Yang was able to chat with all the ladies and ladies in the courtyard outside, but when she arrived at the main hall of the Duke's Mansion and saw so many royal nobles, her legs still trembled.
"A common woman has met the eldest princess, the crown princess, and all the concubines."
I didn't even dare to raise my head.
"Quickly, without courtesy, please sit down."
After sitting down, Yang felt better.
She secretly took a look at her daughter. Huo Xi smiled reassuringly at her, which made Yang feel less panicked.
Sitting with half of his buttocks upright, he swallowed his saliva nervously.
The Crown Princess, Princess Fuqing and others couldn't help but smile when they saw this.
"Don't be afraid, we don't eat people either."
All the ladies hurriedly covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and laughed.
Mrs. Yang smiled awkwardly: "A commoner woman has never seen so many noble people. I occasionally see one or two, but there are not so many as today. If you look this way, they are all noble people. If you look to the other side, you will see that they are all noble people."
They are all noble people, and the women of the common people dare not even raise their heads."
Everyone laughed again.
Princess Fuqing, the Crown Princess and others liked her very much when they saw her funny words, and they all rewarded her with things.
Talk to her and ask about her family.
Yang gradually became more relaxed and told everyone about the interesting story of how she picked up the two siblings and lived with them on the boat.
The women who were imprisoned in the Sifang Well had never experienced the experience of living in a small boat, fishing for whatever they could in the water, and eating whatever they could, drying the fish and eating it until the boat was piled full of dried fish.
Listened with gusto.
"...Xi'er is sensible. At that time, the family was poor and had nothing to eat. She would eat dried fish for every meal, but she never disliked it. When Nian'er grew up, the family's life gradually improved. When he could eat, he smelled
When I smell the fish, I turn my head to the side..."
Everyone laughed and felt sad at the same time.
In a family like theirs, the children in the family have never lived like that.
It's really hard on the two children, what a sin.
There was another layer of meaning in the eyes that turned towards Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu.
"Sister Ning, I am Guan Shuyue from the eldest house of the Hou family in Pingyang..."
"My name is Zheng Wan, and I am from the Zhennan Hou family..."
After the banquet started, everyone in the main hall went out, and a group of ladies came to Huo Xi and chatted with her. Soon, Huo Xi also got to know many people.
"Yu Ning, the next time I hold a banquet at my house, you must come." They all invited Huo Xi to their home.
"My family is holding a flower banquet, and you must come too!"
Huo Xi smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Miss, my wife wants to say a few words to you." A little girl walked up to Huo Xi.
When Huo Xi heard this, she thought it was the Crown Princess who wanted to find her, so she nodded and followed her to the side courtyard.
When she arrived, she discovered that it was Zhang Biyao who was looking for her.
"I've met Empress Zhang."
Zhang Biyao was silent and looked at her: "I should call you elder sister."
"I don't dare. Your Majesty is already a noble person now."
Noble? Zhang Biyao smiled bitterly.
If possible, she didn't want to be such a noble person. If she had known today, she would have made an engagement early. Even if she hired a poor student, it would be better than now.
In less than a month, Zhang Biyao's sharp edges have been smoothed out, allowing her to accept the fact that she cannot be free.
"I should congratulate you that you and Yuzhong can return home. Now we are a family, and we should live in harmony. I know you have some misunderstandings about my mother..."
"It's not a misunderstanding." Huo Xi looked at her.
"I'm afraid your mother didn't tell you the inside story. You think it's a misunderstanding, but it's not." Xiaoxiao, "Your mother and I have a grudge against her."
"What?" Zhang Biyao was shocked.
"As you heard. So your mother and I can never coexist peacefully."
Zhang Biyao calmed down, "Then what do you want?"
"What do you think you would do if it were you?" Huo Xi asked her.
What will happen to me? Zhang Biyao was stunned.
If it was true, could she just watch the murder of her mother and not avenge it?
Looking at Huo Xi, he forgot to say anything for a moment.
"People in the world are used to asking others from the perspective of bystanders, but when it was her turn, it was completely different." After Huo Xi finished speaking, she looked at her intently.
Now I see Zhang Biyao again. Compared with the little girl I saw before, she now looks as wealthy and noble as a royal lady.
"Your mother stepped on my mother and enjoyed the wealth for more than ten years. That's enough."
"What did you say? What do you want to do to my mother!"
"Why don't you ask your mother what she did to my brother and my sister? I just repaid you with retaliation."
Huo Xi glanced at her, turned and left.
Zhang Biyao was frightened and turned around to find her mother, but Mrs. Wu was pulled by the dowager to entertain the guests and could not get away for a moment.
Wu was just in the main hall, being knocked and beaten repeatedly by Princess Fuqing and the Crown Princess. She was so angry that her stomach cramped. She wanted to throw up her sleeves and leave. But then she thought about it. In such an occasion, she didn't want to take advantage of those two little bitches.
.
She is the Duke's wife.
With her here, her son Zhang Jie has the confidence and is not a child without a mother.
She had been operating in the capital for many years, and the two little bastards just returned home. They wanted to fight her, but they didn't even think about it.
Mrs. Wu shuttled among the ladies with ease. Those who didn't know the truth praised her magnanimity and praised her. This is the style of a duchess's wife.
The son's position as heir apparent was taken away, and he didn't even complain. He was still smiling, helping his two newly returned children to entertain the guests.
Many people pulled Wu to fawn over her and kept praising her.
"You are too generous, if you want me to give up long ago."
"Hey, the two children grew up outside and don't know any rules or etiquette. If I don't help to keep an eye on them, who can help them? How can I let the two concubines of the Duke of Guo go out to entertain guests? We are the royal wives."
"No. How can we let those little goblins step on our heads?"
"I don't know what the British prince is thinking. Your son Zhang Jie is the eldest son. How come you have given the title of crown prince to the younger one?"
"My father-in-law has no choice. When he thinks about the sufferings his two children have suffered, his heart aches with pain. He wishes he could use the gold and silver of the entire government to compensate them."
"Take the entire mansion's gold and silver as compensation? Others will not eat or drink! This is not the way to compensate."
"It's okay. My Jie'er is capable. He will earn his own money in the future and will always have a share of food and drink. But these two children are raised in ordinary people's homes outside. The Duke is afraid that they will not be able to support themselves, so he just wishes he could subsidize them all.
"
"That can't be too much. You are too generous..."
Qin Huaiyu and Dong Chuxue were chatting with several women when they happened to hear Mrs. Wu in the crowd saying these words to show off her generosity, and they were very angry.
"This Wu family sent several waves of people to assassinate my two poor nephews. Their uncle and I didn't dare to sleep at night for a long time. She still has the nerve to say she is generous!"
Qin Huaiyu was very angry.
"I'm afraid she doesn't want Xi'er and Nian'er to die immediately, so she feels happy!" After saying this, she pulled Dong Chuxue forward to argue.
