But she couldn't hold it back in the room forever. Jiang Miao changed her clothes and walked out of the bedroom during lunch. Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took care of the lunch, cooking all Jiang Miao's favorite things.
Several women had been here before. Mrs. Zhang had a happy smile on her face after she came out of the third wife's room. What else didn't they understand? The third wife and the third daughter-in-law had been married for more than two years, and they had consummated their marriage.
Mrs. Xu is a talkative person. She had previously wondered why she had to wait two years before consummating the marriage. When she was as old as Jiang Miao, Da Ya could do it, but she only said this to Shen Lao Er.
, the third child is willing to love his wife, what can she blame?
But now that the two have finally consummated their marriage, Mrs. Xu is also happy for them. She even made a Codonopsis pilosula chicken soup to replenish Jiang Miao's health. This is one of her specialties, and most people, Mrs. Xu, won't make it.
"Mom, sister-in-law, can I help you with this?"
She stayed in the house for a day, and Mrs. Zhang and others were busy with the Shen family's meals. Jiang Miao felt very sorry and took the initiative to come over and help.
"No, just this little work, your sister-in-law and I will finish it in a while, so don't get involved."
The water was cold in winter, and Mrs. Zhang was afraid that it would be bad for her health if she touched the cold water, so she quickly stopped her.
Next to her, Shen Yingxue smiled teasingly, making Jiang Miao's cheeks red and feeling very embarrassed.
"You are all working but I am idle. If word spreads, it will be said that my mother spoiled me rotten."
"You, my mother is willing to pamper you."
Mrs. Zhang's blatant partiality makes Miao Ya the most painful to these wives. She doesn't love who she loves.
"That's right, Miaoya, my mother can't wait to hold you in her hands now. You should stop working now. She will be so happy to give birth to a big fat boy!"
Mrs. Xu interrupted with a smile. She felt that the third daughter-in-law was stupid. The most important thing now was to give birth to a son and stabilize her status.
"What your second sister-in-law said makes sense. The third child has stabilized now. It's time for you to have a child, but I won't rush you. This child is fate. It will come when the time comes. Both boys and girls have children.
If you like it, don’t put too much burden on me.”
Mrs. Zhang can think about it wisely. She already has four grandchildren, so she is not in a hurry. Moreover, the third child and Mia Ya have just consummated their marriage. They have not been together for a long time. It is really too urgent to rush to have children. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so she will
Just be a hands-off shopkeeper and let the two of them make their own plans.
Jiang Miao's face turned red. She knew that she would be induced to give birth after consummating the marriage. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang was open-minded. Unlike other mothers-in-law who wished their daughter-in-law would have two babies in three years, she felt that she was still a child. The thought of giving birth made her feel pain, but she could still
Just drag it.
Fortunately, this shyness did not last long, as Mrs. Zhang and others were attracted by another incident.
"Miaoya also wants to go to the palace banquet?"
Although they came to the capital, the palace was still far away from the Shen family. Thinking of Jiang Miao and Shen Yanqing going to the palace, Mrs. Zhang and others felt nervous.
"The emperor must be very majestic. I don't know if he is scary or not. Miao Ya has never been to the palace and she is timid. What if she is bullied?"
In Mrs. Zhang's heart, Jiang Miao was a good-tempered little lady. She was protected by her relatives at home, but she could not protect her when she entered the palace.
Jiang Miao felt a little funny after hearing what Mrs. Zhang said, but she was even more moved. Mrs. Zhang really treated her like a daughter, for fear that she would be wronged when she went out, but Mrs. Zhang didn't know her identity. She was the only one who had wronged others.
, she will not let anyone touch her even a little bit.
Jiang Miao and Shen Yanqing looked at each other, but still did not reveal her identity as Princess Rongning. After all, Jiang Ru had not been eliminated yet. The more people who knew, the faster they would be exposed. It was not that she did not trust the Shen family. It's just that we are in a critical period, so it's best to be more careful.
"Mom, I will protect Miaoya when we enter the palace. I will never let her leave my sight, let alone let others bully her."
Shen Yanqing held Jiang Miao's hand and assured her, and Mrs. Zhang gradually felt relieved.
"Then you have to watch out. If mother finds out that our Miaoya has been wronged outside, she will definitely take it from you."
"Um."
Jiang Miao looked at Mrs. Zhang's serious instructions to Shen Yanqing, and the smile on her lips became deeper and deeper. She held Shen Yanqing's hand tightly, and there seemed to be a warm current in her heart. Although she knew that nothing would happen to her, she still had the love of her family. But it's the most touching.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the sky was gradually getting dark, and lanterns of various colors were lit on the streets, making the long street as bright as day.
Jiang Miao was watching the scenery outside through the car window, her face covered in a white rabbit fur collar, which made her appearance even more delicate, and her eyes still had the innocence of a young lady.
Shen Yanqing sat next to her, looking at her with eyes full of endearment. The scenery outside the car was not as good as her smile.
Two rows of carriages have stopped outside the palace. Today is the palace banquet. Officials of the sixth rank and above in the capital are bringing their wives and children into the palace to attend the banquet.
This is a rare grand event, and the ladies of each family have tried their best to dress up. After all, the emperor has no concubines in the harem. If they catch the emperor's eye today, they may be able to get a concubine after the new year.
The noble ladies, with the intention of climbing high branches, put great effort into their clothes. Those whose families were well-off had already ordered new clothes at Yuhua Building. The slim and light down jackets complemented their beautiful figures, and their slim waists were not too bulky. The color complements the skin tone even more.
Some young ladies even paid a high price to hire makeup ladies from Yuhua House to dress up specially for today's banquet, just waiting to shine at the palace banquet.
Those whose families are not well-off are not to be left behind. Linglongge has also launched down jackets, and the style and materials are not inferior to those from Yuhualou. Young ladies cannot afford the clothes from Yuhualou, but the ones from Linglongge are more than enough.
Especially after seeing Linglong Pavilion's clothes, they were very satisfied. Many people bought them and took them home to wear for today's palace banquet.
But they didn't expect that there was an embarrassing thing about these down jackets.
"What does it smell like? Why is it so smelly?"
Everyone was waiting outside the palace gate. The palace servants had to ensure that no one entering the palace was carrying any sharp objects before they were allowed to enter. A group of young ladies were standing together. The ventilation in the small space was inconvenient, and all kinds of smells came to their nostrils.
The smell is fishy, but it is covered up with heavy spices. If you are not close, you may not be able to smell it, but they just happen to be gathered together, and there are so many people wearing Linglong Pavilion down jackets. The smell is gathered together, no matter how much incense is used, Can't hold it down.
Among the bustling crowd, young ladies wearing Linglongge down jackets were blushing, their heads almost buried in their chests, and their eyes were about to burst into tears.
Even before they entered the palace, they had made such a big mistake. When they bought the down jackets, no one said that the clothes would stink.
No wonder the shop in Linglong Pavilion was filled with so much incense at that time. He was probably deliberately trying to trick them. Everyone already hated Sun Hao and blamed him for this embarrassing situation.
