Chapter 341

Mrs. Xu Guogong is the wife of Xu Guogong, and she is also the head of the noble ladies in Beijing. She has an extraordinary status. She has always been in charge of any large-scale activities in the aristocratic circle.

However, she has never been keen on these things, so she seldom arranges them. However, recently, the noble ladies have received invitations from her. While surprised, they can't help but feel a little excited and looking forward to it.

In their circle, it was a symbol of honor and decency to be invited by the Duke's wife.

Everyone tidied up and went to the banquet in a decent spirit, and couldn't help but guess in their hearts, could there be some big commotion in the capital, otherwise, how could the Duke's wife, who has always disliked the excitement, personally organize the flower viewing banquet?

Mrs. Jiang's husband is a fourth-rank Central Guard, and her official position is said to be big or small. In her capacity, she is not qualified to participate in such a banquet, but she has always been slick and very Good at interpersonal communication, everyone has a good impression of her, so they are willing to take her along.

Sitting in the carriage, Mrs. Jiang adjusted her clothes for the fifth time. Seeing her so cautious appearance, another person in the carriage couldn't help but wondered, "Mrs. Jiang, isn't it just a flower viewing party? Why do you look so excited?"

The man who spoke had a melon-seeded face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and Qiushui pupils. His appearance was weak and pitiful. Who else could it be if it wasn't Liu Rou?

She didn't get the invitation letter at first, but because of Mrs. Jiang, she got this opportunity.

Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "You don't know who the host of today's banquet is, but Mrs. Xu Guogong! Xu Guogong is a veteran of the two dynasties, and he is highly valued by the emperor. His wife also has an imperial order, and her status is not ordinary!"

Liu Rou's heart moved slightly, and her hands tightly clenched in her sleeves were slightly clenched.

Naturally, she has also heard about the reputation of Mrs. Xu Guogong. It is said that if anyone gets married in this imperial capital, if they can invite this Mrs. Xu Guogong to be an iceman, that would be a great honor!
In her eyes, Mrs. Jiang is already a relationship that she has worked so hard to get into, and Mrs. Guogong, she has never even thought about it!

Mrs. Jiang narrowed her eyes slightly, "It must not be that simple for Mrs. Guo to organize this flower viewing banquet in person. This banquet is going to be lively."

It's so good, it's impossible to hold a flower viewing party suddenly.

After contacting the news she heard some time ago, she somewhat knew it.

This banquet is probably held for that master!

That's right, and only that one can invite Mrs. Dong Guogong to come out!

Mrs. Jiang was very disturbed, if she could show her face in front of that person...

The whitened knuckles showed the excitement in her heart, but Mrs. Jiang didn't intend to talk about the twists and turns here to Liu Rou.

This Mrs. Liu is very mysterious, never mentioning who her husband is, and every time she asks about it, she says he is a high-ranking official, which makes Mrs. Jiang disdainful.

If he were really a high-ranking official, would he still try to get along with her here?

Don't be a little love raised by a rich family outside, right?

If it weren't for seeing her being generous and able to talk, she wouldn't be willing to take her to play!

But well, not wanting to be robbed of the limelight is secondary, and you can't be dragged down.

This person has never seen anything big in the world, so don't implicate her by saying wrong things in front of the nobleman!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Jiang smiled slightly, and her face became a little more solemn, "Mrs. Liu, there are many nobles here. When the time comes, just remember to speak less and act cautiously. If you offend any nobleman, this lady will help you." Not you."

Liu Rou smiled and agreed, "Naturally, I will definitely not hold you back, madam."

Madam Jiang was satisfied, and continued to put on her makeup.

Liu Rou smiled, her eyes were thoughtful, she didn't know what she was thinking.

-

At this time, the Duke's Mansion.

Mrs. Xu Guogong, the host of the banquet, was not as relaxed as everyone imagined.

"That vase, replace it, it's not right here!"

"Hurry up, you guys, don't dawdle, that picture hasn't been hung up for a long time?"

She directed the boys to arrange things, no matter how dissatisfied she looked, her frown never relaxed.

"Mother, isn't it just a flower viewing feast? What are you doing to make people so excited?" Behind him, Xu Qianqian, the daughter of the Duke's wife, yawned and looked at her rather speechlessly.

Mrs. Guo gave her an angry look, "What do you know, you silly girl! That's the empress!"

Xu Qianqian curled her lips, "That's right, it's the empress, not some cannibal goblin. As for being afraid of being like this... Oops! Why are you beating me!"

She clutched her forehead and looked over tearfully.

"It seems that I have spoiled you so much! How dare you say such nonsense!" Mrs. Duke gritted her teeth and withdrew her hand, looked around, took her hand and walked aside, "You know that Queen Empress What is it about?"

Xu Qianqian blinked blankly, she was born late, and Ming Xi had already gone to the Taimiao when she was the governor, so she didn't know much about the empress.

The Duke's wife clapped her fingers and pointed to her, "The daughter of the prime minister's mansion, the niece of the empress dowager, the sister of the general, and the first wife of your majesty, which one of these can you afford to offend?"

Xu Qianqian opened her mouth, nah nah, "Hey, I can't afford to offend any of them..."

Mrs. Guo looked at her blankly, "What if these people are all the same person?"

Xu Qianqian was dumbfounded for a while, and sighed from the bottom of her heart, "This backstage is too... powerful!"

"So, now you know why you are so worried about your mother!" Mrs. Guo nodded her daughter's forehead angrily.

Xu Qianqian hugged her arm and nodded heavily, with a look of doubt in her eyes, "But...mother, why did the empress appoint you to hold this banquet? It's still at our house..."

Mrs. Guo frowned, her brows and eyes were full of worry, "This is also something that mother can't figure out."

When she got the news from the palace, she was also shocked.

What's more, this decree was issued directly from the person in Qianqing Palace.

It stands to reason that her position in the capital is suitable for her to handle this matter, but it is not that no one is more suitable than her. There is Princess Ming'an in front of her, and she is still a cousin with the empress. What kind of relationship is that? Isn't it closer?
But, since it is His Majesty's intention, it is intriguing.

The Duke's wife has been immersed in the inner house for many years, so it's impossible not to understand, I'm afraid it's different from what those people think, this queen empress is His Majesty's favorite, what is that soft concubine who is said to be favored?
What an honor it is to give the empress a clean slate!
His Majesty entrusted her with this matter because he trusted her, and she couldn't mess it up!
Mrs. Guo felt a heavy pressure on her shoulders.

She had never dealt with this empress, and she couldn't figure out her temperament.

It is said that her temper is very spoiled, but how long ago was that rumor!
I don't know what it is like now after so many years.

No matter what, coaxing the other party is the most important thing!
