"Oh my god, Miss Yun? I was wondering which family she was from, how come I've never seen her before?"
Chaoge got off the carriage and handed Xiang the invitation. When the servant at the door called out the name of the distinguished guest, the Prime Minister's wife looked at Chaoge who was slowly approaching and reacted with surprise.
Although Chaoge's clothes yesterday were not ordinary, the style of the clothes was definitely not expensive, and her hair was casually tied up, with a golden hairpin given by Yunchang during the New Year. She didn't put on any lipstick or draw any eyebrows.
Although she was pretty, as elegant and refined as a lotus emerging from water, that beauty was all based on her body after marrow cleansing, the temperament she exuded, and her increasingly refined facial features.
But today, she was dressed up and had decent makeup. On top of her good looks, she had her hair retouched a little more, and her temperament was completely different from yesterday.
The prime minister's wife, who was not familiar with her, looked at her at first glance and wondered when did the capital city have such a beauty? However, she did not see Chaoge's low-key figure yesterday in this beauty.
"You are polite, Madam Prime Minister."
"Ah, ah, ah, you are worthy of being the girl that Concubine Qing treats as her own daughter. Come, come, come with me. You are the only one missing. Don't be so reserved.
Today, I have invited many noble ladies and wives from the capital, and even the imperial concubine is here!"
"oh?"
"Are you curious? Even she is here?"
Chaoge nodded. Based on her understanding of her mother-in-law, she usually would not bother to attend such a banquet.
"That's not the case. It was my wife who said you would come today, so I dared to send her a message. I didn't expect that the concubine would really come!"
So that's how it is. Maybe it was because of the scene at Cheng Baozhai yesterday. Her mother-in-law was afraid that she would be bullied by these people, so she came to support her, right?
"Toffee is really something. I'm not a child anymore. Why am I still like this?"
"Ah, Concubine Dowager is worried about you. Oh, by the way, let me introduce you, this is my little daughter, Liang Yuanyuan."
"Hello, Miss Yun. Have we met somewhere before? Why do I feel like Miss Yun is familiar? But I can't remember where it is at the moment."
Yesterday there was a Qiu Yuanyuan, and today the Prime Minister's wife's little daughter is also called Yuanyuan? I just wonder if she has the same character as Qiu Yuanyuan?
"Oh, it's been a few months since I first arrived in the capital. Maybe I saw him on the street."
Chaoge would never admit that they had met in Yuefeng Restaurant. She had not forgotten that when she first met Leng Zhenzhen, Leng Zhenzhen poisoned her for a big lobster and wanted to kill her. She also put some medicine powder in Leng Zhenzhen's companions. At that time, the prime minister's wife's youngest daughter, Liang Yuanyuan, was also present.
"No! I remember!"
Chaoge!
How come this woman has such a good memory? Maybe they haven't even fought head-on? How come she still remembers it?
"Oh? Yuanyuan, when did you meet Miss Yun?"
"When I was in the first grade of the new year, I was boating on the lake with a few other girls. I saw Miss Yun from a distance. At that time..."
Chaoge!
So she was also in the same group as Princess Lina? If this woman dared to target me today, I would be sorry. Don't blame her as a guest for attacking her.
"Oh! Stop talking, don't be like Qiu Yuanyuan and Zhong Qin, that idiot. This is someone that Concubine Qing treats like her own daughter. Even if she is close to the Regent, she is loved by Concubine Qing and the Regent. Don't be like those idiots who don't even realize they are being used by others."
The Prime Minister's wife is worthy of being the Prime Minister's wife. Apart from her status as a first-rank imperial minister, she didn't care at all even when she was praising Chaoge, and she dragged those two young ladies to trample on them.
The smile on Chaoge's face remained, but his heart was colorful.
"Mother, I am not that kind of person. Just as you said, Miss Yun is excellent, which is why she caught the eye of the Concubine Dowager and the Regent!"
As she spoke, Liang Yuanyuan reached out and took Chaoge's hand. The two of them seemed like old friends who had known each other for a long time and were extremely familiar with each other.
Liang Yuanyuan, who was so outgoing, made Chaoge feel a little uncomfortable.
Liang Yuanyuan suddenly leaned close to Chaoge's ear and whispered, "I remember the first time we met was at Yuefeng Restaurant."
Chaoge!
Feeling Chaoge's sudden pause, Liang Yuanyuan quickly stood up, pulled Chaoge and continued to move forward as if nothing had happened!
This Liang Yuanyuan is really something! However, her temperament seems to be a little different from that of Princess Lina's little Baihua. She is straightforward. No wonder she and Leng Zhenzhen didn't get along at Yuefeng Restaurant that day.
"This is my eldest daughter-in-law, Shi. I also have a younger son who is already twenty years old and has not yet been engaged. I also have an older daughter who is about to get married."
Chaoge looked at Shi and nodded at her with a smile. Shi was in her twenties, with a round and plump apple face, fair skin with a little makeup, willow-shaped eyebrows and curved almond eyes. She smiled at Chaoge with sweet dimples on both sides of her mouth. She looked like a beautiful and blessed woman.
"The Prime Minister's wife is so blessed. Her daughter is so well-behaved, and her daughter-in-law is so sweet, gentle and peaceful."
In such occasions, it was nothing more than some polite words, but these were also the advantages that Chaoge saw in the two of them. Even though he was praising them, there was no exaggeration at all.
This statement made the three of them smile.
"When I met Miss Yun yesterday, I knew that she was a person of temperament, but I didn't expect that she would speak like this."
Thinking about how Chaoge was fierce yesterday and how she started fighting over a disagreement, and now seeing how Chaoge is dignified, smiling without showing her teeth, and taking small and graceful steps, if the Prime Minister's wife had not seen it with her own eyes, she would have almost thought that Chaoge was a gentle and quiet lady from some wealthy family!
As they were talking, they had walked through a corridor, passed a fish pond, passed through a moon-shaped arch, and arrived at a plum garden filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms.
As soon as he came in, Chaoge felt his black jade quickly absorbing the plant essence of the plum blossoms here.
He didn't have this feeling on the road, but now that the black jade was here, it pressed against his skin and began to emit a warm breath. In this plum garden covered with snow, Chaoge suddenly didn't feel the cold anymore.
I have rarely used black jade recently, and it only contains eight-tenths of the plant essence. But there are many plants at home, and the black jade never absorbs it actively. It will only automatically absorb a little unless there is really nothing left.
Just as Chaoge was enjoying the plum blossoms of various colors in the garden, Liang Yuanyuan, who had been holding her arm and never let go, suddenly raised her voice a few notches.
"I was wondering if it looked so familiar. It turns out that the headdress Miss Yun is wearing is the same one that appeared at the auction that day! You know, that headdress belongs to Master Xiao. It's a complete set. It's really rare!"
