"Sister-in-law, how can this be possible? You know that the emperor held this palace banquet entirely because of you and my elder brother."
Hearing this, Rong Zhihe, who often attended palace banquets, quickly agreed:
"Yes, yes, yes, you are the one on the field tomorrow. If you don't even take your appearance seriously, they might point fingers at you in front of you!"
"I'm telling you, you have to take it seriously tomorrow. It's not just about dressing up. This palace banquet also requires music, chess, poetry, and painting. If you don't know how to do these, everyone will probably just laugh at you secretly. It's natural."
Jian Xiu: “…” Doesn’t her face show that she can’t play the piano, chess, poetry, or paint?
But she was too lazy to explain all this. She didn't care about the palace banquet at all.
Even if she hasn't participated in it, at least she has heard of it, right?
"Isn't it? I was planning to teach my sister-in-law some simple zither skills in the next two days. There is definitely no zither skills at this palace banquet. As for poetry, only the ladies from wealthy families can really do it."
"It's understandable if my sister-in-law doesn't know how to do it. After all, my sister-in-law is famous for her martial arts. Reciting poems is something that only scholars do..."
Chi Zijin didn't continue talking because she realized that if she continued, she might not be able to make up for it.
Her words were meant to be complimentary, but when she said them out loud, it seemed to become more distant.
"You don't have to worry, you just need to dress them up, and as for me, just buy me one or two sets of clothes!"
Jian Xiu spoke again, with a tone that sounded like the final word.
Seeing this, everyone wanted to say a few more words, but swallowed their words.
.....................................................................................................................
The next day.
Whether it was a teahouse or a restaurant, as long as there were many people, they would discuss the palace banquet.
Just like this time...
"You said that An Ning County Magistrate is nothing but a country woman. Even if General Zhang said it was true yesterday, she went to attend this kind of palace banquet. Isn't she going to make a fool of herself?"
"Isn't it? If you ask me, she just loves to be in the limelight. At a palace banquet like this, who can't play a melody? Even if she can't, she can speak eloquently. What do you think a country woman like her knows?"
Another woman couldn't help but speak up and agree.
"You can't say that. If someone can achieve so many military merits, she must have some extraordinary qualities."
Hearing the voice, everyone looked up and saw a woman dressed in a calm manner walking towards them.
Seeing this, everyone stood up and said, "It turns out that Madam 뀘 is here. It's so rare."
"Madam, come here quickly!"
As soon as the woman came up, everyone rushed to point to the position next to them.
They all hope that the lady they are talking about can sit next to them.
You have to know that her husband is in charge of the entire Shangshu and the Shangshu Ling, the highest official in the Shangshu Province, not to mention the status of his wife.
In the past, their husbands asked them to spend more time with this lady.
But this lady never went out all day, so it was even more impossible for them to get close to her.
This is a rare opportunity, so they naturally have to curry favor with him.
Shu Qinglan knew that she would be treated like this when she came out, and she really enjoyed it.
She had thought about it during the day, but her husband Jinghong didn't seem to like it.
In order to maintain her daily virtuousness, she never participated in these topics or gatherings with these dignitaries.
Sometimes Jinghong felt guilty and asked her to come out, but in order to maintain appearances, she still didn't come out.
The reason she came out today was entirely because she was a little upset about things happening in the mansion.
I thought that bitch had clearly been sent to the countryside by me, and I thought she would never have the chance to return to Beijing in this lifetime.
Unexpectedly, that old man Jinghong suddenly ordered someone to let her return to Beijing.
Looking at her bright and beautiful face, Shu Qinglan couldn't help but think of her mother, Feng Feihe.
They were obviously good sisters, and Jinghong was the one she fell in love with first, so why did he marry her, Feng Feihe, in the end?
What is her basis?
It’s funny to think about it, they say that the two of them are in love with each other.
That's just a lie. Do you really think that Shu Qinglan is easy to fool?
To be honest, she is just brighter and prettier. What qualifications does she have to compete with her for Feng Jinghong?
Fortunately, God had a vision and the baby was born in a difficult birth, so the daughter died in the world.
At this time, she would naturally take advantage of the opportunity.
After she became Jinghong's second wife, the first thing she did was to use Duan to drive Ji Qingqing Yisi back to the countryside.
If it weren't for Wang Jinghong's insistence, there would be no such person as Wang Yisi in this world.
She would kill herself on her way back to the countryside.
Shu Qinglan couldn't tolerate anything Feng Feihe left behind.
Think about it carefully.
I have to say that this is a good life. At that time, I didn't know who was by her side to protect her and return home.
Otherwise, she would have died long ago.
Seeing that she was keeping to herself in the country, these people did not insist that she disappear.
Now that I think about it, Jinghong was the only one who protected her.
If she didn't want to leave that bitch Feng Feihe, why would she suddenly summon her back to Beijing?
And all these things were done without telling me.
Just thinking about it makes me feel suffocated.
No, I came here directly.
Who knew that this time, I heard people discussing that bitch Jian Xiu again.
Everyone in the capital city is familiar with the names Jian Xiu and Zhang Zixuan.
It can be said that these two are the two most powerful upstarts in the capital.
"What? Are you discussing the incident in Anning County?" Shu Qinglan asked after sitting down.
Because of her status, even when she was sitting, her waist was very straight.
Even though she hated Jian Xiu in her heart, she only hated her behind closed doors.
In front of these people, she still has to show her greatness.
You know, before coming out here today, she listened to Yisi and Jinghong talking about Jian Xiu's deeds in Quanyong County.
The more I listened, the more upset I became.
It was not until today that she found out that the little bitch Yisi had such a connection with Jian Xiu.
Thinking of Chi Zijin again, if Shu Qinglan said she was not panicking, she would be lying.
Look, it came out directly.
What she didn't expect was that when she came out to listen, the topic was still about that bitch Jian Xiu.
