Although Xiao Feifei is a few years younger than the eldest princess, in terms of seniority, Xiao Feifei is still the eldest princess's aunt.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunxi couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled. For someone like Xiao Feifei to show her teeth and claws, her thoughts were easy to guess and not something to be afraid of.
"Why are you laughing? I have never seen anyone who would bring out the Emperor's rewards with great fanfare. They are all well presented and burned with incense every day to show respect for the Emperor. What a bumpkin."
Xiao Feifei looked at the white jade plum blossom hairpin on Chu Yunxi's head, and recalled how she overpowered her during the spring banquet in the palace. She hated Chu Yunxi even more. Every time she fought with Chu Yunxi, she always lost.
.
Mrs. Chu frowned, this Xiao Feifei was too rude to her daughter, but in this situation, it was not easy for her to argue with a junior, without hurting the face of the eldest princess.
Chu Yunxi gently pulled her angry mother away:
"Miss Xiao is not a hairpin, do you know what hairpin thinks?" Chu Yunxi asked calmly.
"The hairpin is a dead thing, what can you think?" Xiao Feifei didn't know what riddle she was trying to solve.
"The hairpin is indeed a dead thing, but it becomes spiritual when it follows its owner. If the owner doesn't cherish it, it can only collect dust in the corner. If the owner wears it well, it can follow the owner to enjoy flowers and feasts. Look at this
It’s a beautiful scenery, Miss Xiao thinks, does this hairpin prefer to be kept in one place every day, or does it like to be worn by me?”
"This, is this a fallacy?" Xiao Feifei couldn't say anything and stamped her feet anxiously.
Although Chu Yunxi's idea was a fallacy, when everyone thought about it carefully, it seemed to make sense. They did not dare to use any of the items given by the emperor, but kept them all as gifts.
In the end, I don't know what use these objects could be put to. Perhaps they could only show off to others that they had received a reward from the emperor, and they could only show them off in their own homes.
"In my opinion, if I wear it well and make it more dazzling, it will not be a disgrace to the emperor's reward."
Chu Yunxi opened her small mouth and refused to give up an inch. Her sharp teeth really amazed all the ladies.
"Sister Feifei, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why don't you let Xueer talk to you?"
Seeing that Xiao Feifei was no match for Chu Yunxi, Chu Xueer hurriedly got to Xiao Feifei's side and came to the rescue. She thought to herself that the enemy of her enemy is her friend, and they should have a lot in common.
Who knew that Xiao Feifei would attack indiscriminately: "Go away, you are just a concubine, you are worthy of talking to me?"
Xiao Feifei relied on her identity. Ever since she found out that Chu Xueer was a concubine, she couldn't look at her.
Chu Xueer did not expect that her allies were not involved, but she was still insulted. She seemed to be shocked, and stood there with an aggrieved look, and was in a dilemma for a while.
"Feifei, don't be rude." The eldest princess pretended to scold her, but her tone was more doting.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yunxi also spoke out to educate Chu Xueer:
"Chu Xue'er, you don't distinguish between superior and inferior at home, and you don't know how to restrain yourself when you go out! What is Miss Xiao's identity? She is the eldest princess's aunt, how dare you call each other sisters with Miss Xiao? You are also
Do you want to be the eldest princess’s aunt?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone took a breath. Not to mention Chu Yunxi, who would deliberately think about the seniority of Xiao Feifei and the eldest princess. After all, Xiao Feifei is younger than the eldest princess. They are all based on their status.
The eldest princess treats Xiao Feifei like a younger sister.
But once this identity was revealed, it seemed that the eldest princess was not quite right when she called Xiao Feifei by her first name and talked to Xiao Feifei like she was her sister.
Moreover, Chu Yunxi said that Chu Xueer did not distinguish between superiority and inferiority at home. Thinking about the past, whenever the two sisters shared a table, Chu Xueer would compete for the limelight, but there was no distinction between superiority and inferiority.
Those who could come to attend the eldest princess's flower-viewing banquet were all first ladies and first-born young ladies. Thinking about the warblings, concubines and concubines in her own family, they all felt some sympathy for Chu Yunxi.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Chu Xueer was a little panicked: "Eldest Princess, this is not what I mean. I just want to get closer to Miss Xiao. I don't think much about it. I would like to ask the eldest princess for your advice."
She knelt down on the ground, looking like she had been wronged. With Chu Yunxi's big hat on, it was hard for the princess not to respond.
The eldest princess was indeed unhappy. It was useless. She was just being polite to Jun Hongyan for the sake of her. She was actually stupid.
Although it was unintentional, what Chu Yunxi said was right, she was indeed suppressed in terms of seniority.
Chu Yunxi was so happy that she added fuel to the fire: "Birds of a feather flock together, and people divide into groups. Chu Xue'er, do you think Miss Xiao and you are the same kind of people?"
"You!" How should she reply? If she said yes, it would be devaluing Xiao Feifei's identity. If she said no, that would be even worse.
"Hmph! It's important for people to know themselves." Xiao Feifei's son now looks at Chu Yunxi more favorably than Chu Xue'er. At least they are both legitimate daughters. How can a concubine like Chu Xue'er be compared?
of.
Everyone was thoughtful, it seems that this Chu Xueer can't beat Chu Yunxi.
Before that, I don’t know what tricks she used to make her eldest sister willingly support her, and I don’t know what she did to leave the court to make her eldest sister treat him like an enemy.
"A concubine can also come to the eldest princess's flower viewing party. It's really a change in the world."
A woman in pink clothes just came out of the screen and spoke rudely.
"Miss Su, Mrs. Su from Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, has arrived!" the maid hurriedly reported.
"I have met the eldest princess of Pingyao. May the eldest princess be blessed and safe." The two of them bowed.
The eldest princess made a fuss and motioned for them to get up:
"Little aunt, cousin!" Chu Yunxi finally had the opportunity to leave from Princess Pingyao and happily held the hand of her cousin Su Yan.
I don’t know what’s going on in my mother’s family. She has more boys than girls. She has four uncles, but only three cousins, and the other two are already married.
My aunt's daughter Su Yan is only a few days older than her and about the same age, so she is closer to her.
"Cousin, I have told you a long time ago that a good person will be ridiculed by others, and a good person will be bullied by others. There are some people who know how to gain face even if you don't give them face."
Su Yan has a straightforward personality. Although her words don't sound good, they are recognized by all the real ladies. The distinction between concubine and concubine is the right way and cannot be messed up.
"What my cousin said is that my cousin has learned a lesson."
Chu Yunxi smiled and said to Yan Yan, Su Yan had advised her in the same way in her previous life, but at that time, she only thought that she was shallow and narrow-minded and could not tolerate a concubine.
Now that I think about it, I am the shallow one. My cousin really cares about her, but she doesn't recognize good people.
Chu Xueer was now inferior to others and had no right to speak. She could only bite her lower lip, as if she did not dare to resist after being wronged.
"Speaking of which, it's not my fault. I only heard that Madam Chu had already recorded Chu Xueer as her legitimate daughter many years ago. I don't know when it was changed again?"
Although the eldest princess of Pingyao was smiling, her words were alluding to the fact that the Chu family was in internal strife and that orders were changed day after day, leaving outsiders wondering how to deal with it.
