The legitimate daughter is reborn, her life is still with her

The neckline of the woman's clothes is embroidered with exquisite patterns and patterns, and the sleeves are covered with intertwined albizia flowers, which are shining in the sun. She has good eyebrows, a calm face, and her behavior is comparable to that of the Ninth Princess. Royal dignity.

This is what Li Yao and Zhou Jiahao said was the legitimate daughter of the Hou Mansion - Zhou Jiaqing, who did not come out to entertain everyone.

"Mom, my daughter has lived up to your trust and received the Ninth Princess." Zhou Jiaqing said with a slight smile.

"Okay, good daughter, you have nothing to do now, so just stay in the yard and entertain the princess and the ladies."

"Okay, mother."

This explains why Zhou Jiaqing was not in the yard just now!

"Mrs. Li, two cousins, where are you going?" Zhou Jiaqing saw Li Yao and her daughter preparing to sneak away from the crowd, and smiled sweetly: "Second cousin is going to change clothes, but the banquet has not started yet. , Mrs. Li and eldest cousin still want to visit the garden in the mansion? I will arrange for someone to take you around, otherwise you will think that I am not entertaining you well. "

Li Yao's mother hated Zhou Jiaqing's deliberate behavior in her heart. There was the Ninth Princess beside her, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She quickly waved her hand: "No shopping, no shopping. After Yao'er changes her clothes, I will Are you thinking of taking your two cousins ​​to visit your second aunt, Haoer? Haoer, you just told me that your mother was waiting."

Zhou Jiahao, who retreated to the back of the crowd, had to respond. Seeing Zhou Jiaqing's cunning eyes, he looked away.

Li Yao's mother wore a slightly stiff smile and hurriedly pulled her two daughters and followed Zhou Jiahao out of the yard.

Without Li Yao, mother and daughter, the courtyard was quite lively, with guests coming and going, celebrating birthdays, chatting, and it was a happy scene.

The unpleasant scene just now was quickly forgotten.

Before we knew it, it was time for the birthday banquet.

The birthday banquet in the Hou Mansion was held in the Sunset Garden, the largest in the mansion. It was named because it was the best place to enjoy the sunset.

An awning has been erected in the courtyard, and sporadic sunlight shines in, which only adds to the fun. Ice cubes have been placed in the awnings around the courtyard, so it does not feel hot in the courtyard.

All ladies and ladies were seated on one side, and on the other side was a table for the men's family members seated by Zhou Haiyang and his son. Pots of exotic flowers and plants were used to separate men and women in the middle to show distinction.

Da'an City does not have as strict a defense for men and women as in the past, they just sit separately.

This time, I don’t know if it’s because of Zhou Jiayun’s incident, but not many men came, or maybe it’s because Marquis Jing’an is not here. At a glance, there are more than half as many seats for men as there are seats for women.

Even so, Zhou Haiyang and Zhou Jiahao did not miss this opportunity. They both raised their wine glasses to greet them. They seemed to be chatting and laughing, which was very lively, but this scene was very contemptuous in Zhou Jiaqing's eyes.

What's a little strange is that none of Zhou Jiaqing's usual friends came. Although it was to celebrate the old lady's birthday, it was a different way. It was a way for the nobles to get to know each other. It stands to reason that the residence of the friends of the legitimate daughter of the Hou Mansion should be here. You will definitely be invited too!

Ji Chengxi from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Princess Nan'an from the Eldest Princess' Mansion, Meng Qihua from the Meng Mansion, no one from these mansions came to wish the old lady a birthday. Why is this?

Naturally, it was arranged deliberately by the old lady. Except for Zhou Jiaqing, who was friendly with her, the relationship between the Hou Mansion and these other houses was average.

After the birthday gifts were given, an opera was being performed on the stage in front of the seats, and the excitement in the banquet reached another level. Everyone lost their restraint when they first came in, and everyone was smiling, drinking wine and sipping tea. Watching the show, chatting, and admiring the flowers and plants, it seems that this is the meaning of life.

But few people noticed that a maid accidentally spilled some soup on Zhao Yunzhen's skirt, and she was returning to Haitang Garden to change it. No one cared whether Zhou Jiahao really went to the toilet. It was extremely normal for someone to go out and come back during the banquet.

thing.

No one even noticed how many people were missing from the banquet!

Until the opera was about to end and it was time to give birthday gifts to the old lady, Zhou Jiahao couldn't find anyone!

"Where's Hao'er, where have you gone?" the old lady asked with a smile.

Li Yaxuan glanced at the old lady, and her eyes unconsciously drifted to Zhou Jiaqing at the next table. Perhaps he noticed something, Zhou Jiaqing raised his eyes and looked at Li Yaxuan.

Li Yaxuan saw that Zhou Jiaqing's eyes were still so arrogant, but she was a little more confused.

Li Yaxuan smiled, feeling very happy when she thought about what would happen later, and turned around to talk to Li Yao's mother.

On the other hand, Li Yao's mother, who was sitting at the same table with Li Yaxuan, looked more proud. The two of them were very happy, as if the unhappiness of the morning did not affect them.

Therefore, they did not see that after Zhou Jiaqing turned his head, the doubts in his eyes had completely disappeared, replaced by a slightly excited smile at the corner of his mouth.

This scene was seen by Zhou Jiajing at the table. Before Zhou Jiaqing could look over, she quickly lowered her head, with a trace of nervousness and dullness on her face, which was completely inconsistent with the lively atmosphere around her. She looked reserved and shy at first glance. The concubine who is not favored in the house!

Zhou Jiajing? !

Zhou Jiaqing actually felt that she was looking at him for a moment, but in the previous life, he had no impression of Zhou Jiajing at all. In the next life, Zhou Jiaqing keenly felt that Zhou Jiajing was more than just a timid person.

This fifth sister does not have a legitimate mother to help her, and her aunt is just a maid. In addition, the second wife's concern for the eldest brother makes her life miserable as a legitimate daughter, being plotted against her. What's more, Zhou Jiajing, a concubine, can be controlled by Li Yaxuan. The Hou Mansion grew up safely?

After Zhou Haiyang got up, he looked around and said to the old lady with a confused expression: "Where can this child, who was here just now, go at this critical moment of giving birthday gifts?"

"It's my mother's birthday today. Hao'er is happy. Don't drink too much. Go find it quickly so that your mother can't wait for him." Li Yaxuan stood up unhurriedly and explained with a smile.

"You guys, go quickly!" Then he ordered the maid behind him.

"Yes."

"Hahaha." An adult laughed when he heard this: "Don't be angry, old lady. This brat Haoer must have been happy and drank too much. It seems that this boy has a bad drinking capacity."

The old lady hurriedly said that it was okay, and the adult who spoke during the dinner was Zhou Jiahao's uncle, Li Yuhe, who was also Li Yao's father.

The fact that Li Yao, mother and daughter offended the Ninth Princess because of Zhao Yunzhen naturally spread to the man in the front yard. Li Yuhe is also an extremely narrow-minded person. He and Li Yaxuan are indeed brothers and sisters, and they will never think about what they have done wrong. Everything, everything will be blamed on others.
