Chapter 540

Just as Lu Jiao was thinking, the Eldest Princess saw that her expression had changed a few times, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Jiao quickly smiled and said, "I'm a little worried about tomorrow's flower feast, afraid that I will make a fool of myself."

The Eldest Princess laughed: "It's okay, everything is up to me, I won't let anyone embarrass you."

"Thank you, Eldest Princess."

Lu Jiao said a few more words to the Eldest Princess, then left and returned home.

In the evening, she told Xie Yunjin about attending the flower banquet at the Grand Princess' Mansion tomorrow.

Xie Yunjin's complexion turned a little dark, and her eyes were full of worry.

"You should have declined."

"Princess Dachang has good intentions. She thought we were going to stay in the capital, and she was worried that we would be bullied in the future, so she wanted to support me. I couldn't tell her our plan. After all, you haven't been admitted to Jinshi yet. So I can only agree."

The matter has been agreed, Xie Yunjin can only accept it, he looked at Lu Jiao and said: "Tomorrow you bring two more, and you must be careful."

"Well, don't worry, don't worry, nothing will happen."

The two lay down while talking, Xie Yunjin put his arms around Lu Jiao, and said slowly: "Jiaojiao, you must protect yourself, the children and I cannot do without you."

"Well, I will protect myself. Don't worry. Now you just need to study hard and prepare to take the exam in February. I'm still waiting for you to ask me to be my wife."

Xie Yunjin leaned over and kissed Lu Jiao's cheek.

"You will get your wish."

The two of them talked for a while and then fell asleep. The next day, the fourth child only knew that Lu Jiao was going to attend the flower banquet at the eldest princess's mansion, and became worried, and said that he would go with his mother.

Lu Jiao looked at them dumbfounded: "This is a woman's flower feast, what are you going to do, don't worry, mother will be fine, sister Ruan Zhu will follow mother."

After the four little ones looked at each other, they reminded Lu Jiao: "Mother, you have to be careful, if someone bullies you, you can ask Sister Ruan Zhu to call you back."

Dabao turned to look at Feng Zhi at the side of the main hall and said, "Sister Feng Zhi, you have to follow my mother and don't let her be bullied."

"Okay, don't worry, my lord."

Er Bao raised his hand and said: "I want to practice, and when I get older, I can protect my mother."

Three Treasures and Four Treasures agreed: "Yes, we not only need to practice, but also eat more, so that we can grow up earlier, and then we can protect our mother."

Lu Jiao looked at the four cubs with indescribable warmth in her heart.

But seeing that it was getting late, she hurried back to her room to tidy up, and took Feng Zhi, Ruan Zhu, Tong Yi and Zhou Shaogong to the Dachang Princess' mansion.

Although Tong Yi and Zhou Shaogong couldn't enter the Dachang Princess' mansion, they stayed outside the mansion. If they heard any movement in the mansion, they could go in immediately to protect their wife.

The flower banquet at the Dachang Princess' Mansion did not invite too many people, only some dignitaries and wives were invited, and Princess Lanyang was also among them. In addition to Princess Lanyang, Mrs. Xing'an Marquis, General Wang's wife, etc. were all present. in.

Lu Jiao was very happy to see Mrs. Marquis of Xing'an and Mrs. General Wang, and the three came together to talk.

Lu Jiao looks like Mingyan, and her demeanor is no worse than that of the rich and powerful wives in the capital, so many people inquire about who she is.

Princess Lanyang immediately revealed her identity contemptuously. When those rich and powerful wives heard that she was just a young lady, they had no interest in making friends, and they all got together to talk.

Lu Jiao also ignored Princess Lanyang and those wives.

Today she came to the eldest princess's flower banquet, just to deal with it, and has no intention of making friends with anyone.

"Jiaojiao, don't pay attention to that woman of Princess Lanyang, she is not clear-headed, and now Liu Shoufu is cooking oil like fire, life is not easy, but she, the wife, has no sense at all."

Mrs. Xing'an Marquis glared at Princess Lanyang angrily. Now she treats Lu Jiao as her nephew and daughter-in-law, so she is very annoyed at Princess Lanyang's behavior.

Lu Jiao smiled lightly and shook her head: "I don't care about her, she just talks if she likes."

General Wang's wife pulled Lu Jiao with a smile and said, "Let's go talk to the other side and ignore them."

"Row."

A group of three walked towards the corner of the yard, but after walking a few steps, they heard someone behind them say: "Isn't that the eldest lady of Chengde Hou Mansion? I heard that she was ill and disfigured."

"No wonder you withdrew from the engagement with Prince Qin's mansion."

"What kind of person can she marry in the future? Her face is ruined, and she's getting older."

"Anyway, the rich and powerful in the capital are definitely not willing to marry such a daughter-in-law. It seems that she can only marry at a low price."

When Lu Jiao heard the words behind her, she turned around subconsciously and saw a group of people coming in from the courtyard door. The leader was a majestic lady, followed by a woman wearing a veil. Feeling inferior or annoyed by other people's words.

This woman is Lin Ruyue, the eldest lady of Chengde Hou Mansion.

Lu Jiao was very displeased when she saw her, but she didn't say anything, she turned around and walked aside to talk with Mrs. Marquis of Xing'an and Mrs. General Wang.

When it was almost noon, the eldest princess came over. As soon as she came, she waved for Lu Jiao to go over.

Many people on the field looked at her together. Lu Jiao walked in front of the eldest princess calmly. When she passed by, many people murmured in low voices.

"What's the relationship between this woman and the Eldest Princess?"

"Didn't you say that she is just a lady? How did you get on with the eldest princess?"

"I will definitely flatter you."

Whatever she said, Lu Jiao walked all the way in front of the eldest princess without changing her expression. When she walked in front of the eldest princess, the eldest princess stretched out her hand affectionately and motioned for her to sit beside her. .

After Lu Jiao sat down, the Eldest Princess looked at the wives in the yard with a smile and said, "The flower feast is held in the palace today for Jiaojiao. She is new to the capital, and I hope you will not embarrass her in the future. If you embarrass her... She, this palace will be unhappy."

After the eldest princess finished speaking, she looked up at Princess Lanyang with a half-smile.

Princess Lanyang's heart sank. Although she insisted on her status and always looked down on others, she dared not offend the empress dowager's own daughter. In the past, the eldest princess was in charge of the empress dowager's affairs.

Princess Lanyang originally wanted to deal with Lu Jiao through the hands of the Eldest Princess, but unexpectedly, Lu Jiao won the favor of the Eldest Princess. The Eldest Princess even held a flower banquet for her and introduced her to various families in the capital. Noble lady.

Many people on the field expressed their opinions: "The eldest princess has spoken, and we will naturally obey. Don't worry, the eldest princess, we will never embarrass Mrs. Lu in the future."

These people talked on their lips, and they murmured to themselves, what is the eldest princess doing for this woman, there must be something unknown in it, and they will send someone to investigate later.

The eldest princess looked at the people on the field with satisfaction.

Princess Lanyang gritted her teeth with hatred, and her face looked extremely bad. Not far away, Lin Ruyue noticed Princess Lanyang's expression, and immediately beckoned to the maids around her to inquire about the news. Did you have any trouble with Lu Jiao?

The maid hurriedly went to inquire about the news.
