Fu Jinrou saw the contemplative look of the maid next to her, and did not continue to talk about Mrs. Fu. She just said softly: "I am the daughter of the Fu family. My uncle from the Cao family is also very good to me. My aunt does not dare to be too harsh on me." , be patient and it will pass.”
The palace maid's eyes flashed: "It's Mrs. Fu's fault that the lady is so kind-hearted."
Fu Jinrou lowered her eyes: "Don't say that, my aunt is quite nice sometimes."
The palace maid hesitated to speak, but because of Mrs. Fu's status, she did not say any more. She just softly comforted Fu Jinrou with a few words and praised the peony hairpin in her hand.
After the palace maid left and there was only one person left in the room, the tenderness on Fu Jinrou's face faded instantly.
She glanced at the direction the palace maid left, with a bit of pride on her face.
This palace maid suddenly appeared in Xiaoxu Hall after she spoke to the prince alone for the first time. She said that she was someone sent by the palace to serve them, but she was trying to find out about her situation in the Fu family both inside and outside her words.
She wasn't sure who this person belonged to, but it probably belonged to a few noble people in the palace, and it didn't stop him from seeking some benefits for herself.
That day, Mrs. Fu made her make a fool of herself in public. Later, she unexpectedly learned from the nun next to the Queen Mother. Aunt Ran said that the reason why the Queen Mother did not like her when she first met her was because of her poor manners, which made the Queen Mother uncomfortable. The empress had a preconceived notion that she was frivolous, neglectful and unruly.
Fu Jinrou still remembers what Mother Ran said that day.
"Miss Fu is gentle and elegant, and she has a very good temper. Even the Queen Mother likes her very much."
"The Queen Mother just told this servant that she had misunderstood you. That day when you went to see the Queen Mother like that, she thought you were unhappy and unwilling to enter the palace to serve the sick. She almost thought you were so arrogant and rude. woman."
Fu Jinrou looked confused when she heard this and quickly asked. Later, she found out that she was embarrassed when she went to see the Queen Mother that day.
Everyone saw her messy face with makeup, but she didn't know anything and pretended to be pretentious in front of the Queen Mother, which made the Queen Mother feel unhappy.
After Fu Jinrou knew about it and thought about it carefully, she understood who had done it. She was angry with Mrs. Fu for embarrassing her, and she was also angry with Qian Qiyue and Tang Ning for not reminding her. She also vaguely understood what happened in Qiyun Palace later. What is the reason for falling?
That Song Tangning was simply shameless and despicable in order to protect the Fu family!
And Qian Qiyue, who claimed to be her best friend, but watched her make a fool of herself, and later had the nerve to start a fight with her over Xuan Qiwen's matter, making her think how much Qian Qiyue cared about her. .
He looks carefree, but he is actually very scheming!
Fu Jinrou guessed that the palace maid was either the queen mother or the prince, but no matter who it was, it would be pity to let them know that Mrs. Fu humiliated her and snatched rewards from her, but she also understood that her status was not as good as those noble ladies from very high family backgrounds in the capital. .
Whether she is with the Queen Mother or the Prince, the Fu family and the Cao family are her confidence.
That's why she was able to give Mrs. Fu eye drops, but she didn't say a word about Mrs. Fu's faults. She also repeatedly emphasized that Mrs. Fu and her brother Fu Laiqing loved her very much, and even Cao Dejiang took good care of her.
Fu Jinrou could feel that the prince's tone became gentler when he met her the next two times. Even the queen mother generously rewarded her today. She didn't say a word about her previous wish for the daughter of the Xu family to enter the palace, but instead hinted at her.
"Peony pearl hairpin..."
Fu Jinrou lowered her head and looked at the hairpin in her hand. The peonies on it were gorgeous and graceful, and the golden silk beads were extremely rich.
Peony is the most beautiful flower in the world. In this capital and the palace, only those who wear peony ornaments are...
Fu Jinrou slowly stretched out her hand and inserted the peony hairpin into her bun. She looked through the window lattice in the direction of Fengqi Palace, her eyes full of excitement and ambition to win.
When she gets that position, let alone Qian Qiyue, what can even Song Tangning do!
…
In Qiyun Palace, a palace official who brought food whispered to Tang Ning what Xiao Yan had brought.
She said: "Don't worry, young lady, the master has already told me, just be careful tomorrow. The master said that if there is any trouble that cannot be avoided, go to Zhaogui Concubine and she will help you."
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment: "Concubine Zhaogui?"
The palace man whispered: "Zhaogui concubine owes the master a favor. The master said that you don't need to care about anything else, just take care of yourself."
Tang Ning nodded: "I understand."
…
It snowed heavily all night, and when I woke up early, the treetops and roofs outside the temple were covered with thick silvery white.
The banquet at Shoukang Palace was held in the afternoon. Since the Empress Dowager became healthy and no longer had to worry about it, everyone had retired from the plain clothes of the previous two days and wore a little more color. Several young girls were as beautiful as flowers. .
When Tang Ning packed up her clothes and makeup and went to Shoukang Palace with Qian Qiyue, she met Mrs. Wenxinhou and others who were going out. They chatted and laughed together on the way. When they arrived at Shoukang Palace, others followed one after another. arrive.
Xuan Qiwen, wearing a red gown and skirt, was talking to Princess Huan and the others. When she saw Tang Ning and others coming in, she snorted coldly.
Qian Qiyue: "Humph!"
She rolled her eyes, complained in a very low voice, pulled Tang Ning and walked in. She didn't even bother to look at Xuan Qiwen, which made her jump in anger.
Princess Huan: "Unruly thing!"
Prince Ji's concubine stood aside and pretended not to hear what was said.
Several other ladies who had seen Princess Huan quarreling with Qian Qiyue before, and later kowtowed in front of the Queen Mother and admitted their mistakes, all seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they just pretended that they had not seen the disagreement between Princess Huan and the girls of the Qian family. They continued to talk in low voices.
"Ayue."
Zhou Yuchang pulled Qian Qiyue and told her not to argue with others today.
Qian Qiyue turned her head and whispered: "Don't worry, I'm too lazy to pay attention to them."
Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Cao were already familiar with Tang Ning and the others. When they saw them coming in, they came up to greet them. Fu Jinrou seemed not to know anything. She approached with a soft smile and said, "Ah Yue, Tang Ning, you are here." ?”
He raised his lips towards Zhou Yuchang again: "Yuchang."
Qian Qiyue stepped away from her and stepped forward to hold her hand. She put her hands into her cloak and hugged Yu Pozi.
"It's really cold today."
Fu Jinrou's face froze: "Ah Yue..."
Qian Qiyue tilted her head: "Hey, why is Miss Fu here? Aren't you playing with others? Miss Xuan is over there!"
She raised her chin towards Xuan Qiwen and the others, and then said to Tangning: "It's very cold in front of the palace, let's stand inside."
Tang Ning: "Okay."
Several people walked around the corridor to avoid the wind one after another, and Rong Yue and Mrs. Wen Xinhou did not stop either.
The smile on Fu Jinrou's face, which was originally full of smiles, turned extremely stiff.
She had already noticed that Qian Qiyue was not happy with her, but she expected that she would at least show off in the palace, and Song Tangning was even more hypocritical, but who would have thought that they would actually act like this.
This is Shoukang Palace, how dare they? !
