Chapter 37 Another reward
If the second princess is filial to her, the old lady will naturally love her.

Just look at the palace maids around her and you will know that she is also a kind old woman.

But if the second princess is disobedient and unfilial, then the old lady will naturally despise her.

As for Yu Lu's case, she was a palace maid whom the old lady loved very much before. Now that she has done such a shameful thing, the old lady will naturally not show any mercy to her.

Yue Shu looked at the old lady's sad expression. She understood that the old lady, who was so kind to the palace maids, must have loved the second princess.

Seeing the second princess like this, she, a kind-hearted old woman, felt more heartbroken than anyone else.

"You don't have to chase me away! I won't even pay any attention to you if you try to curry my favor!"

The second princess only knew in her heart that she must avenge all the humiliation she suffered today in the future!
So even though she was angry, she still held her chin high and walked out the door leisurely.

Looking at the Second Princess like this, the Third Lady just wanted to laugh.

Turning her head, she looked at the little person in front of her loosening the old lady's shoulders and sighed that things in the world are unpredictable. Who would have thought that after Yu Lu left, it would be a little palace maid who could reach the heart of the old lady.

There are at least a hundred maids serving in the old lady's palace, but none of them can compare to the eight or nine-year-old Little Dragon Girl, who has little magical power.

This little girl had no intention of currying favor with her master, and the Third Lady was happy to see this situation. She watched as the eldest princess, who was contradicted by her own sister, pretended to be fine.

She disliked concubines' daughters and couldn't stand the way the eldest princess fawned on the queen in order to make a living.

"Mother, the Third Prince told me a few days ago that there is a villa in Crystal City that is very pleasant. Why don't you go there with me, mother and sister-in-law, to relax?"

"You young people have just gotten married, so we won't disturb your sweet life!"

The old lady was very satisfied with the closer relationship between the Third Prince and Lianyun. She only looked at Lianyun's belly expectantly, but didn't say much. She smiled and reminded,
"You should pay attention to your safety and bring more guards."

As an old woman, she just hopes to mind her own business and enjoy her retirement. She doesn't like to have too many thoughts about the lives of her son and daughter-in-law or the household affairs. Her children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.

"Okay, mother."

The Third Lady also nodded, feeling very satisfied with this kind of life.

My mother-in-law is open-minded, my sister-in-law is virtuous, and my husband is not a fool.

Add to that the secret medicine given as a betrothal gift, and the favor from Heaven because of her immortal fetus and the true dragon bloodline that she shares with the Third Prince, and I'm afraid she'll be able to break through to the Yuanshen realm soon. With such a life, what else could she be dissatisfied with?

The Third Lady continued to say to the Old Lady with gratitude:

"Mother, my mother sent me some fairy cloud satin some time ago. Although it is not produced by those fairy silkworm tribes, it is also a new style now. I think some of it is quite suitable for you and sister-in-law. I will ask someone to send it to you later."

"Okay, then you bring it here. I'll ask Yueyue to make two sets for me, so that an old woman like me can look beautiful!"

There were innumerable rare treasures in the Crystal Palace, including quite a few from the fairy silkworm clan, but the old lady didn't care.

But what she wants is the love her daughter-in-law has for her——

When cultivating immortality, one is cultivating to become an immortal, but the one who cultivates immortality is a mortal being.

When she was young, she only wanted to seek immortality, visit gods and Buddhas, and ask the Dragon Ancestor for advice. Now that she is old and the path is uncertain, the old lady puts more of her energy and attention on her family and children and grandchildren. Now she looks no different from an old lady who is enjoying her old age.

Old children, old children, are just children who need to be coaxed.

"I don't think it's necessary." The queen also said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, Queen, you are in your prime, so wearing something bright and beautiful is the most suitable!"

That day, Chu Ji, who was beside the Third Lady, brought the Fairy Cloud Satin over to give to Cong Shuang. To Yue Shu's surprise, Chu Ji waved at her, pulled her aside, and said:
"Look, these two are specially given to you by the Third Lady. You should make a few sets for yourself."

Yue Shu looked at such fine satin, shook her head embarrassedly, and said:
"Sister Chuji, this is too precious!"

"Don't be afraid, just think of it as me, your elder sister, taking care of you."

"Besides, this satin also has other maids, but I specially selected the pattern and gave it to you secretly. Silly girl, just keep it!"

Chu Ji looked at Yue Shu, who was sensible and reasonable, and thought of Yu Lu in the Third Prince's courtyard.

It’s so infuriating to compare people to each other!
"Thank you, Third Lady, and thank you, sister, for thinking of me like this."

Yue Shu looked at the bright and beautiful satin, and knew at a glance that it was especially suitable for children to wear. She felt a little worried, so she took the satin and told Cong Shuang about it. Cong Shuang didn't take it seriously.

"Just take it if I give it to you. It's not a big deal. Just serve the old lady well."

Yue Shu also understood a little bit in her heart.

When the Third Lady married in, her dowry was only a hair's breadth away from that of the Queen and the Second Lady, Mrs. Hu.

In other words, she didn't want to have conflicts with her sisters-in-law. Otherwise, with the power of Fairy Caiyue, the leader of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, she would probably be able to capture the Demon Prince outside the void and make him into a magic weapon as a dowry.

Of course, only the Third Lady herself knew how much Fairy Caiyue gave secretly.

Although the Third Queen Mother respects the elderly and loves the young, how would the Second Queen Mother feel if the loud gongs and drums were used to reward the palace maids around the old lady?
If the Second Lady's dowry is not generous enough and cannot compare to the Third Lady's, won't she be laughed at by others?
But if the Second Empress tries to brag and responds sharply, wouldn't that create a competitive spirit? Then how should the sisters-in-law deal with their reputation and way of getting along with each other?
Yueshu kept the satin and made a sachet for Tinghe, but she saw Zijuan when she passed by.

She was carrying boxes of luggage. She was also a top-notch girl and some of the materials she wore were very beautiful.

However, Zijuan's sister Shaoyao, who was standing next to her, saw her passing by and rolled her eyes at her.

Yue Shu also secretly raised her middle finger, but Shaoyao just looked confused and didn't understand her behavior.

Yue Shu whispered to Ting He,
"Is she going to Yu Lu's place?"

In fact, judging from the Third Lady's temperament, it is obvious that she is not a simple person.

If Zijuan goes to serve Yu Lu now, it would probably be even more painful than it is now.

"Yes, look at how happy she is. She used to be a second-class maid!"

Yue Shu saw Zijuan still showing off to those envious palace maids, saying how much the Third Prince doted on Yu Lu, and that she had been Yu Lu's confidante in the past.
