Chapter 219 They Are Afraid
The carriage that was going to pick up the Mo family stopped at the side door of the palace.
Wang, Zhuang, and Moda's wife Zhou were getting off the car.
The maids and old women standing at the door immediately came up to take down the carriage stool, helped to support it, and asked, "Madam, Happy New Year! Are you the wife of our princess's family?"
When they really arrived at the palace, Wang couldn't help but feel uneasy. She was frightened by the enthusiasm and forced a fake smile, "Do you recognize us? We are..."
"Second Madam!" Xiang Ye ran out of the door. She did nothing else today but waited for the Mo family at the second gate.
"First Madam, Second Madam. Great Grandma. Happy New Year! Xiangye is here to pay her New Year's greetings!" Xiangye was wearing the same clothes as the maids in the mansion, with a smile on her face.
"Hey, Xiangye? Is that you?" Wang didn't recognize her at first.
"Second Madam, it's a servant!"
"Oh, I can't recognize it. What is that..."
At this moment, the lady came out and was leaving...
Wang quickly stepped aside and asked Xiangye in a low voice, "Where is your princess?"
"The Queen is entertaining guests inside and asked me to wait for you at the door. Just now, the Queen sent Sister Luyi to ask if you have arrived."
"Oh. Okay, then...sister-in-law, Da Ge's wife, let's go in." Wang was so nervous that she stuttered a little.
"Please follow me!" Xiangye led them in with a smile.
"Xiangye...are there many people coming today?" Wang asked curiously in a low voice.
"So many! Just now, the Crown Princess arrived and entered through this door! Oh my god, it's so grand. I didn't dare to breathe when I saw it. I didn't even dare to move to the side..."
"Really?!" Wang and Zhuang looked at each other. Are they going to meet the Crown Princess?
They are scared!
Zhou also tightly grasped the handkerchief...
"Oh, our third young lady is here too! She was even talking to me!" Xiang Ye said happily.
Seeing Xiangye's expression, she seemed more lively than when she was at the Mo family. "Xiangye, are you familiar with this mansion?"
"It's OK... After your majesty got married, there are so many things to do, and it's the New Year, so there are things to do every day. But I really don't have much to do, just organizing your majesty's things. There are many people serving, and the sisters are capable. There is no need for me. When I have nothing to do, I can walk around the garden and meet a lot of people."
"Your mother...are you doing well?"
"Your Majesty is very good! The prince respects you very much and always takes you out. Just imagine, your Majesty can even let the fourth girl come in and live with you..." Xiang Ye looked mysterious, "If your Majesty couldn't stand steadily, would she be able to do that?"
"Really? That's good... That's good!"
Zhuang also nodded and whispered, "Don't be so nervous. Yi girl is a capable person."
Wang heaved a sigh of relief...
Walking further, the whole garden came into view, and the three of them looked around at the same time.
Although I have imagined it countless times in my mind and have "passed by" the palace several times by car, it is still different from what I see now.
This is a big garden with so many courtyards... It’s getting dark now, I’m afraid we’ll get lost.
The weather is warm today. There are little girls running and playing in the garden, and women walking and chatting around.
Wang was so excited that tears almost came out of her eyes. She never thought that the girl who was scolded by her every day could live such a life.
If I had known this earlier, I would have worshipped her...
Baimei and Luyi came over with brisk steps, "Madams, Grandma Mo!"
"It's Miss Baimei and Miss Luyi!" Wang forced another fake smile.
"Madam, Happy New Year! Our queen was wondering why you haven't come yet!"
Wang stammered, "I was delayed a little at home..."
She had already chosen her clothes and jewelry, but changed her mind in the morning, so she messed up everything. Later, Mo Ruhai came to urge her with a sullen face, and she put on the first set she had prepared.
"Miss Baimei... look at us... are we okay? Don't embarrass your queen." Wang had no confidence at all.
Luyi greeted them and then hurried off to report the news.
Bai Mei looked carefully: the color of the eldest lady's clothes was a little too dark and a little old-fashioned. But the headdress was not bad, and the combination made her look dignified. Not outstanding, but not shabby either.
What she didn't know was that the jewelry was lent to Zhuang by Liu.
Liu didn't come today, not because she didn't want to come, but because she had some private considerations: in an occasion like today, with Mo Yuan's charm, she would definitely be particularly attractive.
Who knows, a good marriage might come.
