Chapter 125 The laughing stock of the Nangong family
After listening to Su Nianyun's words, Su Jiaojiao really started to pay attention everywhere.
Sure enough, some women passed by, and the lingering fragrance left on their bodies was the aroma of their jade-faced agar-agar rouge and gouache.
"Ah," Su Jiaojiao said excitedly, "the table next door is also talking about our jade-faced agar-agar!"
Su Nianyun smiled and said, "Since this is a gathering place for women, it's natural to talk about dressing up."
"If you want to know something about women's current hobbies, or whether we have any rivals, this is the best place to hear it."
"Ayun, you are still awesome, you know everything!"
Su Jiaojiao, Su Ying, and Su Hui all looked at Su Nianyun with admiration.
"No, don't look at me like that," Su Nianyun said, "I just came to the capital earlier than you, so I knew something about the situation earlier."
"In the future, when you live in the capital, you will become familiar with it, and you will definitely treasure places like this..."
Just as they were talking, a maid brought the dishes they ordered.
Not only were there delicacies on the table, but they were also made extremely beautifully, which was an eye-opener for Su Jiaojiao and the others.
Su Nianyun said, "Don't just watch, you eat it!"
Su Jiaojiao immediately picked up her chopsticks and started eating. While eating, she said, "Well, Ayun, this is the most delicious meal I have ever eaten!"
Su Nianyun smiled helplessly.
It would be a bit anxious to use the word "most" now.
They haven't had a few delicious meals in the capital, and there will be many more "best" ones in the future!
Seeing that they were eating happily, Su Nianyun ordered a few more dishes, and then started eating slowly himself.
However, her mind was soon attracted by the conversation of the people at the next table.
Next door, there should be four or five women.
While they were talking, they were talking about the flower-viewing banquet hosted by Duke Qingyang a few days ago.
Su Nianyun couldn't help but pricked up her ears and listened.
"That day, I clearly saw that the prince's eyes were on Nangong Yue, so why did he fall in love with Nangong Xing?"
"That's right, I look at the prince and also look at Yue'er. Why did everything change?"
"Nangong Yue, could it be that your concubine used some means to confuse the prince and make him change his mind?"
"It's not impossible. Concubines are always cunning and unscrupulous!"
Then, there was the sound of chopsticks slamming down on the table.
"Stop talking!" Nangong Yue, who had always been proud, couldn't bear this shame and humiliation.
Seeing Nangong Yue like this, several women fell silent.
But in fact, everyone is a little happy about the misfortune.
After all, Nangong Yue relied on her family background to be a bit domineering, and often bullied those whose family background was not as good as hers.
Now that the evildoers have their retribution, of course everyone secretly applauds.
However, no one could show it on their faces that they thought so.
One of the women comforted her, "Nangong Yue, don't be sad. After all, you are the orthodox Crown Princess, and we all support you."
"Yes, yes, we not only support you, we will also rely on you in the future!"
"That's right, that's right," everyone began to agree, "Nangong Yue, please don't be angry!"
Nangong Yue stood up suddenly, "You are still imitating me, do you think I am not embarrassed enough?"
"How could it be?" a woman said innocently, "We just stated our position."
"Every one of our families here is on good terms with the Nangong family. Originally, it has nothing to do with us who your sisters are, but we are here to explain to you that we are for you..."
"Stop talking," the more the man spoke, the more Nangong Yue looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "You guys eat slowly, I'll leave first!"
After Nangong Yue left angrily without looking back, the other women slowly laughed out loud.
"Okay, Ruyu, have you vented your anger now?"
"Alas..." the woman named Ruyu let out a long sigh, "I finally managed to feel better!"
Nangong Yue lost all face in front of several young ladies from aristocratic families.
In order to regain the lost face, she returned to Nangong Mansion and rushed into the room of her concubine Nangong Xing.
Before Nangong Xing could react, Nangong Yue smashed him randomly. Nangong Xing was so frightened that he cowered in the corner and shivered.
When Mrs. Nangong got the letter and rushed over, Nangong Yue threw herself into her mother's arms and burst into tears.
Mrs. Nangong glared at Nangong Xing fiercely, and then helped her baby daughter back to the room.
She comforted, "My dear daughter, don't cry..."
"The position of Crown Princess will always be yours. Don't worry, Nangong Xing will never take it away."
"Mother, I can't swallow this humiliation..."
At this time, Nangong Qi, who had received the news, walked in, "You're so good, why do you want to beat Xing'er?"
Nangong Yue said bitterly, "Let Nangong Xing accompany me into the palace, saying that she will help me and serve me, but in reality, she will be asked to seduce the prince?"
Nangong Qi said, "It's good that you know."
"Father, I am your legitimate daughter, and the position of crown princess must belong to me. Why do you go to the trouble of sending Nangong Xing to the East Palace?"
"In terms of appearance, you may be better than Xing'er, but in terms of intelligence, you are not as good as Xing'er?"
"Am I not as good as her?" Nangong Yue said, "Every time I am at the top of the poetry competition, I am also reading and painting... How can I not be as good as her?"
"I'm not talking about this kind of intelligence, but strategic intelligence..."
Speaking of this, Nangong Qi was full of admiration for this concubine.
"There has never been a shortage of beauties in the harem. How many beauties can stand on it?"
"Look at the Queen Mother, she is a model of resourcefulness among women..."
The journey to where we are now has been extremely thrilling, but every danger has been saved.
After hearing Nangong Qi praise the Queen Mother, Mrs. Nangong's expression became a little unnatural.
"Don't worry, I have already discussed with the queen. The position of the main concubine is still yours. Your sister is just a side concubine. She will help you and assist you..."
Nangong Yue found it difficult to accept.
She broke away from her mother's arms, rushed into the bedroom angrily, and locked her parents out.
"Look at the good daughter you trained. She is willful and has no overall perspective. She entered the palace with such a personality. How can she do well without the help of her own people?"
"I'm afraid that when the time comes, the ones who will be stabbed the most will be our own people, right?" Mrs. Nangong said in a strange tone.
"What are you talking about?"
Nangong Qi said, "Xing'er and her mother have always performed their duties in the house and have never exceeded the rules. Why do you look down on them so much?"
Mrs. Nangong looked at Nangong Qi with burning eyes, making Nangong Qi feel guilty.
Why is Wu so valued by the master? Isn’t it because there is a shadow of the person he misses between her eyebrows?!
But she also knew that the overall situation was now decided, and there was no point in arguing with her husband anymore.
The top priority is to arrange matters after her daughter enters the palace.
