The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 3 A clever confrontation with Zhao Yuan'er

Zhenguo Gongfu is the head of the Daqi gentry. Today's birthday banquet for the old lady is naturally packed with distinguished guests, and cars and horses are lined up for most of the street.

Li Ling and his cousin Li Xian greeted the male guests at the front door, while Jingshu followed Xu Wanning to greet the female guests at the side door.

Xu Wanning is the second daughter of Duke Jingguo. Today she is wearing a luxurious dress made of Shu brocade. She looks grand and luxurious, but she is still compared with the unparalleled beauty Jing Shu who stands aside.

When guests entering the palace see the Crown Prince's wife, they always subconsciously take a few more glances.

Not only was this bride of the Duke's Mansion extremely beautiful, but she was also courteous and prudent in her dealings with others, without the shyness of a bride. All the distinguished guests who came and went secretly admired Jing Shu, even those who were jealous, seeing such brilliance and brilliance.

Jingshu could only swallow the sour water in her stomach.

If it were her previous life, she would definitely hide in front of the old lady and be a little transparent like Li Ling arranged.

It's not that she has a reserved temperament and is not good at socializing. She is the eldest daughter in the family. Her biological mother passed away early, and her stepmother was born in a humble family and is not good at socializing. Therefore, she takes care of all the banquets in the house and the reception and delivery.

At that time, no one in the circle of noble ladies would praise her for being dignified, smart and capable.

But later, she accidentally fell into the water while on a boat trip with her family during the Dragon Boat Festival, and was rescued by Li Ling. She lost her virginity. This is like a diamond that was originally perfect, but with a little flaw, it is particularly conspicuous. Those with dark hearts

People will never tire of holding on to it.

At that time, it was like she fell from the clouds to the ground, and she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

When she started over, she understood: If she couldn't treat herself kindly, then she would only expect others to treat her kindly.

Just like now, as the wife of the Crown Prince of Zhenguo Palace, she stands in front of everyone in a glamorous manner, and no one dares to look down upon her.

Xu Wanning was born as a general and was a cheerful person. Seeing Jingshu's elegant and elegant behavior, she liked it. Taking advantage of the break between receiving guests, she leaned into Jingshu's ear and asked: "It's your first time here. How about you get used to it?"

As for this cousin-in-law, Jingshu was grateful to her because she had taken care of her at the Zhenguo Palace in her previous life. She smiled and said: "I'm okay. Everything was complicated when I first arrived.

I haven’t had time to meet my sister-in-law yet.”

"Don't worry now, we will spend a lot of time together in the future. In the past, I was the only daughter-in-law among the younger generation in the house, and I was very lonely. But this time, it's better. You are here, and I have company."

Xu Wanning saw that Jingshu's complexion was much better than when she first entered the house. She had been here before, so she naturally understood the difficulty of being a bride. She didn't expect that Jingshu would adapt to it so quickly. The young couple must have got along very well: "Second brother, right?"

Are you okay?"

Jing Shu thought about Li Ling's cold temperament and couldn't think of anything good to say to praise him, so she said, "He's okay."

"My second brother is cold-tempered, please be more considerate." Xu Wanning acted like a eldest sister-in-law.

While the two were talking, the carriage of Li Ling's mother, Princess Fuxi, came from afar.

The eldest princess has been at odds with the Duke for many years. She lives alone in the princess mansion and rarely comes back.

Although they are close relatives, the etiquette cannot be discarded. When everyone saw the eldest princess Luan Jia, they immediately knelt down in a crowd.

The eldest princess Fuxi was well-maintained. Although she was over forty, she still retained her charm and graceful bearing. She was supported by the palace maid and slowly got out of the car. After ordering everyone to level up, she walked inside without squinting.

When passing by Jing Shu, Fu Xi looked slightly calm, stopped slowly, nodded approvingly, and said, "This outfit suits you well today."

Jingshu quickly returned the gift: "Thank you, mother-in-law, for the compliment."

