Jian Xi did not go to greet Mrs. Jing like other female relatives, but went directly to the banquet hall in the outer courtyard with Jicang.

Mr. Lou, who was chatting with Mrs. Jing in the inner courtyard, waited for a long time but could not wait for Jian Xi's arrival.

The reason why Mrs. Lou is looking forward to meeting Jian Xi is because she has already laid the groundwork for her. As soon as Jian Xi appears, she will become the object of contempt for the ladies.

She sneered.

I didn’t expect Jian Xi to be scared sometimes!

Mr. Lou turned to flatter Mrs. Jing with a smile.

Although Mrs. Jing is over fifty, she takes good care of herself and has a rosy complexion.

What is surprising is her jet black hair, without a trace of white beard.

In contrast, Lou, who is much younger, looks older due to the excessive pressure recently.

It doesn't matter, it's this kind of contrast that Mrs. Jing enjoys.

On the contrary, she became more affectionate towards Mr. Lou. She held Mr. Lou's hand and never let go.

Mrs. Jing patted Mr. Lou's hand with her other hand and comforted her.

"You, don't be impatient. The old prince will not let the prince go astray. When I see the prince later, I will give you some advice, okay?"

Mrs. Lou thought that Mrs. Jing was, after all, the biological mother of the beloved concubine and was treated favorably by the emperor.

Even Jicang must obey her instructions!

Lou said sadly.

"I am useless, how can I trouble the old lady..."

Mrs. Jing continued to pat her hands and said.

"It's okay! As people get older, they hate to see younger people being rude to their elders!"

Mr. Lou lowered his head in pain and remained silent.

Mrs. Jing asked about Lou Jiahui again, which attracted compliments from other ladies.

Lou Jiahui didn't mean to pretend to be cute, she just didn't dare to grow her mouth too big and let people see her two gold teeth...

Seeing that it was almost time, a servant came to invite Mrs. Jing and the other ladies to attend a banquet in the front yard.

Madam Jing stood up with Mrs. Lou's support, and started off with everyone.

There were only a few female relatives in the front yard at this time, and most of them were male guests gathering in twos and threes to talk.

On weekdays, their topics focus on current affairs and politics.

Today, for the first time, the focus is on King Shengxuan.

"King Seongxuan is young and energetic, which makes people worry..."

"As a famous border general, but his behavior is so unruly, how can I, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, feel at ease?"

"Hey... they say beauty brings disaster. I don't like the one in the palace as much as the one in front of me..."

Everyone covered their faces and coughed in tacit agreement.

What they were afraid of was not Jian Xi, but the lawless one in the palace who was favored by the emperor!

It stands to reason that the birthday banquet of the old lady of Jing Mansion is a normal regulation. How can we invite so many high-ranking officials?

How could these officials line up to congratulate her on her birthday?

Everyone sat in order, waiting for Mrs. Jing to arrive as late as the Queen Mother in the harem.

Mrs. Jing entered the room and glanced around with a smile.

Seeing Jing Xuan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he frowned slightly.

Then she sat down peacefully amid the birthday congratulations.

It can be seen that Mrs. Jing is in a very comfortable and happy mood at this time.

At this time, a team from the palace entered the field carrying a red box.

The leading eunuch greeted Mrs. Jing respectfully.

"We are here to send congratulatory gifts to the old lady on your behalf!"

The father-in-law had a sweet mouth, and then came all kinds of blessings and auspicious words, every word of which touched Mrs. Jing's heart.

After a while, the emperor also sent congratulatory gifts to Jingfu.

The two father-in-laws looked at each other and smiled.

The Tianjia really gave the Jingfu a lot of face!

After this experience, Mrs. Jing's face became more rosy, and her smiling eyes were full of pride.

She squinted at Jian Xi, who was sitting next to Jicang, and raised her eyebrows.

In her heart, there was no young girl who could compare with her in appearance.

Even though those girls have fresh looks, they lack that convincing temperament.

They all look green when viewed from afar, and impetuous when viewed up close.

Jian Xi is a young woman who rarely makes her look at her differently.

From the moment I noticed Jian Xi when I entered the hospital, to now.

Mrs. Jing has already made an assessment in her heart.

This little hoof is no ordinary thing!

She naturally became polite to Jicang.

"I am just a mere mortal. It is an honor for me to be able to work so hard that Prince Shengxuan comes to my residence!"

Jicang said in a deep voice.

"Old madam, you don't have to be polite. I will give you my regards on behalf of my grandfather."

Mrs. Jing nodded and said with a smile.

"Prince Shengxuan is indeed a talented person and behaves calmly. The old prince is truly a blessed man!"

After saying that, Mrs. Jing looked at Jian Xi next to Jicang in feigned surprise and asked.

"Who is this girl? Her temperament... I'm afraid no lady in Beijing can compare with her!"

What seemed like words of praise actually filled Jian Xi with hatred.

Jian Xi was almost torn apart by the looks of various ladies.

Jicang omitted what he said to Mrs. Jing before and after.

"Jian Xi is my grandfather's savior and my favorite person."

Madam Jing reacted very quickly and asked in surprise and surprise.

"Which lady is this Miss Jian Xi? She is so young and has such great medical skills?"

Mrs. Jing was still drawing hatred for Jian Xi, and at the same time she also questioned Jian Xi's ability.

Before Jicang could answer, Jian Xi spoke.

"Jian Xi has no father or mother, so she does not deserve the praise of the old lady."

Finally coming to the point, Mrs. Jing sighed.

"I see..."

She looked at Jian Xi and Jicang and hesitated to speak.

She turned to Mr. Lou.

"No wonder the second lady is worried, it is understandable."

She said to Jicang sadly.

"My lord, it's difficult for your parents. You have to understand the second lady's hard work."

Mrs. Jing has said so. If Jicang continues to have a tough attitude, it will be really unfilial.

Lou looked at Jicang with sad eyes, hoping that Jicang would surrender in public.

Jicang had been troubled for many days because of the appearance of Master Wenmiao and Zhiyuan's testimony.

If what Yuan said is true, Lou deliberately framed Jian Xi in order to protect Lou Jiahui.

Jicang couldn't help but feel chilled, and he didn't even want to think about Lou's true intentions.

He couldn't really pursue Mrs. Lou's fault, all he could do was to repay Jian Xi's debt for her.

Jicang was thinking very well, but when he looked at Lou's face seriously, the anger was like an uncontrollable prairie fire, getting stronger and stronger!

Why?

Why!

Why on earth do you treat Jian Xi like this and deceive me like this?

Jian Xi would not talk about the family affairs of the royal family in front of everyone, nor would she deliberately pretend to be pitiful like Lou to gain sympathy.

She is biding her time.

The three little buns were very powerful and followed Dr. Sun to the secret room in the backyard of Jing Mansion.

Red Spider also discovered the mystery in the secret room.

It turned out that these dozen young children were being held in the secret room.

These children were not treated as humans, they were just presented to Mrs. Jing as fresh medicinal materials needed for the elixir.

And Dr. Sun came to Jing Mansion specially to get medicine for the beloved concubine in the palace!

Tianhe sent a message to Jian Xi and asked.

"What should I do, Mother?"

Jian Xi said.

"Bring those children."

Jian Xi also understands that these poor children should not be taken advantage of.

But there are some things that if you don’t see them with your own eyes, you will never understand how powerful they are!

This time, what Jian Xi wants is not ordinary public opinion, but the anger of the people of Zhou Dynasty!
