"Master, there is a banquet at General Chen Yi's house tonight. Do you want to go?" When Xu Chuchu walked to the door, she heard her mother's voice asking her father. She felt a little curious in her heart. Banquet, what kind of banquet deserves her mother's attention.
"You also know that she is General Chen Yi's daughter. How can I not go to the banquet for her who has returned victorious from the battlefield?" If it was any other banquet, she would not want to go, but this was General Chen Yi's daughter who had returned from pacifying the Tufan people. General Chen Yi specially held a banquet for this purpose. If he didn't go, wouldn't he be giving General Chen Yi no face? So he knew very well that he had to go this time.
Xu Chuchu was surprised to hear her parents say this outside the door. General Chen Yi's daughter, if she remembered correctly, Chen Yalan was General Chen Yi's daughter. Thinking that Chen Yalan had not been in the palace during this period, Xu Chuchu suddenly had a very bold idea in her mind.
"Father, Mother, what party are you talking about?" Xu Chuchu walked into the room and asked her parents in a hoarse voice.
Since Xu Chuchu failed in her last attempt to frame Lin Xiangru and ended up being poisoned, her throat was almost ruined. Since then, she has been hiding in her palace every day, looking a little decadent, but others don't know that she is trying to find a way to recover her throat. After a while, she finally found some ways, so at this moment she can speak a few words, but her voice is a little hoarse.
Seeing her daughter speak, the Shangshu's wife felt distressed: "My dear daughter, please speak less and protect your throat."
Rather than feeling distressed, she hoped Xu Chuchu could return to normal and regain the emperor's favor.
Hearing her mother's concern for her, Xu Chuchu nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother, I will take good care of myself. What party were you talking about just now? Can I go?"
Xu Chuchu was not so arrogant towards her parents. The main reason was that she knew that it was because of her father's identity that she was able to enter the palace, and her current position in the palace was quite embarrassing, so she had to rely on her father's status to consolidate her favor.
The Shangshu did not refuse his daughter's request to attend the dinner at General Chen Yi's residence with him. In his opinion, his daughter was the emperor's concubine, and being able to attend General Chen Yi's dinner was giving General Chen Yi face.
So the group arrived at the general's mansion.
Chen Yalan was quite surprised by Xu Chuchu's arrival. She didn't expect that someone who should have been in the palace would suddenly appear at the celebration banquet held by her father for her.
At the gate of the general's mansion, Xu Chuchu accompanied her father into the general's mansion. She raised her noble head and felt that everyone here should be stepped on by her.
Knowing the importance of this dinner, Xu Chuchu was very careful about her appearance today. Moreover, she also had an idea in her mind that she wanted to confirm whether it was true, so she also wanted to dress better and let others know that she was quite favored in the palace.
When the maid at the door saw Xu Chuchu coming with the Shangshu, she called her the Shangshu's daughter. Unexpectedly, her words made Xu Chuchu unhappy.
"Useless thing, you are indeed a lowly creature, so uncultured." Although she used to be the Shangshu's daughter, but now she is the emperor's concubine. This maid actually calls herself the Shangshu's daughter. What does this mean?
So Xu Chuchu couldn't bear it any longer and started to curse at the maid at the door. Her voice was hoarse and unpleasant, which scared the maid. After hearing what she was scolding, the maid was a little confused. She came with the Shangshu Lord, so what else could she be but the Shangshu Miss?
But at this moment she knew that nothing she said would be of any use except to apologize to this person, so she immediately knelt on the ground and apologized to Xu Chuchu.
Chen Yalan, who was standing by, came over immediately after seeing this and said, "What's going on? Lady Xu, why are you so obsessed with this one maid? She doesn't know your identity, which is not normal. Who would have thought that a concubine like you could actually leave the palace to attend a dinner party?"
What Chen Yalan said made sense. Even if Xu Chuchu didn't want to give her face, she had to consider her own reputation and give up.
Just as Chen Yalan said, she was the emperor's concubine and should have been in the palace, but she suddenly appeared here. She did not appear in the public eye as a concubine. How could she blame the maid for not recognizing her at this moment?
However, after seeing Chen Yalan, she understood in her heart that some things seemed to be exactly the same as what she thought.
In order to avoid making her reputation look bad, Xu Chuchu snorted coldly and turned to go into the general's mansion.
I thought the matter would end there, but I didn't expect that after Xu Chuchu entered the courtyard, she would take advantage of her status to point fingers at the maids and her demands were not high.
"What is this? Tea is for people to drink. I'm a noble in the harem, and you're using this to treat me? Why don't you go change it for me?"
"Pah, how can this snack be so disgusting? I'm just a royal concubine, and you treat me like this."
Several maids were quite dissatisfied with Xu Chuchu's pickyness, but if they thought about Xu Chuchu's identity, they didn't dare to say anything and could only let her do as she pleased.
"How can she be like this? Even if she is the emperor's concubine, she cannot give orders here." The general's wife was a little dissatisfied. If Xu Chuchu was the emperor's concubine, then her daughter was also the emperor's concubine. Moreover, this was not Xu Chuchu's home. What qualifications did Xu Chuchu have to give orders in her own home?
General Chen Yi, who was standing by, shook his head when he heard what his wife said. He somewhat agreed with what his wife said, but after all, she was a girl, and he couldn't come out and insult her.
"Forget it, let her be. She's just a little picky. As long as she doesn't cause trouble, it's fine." General Chen Yi knew that Xu Chuchu was the emperor's concubine after all, so he had to give her some face no matter what.
However, what no one expected was that instead of being grateful for General Chen Yi's several attempts at tolerance, Xu Chuchu became even more picky.
Just when Xu Chuchu was once again scolding a maid, Chen Yalan finally couldn't stand it anymore and stood up: "Lady Xu, since your demands are quite high, then please return to the palace. I'm afraid my house can't accommodate you anymore."
What? Xu Chuchu's face looked a little ugly. She didn't expect that Chen Yalan would actually stand up and drive her away.
