Chapter 94: The Ceremony of the Birth of a Young Wife

Meixiang looked at Mrs. Zhao's back as she walked away. After making sure that there was no one around, she lowered her voice and asked Chu Caiwei, "Princess, do you think Miss Li will come to rescue you?" There was a hint of worry in her eyes.

Chu Caiwei raised her eyelids slightly, but her eyes were still downcast, and she answered in an almost inaudible voice: "No matter what, I am her cousin after all. And the queen mother has always been very caring and protective of her. It is reasonable for her to come and rescue me..."

Mei Xiang bit her lip and quietly stepped aside. She thought to herself that the relationship between the princess and Li Jingshu was not harmonious in the past, and they often argued with each other. I hope that this time Li Jingshu can think of family affection and the kindness of the queen in the past, and inform the queen and the prince as soon as possible to save the princess from danger.

When Mrs. Zhao arrived at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she said to the servant at the door respectfully, "Young man, please tell me that I am Mrs. Zhao, a servant of the Zhang family of the Minister of Justice. Today, I am here on the orders of the Eighth Princess to present the coming-of-age gift to the eldest daughter."

After hearing this, the doorman first looked Mrs. Zhao up and down, and then slowly said: "I see, please wait here for a moment, and I will go in and report." After that, he turned and walked towards the mansion.

After entering the back house, the doorman searched all the way and finally found Li Jingshu's personal maid Bing'er. He quickly stepped forward, bowed and said, "Sister Bing'er, there is a woman named Zhao from the residence of the Minister of Justice Zhang outside the door. She said that she was entrusted by the eighth princess to come and give the eldest lady a coming-of-age gift."

When Bing'er heard this, her beautiful brows slightly frowned and she looked displeased: "The Eighth Princess? Humph, that crazy person actually has the nerve to give a gift to our young lady? What bad luck! Well, you wait here first, I will go and tell the young lady about this." After saying that, Bing'er left in a hurry.

Bing'er walked into the room cautiously and reported to Li Jingshu respectfully: "Miss, a woman named Zhao came over just now and said that the Eighth Princess came specially to present the coming-of-age gift."

At this moment, Shuang'er was concentrating on helping Li Jingshu choose exquisite jewelry. After hearing what Bing'er said, she stopped what she was doing and said with disdain: "What Eighth Princess? She is just a crazy woman! Miss, you must not have anything to do with such a person! After all, you are the future Crown Princess!"

Li Jingshu stared at herself in the mirror silently, her stunning face reflected in it. She smiled slightly, her tone calm as water: "That being said, no matter what, she is my cousin after all, and the Crown Prince's biological sister. If I refuse her gift, and the Crown Prince knows about it in the future, I'm afraid he will blame me! How about this, send someone to invite her to the front hall, and we will go to meet her together."

Mrs. Zhao was standing in the spacious, bright and luxuriously decorated front hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion at the moment, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous and cramped. She clenched her fists tightly, trembling slightly, and rubbed them vigorously from time to time, as if trying to relieve her inner anxiety.

At this moment, a clever little maid walked into the hall, carefully holding an exquisite tray in her hand, on which were placed steaming hot tea and several carefully made snacks. The little maid came to Mrs. Zhao and said softly, "Mammy, you have worked hard on the way. Please take a rest, drink a cup of tea, and taste the snacks of our Prime Minister's Mansion. The young lady will come to see you later."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao hesitated for a moment, then slowly sat down. Although she was still feeling anxious, she nodded politely to express her gratitude for the warm hospitality. However, when Mrs. Zhao picked up a piece of dessert and hadn't tasted it for a few bites, she suddenly heard a slight noise. It turned out that Li Jingshu walked in with two personal maids.

This sudden change startled Mrs. Zhao, and her hands trembled, and she almost dropped the remaining half of the dessert on the ground. She hurriedly put down the dessert and wiped the corner of her mouth, but she didn't expect that she was too hasty and rubbed some of the dessert residue on her chin. What's worse, because she was too panicked, the food she had just swallowed got stuck in her throat, causing her to cough non-stop and her face turned red.

Seeing this, Li Jingshu hurried forward, gently patted Mrs. Zhao on the back to help her calm down, and anxiously instructed Bing'er beside her: "Go get some tea for Madam Zhao to moisten her throat!" Bing'er then handed Mrs. Zhao a cup of fragrant tea at just the right temperature.

Mrs. Zhao took a deep breath, picked up the teacup and gulped down the hot tea. The hot tea made her cough violently, but she finally came to her senses. She looked at the person in front of her with gratitude, her voice trembling a little: "Miss Li is really kind-hearted! No wonder everyone in Shangjing City praises Miss Li for not only her beautiful appearance, but also her kind heart! I, an old woman, have received Miss Li's kindness today, and I really don't know how to repay this kindness!"

Li Jingshu smiled slightly, as beautiful as a blooming spring flower. Her voice was gentle and melodious, like the sound of nature: "Mammy, are you here this time at my sister's request to give me the gift of coming of age?"

Mrs. Zhao nodded repeatedly, then carefully took out a jade pendant from her bosom, held it in both hands, and respectfully handed it to Li Jingshu: "That's right! The Eighth Princess's condition has become more serious recently, and she often falls into a coma. But when she occasionally wakes up, she is still thinking about your coming of age, so she specially asked this old servant to hand over this jade pendant to you as a gift."

As soon as Li Jingshu saw the jade pendant, she immediately understood: Chu Caiwei must have encountered trouble, otherwise she would not contact her in this way. She gently lifted the jade pendant and looked at it carefully in the sunlight, only to see two small words faintly emerging from the jade pendant - Save me!

Seeing this, Li Jingshu couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Save you? What a fantasy! However, she remained calm on the surface. She handed the jade pendant to Bing'er beside her, then turned around and told Shuang'er: "Go get some silver to reward Mammy, thank her for making this special trip."

She looked at Mrs. Zhao again and said softly: "Mammy, go back and tell the Eighth Princess later that she and I are like sisters and I am very grateful that she remembered my coming-of-age ceremony. However, the lotus pastry in this palace is not something that anyone can taste casually!" Li Jingshu deliberately emphasized the last sentence, and the deep meaning behind it was self-evident.

Mrs. Zhao took the heavy silver ingots from Shuang'er's hand with a smile on her face, and she was secretly delighted. She kowtowed to Li Jingshu to express her gratitude, and kept muttering: "Miss Li, oh no! I should call you the Crown Princess! You are such a kind person! You rewarded me for such a small thing. I am very grateful, and I will do my best to complete the tasks you asked me to do in the future!"

Facing Mrs. Zhao's flattery, Li Jingshu just smiled slightly, behaving very dignified and elegant. However, deep in her seemingly gentle eyes, a hint of disdain flashed across her face. It was as if this fawning Mrs. Zhao made her feel a little unhappy, but she couldn't show it directly.
