Chapter 207 Let her sit at the same table with the servants
Han Nian'an walked into the mansion with a smile on his face and went straight to Qin.
"Mother." Han Nian bowed.
Zhou Yihong's favor during this period, as well as Qin's "tonics" used to "please" him, have made Han Nian'an proud and arrogant again.
She thought she had already won over Qin and Zhou Yihong. Han Nian'an no longer called her Madam, but called Qin mother again.
The ladies standing next to Qin naturally knew Han Nian'an, and when they heard this name, their faces turned ugly.
Qin had assured them that Han Nian'an had no status in the mansion and would never pose a threat to the legal wife in the future, so they were willing to continue to look at each other again.
But looking at the way she is dressed in silk and satin and has pearl hairpins on her head, she doesn't look like someone who is unfavored or has no status!
Moreover, a concubine not only called Qin mother, but also came to the wedding banquet at the Prince of Chu's Mansion in a swagger. Is this what Qin meant by having no status?
"Madam Qin, what's going on? You are attending a banquet at the Marquis' Mansion, and you want to bring a concubine with you?"
Qin was already very angry when she saw Han Nian'an. Now when she heard this dissatisfied question, she quickly said, "Of course there is no such rule."
As she spoke, she looked at Han Nian'an.
"Why are you here?"
"Mother, my husband said that he is busy today and has no time to attend the banquet. He is also worried that I will get bored in the mansion, so he asked me to come and have some fun." Han Nian'an raised her eyebrows and there was a hint of shyness in her tone, as if she was afraid that others didn't know how much Zhou Yihong doted on her.
"Go back immediately. This is the palace, not a place where you can mess around." Qin said with a cold face.
If Prince Chu and Princess Chu knew that Han Nian'an, a concubine, also came to the banquet, they would probably think that the Changning Marquisate was deliberately neglecting them.
If it were before, Han Nian'an would still be a little afraid to hear Qin's words, but in recent times, she seemed to be assisted by God. From horse betting to cockfighting, as long as she chose, she could help Zhou Yihong win money.
Zhou Yihong was originally just being dragged along for fun, but seeing that he was winning more and more, he seemed to have become addicted to it recently, and his attitude towards Han Nian'an became more and more flattering.
Han Nian'an is feeling very proud now, and even Qin Shi is not taken seriously anymore.
"Mother, I'm already here. Besides, Princess Chu and I are acquainted, so naturally I have to congratulate her."
Han Nian'an smiled complacently, and his arrogant attitude surprised the ladies. They all looked at Qin, waiting for her to scold Han Nian'an back harshly.
However, although Qin was very angry, she did not scold him directly.
"If you find it boring, just go for a walk on the street. There are many shops in the imperial city."
When these words were spoken, the ladies were stunned. After being surprised, their faces turned cold.
Qin couldn't bear to scold her for having an affair before marriage, which was a shameful joke that brought shame to the Marquis's Mansion. It seemed that Prince Zhou didn't know how to treat this concubine on a daily basis. I'm afraid he would definitely favor his concubine over his wife!
Jiang Suining looked at Qin's gloomy eyes, shook his head and chuckled in his heart.
It seems that Qin also believed in the theory of predicting the future. Even if she hated Han Nian'an, at least she did not intend to really break up with her on the surface.
Han Nian'an seemed not to feel the gazes of the crowd and Qin's awkward situation. Instead, his smile became even more intense.
"Mother, I'm tired of visiting those shops lately. The things my husband bought for me can hardly be put away in the yard. I'd better accompany you to the banquet."
Having said that, Han Nian'an walked forward and reached out to support Qin's arm.
Qin avoided him coldly.
Does Han Nian'an know that I was planning to meet you today and want to ruin it?
Damn it, it seems like I’ve been indulging this bitch too much lately.
But thinking about what Zhou Yihong had said recently, that Han Nian'an could always predict accurately, Qin didn't want to really fall out with Han Nian'an.
When the situation was at a stalemate, Princess Chu, who had received the news, arrived.
"I've met the princess."
The status of everyone present was not higher than that of the Princess of Chu, so when they saw someone coming, they hurriedly saluted.
"You're welcome. Thank you all for coming today." Princess Chu smiled and glanced at Han Nian'an calmly, then said to Qin, "Is this the concubine that Prince Zhou took in some time ago?"
"Yes, Princess."
Qin nodded awkwardly and was about to apologize, but the next moment, the Princess of Chu smiled and said.
"Since you are here, please stay in the mansion and have dinner."
Qin was stunned. The Princess of Chu actually wanted to keep Han Nian'an as a concubine?
The others listened and were equally surprised.
"My Lady Princess, I'm just a concubine. I'm afraid you don't have the qualifications."
"Yes, Princess, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
"It's okay. Today is a happy day. It's good to have more people to make it more lively."
As she spoke, the Princess of Chu turned to the two maids behind her.
"You guys take Aunt Han over there."
When Han Nian'an saw the Princess of Chu, he was nervous for a moment, but he didn't expect that she would be so easy to talk to, and he immediately smiled.
"Thank you, Princess!"
The others were watching, although they were unhappy, but since the Princess of Chu had spoken, they naturally couldn't say much. They just muttered to themselves in their hearts that Han Nian'an must not be assigned to the same table with them later, otherwise it would be really unlucky.
Perhaps he guessed what they were thinking from their expressions, and just as he was about to leave, he stopped again.
"Princess, why don't you let my mother, these ladies and I sit at the same table?"
As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Suining out of the corner of his eye and continued.
"Oh, and Miss Jiang. Although Miss Jiang's status is not worthy, it's lively today, so why not give her a chance and let her sit at the table with us and see the world."
Jiang Mushi, who was just watching the fun, suddenly turned grim when he heard these frivolous and sarcastic words.
He was about to retort, but Jiang Suining shook his head at him, then smiled and said to Han Nian'an.
"Aunt Han is thoughtful, but..." Jiang Suining shook his head, "This is inappropriate."
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. Just think of it as you getting lucky today." Han Nian'an sneered in his heart.
Everything has been going well for him recently. Even Jiang Suining has finally lowered his head and become more submissive in front of him!
"Miss Jiang is right. This is indeed inappropriate. It is against etiquette and status." Princess Chu said.
Han Nian'an almost laughed out loud. Jiang Suining had gone to great lengths to hook up with Chu Jingyue, and he originally thought that their relationship would be very good.
But now it seems that the Chu Palace still looks down on Jiang Suining!
Han Nian'an shook his head and looked at Jiang Suining with a look of regret, "Then there is nothing we can do, Miss Jiang, you can only blame yourself... for being born into the wrong family and not being able to enter a high-class family. There is nothing we can do about it."
"Aunt Han is mistaken. What I said is not in accordance with etiquette in terms of status..." Princess Chu paused, looked at Han Nian'an and said, "I was referring to you."
Han Nian'an's smile froze, "What do you mean, Princess?"
"What I mean is that today, a separate table is prepared for the maids in charge of the mansion, and Aunt Han can dine with them. But Madam Qin, the ladies, and Miss Jiang are all distinguished guests, so they naturally cannot dine with you."
