It was not just the Queen Mother who came, but also the eldest princess Rong Xiang. As people who knew Yuan Suijun's true identity, if they could not witness this moment with their own eyes, they would probably regret it for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, the Queen Mother and her daughter came over in person. After all, everyone in the capital knew about her love for Su Yueling. Even if she came over, everyone would probably guess that it was to give Su Yueling face.
The Queen Mother silently praised herself in her heart, feeling that her reasons were impeccable.
And when she got off the chariot, she immediately saw Xia Zhiyao at the door. As Rong Bo's fiancée, the Queen Mother had naturally summoned Xia Zhiyao. Seeing her dressed up so presumptuously, her brows suddenly furrowed.
As a noble daughter of the uncle's house, she should dress up carefully when going out and not fall into the prestige of the house. But Xia Zhiyao's dress has gone beyond that. People who don't know better think that she is the real hostess.
Is this bullying Yueling's face? She didn't like Xia Zhiyao's temperament in the first place, and when she saw her bullying her grandson's wife (anyway, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, she was bullying Su Yueling), she immediately became angry.
As the woman with the highest status in the country, the Queen Mother also has a more selfish temperament. This is also the reason why she and Su Yueling are so compatible. Therefore, she did not give any face, deliberately squinted her eyes and said to her daughter Rong Xiang: "I am getting older.
My eyesight is not very good, is there a big red lantern standing over there?"
"It's true, Yue Ling, why did you put such a big lantern at the door?"
People nearby all looked at the "Red Lantern" Xia Zhiyao.
Xia Zhiyao originally stayed here because he wanted to greet the Queen Mother and show off himself, but who would have thought that he would be treated as a red lantern by the Queen Mother.
Her face immediately turned red, the same color as her clothes, and she almost started bleeding.
Rong Xiang glanced at Xia Zhiyao lightly and said, "Mother, that's not a red lantern, it's the eldest lady of the Suyi family."
Xia Zhiyao felt extremely humiliated. Did the Queen Mother deliberately want to humiliate her?
It must be because Rong Bo came to the palace to intercede for her, and in the eyes of the Queen Mother, she was just a fox who seduced her grandson. But she was clearly framed.
Xia Zhiyao's eyes were slightly red, but he still stepped forward to greet the Queen Mother and the eldest princess, "I have met the Queen Mother and the eldest princess."
The Queen Mother showed a look of realization, "It turns out it's you."
"This color doesn't suit you very well. You look tacky."
"I remember that the pink color you wore when you entered the palace last time was really good. It looked pink and fresh."
She had just mocked Xia Zhiyao for being like a red lantern, and she was mostly angry. What she said now was a sincere suggestion.
But when these words fell into Xia Zhiyao's ears, she interpreted them to mean something else.
The scarlet color on her body is very close to bright red, so the concubines in the capital will not wear it at all, or dare not wear it. Pink is the color that concubines can wear.
Didn't the Queen Mother want to demote her into a concubine?
When Xia Zhiyao thought of this possibility, the blood immediately faded from his face, and his lips also turned white.
No, she is the eldest daughter of the Suyi Prefecture and has a distinguished status. How could the royal family humiliate her like this?
When the eldest princess Rong Xiang saw her expression, she guessed that she might have thought wrongly. She said calmly: "I never thought you would come today. I heard that you were ill some time ago, and it seems that you are in good health now.
I feel at ease."
Xia Zhiyao clenched the handkerchief unconsciously. Many people in the capital were watching her jokes some time ago, so she could only take advantage of her illness to hide. These days, her grandfather has been vaguely revealing the news that Prince Kang's palace harmed her and Rong Bo.
This earned her some sympathy. Since she didn't want Su Yueling to see the joke, she took this opportunity to reappear in front of people. After all, she couldn't hide forever.
She twitched the corners of her lips and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. My health is much better."
In her opinion, the eldest princess's concern was very hypocritical. When she was in the most pain, she had never seen her send anyone to care for her or give her rewards to support her.
