Chapter 110 Present words
Of course Mrs. Dou had seen Xie Zhaozhao's clothes in front of her house just now.

Xie Zhaozhao is indeed not dressed as a female guard this time, but she is as plain as a little white flower. How can she compare to Xie Xingchen, who is dressed up in full attire?
With Xie Xingchen and Zhuyu in front, Xie Zhaozhao can naturally only serve as a foil.

Over the years, she has been competing with Dafang.

Although she did not have a high-ranking husband, she had been proud for a long time by snatching Xie Zhaozhao's young and talented husband.

Now that she and Dafang have fallen out, she is going to be the mother-in-law of Prince Liang again.

The pride was even more overwhelming.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you get out of the car?" Dou asked hypocritically, "Is it because the road is bumpy and you feel unwell?"

Mrs. Jiang Ninghou laughed and said: "Mrs. Xie was born in a general family, how can the carriage make her feel uncomfortable? I guess I am too embarrassed to get off the car, let's just wait a little longer."

She obviously felt that Xie Zhaozhao was most likely to be dressed as a female guard again today. Yu didn't want to be laughed at, so she couldn't get out of the car.

But she didn't want to see the joke, so she verbally hinted that everyone should wait together.

The rest of the people tacitly agreed.

Not far away, another carriage arrived, hanging the lanterns of the East Palace.

When they came to a stop, the person who got out of the car was Wang Qinyue, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Her sprained waist was healed in time for today's banquet.

Mrs. Jiang Ninghou's voice was loud, and Wang Qinyue also heard it, so she also stopped by the car and waited. Her eyes were cold and unpredictable, and she obviously hated Xie Zhaozhao so much that her teeth itched.

In the carriage, Yu rolled his eyes hugely.

In fact, Xie Zhaozhao was about to get out of the car earlier, but was held back by Yu.

Yu said: "They like to wait, so just wait. Let's go down again when we've waited enough. These short-sighted people will not be able to look straight when they see what I look like today!"

Xie Zhaozhao was very helpless, "Why is my mother acting like a child and comparing herself to others?"

Xie Zhaozhao wanted to get out of the car again, but was stopped by Yu.

This back and forth was delayed for a while, and more people gathered outside.

Xie Zhaozhao saw Wang Qinyue arriving from the small curtain of the carriage window, but had no special reaction to Wang Qinyue's knife-like eyes.

Many people had stopped in front of Xizhimen, and the sedan chair that took the female family members from the palace to the direction of Yulongtai also arrived.

The eunuchs also looked over here.

Xie Zhaozhao sighed secretly.

She actually doesn't like this kind of beauty competition, but now she is forced to do it.

"Get out of the car." Xie Zhaozhao grabbed his mother's hand, "If you delay any longer, everyone in the palace will come to hurry you up."

Mrs. Yu looked at the crowd of people outside and said, "Hmm," "That's it."

The car curtains were raised, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on the past.

Everyone has been waiting for a long time, but they don't have much expectations. They are just waiting for Xie Zhaozhao to come out, and the corners of their mouths will curl up in a mocking arc.

Unexpectedly, it was Yu who came out first.

Mrs. Yu didn't dress up specially, she was quite decent, dignified and generous. As soon as she came out, she glanced at everyone with a sharp look.

"Zhaozhao, come down." Mrs. Yu got off the carriage and stood beside the carriage. Without waiting for her grandma to come to support her, she stretched out her hand to say hello to the carriage.

Xie Zhaozhao responded, put his hand on Yu's palm, and bent out.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and the ridicule they had prepared was stuck in the corners of their mouths.In terms of dress styles, Xie Zhaozhao’s outfit today is actually not that luxurious and complicated.

As for the jewelry she wears, there are only a few beads at a glance.

South Sea pearls are not particularly valuable items. In the Holy Capital City, only those girls whose families are of moderately high status but who cannot afford high-quality gold and jade jewelry and find silver jewelry to be cheap would choose pearls.

Compared with the gold, silver, gems and green heads of many people present, the pearl flowers were naturally downgraded.

But Xie Zhaozhao's face is really outstanding, and the dress she used to attend banquets could be described as slovenly. Now with such a simple dress, people can't help but pay attention.

Madam Jiangninghou was stunned for a moment, "Is there no gemstones in Mrs. Xie's house? How can she wear pearl flowers!"

"The eldest daughter gave birth a few days ago." Mrs. Dou explained warmly, "The situation was very dangerous at that time. My sister-in-law has been worried day and night recently, so it is inevitable that she did not pay attention to this."

"I do have two sets of masks there. I just thought that Zhao Zhao didn't like them, so I didn't send them to him on his own initiative. Who knew..."

Yu sneered: "Didn't I give you the head and face you have? Just keep them for yourself. Those two styles are old. Of course Zhaozhao doesn't like them. I won't be happy if you make your own decisions."

Dou's face stiffened.

"My Zhaozhao can wear whatever she likes. No matter what she wears, I think she looks good!" Yu added, "Besides, we are just here to attend the banquet today, unlike some people who are here to show off."

"You——" Mr. Dou's face suddenly changed, and his anger rose, "Who are you talking about?"

Yu smiled: "I didn't say anything to anyone."

Mr. Dou's face suddenly twisted with anger.

The others came to their senses one after another.

Yes, thank Xingchen for marrying Prince Liang.

Prince Liang will also be coming to the banquet today. No wonder she is dressed up so beautifully.

Although King Liang has a high and powerful position, he is not a good match. He is almost old enough to be Xie Xingchen's father.

In recent years, the position of Liang Wang's principal concubine has been vacant, and Emperor Xuanwu has not thought of looking for another principal concubine for him.

However, most of the noble ladies from aristocratic families who were worthy of being the royal concubine of Liang Wang were unwilling to marry Liang Wang.

Those who were eager to marry their daughters to the Prince of Liang did it for the sake of power and gain. Not to mention Emperor Xuanwu, even the Prince of Liang looked down on them. After this back and forth, they ended up now.

Now that Xie Xingchen has been granted marriage to Prince Liang, it is naturally not a good marriage in everyone's eyes.

Moreover, there is no airtight wall in the world.

The child who suddenly appeared in the Water and Land Conference is now being raised in Concubine Ning's palace.

The people in this aristocratic circle are extremely shrewd, and they can guess something just by going back and forth.

At Xie Xingchen's age, she should have gotten married a long time ago. Lai stayed in the Xie family for many years without marrying, and now she was so cleverly married to Prince Liang. Maybe it was because of subterfuge back then, and now the mother is more valuable than the son.

Suddenly, everyone saw that the Dou mother and daughter became very subtle.

"Auntie!" Xie Xingchen said in a stiff voice, "Mom is just kind-hearted. Why do you have to talk so arrogantly? We are always a family, and we can't write two words of thanks in one sentence."

"We are not happy here, and we are just making people laugh."

Yu said bluntly: "Some people want to make jokes themselves!"

Xie Zhaozhao has to say that the mother and daughter are still as thick-skinned as they were in the previous life.

It was obvious that they were the ones who started the provocation, yet they kept everyone waiting to see their joke, and now they were just retorted by Mr. Yu, but instead they made a point about a whole family?
This means that they are only allowed to work with outsiders to humiliate the big house, and the big house is not allowed to say anything bad about them.
