Zhou Ying turned around and frowned when she saw Consort Shu, Zhou Jiaying, and Zhou Jiaqing.

However, the three of them still quickly stepped forward and bowed. “Greetings, Consort Shu.”

Zhou Ying and Gu Wanning also greeted Zhou Jiaying.

“Do get up. What were you guys talking about just now?” Consort Shu helped them up and asked with a smile.

“It’s nothing much. We were mainly talking about the rabbit lantern and then about the fireworks in Sister Zhou’s hometown.” Mingyu replied.

“I’ve heard King Kang mention the fireworks over there before; they’re indeed one of a kind.” Consort Shu nodded.

“I heard that Mingyu has already started training female soldiers. How are the results?”

“It’s still too short for results, and they are still practicing the horse stance. I’m afraid it’ll take a year and a half to see any effect.”

“That’s true. Sorry, I was just too impatient.” Consort Shu nodded and asked Zhou Ying, “I heard that the greenhouse was successful. I wonder what vegetables are being harvested this time?”

“Well, other than the leafy vegetables we harvested previously, there are also cucumbers, beans, tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, pumpkins, carrots, and so on.”

“Good. There are both thick and thin vegetables. Looks like we’re going to have a good meal tonight.”

Zhou Ying smiled and did not reply.

“You guys go ahead and stroll around. Shall we go and see the other lanterns?” Ming Yu asked.

“Go ahead. There’s a lotus lantern over there that’s very well made. You can go over and take a look.” After Consort Shu finished speaking, she pointed to the left.

“Thank you for your guidance, Consort Shu.” After Mingyu finished speaking, she immediately led the two of them away.

After they left, Consort Shu turned her head to look at Zhou Ying’s back and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect that pitiful girl back then would turn out this well. Ping Yang sure has a good eye.”

The two sisters felt uncomfortable after hearing this.

What did Consort Shu mean by ‘pitiful’? Was she implying that the Zhou family abused Zhou Ying?

If it weren’t for her status, Zhou Jiaying would’ve retorted.

Zhou Jiaqing muttered indignantly, “What’s the use of a concubine’s daughter who has no one to rely on, no matter how good she looks?”

Consort Shu glanced at her after hearing this and was too lazy to pay attention to her.

She turned her head to look at Zhou Jiaying. Seeing that she was submissive and didn’t show any dissatisfaction, Consort Shu nodded.

No matter what Zhou Jiaying was thinking, it was fine as long as she did not show it or embarrass her son.

She stood up and was about to leave when a few girls walked over and bowed. “Greetings, Consort Shu.”

When Consort Shu saw the leading Hong Suzhi, she immediately smiled and said, “Hurry up and rise. Since we’ve met, let’s take a walk together.”

“Yes.” Hong Suzhi responded and followed.

Consort Shu looked at her and asked, “When did you enter the palace? Is your mother here?”

“We just arrived not long ago. Mother is still at the Empress Dowager’s place. We wanted to pay you a visit, and we didn’t expect to meet you here.”

“This is fate.” Consort Shu smiled.

Then, they chatted and laughed, completely isolating the Zhou sisters.

Hong Suzhi’s sisters also took the opportunity to squeeze the two sisters to the sidelines gradually.

But Zhou Jiaying didn’t dare to say anything.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiaqing was indignant and ran off to look for her friends.

Zhou Jiaying gritted her teeth in anger when she saw her adding insult to injury.

She could only step forward and say, “Imperial Mother, it’s been quite a while since we’ve come out. I have to go and take a look at the child, so please go without me.”

She hoped Consort Shu would give her some face for the sake of her child.

Unexpectedly, Consort Shu waved her hand and said, “Go, the child is still young. Don’t let her catch a cold..”
