Chapter 1047 Eavesdropping

While Wanwan was thinking, she heard two people's soft voices coming from the side. Wanwan then saw that there were two people whispering at the base of the city wall under her feet.

The attire of these two people is quite solemn; they should be the ladies who came to the palace to attend the banquet today.

The lady's clothes were gorgeous, but the colors were a little dull. Lu Xingwan had not actually studied the material of the clothes, but the texture of the lady's clothes did not look top-notch.

I guess her husband's official rank is not high.

She knew that at this palace banquet, besides some people who wanted to curry favor, there were also some people who wanted to hide themselves deliberately.

Yes, if your husband is not a high-ranking official and his clothes are rather fancy, it would probably arouse suspicion among others.

In comparison, her daughter's clothes were more gorgeous, forming a sharp contrast with her mother.

But what Wanwan noticed was not the clothes of the mother and daughter.

But now the woman's eyes were like a fox spying on its prey in the dark, full of calculation.

The woman was the same. Although she was talking to the woman in front of her, her eyes were full of disdain.

Seeing the two of them acting sneakily, Lu Xingwan sat on the wall, ready to listen to what they were planning.

Today's palace banquet was really lively.

Today she just listened to gossips everywhere, which was a very happy thing.

Her gaze returned to the mother and daughter in front of her. Judging from the girl's age, she should be about the same age as herself, or a little older.

But the lady, as if afraid that the woman would run away, grabbed her hand, leaned forward, huddled together with the woman, and whispered in a low voice.

After all, Wanwan had excellent hearing, and what the two of them said reached her ears accurately.

"You have the opportunity to enter the palace and meet your sister today. You must perform well." The lady deliberately lowered her voice, and her tone was full of warning to the woman.

Sister? The person living in Wenying Palace seems to be Concubine Lin, the mother of the fifth sister.

Come to think of it, the fifth sister is already married now, how could her younger sister be so young?

For a moment, Lu Xingwan couldn't remember who was living in the Wenying Palace.

The woman's tone was full of impatience when she spoke: "Mother, I get it, you just want me to please Sister Yue!"

At this point, Lu Xingwan suddenly realized that Sister Yue was actually Concubine Yue.

It seems that Concubine Yue is the biological mother of the Seventh Prince.

Thinking of the Seventh Prince, Wanwan couldn't help but roll her eyes. When she thought of the day when he helped the Seventh Princess to bear false witness outside the palace, she felt a little angry.

In her impression, Concubine Yue was a very good person. How could she have educated her child to be so useless?

As the woman in front of her spoke, the description of Yuepin also unfolded in Wanwan's mind.

She remembered that it was described in the storybook that Yuepin's current mother was the second wife her father married.

Perhaps because Yuepin's brother was a man, the stepmother was relatively normal to her brother, but it was different for Yuepin who lived in the inner house.

It was common for her to beat, scold and criticize Yuepin when her brother was not at home.

Isn’t there a folk saying that goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather?

Yuepin's father never cared about this matter in the past.

In his eyes, since he had married a second wife, he was his daughter's mother, and it was normal for her to educate his daughter.

In addition, with the constant whispering from her second wife, Yuepin's father became even more disappointed in her.

Fortunately, in this family, Yuepin's brother still protects her.

I don’t know whether Concubine Yue was extremely charming or extremely lucky, but she was chosen to enter the palace during the beauty pageant.

To others, Wanwan would feel that being chosen to be a concubine in the palace was actually unfortunate.

But for Yuepin's family background, Wanwan felt that Yuepin had escaped from the devil's den.

If I were the head of a family, I wouldn’t know which family I would be assigned to.

After all, my father is wise, great, and quite handsome.

Although I am old now...

Moreover, since she entered the palace, her family members no longer dared to treat her the same way as before, especially her stepmother.

But since then, she has drawn a clear line between herself and that cold family.

Today, it seems that it was this palace banquet that made Madam Zheng have new ideas.

There was a hint of disdain in Lu Xingwan's eyes as he looked at the lady.

Sure enough, as Wanwan expected, the lady's next words confirmed Wanwan's thoughts.

When she spoke again, the lady reached out her hand and nodded the woman's head, her eyes full of disappointment: "You are just a bunch of clumsy people all day long."

"Mother, if you have anything to say, just say it. Why do you have to scold me in the palace?"

Lu Xingwan raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't expect her daughter to be such a tough person.

Of course, she vented all her emotions on Concubine Yue, but she ended up giving birth to such a daughter.

For some reason, Lu Xingwan felt that things were becoming more and more exciting.

"Your father is only a fourth-rank military officer. With your status, you cannot enter the palace no matter what."

"Today, His Majesty has shown mercy and allowed the families of all officials in the capital to enter the palace to attend the public banquet, so you have this opportunity."

After saying this, she raised her head and looked in the direction of Wenying Palace, her eyes full of resentment: "But Zheng Yue is so ungrateful. She has been in the palace for so many years, but she has never given any help to the family."

In her eyes, the reason why the family of Duke Dingguo has its current status is because Song Qingyan is favored by His Majesty in the palace, which is why His Majesty is so partial to the family of Duke Dingguo.

And her husband was a fourth-rank general from beginning to end, which must be because Zheng Yue did not mediate.

Zheng Yue gave birth to your Majesty's last prince. The seventh prince should be the one that your Majesty values ​​the most.

If she really wanted to fight for it and make some contributions to the family, how could she be limited to being a concubine?

The Imperial Noble Consort only gave birth to Princess Yong'an, but she was able to be named the Imperial Noble Consort. If Zheng Yue had been more capable, she might have been a concubine or a noble consort by now.

But now is not the time to complain about these things.

The reason why she brought her daughter into this palace today was to give her more opportunities.

Thinking of this, her tone softened: "Today I will take you to her palace. You must try to please her and not conflict with her."

Her daughter was born after Zheng Yue entered the palace, and the two of them had never actually met each other.

"You will have more opportunities to enter the palace in the future. You can go to Qingyun Palace with her more often so that you can meet Duke Tong'an."

After hearing what Mrs. Zheng said, Lu Xingwan almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
