Chapter 251 Is there anything good?

Zhu Xuntao married Xiao Jingzhan, who was the nephew of the empress.

In this sense, the Zhu family and the empress were also related, because her daughter Zhu Xuntao was the niece of the empress.

Since they were not even remotely related, the empress should at least give them some preferential treatment.

When she was brought to a position similar to that of previous years by the palace servants, Madam Sun knew that she had thought too much,

and then she cursed Zhu Xuntao in her heart for being useless and unable to do anything.

This daughter, she really gave birth to in vain.

Madam Sun was willing to take advantage of Zhu Xuntao, but Zhu Yingyan was not.

Standing in her previous position, Zhu Yingyan felt extremely comfortable.

"Mother, what are those wives of officials discussing?"

Worried that Madam Sun was always thinking about Zhu Xuntao,

Zhu Yingyan quickly spoke up to pull Madam Sun back to her senses.

"I don't know."

After being reminded, Madam Sun finally noticed the strangeness of the others.

Seeing those people staying in the cold weather to pay New Year's greetings to the noble, and even looking excited, Madam Sun didn't understand:

Did something good happen?

"Hey, Madam Sun is here, over here."

The other ladies also noticed Madam Sun's appearance and called her over.

"Hello, everyone."

Madam Sun greeted everyone:

"What's going on? Why are you all so happy?"

Did she get some reward from the noble?

Yes, it is indeed very happy to have a good start on the first day of the new year.

Hearing what Madam Sun said, the ladies who had discussed the matter most heatedly before smiled and looked at Madam Sun meaningfully:

"Madam Sun, you are so lucky."

"Ah?"

"Oh."

Madam Sun was puzzled at first, and then she thought of the pair of glass vases that the emperor gave to Zhu Dingxing at the palace banquet, and immediately responded happily:

"The emperor values ​​my old man so much, I am indeed lucky."

"Hahaha."

Someone couldn't help laughing a few times, and if you listen carefully, you will find that the laughter is very unusual.

The other party couldn't help but remind Madam Sun:

"Madam Sun, today is the first day of the new year, so the streets and alleys of the capital are very lively, haven't you heard?"

The largest glassware shop opened in the best location in the capital.

As soon as the shop door opened, everyone was dazzled and lost their minds by the colored glass products in the shop.

The only thing that can make people return to their sanity is an empty wallet.

Colored glass products have been officially sold, and people with eyes and brains can naturally distinguish the connection between glass and colored glaze.

In just a moment, Zhu Xuntao's popularity in the capital city once again soared like a rocket.

Why did these ladies hold Jiang Yijing back just now, but today they are determined not to let her go without a clear answer?

They don't even care about their face, and they have their reasons.

That's a colored glass product! It

was developed based on the glass invented by Zhu Xuntao.

All kinds of novel gadgets sold in the shop of Yongjing Marquis's Mansion are related to glass.

At this rate of development, it is uncertain how many good things Zhu Xuntao can make with just glass.

Knowing that Zhu Xuntao is so powerful, if he does not make friends with Zhu Xuntao, it means that he is deliberately making things difficult for himself for the sake of his pitiful face.

Outsiders like them can understand it, but I wonder if Madam Sun, who is "one of us", can also understand it.

Therefore, the laughter of that lady just now was obviously meant to be a good show.

"What excitement? I didn't hear about it?"

The other person asked deliberately, but Madam Sun answered innocently.

"Yesterday was the New Year's Day, because... I was too happy and drank a few more cups. I almost got up late today and was late to pay New Year's greetings to you."

"So, if there is any new excitement in the capital, I hope you can tell me something."

Madam Sun didn't want her information to lag behind others.

Since they are willing to mention it to me, it shouldn't be a problem to tell me again.

Mrs. Sun, who is still in the dark, doesn't understand it. Zhu Yingyan, who has lived a longer life, stands by and sees it more clearly than Mrs. Sun.

After seeing the teasing in those people's eyes, Zhu Yingyan warned:

"Mom, it's getting late, we should not disturb them from paying New Year's greetings to the nobles."

"If there is anything, instead of asking, why don't we go and take a look ourselves, it's just a matter of convenience."

"Miss Zhu is right, some things can only be felt more deeply if you see them with your own eyes."

"In short, we don't have the good fortune of Madam Sun."

"Speaking of whose belly is good at giving birth, except for the nobles in the palace who all give birth to dragons and phoenixes, Madam Sun's belly is the most promising."

This is both true and angry.

The truth does not need to be explained.

Not to mention that their daughters can't compare with Zhu Xuntao, even their sons can't compare,

and even if they put all their children together, they still lose to Zhu Xuntao

. How can this not make people angry ?

They both gave birth to and raised children, but Madam Sun treated Zhu Xuntao the same way.

How could Zhu Xuntao secretly become a talent, while their children are still nothing? What

these people are particularly upset about is that such a Zhu Xuntao was born and raised by such a Madam Sun.

Is God blind?

Which of these people didn't raise their children more carefully than Madam Sun?

Anyway, this matter is quite unreasonable.

