The beauty of the lady

Chapter 93 Stepmother (3)
"Of course it is possible. If Miss Chu has time, she can send someone a letter."

"Then thank you sister Zhou first." Chu Wenyao was very happy to finally get what she wanted, and then chatted with Zhou Mei more intimately.

When she finally got rid of the enthusiastic Chu Wenyao, she finally found a quiet place to catch her breath.

This is a small space surrounded by three rockery. There is a stone table, three wooden soft chairs, and a small stove on the stone table. The purple sand pot on the stove is gurgling. There was gurgling heat, and beside it was a teapot the size of an adult man's fist and six teacups in a set. It seemed that there was no sign of anyone coming here.

Going in and sitting down, she made tea elegantly. After a set of tedious procedures, the smell of fragrant tea lingered in this small space.

I poured myself a cup, the teacup made of purple sand was only the size of her palm, in fact, it was only about a mouthful of capacity, but the taste would become extraordinarily pure and rich after being rendered by purple sand, no wonder the modern high-quality purple sand tea set is so expensive.

Putting it under the nose and sniffing it gently, the rich tea aroma rushed into her taste buds, making her take a deep breath.

He took a sip and was about to praise the good tea when there were whispers outside.

"Sister Chen, I heard that it will be Sister Chen's wedding ceremony in the middle of this month. I don't know what to do?"

"I have no plans this year." The voice of the woman called Sister Chen was somewhat arrogant, as if she was speaking through her nostrils.

Another woman's voice came to mind, "I've heard that Sister Chen loves the Ninth Prince, and that Sister Chen's aunt is the current empress, and the Empress Dowager is also your aunt. If this is true, Sister Chen will definitely get what she wants .”

"Sister Yu is overwhelmed. The Ninth Prince's celestial appearance, how can he look up to an ordinary girl like us." He said so, but his voice sounded like a sure thing.

The shadow of the man with the paralyzed face naturally appeared in Zhou Mei's mind. The four words "the posture of heaven and man" were well-deservedly used by the regent. Although she did not have a good impression of that man, it did not hinder her normal judgment.

A good looks is really popular all over the world, so that the eldest lady of the Duke Huguo's mansion will "bright" her heart.

"Since you know that you are ordinary, don't wishful thinking, the Ninth Prince is not worthy of a pretentious woman like you." A coquettish reprimand destroyed the girl's dream.

Chen Xiyu followed the sound, and saw Chi Qinglian, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion who was titled the most beautiful woman in the capital, stepped forward in a gorgeous brocade dress.

Seeing that woman, Chen Xiyu was so angry that he wanted to step forward and tear her apart.

She thought she was no worse than Chi Qinglian in appearance, but the most beautiful woman in the capital fell on her, and she also thought she could not lose to others in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she was always stepped under by this woman.

Even if she is the granddaughter of Prime Minister Chi, a veteran of the three dynasties, so what, she, Chen Xiyu, is still the grandson of Duke Huguo's mansion, and her status is much worse than that of Chi Qinglian, even if she falls in love with the Ninth Prince, so what, it's hard If not this woman is an exception?Anyway, she herself is only 15 years old this year and hasn't been active yet, and Chi Qinglian, who is going to be seventeen this year, hasn't talked about getting married, let alone engaged, it's really shameless.

"Sister Chi, is it possible that you are only allowed to be interested in the Ninth Prince? Don't tell me that at Sister Chi's age, even the elder Chi, who is the elder of the three dynasties, would never agree to it?" The twists and turns in this kind of thing are Her mother said that she could hear it, to the effect that Prime Minister Chi wanted to retire, and he didn't want his granddaughter to be involved with the royal family, otherwise his son might find it difficult to get promoted in the court.

It has to be said that Prime Minister Chi's vision is vicious, Suso Ninth Prince has deep scheming and various methods, but there are always clues for people with a discerning eye to figure out.

"Hmph, is it possible that you will be able to fulfill your wish? Don't forget, your Duke Protector's Mansion is not so easy now. Besides, your foundation is still shallow, but you are so entrusted with it. I can see a village girl like you."

"Shut up." Chen Xiyu screamed angrily. What she hated most in her life was when others said that their Chen family had a weak foundation.

In fact, she also knew in her heart that if it weren't for the empress dowager and the empress dowager in the palace, the current situation of the Chen family would be extremely embarrassing. The aristocratic family dared not speak out against the Chen family. Now that the former emperor is gone and the new emperor is only the youngest son, the Ninth Prince has the final say on everything in the court. Even the two most noble women dare not question the Ninth Prince. In a few words, what made people breathe a sigh of relief was that the Ninth Prince did not suppress the families, but gradually comforted them a little bit, which also made the situation of the Chen family a bit delicate.

Chen Laoguo's position as Taifu was removed after the new emperor succeeded, and Huguogong's head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was also removed. Although the current positions are not low, they all have no real power.

All the officials have a dog's nose, and as long as there is a slight change in the atmosphere in the palace, you can smell it. It is an indisputable fact that the Palace of the Protector of the Country is gradually losing its Sacred Heart.

"Are you angry?" Chi Qinglian looked at Chen Xiyu mockingly.

Chen Xiyu was very angry, if the people around her dragged her, she would have to step forward and slap her a few times.

"Hmph, elder sister Chi should think about herself. She is about 17 years old now, and there is still no one asking for marriage. Or do you think that if you continue to procrastinate, the Ninth Prince will take pity on you and marry you back? Don't dream, it's okay to dream Just don't cry when you wake up, my sister will definitely watch her jokes carefully."

After speaking, footsteps sounded, probably leaving with a group of followers.

Chi Qinglian's breath was unsteady after being told that something was on her mind, and she muttered "bitch" in a low voice to relieve her anger a little bit.

"Sister Qinglian, why should you get angry with that kind of person, it's not worth it if you get angry."

"That's right, I don't even look at the people around her. They are all nouveau riche from the same background as her. Why bother to have the same knowledge as them and lower their worth for nothing."

"Sister Qinglian is right. That Chen Xiyu doesn't even look in the mirror, yet he dares to argue with Sister Qinglian. It's beyond his control."

"Sister Ruolan, I heard that you are also engaged, and the other party is the Su family in Jiangbei."

"Hmm!" The woman replied with some reluctance.

Chi Qinglian looked at her, sighed and said: "Don't feel wronged, I heard from my grandfather that the Su family in Jiangbei, besides being an imperial businessman, is also said to be the son of Pian Pianjia. This marriage must be the same for Madam Hou. It took a lot of consideration before deciding.”

"I know." Zhao Ruolan nodded.

But I don't think so in my heart, so what if he is Mr. Pianpian, he is not a businessman, can the imperial merchant compare to the son of the rich and powerful in the capital?If it was really good, would Chi Qinglian only stare at the Ninth Prince?
