If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

Emperor Shun stopped talking. He didn't want to reveal all the cards Meixiang had revealed. After discussing with the four heads of the family yesterday, they decided to announce it in court. Firstly, to establish Meixiang's authority. Although they, mother and daughter, were not in the palace, their contributions could not be erased by anyone. Secondly, he couldn't help it. As a father, he was proud of his daughter's excellence. Thirdly, it would let those rats hiding in the dark show their heads so that they could take action.

The expressions of the princes and the others were all in sight. Emperor Shun and the four elders sneered in their hearts. Haoyue had only been established for 20 years and the external troubles had not yet been completely settled, but some people were already preparing to make moves. Xiang'er was a girl, so they could still suppress their tempers temporarily. If it was a boy, his life would probably be in danger all the time.

"Mr. Li from the Ministry of Revenue, you will be in charge of all matters related to tea. Your department is required to come up with a specific implementation plan and personnel arrangements within three days."

"Mr. Luo from the Ministry of Industry, you will be in charge of potato matters. Your department is required to come up with a specific promotion plan within three days."

"Lord Yang from the Ministry of Rites, have your department prepare all matters for the return of the Queen and the Princess. Also, choose a suitable residence outside the palace for the Princess to stay. Submit a specific plan as soon as possible."

The senior officials from the Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Works, and Ministry of Rites agreed one by one. After the court was dismissed, the doormen of the Chu, Feng, and Situ families were so overwhelmed with visiting invitations that the doors of the study rooms of the heads of the families were about to be broken down.

In Ci'an Hall, the main house of Feng Mansion, the old lady was sitting on a soft chair at the top. A girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, was half-sitting on the footrest and tapping the old lady's legs gently with a small hammer. On the left and right sides below were sitting the ladies of the first, second and third rooms respectively.

"Oh, our Jing'er has become more and more considerate. She serves mother very well. Whoever marries her in the future will be blessed." Madam Feng said with a smile, pinching her handkerchief.

"What are you talking about, Second Aunt? Jing'er just wants to accompany Grandmother and doesn't want to get married." The girl kept moving her hands and blushed as she turned to look at Madam Feng. Then she turned to Madam Feng and said coquettishly, "Grandmother, you see, Second Aunt is planning for me. Please talk to her."

"Oh, grandma's dear, don't pay attention to your second aunt, she is a talkative person." The old lady took a sip of water from the nanny's hand, patted the girl's head and chuckled.

"Mom, look, now you only have your precious granddaughter in your eyes. I told you that you are partial and you still don't accept it." The second wife laughed in a pinched throat.

The old lady glared at her and said, "If I don't treasure my dear granddaughter, how can I treasure a naughty monkey like you?" Then, as if she had thought of something, she turned to Madam Feng who was drinking tea quietly and said, "By the way, eldest wife, the weather is about to get hot. It's time to buy Jing'er some of the latest summer clothes and jewelry. Remember to find the best embroiderer, and the materials and workmanship should be finer."

"I heard that the Sun family cloth shop has recently launched a new batch of red and green colors, which are just right for Jing'er, who is as young as a flower. It will be perfect for her to wear when she goes out for spring outings. It will definitely attract a lot of young men." The second lady looked at the old lady's face and said something humorous.

Sure enough, the old lady's face became happier after hearing this: "Let's do it this way. You should keep a close eye on the matter of the eldest brother's wife."

The eldest lady looked up and saw the fleeting greed and pride in Jing'er's eyes as she sat sideways beneath the old lady.

The girl named Jing'er was originally named Zhou Jing. Six years ago, when Mrs. Zhou was returning to her parents' home to visit her relatives, Zhou Jing accidentally bumped into the sedan chair due to the crowded crowd. The old lady saw that she looked pitiful and resembled her daughter 60%, so she took her back to the Feng Mansion in the capital and lived in the old lady's Ci'an Hall. Her food, clothing and expenses were all like those of the young ladies of the capital. Because the third generation of the Feng Mansion had only one girl, Meixiang, and she had been away from home since she was born, Zhou Jing had always regarded herself as the granddaughter of the Feng Mansion.

If the old lady is happy, others will just treat it as someone they have kept to keep her company and entertain her. Anyway, the Feng Mansion doesn't need this kind of talk. However, if some people are too ambitious and want to take things that don't belong to her, then they are overestimating their own abilities.

"The cloth has only been sampled. It is said that it has not been mass-produced yet and the quantity is very small. I am afraid that I have failed to live up to your trust. What do you think about this matter?" The eldest lady paused for a moment and changed the subject: "You have heard about the recent situation in the mansion. Because of my cousin's matter, the concierge has received so many visiting cards that they are half a person tall. The master has asked me to turn down all of them. In addition, my cousin's birthday is coming soon. The emperor just announced the identities and deeds of my aunt and cousin in front of all the ministers. What do you think of this year's birthday gift?"

The old lady's face froze, and she said uncomfortably, "It's the same this year as it was in previous years. Well, I'm tired. You and the third daughter-in-law can go back and get busy."

The first and third wives secretly pouted and stood up at the same time, "Then mother, have a good rest, and I'll take my leave." The two walked out of Ci'an Hall at the same time, and at the fork in the road where they were about to part, "Sister-in-law, I'm making a spring shirt for Xiao Si and Xiao Wu recently. I wonder if you have any nice embroidery patterns?"

"If you don't mind, sister-in-law, you can come to my place and look for her. I remember that Zhen'er liked Cuizhu's mistress very much last time." The eldest lady said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, sister-in-law has a good memory. I'm sorry to bother you then."

The two of them walked into the main hall of the courtyard of the main house while chatting all the way. Their eyes lightly swept over a little girl sweeping the floor from the third house who was hiding behind the flowers on the side of the road.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think mother means? And the second sister-in-law is even spying on us." The Third Lady was born the second daughter of the prefect's family. She was a low-key person and naturally looked down on the Second Lady, who was the niece of the old lady who was also from the Zhou family. Since the day of the engagement, her mother and elder sister have always emphasized that if she has any questions, she should consult the eldest sister-in-law who is from the Taifu's family. Be humble and respectful, and the eldest sister-in-law will definitely not make things difficult for her. This has also been her way of getting along in the Feng family over the years. It really suits the eldest sister-in-law's appetite and helps her a lot.

The eldest lady looked at her third sister-in-law, who was five years younger than her and full of anger. She was the only one she could talk to in all the years since she married into the Feng family. Although she was not born in a noble family, she was humble. The third sister Feng was different from the second sister Feng and her husband who only knew how to quarrel and cause trouble. She was honest, down-to-earth, and always followed her husband's lead. Naturally, she would remind her more in the backyard.

"Birthplace and upbringing can really limit a person's vision and perspective. Moreover, they are easily influenced by others and only listen to what they like and want to hear. Right and wrong are thrown aside. The older a person gets, the more obvious this becomes. Don't you think so, sister-in-law?" The eldest lady did not answer her directly, but instead added this sentence in a ambiguous way.

For a moment, the third wife was stunned with surprise.
