Chapter 218: Malicious slander

Lu'er didn't know how to answer, after dark yesterday, that is, Mo Zize secretly reported a very young child back, and invited a nurse, and directly placed it in Jiao Ruzhi's yard, but he didn't explain where the child came from, Jiao Ruzhi didn't ask, just took the child down, but where in the world can a woman who can tolerate her husband suddenly bringing a child back to let herself raise, but not saying the origin of the child, let alone a boy?

Seeing that Lu'er didn't answer herself, Jiao Ruzhi sighed softly, and then turned around and returned to the bronze mirror on the dresser, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, her heart had sunk, and she couldn't help but gently touch her face with her hand: "Lu'er, I seem to have lost weight again these days, and when the prince came over a few days ago, he said that it was because he was always here, so I couldn't rest well, but you see...... He's not coming, I'm not either? ”

"Ma'am." Lu'er gritted her teeth and squatted beside Jiao Ruzhi, "Actually, madam, you don't need to worry about that child, although the prince didn't say who that child was or how he came here, but you want to...... There is no child in the house yet, and the lady keeps the child by her side, so she says that it is an adopted son, which can also attract the prince to come here to have a look. In the future, if Mrs. has a child with the webpage, then this adopted son will not hinder you. So the slave maid thought that the most important thing now was to treat this child well, after all, the prince would send the child to Mrs. here, it must be because he likes this child and likes Mrs., otherwise there are so many women in the house, why didn't the prince choose them? ”

Lu'er's words were very reasonable, Jiao Ruzhi seemed to see a glimmer of hope, nodded vigorously, and stretched out his hand to hold Lu'er: "Lu'er, you go and let the nurse take good care of the child, and if there is a chance at the banquet in a while, I will take the child out and say that this is my adopted adopted son, so that other women in the house will not be able to snatch him, and the prince can also have an adopted son in the name of it." ”

When Lu'er was about to say something, a little maid walked in quickly and blessed Jiao Ruzhi: "Princess, several guests have arrived, and now they are facing the flower hall." ”

"It's coming." Jiao Ruzhi's face showed a happy expression, she quickly got up from the dresser, and led Lu'er to the flower hall.

When Jiao Ruzhi came to the flower hall, there were three richly dressed young ladies sitting in the flower hall, which made Jiao Ruzhi raise his eyebrows slightly, her late spring banquet this time sent invitations to all the nobles in the capital, but she didn't expect that the first batch of people to come to the palace of Prince Ze was actually these three, they were Jiang Zuo's wife Jiang Huang, Zhang Dujun's wife Zhang Huang's sisters, and their cousin Liu Yue's wife Liu Yue, but these three people were actually very different from Jiao Ruzhi in the past!

"Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Liu, I am so honored that you can come to my late spring banquet." Jiao Ruzhi cheered up and greeted him with a smile.

The Jiang family, the Zhang Huang family and the Liu Yue family all got up from the chairs and returned the salute to Jiao Ruzhi, and then the Jiang family spoke first: "Prince Ze is serious, our three sisters can be invited by the princess, this is our honor." ”

Hearing that the other party was still polite, Jiao Ruzhi breathed a sigh of relief, when she was still the eldest lady of the Taifu family, these three women were just the daughters of a small family, so she unceremoniously ridiculed each other, so everyone was very unhappy, but they didn't expect to be able to live in peace after a few years.

Zhang Huang saw Jiao Ruzhi bow his head and return the salute, and suddenly said with a strange smile: "Princess, don't bow to us, we can't afford it alone, the princess used to be the princess of the Taifu family, her status is noble, she is much higher than us, and later became the princess of Prince Ze, our three sisters are happy for the princess in our hearts, after all, there are so many women in this palace, after all, there is only one concubine." By the way, princess, why don't you see the other ladies in the palace? I heard that the young lady of the aristocratic family is not good, and there must be someone who our sister knows. The banquet is just to be lively, so it's better to let everyone come out and participate. ”

In fact, in fact, if there are other guests in the flower hall, Zhang Huang will not dare to say such a thing, but there are only three sisters in this flower hall, Zhang Huang naturally dares to say anything, after all, if Jiao Ruzhi is mad, then it proves that Jiao Ruzhi's cultivation is not good, since there is no politeness to the guests, if Jiao Ruzhi responds, then you have to call the other women in the palace over, who has a banquet, and the housewife will invite the concubines to come over? If those women were really called, the other guests who came would definitely not want to be with the concubines who couldn't get on the stage, and the banquet would be ruined.

Jiao Ruzhi's heart was full of anger, this Zhang Huang's husband was an overseer, and he used to be a person from Jimo Zize's side, but after Jimo Zize's accident, he quickly cleared up the relationship, otherwise it would be impossible for an official with the status of an overseer not to be implicated, but at that time, Emperor Jimo and Ao didn't have much choice, so they could only end the matter hastily!

Jiao Ruzhi tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing an unnatural smile: "Several people of noble status, how can they be in the same room with those women?" Wouldn't that be worth everyone's worth? ”

"That's too." Liu Yueshi shook the fan in his hand, and smiled meaningfully, "I heard that those women in Prince Ze's mansion, there are a few dusty women who came out of the kiln, not only can their identities not be on the stage, but even a foot-washing maid in our mansion is not as humble as a maidservant, if you share a room with them, it is really a shameful thing, and people feel that they are also such humble people." But then again, the princess, you are generous, you left such a woman in the house, and those who know it call the princess virtuous, and those who don't know think that the princess is used to it together. ”

The meaning of Liu Yue's words was already very explicit, and she directly said that Jiao Ruzhi, who often lived under the same roof with such a woman, was also very despicable.

