spouting? "Believe it or not, I'll wring your mouth …"
As the two voices faded away, Lin Shu couldn't help but look at Lin Hui. After they had completely quieted down, Lin Hui then said in a low voice, "Looking at the date, Second Sister has only been married to Second Brother-in-law for half a month. How is Duke Andong’s wife so vicious?"
Lin Shu laughed: "This is not strange, Duke Andong’s wife heard that Second Sister has an extremely strong temper, and has an arrogant heart, maybe because she saw that Second Sister had gone soft on the surface, her heart was still stubborn, and thought about how Second Sister's personality could not be changed in a short period of time, so he wanted to send someone to second sister's room to destroy the prestige of Second Sister!"
They were waiting for the both of them to see Lin Qian again. Even though Lin Qian had a contented look on her face, he couldn't help but look at her with a pitiful gaze.
But Lin Qian still acted like a good sister in front of everyone, holding onto Lin Shu with one hand and Lin Hui with the other, "Quick! Sit down! It's about to start, I sent some people to the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion's east wing, saying that it's a new dish that was only developed by Celestial Fragrance Pavilion, when that time comes, all of you have to give it a try! "
Although there were not many wives from the various families that were invited today, there were already three tables that were fully seated. Nobility Clans like Zhang Yuanqing and Lin Jia were seated at the same table with the royal relatives, like the First Madam and the other wives of the aristocratic families. There were also Lin Shu and Lin Hui, the other young ladies that had not come out of the pavilion, sitting at the same table.
Zhang Yuanqing sat on the seat of honor, glanced at Lin Qian, and ridiculed: "Duke Andong really dotes on her sister, at that time when Sister Shu and Sis Hui'er are married, what good thing is it that it can't eat? Let me say it, I should leave Dongpo Elbow for you to mend your own body, it would be more important for you to give birth to a big fat boy early on in the Duke Andong Mansion! "
She had received some advice from the Grandma Zhangda before she came here, saying that she would give Lin Qian face today. Heh, she wasn't willing to give Lin Qian face!
That day, Lin Qian had relied on his talented daughter in the capital and belittled herself countless times, but after her reputation rose, Lin Qian had stuck up against her in front of countless other girls, so he couldn't help but think that she did not know anything because she looked down on everyone just because she had a little bit of literary talent.
It must be known that it was not easy for the Duke Andong’s wife to obtain a son like the Red County Prince An Dong to. Now, all she wished for was to be able to carry his grandson, so she couldn't believe that the Duke Andong’s wife wouldn't be in a rush.
After Lin Qian heard this, the smile on her face froze.
's expression did not change as he smiled and stepped out to smooth things over, "Lateral Consort Zhang is right, I have secretly told Sister Qian a few times, once we get married, we will no longer be girls of our own family, but the daughter-in-law of someone else's family, the most important thing is to open up a branch of the husband's family."
Originally, his daughter was not as impatient as he thought, why is it that the more she works, the more she will return, "Look at you, is it that you can't bear to see Sis Hui'er and Sister Shu eat Dongpo Elbow? Since you like to eat Dongpo Elbow, then eat two more pieces later. Seriously, you're already married, yet you still think you're a girl? What's so delicious about eating it in Third Prince's Mansion? If you really like it, I'll send someone to set up Celestial Fragrance Pavilion and deliver it to you everyday. "
With these two wonderful people joking around, this little episode was finally over.
Zhang Yuanqing and Lin Jia usually did not appear much, but when the audience saw them, they started to flatter and fawn over them. In the end, the topic of discussion was all about the recent situation in the hall, and it had to be known that this madam did not come out to eat or drink.
Zhang Yuanqing did not let them down and laughed: "... Look at you all. Why are you all so short-sighted? I am just an inner chamber woman. How much can I know? "However, there's been some good news coming out from the palace in the past few days. Even if the emperor is unhappy about the matters over at Fujian, causing all the lords to feel anxious and fearful, once this news spreads, I'm afraid the emperor will also be happy for a while."
What news?
Everyone started to ask at once, and Zhang Yuanqing also started to flirt with him, waiting for everyone to flatter and flatter him for a good while, before slowly opening his mouth: "Eighth Prince is going to say marriage."
After she finished speaking, her gaze faintly fell on Lin Shu's face. Actually, not only her, many of the people present had already started to secretly measure Lin Shu's complexion.
"Eighth Prince wants to say 'kiss'?" The one who was the most shocked was the Duke Andong’s wife. At the time of the prince's consort selection, there were two young ladies from the Duke Andong Palace among them, but they were sent back in the end. Could it be that the Emperor had changed his mind again? Previously, the empress had said that the Eighth Prince was still young and didn't need to worry! "How did this happen so suddenly?"
