Chapter 1250: Fuya, come to your aunt
Everyone was thinking that since the Su family was so powerful, they might become even more prominent in the future.
If my daughter were to marry into the Su family, it would be a good match...
Because of this thought of many people, later on, Old Lady Su and Mrs. Su became the objects that the ladies of various mansions competed to make friends with.
This was very different from the day when Old Madam Su went to Prince Rong's Mansion and was left sitting on the bench.
Old Mrs. Su and Mrs. Su didn't know at this time that they had become the favorites of the other female relatives.
No, it should be said that the grandchildren of their Su family have been targeted.
Of course, even if she knew, Mrs. Su wouldn't care about it.
She was now filled with nervousness.
Mrs. Su thought about what she had just seen, the expressionless maids around the Empress...
Is it possible that she will have to experience this often in the future?
She had heard that on every major festival, the ladies of the imperial court would enter the palace to pay their respects to the Empress.
In addition, banquets would be held in the palace from time to time.
As for the noble families who often visit, they have to attend social events every few days.
Today your old lady is celebrating her birthday, tomorrow her daughter-in-law is giving birth, and there are weddings and funerals in various places...
The more Mrs. Su thought about it, the more headache she felt.
No! She should quickly find a capable wife for her son!
When the time comes, let my daughter-in-law go out to socialize...
Mrs. Su followed Old Lady Su closely and approached the octagonal pavilion.
"Mother..." Mrs. Su whispered.
His face was tense, his back straight, but his voice was trembling.
Old Lady Su: "...Eldest daughter-in-law, you have dined with the Empress Dowager."
Mrs. Su: “…”
I feel much more at ease.
When the Queen Mother saw the Su family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law approaching, a friendly expression appeared on her face.
She had been to Daliushu Village, but she lived in seclusion in the big house, only staying with her son.
Of course, when Tang Bao goes there, she becomes her happy pill.
She had never met Old Madam Su, but she did meet Mrs. Su at the door for a moment.
The Queen Mother knew everything about the Su family.
She knew that Tang Bao's elder sister-in-law loved her younger sister-in-law Tang Bao from the bottom of her heart.
Therefore, he also had a very good impression of Mrs. Su, knowing that she was a simple and kind woman.
"Your Majesty, may your Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
Old Madam Su and Mrs. Su bowed respectfully to the Empress.
The Queen smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. Please take a seat."
A palace maid immediately brought two round stools.
After thanking him, Old Lady Su sat down respectfully.
Mrs. Su lowered her head and stood behind Old Madam Su.
"Madam Su is so blessed," the Empress said with a smile. "I've long heard that your children are filial, your descendants are harmonious, and your family is full of joy and happiness. It's just like the saying goes, 'A harmonious family brings prosperity.' It's truly enviable."
Princess Ning also smiled and said, "Your Majesty is absolutely right. Putting aside other things, the fact that Madam Su has a daughter as smart and lovely as Fuya makes me jealous. I wish I could snatch her away to be my daughter!"
Upon hearing this, the Empress smiled and said, "You can't compete with me for Jinzhi. Fuya has long been adopted as my father's granddaughter."
After saying that, he glanced at Princess Ning.
Princess Ning smiled, and she understood in her heart why her own prince had just shaken his head at her.
As for whether there is any conflict between the old general adopting a granddaughter and Princess Ning adopting a daughter, Princess Ning said that she cannot ask.
When Mrs. Su heard someone praising her little girl, she was naturally happy.
I almost instinctively followed suit.
Fortunately, knowing that this was not a villager from Daliushu Village, I had to be humble.
"Your Majesty the Queen and the Princess are too kind. She is just a little girl, usually more sensible and well-behaved..."
When Mrs. Su said this, she paused and a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face.
I have really been led astray by the old man!
However, the Empress Dowager and Princess Ning did not think that Old Madam Su was showing off.
The Empress said, "That child is not only sensible and well-behaved, but also considerate, smart and capable. I have never seen a girl more precious than her."
Princess Ning nodded repeatedly and agreed with a smile.
The Empress looked at Mrs. Su again and said, "I heard from Fu Ya that your eldest son has passed the imperial examination and is a kind-hearted boy. You also have a pair of twin sons who are smart and well-behaved and have also enrolled in school."
When Mrs. Su heard this, she immediately knelt down and answered yes.
I was deeply touched.
She didn't expect that the Queen even knew about her sons and what they were doing.
Moreover, speaking to yourself specifically is a grace to yourself.
Mrs. Su felt that after returning to Daliushu Village, she could show off under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village.
The Empress looked at Old Lady Su again and said, "Jin'er was in Daliushu Village back then, thanks to your care. She had a great time playing with your children. When they come to the capital someday, I'd like to meet them."
The Queen Mother didn't know that all the grandchildren of the Su family had already arrived in Beijing.
Old Madam Su naturally wouldn't hide anything. Upon hearing this, she immediately said, "In reply to the Empress, my grandchildren arrived in the capital yesterday and are now at Prince Ning's residence to congratulate the Princess on her birthday."
By the way, because Su Laowu had to go to the Hanlin Academy in the morning, Old Man Su, Da Pan, Er Pan, and Su Chengyao, the young scholar, did not come with Tang Bao and others.
This grandfather and grandson came to Prince Ning's Mansion together waiting for Su Laowu to return from the Hanlin Academy.
It was a rare occasion for Prince Ning's Mansion to hold a banquet, and it was also the first time that Princess Ning had held a birthday banquet. In addition, there were rumors that the Emperor would also come, so many court officials rushed to the banquet after finishing their official business at various government offices.
As a result, there are many families where male and female guests do not come together.
In fact, this situation is common in the capital.
After hearing what Old Lady Su said, the Queen Mother immediately ordered someone to summon the descendants of the Su family.
The palace maid left in a hurry, and the Empress asked again, "Why is Fu Ya not here?"
After saying that, he looked outside the octagonal pavilion.
Outside the octagonal pavilion, many of the female relatives who came to the banquet now looked much more relaxed.
They gathered in groups of three or four, talking politely or affectionately.
However, everyone kept paying attention to what the Queen was doing.
At this moment, seeing some palace maids hurriedly leaving with the head maid of Prince Ning's Mansion, a hint of curiosity arose in his heart.
Tang Bao was talking to Princess Linghua and several sisters from the Wang family.
"Princess, is the Queen looking at you?" Wang Lingyue touched Tang Bao and said in a low voice.
Tang Bao looked towards the octagonal pavilion and happened to see the gentle eyes of the Queen.
"Fuya, come to your aunt!"
The Queen waved to Tang Bao.
