Chapter 249 Don't be stupid
During the ceremony, Xiangyue first looked at Zhu Xuntao with confidence.
When she saw that Zhu Xuntao, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, looked three times better than herself with makeup,
she bit her lips and looked unwilling.
On the day of the palace banquet, Xiangyue had a stomachache, so she didn't enter the palace.
Others finally saw the legendary Zhu Xuntao on the day of the palace banquet,
but Zhao Xiangyue met Zhu Xuntao for the first time until today.
After the palace banquet, Madam Ji told Zhao Xiangyue that Zhu Xuntao was good-looking, and
her sister Zhao Xiangyao also said that her appearance was not as good as Zhu Xuntao. Even if everyone was talking about Zhu Xuntao's beauty,
Zhao Xiangyue was unwilling to believe it.
If Zhu Xuntao's appearance is really that outstanding, even if she is just a beautiful fool with nothing on the outside, her reputation should not be so bad.
Especially since Zhu Xuntao's reputation was spread by Madam Sun herself.
Unless Madam Sun, as a mother, has a problem with her brain,
why would she treat her own good daughter like a nobody?
Zhao Xiangyue, who was holding a grudge, had been looking for an opportunity to see with her own eyes what Zhu Xuntao really looks like.
Today, Zhao Xiangyue finally got what she wanted.
But when her idea really became a reality, Zhao Xiangyue found that she felt more and more uncomfortable.
It turned out that what others said to her was true, without any exaggeration.
This Yongjing Prince's Consort is indeed prettier than her...
Zhao Xiangyue is the daughter of Minister Zhao. Others speculate that Boli and Zhu Xuntao are related, but Madam Ji heard Minister Zhao admit it himself. Zhu Dingxing was
really unlucky. He finally gave birth to Zhu Xuntao, a daughter as beautiful as a golden basket,
but in the end, she was given to the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion for nothing. As a father, she got nothing.
Now it has been proved that Zhu Xuntao's appearance is better than hers, and her ability is also better than hers
. In an instant, all the resentment disappeared from Zhao Xiangyue's heart.
If Zhu Xuntao, who is better than her, is not worthy of marrying Prince Xiao, then how can she be worthy?
After figuring out everything, Zhao Xiangyue let go of the obsession in her heart and suddenly said:
"Crown Princess, you are very good."
"Thank you, thank you."
Just like being praised, Zhu Xuntao said politely:
"You are also very good."
Zhao Xiangyue thought about it first, then nodded:
"I want to be like the Crown Princess, work as hard as the Crown Princess, and try to make myself better."
This Crown Princess had such a bad reputation before, but now she has turned the tide, and I have to praise her for encouragement.
Zhao Xiangyue thought, if I were Zhu Xuntao, could I do it?
Faced with this unanswered question, Zhao Xiangyue became more and more determined to learn from Zhu Xuntao.
Seeing that her daughter had figured it out and was no longer shackled by the little possibility and "almost" in the past, Mrs. Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that Xiangyue's visit to the palace today was not in vain.
At least her daughter got out of her dilemma. When Mrs. Ji looked at Jiang Yijing and Zhu Xuntao, she smiled more sincerely:
"Speaking of which, Madam Hou is really lucky. Not only does she have a smart and clever daughter." "
When it comes to marrying a daughter-in-law, she can marry the most outstanding girl in the capital with her eyes closed."
"Madam Hou, you have such a good eye, teach me this skill."
"I still have unmarried men in my house, and I want to learn from you."
Mrs. Ji said that she wanted to learn the skill of choosing a daughter-in-law from Jiang Yijing. This was not only a flattery, but she said it very seriously.
If she had known earlier that Zhu Xuntao was such a girl,
she would have visited the Zhu Mansion several times to see if she could, through her own efforts,
get Zhu Xuntao, who was like a golden doll, into her own bowl.
When she thought of what Minister Zhao said about how much money Zhu Xuntao would get from Glass every time,
Madam Ji regretted it so much that her intestines turned green and she kept saying that she had made a mistake.
Jiang Yijing tried very hard to suppress the corners of her grinning mouth:
"If Madam Ji really wants to know, then you've come to the wrong person."
"I'm just an ordinary woman, how can I have such a good ability to judge people."
"Speaking of which, it's all because our old lady knows how to judge people and arranged for Jingzhan to marry a good girl like Taotao."
If she had her mother-in-law's ability and saw that Zhu Xuntao was a good child early on,
she and Madam Ji wouldn't have the friendship they have today.
Zhao Xiangyue has feelings for Xiao Jingzhan, Jiang Yijing knows.
In the past, she was happy to see it happen.
Now, Jiang Yijing is still worried, fearing that Zhao Xiangyue will disregard everything and dig up the old accounts,
making Zhu Xuntao feel upset and more unwilling to have children.
Afterwards, Zhao Xiangyue's performance made Jiang Yijing breathe a sigh of relief:
although her vision was not as good as her mother-in-law's, it was not too bad.
Look, the second girl of the Zhao family still knows the general situation.
Jiang Yijing would not think about it carefully, because Zhu Xuntao completely defeated Zhao Xiangyue in appearance, which was what Zhao Xiangyue cared about the most.
If Zhu Xuntao looked a little worse, Zhao Xiangyue would not have the attitude she has today.
"Madam Hou, you see, my Xiangyue is about the same age as the Crown Prince's Consort, and Xiangyao is about the same age as Miss Mi Luo."
"Since our two families are so close, shouldn't we let them get closer?"
Madam Ji also wanted to let her two daughters get closer to Zhu Xuntao.
Everyone knows that Zhu Xuntao is a powerful person. If we still talk about face at this time,
It would be really stupid not to stay close to Zhu Xuntao.
Don't think that she doesn't know the news in the palace. Both the emperor and the empress praised Zhu Xuntao highly.
Now even the empress dowager looked at Zhu Xuntao differently.
Zhu Xuntao used her own strength to please the three big men in the palace.
If her two unmarried daughters can learn Zhu Xuntao's skills, do they still have to worry about the future?
Madam Ji knew that because of Minister Zhao's mistakes, her youngest daughter Zhao Xiangyao lost the position of Crown Princess.
If the position of Crown Princess is gone, then the position of Consort Liang is not unacceptable.
The position of Crown Princess has been vacant for a long time. Who knows if it will remain vacant until the crown prince ascends the throne?
If this is true, the younger daughter will become the prince's concubine and give birth to the prince's eldest son as soon as possible.
By then, the position of empress will still belong to the younger daughter.
With this in mind, Madam Ji wants her daughter to get closer to Zhu Xuntao.
Even if Zhao Xiangyue can be put aside, Zhao Xiangyao must be the most important. As
long as Zhao Xiangyao learns Zhu Xuntao's skills,
what difference will it make whether she is a concubine or a princess, and after she is loved by the emperor and others?
Madam Ji finally got the opportunity today, so how could she miss it?
