When Yan Xiruo returned to Yanfu, it was already dark, and as soon as he got out of the car, he met Mama Lin, who came to greet him.

Mama Lin's originally worried eyes turned into surprise the moment she saw Yan Xiruo, and she stepped forward to stand behind her in a few steps, and her tone was worried: "Why did Miss go for so long to come back, Prime Minister Yan has been here for a while." ”

"I was temporarily summoned by the queen's mother, and I chatted with my mother for a while, but it was late, didn't my uncle say it?" Regarding Mama Lin's worries, Yan Xiruo just smiled.

"Yes, but I'm still not at ease, after all, the palace is too complicated place."

Yan Xiruo looked back at her slightly and smiled: "It's not just that the palace is a complicated place, where is it not complicated in this world." ”

"By the way, is Grandma resting?" As if remembering something, Yan Xiruo's footsteps stopped at the door of the mansion and asked softly.

"Not yet, the old lady said she would wait for you, and she is in the hall at the moment."

"Then let's go over, don't make grandma wait long." As soon as he turned his steps, he walked towards the hall.

Before I got to the hall, I heard different voices inside, presumably there must be a lot of people, and it is estimated that the whole family is almost there.

When Yan Xiruo entered the palace today, he seemed to hear a maid say in advance that the eldest young master was coming back today, so it should be a while at this time, right?

"Grandma, I'm back." Yan Xiruo had just stepped into the hall, and the hall was quiet all of a sudden, and she could even feel that many eyes were on her, both familiar and unfamiliar, but she didn't care, but walked slowly in front of Old Madam Yan, looking meek and greeting.

"Come back, come and sit next to grandma, we were still talking about you." Old Madam Yan took Yan Xiruo's hand and asked her to sit down beside her.

"I haven't seen the seventh sister for ten years, and it's really changed a lot." As soon as I sat down, a deep and nice voice came from the other side of my grandmother.

Yan Xiruo tilted his head slightly, just facing the smiling face of the person opposite.

The man's face is handsome, his appearance is also gentle, and he is dressed in green clothes, which has the demeanor of a person in the rivers and lakes, but also has a scholarly atmosphere.

"It turned out that the eldest brother came back, please forgive Xiruo for the rude just now, Xiruo was so busy asking grandma to say goodbye, he ignored the eldest brother, and I hope that the eldest brother will not care." The faces that can appear at this time are still by the side of Old Madam Yan, and there will be no one else except Yan Ruijing, the eldest young master of the Yan Mansion.

"I was the seventh sister who was abrupt, how could I blame the seventh sister." Yan Ruijing's gaze has been staying on Yan Xiruo's body, although it is not blatant, but it also makes people feel uncomfortable, especially the meaning of inquiry in her eyes is too obvious, which makes her even more uncomfortable.

"Where is the big brother, if the tide is wrong."

"Okay, you two brothers and sisters, don't be who is who is not, listen to grandma is about to fall asleep." Old Madam Yan held one in one hand and interrupted them, to let them continue like this, they were all ready to go back to wash and sleep.

"What grandma said is that Ruijing hasn't seen the seventh sister for too many years, and when we meet again, the former little girl has become the big girl now, Ruijing is really surprised."

"Grandma is in the hall with everyone today, but what's the matter?" Yan Xi shifted the original topic without revealing a trace.

"Oh, look at me, I forgot all about business by the two of you." Old Madam Yan patted her forehead, and then remembered what was going on: "Today, I heard from your uncle that the emperor asked you to attend a banquet in a few days, and I heard that it was a foreign envoy?" ”

Yan Xiruo glanced at the eldest uncle next to him and smiled: "The emperor invited the eldest uncle, and I happened to be there, so I was touched by the light of the eldest uncle." ”

Although Yan Ruijing was not looking at her, he was listening to her every word very seriously in his ears, Yan Xiruo's every sentence was mellow without the slightest flaw, just like her person at the moment, she couldn't find the slightest flaw, Yan Ruijing frowned slightly, although he was away from home all the year round, he still got along with her for some time when he was a child, and she was arrogant and arrogant like a thorn in the head at that time, which was so gentle and pitiful as now.

