Chapter 570: Chapter 569 Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful!_1

"Mrs. Jun, you are too polite." Old Mrs. Liu’s eyes were sharp as knives, and she smiled reluctantly: "As the saying goes, even the emperor has a few poor relatives, let alone a large family? Furthermore, our Mrs. Qin is one of the most virtuous ladies. Since she came to Shengjing from the countryside, she has been transformed by the aura of this capital city, so she no longer allows people to see her casually. Not to mention others..."

The people nearby listened to her talking more and more nonsense, and they all became angry.

Young Mrs. Liu was so embarrassed that she almost buried her head in her chest.

Since today is the day they were guests at the Qin Family’s Mansion, and it was a day of celebration, it would not be appropriate to speak ill of others and spoil the festive atmosphere, so they all secretly laughed inwardly.

Those with discernment couldn’t help but lament that Old Mrs. Liu had lived so many years in vain, and her words were full of the feeling of a frog in a well, arrogant and self-conceited.

It has been several hundred years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The so-called Eight Great Aristocratic Families of the capital city are interconnected in a complex intertwined web of relationships. If any one of them does not act carefully, it could endanger the current dynasty.

How could His Majesty allow others to sleep soundly by his bed?

Naturally, the Eight Great Aristocratic Families were regarded as a thorn in the eye and thorn in the flesh by His Majesty.

In the past, His Majesty had taken advantage of the rebellion of the previous crown prince and later the internal strife between the two princes to crackdown on ministers who pose a threat, either by killing them or demoting them, and their family properties were also either confiscated or sold off.

Among these ministers, many were nurtured by the Eight Great Aristocrats or closely related to them. The confiscated wealth also included a lot of wealth secretly controlled by the Eight Great Aristocrats. As a result, the Eight Great Aristocrats were more or less affected, and some even had their fortunes wiped out overnight.

The remaining few families that still had strength were like frightened birds, hiding their sharp edges and simply seeking to survive wisely.

The Liu family, which has existed since the founding of the nation, could not escape either. Old Marquis Liu had his real authority taken away and was left with an empty title. The Liu family had become weak on the inside, and yet, the wife of the Marquis dared to speak out loudly here and wanted to take the opportunity to insult others!

She should look at what time it is and evaluate her own behavior...

The people present were mostly from the aristocratic families and had some understanding of the situation in the capital city and His Majesty’s attitude. Seeing the look on Old Mrs. Liu’s face, they unconsciously showed a hint of scorn.

Su Pan’er, having understood the ups and downs of the capital city, found this quite amusing after getting a general idea of the situation.

Her eyebrows and eyes were like a crescent moon, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised with a hint of sarcasm. She held a cup of jasmine tea in her hand casually, looking but not drinking.

When she didn’t speak, the hall fell silent.

For a while, the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Old Mrs. Hua on the side saw everything clearly. She sighed secretly in her heart and started making small talk with a smile to break the awkward silence.

"I heard that when this mansion was first built, it was quite costly. Furthermore, I heard that there is a pavilion in the middle of a lake, the Huxin Pavilion, which is famous in the capital city! Not only is it ingeniously constructed, but it also offers a panoramic view of the entire capital city. I wonder if that is true or false. Why don’t we walk there? It will be a good way to digest our meal!"

Old Mrs. Hua is Imperial Consort Hua’s mother, so her words naturally carry weight.

When she spoke up, everyone agreed, including Old Mrs. Liu, who had to save face.

Su Pan’er had also heard of the Huxin Pavilion. The last time she came, she was more focused on the overall architecture of the mansion and did not have time to appreciate the scenery inside. Upon hearing Old Mrs. Hua’s suggestion, she naturally became interested.

Everyone rose from their seats and headed toward the Huxin Pavilion in a grand manner.

The Huxin Pavilion is neither large nor small, with red columns, pink walls, and green tiles. It is a four-story structure with high eaves, like a lark about to fly. The surrounding screens were made of hollow carved flowers from redwood, filled with five-colored paint depicting lucky cloud patterns and large clusters of colorful peonies, which looked unusually luxurious.

Only after entering, they found that there was a totally different world inside.

The entire Huxin Pavilion was divided into several rooms on the left and right, with a hallway in the middle. On the side, there was also a flower stage built on the veranda. The doors and windows were all decorated with five-colored enamels, depicting flowers and plants, birds and beasts, "Five Bats Presenting Longevity", and other decorations like "Five Scholars". The entire Huxin Pavilion was sumptuously decorated, showing a great deal of ingenuity, and whether it was the materials used or the decorations, each one was a rare top-of-the-line item!

Even though the people present were from the top aristocratic families and had seen many things, they couldn’t help but marvel at what they saw, expressing their surprise.

Su Pan’er’s reaction was no different from theirs.

This was her first step inside, and she was also astonished by the interior decorations.

After having lived two lives, she had seen plenty of furnishings, whether in the old palace or the so-called antiques in those museums. Still, she was taken aback by the luxurious decorations before her eyes, and then she furrowed her brows.

It’s a bit too ostentatious!

"The Huxin Pavilion really lives up to its name. Living here, in the summer you can pull up the screens and lower the curtains, and enjoy the view while being cooled by the wind. In the winter, you can lower the screens, pull the curtains and set up a good stove. It would truly be carefree to play around, enjoy the distant view, and admire the scenery!" Old Mrs. Hua exclaimed.

Su Pan’er smiled, bowed slightly to Old Mrs. Hua.

"Thank you for giving the Huxin Pavilion such a wonderful name!"

Everyone paused for a moment.

Then they remembered the phrase "It is truly carefree" that Old Mrs. Hua had said, and they all started laughing.

Old Mrs. Hua seemed to be very fond of Su Pan’er, her smile was especially gentle and kindly. She stepped forward, took Su Pan’er’s hand, and examined her face closely.

Su Pan’er lowered her head, allowing her to inspect without saying a word.

A shadow of satisfaction passed over Old Mrs. Hua’s eyes. She slipped a green jade bracelet off her wrist, flicked her hand, and the bracelet landed on Su Pan’er’s wrist. She patted gently, her face full of smiles.

"It’s rare to meet such a likable girl who understands the thoughts of an old woman like me. Wonderful! It’s so wonderful!"

This was a reward from Old Mrs. Hua.

Su Pan’er’s eyes sparkled, and she took the opportunity to give thanks: "Thank you, Old Mrs. Hua, for your kindness. I feel ashamed!"

"You child, why still call me Old Mrs. Hua? Don’t you want to acknowledge me as your grandmother after acknowledging your aunt?"

Nurturing affection filled Old Mrs. Hua’s eyes, although her tone was a bit reproachful.

Everyone who heard this was taken aback at first, then showed a look of sudden realization.

Ahh!

Su Pan’er was also taken aback. After pondering for a moment, she finally realized that Old Mrs. Hua was Imperial Consort Hua’s biological mother, and therefore Young Mrs. Liu’s mother as well, which naturally made her Su Pan’er’s grandmother. No wonder she was so protective of her during the feast.

She was so busy that she had completely forgotten this fact.

Young Mrs. Liu tearfully signaled Su Pan’er to acknowledge Old Mrs. Hua: "Jie’er, pay respect to your grandmother!"
