Chapter 583 - 583 Royal Family’s Banquet (4)



“Yes.” Zhou Jiaying turned around and left.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Before, she could have been the main consort, but because of Consort Shu’s dissuasion, His Highness made her the secondary consort.

All these years, she has always been respectful to her. She was just short of clinging to her daily, yet Consort Shu harbored no sincerity in her respect.

On the other hand, Consort Shu was beaming with joy the moment Hong Suzhi arrived. Was it because her father was not as influential as the Hong Family?

Or did she look down on her from the very beginning?

She got really angry when she thought of this.

When she thought of His Highness’ cold attitude toward her, the anger in her heart rose further. It seemed that she had been too obedient to them in the past. It was time to let them see the capabilities of the Zhou family.

Thinking of this, she returned to look at her child. Seeing that her daughter was already asleep, she sent someone to send the baby back and then went to look for her mother.

After Zhou Ying and her group walked around for a while, they encountered a large group of officials in official uniforms surrounding Gu Chengrui and saying something.

However, those officials were all unfamiliar faces. Zhou Ying turned to look at Mingyu and asked, “Mingyu, where did those officials come from?”

“If I’m not wrong, they are from the northern regions here for the sweet potatoes, new wheat seeds, and greenhouse vegetables.”

“Haven’t the sweet potatoes and wheat been promoted to them?”

“The country is so big, so how can a small amount of seeds cover the entire country? My father told me that sweet potatoes are mostly distributed in mountainous and sandy areas.

“For those with good land, wheat was given.

“They were allowed to stay in the capital this time to give them options to support each other.”

Zhou Ying listened to the Mingyu points and nodded. She suddenly thought of Gu Ziyi, who got her position snatched by the daughter of Magistrate Zhao and almost killed her.

Would Magistrate Zhao be here this time?

After that, the three strolled and went straight to the banquet venue. This banquet wasn’t set in the imperial court. Instead, they set up a large tent outside the imperial court in a large open space.

After entering, they found a table for the Gu Residence and sat down.

When Zhou Ying saw there was tea, she asked the palace maid to bring a pot. She then poured a cup of tea for each of them.

After taking a sip of tea, she glanced at the four rows of long and dense seats and said, “It seems that the scale of this banquet is very large.”

“Yeah, all officials above the fifth rank in the capital, including all officials all over the country, must participate.” Mingyu nodded.

She added, “Oh, haha, if you are selling your vegetables again, Sister Zhou, remember to leave some for our King An’s Imperial Residence.”

“What are you saying? When have we ever not remembered King An’s Imperial Residence?”

“I knew Sister Zhou always treated me the best!”

“A princess calling a woman without an imperial mandate her sister? Aren’t you afraid of ruining seniority?” The Eighth Princess walked in with a group of people and retorted.

“This princess’ status is not high enough, so there’s no need to suck up to others.” After Mingyu finished speaking, she glanced at the crowd behind the Eight Princess and said, “I suggest that you carefully identify the people around you and consider your friends seriously.”

“Hmph, you’re just jealous that I have so many friends.” After the Eighth Princess finished speaking, she brought her sisters to sit around her.

“She has no distinction between good and bad friends.” Mingyu shook her head and ignored her.

Zhou Ying smiled when she saw this. “It’s fine, as long as we did our part.”

“That’s true. Anyway, the two of us don’t really care about each other.” Mingyu nodded in agreement.

“By the way, Wanning,” she said to Gu Wanning, “how’s the preparation of your dowry going? Is there anything I can help you with?”
