The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

Hearing this, another girl in a red dress looked up and down Jiang Shiying, and then said, "It seems like I have never seen this girl before."

Chen Xi introduced to everyone: "This is the second girl from Jiang Shangshu's house, the head of Jiayi County, her name is Shiying."

Before anyone else could say anything, they heard the girl in the red dress laugh, with disdain in her words: "No wonder I feel unfamiliar, she turns out to be a concubine."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the pavilion instantly became condensed.

A girl next to her said: "I am now the head of the county."

The girl in the yellow shirt frowned and said to the girl in the red skirt: "Yuan Tingyu, this is the garden of the Enqinghou Mansion, not your Yuan family. You want to go back to the Yuan family."

Yuan Tingyu said: "Master Shen Xi hasn't spoken yet, but you have a lot to do."

Shen Xi was about to speak when Jiang Shiying suddenly smiled and asked, "I wonder which family this Miss Yuan is from?"

"My father is Dr. Zuo Jianyi, and my mother is the biological sister of the current mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager." Yuan Tingyu looked proud.

"Oh?" Jiang Shiying raised her eyebrows slightly: "I wonder what title Miss Yuan has? Or what kind of title she has?"

"No. Why do you ask?" Yuan Tingyu said.

"Then why don't you bow when you see the county lord who has been conferred by the imperial court?" Jiang Shiying looked at her. Although they were almost the same height, there was a condescending contempt in his eyes.

Hearing this, the girls in the pavilion were stunned, as if they had just come to their senses, and they all said to Jiang Shiying, "I have met the Lord of Jiayi County."

Jiang Shiying first helped Shen Xi up and said, "Why are you so polite to Sister Xi and me?"

Then he helped up the woman in yellow shirt who had just spoken for her and said, "This girl doesn't need to be polite."

Then he said to the others: "Girls, please forgive me."

Everyone bowed, but Yuan Tingyu still stood there, pointing at Jiang Shiying: "You——"

"Is Miss Yuan dissatisfied with the Holy Majesty's will or the regulations of the imperial court?" Jiang Shiying was so busy asking: "Do you need me, the head of the county, to teach Miss Yuan the rules?"

Yuan Tingyu gritted his teeth, but he could only bend his knees and salute: "I have met the county lord. I will wait and see how long the county lord can be proud."

After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Shiying's reaction, he flicked his sleeves and ran out of the pavilion.

Except for Shen Xi and the woman in yellow shirt, everyone else found excuses to leave the place.

"I haven't asked this girl for her name yet," Jiang Shiying said to the woman in yellow shirt.

"Her name is Chu Ruohan, just call her Ruohan." Shen Xi introduced her: "Ruohan is the youngest daughter of the Cheng family in Yushi Zhongcheng."

Jiang Shiying and Chu Ruohan asked each other their ages, and then called sister Aying and sister Ruohan.

She actually met Chu Ruohan. It's just that in the previous life, Chu Ruohan had already entered the palace and was known as Chu Guiren.

They are here today, getting along quite harmoniously, seemingly on the same side. However, it won't be long before the other party may be regarded as a rival or even an enemy.

Not only Chu Ruohan, but also several of the dozen girls just now will meet again in the palace in the future.

Near noon, a little maid came to the garden looking for someone, saying that the banquet had been prepared and you could take a seat.

The banquet was prepared in the garden.

The folk customs of the Jin Dynasty were relatively open, so the male guests and the female guests were only slightly separated by a curtain made of light gauze. The gauze was very thin, a vague figure could be vaguely seen, and the sound was clearly audible.

On the female guests' side, the ladies sat in one place, and the girls who had not left the palace sat in another place.

When ladies get together, they always like to talk about their children and their marriage. Somehow, he mentioned Zhao Mingyu, the second son of the Qingyang Marquis Mansion.

"It's really time for our brother Yu to see each other." Mrs. Qingyang Hou said.

Another lady next to me said, "I don't know what kind of daughter-in-law you want."

"I don't have any requirements, as long as he likes it." Mrs. Qingyang Hou seemed extremely open-minded.

