A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

On the sedan chair from the palace gate to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Su Qingyu was still thinking about the scene just now.

That man had drunk with Mr. Zhou several times, and he had contact with people in the palace. What is the connection between them?

Could it be that some noble in the palace needs to see a doctor? Even if he needs to see a doctor, there is no need to go through so much trouble. It is easier to ask Shen Zhixiu to speak for him than to ask this person.

Or is it just a coincidence?

Su Qingyu rode in the sedan chair all the way to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but she still hadn't figured out the intricacies of the situation.

I just hope I can meet that person today so that I can resolve the doubts in my heart.

When Su Qingyu and Shen Yue got out of the sedan chair, many people had already arrived in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

When the two of them went in, Concubine Xian naturally had not arrived yet.

The ladies and young ladies gathered in groups of three or four to talk.

No one from the Song family came today, probably because of what happened last time, and they wanted to stay away from Concubine Xian and the Crown Prince.

A young palace maid came forward and led the two of them to sit down.

But before she took two steps, Su Qingyu heard voices behind her.

"I never thought this girl would do something so immoral. It was a wise move to cancel the engagement."

Su Qingyu frowned and turned to look at the person who spoke.

It was the old lady of the Zhang family, the old wife of the Xuanwu Marquis, and Zhang Pan’s grandmother.

Old Madam Zhang was of medium build, with her silver hair neatly combed.

She was just talking to Madam Qin of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. Madam Qin looked at Su Qingyu awkwardly. She stepped forward and explained, "Don't mind, Madam Shen San. The old lady is old and a little hard of hearing. She...actually didn't want to say it in public, she deliberately lowered her voice."

After saying this, Mrs. Qin felt embarrassed. No matter how you look at it, it's not nice to talk about people behind their backs.

She was also wronged, she just greeted Old Lady Zhang and glanced at Shen Yue. Who would have thought that the old lady would say it out loud like this.

But everyone knew what she said, but because she was hard of hearing, they thought she was whispering.

Madam Qin grumbled in her heart, "What a shame, Concubine Xian! Why would she bother this person in such a cold weather?"

In fact, she was wronging Concubine Xian. Old Lady Zhang came here on her own. She wanted to choose a good grandson's wife for her grandson. When she heard that Concubine Xian was holding a palace banquet to entertain the wives of clansmen and noble ladies from various mansions, she had this idea.

Su Qingyu couldn't let anyone say that about Shen Yue, but considering the other person's age and status, she couldn't just go up and yell at him.

It was even difficult to calmly say a few words of rebuttal, because if he wanted Old Lady Zhang to hear him clearly, he had to shout.

Su Qingyu felt that by doing this, she and the Shen family would lose their dignity. If others heard it, they would only criticize Shen Yue even more.

They are not afraid of what others say, but they also don't want to be criticized.

Su Qingyu thought about it and suddenly walked in front of Old Lady Zhang.

The corners of his lips moved, but no sound came out. He seemed to be speaking, but not speaking.

Everyone around knew that Su Qingyu didn't say anything, but Old Lady Zhang didn't know. She tilted her ear to listen, but heard nothing. But she saw Su Qingyu's expression clearly, and there was no smile on her cold face. In this state, what good words could she say?

So when Su Qingyu stopped moving her lips, Old Lady Zhang immediately asked the maid beside her, "What did she say about me? Did she scold me?"

The servants around her naturally knew her temper. They whispered in her ear: "The old lady misunderstood. Madam Shen San didn't say anything."

It would have been fine if the maid had explained what Su Qingyu had said, but the maid's words made the old lady think that Su Qingyu had said something extremely unpleasant, and the maid didn't even dare to repeat it.

She looked at Madam Qin again, "Tell me, what did she say about me?"

The Zhang family and the Qin family are related. Mrs. Qin is the junior of old lady Zhang, so the old lady speaks casually.

Madam Qin looked embarrassed and leaned close to her ear and said, "Aunt, Madam Shen San really didn't say anything."

Su Qingyu didn't care about anything else and took Shen Yue to sit down.

After what she did today, I'm afraid the old lady won't be able to sleep at night. She wants to know what she said even in her dreams.

Shen Yue was overjoyed and whispered, "Aunt San is really good at this. It's more torturous than scolding."

No one can find fault with it, and it even makes Old Lady Zhang furious.

Su Qingyu thought that she should actually thank Old Lady Zhang. If she hadn't intervened, her brother's marriage would not have been possible.

Su Qingyu, who was talking in a low voice with Shen Yue, did not notice that someone came in from the entrance of the hall and sat in the last seat.

After a while, the eunuch's sharp voice came in, "The virtuous concubine has arrived."

Immediately afterwards, Su Xiangling and Li Chaoyun stood behind Concubine Xian and accompanied her into the hall.

Although Concubine Xian was deposed because of Li Chaoyun, and Li Chaoyun had a miscarriage because of Concubine Xian, it seems today that the relationship between the two has returned to its former closeness.

It's probably just a matter of interest, and no one knows whether there is any rift in their hearts.

Su Xiangling was wearing a honey-colored palace dress. Judging from her waistline, she was not pregnant yet. But her charming face was obviously rounder.

Everyone stood up and knelt down to pay their respects to the virtuous concubine and wish her a happy new year.

Afterwards, Li Chaoyun returned to his seat, and Su Xiangling stood behind Concubine Xian to serve her. Even though she was just standing behind to serve, it was enough to show how much Concubine Xian valued her.

Palace banquets are all the same, nothing more than some high-sounding words, a few glasses of wine as a courtesy, singing and dancing over and over again, nothing new.

Su Qingyu sat for a while and felt bored.

She sat upright in her seat, either chatting with Shen Yue or staring blankly at the singing and dancing in the hall.

After the singing and dancing, it was time for the young ladies to show their talents. Fortunately, Su Qingyu was already married, and Shen Yue was still having an affair with Li Yunzhou, so it was not their turn to show their talents.

But even if she just watched it, Su Qingyu was tired of it.

The young lady from the Li family who was playing the piano at this time was already the eighth person to play the piano today.

Su Qingyu looked towards the entrance of the hall and planned to go out for some fresh air.

His eyes suddenly fell on the man near the door.

Shen Yue saw that Su Qingyu was looking at the door, so she followed her gaze.

"Isn't that the second wife of the Su family? Why is she here? Normally, she has no right to come to an occasion like today."

Su Qingyu said in a low voice, "Our concubine Su is favored by the virtuous queen, so it's not a big deal to show her grace."

At this time, He was talking to several ladies beside her, looking very proud.

Su Qingyu was about to look away when a figure suddenly flashed past the Hall of Supreme Harmony. She didn't see clearly, but she felt that he looked a bit like the person she met outside the palace today.

Just then, Concubine Xian stood up and said she was going to change her clothes.

While everyone was getting up, Su Qingyu also quickly got up and left the hall.