The eldest princess nodded slightly, and without any more words, she was helped into the palace slowly by the palace maid.

Her princess mother-in-law is not an ordinary aloof person, and she is not on good terms with the Duke of Zhen. Not to mention anyone else, she does not say a word to Li Ling, the third master and the third girl, her own children, every time she comes back.

talk.

Seeing the eldest princess praising Jingshu, Xu Wanning was surprised and couldn't help but envy her again.

How wonderful it is that the princess does not live in the palace and does not have the control and suppression of her mother-in-law!

After welcoming the distinguished guests, it was still some time before they left the table, so Jingshu followed Xu Wanning to the old lady's place to entertain them.

The old lady was wearing a bright red Zhai coat with Baifu characters, and she was in good spirits.

When everyone saw her two grandsons-in-law, one was cheerful and capable, the other was quiet and generous, they couldn't help but flatter the old man: "You are so lucky, not all the top-notch women in Chang'an City have been suppressed.

She has been married to the Duke of Guo. With such a wonderful granddaughter-in-law to look after her, even the old Antarctic birthday star would be jealous."

The old lady smiled and said humbly to everyone: "They are not as good as you praise. They are still young and will have to practice in the future."

"My eldest sister-in-law comes from a noble family, so she is naturally capable and knowledgeable. My second sister-in-law is like this. When I first entered the family, it is really rare to be able to behave like this in terms of etiquette. My uncle and grandma can teach people."

The speaker was Zhao Yuan'er, a cousin of the Zhenguo Duke's Palace and the youngest daughter of the Jian County Prince's Palace.

As soon as she said these words, everyone shut their mouths, and the originally bustling hall suddenly fell into an awkward silence.

These words were obviously meant to praise the old lady, but in fact no one could tell that they were mocking Jing Shu for her low background.

Some people looked down upon Zhao Yuan'er's acrimony, while others secretly glanced at Jing Shu as if they were watching a show, waiting to see the new crown prince's wife's joke.

In the last life, Zhao Yuan'er also humiliated her like this in public. Not only this time, but every time they met later, she would try to embarrass her, both verbally and externally, to embarrass her.

In this life, she must let her have a long memory.

When the old lady saw that Zhao Yuan'er was disrespectful to her grandson-in-law, she felt very unhappy: To be disrespectful to her daughter-in-law is to be disrespectful to the government of the country.

But she couldn't be as knowledgeable as a child. She looked at Xu Wanning and signaled her eldest grandson-in-law to come forward.

But before Xu Wanning could speak, Jing Shu replied: "Sister Yuan is right. We women are raised by our parents and study hard in our boudoir. Don't we just hope that one day we can marry into an innocent family and respect our parents-in-law?"

, auxiliary husband, will you be loved and respected by your husband's family? It is indeed my blessing to be able to marry into the Zhenguo Duke's mansion and have a grandmother like the old lady to teach and care for me.

Jingshu paused and continued: "This is something that no one else can ask for."

Zhao Yuan'er has an average appearance and a dark complexion. Just because she is the daughter of a county princess, she originally wanted to marry Li Ling and become the crown prince's wife. How could Mrs. Li fall in love with such an unscrupulous and ugly woman? The princess had just married her

After revealing a little bit, the old lady refused.

Jing Shu looked at Zhao Yuan'er, her face still smiling, but the last sentence she said was meaningful.

The people present were all human beings. Although they didn't know the inside story, seeing Zhao Yuan'er embarrassing Jing Shu in public and Jing Shu speaking implicitly, they all figured it out in their mind.

Li Ling was a talented man in both civil and military affairs, and he was handsome and handsome. He was recognized as a good match among the rich and powerful in Chang'an City.

In terms of family status, the daughter of the Shen family is indeed high-ranking. But in terms of appearance, talent, virtue and mind, a hundred Zhao Yuan'ers cannot compare to one daughter of the Shen family.

With Zhao Yuan'er's virtue, she actually dared to take advantage of the crown prince of Zhenguo Palace.

