Mrs. Yu saw the changes in her niece with her own eyes, and thinking about it now makes her feel chilly all over.
When I heard her voice at this time, I felt as if I was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
She forced a smile and said, "It's been a while since we last met."
He didn't ask about her health or the condition of her fetus.
Jiang Shuhua didn't seem to hear the alienating tone, so she took Yu's arm and said with a smile: "My third uncle has been promoted. I just got the news. His Highness told me personally, saying that he was going to
Give me a surprise.
Who would have thought that it would be such a good thing? I guess my job is to support people, so the third aunt looks better now than before."
He actually took the credit for Xie Feiwu's promotion without any courtesy at all.
Logically speaking, if Mrs. Yu was smarter at this time, she should have thanked Jiang Shuhua at this time.
But although Mrs. Yu didn't want to offend Jiang Shuhua, she really didn't like her niece in her heart, so she just smiled lightly.
The perfunctory look on his face can be clearly seen by anyone passing by.
Zhao Yuechan, who had just walked over from the other end, noticed this and immediately walked over with great interest, "It's Mrs. Xie!"
For Jiang Shuhua, a good lady, according to her rank, Mrs. Yu doesn't need to salute.
But Zhao Yuechan was above her, and she took advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Jiang Shuhua's hand and respectfully saluted Zhao Yuechan, "I have met Zhao Concubine."
"Otherwise, how can we say she is the wife of the Minister of Etiquette? This rule is really good at all."
These words are clearly a nod to Jiang Shuhua, implying that she has a low status and cannot accept courtesy from others.
The ladies who came today were all the wives of officials of third rank or above. There was really no need to salute Jiang Shuhua.
These words are just a slap in the face and make people look ugly.
Jiang Shuhua's expression was indeed a bit colder.
Zhao Yuechan became even more happy. She took Ms. Yu's hand to greet her and said, "I used to be very good with your girl, but after entering the palace, we don't have much chance to get together. If we have time,
, Madam, just bring your girl into the palace so that we can talk about old times."
These words came out of his mouth, Jiang Shuhua rolled her eyes in her heart.
With Xie Sihua's temperament, how could he possibly get along with Zhao Yuechan?
This Zhao Yuechan just came here to make herself uncomfortable when she had nothing to do.
So she said unceremoniously: "Concubine Zhao has arranged everything tonight. You know that I can't drink alcohol now, and there are many things that I can't touch, but are you bothering Concubine Zhao?"
Then he talked about his stomach.
Zhao Yuechan rolled her eyes fiercely in her heart, and then said calmly: "This is natural, can I still hurt you? There are so many ladies present now, and there are so many courtiers in front of me, I just have that intention.
, wouldn’t be so stupid!”
Yu's hand was still held by Zhao Yuechan at this moment, and she suddenly felt embarrassed.
These two people are at odds with each other. Is there any grudge they have that they can't talk about in secret? Do they have to do it in front of her?
Fortunately, an acquaintance came up not far away. Mrs. Yu quickly greeted the person, and then said apologetically to the two of them: "Sister Liu is greeting my wife, please come over."
After Mrs. Yu left, the faces of Jiang Shuhua and Zhao Yuechan who had been smiling just now immediately fell down.
Zhao Yuechan sneered and said: "I say you should have some face! There is no one in the Xie family who is willing to pay attention to you, and you still don't feel embarrassed if you are so aggressive?"
"I didn't know that Concubine Zhao had such a good relationship with my sixth sister? It seems... in my impression, you two haven't even spoken to each other alone, right?
At Gao Ying's banquet that year, Concubine Zhao seemed to have said that my sixth sister's painting skills were not good?"
Zhao Yuechan didn't care at all when she was exposed, and sighed to herself: "What's the big deal if we didn't have any friendship in the past? There will be plenty of opportunities to build relationships in the future, right?"
Jiang Shuhua just sneered, "Is it like you did to His Highness?"
"What? You finally said it? Are you jealous? Are you scratching your head every night and unable to sleep?" Zhao Yuechan was very proud, "Hey, just take good care of your belly! Although I can give birth to His Highness,
A little princess is your luck, but I think your luck probably ends here.
A person's luck is determined from the moment he is born. Just like you, you were born as a farmer's daughter, but you were caught in a war, and you bumped into the mistress of the Xie family.
You have enjoyed the glory and wealth that does not belong to you for more than ten years. God is probably taking pity on you, but your dirty thoughts have succeeded, you entered the East Palace, and you used some charming tricks to seduce His Highness, and you were able to gain a foothold in the palace.
But let me tell you, your luck has come to an end, can’t you even smell the muddy smell on your body that can’t be concealed?”
After saying that, he took the palace maid back very proudly.
He knew clearly that she said such words on purpose to make him angry, but Jiang Shuhua still had to admit that she was really angry with her at this moment.
Mingyue, who was waiting on the side, said quickly: "Liangdi, Concubine Zhao is such a bitch. If she wasn't afraid of you, Liangdi, how could she target you like this? Don't be fooled by her."
Jiang Shuhua naturally knew this, but just thinking about her saying that she smelled like mud made her really angry.
The thing that she hates the most in her heart is that she made the mistake of hugging her in the first place.
If there was nothing wrong with him at the beginning, so what if he grew up in the Jiang family?
She could just peacefully be the daughter of a farmer. She would not know what kind of extravagant lifestyle there was among those nobles, or what the delicacies of the mountains and seas were like in those silks and satins.
It was a mistake to give her a hug when I saw Qian Sheng. He allowed her to see the prosperity of this world before letting her know how miserable and humble her background was.
Zhao Yuechan said this was her luck, but in fact, for Jiang Shuhua, it was her nightmare.
It's a nightmare that she must break.
She took a deep breath to calm herself down completely, and then showed a dignified and gentle smile to the Crown Princess who walked out from a distance.
Then he asked softly: "Have you prepared everything that should be prepared?"
Mingyue also had a standard smile on her face when serving people, and nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Liangdi, everything is arranged according to your instructions, and the hospital is also ready."
The breath that had been stuck in Jiang Shuhua's throat just now completely calmed down.
She looked at the Zhao sisters over there, and the smile on her face became much more sincere.
With gentle steps, Jiang Shuhua walked all the way to the Crown Princess and bowed seriously, "I haven't gone to pay my respects to the Crown Princess for several days. Please don't blame me."
The Crown Princess was in a good mood today, and with so many important wives present, it was naturally time to show her virtuous and generous nature. The smile on her face looked sincere and friendly, "What are you talking about! The most important thing for you now is to take care of your belly.
It doesn’t matter if you wish me well or not for the child here, if I can give birth to a son for His Highness, that will be a great achievement.”
Even though these words were very grand, the smiles of the ladies of the house and home who were watching were a little stiff.
Everyone is not stupid. There is no eldest son in the East Palace. Both women are pregnant at about the same month. How could they hope that the other party will give birth to a son?
No matter how virtuous the Crown Princess behaves on weekdays, she still cannot convince others.
Jiang Shuhua, however, seemed to have no doubts, thanking her again and again, and then congratulated the Crown Princess and her pregnant belly.
Just when he was holding the Crown Princess a little dizzy, he suddenly said, "Your Majesty's belly is not very visible. Speaking of it, it is actually bigger than my pregnancy."
