"She …" Chu Jinfu had a strange expression on her face as she pointed to the carriage in front, "It is said that when we were evaluating the three beauties of the capital, there were people who wanted to include Nangong Yuyan and Madame Jinguo's beloved daughter, Xue Jinlian. It was just that they left it alone later on, I heard that Big Sis was extremely angry at that time, and did not eat for a few days."

Chu Qinghuan laughed, does that mean that even compared to the First Beauty in Capital, Xue Jinlian was not inferior in any way? However, when she thought back to what happened that year, Chu Qinghuan couldn't remember. Even though she and Xue Jinlian had met several times, in the end, they weren't friends.

"Is that so? Then maybe we really will have to watch a good show. " Even if Xue Jinlian had the intention to dodge, wouldn't it be difficult for him to suppress her anger from all those years ago?

Chu Jinxiu in front of others was a goddess that had descended to the mortal realm, but in front of others, she was narrow-minded and petty.

No matter what, Nangong Yuyan was still their cousin, but she didn't have any relation to them at all. However, she was really curious. In her previous life, after she died, Chu Jinxiu was the Empress, so what did she do to Huangfu Wushuang?

When the carriage returned to the residence, First Madame was already looking forward to it. When she saw her beloved daughter was extremely haggard, her expression immediately changed to one of anger, and she immediately asked for warmth. "Why, but was Bao Qin serving you inconsiderately, why is she so haggard? I already told you not to go, but I told you to serve Old Mistress and look at yourself. "

First Madame's words sounded like she was pampering her eldest daughter, but there was also a suspicion that she was complaining about it. Old Mistress's expression did not change, she only snorted coldly and slowly walked back to rest with Nanny Lin supporting him.

Chu Jinxiu never thought that his mother would be so reckless, she grumbled in her heart, "Mother, what nonsense are you saying, it is your daughter's fortune to have a daughter who can share her worries for the Prince. Old Mistress, I have been waiting for you to go back and rest. "

Old Mistress laughed, and said with an amiable expression: "No need, you have worked so hard to serve me, this old granny, won't you let me off when I am tired? Fuer, Second Miss, you should all go back and rest, there is no need to pay respects to me in the next few days. "

Old Mistress had never cared about the affairs of the manor all these years, leaving all kinds of matters for her to handle. But she absolutely did not expect that the First Madame, who had always been steady and generous, would actually kill her so completely.

In the end, he couldn't take it anymore, but … Old Mistress sighed, wasn't that what you asked for?

Right now, this "no need to pay respects" was clearly an insult to the First Madame, but if one were to consider her face now, even the hundred years of history behind the Chu Family would be ruined by her!

First Madame's face immediately changed, she did not know what happened. But if Chu Qinghuan didn't need to pay respects to the Old Mistress, what need was there to pay respects to him?

Didn't I establish this rule, wouldn't it be destroyed by Old Mistress's words?

"Old Mistress, this …"

The Old Mistress ignored her and said to the Nanny Lin, "What else do you want? I'm tired. "

All these years, the First Madame had been busy with all sorts of matters in the palace. Having children born and raised, but getting such cold looks from the Old Mistress, he was immediately stunned.

Chu Jinfu only sneered as she looked at her, "Mother, your daughter is tired. She should go home and rest."

Chu Qinghuan bowed slightly, and then left, but Chu Changxi and Chu Changle stood there, not daring to move. The two of them were not included in the Old Mistress's' pardon order '. First Madame had built up her prestige all year round, so how could they dare to go against her?

Looking at Chu Changxi's skinny face and her timid look, First Madame felt even more frustrated, "Why aren't you still not going back to rest? What are you standing here for? "

Chu Changxi still wanted to say something, but she was quickly pulled away by Chu Changle.

Seeing the gloomy expression on First Madame's face, she could not help but say angrily: "Mother, if you have a temper, then you would be angry at the servant girl in private, how can you disobey Old Mistress in public?"

was the prime minister who was head of a hundred officials, and he paid more attention to his reputation, "If today's matter were to spread to father's ears, how would you make father view you?"

First Madame did not expect his beloved daughter to have such a temper towards him. Hearing that, she immediately sneered, "Your father, do you think he …"

Chu Jinxiu frowned as she looked at the First Madame who was halfway through their conversation. She couldn't help but ask, "Mother, what do you think happened to father?"

First Madame took a sip of tea and used the time to calm her anger, "Nothing much, just what happened on this mountain? "I've sent people up the mountain to scout a few times, but I've never gotten any news. Why haven't you sent some news over?"

Chu Jinxiu laughed bitterly upon hearing this, she was being supervised by the Imperial Guards people to copy the scriptures, her wrist was sore and swollen, so much that when she returned to her room and got onto her bed, she wanted to fall asleep, who would have the strength to pass on the message?

"I've also sent someone to investigate the Grand Historic Prefecture, but I was just about to go to the palace to seek help from your aunt. What's going on?"

Seeing that First Madame was worried and tired for him, Chu Jinxiu laughed bitterly: "It's the 8000 year old that sealed off the news, does mother think that our daughter wants to stay on the mountain? "Oh right, what happened in the capital this time?"

Emperor Xuanwu had actually sent three groups of people to request for the eight thousand year old to return to the palace. Even if it was Chu Jinxiu who had heard the rumors, she immediately started to pay attention to the news in the capital.

