Sheng Peiyin actually came to look for her! Shen Ziqiao really felt that the heroine's psychology was very strong.
When she was in the East Palace, Sheng Peiyin looked at her with eyes that almost tore her apart, but today she can still appear in front of the Shen family's gate with a smile on her face, it's the first time that Shen Ziqiao feels that she has to admire this woman.
"Sister Sheng." Since Sheng Peiyin could act as if nothing happened, Shen Ziqiao felt that she could too, and with a sweet smile on her face, she greeted Sheng Peiyin.
"Jiaojiao." A look of disgust flashed deep in Sheng Peiyin's eyes, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became more gentle and friendly, "I have to work hard for you today."
Shen Ziqiao said with a smile, "If you can come and give our old lady a face, I am grateful, and you will find it hard."
Everyone can say what is said in the scene, it just depends on whether the words can be said or not.
There are many people who came to celebrate the birthday today, all of them are the wives of officials who are either rich or noble in the capital, Mrs. Shen feels that she has never been so proud.
Although she is the old lady of the Shen family, those noble ladies in the capital look down on her natal family, so they seldom interact with her on weekdays, and even talk about her pettiness behind her back, which makes her unable to participate in big scenes. What makes her most angry Yes, when Pan Shi was alive, those wives had close contacts with her, and they didn't mind Pan's merchant's daughter's background at all.
This kind of differential treatment made Mrs. Shen reluctant to go out to socialize for a long time.
But now it is different, Mrs. Pan is no longer around, Shen Xiao is a famous general, these ignorant women finally have eyes, and know who they want to flatter.
The Zhou family brought Shen Zixin around, wishing everyone would know that she has a beautiful, virtuous daughter who is different from a notorious person.
Many people in the Shen family thought that Shen Ziqiao would lose face today, because Mrs. Shen and the Zhou family would not give her face.
However. Some winds in this world cannot always blow in the same direction.
Most of the people who came to congratulate Mrs. Shen today were posted by Shen Ziqiao herself. They came for Shen Ziqiao's face, not Mrs. Shen.
When Mrs. Shen heard those flattering words at the beginning, she was feeling smug when she heard everyone talking about Shen Ziqiao, "...Miss Shen San is a real person who doesn't show her face. Cute, I think he is a very smart person, I want to see you today."
"Speaking of it, I've only heard that Miss San is a righteous person, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes."
"There are always some people who don't see the good of others, and say that Miss Shen San is illiterate. How can illiterates save the little grandson?"
"Isn't that..."
Sitting next to Mrs. Shen, Princess Nihong held tea and listened to everyone's words with satisfaction. The faces of Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Zhou had already turned green with anger.
"Old madam, old madam, someone is coming from the palace." Just then. Mother Li ran in in surprise, shouting in a loud voice deliberately.
Mrs. Shen hurriedly sat up straight, "Is there someone from the palace?"
Mother Li smiled and said, "It's the Empress and the Crown Princess who sent people to celebrate your birthday."
After hearing this, the people in the hall all looked at Mrs. Shen enviously.
Someone suddenly said, "The third lady of the Shen family is really blessed. After only entering the palace once, both the empress and the crown prince feel pain in their hearts, even the old lady's birthday. The empress empress and the crown prince have sent people to celebrate their birthdays. Who in the entire capital can have such an honor."
Before Mrs. Shen had time to show a smug smile, she swallowed in her throat when she heard the words clearly spread throughout the hall. I almost lost my temper.
It's because of that bitch again!
Dare to feel that her beauty and face today are only that girl? All of them are short-sighted, just relying on that girl's virtue. Could it really make the queen and princess like it
It's not for the Shen family's sake!
At the same time, Sheng Peiyin was also feeling blocked.
She never dreamed that Shen Ziqiao in this life would get the queen's favor, let alone that the little grandson would be saved. She remembered that the little grandson in the previous life would not live long.
Could it be that because of her rebirth, even Shen Ziqiao has been changed unknowingly
Will fate still develop according to the trajectory of the previous life? If she remembered correctly, father and Shen Ziqiao were about to start hostilities.
She would never let Shen Xiao have the opportunity to frame the Sheng family.
But Shen Ziqiao is in the limelight now, even if it is impossible to hit her to hit Shen Xiao, what should I do
Jiaojiao, don't blame me for being cruel, for the sake of dozens of people in my Sheng family, I had to act first.
Sheng Peiyin watched Shen Ziqiao walk in, a look of sternness flashed in her eyes.
Shen Ziqiao came in with two female officials from the palace.
"He Shanggong, Ning Shanggong." Mrs. Shen suppressed her displeasure. He Shanggong is a celebrity in front of the empress, and Ning Shanggong is a young woman who is the concubine's confidant. Neither of them can be taken lightly. Offended.
"Mrs. Shen, we are following the queen's order to bring you longevity peaches. The old lady is respectful, thrifty, gentle, and IKEA is blessed. She is benevolent and generous, and she is blessed with a life insurance year... Congratulations on your blessings like the East China Sea, and your longevity than Nanshan." Shang Gong said a lot of compliments to the old lady in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, and made the old lady Shen who was not in a very cheerful mood feel elated.
"Thank you, Empress, for your reward." Mrs. Shen hurriedly stood up and bowed in the direction of the palace, with a smile on her face like a blooming chrysanthemum.
