Chapter 360 You Deserve This Glass of Wine
Yu Xiuying was suddenly called by name, and she fell to her knees. It was obvious that she was too excited: "I am just a vulgar woman, how can I know how to teach a child? It was Shi'an who figured it out herself."
"You come to your senses on your own?"
The Queen Mother looked at Lu Shian with interest: "Well, I believe it. This girl is sometimes too smart."
"You, Queen Mother, always make fun of me. What do you mean by being too smart? It's because you, Queen Mother, like to spoil me."
"Yes, yes, yes, how can I not spoil such a good girl?"
"What is it that makes you so happy, mother? I heard your laughter from afar."
As soon as the Imperial Concubine appeared, everyone in the room knelt down to greet her.
The Imperial Concubine was not in a hurry to ask everyone to stand up. She quickly came to the Empress Dowager, performed her great salute, and then asked everyone to stand up.
"So it's Shi'an, no wonder the Queen Mother is so happy."
"Shi'an, you should come to the palace more often in the future. The Queen Mother is so happy every time you come."
Lu Shian bowed to the Imperial Concubine and said, "I obey the Imperial Concubine's order."
Yu Xiuying originally thought that others would look down on her as a servant woman, but she did not expect that the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Noble Consort were so fond of Lu Shian that they would pull her aside to talk and joke with her.
When the other ladies saw this, they were very warm to Yu Xiuying.
He was so affectionate with Yu Xiuying.
"Madam, please tell us how you teach your children. Miss Shi'an is really excellent. No wonder the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine like her."
Yu Xiuying: …
"Madam, your hairdo is really pretty, Miss Shi'an."
"My daughter made this for me. I really don't understand it."
"Madam, your skin is so good. What kind of facial oil do you use? We also want to be as young as you."
"My daughter made it for me."
"I heard that Miss Shi'an built a house and said that we can eat vegetables in winter, but is it true?"
"That's true. There's always a fire in that house. As long as the temperature of the fire is controlled well, summer vegetables can be grown in the house."
Now it was everyone's turn to be silent.
Finally, a lady took over the conversation: "Miss Shi'an is really smart."
Unfortunately, they really had nothing in common, so after chatting for a while, they went their separate ways. After waiting for a while, the eldest princess arrived, and everyone took their seats.
The ladies in the room sat down in order according to their status.
The mother and daughter followed the palace maid's guidance and sat down in their seats. Only then did they realize that the person sitting next to them was the wife of Marquis Yongkang.
The wife of Marquis Yongkang had an extremely ugly expression on her face. She knew that the mother and daughter were going to enter the palace. She was unwilling to acknowledge that a woman like Yu Xiuying was her daughter-in-law, so she entered the palace early.
When she saw the figures of the mother and daughter, she was afraid that others would know that Yu Xiuying was her daughter-in-law, so she ran to the corner.
Who would have thought that the Queen Mother would call the two of them over and let the mother and daughter steal the spotlight.
Everyone looked at her with teasing eyes from time to time, but she pretended not to see them.
She was also a person who cared about her reputation. Even though she was furious, she still held her neck high and refused to bow her head.
What a joke! She is the mother-in-law, the grandmother, and the mistress of the Marquis's mansion. Does she have to take the initiative to greet the younger generation?
Seeing that Yu Xiuying and her daughter had finally noticed her, she snorted coldly, "You don't know the rules at all. It's fine if you're in the mansion, but now you're being so unruly outside. You're really making a fool of yourself."
Lu Shian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She turned her head and looked at the wife of Marquis Yongkang with amusement.
"Why don't you speak louder so that everyone can judge who sneaked into the palace so early in the morning? Don't think I didn't see it. When you saw me and mother coming, you shrank into the crowd."
"you……"
The wife of Marquis Yongkang discovered that someone was indeed looking in this direction.
She took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart.
Su Qianqian sat closest to the empress dowager. She glanced at everyone and smiled at Lu Shian.
Lu Shian also responded to her with a fake smile, then looked straight ahead and no longer looked at Su Qianqian.
The banquet was very boring. The palace maids danced one dance after another, interspersed with various auspicious words.
However, the palace dishes are still very good. She had always cooked for the Queen Mother when she came here before. This was her first time tasting palace dishes.
Yu Xiuying was always reserved for fear of doing something against the rules. Even when she was toasting, she only took a sip.
During the dinner, the Imperial Concubine pulled Qin Jingzhi aside and praised him. Qin Jingzhi lived up to his name and was used to big occasions, so he handled the situation flawlessly.
The banquet was almost over, so the Queen Mother stood up and left. After she left, the people at the banquet were no longer so resistant.
The eldest princess and the imperial concubine sat together, whispering something, and they were laughing as they talked. It was obvious that they had a very good relationship, but of course maybe it was only on the surface.
Su Qianqian came to Lu Shian with her wine.
"Won't you drink with me?"
Lu Shian sneered: "Princess Qianqian is joking. I am just an ordinary person on the platform. How can I drink with Princess Qianqian?"
"You never know. Who knows if you will soar to the sky?"
"what."
Soaring into the sky, do you think I'm a firecracker?
Su Qianqian didn't care at all about Lu Shian treating her like this. She raised her glass first: "Don't belittle yourself. This glass of wine is for you."
After that, she drank it all in one gulp: "Oh, by the way, you deserve this one."
Lu Shian was annoyed with her. This woman was very fake. Although she smiled every time she saw him, she knew in her heart that this woman regarded her as a love rival.
She always thought she was superior, but in fact she was nothing to Lu Shian.
"The princess is such a joker!"
"How do you know I'm joking?"
After saying this, she chuckled again: "Yes, you still don't know anything now!"
"But you'll find out soon enough!"
After saying this, Su Qianqian turned around and went back to her seat!
Yu Xiuying frowned: "Is Shi'an saying something else?"
Lu Shian frowned and stared at Su Qianqian!
What does this woman mean by those words?
Can't you just say what you want to say? Why do you have to hide it and make yourself look cultured?
Isn't it just that he got closer to Shen Cuo?
What's so great!
Humph, Shen Cuo is the one I don’t want, so he went to find you, okay!
Lu Shian poured herself a few drinks, and Yu Xiuying quickly stopped her!
"Don't drink anymore, be careful not to get drunk and lose control!"
Lu Shian pouted: "Humph, if you don't want to drink, then don't drink. I'll drink it myself later!"
Yu Xiuying tugged at Lu Shian's sleeve and said, "Girl, be more restrained. There are noble people here!"
Maybe one of the ladies will take a fancy to her daughter, so her daughter won’t have to find a live-in son-in-law!
After all, Yu Xiuying grew up in this era, and deep down she still hopes that her daughter can marry into a good family!
Especially the eldest daughter is still in the same situation!
