Chapter 39: The Great Aunt

Du Qinglin was not good at hitting his mother directly, he whispered in the ear of Mrs. Rongguo: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is busy, she hasn't come yet, don't wait, mother, arrange a banquet!" ”

Originally, Mrs. Rongguo still had some light eyes, and when she heard her son's words, she instantly dimmed.

She waved at her son a little tiredly, "Inform the housekeeper to start the table." ”

Du Qinglin's heart was sour, and he couldn't help but complain about Qin Shuhuang in his heart. He stretched out his hand to personally help Mrs. Rongguo and accompanied Mrs. Rongguo to the middle of the flower hall, ready to announce the opening of the banquet.

When Mrs. Rongguo had just walked among the crowd with the support of her son, suddenly there were people singing and a list of distinguished guests outside the flower hall.

In the next second, Mrs. Rongguo heard the name she had been thinking about day and night!

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has arrived!"

Not to mention Du Qinglin, even Mrs. Rongguo herself was full of surprise, and the distinguished guests who often came to the banquet next to her also stared in the direction of the door with wide eyes in surprise.

Although Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has a noble status, she is devoted to the Gu family after marriage, and almost does not participate in these banquets in Beijing, let alone come out to socialize, what is wrong today, why did she suddenly come to participate in Mrs. Rongguo's chrysanthemum banquet?

One of the ladies in the flower hall was a young woman who immediately rushed to the door.

This young woman is none other than Gu Yuqing, the eldest lady of the Gu family who has been married.

It was only after Qin Shuhuang married into the Gu family that the Gu family used Qin Shuhuang's relationship to let her marry into the high gate.

Gu Yuqing's husband's family is the Fang family of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, she married the third son of Fang Shangshu, married into the Fang family for two years, and has a daughter, who is only one year old.

More than half of the dowry that Gu Yuqing married was pulled out by Mrs. Gu from Qin Shuhuang.

Gu Yuqing did not give birth to a son-in-law, and it was precisely because of Qin Shuhuang's relationship that the Fang family could take a look at Gu Yuqing.

But Gu Yuqing is the same as her sister Gu Yufei, and she never takes Qin Shuhuang in her eyes.

Until now, she thinks that she can marry into the Fang family because of the relationship between her parents and her own outstandingness, which made the Fang family fall in love with her at a glance.

In the past, Qin Shuhuang never attended these banquets, they were all attended by Mrs. Gu, and today at the banquet, everyone sang and distinguished guests, she thought that Mrs. Gu and Qin Shuhuang came together, so she was in a hurry to meet Mrs. Gu.

Gu Yuqing squeezed forward, and the second young lady of the Fang family, who came with her to participate in the chrysanthemum banquet, was worried that she would be squeezed by others, so she hurriedly squeezed over, and instructed the maid beside her, "You pay attention to the third young lady, don't let the third young lady be squeezed." ”

Mrs. Rongguo was supported by Du Qinglin and went to the door of the flower hall surrounded by everyone.

I had been looking forward to Qin Shuhuang coming to see her, and she had held so many banquets, and every time she sent invitations to Qin Shuhuang, Qin Shuhuang had never come, but now the next person sang Qin Shuhuang's name, Qin Shuhuang really came, but Mrs. Rongguo couldn't believe what she heard.

Her eyes were not very good, and she squinted at the door of the flower hall, for fear that this moment was her imagination.

Finally, in the next moment, a bright blue figure appeared in Mrs. Rongguo's somewhat blurred vision.

The figure in front of him is noble and slender, graceful and bright, and the delicate makeup is a real smile, like a blooming peony! The appearance is three or four points similar to that of Mrs. Rongguo when she was young, and it is the appearance of Qin Shuhuang in Mrs. Rongguo's impression!

Before Mrs. Rongguo could greet her, Qin Shuhuang had already walked over quickly.

Obviously, she has only been married for three years, and she has not seen her aunt for three years, but her aunt seems to be ten years older.

At the beginning, Mrs. Rongguo only had a few strands of gray hair on her sideburns, but now her black hair is half white, and there are many more lines at the corners of her eyes that can no longer be smoothed.

Mrs. Rongguo's back didn't know when it started to be a little rickety, and she looked even more thin and weak when she stood beside Du Qinglin.

Seeing such an aunt, Qin Shuhuang's emotions that he could still control instantly leaked, and his eyes were sour.

She strode over, and there was no one else in her eyes, only her aunt who had supported her all the way.

In front of Mrs. Rongguo, Qin Shuhuang's voice couldn't help but choke, "Aunt is fine, my niece has come to see you." ”

Mrs. Rongguo grabbed Qin Shuhuang's arm, "Huang'er is here, Huang'er is here." ”

Mrs. Rongguo was excited, as if Qin Shuhuang was still a little girl when she was a child, she took her into her arms and gently patted Qin Shuhuang's back.

Du Qinglin's originally cold face next to him saw his mother so excited and happy, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

Mrs. Rongguo hadn't seen Qin Shuhuang for a few days, and suddenly saw that she grabbed Qin Shuhuang's hand and had something to say to Qin Shuhuang, but there were guests all around, and many words were not good to say in person at this time.

After having enough of kissing Qin Shuhuang, Qin Shuhuang carefully helped Mrs. Rongguo to walk to the main seat in the middle of the flower hall.

With the help of Mrs. Fu Rongguo's wrist, Qin Shuhuang quietly checked the pulse of his aunt, who was in worse health than before and needed to recuperate urgently.

After Mrs. Rongguo pulled Qin Shuhuang to sit down together, the ladies next to her greeted Qin Shuhuang with a smile.

Although Qin Shuhuang, the eldest princess, has not come out to socialize for several years, her status is still there, as long as she has not lost her position today, Qin Shuhuang will be treated preferentially wherever she goes, and Mrs. Rongguo, who held the banquet today, is still Qin Shuhuang's own aunt.

The true purpose of the banquet was well known to the ladies who had come with their daughters.

Gu Yuqing didn't expect that Qin Shuhuang was really the only one who came today, and his mother and sister were not there!

Rao looked at the door again, but she didn't see her mother and sister.

Qin Shuhuang had already walked over, Gu Yuqing didn't say hello to Qin Shuhuang, the second young lady behind her was anxious, she came today with her own sister who was not yet married, she reminded: "Brother and sister, the eldest princess has passed, let's go and say hello to the eldest princess?" ”

Gu Yuqing turned his head and glanced at Second Young Lady Fang with disdain, feeling that Second Young Lady's eyes were shallow.

I think when she was a girl in the Gu family, Qin Shuhuang let her do everything, in front of her mother and eldest brother, Qin Shuhuang didn't dare to treat her slowly, if there were any good things, they were the first to be given to her, and now she took the initiative to go up and greet Qin Shuhuang, did she dare to treat her as a guest?

It was cheaper for her second sister-in-law, and she followed her to stain her light.

Gu Yuqing pursed his lips disdainfully in the dark, these people were afraid that they would not think that in front of them, the eldest princess who was golden and precious was low and small in their Gu family.

"Second sister-in-law, let's go, with me, the eldest princess will definitely look down on you." Gu Yuqing said proudly.

"Then there are Brother and Sister Lao." Second Young Lady Fang's eyes flashed with joy when she heard this, and at the same time gave her own sister who was following behind her an encouraging look, asking her to behave well in front of the eldest princess for a while.

Qin Shuhuang didn't come out to entertain for a long time, and Mrs. Rongguo was introducing Qin Shuhuang to the high-ranking ladies in the capital, when suddenly an abrupt voice interjected.

"Sister-in-law!"