Although they are angry, these people are happy to watch the show, because they already know that

Madam Sun favors one over the other between her two daughters, favors the older one and bullies the younger one.

No matter how great Zhu Xuntao's achievements are, the news about Madam Sun, her biological mother, lags behind those of outsiders. This is enough to show that

Zhu Xuntao has not repaid Madam Sun with kindness, and the relationship between the mother and daughter is very bad.

Even if Madam Sun is lucky enough to give birth to such a good child as Zhu Xuntao, she

just doesn't have the ability to receive this blessing. A

blessing that cannot be received is equivalent to no blessing.

What is more infuriating than missing out on something that you could have.

If they don't have it, they don't have it, but Madam Sun has it and lost it. It's great, and they feel comfortable.

Madam Ji looked down on Madam Sun the most.

Madam Ji had imagined more than once that if Zhu Xuntao was a girl from their Zhao family, her daughter,

then she would not have to worry about her daughter not being able to take the position of Crown Princess.

What was the Crown Princess? The position of Empress was not necessarily that rare.

If a woman who was praised by the Emperor, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor at the same time could not stand out in the palace, who else could stand out?

Madam Ji straightened her sleeves:

"It's my turn to pay respects to the nobles. Everyone, goodbye."

Even though they were both Shangshu wives, Madam Ji's position was higher than Madam Sun's.

She was unwilling to talk to Madam Sun, and Madam Sun didn't even have the chance to talk to her.

In the past, Madam Ji would not be like this. This year, Madam Ji did not give Madam Sun any face at all.

Madam Sun blushed and was almost provoked by Madam Ji.

Madam Sun gritted her teeth and remembered that this was an important place in the imperial palace, not a place where she could cause trouble.

If she was not satisfied with being humiliated by Madam Ji today, she could only wait for the right time.

When her husband's official position was promoted and he became a higher official than Minister Zhao,

she would not need to say much, Madam Ji would kneel in front of her and pour tea to admit her fault for what happened today.

Madam Ji left, and the other ladies also stopped watching Madam Sun's show.

Madam Sun, the person involved, really knew too little. She could not understand what they were laughing at or mocking, which was so boring.

So, these people still gathered around to discuss when the banquet at the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion would be held.

Also, what exactly does Zhu Xuntao like? Let's discuss it together,

so that we can avoid not only being unable to make friends with Zhu Xuntao, but also offending Zhu Xuntao by violating his taboos. That would be bad.

The voices of the people were neither too loud nor too quiet, just enough for Madam Sun and Zhu Yingyan to hear clearly.

Madam Sun\/Zhu Yingyan: "..."

Madam Sun: It's the Yongjing Marquis' Mansion that's going to hold the banquet, not Zhu Xuntao's personal one. What is there for Zhu Xuntao to be proud of? Are

these people crazy? Instead of praising the Yongjing Marquis' Mansion, they are so fond of Zhu Xuntao?

Zhu Yingyan: The Yongjing Marquis' Mansion is going to hold a banquet?

This didn't happen in my previous life, right?

So, who came up with this banquet?

Lady Sun went to the palace to pay her respects to the nobles and wish them a happy new year. She also wanted to have a good start, so that the new year would be smooth.

But she was slapped in the face by Lady

Ji as soon as she entered the palace. Later, when she met the empress, she was hit hard by her serious and usual behavior.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back to the palace, Lady Sun couldn't help asking:

"It is said that the empress has changed her attitude and likes Zhu Xuntao very much."

"I am Zhu Xuntao's biological mother. Why does the empress treat me like this today, no different from before?"

Not to mention the preferential treatment before paying her respects, even when they met and

accepted her gift, the empress didn't bother to talk to her for a few more words.

Does the empress really like Zhu Xuntao or is she pretending to like her?

Is she pretending?

It is impossible to say that Zhu Yingyan has no thoughts about entering the palace today.

But Zhu Yingyan understands that she is proud, and the queen, as the most noble woman in the world, will only be more proud than them.

They expect the queen to look up to them because of Zhu Xuntao, but

the queen may not be willing to do so, just because...

"Mother, do you think there are still a few people in the whole capital who don't know that Zhu Xuntao has a bad relationship with her family, the Zhu Mansion?"

Not to mention others, the people of Yongqing Marquis Mansion were the first to be unable to hide it.

Zhu Yingyan figured it out. The Yongjing Marquis Mansion insisted on marrying Zhu Xuntao because they

must have known that Zhu Xuntao's bad reputation was false and everything was a misunderstanding.

How this misunderstanding came about, just think about it and you will know.

Guessing this, Zhu Yingyan also figured out why Xiao Jingzhan not only rejected her that day,

but also called her elder sister. The Yongjing Marquisate began to avoid her like snakes and scorpions. She was

clearly implicated by Zhu Xuntao!

"Although the Queen is in the deep palace, she comes from the Yongjing Marquisate."

"What happened in the mansion, how could it be hidden from the Queen?"

"The more the Queen likes Zhu Xuntao, the more normal her attitude towards us today is."

"Mother just feels that the Queen doesn't have the enthusiasm for us as she does for her in-laws. I'm afraid that this is already the best attitude the Queen can have towards us..."
