But Ji's mother has no regrets.
She felt extremely uncomfortable when she thought that her son might be interested in Princess Changle. She was born in a royal family, and when she was not married, she was one of the most noble girls in the capital. However, her parents' family failed to live up to their expectations, and her father and brother died early, leaving only her son. The useless nephew only got the false name of a young marquis when he inherited the title.
The huge Rongguo Palace fell from then on.
If that was all, it would be okay, but who told her life to be miserable? Her mother's family is not up to par, but her husband's family is too powerful. Her sisters-in-law are from different families and they are not easy to get along with. How can it be difficult for her to do this? Now, she only hopes that her son can marry a well-behaved and sensible daughter-in-law who can serve her well.
Who would have thought that his son would actually fall in love with the princess, and even the most domineering Princess Changle in the Jin Dynasty!
How sad will my future life be!
Have a tough-talking mother-in-law, a sister-in-law who wants to be strong, and an arrogant and difficult daughter-in-law?
Don’t even think about it!
It's better for her to test Princess Changle first, give the princess some air, and tell her that I, the mother-in-law, despises you, so you should rest your mind as soon as possible!
However, she must grasp the scale of this, so as not to offend Princess Changle again and make her hold a grudge against her!
Thinking of this, Ji's mother felt a sense of urgency in her heart. She couldn't help but squeeze out a smile, gently patted the back of Duan Qinqin's hand, and said with a smile: "Qinqin, this is all My family, what are you so embarrassed about?"
"aunt!"
Duan Qinqin blushed with embarrassment and mumbled, not knowing what to say.
Yun Chuyao raised her eyes slightly, her slightly cold gaze swept over the faces of the Duan family aunt and nephew, and then she spoke slowly: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I am not proficient in embroidery. I am afraid that I am far inferior to Miss Duan family. It’s better not to show your embarrassment.”
When Ji's mother heard this, she pretended to be surprised and said: "Your Highness, I just want the old lady to see the excitement and see how much your and Qinqin's embroidery has improved. If anyone wants to compare, wouldn't it be a shame?" Got a lower ride?"
Yun Chuyao chuckled and said casually: "I am pleased that Mrs. Ji can think so."
Mother Ji's smile froze slightly.
Happy?
Princess Changle has put herself in a position of honor.
really.
With her background, even if she were to get married, she would not be subordinated to her mother-in-law. What she did was considered the right thing to do, otherwise she would have suffered.
Ji's mother twitched her lips, forced out a smile, and said: "What's more, Your Highness is too self-effacing. Didn't you learn embroidery for many years in a women's school? How can you compare to a wild person like Qinqin?" Got it."
After saying this, she added: "But Qinqin is smart and talented. The old lady also said the same when she taught her!"
Mrs. Ji was stunned for a moment, a little confused: "Yes, really?"
Why did my old lady remember that this little skinny monkey had a stupid brain and clumsy hands, and his nose would runny when he embroidered?
Something strange happened.
The number of unreliable memories has increased again.
She rubbed her eyebrows with a headache, sighed heavily, and said drowsily: "Yes, Xiao Shou, ahem, Qinqin is talented, but our little Highness is not bad either. When he was threading the needle before, Even if she pricked her little chubby hand, she wouldn’t even cry!”
Yun Chuyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
When she was practicing embroidery, she seemed to be in her early seventies. How could she have chubby hands? The old lady is really giving herself a lot of money!
"I didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the Princess is also an excellent embroiderer. She has put in a lot of hard work." After saying this, Ji's mother waved her hand and motioned for people to present Duan Qinqin's embroidery. She said with a smile, "Mother, take a look. How about this picture of pine and longevity that Qinqin embroidered?"
Jinmei took a closer look.
The heartbeat that was still a little nervous before had calmed down a lot, and she couldn't help but look at Yun Chuyao. Seeing that the princess's expression remained unchanged, she couldn't help but feel happy, and quickly winked at the rough maid beside her.
"good."
Mrs. Ji tried her best to keep her eyes open and carefully looked at the picture of Songshou in front of her. She couldn't help but nodded and said, "I don't blame you for always praising her. She is indeed a talented child. Not bad, really good."
Ji's mother was overjoyed, and a flash of joy flashed across her face unconsciously, saying, "Your Highness, what do you think?"
Yun Chuyao also nodded, not stingy with his praise, and said bluntly: "You have indeed worked hard."
"No!"
Ji's mother was so happy as if she had been praised, her face turned into a smile. Especially when she heard Yun Chuyao's unabashed praise, she was even more happy. She just felt that the princess had given in to her, and she kept it in her heart. All the frustration came out!
"But, everything depends on talent," she said. "Some people have practiced embroidery all their lives, but it is not as good as Qinqin's improvisation. Talent is always more important than hard work. Don't you think so, Your Highness?"
Yun Chuyao thought for a while and nodded: "That makes sense."
"Your Highness!"
Duan Qinqin's cheeks turned red with embarrassment. She suppressed the pride in her heart and glared at Yun Chuyao, saying: "Your Highness is just like my aunt, and likes to praise others. But, I have heard rumors before that Your Highness Her embroidery skills are excellent, I wonder if Qinqin is destined to meet her?"
What she said sounded nice, but everyone present was not a fool. How could they not hear her provocation?
For a moment, everyone's expressions were a little subtle.
But no one stopped him.
Who can bear to refuse the excitement of picking up something for nothing?
Yun Chuyao nodded casually, and Jinmei immediately understood and ordered someone to bring up the Songshou Diagram that His Highness had already prepared!
Just one glance!
The expressions of Ji's mother and Duan Qinqin froze instantly!
Other people watching the fun also took a breath of air, straightened up quickly, patted their hearts with some fear, and said: Fortunately, fortunately I did not send embroidery, fortunately I did not send the Songshou picture, otherwise, how could I have done it? Aren't you going to confront Princess Changle?
Without him!
The picture of Songshou sent by Yun Chuyao is really too big!
Not only is it two circles larger than Duan Qinqin's embroidery, but the stitching is also more delicate. Looking from a distance, it looks like a painting. How can it be as shocking as before?
Duan Qinqin fell directly into the lower class!
"this……"
The corner of Ji's mother's mouth twitched, trying to force out a smile, but she couldn't do it at all. She could only say out loud: "What a coincidence, it is also a picture of pine longevity."
No!
Everyone was also speechless.
What a coincidence. If it had been before, who would have thought that Princess Changle and Miss Duan would give exactly the same birthday gifts, and they would directly meet each other!
Look at how they squeak!
How funny!
The second wife of the Ji family pursed her lips and smiled, and said in a strange tone: "No, but from what I saw, the picture of Princess Changle's longevity is just like the painting. It's very beautiful! Sister-in-law, what do you think?"
Ji's mother's face turned green, but she was afraid of making another joke, so she nodded naturally: "Yes, yes."
