Chapter 257: Promotion

The originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet.

The six-year-old girl didn't have any innocence on her face. Instead, she looked dignified and calm like a married lady.

Although everyone may not like children who jump away, Qin Jingshu's appearance at this time looks really weird.

Mrs. Xianguo accepted everyone's slightly shocked expressions with enjoyment, as if she had done something great.

The eldest princess frowned slightly, feeling as if she was not facing a little girl, but a carefully trained daughter-in-law.

The eldest princess could only nod lightly, instruct the attendant on the side to give him a greeting gift, and praised without hesitation: "I haven't seen such a well-behaved child in a long time."

Qin Jingshu followed her mother's instructions and thanked her steadfastly. When she did these things, she did not know how many times she had practiced, and the rules seemed to be deeply engraved in her bones.

After Qin Jingshu stood up, the eldest princess moved her eyes and saw Zhang Yunniang and Liu Xiaoru coming in with Niuniu.

"My dear baby is here, come here quickly and let me have a look." The eldest princess said loudly.

Zhang Yunniang and Liu Xiaoru were both stunned. When they received the invitation, they just treated themselves as ordinary guests. They did not expect that in front of a bunch of noble ladies, the eldest princess would praise Niu Niu so much.

Niu Niu didn't meet the eldest princess often, but she was only six years old and didn't have as many concerns as adults. In her mind, the most important identity of the eldest princess was probably Shen Changfeng's mother.

Niuniu trotted over.

The lady in the hall frowned slightly. Previously, Qin Jingshu was overly disciplined, but now Niu Niu seems to be a little unruly.

But the eldest princess obviously didn't mean to care. When Niu Niu came to salute, she stopped her and held Niu Niu's hand.

"Aunt Princess." Niu Niu shouted crisply.

Zhang Yuniang and Liu Xiaoru suddenly felt excited when they heard this title.

But the eldest princess didn't care. She looked at Niu Niu's childish white face and couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you here so late? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

If others heard this, they would be frightened and plead guilty on the spot, but Niu Niu was not aware of these problems. At this time, she raised her little face and said: "I walked in, I didn't take a sedan chair, I wanted to take a good look at it." Brother Feng’s garden is so beautiful with so many flowers!”

These words are not very appropriate, but it is true that only children would say such things.

The eldest princess was amused by her and laughed again, and said, "Since you like it, come to the princess's house more often to spend time with me and your sister Ling."

Niu Niu nodded vigorously and said, "I also like Sister Ling very much, and I like the nine-link ring that my sister gave me."

"As long as you like it, it's not in vain that she has tried so hard to collect a lot of stuff for you." The eldest princess said with a smile.

The eldest princess asked someone to give Niu Niu another meeting gift. It looked the same as the one given to Qin Jingshu, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the eldest princess liked Niu Niu very much and she still held the little girl's hand after so long.

Shen Ling on the side also said: "My dear, I got some new fun things, and I will take you to play with them later."

Niuniu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Go and play with your sister Ling."

The eldest princess handed Niuniu to Shen Ling, then introduced Zhang Yunniang to everyone, saying, "This is my son Changfeng's mistress, Mrs. Gu."

When everyone heard this title, they immediately understood that Zhang Yunniang was not an official wife and had no royal title. Although she said hello for the sake of the eldest princess, there was inevitably a bit of contempt in her eyes.

"Mrs. Gu's husband is a great man. My son, Changfeng, can carve flowers out of rotten wood. I hired so many gentlemen for him before, but they couldn't do anything for him. After being taught by Mr. Gu, now he is not only knowledgeable but also very knowledgeable." As I grow older, I become more sensible."

The eldest princess's words were not only praising Gu Mingda, but also telling the ladies present that her son was no longer the playboy he had been in the past.

Shen Changfeng is also seventeen years old, and the eldest princess wants to help him increase his worth in the marriage market.

Everyone present listened and expressed compliments, but after all, they didn't really see Shen Changfeng having any great future, and no one showed any intention to get married.

The eldest princess was not in a hurry to get engaged on the spot, but instead said: "Mrs. Gu and her husband are both capable people. Madam Gu is very good at caring for women, and she is also good at taking care of herself. Look, she has given birth to three children. There is nothing wrong with me at all..."

As soon as the eldest princess said this, all the ladies present couldn't help but look at Zhang Yunniang. They saw that this woman looked like she was only in her early twenties. She didn't wear too much makeup, so her face looked rosy and shiny, with a kind of... The beauty of health is different from others.

The women in the deep courtyard had health problems and had many inconveniences to talk to the doctor about. But facing the female doctor, there was nothing inconvenient to say. In an instant, several women started talking to Zhang Yunniang.

The eldest princess did not ignore Liu Xiaoru. She asked a few questions and told everyone about Fuwang braised food, which is now very popular in the capital, and "Fighting Evil" sung in the theater.

Liu Xiaoru is a businesswoman. With such an identity, it is indeed difficult to impress the ladies present, but she is also the protagonist in the play. There is a lady who loves to watch plays. She took Liu Xiaoru's hand and couldn't help asking for details. .

Before Liu Xiaoru came to the eldest princess's mansion, she had already prepared that she might be left out, but she still chose to come. She also wanted to see if she could find any business opportunities. Now the result is already very good.

The wife of Duke Xian looked gloomy, glared at her daughter, and then called her 14-year-old niece over: "It seems that the young ladies of each family are playing over at the waterside pavilion, you take your cousin over there."

The niece nodded obediently when she heard this, and took Qin Jingshu out.

Halfway through the journey, Qin Jingshu saw the back of Shen Ling pulling Niuniu in front of her from a distance, and asked: "Cousin, did I embarrass my mother?"

Qin Jingshu's cousin was thinking about playing with her little sister at this time, and she almost didn't come back to her senses when she heard this: "Embarrass? When did you embarrass yourself? Did I miss anything?"

The cousin thought carefully, it seemed that Qin Jingshu just followed the procedure to pay respects to the eldest princess, so how could she embarrass herself? Didn't she behave very well?

Qin Jingshu was still in a low mood and said, "I am not as good as the young lady from the Gu family who can please the princess just now."

The cousin said casually, "We already know each other and look very familiar. Why are you comparing with her?"

Even though the cousin said so, Qin Jingshu still had a gloomy face and was not happy at all.

Shen Ling held Niuniu's hand tightly and walked into the waterside pavilion through the flowers and willows.

When she let go, Shen Ling was still reluctant. Niuniu's little hand was so soft and tender that she knew it was a child as soon as she touched it. Shen Ling held Niuniu and felt like an adult.

Beside the waterside pavilion was a lotus pond, but it was still spring and the lotus had not yet bloomed, but the scene of the green lotus leaves reaching the sky was also unique.

"A Ling, whose sister is this? I have never seen her before!"

A beautiful girl who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old and dressed gorgeously came over and asked, and she also stretched out her hand to pinch Niuniu's face.
