Chapter 903 Secret (2)
When Madam Lu and Lu Wan'er were frozen, they heard a chuckle from the other side, saying, "The princess is truly a person of temperament. Prince Rui is young, but he values love and friendship. He is a rare man in this world."
Shen Miao looked towards the person who was speaking. She was sitting next to Ji Yushu's mother, a rather thin lady. She wore a tea-colored embroidered dress, her complexion slightly darker, and her eyebrows were straight, though sunken due to age, making her look somewhat unapproachable. Her eyes were somewhat long, and when she looked at people, they seemed to be studying them, as if she wanted to see through them. This made people feel a little uncomfortable, and one could tell at a glance that she was a shrewd and serious person.
Bajiao took the opportunity to refill the tea with Shen Miao and quietly leaned over to whisper in her ear, “This is Madam Ye from the Prime Minister’s Mansion.”
With just one sentence, Shen Miao understood. The Ye family was a literary family, and the Lu family was a martial family. This Madam Ye must be from the legendary Ye family, one of the two great families of Longye and Ye. Unlike the Lu family, who were somewhat arrogant and outspoken, this Madam Ye seemed much more restrained than Madam Lu, which also made Shen Miao feel that she would be more difficult to deal with.
Madam Ye looked at Shen Miao and suddenly smiled and said, “Prince Rui and his wife have a very close relationship. It seems that when the royal family goes hunting in a few days, the princess will also go with them.”
Shen Miao smiled and said, "I need to discuss this with His Highness." She couldn't just talk to him casually. The people in the room at Caixia's banquet today were probably all up to no good, so she couldn't afford to take it lightly.
"The princess has just arrived and doesn't know the fun of hunting in the imperial city. There are many interesting things to do, and the princess can probably join in the fun." Mrs. Ye continued.
Madam Lu and Lu Wan'er remained silent. They were already very unhappy with Shen Miao's obstruction today. Now that Madam Ye was speaking, they had no intention of joining in.
Shen Miao looked at Madam Ye, and she actually wanted to force her to agree to the hunting idea.
Madam Ji, who was sitting next to Madam Ye, smiled and said, "Please don't push Princess Rui. She's still young, and as Madam Ye said, she's new here, so I'm afraid she's still a little shy. The hunting grounds are full of old acquaintances, so naturally she'll have to be considerate."
But he took the initiative to help Shen Miao out of the predicament.
Shen Miao looked over in surprise, but Madam Ji smiled and nodded at her.
Madam Ji’s husband was the current Left Prime Minister, and his official position was not low, so other ladies would naturally not refute her words. When Madam Ye heard this, she did not dare to be aggressive anymore, and just looked at Shen Miao inquiringly, causing Shen Miao to frown slightly.
The Colorful Summer Banquet passed indifferently. Lu Wan'er, perhaps furious with Shen Miao, immediately turned and left. The remaining Madam Lu also treated Shen Miao indifferently. Since Madam Lu was the host of the Colorful Summer Banquet, the other ladies naturally followed her lead, deliberately leaving Shen Miao aside.
However, Shen Miao had been ignored quite a bit in Ming Qi when she was young, so she didn't take it to heart. While drinking tea, she listened to Ba Jiao secretly explaining the relationship between the ladies to her, and secretly memorized it in her heart. These neglects not only did not affect her, but instead made her remember the relationship between these people more fully.
When she left, naturally, no one came to see her off. When she was about to get on the carriage, she was unexpectedly stopped by someone.
When I turned around, it was Mrs. Ji.
Ji Yushu's mother was a dignified and kind person, and her appearance was somewhat similar to Ji Yushu. She looked at Shen Miao and smiled, "Yu'er told me that when she was in Mingqi Dingjing, she was very grateful to the princess for her care. Today, I am here to express my gratitude to the princess on Yu'er's behalf."
Shen Miao was embarrassed and kept saying that she dared not. In the final analysis, it was she who had used Ji Yushu's Fengxian Pawnshop to accomplish many things.
