The elder brother has done a lot of stupid things over the years, and Concubine Shu didn't judge it very well, she just taught earnestly: "Because of this, you can't do what he wants, your elder brother is the eldest son, and you should be honest and reasonable. Being asked to be the heir, if he can marry someone with a high status, it will also be a big help for him. Zhener, marriage is not a child's play, it is not just love, it needs to be considered in many ways."

Lu Zhenmiao's mother left early. She was raised by the old lady and was well-loved as a child. Concubine Shu only felt that the old lady raised her too naively.

Lu Zhenmiao shook her head, "I know my elder brother. He doesn't care about the position of the prince at all. I don't want to think about it. My elder brother has worked hard all these years. I just hope that he will be happy. Aunt help my elder brother."

Although Concubine Shu disagreed, she also wanted to see Zhong Li, and finally nodded.

When she issued the invitation letter, she deliberately added Zhong Li's name. After the second lady received the invitation letter, she still wondered why Concubine Shu paid attention to Zhong Li.

In fact, even if Concubine Shu didn't mention it, the second wife planned to take Zhong Li with her. In the past two years, because Zhong Li was observing filial piety, she took Gu Zhiqing there. Ask her to take care of one or two.

The only thing she could take care of was to bring Zhong Li to the banquet.

Zhong Li's appearance is very outgoing, but because of her filial piety, she has never shown her face in front of the ladies, and there are not many people who go to the Zhong Mansion to propose marriage, but if she brings Zhong Li to a banquet, the proposer will definitely break through. The threshold of the Bell House.

When Zhong Li learned about this, she was also a little surprised. In her last life, she was bedridden, and she didn't know whether Concubine Shu invited her.

Now that he has been invited, Zhong Li naturally needs to go.

The day of Concubine Shu's banquet was the first day of the third lunar month. On this day, it was a sunny day. After the sky was bright, Zhong Li came to Yangxintang. In the past few days, the old lady had another headache, and she could hardly rest for the rest of the night. An hour late.

The old lady also knew that she was going to enter the palace.

Zhong Li's rules are of course no choice. Her mother is a very smart woman, and she has always attached great importance to the education of Zhong Li. She also invited Mammy Zhao, who is beside the old lady, to specially teach Zhong Li various etiquette.

Her temperament is also stable, and she has always been easy to pick when dealing with people and things. The old lady is not worried about her, but she still asked Mammy Zhao to tell her about the affairs of the palace, focusing on the temperament and preferences of the concubines.

Zhong Li took it to heart.

When Concubine Shu hosted a banquet, in addition to noble ladies, she would naturally invite concubines from the harem.

Zhong Li only wore a moon-white ru skirt with light makeup, just trying to be as low-key as possible without being rude.

Even so, when she finished applying the lipstick, Qiuyue and Xia He were still stunned, and even Chenger turned around her in a novel way, "Beauty!"

This is not what Zhong Li wanted. She simply changed the color of the lipstick. This time the color was not as bright and moving as before, it was close to the original color of the lips, and the hairstyle was changed to the most simple one. The color is pressed down by a point.

Cheng'er's eyes were sparkling, and she wanted to apply mouth fat, but Zhong Li was afraid that he would eat it in her stomach, so she didn't dare to apply it to him, so she just smeared a little on the center of his eyebrows, the little guy was so happy, his little hands got a little bit of mouth fat, "Qiu Yue Sister is coming too!"

As he spoke, he stabbed her forehead.

Qiuyue smiled and avoided.

Different from the joy of Picking Star Pavilion, the atmosphere here is deadly and silent. Gu Zhiqing only learned yesterday that her mother did not bring her into the palace.

Some time ago, she just lost someone in front of Lu Yanrui and Lu Zhenmiao. She was just about to take this opportunity to show a good performance in front of Lu Zhenmiao and Concubine Shu. Who would have guessed that her mother was going to bring Zhong Li into the palace.

She was so angry last night that dinner was useless. This morning, she thought her mother would be submissive, but she didn't show up at all. Gu Zhiqing couldn't hold back her anger, so she had to bring her maid to her residence.

After coming in, her eyes were red, "Is my mother really not going to take me?"

Mrs. Zhou rubbed her brows and explained, "It's not that I refuse to take you. The flower viewing banquet is set in Taoyuan, and the venue is limited. In previous years, ladies only brought one girl. Concubine Shu specially invited Zhong Li. Just take her there."

Seeing that Concubine Shu actually invited Zhong Li, Gu Zhiqing's eyes darkened, "Why did she invite Zhong Li all of a sudden?"

Could it be that Concubine Shu also knew Lu Yanrui's intentions? Why did you call her to see her on purpose?

Gu Zhiqing's heart tightened, she suddenly gritted her teeth, and said frankly: "Did my mother think I didn't know what to do two days ago and didn't like the person you chose? In fact, my daughter already has a place in her heart, except for him, her daughter will never marry anyone else. , ask my mother to help me."

Zhou Shi's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. The next moment I heard her say word by word: "My daughter is happy with Lu Yanrui from Duke Dingguo's mansion."

Only then did Zhou Shi understand why she wanted to enter the palace this time, and she dared to please Concubine Shu, "Confused!"

Gu Zhiqing refused to accept, "He is the eldest son of Dingguo's mansion, and his status is much higher than the ones chosen by his mother! Besides, he is another talented person. In terms of talent alone, he does not lose to anyone. If he participates in the palace exam, he may not be able to It's Zhuang Yuanlang, why is my daughter confused?"

Yes, in terms of talent alone, Lu Yanrui is indeed not inferior to others. He and Xiao Sheng were also known as the double pride of the capital because of their outstanding talents, and their family backgrounds are indeed not low.

But Lu Yanrui's mother left early, and the successor that An Guogong married was a man of means. Now An Guogong is also very biased and only has a young son in his heart. If Gu Zhiqing really married Dingguo Gongfu, it was only superficial. The scenery, behind the scenes, do not know how much mother-in-law has to suffer.

"Mrs. An Guogong is not a good friend at all. If you really marry, your temper will definitely kill you. You'd better give me this idea!"

Gu Zhiqing stomped her feet.

Seeing her attitude, Zhou Shi was also a little displeased, and said directly to Ming Xing: "Don't bring your young lady back! It's really becoming more and more unruly, how can you still look like a girl?"

Gu Zhiqing refused to leave, and said with red eyes, "Mother really refuses to help me?"
