Concubine Chen had always been uneasy. She asked while looking at her makeup in the bronze mirror: "Xinlan, do you think that I'm being frivolous? Why don't I change my clothes? "

As one of Concubine Chen's trusted aides, Xinlan immediately held her down. "It's good that Aunt is like this." In Third Miss's heart, without an aunt, no matter what she wore, it would not be enough to satisfy her. Unfortunately, although she understood this logic, Concubine Chen did not.

Actually, it wasn't that she didn't understand, but that she understood and pretended that she didn't. Perhaps this was the only way to comfort herself. Xinlan didn't feel sad for her master, but a smile still hung on her face.

"Didn't Prime Minister say that Aunt's appearance is the most touching? Prime Minister's words will not be false, Aunt will be at ease. "

Concubine Chen was relieved, but immediately became anxious, "Do you think Xin Mei can invite Chang Xi? I was afraid that First Madame would not release him. "

She was obviously the biological mother of Third Miss, but she could only reply with the name of "Aunt". The biased Third Miss had always been very close to the First Madame, and had always despised him even without paying any attention to him.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Concubine Chen was pitifully weak and had a sliver of her love, the Third Miss would probably not have set foot in this stone garden.

Xin Mei will definitely invite the Third Miss.

As if responding to Xin Lan's words, Concubine Liu's voice came from the courtyard, "Third Miss, are you here to see sister Chen? "So considerate."

Looking at Concubine Liu's face, Chu Changxi felt that it was strange for some reason. Concubine Liu's temperament was like that of a lady, but Chu Changle was unable to do anything about it.

"Where is the Concubine Liu?"

"Old Mistress said that she wanted to prepare the clothes for the young misses to enter the palace. She told me to go and help out, so I wouldn't disturb him." Seeing Concubine Liu's figure curling up, Chu Changxi could not help but clench her teeth. Although Concubine Chen was originally a servant girl in front of Old Mistress, but now, she was not as well-received as the Old Mistress, he was still mud that could not support a wall! She didn't know why she had called him over this time, it was really troublesome.

"Chang Xi, you've lost weight." When Concubine Chen saw that the round face of her only daughter had turned into a pointed chin, she felt her heart ache and tears fell from her eyes.

When Chu Changxi saw that she was crying, she was even more annoyed and snappier. "What are you crying for?

Concubine Chen immediately wiped her tears, and carefully pulled Chu Changxi's hand: "No, no, I'm just happy that Third Miss is willing to come and see me. I'm happy."

Xin Lan and Xin Mei had already tactfully gone out to wait, giving the mother and daughter enough space to speak. The stone garden was not that big, but it had two aunts, Concubine Chen and Concubine Liu. The Prime Minister's house had the First Madame's power and a deep background. These two aunts had always been obedient and had always had their only hope, and the male owner of the house, Chu Siyuan, would come over from time to time to comfort his.

After all, the two concubines had given birth to children for him.

There was no one around, Concubine Chen took out a piece of silk from the chest with three locks on it and presented it in front of Chu Changxi, "This was bestowed to you by Prime Minister on my birthday a while ago. Third Miss is going to the palace for a feast in two days and wearing this Flowing Cloud Satin's clothes, she will definitely be able to do so …"

Before she could finish her words, the brocade in her hands was knocked to the ground, Concubine Chen immediately snatched it away, her face filled with panic, only to see Chu Changxi's face filled with anger, "Who said I was going to the palace!"

Concubine Chen had a puzzled face, and said with a face full of grievance: "Didn't Madame always bring you guys to the palace in the past?" In this regard, the Concubine Chen was always proud. The two concubines in the palace gave birth to young mistresses, and the Third Miss received great care and love. However, no one in the Sixth Miss took her as their son.

So what if the Concubine Liu runs towards the Old Mistress? The one in charge of the mansion had always been the Madam, and the one in her eyes was the best.

"Moreover, you're almost at the age to talk about marriage. This time, entering the palace is perfect as well …"

"Aunt!" If father knows that you have so much to say, who knows how much he would spoil you! "

The voice that came out from the house startled Xin Lan and the others. Both of their gazes landed on Qing Wen, but they saw that Qing Wen was helplessly waving her hands, "It's said that Second Miss has supported Third Miss's lack of children this time around."

Concubine Chen did not believe, or perhaps, did not believe what Chu Changxi said, "How is that possible? First Madame hates clouds so much … First Madame would never allow Chu Qinghuan to enter the palace.

Chu Changxi caught hold of Concubine Chen's words and took a step forward. "Yun? Yun Jingchen? "Just what is her identity? Why is the name taboo in the estate?"

Concubine Chen was stunned upon hearing this. It was a name that could not be mentioned, and it was a name that had been left unspoken in the Prime Minister's Palace for more than ten years. If not for the fact that Sixth Young Master Chu Wenyu had entered the Thousand Shadow House a few days ago, perhaps that place would have been sealed away forever?

"She's only a dead aunt, why would she seal her Thousand Shadow House and be unable to live in this place ever again?"

"How is she an aunt? "She must know …" Suddenly, he realized what she had said. Concubine Chen hurriedly changed her words, "You must not ask about things that you should not ask about, especially in front of your father and wife. Do you understand?"

