Gu Xiuyun was very displeased. Although his sister was not good, she couldn't tolerate others talking about her. It's just that this sister-in-law was born higher than her, and her dowry was bigger than her. She had three sons, so she was also liked by the eldest princess.No matter how much resentment she had, she didn't dare to express it directly. She could only explain: "Our family's food is really good, but I got used to it for a while when I married into my in-law's family. There are so many people with different tastes. No matter how good the cook is, he can't please everyone. The meals prepared by the cooks in the Eastern Palace must be just right for Fifth Younger Sister."

Gu Fuyun nodded: "Well, today's meal is more to my taste than yesterday's meal in the imperial dining room."

The young daughter-in-law opposite laughed lightly.

Gu Xiuyun looked at this person with displeasure, and said with a smile: "Where is this grandma from? I think she looks very unfamiliar, and I have never seen her before."

Before the young woman could introduce herself, Mrs. Ning Guogong and the second wife said, "This is my niece and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Deng, the eldest daughter-in-law of Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Zuo Shancheng who just came back to Beijing."

The two lakes refer to Hunan and Hubei. Governors are courtiers temporarily appointed by the imperial court, and most of them are concurrently served by officials from both the court and the central government.And the officials who can also serve as the governor must be at least four ranks or above.

Contempt flashed in Gu Xiuyun's eyes: "It turns out that she is the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family, what a disrespect."

But Mrs. Deng looked at Gu Xiuyun with pride in her eyes, and smiled slightly: "Which family's daughter-in-law is this grandma?"

Mrs. Ning Guogong's second wife introduced: "This is the second daughter-in-law of the Princess Anyang's mansion, Second Grandma Zhao."

The eldest princess' daughter-in-law, isn't that a relative of the emperor?Mrs. Deng was startled, and hurriedly said: "So it's the second grandmother Zhao, I'm sorry and disrespectful."

Gu Xiuyun smiled reservedly, and was about to speak when the second wife of Ning Guogong pointed to Xiao Shi and said, "This is the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest princess, Grandma Zhao. Grandma Zhao is also the eldest daughter of the Zhenbei Marquis Xiao's family."

Gu Xiuyun: "..."

"Of course, Second Granny Zhao's background is not bad, she is the eldest daughter of the Earl's Mansion of Yongning." Second Mrs. Ning Guogong added another sentence.

Gu Xiuyun: "..."

Gu Fuyun, who reacted a little slower, finally understood, how dare the second Mrs. Ning Guo is praising Grandma Zhao and stepping on Gu Xiuyun?Looking at Gu Xiuyun with eyes full of question marks, he said to himself, are you usually a mess?It's fine to be crushed by his sister-in-law, but he was stepped on by Duke Ning's second wife.

Gu Xiuyun pursed her lips, feeling unhappy in her heart.She has no friendship with Mrs. Ning Guogong's second wife, so it can't be said that she has a bad relationship.It's just that he has a good relationship with Xiao Shi.

So Gu Xiuyun could only rely on Gu Fuyun, so he introduced to Deng Shi: "This is my natal sister..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a palace official.

An elderly palace official came to Gu Fuyun's side and said respectfully: "Madam Gu, the Crown Princess, please speak up front."

Gu Fuyun nodded, and after eating the roast goose in his hand, he slowly wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, and then smiled apologetically at the petrified wives and grandmas: "Sorry, I'll excuse you first."

After Gu Fuyun left, Mrs. Yongping Bo Shizi quickly asked Gu Xiuyun: "Second Grandma Zhao, didn't your younger sister marry into the Chu family? How could you be called Mrs. Gu?"

Dashengchao's appellation is quite particular, and most of those who can be called madam are of a certain age.Such a young lady is not common, let alone called by her surname.Only those who are noble and have the right to speak can be called by the surname Mrs. Jia.

Gu Xiuyun was also overwhelmed with shock, but said with restraint: "My younger sister has indeed married into the Chu family."

