Chapter 224 Hug Early

"Don't worry, even if you really make a mistake at the palace banquet, no one will make things difficult for you."

"The Queen and the Crown Prince will protect you, and the Emperor is very pleased recently, so he will protect you even more."

"As for the Queen Mother, she has had fresh vegetables sent by you in her meals every day, and she has a very good impression of you."

This means that the four big men in the palace have been bribed by Zhu Xuntao, and they are all Zhu Xuntao's backers.

Anyone who dares to cause trouble for Zhu Xuntao at the palace banquet is simply courting death.

"That's right."

After hearing Xiao Jingzhan say that the people with the highest status in the palace had a very good impression of her, Zhu Xuntao relaxed her tense nerves.

As long as she doesn't cause trouble, at most the food won't be good, and this palace banquet should be peaceful.

What Zhu Xuntao never expected was that just because she didn't cause trouble, it didn't mean trouble wouldn't come to her.

Zhu Xuntao, who was already a third-rank lady, had her own special wedding dress when she entered the palace.

After wearing the dress, the bright and charming Zhu Xuntao actually held up the elegance and aura of the dress.

"It looks good, grandma's Taotao looks really good in this dress."

"It's a pity that the lady's wedding dress doesn't match my Taotao, I must wear the first-rank imperial dress in the future."

Old Madam Sheng was full of praise for Zhu Xuntao who had changed her clothes.

This time, Old Madam Sheng still refused to enter the palace because she was old and unwell.

Old Madam Sheng insisted, and others couldn't persuade her.

Not to mention, after the heavy snow this year, the roads outside are really hard to walk on. Every day there is a thin layer of ice on the streets, which can't be shoveled away.

It may have been false in the past that it was not suitable to go out, but today, this statement couldn't be more true.

"Don't worry."

Jiang Yijing also liked Zhu Xuntao dressed like this.

She only knew that Zhu Xuntao had a very good complexion before, and her mistress's temperament was indeed much worse.

Later, after she sincerely accepted Zhu Xuntao, Jiang Yijing would no longer complain that Zhu Xuntao was too good-looking and looked vulgar.

She would only think that her daughter-in-law was good-looking, and the grandchildren born in the future would definitely be better-looking.

Who wouldn't like such a good-looking person?

Until today, when she saw Zhu Xuntao put on airs and her aura was no less than any noblewoman she knew,

Jiang Yijing finally realized how much she had looked down on Zhu Xuntao.

Zhu Xuntao's good points were not only what she had discovered before,

but Zhu Xuntao was even better than she thought.

"Jingzhan, did you hear what your grandmother said?"

"If Taotao is promoted to the first-rank imperial rank first, you will have to pay respect to Taotao in the future?" "

The emperor has always valued you. If, because of you, he holds Taotao back and does not allow her to become a first-rank imperial rank, it is your responsibility. You have to pay respect to Taotao and apologize."

Jiang Yijing felt that these two possibilities were half and half.

So, all of a sudden, all the pressure was on Xiao Jingzhan.

"My son, please remember what I said."

Xiao Jingzhan did not refuse, saying that he would work hard and not hold Zhu Xuntao back.

"It's getting late, let's go to the palace and don't keep the nobles waiting."

Xiao Yuanshan put down his teacup and stood up.

Xiao Yuanqi followed: "Brother is right."

Apart from the emperor, the palace banquet was also a chance for them to meet the empress, their sister.

Therefore, the empress must be waiting anxiously.

But...

Xiao Yuanqi looked at Madam Sheng in embarrassment and sighed.

I'm afraid the empress will be disappointed again this year.

Old Madam Sheng ignored her second son's look, drank her tea calmly, and told Xiao Jingzhan:

"Jingzhan, today is Taotao's first time to enter the palace, take good care of Taotao."

"If Taotao makes any trouble at the palace banquet, I will hold you responsible."

"Don't worry, grandma, I will."

Xiao Jingzhan replied.

Xiao Miluo simply pushed Xiao Jingzhan away and stuck to Zhu Xuntao:

"Grandma, I will definitely stay by my sister-in-law's side. I will bite anyone who bullies my sister-in-law!"

Old Madam Sheng: "..."

Zhu Xuntao: "..."

[That's not necessary. ]

Xiao Miluo grinded his little white teeth, indicating that it was necessary.

My sister-in-law never goes out and has never interacted with the noble ladies in the capital,

so how could she know that since the first day she married my eldest brother, she has automatically become the enemy of many noble ladies who want to snatch their good husband.

In addition to these noble ladies who covet my eldest brother, there is also Zhu Yingyan.

What if Zhu Yingyan finds trouble with my sister-in-law at the palace banquet?

Humph!

Who dares to bully my sister-in-law, come one, she beats one, come two, she beats a pair.

So, how is it unnecessary? It is obviously very necessary.

"Okay, you guys be careful on the way, and come back early after the palace banquet."

Xiao Yuanshan and others waited and waited, only waiting for the last sentence of Madam Sheng. As for the rest, there was not a single word about the queen.

From this, it can be seen that Madam Sheng's grudge against the Empress is not ordinary.

Until today, Madam Sheng cannot accept the Empress's idea.

When they were going out and getting on the carriage, Xiao Miluo started to squeeze Xiao Jingzhan again:

"Brother, you are a grown man, why do you need to sit in a carriage? You should ride a horse with the second brother and the others to enter the palace."

"Leave the carriage to us women."

In the past, Xiao Miluo would envy her brothers for riding horses, and she could only sit in the carriage and feel bored.

Today, with Zhu Xuntao's company, riding a horse is not interesting anymore, and naturally, her brothers are not interesting anymore.

The abandoned Xiao Jingzhan: "..."

Xiao Jingyu patted Xiao Jingzhan's shoulder sympathetically:

"Brother, just bear with it for half a day."

He and his wife have a very good relationship, and even a moment of separation makes him uncomfortable.

Now, big brother can finally understand his daily feelings, right?

The difference between being emotional and not being emotional is really huge.

The men of their Xiao family, whether they show it or not, have the habit and tradition of sticking to their wives.

But his uncle and his father usually pretend to be better than them.

"Mom, hug me."

Xiao Chenliang, who is almost three years old, is attending a palace banquet for the first time, just like Zhu Xuntao.

Xiao Chenliang, who knows nothing, just thinks that everyone is going out to play together, but he doesn't know that palace banquets are not fun at all.

"Okay, hold him."

Zhu Xuntao pulled Xiao Chenliang up from the ground like pulling a carrot and put him into the carriage.

She had to do some housework when she lived with her grandfather in a country farm and had practiced arm strength.

Otherwise, with the weight of this little fat boy, she would hardly be able to hold him.

Yang Xi was a step slower and was helped into the carriage by Xiao Jingyu. She admired Zhu Xuntao very much:

"Sister-in-law, you are so strong."

"Liangchen is a child who will eat and grow. I can't even hold him."

"Even if I hold him while sitting, my hands and feet will go numb after a while..."

Sister-in-law was able to pick up Chenliang from the ground and put him into the carriage. Such strength is really enviable.

Zhu Xuntao smiled and advised Yang Xiruo:

"The education of children from aristocratic families is strict. If you don't hold her now, you won't be able to hold her in the future."