As a mother, Liu looked at herself in the mirror. Years of anxiety and depression had left her with obvious wrinkles and nasolabial folds, and she looked listless. Her hair would be messy if she didn't apply oil...
A mother with this kind of image will only lower the value of her daughter.
Mo Yuan's future is still uncertain, and as parents we cannot hold her back.
The eldest brother has an official position, and the second brother is the mother's biological father. They can also go to the palace.
But Mo Rushong... he doesn't even have any honors, yet he still wants to go to the palace!
Are you going to embarrass yourself?
Don’t you think about it…how can you be a white person when you go there?
Idiot, you don't care about your daughter at all!
Finally, not only did Liu not come, she also stopped Mo Rusong from going to the palace. Finally, she kindly lent Zhuang a set of decent jewelry. People said: This is Mo Yuan's aunt... She must look good.
How could Bai Mei know all this? After confirming Zhuang, she looked at Wang again: There was nothing wrong with Wang's clothes and appearance, but her expression... was a little timid.
Zhou was dressed in brightly coloured clothes made of good materials, with light make-up and a few pearl hairpins. She looked like a very standard young wife, with nothing wrong with her.
So, she deliberately comforted Wang: "Madam, please rest assured, you three are all dressed very well. There are no outsiders today, and Aunt Zhao is here too. When the time comes, you just need to listen to the Empress and Aunt Zhao."
At this time, Concubine Feng sent away a lady who was on good terms with her.
The two sides faced each other, and Bai Mei quickly saluted, "My Lady Concubine!"
Concubine Feng seemed a little surprised to see Bai Mei and the others, and asked in a gentle voice, "Who are these people..."
"Replying to the Concubine, this is the Princess's mother, Madam Mo Er, and her aunt, Madam Mo Da. This is the Princess's eldest sister-in-law, Grandma Mo! Madam, this is Concubine Feng from the palace."
When Wang saw Concubine Feng, she felt uneasy.
Concubine Feng was, after all, the one that Madam Zhao had carefully cultivated for several years. Her various expressions were very natural. At this moment, she was the image of a proud noblewoman.
He looked at them straight in the eyes, and nodded without saying anything. His aura was so strong that it made the Mo family members' hearts beat wildly.
Wang couldn't help but force a fake smile, but before she could say anything, Bai Mei gently supported her.
Bai Mei smiled and said, "My queen, our queen is waiting anxiously and has urged us several times. I will bring the ladies in quickly." She didn't want the Mo family to bow their heads in front of Concubine Feng.
But there are limitations on grade and home venue, so let's go.
Concubine Feng looked at Bai Mei deeply and smiled, "Go ahead."
Baimei helped Wang walk inside.
Wang exclaimed in her heart: My God, Mo Yi has to face such a concubine?
She, can she make money playing it?
Bai Mei led me forward in a daze...
Lvyi had already returned to the hall and whispered something in Mo Yi's ear.
Mo Yi also whispered to Lu Yi.
Lu Yi came back quickly, "Second Madam, our queen is talking to the Crown Princess. The queen said that the Crown Princess can't stay any longer and will leave soon. The queen wants you to drink tea on the side first, and then let the maid invite you over after the Crown Princess leaves."
"That's good, that's good." Several people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
I was so nervous when I saw the prince's concubine. If I saw the crown princess... I didn't know what to say. Actually, I was taught in advance, but now I have forgotten it. Don't make a fool of yourself.
"Let's find a place to sit for a while so we can get familiar with each other."
"I also asked the maid to look for Madam Xu San and Miss Mo Yuan. They will be here soon."
When Wang heard that her eldest daughter would be here soon, she felt even more relieved.
After sitting down in the flower hall next to the main hall, a maid immediately came over to pay her respects, brought two plates of snacks, and poured tea.
It’s been arranged, girls. Even Baimei has left.
Going up a few steps was a flower hall. The folding doors and windows were open, and a charcoal brazier was lit inside. The sunlight shone in, making it very warm.
You can overlook the garden from here... How wonderful it would be to drink tea and appreciate the flowers here during the flower season?
Wang and Zhuang looked at each other and laughed.
"Mother and aunt, what are you laughing at?" Zhou asked.
"I'm laughing... Mo Yi, can she live such a life? It's like a dream!" Wang shook her head and sighed.
"My sister is blessed and lucky, but more importantly, she is also capable." Zhou admires her very much.
I feel lucky to have such a sister-in-law...
