The Zhou family mother and daughter arrived quite early. It was Madam Zhou's first time to visit the princess's mansion. Seeing the huge mansion, she said to Zhou Jiayun, "I didn't expect this princess's mansion to be even more luxurious than the palace."

Zhou Jiayun said, "I heard that this princess mansion was built by the late emperor with the best craftsmen when Princess Pingrou was just born, and it was still under construction even after Princess Pingrou came of age and got married."

Madam Zhou asked, "Wasn't it built after Princess Pingrou was betrothed to Duke Lu?"

Zhou Jiayun shook her head and said, "Princess Pingrou's Mansion was built first, and Duke Lu's Mansion was built later. His Majesty originally awarded the best land in Shengjing City to his eldest daughter, Princess Pingrou, and Prince Qi of Qiyang."

Madam Zhou looked at the luxuriousness of Princess Pingrou's mansion with envy. She reached out and held Zhou Jiayun's hand:

"Princess Pingrou's mansion is truly wealthy and powerful. In Jiangnan City, it's rare for a girl's hundred-day celebration to be so grand. This hundred-day celebration is even more grand than the hundred-day celebrations of the eldest sons of other official families."

Zhou Jiayun looked at the crowded hall and saw Lu Ze and Qi Yuning standing together to entertain the guests from afar, and felt a mixture of sadness and envy in her heart.

Madam Zhou said, "It's good that we have another daughter. When you marry into the princess's mansion, if you can bear a son for Lu Ze, there might be a chance that you will surpass Princess Qi in the future."

When Zhou Jiayun saw someone coming, she said to Madam Zhou, "Mom, please stop talking."

Madam Zhou fell silent. Seeing that the person coming was the old lady of the Lu family, she and Zhou Jiayun stepped forward and said, "Old lady."

Madam Lu saw the two people in front of her and said, "You two don't look familiar. Which family are you from?"

Madam Zhou smiled and said, "We just arrived in Beijing from Jiangnan not long ago. The old lady may not recognize us. My husband is the Empress Dowager's brother."

"So it's the wife of the emperor's uncle. My apologies." Madam Lu looked at Zhou Jiayun beside her, her eyes brightening as she asked, "There are so few girls this pretty in the capital. Are you engaged?"

Madam Zhou said, "No, she's sixteen now, and I'm worried about her marriage. My daughter's appearance is, and I'm not boasting, the most beautiful in the world, so naturally I want to find her a husband who is the most outstanding."

"It's a pity that my Ze'er is married." Old Madam Lu sighed, "Otherwise, your daughter would be a much better match for Ze'er than Qi Yuning!"

When Second Madam Lu, who was supporting Old Madam Lu, heard this, she wished she didn't know her mother-in-law. On the wedding day of Lu Ze and Princess Qi, Old Madam Lu said this without giving Princess Qi any face at all.

Mrs. Lu Er also didn't understand. What was this old lady trying to do at such an old age?

He was not afraid that the Zhou family would get angry, because after all, the Zhou family was the young emperor's maternal family.

Madam Zhou smiled and said, "After searching all over the capital, it is true that only the Prince Regent is a good match for my Jiayun."

Madam Lu Er looked at Madam Zhou with a smile on her face, and thought to herself that Madam Zhou was even more confused than Madam Lu.