"Eight thousand years old, how did he get involved? Oh, Madame Jinguo is back. The Emperor is going to introduce her at eight thousand years of age. "

"Didn't she not come to the capital?" Chu Jinxiu frowned, her expression revealing her depression. "Could it be that the Emperor is going to betroth Xue Jinlian to her, that he is going to introduce her to him at eight thousand years old?"

Chu Jinxiu's expression suddenly changed. Seeing that, the First Madame was slightly dissatisfied with her beloved daughter for being so impatient. She laughed coldly: "She is only a merchant's daughter, so what if she has a favor? Eight thousand years old, eight thousand years old. I will never be able to achieve ten thousand years old. In the future, I will kowtow to you and pay my respects. "

The corner of Chu Jinxiu's mouth moved when she heard this, but she immediately remembered what happened within the Lingyin Temple. With caution, she said, "Mother, be careful. When she thought about the hidden guards of the Imperial Guards that were so elusive that they disappeared without a trace, Chu Jinxiu felt a little bit of fear.

The First Madame did not mind and pulled Chu Jinxiu's hand: "Even though this time it was Empress Liu who presided over the welcoming ceremony for the Madame Jinguo, who in the capital could take away your limelight? Besides, your aunt will help you. "

Chu Jinxiu heard and nodded her head, "My daughter understands. Mother, the Third Sister did not manage to get rid of Chu Qinghuan that little girl, it is all because of her great fortune. However, this palace banquet might be a chance."

There were nobles everywhere in the palace. If this girl didn't have eyes for anyone, then even a Nine-tailed Fox wouldn't be able to protect its cheap life!

"Whether that girl accepts the invitation or not is another story. However …" First Madame suddenly laughed, thinking back to what happened just now with a sly look, "Chang Xi, that girl must have suffered a lot in the past few days, right?"

Chu Jinxiu seemed to have thought of something and smiled faintly, "That's right, if I'm unable to enter the palace, Third Sister would truly be wronged."

On the second day after Chu Qinghuan and the rest returned to the manor, all the various servant girls gathered in one place and whispered to each other. They were all discussing about the upcoming palace banquet.

"Have you heard? Second Miss received an invitation from the palace. It was said that Aunt An Qian, who is by the empress's side, had personally sent it. "

"That's right, I heard that this time only three misses are going to the palace, weren't they always from Third Miss? I never thought that it would be Second Miss, it's all Concubinage, the one who has gained the Old Mistress's heart is definitely different. "

"That's not it... Three, Third Miss! " Seeing the person who had suddenly appeared, the servant girl who had spoken immediately knelt to the ground, her entire body shivering, afraid that she would be punished by the Third Miss.

Looking at the servant girl who had suddenly turned pale, Chu Changxi's face darkened, "Who told you this?"

"Yes, it was said by the little maidservant of the Zilan Institution. It's said that Old Mistress even specially gave Second Miss a brocade robe to make clothes …"

"Enough!" Chu Qinghuan interrupted the servant girl. Chu Qinghuan, you are forcing me so step by step, if I, Chu Changxi am afraid of you, won't I be stepped on by you?

"Miss, perhaps this little girl is just spouting nonsense. Madam loves Miss the most, so how could she not have Miss's invitation? "Why don't we go …"

"No need, let's go to the Zilan Academy!" The eight thousand years of age within the Lingyin Temple had tortured him hundreds of times, and she had no way to resist. But this was the Prime Minister's residence, and the was the one in the backyard.

Qing Wen followed behind Chu Changxi, and just as she was about to head towards the direction of the Zilan Academy, she was blocked by someone, "This servant greets Third Miss."

Chu Changxi stopped in her tracks, her eyes filled with impatience as she asked, "Why did Aunt send you here?"

The person who came was someone from Concubine Chen's garden. Xin Mei saw that Third Miss's temperament was not very good and smiled apologetically: "Aunt prepared some gifts for Third Miss."

Wasn't it just reminding him to not forget her biological mother? Chu Changxi laughed coldly, "Then send it to my courtyard, and help me thank the Concubine Chen for her concern, so that she can be at ease under the care of the Madam, I am doing very well."

Seeing that Chu Changxi was about to leave, she ignored him and grabbed her sleeve, begging her, "Third Miss, this aunt really misses Third Miss a lot. Third Miss, are you going to take a look at Concubine Chen?" Xin Mei was very clear that she could not invite them to the Third Miss right now.

Anyway, there was no difference between getting beaten up at the Third Miss and getting beaten up at the Concubine Chen's place. Furthermore, there were so many people in the garden, even if the Third Miss was beating someone up, it shouldn't be too fierce right? Xin Mei made up her mind, she grabbed onto Chu Changxi's sleeves without letting go!

"Let go!" Chu Changxi started to resent Concubine Chen more and more. Not to mention that she was weak, even the maidservants in the courtyard did not have any rules. It was time she told her. Thinking about it, Chu Qinghuan squinted her eyes, "If you don't let go, then how am I supposed to go see the aunt?"

After Xin Mei heard this, he was overjoyed. She immediately let go of her hands, "This servant has acted arrogantly, I hope Third Miss will forgive me."