Zhao Mingyu also came to the flower viewing party today, and his mother's words happened to be heard by him on the other side of the curtain. I saw him lifting a corner of the curtain, with some joy and disbelief in his eyes, looking at Mrs. Qingyang Hou, and said: "Does mother really mean what she said?"

Mrs. Qingyang Hou gave him an angry look and said: "Seriously, put down the curtain quickly and sit back, what does it look like now?

This is not the first year that Enqinghou Mansion held a flower-viewing banquet. In addition to flower-viewing, it also allowed young boys and girls to get to know each other and ladies to look at each other, which was another meaning of the banquet.

Therefore, many ladies laughed when they saw this scene, but they were not surprised. They only joked: "Looking like this, this child has a sweetheart."

Zhao Mingyu did not sit back as he was told, but walked to the female guest, knelt in front of his mother, and said: "My second cousin from Jiang Mansion and I have a mutual love, and I ask my mother to fulfill my promise."

Mrs. Qingyang Hou was dumbfounded: "You and Ah Ying are in love? But that child is going to be drafted into the palace."

As soon as these words came out, the nature of the matter changed.

If it was just as Zhao Mingyu said, then he and Jiang Shiying only had a little love for each other. Although it is not very polite, it is still a good story.

However, Jiang Shiying is going to enter the palace draft.

The Heavenly Family can help beautiful girls get married to officials' children.

But if the show girl still signs up to participate in the talent show even though she already has her heart set on something, it's a completely different matter.

The table became quiet, except for the sound of silk and bamboo, which made the atmosphere even more awkward.

At this time, a rather sharp female voice was heard: "I have long wanted to say that our Jiayi County Lord looks like he is not a peaceful person. As expected, ha."

Jiang Shiying looked over and saw that it was Yuan Tingyu who wanted to see how long she could be proud.

She ignored Yuan Tingyu and walked not far away from Mrs. Qingyang Hou and Zhao Mingyu, saying, "Although Mr. Zhao is ugly, he thinks beautifully."

Zhao Mingyu looked at her affectionately and seemed not to be bothered by her sarcasm. He said, "Cousin, you clearly have me in your heart, why don't you dare to admit it?"

Mrs. Jiang on the side said solemnly: "Brother Ming, a woman's reputation is very important and cannot be tarnished. You said that Aying and you have an affair, do you have any evidence?"

This statement seems to be to defend Jiang Shiying, but in fact it is just to elicit so-called "evidence".

Zhao Mingyu nodded and said: "Of course there is."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Shiying and said, "Cousin, do you really want me to produce the so-called evidence? I don't want us to come to this point."

That look and tone are so affectionate!

Jiang Shiying sneered and said, "Oh? Since Mr. Zhao has evidence, please bring it out. I'm also curious about what this so-called evidence is."

Zhao Mingyu looked at her with a heartbroken expression and said, "The evidence is the dragonfly hairpin in your hair. This is a token of our love. If you didn't have me in your heart, how could you still wear it at this time?" Wearing the hairpin I gave you?"

After hearing Zhao Mingyu's words, everyone looked at the red dragonfly hairpin in Jiang Shiying's hair. That hairpin obviously did not match the other hairpins, but it appeared on her head. Could it be that what Zhao Mingyu said was true?

Jiang Shiying smiled, but did not look at Zhao Mingyu, but at Mrs. Jiang, and said: "This dragonfly hairpin was given to me by my mother. When my mother gave it to me, she never said it was from Mr. Zhao. I I thought it was because my mother loved me so much that she gave me such gorgeous jewelry. I didn’t expect that it was actually used to set up a trap?"

At this point, she sighed: "No wonder when I went out in the morning, my mother saw that I wasn't wearing this hairpin and tried her best to persuade me to put it on."

Mrs. Jiang had already thought of this and was not panicked at the moment: "Oh? When did I give you the dragonfly hairpin? Why didn't I know. You kid, even if you did something wrong, you only need to admit it when you know it was wrong. Why do you still go there? Where's the dirty water on my mother? We don't have such a tutor in our family."

"When my mother presented me with my hairpin, and when she advised me to wear the hairpin, my third sister was right next to me," Jiang Shiying said calmly.

Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Shiyue with unclear meaning in her eyes: "In that case, third girl, tell me, was this hairpin given to your second sister by me?"
