Wu Lixiang shook her head in disappointment and sighed, ah~ Sure enough, no matter what they did, Wu Liuyun's status could not be shaken~ Everything was destined for them because of their bloodline, so they had no choice since they were born.
She originally hoped that Wu Sheyue could dampen Wu Liuyun's energy and give some of them a chance to vent their anger...
When Wu Liuyun passed by Wu Sheyue, she glanced at Wu Sheyue proudly. The provocation and ridicule in her eyes were very obvious, as if she was declaring her unshakable identity.
But in Wu Sheyue's eyes, all this was just astonishment and ridicule. Gee, could it be that Wu Liuyun's original character was beginning to collapse? Did the eldest lady of the Wu family, who was aloof and indifferent to the world at the beginning, disappear at the Hundred Flowers Banquet
After the old lady watched them select bracelets respectively, she finally started to talk about the important points.
"You have all been tired from preparing for the Hundred Flowers Banquet these days, so just stay home and rest. There is also a letter from Ziqi. They should be back in about three days. You will be busy again then. How many days?"
"Is it true?" Upon hearing the news, Wu Liuyun's eyes suddenly lit up, and the original haze seemed to dissipate.
"That's great..." Wu Lixiang was also excited, her eyes were red because she hadn't seen her twin brother for more than half a year.
There was a burst of joy in the room, but only Wu Jinghua sighed in disappointment, extremely reluctant to the news.
Wu Sheyue looked at everyone's reactions. It could be said that some people were happy and some were sad. She wonders if those brothers she has never met mean extra inexplicable enemies to her.
The old lady was very happy when she thought that the man was finally going home.
She sighed and said: "Ziqi and the others have finally returned from their studies, and we finally have a man at home in the prime minister's house. Sigh... I guess they won't go out again when they come back this time. Since they can stay at home for a long time in the future, then Many things need to be replaced with new ones. If your mother is too busy, if there is anything you can't think of, you guys can help out. After all, we are all family members, you know."
"Yes." Wu Lixiang nodded excitedly. She would definitely help Ziming buy all the supplies!
Wu Liuyun's previous anger slowly calmed down, and she seemed to have received reassurance that with Ziqi here, the Prime Minister's Mansion was their brother and sister's world. The good times are over for these people!
Wu Sheyue pretended to be curious and asked, "Both brothers and sisters have returned from school, so dad will definitely arrange some training errands for them? Will it be very busy? Will Yue'er not be able to cause trouble for the brothers? Woolen cloth."
The old lady thought about it: "It shouldn't be possible for the time being. It's more important to get familiar with the courtiers, royal power and nobles first. Speaking of which... When they come back, you guys can learn from Ziqi and the others. You can also read some on weekdays. Go study. If you don't feel comfortable asking others if you don't know something, just go and ask your brothers secretly. Don't be afraid if you are busy."
When the old lady said this, several girls nodded in agreement. Only Wu Lixiang was stunned for a moment, and she said straightforwardly: "Hey, grandma, I don't want to study."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Sheyue looked at her in surprise. However, the others didn't seem to find it strange.
Wu Lixiang continued: "We girls, why did our grandmother tell us to study? It's useless after we study." If we have time, we might as well embroider flowers and go out to temple fairs.
The old lady smiled helplessly and said: "You are so old and you are still ignorant. How can you do it if you just want to play. You are a lady, how can you attend a big occasion without ink. Besides, if you become a mistress in the future , that is to manage the household affairs. You can’t be illiterate and can’t even read a ledger. Although you don’t have to learn it deeply, you should at least learn a general idea.”
"Hey..." Wu Lixiang sighed sadly. They all said that men want to obtain academic status. Why do women want to learn this...
Wu Jinghua laughed and said, "Even if the fourth sister is preparing to be a mistress in the future, she still has to learn this knowledge."
Wu Lixiang didn't realize what she really meant, and nodded in disappointment. She has paid too much for her future wealthy life.
The old lady looked at her fourth granddaughter and felt worried. If she continued to be so lazy and lazy, how could she marry a housekeeper in the future
Wu Sheyue and others sat in Qunxingzhai for a while longer. The old lady later said she was tired, so they all got up and left.
As soon as these girls left, Jiang Qingxue came over, as if she had eyes in the yard - maybe she did.
A moment later, in the small room in the inner hall.
The doors and windows were closed, and smoke drifted from the incense burner. The old lady was leaning on the dark green embroidered pillow, holding a cup of warm tea in her hand. Her shrewd eyes carefully looked at Jiang Qingxue in front of her.
Jiang Qingxue looked like she hadn't slept all night. She looked very tired, her eyes were so dark that even makeup and powder couldn't cover her eyes, and she was shaking even when she sat on the chair.
The old lady took a sip of her tea and said, "What's the matter with you coming to see me like this?"
