Chapter 352 Daxia people do not lie to Daxia people
Su Yueling accepted the compliment very calmly, smiling with crooked eyebrows, "The Queen Mother has good taste, and I also think my dress is beautiful."
Her eyes fell on the pale woman behind the Queen Mother, and her fair and beautiful face was a little more confused. Who is this? She shouldn't be Princess Wen Min, and she doesn't match her age. She is also wearing the same scarlet skirt as her.
, hers is the most popular style in the capital recently, with a ruby hairpin on her head, a bat pattern inlaid with glass beads and gold steps, four small phoenix hairpins on both sides, and a pearl tassel forehead ornament on her forehead.
It's just that her temperament can't hold up the scarlet skirt and the pearls on her head. Instead, these gorgeous costumes and jewelry make her look a bit cowardly.
Su Yueling felt that this person was going astray. She was obviously more suitable for a fresh and graceful style.
"I didn't expect Miss Xia to come too. Have you recovered?" Mrs. Pang behind Su Yueling asked.
Su Yueling was reminded by this and suddenly realized that it was Xia Zhiyao. Her invitation only had her last name Xia. She almost forgot that she also invited Xia Zhiyao.
Xia Zhiyao's smile was a little forced and weak, "It's much better now. Thank you madam for your concern."
She said insincerely: "I have long admired the name of the County Lord. Today, I saw that there is no real person behind the great reputation. The beauty of the County Lord makes a faceless girl like me feel ashamed."
Xia Zhiyao was not stupid, and would not target Su Yueling in front of others, especially the Queen Mother and the eldest princess. In front of them, she praised Su Yueling's beauty and belittled herself, in order to praise Su Yueling and help Su Yueling to gain hatred.
.
Su Yueling said: "It doesn't matter, I don't dislike you, you don't have to feel inferior."
Xia Zhiyao's expression froze. She said that she was a faceless girl, which was just a way of saying that she was self-effacing. Did Su Yueling actually admit it?
The other female relatives almost laughed out loud. When Su Yueling spoke to them just now, her words were impeccable. They thought she was another perfect beauty, but they didn't expect that she also had such a direct side. She didn't give Xia Zhiyao any face at all, leaving the other party speechless.
It can be said.
Xia Zhiyao's dull expression made them want to laugh more and more as they looked at it, but in view of Xia Zhiyao's Suyi Mansion and her fiance behind her, everyone endured it.
"puff--"
Huh? Who is so bold that he actually laughs out loud?
When they looked up, they saw the Queen Mother who was overjoyed. Oh, it turned out to be the Queen Mother, so that's okay.
The Queen Mother's smile made Xia Zhiyao's expression even more awkward. She looked at the eldest princess Rong Xiang with some help - this was her future mother-in-law after all, so she should be on her side, right?
The eldest princess Rong Xiang became interested in steamed cheese with sugar and asked Su Yueling: "What is this?" She had no intention of standing up for Xia Zhiyao.
In order to make it easier for the women to eat when they were hungry, the food was placed on the tables on both sides. The steamed cheese with sugar was even placed in ice cube basins. Su Yueling and the others had only been in the capital for a few months, and they really didn't store ice.
In addition, it is not yet summer, and the regular ice will not be distributed until June, so the ice is obtained from Wei Che. The ice stored in his cellar every year cannot be used up.
The sugar-steamed cheese is white and tender, with raisins and red strawberry pieces sprinkled on top. This strong color difference can indeed easily arouse people's appetite.
Su Yueling said: "This is sugar-steamed crispy cheese."
Among all the desserts, this one is the most popular. Several women in the family ate more than one bowl. Fortunately, the kitchen made enough.
Rong Xiang picked up a bowl and ate it slowly. Although her expression didn't change much, judging from her accelerated speed, this dessert also suited her taste.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother also picked up a portion and ate it. After she finished eating, she wanted to eat more. In the end, Su Yueling stopped her, "This thing is a bit cold. It's not good to eat too much."
The Queen Mother refused to give up and said, "This bowl is not much." It was a small bowl and it was gone after a few mouthfuls.
Su Yueling said: "We will eat it tomorrow." She paused and said: "If the Queen Mother only eats one bowl every day, I will have someone make you another equally delicious snack."
The Queen Mother herself had the temper of a child, so her attention was diverted as expected, "Is it really equally delicious?"
"Really, Daxia people don't lie to Daxia people."
As someone with a low sense of humor, the Queen Mother was amused by Su Yueling's words again.
The others watched this scene in amazement. Everyone knew that Su Yueling was very proud in front of the Queen Mother. After all, the Queen Mother would recruit her into the palace without asking. She was even worried that her feet would hurt when she walked, so she specifically allowed her to ride in the palace.
But no matter how hard they imagined, they could not imagine that the Queen Mother was so easy to talk to in front of Su Yueling. If Su Yueling's age was not suitable, they all suspected that Su Yueling was the Queen Mother's long-lost daughter.
Xia Zhiyao stopped talking. The contrast was too strong, leaving her speechless. She finally understood that the Queen Mother was biased, and her heart was clearly biased towards Su Yueling. She even gave up on her previous idea of overpowering Su Yueling, and left it alone.
Yanya couldn't do it, but if she showed any hostility towards Su Yueling, the Queen Mother would be the first to stand up for Su Yueling.
She looked at the Queen Mother chatting with Su Yueling with a loving look on her face, and she couldn't understand why these two people were so in sync with each other.
There were so many famous ladies in the capital, and it was true that none of them tried to please the Queen Mother, but they all failed.
She thought of the charming beauties in her grandpa's village, and the breath that was stuck in her chest eased a lot.
Although those beauties are not as good as Su Yueling in terms of appearance, they are each more gentle than the last, and their methods of seduce men are endless. Su Yueling's straight-forward temper will definitely displease those people, and it will become lively by then.
I'm afraid she can't compete with these beauties. Her hard days are still to come.
No matter how much the Queen Mother loves her, she cannot stand up for her in this matter. If she does, it will arouse Yuan Suijun's rebellious nature as a man.
Xia Zhiyao, who had figured this out, decided to endure it for now. She stood aside and minimized her presence as much as possible, so as not to be shot by the Queen Mother at every turn.
However, she wanted to keep a low profile, but others couldn't. Her dress today was so eye-catching that it was difficult to even see her.
None of you can guess the little ninety-nine in her heart, and it's especially funny to see it in her eyes.
"Why is Miss Xia dressed so festively today? Is there any happy event? Telling her will also make us happy."
"Maybe it's to offset the bad luck that happened some time ago."
"This color doesn't suit you very well. It's too picky about your skin and temperament. Mr. Weiguo County looks good in it."
"A beauty is still a beauty even if she is covered with linen."
In normal times, these female relatives would be more restrained. But seeing that Rong Bo had lost hope because of his "unfilial piety", and looking at the attitudes of the Queen Mother and the eldest princess, they became bolder. Their children, previously
But she was often overwhelmed by the beauty of Xia Zhiyao who was at the height of her powers.
Xia Zhiyao was almost annoyed with them. If it weren't for the dignity of the eldest daughter of Suyi House and the presence of the Queen Mother and the eldest princess, she would have wanted to leave directly.
It was Geng Hai who finally rescued her.
Geng Hai appeared in front of Su Yueling and others and said with a smile: "I have met the Queen Mother and the eldest princess."
"The saint wants to invite everyone to come and watch the ceremony."