As a result, today she actually came out of the palace in person for Su Yueling.
This strong contrast made her particularly unwilling and confused.
…
Su Yueling's courtyard was busier than ever at this time.
Although she and Yuan Suijun did not invite many people, there were about eight female relatives here, but of course they could not come alone. At least they had a maid with them, and some even brought two.
There are quite a lot of people in total.
Fortunately, the garden used by Su Yueling to entertain the female family members was not small, and it did not seem crowded when they were put down. Most of the families who came to the banquet maintained a harmonious relationship with Yuan Suijun, and they mainly tried to win her over.
Naturally, she did not speak in a sarcastic and sarcastic way.
The way she dressed today, whether it was her bun or her clothes, undoubtedly made her a well-deserved C position.
So everyone's topics mainly focused on clothing and makeup.
Su Yueling also taught everyone about her scheming makeup method where she clearly wears makeup but looks like she has no makeup on.
The female relatives listened with great interest, and some even brought pens and paper to record it.
With makeup as a common topic, the atmosphere seems to be quite harmonious. They also lamented in their hearts that Su Yueling is quite generous. She just teaches makeup like this without hiding anything.
After sweets such as steamed cheese with sugar, milk tea, and cold cakes were brought out, everyone's conversation turned from clothing to food.
There is no doubt that the things Su Yueling showed did make these noble women put aside their initial contempt. Although the Yuan family was from a humble background, they had a lot of good things, and even they, who were picky, were attracted by it.
One light.
Not only were the desserts irresistible, but the strawberries also made them want it. No wonder the Queen Mother in the palace liked it. Several ladies were wondering whether they could beg Su Yueling for some seeds when they got closer to her.
But the most stunning thing was Su Yueling herself. Whether it was her unforgettable stunning appearance or her elegant and leisurely manner, they all left a deep impression on them.
Yuan Baoshu was nervous at first, but later she found that everyone's attention was attracted by her sister-in-law. She didn't need to do much, she just needed to say a few words occasionally to show that she was still there.
This "ignorance" undoubtedly made her feel a lot more at ease.
She looked at Su Yueling with admiration, she was indeed her sister-in-law! Even though she was surrounded by these ladies, she was still as stable as a mountain, and everyone even unconsciously focused on her.
Su Yueling, who is surrounded by stars, doesn't feel any pressure at all. Instead, she is very accustomed to being the center of attention. After all, isn't it normal for someone as outstanding as her to be the C-position?
When the Queen Mother and the eldest princess came over, they saw Su Yueling in high spirits.
The confidence in the corners of her eyes and brows is like the sun, able to firmly attract everyone's attention.
The Queen Mother was originally worried that Su Yueling would be bullied because of her youth and innocence. When she saw this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
When the Queen Mother and others arrived, the chamberlain also announced at the right time, "The Queen Mother has arrived, and the eldest princess has arrived."
The people present subconsciously turned their heads and looked at the sudden appearance of the queen mother and eldest princess in shock. After they came to their senses, they quickly saluted.
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "No need to be polite, just get up."
Su Yueling had guessed before that the Queen Mother and the eldest princess would not miss Yuan Suijun's coronation ceremony. However, she thought that when these two people arrived, they would be notified and asked to go out to greet them. Who knew that the two of them actually stayed silent?
Carry out attacks.
Su Yueling showed a bright smile, "I have met the Queen Mother and the eldest princess."
As the county monarch, she has no problem calling herself a minister.
Her smile can make people's hearts bloom, and it's so beautiful.
This smile also made Xia Zhiyao's face turn as pale as paper, and his eyes were full of disbelief. Is this Su Yueling? How could Su Yueling be so good-looking?
The Queen Mother's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but praise, "Your dress is so beautiful, the style is novel and unique."
"This color is also suitable. Young girls like you should wear this color. Just like flowers, it makes people feel brighter when they see it."
The young girl Xia Zhiyao, who was told by the Queen Mother not long ago that she was tacky for wearing red, almost cried because of this obvious double standard.
