Chapter 254: I can only enjoy it by myself, it's too bitter
Seeing Princess Qingning leave in anger, Xu Muhua was not worried at all.
Princess Qingning didn't know, but Princess Kang knew very well what she had done. So no matter how dissatisfied and angry Princess Qingning was, Princess Kang would persuade her to swallow her anger.
I just don't know how long Princess Kang will endure before telling Princess Qingning this secret. If she doesn't make it clear, Princess Qingning's personality will explode sooner or later.
By then, she can't guarantee that she can continue to keep the secret for Princess Kang.
Alas, sometimes knowing too many secrets of others is also a kind of pressure! She can't share it with others, so she can only enjoy it by herself, it's too bitter!
After answering a few questions from the young ladies who were watching, Xu Muhua saw Pei Shaorong with her sharp eyes and immediately walked towards her with a happy face.
Pei Shaorong was late, but that was not her intention.
It was just before she left that her grandmother insisted that they bring Pei Zhen with them... She was so angry that she laughed.
Did they think that the eldest princess didn't know what was happening in the capital because she was not there?
The eldest princess had rarely returned to the capital in so many years, and it was the first time she held a banquet, but they shamelessly asked her to bring a concubine who had been scolded by the empress to the banquet... They were afraid that the eldest princess would be happy, so they couldn't wait to anger her, right?
She and her mother absolutely didn't want to bring Pei Zhen with them, but her grandmother acted like an elder, so she and her mother couldn't resist, otherwise a word of unfilial piety or disobedience would suppress them and make them unable to move.
So at this moment, Pei Shaorong's beautiful face was still covered with a layer of thin ice. But
Pei Zhen didn't care.
She didn't care whether Pei Shaorong was happy or not, anyway, she came to the Princess's Mansion today!
It stands to reason that Pei Zhen is more favored than Pei Shaorong in the Pei Mansion. She has participated in many parties and banquets in the past, but compared with Pei Shaorong's calmness, dignity and elegance, she seems much more petty!
After coming in, she looked around all the way, and her face couldn't hide her ambition, as if she was afraid that others couldn't see why she came to the Princess's Mansion.
"Arong!"
A cheerful voice drew Pei Zhen's attention back. She subconsciously took a look and her expression changed immediately. She stared at Xu Muhua with hatred.
It was only when Xu Muhua approached that she noticed Pei Zhen beside Pei Shaorong. She was immediately surprised. She pulled Pei Shaorong aside and asked in a seemingly low voice, but in fact, everyone nearby could hear it: "Why did you bring your concubine sister here? She was scolded by the Empress before. How embarrassing! The Princess rarely returns to Beijing to hold a banquet. Why did the Pei Mansion let such a person come? Isn't this a slap
in the face of the Princess?" Pei Shaorong's face was covered with a layer of ice. The frost melted in an instant, her eyes softened, her lips slightly raised and then straightened in time, her eyebrows slightly frowned, there was some helplessness between her brows, and she shook her head gently: "Grandmother insisted that I take her with me."
These days, Mrs. Pei has been silent until today when she was about to leave and forced Pei Zhen in, asking Mrs. Pei to take her with her, saying that Pei Zhen is also her daughter, and as a legitimate mother, she should take her own children out for social events.
In this way, even if Master Pei knew about it, there would be nothing she could do. The banquet at the Princess's Mansion cannot be late, and it is even more impossible to suddenly not go, so Pei Zhen can only be taken with her.
Mrs. Pei's idea was obviously successful. Mrs. Pei had to suppress her disgust and bring Pei Zhen to the Princess's Mansion to attend the banquet.
However, as soon as she came in, Mrs. Pei met a lady she was very close to, and she started to socialize with her. Let Pei Shaorong take Pei Zhen to play with young ladies of the same age.
Pei Shaorong was also affected by Mrs. Pei's behavior, but Xu Muhua's action made her mood better immediately.
The eyes of the people around her looking at Pei Zhen immediately changed, full of contempt and ridicule.
Pei Zhen's face flushed red, and she subconsciously wanted to open her mouth and curse. But when the words came to her lips, she remembered that this was the Princess's Mansion, and it was not her turn to be presumptuous, so she could only hold the words back.
However, Pei Zhen reacted quickly. In the blink of an eye, her expression changed, and she was about to cry, like a poor little thing who was bullied and wronged. "I'm sorry, I, I shouldn't have come, I shouldn't have agreed to my grandmother. I only thought about my grandmother's kindness, nothing else..."
Xu Muhua almost laughed.
Come on, pushing the problem to Madam Pei can indeed clear Pei Zhen, but in this case, Madam Pei is wrong.
A bastard granddaughter, and a lowly thing that has been scolded by the Empress. Do you have to show your kindness when the princess is hosting a banquet? What do you think of the princess?
Pei Shaorong also smiled.
It turns out that she was raised by an aunt and cannot be shown on the stage.
Pei Shaorong has no feelings for Madam Pei, but in front of outsiders, she still has to put on a show.
She sighed softly, full of helplessness, "Yes, grandma is a very kind elder. She must love my sister very much and hold her in the palm of her hand."
"Arong, don't speak well of them. Do you really think we don't know the situation of Pei Mansion?"
Lu Yingzhu squeezed away the daughter who was blocking the way in front of her, strode to Pei Shaorong's side and took her hand, and rolled her eyes at Pei Zhen.
She was most annoyed by these illegitimate children. Looking at the whole capital, there were few who were content with their duties. They were thinking about how to snatch things that didn't belong to them all day long and make trouble.
Some people are just too greedy and can't abide by their duties, so there are so many disputes in the world.
Pei Shaorong looked at her with pleading eyes and shook her head gently.
Lu Yingzhu had a look of disappointment.
Xu Muhua stepped forward at the right time, "Okay, okay, now that everyone is here, Arong, as an elder sister, must not abandon her sister to play. Just let her tag along. Today is a rare banquet hosted by the princess, and we can't ruin the mood for people who are not worthy." "
Muhua is right!"
It was just to let Pei Zhen tag along, but if no one paid attention to her, it would make her a thousand times more uncomfortable than letting her act alone! Following behind with her head down, like a maid! But her dress didn't look like a maid, and was even more gorgeous than some legitimate daughters. Everyone
secretly pouted in their hearts, and they were extremely puzzled by Lord Pei. They didn't understand why Lord Pei doted on a concubine like a lunatic.
If it weren't for the presence of Master Pei, Lord Pei would probably favor his concubine over his wife!
However, Pei Zhen had participated in many parties in the past, and had gained something from them.
