At night, Cheng Zongyang rested in Qiu Shui Garden.

The next morning, Zhou dressed very eye-catchingly and went to the main courtyard.

"I'm here to pay my respects to Madam. I'm a little late today. It's really because of the Prime Minister..." After saying this, her cheeks turned red and she laughed while covering her lips with a handkerchief.

Lin said coldly: "You are already old, it is better to be more stable. Acting like this will only disgust people."

The smile on Zhou's face froze. Lin Manqing was just jealous of her.

Although she was a few years older than Lin Manqing and had given birth to two children, she was skilled in medicine and paid attention to maintenance. With the help of rouge and powder from Yun Ge's shop, she looked even more beautiful than Lin Manqing.

When Lin Manqing was unhappy, she felt happy.

Mrs. Zhou was not a pushover either, and she immediately hit on Mrs. Lin's sore spot, "Madam, you feel sick? Are you pregnant? Madam has been in the Prime Minister's Residence for four or five years, right? She should be pregnant by now."

"When I was pregnant with Chuan'er and Yun Ge, I vomited for three whole months. It was really painful." She said she suffered, but her face was full of boasting.

Lin Manqing's face turned pale, and he pointed at the door and shouted angrily: "Get out!"

Seeing that Lin was so angry that she broke down, Zhou curled her lips in triumph and then talked about business: "Madam, in half a month, the eldest daughter will also go to Princess Yongfu's poetry gathering. The prime minister asked me to ask you for some money to buy the eldest daughter some decent clothes and jewelry."

She couldn't hide the pride in her brows.

Cheng Jiuyuan can no longer be relied upon, so her Yun Ge's reputation will naturally rise.

Lin's fingers tightly grasped the edge of the table, "Go to the accounting office and withdraw fifty taels!"

"Fifty taels is not enough. The Prime Minister attaches great importance to this poetry gathering! The eldest daughter is the favorite disciple of the Shangguan Lady Official. This poetry gathering is destined to be a sensation and attract everyone's attention. Madam, please don't be stingy. If you have your own children in the future, you will definitely worry about them like I do."

Seeing Zhou's smug face, Lin wanted to scratch her face.

At this time, Nanny Wang beside Lin smiled and said, "Madam, you should be worried. This girl has to call you mother. Even if this girl marries a rich man in the future, she will have to rely on the Prime Minister and General Lin. After all, the Zhou family and Young Master Changchuan..."

Zhou's smug look instantly shifted to Lin's face.

Lin smiled and said, "Yes, no matter what, I am the mistress of the Xiangfu, and this cannot be changed."

Her father was a cavalry commander with 30,000 cavalrymen under his command. Even if she had no children, no one could shake her position.

Even if Zhou promoted her to a co-wife, she would still be lower than her!

Nanny Wang looked at Zhou and said, "Madam Zhou, you know how much our Prime Minister's salary is. What kind of clothes and accessories do you want to buy? Fifty taels is not enough."

"The Prime Minister has always advocated frugality, so please don't ruin his reputation."

Zhou wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, and said unwillingly: "But that is a banquet held by the royal family, and the prince and the prince will go..."

"I see that the second young lady doesn't dress up much, but she looks pretty."

Zhou gritted her teeth.

Even though Yun Ge was her daughter, she had to admit that Yun Ge's appearance was worse than that little bitch's.

Seeing that she would not be able to get much money today, Zhou bowed and said, "Then I will withdraw."

As she walked out of the main courtyard, she heard the sound of porcelain falling to the ground behind her.

Zhou curled her lips. So what if she was the mistress? She had no children, and she had the final say in the future.

Lin smashed a teacup and yelled in anger: "Bitch, all she does is show off her two children all day long. One of them only knows how to recite poems and write couplets all day long, and the other is a disgusting homosexual. What is there to show off!"

Nanny Wang gently stroked her back to comfort her.

"Madam, why are you angry with a slave? This is lowering your status."

After a while, Lin's anger finally subsided a little.

She looked at her abdomen with a worried look on her face. "Mammy, it's been four or five years. How can you say..."

Nanny Wang looked around and lowered her voice and said, "Madam, you have seen so many doctors, and they all said that you are healthy. The problem lies with the Prime Minister."

Lin's eyes widened, and she quickly said in distress: "If this is true, then won't we just have to watch Qiu Shuiyuan being proud?"

No, she must have a child of her own no matter what!

In the following period of time, Cheng Zongyang was indeed very concerned about Cheng Yunge, and even stayed in Qiu Shui Garden for ten days.

Zhou even walked with great confidence, openly and secretly mocking Lin for not being able to have children.

There were less than three days left before the Juyue Poetry Meeting, and the custom-made clothes and jewelry had already been delivered to the Prime Minister's residence.

Cheng Yunge looked at the neatly arranged clothes and jewelry in the room with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Yun Ge, these are all made according to your preferences. They are all simple and elegant in style. Go and try them."

The maids helped her change clothes and comb her hair, and she did her makeup herself.

After finishing her makeup, Cheng Yunge stood up and turned around.

"how?"

"Beautiful! So beautiful!"

"The girl is really a fairy from heaven."

Cheng Yunge looked into the bronze mirror and smiled.

Zhou looked at her daughter excitedly: "Yun Ge, don't you have a good relationship with Princess Yongfu? She is the prince's younger sister, you can use her to get in touch with the prince. As long as the prince sees you like this, he will definitely be fascinated by you. Your status as a concubine's daughter is not a problem, your father will definitely help you solve it."

"Then wouldn't my daughter be the Crown Princess, the future Queen Mother?"

Thinking of that scene, Zhou couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

Cheng Yunge sneered, what prince? The prince will soon be deposed by Chu Ze.

What she wanted to enter was Chu Ze's eyes.

She was confident that Chu Ze would be fascinated by her talent and beauty.

Cheng Yunge asked the maid beside her calmly: "Haitang, Dingxiang, who do you think is prettier, me or Cheng Jiuyuan?"

The maid was stunned for a moment, then praised: "Of course the girl is pretty."

"How can the second young lady compare with you?"

Their momentary hesitation made Cheng Yunge's smile fade a little.

The Juyue Poetry Banquet is her best chance to conquer Chu Ze, and she will not allow any accidents to happen.

Although Cheng Jiuyuan is engaged, there is still a variable.

What she thought at first was that Cheng Jiuyuan, a country girl, must not have any talent, and she was just using her as a stepping stone at the poetry meeting.

But now that I think about it, Cheng Jiuyuan's face is the biggest variable.

If Cheng Jiuyuan continues to be sick, it would be best if she couldn't go.