"Which Chu family? But the Chu family of the Huguogong Mansion?" Not everyone knows everything, and Mrs. Yongping Bo Shizi is a person who is not very well-informed. She only vaguely remembers that the new Shizi's wife , it seems that it is indeed from the Gu family.

Gu Xiuyun smiled and said: "My younger sister is the young wife of Duke Huguo's mansion. My brother-in-law is the son of Duke Huguo's mansion, and his name is Hengshan." He glanced at Xiao Shi again, and said with a smile, "My fifth sister, not only I am good friends with the two princesses, and I am also close friends with the crown princess."

Grandma Zhao's expression remained unchanged, Xiao Shi said to Mrs. Ning Guogong and Mrs. Ning, "This roast goose is good. Come on, let's eat one piece each. If you don't eat any more, when Mrs. Chu comes back, we won't have a share. "

Gu Xiuyun: "..."

Covering her lips and laughing, Mrs. Deng took a piece of roast goose with her chopsticks, and said, "It's a good thing Mrs. Chu was called away by the princess, otherwise we might not have our share of these delicacies."

Gu Xiuyun tightened the embroidered handkerchief, and said: "My younger sister has always been blessed. Isn't there a saying that being able to eat is a blessing? Grandma Zuo, you can eat as much as you want, and no one will stop you."

The Crown Princess came to Gu Fuyun only because she was concerned about her getting drunk in the palace yesterday. Seeing Gu Fuyun alive and kicking, she felt relieved and said with a smile: "I heard that you were poisoned yesterday, but I almost scared me to death. If it wasn't for the Crown Prince Your Highness is stopping me, I have to come to see you in person. Are you really okay?" I heard that you will feel uncomfortable for a day or two after getting drunk.

Gu Fuyun smiled and said: "With the care of the Crown Princess, my wife is fine. With His Royal Highness and the Hongfu of the Crown Princess in town, my wife is free from all diseases, and mere drunkenness is nothing."

The princess looked her up and down, and seeing that she was fine, she said: "It's fine, then I can rest assured." Then she whispered in her ear, "I have seen the gift you sent to my house later. Yes, it suits me very well."

Gu Fuyun smiled and said: "It's good that the Crown Princess likes it, and my wife can rest assured." Madam Yin probably scolded herself for being petty and stingy behind her back.

Although being able to get close to the princess is a matter of prestige, but everything has two sides, and the person who is envied will also receive equal hatred.So Gu Fuyun suppressed his desire to show off, and quickly returned to his seat.

Halfway there, he saw his grandmother and uncle sitting not far away, so he went up to say hello and said a few words before turning back.

But what left her speechless was that on the way back, a few round pearls jumped on the ground.

Gu Fuyun stopped in her tracks, she had always had good hearing, although the sound of the pearl falling to the ground was not loud, it still couldn't escape her ears.She looked around calmly, staring at one of the women. She didn't recognize this woman, but she quickly remembered her face in her heart, and calmly put her feet on the ground. The pearls under her feet fell to the woman's feet.Then he returned to his seat calmly.

After returning to their seats, Mrs. Xiao and others at the same table smiled and praised Gu Fuyun: "I never thought that Mrs. Chu and the Crown Princess are sisters in the boudoir. I really envy you."

Gu Fuyun smiled shyly: "Sister-in-law, you are flattering the prize, the princess just asked me to go over and ask a few words." Xiao Shi is Gu Xiuyun's sister-in-law, and Gu Fuyun deserves to be called sister-in-law.

Mrs. Deng on the opposite side pointed to the newly served dish: "Young Madam Chu, this is a newly uploaded dish. You haven't eaten it at Chu's house, have you? Hurry up and eat it while it's hot, we'll keep it for you."

There is no technical content and too straightforward irony, Gu Xiuyun can tear her apart without Gu Fuyun opening his mouth.