You really overestimate your capabilities.

Everyone didn't show it on their faces, but in their eyes and in their hearts they despised Zhao Yuan'er.

Zhao Yuan'er was so scolded that she couldn't utter a word. Her originally dark face turned red from embarrassment, making her look even more ugly.

The old lady's birthday banquet was held in front of all the noble ladies, and Jing Shu didn't want to cause too much trouble.

After she said this, she saw that Zhao Yuan'er looked embarrassed, so she changed the subject and said, "Sister Yuan is a royal daughter and has a straightforward nature. She will definitely be better off than my sister-in-law in the future."

Give a sweet date after a slap in the face, this is true generosity!

Although she is a bride, she is the future mistress of the Zhenguo Palace. She has a small belly and must retaliate, which is not the behavior of a head of the family.

The house is full of distinguished guests. At least, you have to do enough to save face.

Princess Zhao of Jian County was sitting aside, feeling embarrassed for her daughter who was not up to par. When Jingshu gave her the steps, she immediately continued: "My daughter is spoiled by our prince." She looked at her daughter and said angrily:

"From now on, you should learn more from your elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law. With such a temper, what will you do if you get to your husband's house?"

Jing Shu smiled brightly and said, "I just entered the house and I am worried that I don't have a companion to talk to. Naturally, I welcome my sister to come and visit me often."

Mrs. Zhao secretly pushed her daughter, and Zhao Yuan'er hesitated awkwardly: "Second sister-in-law said so, then I will come to the house more often to disturb her from now on."

Without waiting for Jing Shu to answer, Xu Wanning rushed to say: "I also like sister Yuan's frankness, oh! It's just that these frequent visits are not closer than a family. If my sister can marry our Zhenguo government, we will live together day by day.

It would be nice to be in one place.”

When Mrs. Zhao heard Xu Wanning mention this again, she became a little worried, and the color on Zhao Yuan'er's face became even more embarrassing.

Xu Wanning despised Zhao Yuan'er's arrogant behavior just because of her birth. She continued reluctantly: "It's a pity that our second master has already married a sweet wife, and the remaining third and fourth masters are not weak yet. What if?

We are of the same age, and if my sister can marry her, wouldn't everyone be happy?"

No matter how arrogant Zhao Yuan'er was, she was still a girl who had not left the court. When Xu Wanning married her from the left, she was so embarrassed that she almost shed tears when she was told that she was married to her again.

Mrs. Li quickly smoothed things over and said, "Old man, please don't make trouble with your sister anymore."

Only then did Xu Wanning stop talking.

The old lady smiled and said to the left and right: "These children, they will think about each other even if they don't meet, and they will make trouble when they meet. You can talk about it, and you are not afraid of being laughed at by outsiders."

Everyone echoed: "No matter how old you are, you are still a child in front of the elderly. Only when you are lively and lively do you look like a family."

"That's right, the sisters become closer the more they fight."

"Someone is making a fuss. It's hard for you to think about your youth."

Talking and laughing resumed in the hall, and the trouble was finally over.

Zhao Yuan'er was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to speak any more, and Princess Li of Jian County was so angry that her daughter lost her mood. The two of them made excuses and went back before the banquet started.

Mrs. Li didn't stay long. After experiencing this scene, she had some thoughts about the two grandsons-in-law: although the eldest granddaughter-in-law was straightforward and capable, she was too clear-minded about right and wrong and had an impetuous temperament. On the other hand, the younger grandson-in-law, when she first entered the house,

Seeing her shy behavior, she was originally worried that she was incapable of taking care of things and might not be able to shoulder the burden of being a mistress in the future. Today in front of everyone, she saw that she was calm and calm in situations, and at such a young age she was able to leave room for advancement and retreat.

He looks like a man with a big heart and a lot of energy.

Mrs. Li is very satisfied with this grandson-in-law.

Of course, it would be even more satisfying to her if the two daughters-in-law could share the same spirit.
