Chapter 311 Hard Work
How can a person who has accomplished great things care too much about these small matters?
After hearing what the Prince Consort of Prince Qi said, Hu and Ma looked at each other and couldn't help but grumble in their hearts.
In the past, the Qi Prince's Consort had the worst temper. She would always speak the harshest words when something happened and would not give face to anyone. But she seemed like a different person in recent times?
I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd...
However, no matter how confused he was, since he had to rely on the Prince of Qi's Consort for survival, he naturally had to listen to her, only then would he be able to reap the rewards in the future.
"Yes." Hu and Ma agreed readily and accompanied the Princess of Qi to the pavilion nearby to sit and talk.
Jiang Mixia was still chatting with Princess Fu and several wives of officials, and was not paying attention to anything else.
The banquet ended in the evening, and when Jiang Mixia got home, Song Jingyun had already returned.
"You leave office early today." Jiang Mixia took the bowl of sour plum soup handed over by Song Jingyun.
The iced sour plum soup is sweet and sour, appetizing and can relieve heat. After drinking a bowl of it, the heat in my body seems to have completely disappeared, and I feel very comfortable.
"After finishing our work today, Lord Tang told us to go back early." Song Jingyun said with a smile, "I came back early today, but you came back so late from the banquet?"
"The flower viewing banquet held by Princess Fu was grand and there were many guests. There was no time to talk during the banquet, so we talked a few words when we were leaving. This delayed some time."
Jiang Mixia said, "However, the flower viewing banquet of Princess Fu was originally organized by Princess Fu herself because she likes to be lively and willing to make connections, giving the ladies in the capital a chance to meet each other. This opportunity to make connections has nothing to do with me, but the ladies of various families are willing to pull me aside and ask a few questions, which makes me not know how to answer."
The relationships in the capital are complicated and intertwined. If you hit her with a brick, you might find that all of them are relatives. If you say something in this direction, the person who doesn't get along with her will bear a grudge against her. If you say something unfavorable, people who have a good relationship with her will regard you as an enemy.
The difficulty of social interaction in the harem is no less than that of official struggles, and it is even more intense than official struggles.
"I'm sorry, my lady." Song Jingyun's face was full of heartache and shame. "My lady has worked so hard for me."
The purpose of socializing in the harem is nothing more than to make the men's official career more successful. Song Jingyun understands this truth and is even more aware of Jiang Mixia's hard work.
Seeing Song Jingyun say this, Jiang Mixia felt warm in her heart, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Isn't it a bit awkward to say these things between husband and wife?"
"This is not being polite, but my duty. As a husband, I have to understand my wife's hard work." Song Jingyun shook Jiang Mixia's hand, "Yes, I'm going to the banquet at the Princess Fu's place today. Have you invited the Princess Yue?"
"The Princess of Fu mentioned this matter today, saying that she had specially sent an invitation, but the Princess of Yue said that she was ill and did not come, so she only sent the Princess of Yue to come." Jiang Mixia said, "But I heard someone mention it at the banquet today. I saw the Princess of Yue yesterday. She didn't seem to be unwell. I guess the Princess of Yue just didn't want to come."
The dispute between Prince Fu and Prince Yue was widely known in the capital, and Jiang Mixia had also heard about it.
"How did the Crown Princess of Yue perform today?" Song Jingyun asked.
"How was the performance..." Jiang Mixia paused, thinking carefully, "I have been accompanying Princess Fu and the others today, and I didn't pay much attention."
