The Concubine Strikes Back: The Marquis Insists on Me to Be His Wife

Su Qing's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could she be going to look for Li Shang? That shouldn't be the case. The families and wives of the ministers were all with the queen. After the court session, the ministers would go to the other side where the emperor held a banquet. Meng Zhiyuan shouldn't go there. Besides, Su Jinqi should be there too. Maybe she was overthinking.

Just as Su Qing was still fantasizing, the emperor's voice rang out, "Today I want to be with the queen. Eunuch Li, go over there and call all the ministers over here. I don't want to go over there. Add another table."

Eunuch Li received the order and ran out quickly.

This emperor, is he too casual? The banquet has already started, and he is still making such a fuss. I am really impressed. Those delicious foods have not been eaten yet! Su Qing muttered quietly below.

"Madam Hou~Madam Hou~"

"Hmm?" The sound of stringed instruments was too loud, it seemed like someone was calling me?

"Madam Hou~~Here~~"

Su Qing turned slightly and looked over, only to see a strange woman sitting not far away. Since she had never attended such a banquet before, she was not familiar with the people present, and naturally had no idea of ​​the official rank of the woman's husband. At this moment, she couldn't help but think in her heart: How should I address this woman? If the other party's status is higher than her husband, it might be impolite if she is not polite; but if she guesses wrong rashly, it might cause displeasure... After thinking it over, Su Qing decided to smile and nod to show politeness.

However, just as she was about to turn her head back, she was surprised to see that woman standing up and walking towards her. In an instant, Su Qing felt a buzzing in her mind, and thought to herself: It's really what you fear! What should I do?

As the woman approached, Su Qing's heart beat faster and faster, but she still tried to maintain a calm smile on her face.

When the woman came to her side, "Madam Hou, I am General Xu's wife, Xu Shen. Madam Hou is honored."

Oh~~it turns out to be the General Xu that Jiang Weiyang always talked about. Now I know, he is not as high-ranking as Jiang Weiyang.

Su Qing then calmed down a little and said softly, "So you are General Xu's wife. I have heard of your name for a long time."

"No, no, I have long heard of Madam Hou's great name. I heard that Madam Hou is proficient in medical skills, so I want to ask Madam Hou something."

"Mrs. Xu, you are too kind. I only have a basic understanding of medicine. If you need any advice, you can come to me anytime after the banquet. If it is not convenient, you can also come to Jishitang to see me when you have time. If I am not here, Li Mu who is seeing the doctor can also be used. If all else fails, you can come directly to the Marquis' Mansion to see me."

"Is it really possible?" Xu Shenshi was so happy that she almost jumped up. Her originally round face was now smiling even more, and her eyes were almost narrowed into slits.

However, in stark contrast, Su Qing's face was full of confusion and puzzlement. How could this woman be so casual? Didn't she know that this was the imperial palace and the emperor and the queen were present? Such an action was really rash, it was simply a demon!

Seeing Xu Shenshi so excited, Su Qing couldn't help but secretly shook her head in her heart. She thought, this Marquis's wife must be a person with little brains. In such an occasion, she actually lost her composure like this, which was really laughable.

Xu Shenshi didn't seem to notice anything wrong with her behavior. She continued, "I'm sorry! Madam Hou, I was just too excited. In fact, I wanted to visit you a long time ago, but I was worried that it would be too rash, so I didn't send a message to visit you. I just happened to run into you today, so I asked by the way, when are you free? If it's not convenient, I can send a message to visit you when it's convenient."

"Then let's end the banquet and go to Jishitang together, okay?"

"Great, great. So we have a deal, then? After the party, let's go together."

"Okay, then Madam Xu, please go back for now. The Emperor is watching!"

Mrs. Xu nodded and went back.

Su Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked up and saw Meng Zhiyuan walking to her seat with tears in her eyes. She didn't know what happened, but then the ministers arrived, and Su Qing followed Jiang Weiyang and sat below the emperor, which made Su Wanrong look very embarrassed.

Originally, Su Wanrong wanted to take this opportunity to show off her status in the palace, but after the emperor's actions, she had no chance to show off.

Originally, Su Wanrong didn't have to move, but many ministers came, so Su Wanrong had to move.

Su Qing couldn't help laughing when she saw Su Wanrong's dark face, but the occasion did not allow it, otherwise she would have laughed out loud.