"What exactly is her identity? Isn't Chu Qinghuan just a Concubinage? "On what basis is she able to enter the palace? I have served my mother for so many years and was replaced by her just like that. I refuse to accept this!" Chu Changxi didn't realize that Concubine Chen had misspoken, and didn't know that she had missed the chance.

However, the moment she thought of the fact that Chu Qinghuan could replace her and enter the palace, not to mention that she was personally given an invitation from the Empress Liu's capable Palace Maid, Aunt An Qian, she fiercely threw the teacup onto the ground. Whatever it was, it was still the Concubinage. But when she came back, he was always one head shorter than her!

Outside the room, Qing Wen, Xin Lan and Xin Mei, who were casually talking, couldn't help but look at each other. Seeing the understanding in each other's eyes, they continued to chat, as if they had long since gotten used to the drama unfolding in the room.

Concubine Chen, on the other hand, looked like she was possessed, her face was filled with bitterness, but she kept shaking her head, "No, please don't …"

Chu Changxi looked at Concubine Chen and muttered to herself for a long time, but still ended up saying the same thing. She was no longer in the mood to ask her about it, and had a plan in her heart.

"Third Miss went to the stone garden to visit Concubine Chen. As for what she said, Third Miss chased everyone out, so I couldn't hear it clearly."

Chu Jinxiu frowned, then asked: "Did the news spread out?"

"Don't worry xiaojie, it is definitely reliable if you enter the painting."

Chu Jinxiu nodded her head upon hearing her words, and took out a silver pimple from her makeup box, "Go to the Zhi Lan courtyard and watch over them."

After entering the painting, she immediately thanked him after receiving the silver and left. Not to mention, Bao Qin held onto Chu Jinxiu's hair with both of her hands and asked softly: "This servant is doing Miss a lily bun, right?"

Chu Jinxiu nodded her head, "No need, it's simpler. I will be going to Old Mistress later."

When she reached the Pear Fragrance Garden, she heard a burst of laughter from inside, "No wonder the Old Mistress specially called Concubine Liu over.

"Fifth Miss is too kind. When she reaches my age, she'll definitely be better than me." The Concubine Liu laughed, causing Chu Jinfu to laugh once again, "If you are not as good as me, then I will have to settle this score with you, Aunt."

Old Mistress was helpless, "Fuer is even more unreasonable, if you do not go in, how can you blame others?"

The inside of the house was filled with laughter, but no one could have imagined that Concubine Liu did not wait for the day Chu Jinfu came to settle the score with her, because by then, her beautiful face would have already turned white like dust.

"Big Sis has come late. Concubine Liu has chosen a few styles, I wonder which one Big Sis would like?"

Chu Jinxiu couldn't help but look at the Concubine Liu. She had heard that the middle clothes that the Old Mistress usually wore were all sewn from Concubine Liu, and they weren't made from some rare or precious material, but were specially made from cotton cloth from the farm. She didn't expect that the clothes that the Old Mistress would wear this time around were actually made from her hands.

Chu Jinxiu had never paid much attention to this Concubine Liu. How much ability could an aunt, who could bring up such a good-for-nothing daughter like Chu Changle, possibly have? However, when she saw the Concubine Liu today, Chu Jinxiu suddenly felt that she seemed to have overlooked something.

"The workmanship of the Concubine Liu is really not bad." Chu Jinxiu laughed faintly, but when she saw the patterns of the clothes, he could not help but be slightly surprised, her eyes suddenly shone a little luster, "This design, is truly ingenious."

Concubine Liu laughed when she heard this, but she was not arrogant or impetuous, "First Miss is too kind, I was lucky that I did not fail my mission."

The Old Mistress was very satisfied with the Concubine Liu's design and instructed: "This matter does not bother you two masters. Since you designed this set of clothes, it is natural that you are very familiar with it. Why don't you go to the sewing room and supervise them and cut these clothes as soon as possible. "If you do well, I will reward you handsomely."

"Yes, this humble concubine will do it right away."

suddenly laughed, "If it wasn't for her identity as a Concubine Liu, people would really think that she came from a noble family."

"Isn't that so? Old Mistress, could it be that Concubine Liu is like the words in the book, the young miss of a Zhu Clan? "My family was unfortunate enough to be sold into the clan …"

"What nonsense is this!" Old Mistress decisively shouted, causing Chu Jinfu to be shocked. When had Old Mistress ever said these harsh words to her? Chu Jinfu stomped her feet in anger and ran out. Chu Jinxiu was slightly anxious, "It's all because of this grandson's insensible nature, to cause such a commotion, I will look for Fifth Sister right now."

Chu Qinghuan did not give chase, and only looked at Old Mistress with a soft sigh, "Fuer is young, there are some things that are unclear, so why would Old Mistress be angry at her?" What Chu Jinfu had said was actually not wrong.

The Concubine Liu was indeed from an extraordinary background. She was a young miss of the Jiangnan Weaving Department, how could she have such a clever mind?

Hearing that, Old Mistress was shocked, she looked at Chu Qinghuan in shock, "Girl, you know?"
