At the sight of Princess Consort Sui coming, the Old Lady of the Marquis Residence immediately welcomed her, lead Princess Consort Sui to the main seat with a smile, and introduced her to Old Princess Consort Chu and the Mayor of Huaisang County.
Prince Sui has been married for many years, but his Princess Consort does not often appear in front of others.
Prince Sui kept a low profile for many years. He was ready to practice and became a Buddhist monk. As his Princess Consort, she was not easy to make public appearances and always attend dinner parties.
It was not easy for Prince Sui to keep filial piety and return to the secular world. Thus, Princess Consort Sui can now walk around at the right time.
However, this time she came here, there were also some unspeakable hidden parts. Zhao Quan is famous for his medical skills. Although Princess Consort Sui has one son, she still wants to have more children. However, the doctor diagnosed that she has a cold body. In addition, when she was giving birth to her last baby, her body was damaged. So she wanted to find Zhao Quan to diagnose her pulse and give a good prescription.
She used to have a very good personal relationship with the Old Lady of the Maquis Residence, so she took the opportunity to attend the tea party to visit the Marquis’s residence. It’s just right that she can ask for a pulse without making it public and take a prescription to recuperate herself.
Although Princess Consort Sui didn’t go out to socialize for a long time, she was also a lady from a large family after all. Seeing Old Princess Consort Chu and the Mayor of Huaisang County, she smiled and nodded and greeted each other.
Liu Miantang has a lot of opinions about Prince Sui. For her, Prince Sui is a hungry wolf who eats people without showing his teeth. So when she meets Princess Consort Sui suddenly, she naturally feels a little inappropriate.
However, this Princess Consort Sui looks very kind, like a charming orchid in the wind. She speaks in a soft voice and looks thin. She doesn’t have a blessed appearance.
It is said that although Prince Sui doesn’t seem to have many noble concubines, there are many concubines in the Residence. This one seems to be indifferent. After all, Liu Miantang knew about Prince Sui’s tiger-wolf temperament. This slim Princess Consort could not help such a flirtatious man.
Miantang didn’t look at her more than she did at herself. She should be more ignorant of her relationship with Prince Sui.
She can’t help remembering that when Prince Sui sent the matchmaker to propose marriage to the Lu Mansion, he once said that the Princess Consort was virtuous and gentle, and could tolerate others. Now it seems that it is not exaggerating, and she is indeed gentle and soft.
During their leisure time, the Old Lady of the Marquis Residence naturally asked about the wellbeing of Prince Sui.
Princess Consort Sui smiled and said, “The new Emperor has just ascended the throne. He has summoned Prince Sui to work in the Capital. Soon, our whole family will have to go to the Capital. It’s a long way away. I don’t know if my body and bones can support the journey…”
When the Old Lady of the Marquis Residence heard this, she naturally congratulated Prince Sui on his prosperity and favor. She could go to the capital to work for the Emperor.
Perhaps she was grateful to Zhao Quan for checking her pulse. Princess Consort Sui mentioned that one of her nieces was similar to Zhao Quan in appearance, and her father was a Prefect of the State of Yuan. She was clean and promising.
The Old Lady of the Marquis Residence felt that this Lady was very reliable. Her eyes lit up and she began to talk more enthusiastically.
Lian-Chu heard clearly and her face became more and more black.
Although her daughter has many Princes and noble’s cousins, she didn’t catch any!
Lian-Chu was both ashamed and angry. She didn’t know who to be angry with at the moment, but she thought the party was getting boring. In the end, Lian-Chu took her daughter Lian Binglan and left first, with the excuse of having a headache.
Lian Binglan naturally knew that her marriage with another cousin was hopeless, and she was at a loss. Her age is too old. If she were to talk about other marriages now, there is little choice. If this continues, she might have to become the stepmother of others.
At this point, what she most regretted was that she had listened to her mother’s encouragement and delayed her marriage to Prince Huaiyang. Otherwise, she is now also an upright Princess Consort, chatting comfortably at the tea party. She doesn’t know where the future lies…
But now it’s too late to think about anything. When Lian Binglan followed her mother out of the door, she ran into another girl with a small servant girl.
Lian-Chu was very angry and walked quickly. But Lian Binglan stopped slightly and looked up at the lady opposite.
“Lady Lian, I haven’t seen you for a long time, I’m surprised to meet you here…” The lady looked at Lian Binglan and immediately bowed and greeted her.
Lian Binglan stared at the young lady. She couldn’t help looking at her. It was the Concubine she was going to choose for her cousin, the third Lady He from Lingquan Town!
She thought that her cousin liked the third Lady He, so she went out of her way to be kind to her and fulfilled her wish for him. But Cui Xingzhou warned Lian Binglan about it. Lian Binglan thought that her attitude toward He Zhen was poor, and she complained thus, she broke up with her. Unexpectedly, she met her here again.
However, whoever Cui Xingzhou has a crush on now, it’s not up to Lian Binglan to worry about, so she nodded to the third Lady He coldly and then prepared to leave.
Lady He went to the Marquis Residence to deliver some special porcelain bowls today.
This is also the way the He Family works. Every time there is a banquet in this kind of Princes’ and noble’s houses, the steward who has made friends with them will notify the He Family and send someone to walk around the outer courtyard door by the identity of the porcelain giver. If the Master is willing to see, they can also draw some more distinguished people as customers by the time of the porcelain offering, so that the He Family’s reputation will be more famous.