Jiang Qingxue said sleepily and tiredly: "Mom, I'm always worried. After thinking about it, I still think I should come and tell you."
The old lady frowned and asked, "What happened?"
"Yue'er... Hey, you didn't see it. She only performed well at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. But before the Hundred Flowers Banquet, in the Imperial Garden... I heard people say that it was she who caused Liu Yun to make a fool of herself in front of the prince and the Tian family. The young lady was exposed, and even Princess Xin Yue was injured by her. This is simply too lawless."
The old lady frowned coldly, "Is this really possible?!"
Jiang Qingxue sighed: "I heard what others said, but Princess Xin Yue was indeed unwell and did not attend yesterday. It looked like she was really injured. I always feel that Yue'er is going to cause big trouble for our prime minister's office. Oh! I was so anxious yesterday that I couldn't sleep a good night's sleep, so I couldn't help but come and talk to you this morning."
When she heard that there was going to be trouble in the prime minister's house, the old lady was a little frightened. "Then she did it herself when she beat the princess? Did anyone tell the emperor?!"
"No, she was the one who instigated His Highness to take action."
At that moment, Jiang Qingxue explained in detail how Wu Sheyue took the initiative to provoke and humiliate Long Fu Simei, how she designed and bullied Tian Anran to expose her, and framed and blamed Xin Yue, so that Xin Yue took the blame.
After hearing this, the old lady felt very surprised. According to Jiang Qingxue, Wu Sheyue single-handedly defeated the princesses. This was not only ruthless but also very scheming. This, this is completely different from the third girl she always thought she was!
The old lady was very doubtful whether Wu Sheyue was acting coy in front of her, or Jiang Qingxue was talking nonsense because she hated Yin Qiuming...
Thinking of this, the old lady's mind was spinning rapidly. If Wu Sheyue is as docile and harmless as a little sheep, then her value can only be used once, and that is when she is sent out. If she is not what she looks like but is very scheming... then such a girl is definitely suitable for crawling around in the back house.
At this moment, the old lady suddenly hoped that what Jiang Qingxue said was true, because the latter had more room for utilization.
"According to what you just said, the prince first helped her beat people up, and then... so the prince must be a little interested in Yue'er." She asked, which was equivalent to believing Jiang Qingxue's words.
"It should be." Jiang Qingxue sighed: "Actually, if Yue'er can succeed in marrying the prince because of this Hundred Flowers Banquet, it won't be a bad thing. But Yue'er is a concubine after all, and she will be a concubine at most. , the power position is not high, and it is difficult to correct her. But Liuyun is different. After Liuyun is gone, she can only be the concubine. With the support of our prime minister, she will be able to ascend to the lower position in the future. For our prime minister's office, You still have to choose the best.”
"That's true. Actually, it's not impossible to marry both of them. It's just that we have a high position in the prime minister's palace, and I'm afraid the emperor won't tolerate it..."
The old lady just felt it was a pity. It was a pity that Wu Sheyue was beautiful, talented, and scheming. She was even more flexible, flexible, calm, sweet-tongued, and coaxing than Wu Liuyun. But it’s just this status that I really can’t improve~ Otherwise, a direct descendant of Wu Sheyue will definitely be able to gain more benefits for the Prime Minister’s Mansion!
Jiang Qingxue quickly got to the point and said, "Mom, Yue'er has attracted the Crown Prince's attention during this Hundred Flowers Banquet. If we don't handle it properly, I'm afraid it will affect the existing relationship between Liu Yun and the Crown Prince. What if, what if? One or three people are at loggerheads, so the girl from the prime minister's house has no chance at all. It's not worth the loss! Besides, Yue'er also offended those young ladies, who are all powerful in our court, so it doesn't matter now There is no telling when this hidden danger will break out. How about we quickly consider a marriage for Yue'er, which will not only cut off the prince's thoughts and achieve Liuyun. By then, those young ladies and princesses will Even if I hate her, it won’t spread to the Prime Minister’s Mansion.”
"Why are you in such a hurry?" The old lady's tone was hesitant and she seemed to be persuaded. While she was worried about what Jiang Qingxue said, she was also reluctant to let the chess piece fail to play its full role.
Jiang Qingxue continued to persuade: "Mom! Don't hesitate. I know that Yue'er can bring reputation and benefits to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but I'm afraid that she will be domineering and domineering. When the time comes, we won't be able to use her, and she will in turn bring us more benefits." Let's make trouble! At that time, don't say that we expect Wu Sheyue to add glory and glory. Thank God if she doesn't make our prime minister's house look ugly."
"I'll think about this, don't rush it." The old lady frowned displeased. She had already thought about it in her mind, "Even if you can't marry the prince, you have to find one with the best and most suitable official position as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be in vain. Our girl from the Prime Minister’s Mansion. Please keep an eye on her during this period. If you find someone suitable, make an engagement first.” (To be continued)
