Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

"Third Miss, you..." Just as she was about to use her power in the mansion to teach the girl in front of her a lesson, Mother Xi became keenly aware of the gazes around her.

He quickly changed his tone, bowed respectfully, and said anxiously: "Madam, please ask this old servant to come and call the third young lady over."

"Yes, Mom Xi." Su Xinqing stood up and Banxia hurried over to support her.

When Xi's mother saw the master and servant, who looked like they knew nothing and were extremely respectful, she spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling very uncomfortable.

Therefore, no one saw the food that Su Xinqing hid in her sleeves before leaving.

As expected, Su Xinqing stood in front of the pavilion she had just walked past for more than an hour.

Fortunately, she had her secret stash of pastries, otherwise, even if it was just a case of low blood sugar, Su Xinqing would have made a fool of herself.

"My daughter Su Xinqing pays respects to mother." Today, Su Xinqing was wearing a lake blue scale-stitched pipa-sleeved Haixi cloth with a round collar and yellow-brown embroidered Guangling pattern. She was wearing a military green and brown camellia silk skirt that trailed on the ground. Her slender waist was tied with a pink and yellow floral pattern embroidered belt, and a silver silk lotus purse was hung on it. Her outfit was neither very eye-catching nor very embarrassing.

However, he kept his head down since he entered the room, although he had followed the rules and etiquette well.

This still made Li very unhappy. She looked at her biological daughter and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Okay, your sister wants to go out for a walk. You can go with your sister. Let your sister get to know more noble ladies in the capital. You are getting older and will be the mistress of the house in the future. It is not a good idea to always hide in the house timidly. Today is the palace banquet and most of the noble ladies from aristocratic families are here. Let your sister get to know them. Go." After that, Li instructed Su Xinya again, "Take good care of your sister!"

Su Xinya stood up with great grace and performed a standard etiquette. Every frown and smile of hers was beautiful.

The sound of her opening voice was as sweet as the song of an oriole. The ladies and young ladies of the dukes, marquises, and earls' residences, as well as the ladies and young ladies of the imperial court, who were present, were all attracted by Su Xinya.

Although he knew that his own daughter was very outstanding, it was undeniable that comparing people would make one feel nauseous, and comparing goods would lead to them being thrown away.

It was not until the two sisters walked a long way away that the ladies reacted and kept praising and complimenting them.

After all, few of the ladies living in the capital are stupid.

It's just the icing on the cake. Everyone will do this, no matter how dissatisfied they are in their heart, they won't show it on their face.

"Countess Yong'an, you are so lucky to have such a daughter. You will be blessed for a long time!"

"Who says it's not true? If we have a girl like Ya'er in our family, I can live my whole life without having a son."

"The Countess of Yong'an is kindhearted and favored by God. Madam Li, didn't you see that the Countess of Yong'an even asked the legitimate daughter to take good care of the concubine's daughter? In my opinion, such a concubine's daughter should be assigned to a random family and married far away. Why waste so much energy and delay the legitimate daughter's time!"

"..."

Even after walking a long way, Su Xinqing seemed to still hear the ladies complimenting Li.

It's no wonder why Li asked Xi's mother to find him. It turns out that he needed me as a tool again.

"Third sister, what are you thinking about?" Su Xinya looked at the half-sister in front of her who she could not understand.

"Big sister... I... I didn't think about anything else. I just thought, did I bring shame to our Su family again? Fourth sister and eighth sister, if they knew, they would probably be angry again?" Su Xinqing became more and more sad as she spoke, as if she was really afraid that she would do something wrong and bring shame to the Su family.

What Su Xinqing didn't expect was Su Xinya's next move.

A pair of soft, boneless, white, tender and smooth hands, which were nurtured by countless herbs and good things, held onto his dark yellow, rough hands.

"Don't worry, third sister. With grandma and mother here, no one will say anything bad about you. Just be yourself."

Su Xinqing could feel the power covering her hands.

It seems that through contact, Su Xinqing can become more confident and brave.

"Okay, thank you, big sister."

After hearing Su Xinqing's answer, Su Xinya nodded slightly, motioning Su Xinqing to follow her.

"Cousin, you finally came out? If you didn't come out, they would have forced me in to find you." Li Xue, the third daughter of the Earl of Dingxi, saw Su Xinya coming.

He stood up immediately and walked quickly to greet him.

However, after seeing Su Xinqing behind Su Xinya, her smiling face quickly drooped and she complained in a low voice: "Cousin, aunt is the same. Today is a palace banquet, and she brought her along. It would be fine for an ordinary banquet, but today is such an important occasion, aunt brought her along. It's really embarrassing. Even our Dingxi Earl's Mansion will be laughed at."

Li Xue was the youngest daughter of Zhang, the aunt of the Earl of Dingxi, and was very much loved by Zhang.

So, this is how I usually talk to Su Xinqing.

Su Xinqing was already used to hearing this. It could be said that Li Xue was quite polite today, and that was only for the sake of the palace's face.

"Cousin, you can't say that. Third sister is half a year older than you. You should call her sister." Su Xinya scolded as usual.

Li Xue didn't feel anything strange when she heard it. She smiled sweetly, blinked her eyes, then took Su Xinya's arm and walked over to the place where the noble ladies from aristocratic families had been chatting.

He did not forget to look back at Su Xinqing with a provocative look.

However, Su Xinqing never looked up at her the whole time, and Li Xue punched the cotton.

The smiling face also froze.

After Su Xinya entered the crowd, she was quickly surrounded.

"Sister Su, I heard you're back? Are you feeling better now? Sister Su looks much prettier now."

"Wow, Sister Su, the clothes you are wearing are so beautiful. Is it the latest material from Caiyun Pavilion? The shopkeeper of Caiyun Pavilion just came to our house yesterday. Why didn't I see the shopkeeper bring this material? Why doesn't he like our house?"

"Miss Zhou, you are wrong. It's not that the shopkeeper looks down on your house. This is obviously Ruan Yanluo from Jiangnan. There are only a few pieces of material produced every year. Didn't they say that all of it was offered as tribute? How come there is something in the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion? Could it be that some noble in the palace gave it to the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion? I only heard about it from Princess Showa when I followed my mother to the palace to express gratitude. Otherwise, I would not have recognized this material." The person who spoke was Liu Yulian, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue. Her elder sister entered the palace less than two years ago and gave birth to a little princess for the emperor.

She is also the emperor's youngest princess and is deeply loved by the emperor.