Ningshang Palace blessed the body, "Mrs. Shen, the Crown Princess ordered her servants to send you a rosary of eighteen sons of sandalwood from the South China Sea. I wish you prosperity, prosperity, and longevity."
Mrs. Shen once again thanked the Crown Princess, and hurriedly asked for two more Grand Master chairs, and invited the two Shanggongs to sit down.
Sheng Peiyin lowered her eyebrows and listened, and walked up to He Shanggong with a gentle and obedient appearance.
When He Shanggong saw the proud apprentice, a smile appeared in his eyes.
Shen Ziqiao, who was about to walk to Ningshang Palace, saw her, so she had no choice but to stop, and stood in the corner by the door to continue watching Mrs. Shen accept the compliments from everyone.
Seeing that everyone in the hall became more and more happy as they talked, Shen Ziqiao quietly withdrew. She still had to check the preparations for the banquet.
What she did today was all thankless things, no matter how much she put her heart into preparing the old woman's birthday banquet, she just took it for granted and would not understand her hard work.
"Jiaojiao." Shen Zixin followed out without knowing why, and caught up with Shen Ziqiao in small steps, "I'll help you with the banquet, I see you are sweating profusely."
"As expected of a good sister!" Shen Ziqiao hugged her shoulders movedly. Fortunately, Shen Zixin was different from her top-notch mother, otherwise her life would have been even more difficult.
Shen Zixin is different from Shen Ziwen and the others. Shen Ziwen and the others don't like her, but they don't dare to oppose her openly, because they are born of concubines, and the distinction between concubine and concubine is quite different here.
Soon it was noon, the banquet began, and Shen Ziqiao was finally able to catch her breath.
He Shanggong has already returned to the palace, and Ning Shanggong stayed, which is considered to have given Mrs. Shen enough face, Shen Ziqiao searched for a while before finding her.
"Ning Shanggong." She walked over with a smile on her face. During those few days in the East Palace, Shen Ziqiao was already familiar with many court ladies, especially Ning Shanggong in front of her.
Ning Shanggong's name is Ning Xi. She is only in her twenties this year. She is the concubine's confidant. When Shen Ziqiao was so tired that she could not stand up for the little emperor's grandson's fever, it was Ning Xi who helped her guard the little emperor's grandson and let Shen Ziqiao Have time to close your eyes and rest for a while.
"Have you been too busy today?" Ning Shanggong said with a smile, because the little emperor's grandson survived the difficult time safely, everyone in the East Palace is very grateful to Shen Ziqiao, especially this little girl will not be arrogant at all, and saved the little emperor. Empress Sun, not only did not ask for credit, but also pushed all the credit to the people next to her, as if she was the one who did it.
Shen Ziqiao nodded vigorously, "I'm as tired as a dog."
Ning Xi chuckled, she was such a little girl, "Xiao Yu asked me to bring you this, saying that it was promised to you last time."
It was an apricot-yellow sachet embroidered with plum blossoms and branches. The embroidery was top-notch, and the sachet was exquisite and cute. Shen Ziqiao was so fond of it that she smiled, "Thank you Xiaoyu for helping me."
Xiao Yu is the maid next to the Crown Princess, and the best embroiderer in the entire Eastern Palace, she promised to embroider a sachet for Shen Ziqiao.
Ning Xi smiled and shook her head, "She told you to learn embroidery skills, otherwise what will happen when you get married in the future."
"It's a small idea. When the time comes, I will go to the palace and ask the princess to give me Xiaoyu." Shen Ziqiao said with a smile.
"You lazy bastard!" Ning Xi scolded angrily.
Shen Ziqiao put the sachet into her arms like a treasure. She didn't expect to make friends in the East Palace, but Ning Xi and Xiao Yu... she was very impressed.
After the concubine died of illness, the two were quickly pulled down by Sheng Peiyin. If it weren't for the presence of the queen, they would have been silenced. Later, I don't know how Ning Xi did it, and became the number one by Beitang Zhenjing's side. Shang Gong.
Good people shouldn't be killed, Shen Ziqiao didn't want Ning Xi and Xiao Yu to be framed by Sheng Peiyin.
The banquet ended in excitement, and then went to the stage to watch a play. Shen Ziqiao looked at Chen Xueling who had been by the old lady's side all the time, and found that although Chen Xueling intended to get closer to the old lady, the old lady seemed not very enthusiastic.
He rarely talked to Chen Xueling, and didn't even look at her.
Oh, you think Chen Xueling looks too much like Mrs. Pan, so you don't want to see her
It's really fun, and I want to find an obedient daughter-in-law, but I don't want to see Chen Xueling who looks like Mrs. Pan, how tangled the old lady's mood must be.
After listening to several plays in a row, the guests bid farewell and left one after another.
Shen Ziqiao thought to herself, she could finally have a good sleep and rest.
However, before she fell asleep for a long time, she was woken up by Hongying, "Miss San, get up quickly, there is a commotion at the old lady's side."
"Who's making trouble?" It's not normal for the old woman to stop making trouble someday.
"With the elder...and Miss Chen." Hongying said in a low voice, and she had already brought water to wash Shen Ziqiao's face.
As soon as Shen Ziqiao heard that it was related to Shen Xiao, she immediately woke up and sat up straight, "What? What are you doing with my father?"
"I heard that the old man was forced to marry Miss Chen..."