Today’s tea party is full of distinguished people, so Lady He came out to offer a set of China tea set. Today, only such a thin and bright set of tea set was fired on the kiln, and it was bought at a high price by the old lady of the Marquis residence, who loves tea.
The Old Lady of the Marquis Residence also wanted to show her new purchase, so she asked Lady He to come to the front hall and offer the tea sets in person.
Unexpectedly, she ran into Lian Binglan at the entrance of the courtyard.
Now Lady He feels that she and Lady Lian are the same losers. They both miss Prince Huaiyang and have no chance to spend this life together. So she doesn’t care whether Lian Binglan’s attitude was being cold.
However, when she was about to walk in, she caught sight of Liu Miantang sitting next to the Old Princess Consort through the window lattice of the courtyard wall. She couldn’t help saying, “Eh… Why is Madam Cui here?”
Lian Binglan did not know what was going on, but stopped again and asked casually, “Madam Cui? Which Madam Cui?”
When Lady He San sees Liu Miantang here, she only feels that she has encountered competition from her peers. She thought that the Jade Porcelain Shop had followed the He Family’s example and came here to flatter and exchange for some rich and experienced guests.
Although she is close to Liu Miantang, she also knows her means. She can’t help but feel anxious, so she wanted to ask Lady Lian who just came out of the garden, “The one sitting next to the Old Princess Consort is Madam Cui of the Jade Porcelain Shop. I don’t know what porcelain she presented today…”
Lian Binglan understood immediately at this time, and only slowly asked, “Jade Porcelain Shop? You mean Madam Cui from Lingquan Town North Street?”
When she saw Lian Binglan saying so firmly, Lady He became more and more convinced that Liu Miantang was coming to steal business, so she hurriedly admitted, “Yes! She lives in North Street!”
“Then… What’s her husband’s name?”
“It seems that he is the Ninth Master of his family, and he is called the Ninth Master Cui…”
Lian Binglan’s body swayed slightly, and suddenly turned to look through the hollow hole in the courtyard wall and stared at the woman who happened to be smiling.
I see… That’s who she was!
She wondered how a Huaisang County Mayor suddenly emerged out of nowhere. It turned out that it was the mistress of the North Street that turned into a legit one. The fox spirit became a legit Princess Consort in a dignified way!
Her cousin broke the engagement on the pretext that he was ambivalent, which made her a laughing stock! But it was he who had been wanting to fly together with the mistress. He was obsessed with sex, regardless of her ethics, and had a mind to help her!
She is the daughter of a noble official. She always follows the rules and devotes herself to serving the Old Princess Consort. She doesn’t dare to say anything against her. In the end, she is no better than a sycophant whose father is a criminal and whose behavior is dissolute!
Thinking of this, Lian Binglan has suffered a lot in the past few days, and only concentrated all her sufferings on the beautiful woman.
Seeing Lian Binglan’s eyes that suddenly turn red and burst into tears, Lady He was also puzzled and asked her what was wrong.
Lian Binglan slowly turned her head and said, “I remember you said that you had a close friend, was it Madam Cui?”
Lady He San nodded slowly. The meeting she had with Lady Lian was really to find a topic and talk about what Madam Cui can do.
Lian Binglan smiled and only wiped the tears from her eyes. She leaned over to He Zhen’s ear and asked, “Do you know that the man of your close friend who she sleeps with every day, is Prince Huaiyang, Cui Jiu you miss so much?”
After saying that, she didn’t care what He Zhen’s reaction was, but suddenly turned around and quickly chased her mother who had already walked ahead.
Lian Binglan thinks that what is better than her mother is that she will never make a fool of herself. She knew that He Zhen was infatuated. If she knew that her bosom friend slept with Prince Huaiyang, she would be fried.
As long as she points out in public that Liu Miantang has been the Mistress of Prince Huaiyang, both the inner and outer face of the Huaiyang Residence will be lost!
Unfortunately, if it wasn’t for the sake of avoiding suspicion, she would like to stay and watch this wonderful show…
After hearing Lian Binglan’s whispers, He Zhen just stood in the same place and looked at Liu Miantang through the hole in the wall in disbelief. With all her beautiful clothes and pearls, how can it be that she’s here for business? As if she were a lady, she snuggled up beside the Old Princess Consort and smiled happily
The steward who had been standing at the gate of the garden was impatient and asked her, “Lady He, hurry up. Don’t let the Old Lady of the Marquis Residence wait!”
He Zhen moved slowly, followed the steward into the garden, and came to the group of smiling ladies.
Liu Miantang also turned her head at this time and saw Lady He San looking straight at her with red eyes.
In fact, after returning to Lingquan Town, Liu Miantang wanted to have a good chat with Lady He. She has always been a conscientious worker, but she was deceived by a male liar and became a mistress for no reason…
Others are all right to say, but He Zhen is infatuated with Cui Xingzhou. Liu Miantang is now having a headache, she doesn’t know how to explain it to avoid hurting others.
To her surprise, she met Lady He unexpectedly in today’s scenes.
And she seems to have known about her identity…
Liu Miantang knows Lady He’s temper. She is usually a capable person, but she is emotional when it comes to relationships. If there is an uproar at the tea party, even the He family will be implicated while the Prince’s Residence will lose its face.
