After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 257 Promotion
The hall, which was originally a bit noisy, 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 not everyone likes a naughty child, Qin Jingshu's appearance at this moment really looks weird.

Lady Xianguogong accepted everyone's slightly shocked looks with an expression of enjoyment, as if she had done something extraordinary.

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

The princess could only nod slightly, and ordered the attendant beside her to give a greeting gift, and praised halfheartedly: "I haven't seen such a well-behaved child for a long time."

Qin Jingshu followed her mother's instructions and thanked her in a serious manner. She had no idea how many times she had practiced doing these things, and the rules seemed to be deeply engraved in her bones.

After Qin Jingshu stood up, the eldest princess shifted her gaze and saw Zhang Yuniang and Liu Xiaoru coming in with Niu Niu.

"My dear, here you are. Come here quickly and let me see you." 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 never expected that the eldest princess would honor Niu Niu so much in front of a bunch of noble ladies.

Niu Niu and the eldest princess didn't meet very 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.

Niu Niu trotted over.

The lady in the hall frowned slightly. Qin Jingshu had been too polite before, but Niuniu seemed a little unruly now.

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

"Aunt Princess." Niu Niu called out in a crisp voice.

When Zhang Yunniang and Liu Xiaoru heard this name, they immediately became nervous.

But the princess didn't care. She looked at Niuniu's innocent white face and couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so late? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

If others heard this, they would probably be so scared that they would apologize on the spot, but Niuniu was not aware of these problems. At this moment, she looked up and said, "I walked in. I didn't take a sedan chair. I wanted to take a good look at Brother Changfeng's garden. There are so many flowers. It's really beautiful!"

These words may not be very appropriate, but they are indeed what only children would say.

The princess was amused by her and started laughing again. She said, "Since you like it, come to the princess's mansion more often to accompany me and your sister Ling."

Niuniu nodded vigorously and said, "I like Sister Ling too. I like the Nine-Linked Ring that Sister gave me."

"As long as you like it, it's worth her effort to collect so many things for you." The eldest princess said with a smile.

The princess had someone send a gift to Niu Niu, which looked the same as the one she gave to Qin Jingshu, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the princess liked Niu Niu very much and she had been holding the girl's hand for such a long time.

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

Niuniu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Go ahead and play with your sister Ling."

The princess handed Niu Niu over to Shen Ling, then introduced Zhang Yunniang to everyone, saying, "This is my son Changfeng's teacher's wife, Madam Gu." When everyone heard this title, they immediately realized that Zhang Yunniang was not an official's wife and did not have any imperial decree. Although they greeted her for the sake of the princess, they couldn't help but reveal a bit of contempt in their eyes.

"Mrs. Gu's husband is an extraordinary man. He can carve flowers out of a rotten piece of wood like my son Changfeng. We hired so many teachers before, but none of them could do anything to him. After being taught by Mr. Gu, he has not only become more knowledgeable, but also much 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 used to be.

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

Everyone present complimented him upon hearing this, but after all, they had not really seen Shen Changfeng achieve anything great, so no one showed any desire to marry him.

The princess was not in a hurry to get engaged on the spot, and instead said, "Madam Gu and her husband are both capable people. Madam Gu is quite good at taking care of women, and she is also very good at taking care of herself. Look, she has given birth to three children, but she has no health problems at all..."

As soon as the eldest princess said this, the noble ladies present could not help but look at Zhang Yuniang. This woman looked to be only in her early twenties and did not wear too heavy makeup, so her complexion looked rosy and shiny, with a kind of healthy beauty different from others.

The women in the deep mansions had many health problems and found it inconvenient to talk to the doctors. But when facing a female doctor, there was nothing inconvenient to say. In an instant, several women pulled Zhang Yunniang aside to talk.

The eldest princess did not neglect Liu Xiaoru. She asked a few questions and mentioned to everyone the Fuwang braised food that was now popular in the capital, as well as the song "Fighting Evil" sung in the theater.

Liu Xiaoru was a female businessman, and such an identity was indeed difficult to impress the ladies present, but she was also the protagonist in the play. There was a lady who loved watching plays, who took Liu Xiaoru's hand and couldn't help asking about the details.

Before coming to the Princess's Mansion, Liu Xiaoru had already prepared herself for the possibility of being ignored, 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.

Lady Xian Guogong's face was dark. She glared at her daughter and then called her fourteen-year-old niece over: "It seems that the young ladies of each family are playing over at the waterside pavilion. Take your cousin over there."

When the niece heard this, she nodded obediently and pulled Qin Jingshu out.

Halfway through the journey, Qin Jingshu saw Shen Ling holding Niuniu's back from afar and asked, "Cousin, have I embarrassed our mother?"

Qin Jingshu's cousin was so obsessed with playing with her little sister that she almost lost consciousness when she heard this: "Embarrassing? When did you embarrass yourself? Did I miss anything?"

My cousin thought back carefully and it seemed that Qin Jingshu just followed the procedure to pay respects to the princess. How could she have the chance to embarrass herself? Didn't she behave well?

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

My cousin said casually, "We already know each other and seem to be very familiar with each other. Why are you comparing yourself with her?"

Even though her cousin said so, Qin Jingshu still had a gloomy face and didn't look happy at all.

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

When it was time to let go, Shen Ling was still a little reluctant. Niuniu's hands were so soft and tender, and he could tell it was a child just by touching her. Shen Ling held Niuniu and felt as if he had become an adult.

Next to the water pavilion is a lotus pond, but it is still spring and the lotus flowers have not yet bloomed. However, the scene of the lush green lotus leaves reaching the sky is also unique.

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

A beautiful girl who was dressed gorgeously and looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old came over and asked. She also reached out and pinched Niu Niu's face.
