Yes, Mu Lingming is nothing in Jian Xiu's eyes, but in the eyes of these officials, he is the prince.
The crown prince, as the name suggests, is the person who will inherit the throne in the future.
We naturally have to curry favor with them.
"County Princess An Ning is here!"
The crowd didn't know who said this, and they all gathered around.
At this time, Zhang Feixuan and Zhang Feiyi were already reciting poems and composing couplets in the Imperial Garden.
With our current status, we won't be bullied.
The most important thing is that not only Zhang Yi and others are following us, but Chi Jinzhong has also sent Chi Yi and Chi Xiao to be with us.
He was the guard of Pingyuan Marquis Mansion. Who in the whole capital city didn’t know Pingyuan Marquis Mansion?
Seeing people coming towards Jian Xiu, Chi Zijin and Fang Yisi hurried over to greet them.
Knowing that Jian Xiu and Mu Ling had something to say, Chi Zijin and Fang Yisi tactfully did not follow them.
But it’s different now. No matter how powerful Jian Xiu is, she has never participated in a palace banquet.
However, Jian Xiu thought the same thing as Chi Zijin.
Seeing the women surrounding him, Jian Xiu's first thought was business opportunities.
There's nothing she can do about it, who made her like money so much?
So he deliberately asked Chi Zijin: "Zijin, the rouge on your face..."
Chi Jesus: “…” Sister-in-law, you really never forget to promote the workshop.
Of course, it was true that she rolled her eyes, but she naturally understood the meaning behind Jian Xiu's words.
So without thinking, he took out a box of rouge that he had prepared in advance and handed it to Jian Xiu, saying:
"Sister-in-law, I am just carrying this box of rouge. Come, stretch out your hand and I will try it with you."
After saying that, he really took Jian Xiu's hand and started wiping it.
Jian Xiu didn't mind. These were all wives of officials. What was there to worry about?
After Chi Zijin finished wiping, he stretched out the back of his hand in front of the few people and said:
"You know what, it's really just one shade brighter, just like my own skin. Can you believe this is just the effect of applying rouge?"
When the ladies saw this, they all shook their heads and expressed their amazement.
"Where did you buy this rouge?"
"I didn't buy this. This is from my sister-in-law's workshop. But it's not for sale yet. It may take some time. You know what, there are a lot of pearls in it."
"Wow, that stuff isn't cheap!"
"How else can it be so white?"
"But who is your sister-in-law?" one of the ladies asked curiously.
Chi Zijin, who was standing by, saw that Jian Xiu had achieved her goal, and then he calmly said, "I am her sister-in-law."
"Oh, isn't that showing off one's humble background?" said another lady.
As soon as these words came out, everyone naturally guessed Chi Zijin's identity.
In an instant, the body and hall seemed to explode.
Everyone in the capital city knows that Pingyuan Hou's eldest daughter, Chi Zijin, is a sickly girl.
Due to health reasons, I have never participated in such palace banquets in recent years.
Not to mention the palace banquet, even walking a few more steps would make me breathless.
껩That’s why she didn’t get married for a year.
Even fewer people in the capital knew what she looked like, because she couldn't stand the cold, and in the past, she basically stayed in her yard to take care of herself.
Only people who are familiar with her know her current situation.
How did this suddenly appear again?
And looking at her appearance, she is really pretty.
Looking at her face again, it was even more rosy. How could she look sick at all?
That charming smile attracted not only men but also women.
"Oh, it's Miss Chi. I seemed to see your grandmother over there just now. You..."
Just as everyone was surrounding Chi Zijin and Jian Xiu, Shu Qinglan came over again.
As soon as she said this, everyone looked at Chi Zijin and Jian Xiu with a little different look in their eyes.
Everyone here knows that Zheng Guijun is the elder of both of them.
The elders were over there, but the two of them did not follow them to serve them, but instead acted proudly here.
It's obviously a chance for people to talk about it.
Especially Jian Xiu. The news about the two of them was widely spread in the capital two days ago. At this time, everyone was curious about what Jian Xiu would do.
Mu Ling, who was not far away, saw Jian Xiu being embarrassed and subconsciously wanted to go up and ask.
Prince Mu Lingming seemed to see through Wang's plan, for as soon as Wang stretched out his foot, Mu Lingming pulled it back.
"Fourth Prince, those are all women. Although you are still young, is it really appropriate for you to go there like this?"
"Prince, don't go too far!"
"That's too much. Women are chatting, and you, a prince, are not in a position to go over there. Do you want me to report this to my father?"
Mu Ling choked and was about to speak, but he heard Jian Xiu's voice again.
"Mrs. Fang, you are wrong. If I remember correctly, Mrs. Fang seems to have a mother-in-law. Why didn't you bring her with you today?"
"Mother-in-law? Princess An Ning is wrong. Everyone in the capital knows that I, Shu Qinglan, don't have a mother-in-law."
"No? Everyone in the capital knows that Yisi went to the countryside with her grandmother..."
Having said this, Jian Xiu paused again, looked at Shu Qinglan with a smile, and continued:
"Oh, yes. She has been living in the countryside all these years. She didn't want to go there on her own. It is said that she was driven there by someone. As for who drove her there, no one knows."
"It's really pitiful to think about this. How could this good eldest daughter be driven away to the countryside for no reason? She even said she was sick, but she was fine."
As Jian Xiu spoke more, Shu Qinglan's expression became worse.
She never dreamed that Jian Xiu would be so disrespectful to her.
I never thought that she would use this to fight back against me.
In fact, Jian Xiu found out only after checking that Shu Qinglan was not as simple as she had imagined.
Zhang Yicai gave her the news this morning that this Shu Qinglan was from the same family as Queen Shu Zhiyao.
Thinking in this way, Shu Qinglan is indeed low-key enough.
Such people are the most difficult to deal with, because their intentions are deep enough.
I didn't expect that I would be so impatient today.
Looking sideways at Fang Yisi who was as calm as a little lamb, Jian Xiu felt even more sympathetic towards her.
Facing such a stepmother, she is still alive, which must be due to the protection of her grandmother.
Otherwise, don't even think about living.
"Why? Why is Madam Fang silent? Isn't Yisi's grandmother your mother-in-law? If you say so, it reminds me that yesterday, the old lady came to my house to visit Yisi, and she was in good health. I just don't know why Madam Fang didn't let her come to the palace banquet?"
