Yun Chu made the carriage circle around the street twice before returning to Xie's mansion.
Except for the slightly reddish circles under her eyes, it was completely invisible that she had cried bitterly just now.
Just after returning to the courtyard, Tingfeng came in and reported: "Madam, after you returned to the General's Mansion, the eldest lady quietly went to the ruined temple and gave many things to Mother He..."
The madam treats the eldest lady as her own. She doesn’t understand why the eldest lady would be so nice to a servant who framed the madam...
Yunchu sat on the couch and ordered, "Let Sister Ping come over."
Since Xie Ping took over some of the general affairs, she has become very busy. She is either looking at the account books or calling the mother-in-law from the outer courtyard to reply.
While she was busy, she saw Tingxue coming to invite her over.
She usually took the initiative to find her mother, and her mother never asked the maid to invite her.
Xie Ping put down her account book, feeling a little worried.
Could it be that her mother knew that she had given something to Mr. He, so she asked her to question her?
If she had known earlier, she shouldn't have relented and gone to see Mr. He. How should she explain to her mother now?
Along the way, Xie Ping's mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts.
After entering Shengju, she saw Yunchu looking at her with a smile on her face: "Sister Ping, sit down."
Xie Ping sat down and took a sip of tea.
"Tomorrow, the eldest princess's flower viewing party, are you free to accompany me?" Yun Chu said with a smile, "It's okay if you don't want to go."
Xie Ping couldn't believe it. She suppressed her excitement and said, "The eldest princess invited mother?"
Yun Chu shook his head: "The eldest princess invited the Yun family, and your grandmother invited me to go with her. If you want to go, it doesn't hurt to have one more of you, just in time to see the world."
Xie Ping nodded vigorously: "I am willing to go."
Her father was a fifth-rank official, and the ladies he usually interacted with were all the daughters of fifth- and sixth-rank officials. At the eldest princess's flower-viewing banquet, most of them were the family members of officials of third-rank and above.
By following her mother, she will definitely get to know many high-ranking ladies.
If she behaves well-behaved and sensible, those ladies might be able to choose her as their daughter-in-law...
Thinking of this, Xie Ping became impatient. She stood up and said, "Mom, I'll go back and get busy first."
Looking at her walking out, a cold smile appeared on Yun Chu's lips.
In her previous life, at the spring banquet held by the Yun family, Xie Ping met the fourth prince for the first time and fell in love with him at first sight.
There is no possibility that the daughter of a fifth-grade official and the current fourth prince would be qualified to be a concubine, so Xie Ping thought of a stupid move and found an opportunity to take the medicine while the fourth prince was not paying attention. , trying to cook things up... It was she who accidentally discovered Xie Ping's plan and prevented the farce from happening in advance.
Not long after this incident, something happened to the fourth prince...
She promised Xie Ping a good family.
Although the other party was only a seventh-rank official, he had a good family tradition and a promising future. However, Xie Ping didn't like him at all. When the marriage was about to be decided, Xie Ping met the emperor on the pretext of going to the palace to pay his respects to her aunt. Then...became the new person beside the emperor...
The so-called aunt is Yun Chu's biological aunt. She was one of the four concubines who was drafted into the palace that year and gave birth to the eighth prince for the emperor.
Xie Ping stepped on her biological aunt and became the emperor's favorite concubine.
In the last life, my aunt fell into the hands of Xie Ping and suffered many inhuman sufferings...
Thinking of what happened in his previous life, Yunchu looked sad.
If she had it to do over again, she would not give Xie Ping another chance to enter the palace, nor would she let her aunt be threatened by Xie Ping again...
Doesn't Xie Ping like the fourth prince? Then let her become the fourth prince. The status of the fourth prince is as glorious as it is short...
A night of silence.
As soon as it got dark and Yunchu came out after freshening up, Xie Shian was already waiting to greet him.
"The college examination is coming soon, so there is no need to come here to say hello during this time." Yun Chuwen said softly, "Study hard and try to bring glory to the Xie family."
Xie Shi'an cupped his hands and said, "Sailing greetings is one of the filial piety. The etiquette cannot be discarded. Don't worry, mother. I am very confident in the college examination. It is not difficult to be a scholar."
Yun Chu knew that he was not lying.
Not only did he become a scholar, he was also the first to be the head of the case. He took part in the provincial examination the following year and was still the first to know the Yuan. Two years later, he won the first place again in the joint examination and became the Huiyuan. Immediately after the palace examination, he was awarded the title of "Huiyuan". Appointed as the number one scholar.
He is the only one in this dynasty who has won three top prizes in a row, and he is also the youngest top pick...
One Xie Shi'an joined the cabinet, one Xie Ping was the favorite concubine in the palace, and one Xie Shiwei entered the military camp. The Xie family's future momentum simply cannot be stopped...
After Xie Shian left, people from the back house came to pay their respects.
Yun Chu's eyes fell on Xie Ping and said quietly: "Go back and change into these clothes. Ting Shuang, you go and dress her up."
Xie Ping was a little at a loss: "Mother, what's wrong with my clothes?"
"Miss, your body is too gorgeous." Tingyu said softly. She had stayed in the General's Mansion for so many years, so she naturally understood this, so she said, "The eldest princess hosted a flower-viewing banquet for flower appreciation, not for ladies. Thousands of gold compete for beauty..."
Yunchu said, "Sister Ping is attending a banquet with me for the first time. She doesn't understand what's normal. Go back and change your clothes."
Tingshuang followed Xie Ping back to the courtyard. She chose a light pink girl's spring shirt for Xie Ping, combed her hair into a simple bun, inserted a jade rocker at an angle, and wore a pair of rice-sized pearl earrings.
Xie Ping pursed her lips: "Is it too plain?"
Tingshuang lowered her hands and said, "Madam is going to the eldest princess's house in the name of the Yun family, so naturally she has to keep a low profile. This is the appropriate way to dress up."
Xie Ping felt a little unhappy.
Dressed so plainly, no one would notice her in the crowd, so how could she get to know the ladies and daughters of those wealthy families?
But her mother had told her so, and if she had to follow her own wishes, she would most likely not be able to go to the eldest princess's flower viewing party.
Yun Chu took Xie Ping to the Yun Mansion in a carriage. After meeting the Yun family, they went to the eldest princess's mansion together.
The eldest princess is the sister of the current emperor's mother, and is a leading figure in the circle of ladies in the capital. Her banquet was almost overcrowded.
The carriage stopped at the door.
Yun Chu helped Lin go down.
Followed by two young girls who have not yet left the palace, Yun Ran, the second lady of the General's Mansion, and Xie Ping, the eldest lady of the Xie Mansion.
A group of four people walked in. There was no need to show the invitation. As soon as Lin stood there, the waiter at the door shouted: "The general's wife is here!"
Immediately afterwards, a nanny came out and led Yunchu and his group inside.
This was the first time for Xie Ping to come to such a prestigious mansion. She looked left and right and couldn't get enough of it.
Ms. Lin frowned and reminded in a low voice: "Sister Ping, why are you so unruly? Later I will ask Aunt Qi to go to Xie's house to give you a lesson."
Yun Chu replied with a smile: "I won't trouble my mother about this little thing."
The shame is also a shame for the Xie family. There is no need for her to protect the Xie family's face.
However, this time Xie Ping came here with the Yun family, so she had to give some advice to prevent the Yun family from being laughed at.
Yunchu gave Tingshuang a look.
Tingshuang took a step back, walked to Xie Ping's side, and whispered a few reminders.
