Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

Although her position could not be changed, she was still granted by the Queen the right to manage the household affairs of the Prince's Mansion, which also served as a protection for the twins, a boy and a girl.

There was also a long list of various rare jewels as rewards, but Su Xinqing didn't remember too many of them.

What cannot be ignored is that Su Xinya’s daughter was awarded the title: "Princess Leling" and her son was canonized as "Crown Grandson".

As soon as the imperial edict came out, the faces of the Jiang family turned pale. Originally, everyone in the Duke Jiang's mansion was reluctant to attend the full moon banquet for a concubine's child.

The two daughters of the Jiang family each gave birth to a royal grandson and a royal granddaughter, but neither of them got any honor.

Today, it was actually won by a concubine.

The Crown Prince's Consort Jiang Xinrou, who was sitting next to the Crown Prince, clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

She watched Su Xinya accept the reward and secretly vowed in her heart that she would make sure her child got the status they deserved.

At the following banquet, the emperor and the empress left one after another, and the whole hall became really lively.

Jiang Xinrou also found an excuse to get close to Su Xinya, and congratulated her with a smile, as if they really had a deep sisterly relationship.

People who participated in the third-day baptism ceremony presented gifts to the prince and expressed their blessings to the two little grandsons.

However, no one noticed that the maidservant beside Concubine Su never came back after she went out.

"Third sister, why are you sitting here? Why don't you go and congratulate our stepmother and step-sister?" As Su Xinru is Su Xinya's cousin, she would naturally come over.

As for Su Xintao, she no longer has this opportunity.

However, Su Xinqing was still surprised that Su Xinwan could come here in such a good mental state.

But upon closer inspection, she saw dark circles under her eyes that couldn't be covered up even with thick makeup, but Su Xinqing still nodded.

While they were talking, Su Xinqing still wanted to see whether He Yuanming would give up such a good opportunity.

She took a casual glance and saw He Yuanming staring at Su Xinya in fascination.

"Fourth sister, it seems to me that your fourth brother-in-law doesn't seem very happy today. Could it be that he has been exhausted by the busy schedule?" Although it was not very tactful, it was straightforward.

So, Su Xinwan soon saw He Yuanming who was staring at Su Xinya.

"It turns out that when I was at home, I often heard that fourth sister-in-law was studious and ambitious. He often came to the mansion to discuss academic matters with my eldest brother. He is really diligent. He is already an official, but he is still so hardworking. It is really rare. Fourth sister is so lucky to marry a good husband. People envy her!" Su Xinqing seemed to follow Su Xinwan's line of sight and looked over openly.

I saw that the infatuated Meng Lang's eyes were still glued to Su Xinya.

Su Xinwan's turquoise coat made her face look even paler. She moved her thin lips several times, trying to say something in rebuttal, but failed.

Su Xinru, who was misunderstood by the two, had already lost her patience.

Seeing that both of them were looking in the same direction, he also looked over and didn't take it to heart.

She said angrily, "Fourth sister, why are you looking at me? Staring at a woman like that is so disrespectful!"

Su Xinqing: "..." She suddenly looked behind her, at the person she had deliberately ignored.

He covered his cherry lips with the handkerchief, looked around, and quickly pulled Su Xinru to Wei's side.

She said very considerately: "Aunt San, let Sister Xinru follow you all the time. We were chatting just now, and she seemed to have said something wrong."

Wei was chatting with several ladies she was on good terms with. Unfortunately, among them was Su Xinru's future mother-in-law, the wife of Duke Zhang's second wife, Xiao He.

"What's wrong? Is this the third young lady who married into the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion? Oh, she's so lovely. Miss Su San, what did you say happened to the seventh young lady just now?" Little He looked over with a smile on her face, her eyes full of tenderness and kindness. If you didn't know, you would think she was a really amiable elder.

In fact, this was not the first time she had met Xiao He. In the past, she always followed behind Su Xinya.

Although sometimes, when Li introduced her, some ladies who were more particular would give her some worthless trinkets as a gift.

However, those who don't care do see her, and it's the same as if they didn't see her.

As for this little He, she treated her like a nobody. It could be said that she was both disregarding her reputation and stingy. This was Su Xinqing's ultimate evaluation of her.

"Hello, Second Madam," Su Xinqing still bowed politely. She couldn't believe that with so many people around, and it was a full-moon banquet at the Prince's Mansion, the other party would still be so stingy. What's more, she was from Concubine Su's family and the daughter-in-law of the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion.

With several identities as an asset, Xiao He was seen smiling reluctantly as she pulled out a gold bracelet of not very good quality from her wrist.

"Thank you, Second Madam. This is what happened. Seventh sister probably saw it wrongly just now, saying that Fourth brother-in-law was looking at Eldest brother-in-law."

"I……"

"Shut up!" Su Xinru wanted to refute, but was stopped by Wei, who smiled and gave Su Xinqing a peony-patterned cloisonné enamel bracelet as well: "Aunt, thank you, it's your seventh sister who made a mistake. Maybe she knew she would meet you sisters today and was so excited that she didn't get enough rest and was talking nonsense. Third Miss, you've really grown up. You've become prettier and more talkative."

Although Wei usually disliked Su Xinya and Li's mother and daughter in the mansion, she still knew what was important in this kind of situation.

However, they also have their own calculations in mind. Their daughter is young and cannot see it, but they are experienced people.

If you think about the whole story, how could you not know? How could the legitimate son of the Earl of Yongchang be willing to marry a girl born out of wedlock?

Moreover, I seemed to have heard that the fourth young lady had not yet consummated her marriage with the fourth uncle. It was said that when the fourth young lady came back, she had a big cry to the old lady about this matter.

"Ru'er, why don't you tell your third sister thank you? If your childish words make your fourth sister angry, I, your mother, will not care about you anymore."

"She dares..." Just as Su Xinru wanted to refute again, she saw her mother's shuddering face.

Then he quietly hid behind Xiao He.

"Okay, okay, you are not a master, Sister Wei, you are too harsh. It's just a little thing between sisters, it's not worth you being so serious. Ru'er, let's go over there with your aunt and talk to some aunts from the Zhang family, and get to know some sisters." Little He's eyes turned and she could guess the general idea.

Seeing the looks of Wei and the third daughter of the Su family, they didn't seem to be fake.

However, when she looked over, the second son of the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion was no longer sitting in his seat.

Even Concubine Su was no longer in her position.

In this case, I can only ask Seventh Girl about the situation. Who knows, I might get some unexpected benefits.

Thinking of this, he held Su Xinru's hand even tighter.

Seeing her daughter being taken away by her future mother-in-law, Mrs. Wei felt relieved. As long as Mrs. He liked her daughter, it was fine.

In the future, when my daughter marries into Duke Zhang’s mansion, maybe she can even support my son.

Seeing everyone's abacus clacking, Su Xinqing felt relieved.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Wei, he returned to his seat to eat something and enjoy the singing and dancing in the Prince's Mansion.
