My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Concubine Xing glanced at her mother and saw that her face was a little red, so she whispered to the emperor.

Your Majesty, my mother is very drunk. I would like to take her down to sober up. Can you?

My dear concubine, just go. I'll have someone send Madam Xing the sobering soup to the side hall.

Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now.

After saying that, Concubine Xing stood up and asked the people around her to invite Mrs. Xing. Their departure naturally attracted some people's attention, but seeing that the emperor didn't express his position, the other courtiers would not say much.

After leaving the main hall, the mother and daughter went straight to the side hall.

It was just a glass of wine. Mrs. Xing drank too much. But after she came out and blew in the cold wind, she sobered up a lot.

After Concubine Xing listened for a while, she sighed and said.

Why did mother go to such a confrontation with the Gu family and the Guo family? Isn't this just to give people an excuse? Why didn't those ladies see the benefits of their calls before? When they saw you coming, someone rushed in front to support you. You are going to make enemies for our Xing family. How come you have been so smart all your life and yet you fell into such a trap when you came to Sui'an City?

Mrs. Xing was also a little annoyed at the moment. She was also known as a good person in Jinling City. How come she came to Sui'an City and ended up blocking other people's swords? So after suppressing her temper, she couldn't help but gossip.

Look at how old Mrs. Gu Du is. She is firmly sitting in the second position of Madam Gaoming. If it weren't for the fact that Madam Earl's Mansion is the Queen's biological mother, I'm afraid she would have to make way for her. We people , I have been busy all my life, and the result is still behind this girl's movie, how can I swallow this breath!

Moreover, our Xing family has tried every possible means to show off to the Gu family many times, but they pretended not to see it and just let it go. Instead, they are on good terms with the Earl's Mansion and the Li family. This is not an obvious intention to kiss the Yan family or not. Our Xing family? Do I still want to make her face?

Mrs. Xing spoke in a low voice. She also knew that she was in the palace, so she could not say anything casually. Who knew that Concubine Xing felt inappropriate after hearing this.

Not to mention that the Gu family and the Guo family have not made their stance clear yet. If my mother is in such a hurry to deal with these two people, isn't she just sending help to the queen? Mother is confused.

Mrs. Xing didn't look very good after hearing this. Of course she knew that these words should not be spoken today, but as soon as the words came to her lips, she seemed to ignore them, so she took Concubine Xing's hand and said .

Have I caused trouble for you? The Queen won't hold on to this matter, right?

Seeing that her mother had reacted, Concubine Xing did not continue to scare her, but spoke lightly.

I didn't do anything wrong. Even if the Queen wants to make things difficult for me, she can't. So don't worry, mother, but don't act impulsively in the future. Even if the Gu family and the Guo family don't help us in the future, they can never Push them to the Earl's Palace, do you understand?

Mrs. Xing is not stupid. Her own daughter has already talked about this. How can she still not understand? So he nodded and said.

Don't worry. I will personally apologize to them both during the warm-hearted banquet in a few days. I will never let the relationship deteriorate any further.

Concubine Xing nodded. It was a rare occasion for mother and daughter to see each other, so she brought the topic to the Seventh Prince, enjoying this moment of family bonding.

In the main hall, the singing and dancing continued.

After the little conflict just now, no one dared to offend Du Jingyi easily at this moment. The Vice Minister's wife Li and Mrs. Li who were sitting not far away from her also came while toasting to the Countess. Du Jingyi said next to him.

Mrs. Xing is really angry and doesn't care about the situation. Mrs. Gu, are you okay?

Du Jingyi smiled slightly. Although the Xing family were not good people, the Earl's Mansion and the Li family also had other thoughts. She was not stupid. How could she not hear such words that were rushed to add fuel to the fire?

Xue Niang and I also had a few jokes. It's hard to make Mrs. Xing angry during the Chinese New Year. I'll give her a toast later.

Mrs. Guo San looked at the two of them and said nothing more.

I just took the wine cup at hand and drank a little, and I didn't bother to look at the fake faces of these ladies anymore.

After a while, Mrs. Xing came back and sat down.

Before she even uttered her first sentence, Du Jingyi generously gestured to Xue Niang to hold the wine glasses together, and then said to Mrs. Xing.

“Mrs.

How could Mrs. Xing not appreciate Du Jingyi's offer, so she smiled kindly and said to her.

It's also my fault. I haven't gone north for many years, so I'm a little acclimated and started talking nonsense. Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Guo Si should not be weird. You must go to the Nuanju Banquet in a few days. , I will definitely make amends when the time comes.

As soon as she said this, Du Jingyi couldn't help but go.

So after looking at each other, Xue Niang smiled and replied.

The Xing family and the Gu family are already in a marriage relationship. If you are your host, we will naturally come to congratulate you.

In just two words, the original glint of swords and shadows became a joyful scene.

The ladies who had previously encouraged Mrs. Xing to cause trouble were a little embarrassed at the moment. The people in the Earl's Mansion and Mrs. Li who were sitting behind Du Jingyi, although their expressions were calm, felt like they had been warned.

Although Queen Yan was watching the singing and dancing, she could still see the scene here from the corner of her eye. When she saw Du Jingyi and Mrs. Xing toasting each other, her eyes dimmed slightly, but when she opened them again, they returned to their previous state.

A palace banquet is more about watching a show.

Everyone else had their own thoughts, but Mrs. Li was more concerned about her youngest daughter, Li Guibin, who had been promoted to the throne.

The day she gave birth to the princess was similar to the day her eldest daughter gave birth to her baby. Logically speaking, she was still in confinement in the palace, so she should have been taken care of more carefully. However, Mrs. Li looked carefully. Although her makeup and hair were exquisite, and her clothes were luxurious, there was a sense of exhaustion in her brows and eyes.

She couldn't compare with the eldest daughter in the Duke's mansion. Seeing this, Mrs. Li felt very distressed.

Perhaps her gaze was too sincere, so Li Guibin also felt that she was indeed not in good health now. The reason why she insisted on attending this palace banquet was for the sake of her family and her right to speak in the future.

I was afraid that my mother would be worried, so I wiped the sweat on my temples with a handkerchief and straightened my body quickly. No matter what, it would be good to make the family less worried. (End of chapter)
