Chapter 357 Always the Good Kid in the Family

Qin Jingshu followed the wife of Duke Xian, so she naturally couldn't eat a full meal like usual. She was keenly aware of her mother's abnormality.

Looking at the noble lady beside her in gorgeous clothes, the veins on her hand holding the handkerchief were exposed, and she knew how uneasy she was inside.

Qin Jingshu suddenly felt that she was a bad daughter.

Her mother was upset, and she didn't want to comfort her. Instead, she wanted to laugh a little, and even wanted to eat a few cakes to match her mother's jealous expression.

It must be very delicious.

But she didn't feel happy for long. The wife of Duke Xian suddenly turned around and scolded in a low voice: "It's because you are useless! You can't even compare to a country girl!"

Qin Jingshu's heart was suddenly shrouded in a haze, and she lowered her head, no longer in the mood to eat cakes.

When Zhang Yunniang returned to her seat, her head was still dizzy. She thought that entering the palace was just to see the child, and she was not used to the nobles' blatant praise.

The seats at this banquet were arranged according to official positions and titles. Gu Mingda's official position was the lowest, and Zhang Yunniang was ranked very far behind. The noble ladies beside him were either from the Earl's Mansion or the families of third-rank officials. They originally didn't want to pay attention to Zhang Yunniang.

At this time, they actually came over and asked about parenting tips.

"Madam Gu, what does your daughter like to eat? She looks white and plump, just like the lucky dolls in the New Year pictures. I am happy to see her. No wonder the Queen Mother loves everything."

Zhang Yunniang wanted to say "she loves ginger", but she swallowed it and said, "My daughter is not picky about food. She likes to eat everything. It may be because her appetite is better than that of ordinary children, so she is strong."

"Not being picky about food is good. My daughter is three years old this year. She needs servants to chase her to feed her when she eats. She is so naughty."

Zhang Yunniang said casually: "Our Niuniu, at the age of three, eats by herself and can help adults with work."

Niuniu was raised in Zhang Guangzong's home when she was a child. If she couldn't eat by herself at the age of three, she would have starved to death.

When the noble ladies heard this, they sighed: "She is still a little baby at the age of three, but she can do so many things. Madam Gu really teaches well."

But they couldn't help but stamp Zhang Yunniang with the stamp of "heartless mother" in their hearts.

As the banquet came to an end, the empress dowager who was sitting at the top left the table, and the ladies could not stay here any longer.

However, just as Zhang Yunniang was about to leave, another palace servant stopped her: "Madam Gu, the empress dowager invites you."

Hearing this, the noble ladies around her cast envious eyes again.

"Madam Gu gave birth to a good daughter, you should also work hard for me." Madam Song whispered to her daughter.

Song Miaomiao nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, Niuniu is very good, I like her so much, I really wish she was my sister! Mother, can you give me a sister like Niuniu?"

Madam Song almost laughed when she heard this. She really raised a good daughter who was against the will of heaven. She asked her daughter to be more motivated, and her daughter urged her mother to work hard and give birth to another good daughter!

Song Miaomiao didn't show any emotion. She stared at her mother's belly and kept saying, "Come on, sister, come on! I love my sister the most!"

Mrs. Song interrupted her daughter and said, "Okay, okay, just take care of yourself in the palace. I don't dare to ask you for more."

Mrs. Song now has a son and a daughter. Although she loves Song Miaomiao, she also hopes to have more sons to consolidate her position. She was shocked when she heard that Song Miaomiao was crazy about recruiting sisters.

"I still have something to say to my sister. Didn't mother teach me that interrupting others is not a good child?" Song Miaomiao said unhappily.

Mrs. Song wanted to kneel down to this little ancestor and said, "Don't you want your cousin's twelve zodiac ornaments? I will help you get it back when I go back, okay?"

When Song Miaomiao heard this, she immediately forgot about her sister.

The lady of Duke Xian, who was not far away, wanted to pull Qin Jingshu to tell her something, but Qin Jingshu said, "Mother, the virtuous concubine seems to be looking for me. I'll go back first."

Qin Jingshu actually only saw the maid of the virtuous concubine. After being in the palace for so long, she was a little homesick. After today's banquet, she suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with staying in the virtuous concubine's palace.

Although the virtuous concubine was old-fashioned and looked a little serious, she was at least a normal person and would not torture her daughter.

Zhang Yunniang followed the palace maid and thought she would pay homage to the empress dowager again, but she was led to a pavilion unexpectedly.

From a distance, she saw Niuniu and a young concubine talking together. After approaching, Zhang Yunniang recognized that this breathtakingly beautiful woman was Luo Meiren, whom she had seen at the banquet before.

"Madam Gu, I wonder if my family is doing well now?" Luo Meiren asked proactively.

It is inconvenient to transmit news inside and outside the palace, and the Luo family did use Zhang Yunniang to transmit the news this time.

Zhang Yunniang did not intend to let her daughter be the messenger, so the letter was still in her arms.

Lady Luo looked at the words "My beloved daughter Jiaojiao wrote to me" on the letter, and tears almost fell.

She bowed to Zhang Yunniang gracefully: "Thank you, Madam, sorry to bother you."

Lady Luo did not go far, but went to the rockery not far from the pavilion to wait.

"Mother, I asked the Queen Mother to let me talk to you before the palace gates are locked. I also asked the imperial kitchen to make a lot of delicious food, all of which I have tasted personally. I definitely don't have them at home. I can bring them back and let you taste them." Niuniu rushed over and said.

The little girl was greedy for the warmth in her mother's arms, and it would be good to stay with Zhang Yunniang for a while longer.

Zhang Yunniang couldn't help but worry when she heard this: "Will the Queen Mother be unhappy?"

Niuniu looked puzzled and said: "The child wants to stay with her mother, and I want to share the delicious food with my family. Isn't this human nature? Why should the Queen Mother be unhappy?"

Zhang Yunniang sighed and said: "I'm afraid that if I ask too much, the Queen Mother will think you are spoiled."

It's nothing to just beg for a meeting. Asking for so many snacks from the imperial kitchen is probably

Niuniu understood the meaning of this word, tilted her head, and said: "But if she really loves me, she shouldn't care about these. If she really doesn't like me, then I'll leave the palace. Anyway, I will always be the good baby of the family."

Zhang Yunniang looked at her daughter's innocent face, and she couldn't help but wonder if she was wrong. She was born in a humble family, and she was always trembling when facing the favor of the nobles, but she forgot that even if she lost the favor of the nobles, their family could still live well.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunniang also smiled and said, "You are right, you will always be the good baby of the family."