If it was in the past, Jiao Ruzhi would probably be angry immediately, but now she is thinking about the purpose of holding this banquet, which is to help Jimo Zize, although the husbands of these three women are not big officials, but they are officials with real power in the imperial court, and only in this way are connected by officials with real power......

"Actually, I'm really used to it, after all, isn't there such a woman in every big family? I think your house is no exception. Jiao Ruzhi still maintained a smile, and returned the words lukewarmly.

At this time, other guests came, and Liu Yue's was about to say something, but he was stopped by Zhang Huang.

Jiao Ruzhi ignored them anymore and turned to receive other guests.

Regardless of whether these women came here to see how depressed she was today, Jiao Ruzhi still worked very hard to deal with them, after all, they were willing to come, so things would take a turn for the better.

When it was close to noon, the guests who were going to come had basically come, although they didn't see Jiao Yuzhen, but Jiao Ruzhi still let people bring up the prepared tea and fruit snacks, and the ladies in the flower hall were laughing while playing some wine-like games, and the picture was still harmonious, and Jiao Ruzhi was a little relieved.

Suddenly, the sound of porcelain breaking made Jiao Ruzhi come back to his senses suddenly, and the female luthier playing the piano in the flower hall also stopped, and everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw a fallen maid at the feet of the Jiang Huang clan and the broken teacups and dishes on the ground.

The teacup and dishes in the maid's hand were broken before she fell, so that her knees and hands fell right on the broken porcelain pieces, and blood flowed all over the ground.

There was no trace of fear on Jiang Huang's face, but he still smiled and looked at the maid on the ground: "Is this your upbringing, Princess Ze?" This maid actually dialed me with tea. ”

Jiao Ruzhi's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly walked up, and at the same time motioned to Lu'er next to him to help the maid up, and Lu'er hurriedly went up to help the maid up, but he didn't expect that the maid's knees were already bloody, and some timid women suddenly exclaimed in fright.

Glancing at the maid, Jiao Ruzhi lowered his head and glanced at a piece of broken porcelain on the ground that was stained red with blood, and then leaned over and picked it up: "Did Mrs. Jiang say just now that the maid in my house accidentally threw the tea on you, and then fell down because of panic?" ”

"That's nature." Jiang Huang sneered and looked at Jiao Ruzhi, she is different from Liu Yue and Zhang Huang, she is a person with a lot of scheming, so if she is not a little sure, she will definitely not make trouble casually.

But this is not a dish from my Prince Ze's mansion. Jiao Ruzhi looked directly at the Jiang Huang family, "I kindly invited you to my banquet, but you came with such a saucer, deliberately slandering the maidservants in my house, or if you have the opportunity, you slander me." ”

The smile on Jiang Huang's face stiffened slightly, in fact, as Jiao Ruzhi said, she originally wanted to get this plate directly to deal with Jiao Ruzhi, but Jiao Ruzhi never approached her, she had no choice but to make a move on a maid, this plate is actually the most ordinary plate, and because such a white plate is too common, she didn't expect Jiao Ruzhi to see that he was slandering her!

Jiang Huang's expression changed suddenly, and then he looked at Jiao Ruzhi with an aggrieved expression: "Actually, I also know that the princess has always looked down on me before to be born as good as you, the princess, I am just the daughter of a petty official, but the princess is the eldest daughter of the former Taifu...... But...... But Princess, you can't let the maid dial me with tea, and then slander me like this! ”

Turmeric is obviously a master of drills, although Jiao Ruzhi has reined in his temper in recent years, but he is not really so patient, she has long seen Turmeric's methods, but in the face of her villain, she sued first, and took a bite, she was so angry that she couldn't speak!

"Is it slander, but let me see it first, and let me be fair?" As she spoke, Jiao Yuzhen lifted the rose-red and gold double-layered Guangya long-tailed luan robe, and slowly walked into the flower hall.

Today's Jiao Yuzhen has put a lot of effort into dressing up, not to mention that the rose-red and gold double-layered Guangya long-tailed Luan robe on her body is an orthodox palace dress, and even the hair bun is still the beautiful ruby head face she brought from the Hundred Flowers Feast, this dress is completely noble and luxurious, and with her original identity as the princess of the Isy Duo and the princess of Prince Jing, she is completely the most noble one of the people present!

Because of Jiao Yuzhen's identity, as soon as she came in, some clever female relatives saluted her, and then drove basically everyone to salute her respectfully, this set of etiquette and respectful attitude is what Jiao Ruzhi, the heroine of this late spring banquet, can't enjoy.

Jiao Ruzhi saw Jiao Yuzhen coming, and she didn't know why she had a sour feeling in her heart, thinking that when she learned that Jiao Yuzhen had become the princess of the Isy Duo Kingdom and appeared in front of people again, she also went to the palace to see her, but the two didn't have a chance to talk deeply, and a lot of things happened later, but now...... She envied Jiao Yuzhen's opportunities again, and seemed to think about it carefully, Jiao Yuzhen's luck has always been so good.
