The girl who wears fast

Chapter 496 The Palace Lady Wants to Retire (22)

The wife of the Minister of Rites saw the servant girl coming in, and quickly asked, "Is there a reply from General Shi's wife?"

The maid hurriedly took out Wen Shichu's reply note: "Yes."

Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites picked it up and looked at it, she couldn't help frowning, and said: "This general's wife is really arrogant, I can't even invite her if I want to, hum."

When Master Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites came back from the palace, Mrs. Shangshu called him over, took out Wen Shichu's reply, and said angrily: "You asked me to invite Shi Li's wife, I did, but she It's not my fault that he didn't want to deal with us at all."

Master Shang Shu read the reply, and was a little surprised: "She doesn't want to invite? She doesn't even give our family face?"

"Hmph, what is our family? Shi Li is a deviant, didn't you see that he doesn't even recognize his own father? He doesn't want to pay attention to us at all." Mrs. Shang Shu said.

The Minister of Rites threw the reply aside and said: "Forget it this time, you can invite again next time, if you can't invite again, you will take the initiative to come to be a guest."

Mrs. Shang Shu was immediately upset when she heard this, and said, "I still have to come to find her in person? Why? It's already a matter of time for me to take the initiative to invite her to the banquet. You still want me to come and find her on my own initiative." Her? I am quite old, and I have to please an old maid for your good nephew? Do you think of me as your wife? Your good nephew wants to win over Shi Li, so let me be the one My aunt is his pawn, and I am not his mother, so why should I humiliate myself for him?!"

Seeing that his wife was angry, Master Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites quickly comforted him: "We are also doing this for the sake of future generations. If the eldest prince ascends to the throne, as his mother clan, how can we be less honored? Conglong's contribution is not It’s so easy to earn, our sons have no great prospects, and we can only continue the family’s century-old glory by following this path. Otherwise, if other princes ascend the throne, will our family still have a good life? Can be down..."

Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites talked badly, so he persuaded Mrs. Shang Shu, and made her willing to continue to make friends with Wen Shichu.

But Wen Shichu is not something that they can get along with if they want to. She is much more difficult to deal with than ordinary ladies. She is not interested at all when they invite her to a banquet; It is not easy to entertain guests at home; when people want to "run into" her outside, she often chokes others without saying a few words, and then she leaves calmly...

She was simply more difficult to deal with than Shi Li, and she made the female family members who wanted to start with her helpless.

The invitations of other housekeepers and female family members can be ignored, but there is only one family that even Wen Shichu cannot refuse, and that is the royal family. After all, Shi Li does not intend to rebel, so Wen Shichu has to give the royal family a face.

The queen is going to hold a flower viewing banquet, and invited all the female family members to the palace to participate. Wen Shichu was also included in the palace. When she received the invitation from the palace, she still felt a little strange. After all, this would be her leaving the palace. After returning to the palace for the first time, but after going back this time, her identity has been completely different. Before, she was an ordinary court lady who could only keep a low profile. Those who were higher than her had to be respectful; She is already the wife of a first-rank general, and no one can underestimate her.

"Although you enter the palace, for your husband's sake, those people don't dare to do anything to you. If you are wronged inside, you don't have to bear it for me. Just vent it out. As long as your husband and I If you don't fall for a day, they have to respect you for a day." Shi Li told Wen Shichu.

"Then what if it's the empress or the emperor making things difficult for me?" Wen Shichu asked him deliberately.

"Hmph, if they had some brains, they wouldn't make things difficult for you." Although Shi Li is famous for being good at fighting, it doesn't mean that he has no brains and is not sensitive to politics. On the contrary, he has a clear view of the affairs of the court Naturally, he knew that he was in this position. As long as he did not rebel, even the emperor had to fear him and endure him at the same time.

"Then I'll take advantage of your power to make a fool of yourself." Wen Shichu touched Shi Li's chin and said with a smile.

Shi Li was tickled by her touch, couldn't help but took her hand, then kissed her, and said, "It's my honor."

On the day of the flower viewing feast, the queen was dressing up. She looked at herself in the mirror who was no longer beautiful, stroked her temple hair, and asked the maid who was standing beside her: "Qingyi, I heard that you used to have the best relationship with Wen Shichu. What kind of person is she? Tell me well."

Qingyi is a good friend of the original owner in the palace. When the two were young maids, they lived in the same dormitory. Later, the two gradually achieved the position of the eldest palace lady, and they did not lose contact. Occasionally, they talked together. Talk, but if you say that you have a very good relationship and know each other very well, that’s not enough. After all, they are both on duty, but they don’t have much free time, and the time they are on duty is different, and the things they do are also different. Want to It's hard to find the same time when everyone is free.

Qingyi replied nervously: "Mother, this servant and Wen Shangyi, no, Mrs. Shi have known each other for more than ten years. When they first entered the palace, this servant and Mrs. Shi lived in the same house. Mrs. Shi's personality Gentle and kind, gets along well with everyone, doesn't quarrel with others, and is hardworking and willing to do things..."

Qingyi told the queen everything about the original owner, including her own description of the original owner's character.

The original owner is indeed a gentle and kind-hearted woman. She does not strive to be strong, nor does she want to be strong. He died on the eve of leaving the palace.

However, as a space beast, Shi Chu has nothing to do with the character of the original owner. Shi Chu is not a gentle and kind woman. The calculation was wrong.

Wen Shichu changed into a dress and brought people into the palace, and other official family members also arrived one after another. Wen Shichu was not familiar with them, but most of them knew each other. After all, when the original owner was a maid in the palace, I have seen these women.

"Mrs. Shi, are you here too?" A pretty lady in her 20s came over to Chaowen Shichu and said with a smile.

"Mrs. Wang, I just arrived too." Wen Shichu replied politely. This Mrs. Wang is Wang Yushi's second wife. She is young and beautiful. The children don't care anymore, which is commonly known as "where there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather".
