Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Birthday Banquet
Yan respectfully sent Zhou Huaiyu and the third princess out of the courtyard, turned around and pulled a face, as if someone owed her tens of thousands of taels of silver, "Go, send someone to entertain the third princess well, among the guests who came today, all of them are no more noble than the third princess, so everything must be based on the third princess."

"Yes. Mother Zheng immediately took someone down and went to serve the third princess.
"Let the other people come over!" In order to receive the third princess, Yan specially ordered people to stop other people who came to visit, and now that the third princess has settled down, she is in the mood to meet other people.
-
Zhou Huaiyu and the third princess had just walked a few steps out of the door when they saw Mother Zheng with someone following them.
Before Zhou Huaiyu could speak, the third princess had already stopped and said impatiently: "What are you going to do with us, what should you do!"
Mother Zheng immediately knelt down in fear, "Please forgive the princess, the slave knows her mistakes." ”
Mother Zheng, who was kneeling, didn't see it, but Zhou Huaiyu could see it clearly, although the third princess had anger in her tone, her face and eyes were very flat. However, it is this blandness that makes Zhou Huaiyu feel more dangerous.
Although the first powerful person she came into contact with was Zhao Jing, Zhao Jing was a man, they didn't have any chance to get along at all, and the only opportunity was in the abbot's Zen courtyard, where there was no distinction between them and between them, they were all like ordinary people, talking about Buddhism and life insights.
However, since she came into contact with the third princess, she can feel the feudal hierarchy of this era from the words and deeds of the third princess, although most of the time the third princess does not show it to her, but when she faces other people, she will always carry this "innate dignity".
She must be impatient for Mother Zheng to follow her at this time, so she spoke to her in an impatient tone, but she spoke without the slightest emotion on her face, which means that she doesn't put Mother Zheng in her eyes at all, and when you don't put a person in your eyes and heart, what she does can't affect you at all.
Big deal, cure her!
The third princess must have thought so in her heart!
She has never regarded the third princess who grew up alone as a doll in an ivory tower, so she is more sensitive to what she thinks.
"Mother Zheng, the third princess didn't want to punish you, what are you doing like this, don't follow us. ”
Although Zheng's mother is Yan's person and is quite disrespectful to her, seeing that Zheng's mother is so frightened that she is about to collapse on the ground at this moment, Zhou Huaiyu still feels quite uncomfortable in her heart, so she interrupted her and continued to kowtow and beg for mercy.
The third princess glanced at Zhou Huaiyu with a smile, and then softened her tone: "Yes, I didn't think about curing your crimes, look at you scared, you were so arrogant on the mountain at that time, didn't you give the head of Wu'an Hou Mansion a face?"
When Zheng's mother heard this, she was worried that the third princess would mention this stubble, but now she couldn't get up directly on the ground.
Zhou Huaiyu smiled. She just guessed that Mother Zheng was acting like this, whether she had already recognized that the little maid behind her was the third princess on the mountain that day. Now it seems that he must have recognized it, which is why he is so afraid. But I think that the third princess won't worry too much about her, or that sentence, the third princess didn't take Zheng's mother in her eyes at all.
"Okay, those who don't know are not guilty, and you didn't know that day, so I won't punish you severely, but you can't run away with a small punishment. You don't have to follow us anymore, do you see that rockery? Go, climb me up and down forty-six times, and you will be regarded as praying for your old lady!"
As soon as the third princess exited, Mother Zheng immediately knelt down and kowtowed in surprise, as if she had taken advantage of it, but Zhou Huaiyu couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth.
Although the rockery is not high, it takes fifty or sixty steps to go up and down, and forty-six times to run, even the prime of life is tired enough, not to mention Zheng's mother, who has followed Yan's "pampering" for most of her life.
I'm afraid that after today, I won't be able to see Zheng's mother for a long time.
The third princess looked at Zhou Huaiyu and smiled, she knew that she had understood what she meant, and she couldn't help but have a kind of joy in her heart, and then happily took Zhou Huaiyu's little fat hand and continued to walk around the garden.

After Yan received a few people, someone came to report that the third princess had prayed for her blessing from the rockery that Zheng's mother had climbed forty-six times with her.
Of course, the person who came to report was how good the words sounded and how to say them, so Yan immediately understood that the third princess didn't want people to follow her, so she didn't continue to send people, and the third princess said that letting Zheng's mother climb the mountain was to pray for her, she was so happy that she immediately sent someone to keep an eye on Zheng's mother to ensure that she could complete the task with quality and quantity.
As soon as he gave the order, before the words fell, he saw someone running in a panic, "Old lady, the third master asked me to tell you that Guo Hongye, the son of the Guo family, came to pay homage to your old man's birthday!"
When Yan heard this, he didn't react at the first time, and asked aloud: "Guo family, which Guo family?"
"It's An Guogong's Guo family!"
