MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 568 Li Guibin

Concubine Xing glanced at her mother and saw that her face was a little red, so she whispered to the emperor.

“Your Majesty, my mother is very drunk. I would like to take her down to sober up. Can you?”

“My dear concubine, just go. I’ll have Mrs. Xing send the sobering soup to the side hall.”

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now."

Having said that, Concubine Xing stood up and asked the people around her to invite Mrs. Xing. Their departure naturally attracted some people's attention, but seeing that the emperor didn't express his position, the other courtiers would not say much.

 After leaving the main hall, the mother and daughter went straight to the side hall.

It was just a glass of wine. Mrs. Xing drank too much. However, after going out to blow in the cold wind, she became sober.

After listening to it for a while, Concubine Xing sighed and said.

"Why did mother go to such a confrontation with the Gu family and the Guo family? Isn't this just to give people an excuse? Why didn't those ladies see the benefits of their calls before? When they saw you coming, someone rushed in front to support you. You are going to make enemies for our Xing family. How come you have been so smart all your life and yet you fell into such a trap when you came to Sui'an City?"

Mrs. Xing was also a little annoyed at the moment. She was also known as a good person in Jinling City. How come she came to Sui'an City and became a shield for others? So after suppressing her temper, she couldn't help but gossip.

"Look at how old Mrs. Gu Du is. She is firmly sitting in the second position of Madam Gaoming. If it weren't for the fact that Madam Earl's Mansion is the Queen's biological mother, I'm afraid she would have to make way for her. We people , I have been busy all my life, and the result is still behind this girl's movie, how can I swallow this breath!"

"Moreover, our Xing family has tried every possible means to show off to the Gu family many times, but they pretended not to see it and just let it go. Instead, they are on good terms with the Earl's Mansion and the Li family. This is not an obvious intention to kiss the Yan family or not. Our Xing family? Do I still want to make her face? "

Mrs. Xing spoke in a low voice. She also knew that she was in the palace, so it was not easy for her to talk casually. Who knew that Concubine Xing felt it was inappropriate after hearing this.

"Not to mention that the Gu family and the Guo family have not made their stance clear yet. If my mother is dealing with these two people in such a hurry, isn't she just sending help to the queen? Mother is confused."

Mrs. Xing didn't look very good after hearing this. Of course she knew that these words should not be spoken today, but as soon as the words came to her lips, she seemed to ignore them, so she took Concubine Xing's hand and said .

"Have I caused trouble for you? The Queen won't let this matter go, right?"

Seeing that her mother had reacted, Concubine Xing did not continue to scare her, but spoke lightly.

"I didn't do anything wrong. Even if the Queen wants to make things difficult for me, she can't. So don't worry, mother, but don't act impulsively in the future. Even if the Gu family and the Guo family don't help us in the future, they can never Push them to the Earl's Palace, do you understand?"

Mrs. Xing is not stupid. Her own daughter has already talked about this. How can she still not understand? So he nodded and said.

“Don’t worry, I’ll make amends to both of them personally during the warm banquet in the next few days, and I will never let the relationship deteriorate any further.”

Concubine Xing nodded. It was a rare occasion for mother and daughter to see each other, so she brought the topic to the Seventh Prince and enjoyed the moment of family bonding.

 In the main hall, the singing and dancing continued.

After the little conflict just now, no one dared to offend Du Jingyi easily at this moment. The Vice Minister's wife Li and Mrs. Li who were sitting not far away from her also came while toasting to the Countess. Du Jingyi said next to him.

"Mrs. Xing is really angry and doesn't look at the situation. Mrs. Gu, are you okay?" Du Jingyi smiled slightly. Although the Xing family is not a good person, the Earl's Mansion and the Li family also have other thoughts. She is not stupid. How can you not hear this kind of embellished words?

“Xue Niang and I also joked a bit. It’s hard to make Mrs. Xing angry when it’s the Chinese New Year. I’ll give her a toast later.”

Mrs. Guo San looked at the two of them and said nothing more.

I just picked up the wine cup at hand and drank a little, and I didn't bother to look at the fake faces of these ladies anymore.

 After a while, Mrs. Xing came back and sat down.

Before she said the first sentence, Du Jingyi generously motioned to Xue Niang to hold the wine glasses together, and then said to Mrs. Xing.

“Mrs.

How could Mrs. Xing not appreciate the honor given to Du Jingyi, so she smiled kindly and said to her.

"It's also my fault. I haven't gone north for many years, so I'm a little acclimated and started talking nonsense. Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Guo Si should not be weird. You must go to the Nuanju Banquet in a few days. , I will definitely make amends when the time comes."

As soon as she said this, Du Jingyi couldn't help but go.

 So after looking at each other, Xue Niang smiled and said something back.

"The Xing family and the Gu family are already in a marriage relationship. If you become a host, we will naturally congratulate you."

With two sentences, the original light and shadow of the sword became a joy.

The ladies who had previously encouraged Mrs. Xing to cause trouble were a little embarrassed at this moment. However, the people in the Earl's Mansion and Mrs. Li who were sitting behind Du Jingyi, although their faces were calm, felt like a warning bell had been sounded in their hearts.

Although Queen Yan was watching the singing and dancing, she could still see the scene here from the corner of her eye. When she saw Du Jingyi and Mrs. Xing toasting each other, her eyes dimmed slightly, but when she opened them again, they returned to their previous state.

 A palace banquet is more about watching a play.

Everyone else has their own thoughts, but Mrs. Li is more worried about her youngest daughter, Li Guibin, who has been promoted to the throne.

The day she gave birth to the princess was similar to the day her eldest daughter gave birth to her baby. Logically speaking, she was still in the palace during her confinement period, so she should have been taken care of more carefully. However, Mrs. Li looked carefully. Although her makeup and hair were exquisite, and her clothes were luxurious, there was a sense of exhaustion in her brows and eyes.

 She can't be compared with the eldest daughter in the Duke's mansion. Seeing this, Mrs. Li felt very distressed.

Perhaps her gaze was too sincere, so Li Guibin also felt that she was indeed not in good health now. The reason why she came to this palace banquet was for the sake of her family and her own right to speak in the future.

I was afraid that my mother would be worried, so I wiped the sweat on my temples with a handkerchief and straightened my body quickly. No matter what, it would be good to make the family less worried. (End of chapter)