"Xiruo's light is really good, even our house is stained with light." Before the prime minister himself could say anything, the second lady on the side couldn't sit still: "By the way, Xiruo, I just saw that the housekeeper received a few boxes of things to send to your yard, I heard that it was rewarded by the queen's mother, but this is also stained with the light of the eldest brother?" But how can it be yours? ”

The sourness in the second lady's words was obvious, so that Prime Minister Yan, who originally wanted to speak, didn't know what to say, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

"The queen mother is just a routine reward because I saved Lord Mo, if the second aunt likes it, then I will let the people in the courtyard send it to you later." Yan Xiruo didn't have any displeasure because of the second lady's words, and still had a gentle smile.

"That's the queen mother sent you, I don't dare to ask for it, Xiruo is really a good life, as soon as you come back to save the prince, not to mention, even the queen mother will reward you, in my opinion, our Yanfu is stained with your light this time." The second lady looked at Yan Xiruo with jealousy in her eyes, in terms of appearance, her Lan'er is recognized as the first beauty in the capital, and she also enters the palace from time to time, but why didn't she get such favor from the queen mother, the girl in front of her just came back, but she was lucky to save the stupid Mo prince, why can she get the reward of the queen mother.

Who doesn't know the famous eunuchs in the capital, the queen looks gentle and atmospheric, and the mother is the world, but she is also a light-hearted person, she has never seen her reward anyone or anything over the years, but just for the sake of Yanxi Ruo made an exception, how not to make people jealous.

"Okay, you can take it, the queen mother sent Xiruo things with the intention of the queen mother, what are you doing sourly?" Mrs. Yan was also a little unhappy by her daughter-in-law's words, really, her second son didn't know how to take care of it.

The old lady spoke, and the second lady didn't say anything, glared at Yan Xiruo fiercely, and stopped talking.

"Xiruo, the queen summoned you, did you say anything?" The queen mother is notoriously indifferent, although she has occupied the emperor's favor for many years, she has never had the heart to fight, and her heart is as calm as water as if she is not in the palace, and now she has personally summoned her granddaughter, how can she not be curious?

"Grandma, the queen mother is just a routine harem duty, and the emperor thanked me for saving Lord Mo, nothing else." Yan Xiruo's tone rose slightly, with a hint of coquettishness, soothing Mrs. Yan's worries.

"Okay, grandma doesn't ask, you're not too young, some things can be decided by yourself." Old Madam Yan stroked her hand, her face full of love.

"It's not a small thing, but I really remember it." The eldest lady sat next to her husband, suddenly opened her mouth, looked at Xiruo with a smile, and then looked at the old lady: "Didn't my mother still say a few days ago that she wanted to tell Xiruo about a family matter, just right, when I was chatting with Mrs. Lin today, I overheard her mention her son, who is in his early twenties, and looks very handsome, and I heard that he is still a young general, but he is a bit of a match with Xiruo." ”

The eldest lady has always been loving, so much so that it really seems to be good for Yanxiruo.

Yan Xiruo's face looked inconvenient, but her heart was cold, if she didn't know her eldest aunt, she would really be deceived by that face, and she would really think that she was for her own good.

Teenage general? It's just an idle kid who relies on his family background to earn an idle job, and it really makes her aunt say it as if it's really the same thing.

"Xiruo thanks the eldest aunt for her concern, so that the eldest aunt can remember it, and say that Xiruo must also be an upright and motivated son, but ......" raised his head slightly and looked at the person next to the eldest uncle, it was the eldest aunt's daughter, the sister who was two years older than herself, the fourth lady of the Yan Mansion - Yan Zixi.

The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he just glanced at the docile fourth sister, and then shifted his gaze to his eldest aunt, and his voice was more gentle: "It's just that there are still two sisters above Xiruo who are not allowed to be married, how can Xiruo allow others before the sisters, so, here, Xiruo can only live up to the kindness of the eldest aunt." ”

The smile on the corner of the eldest lady's mouth froze for a moment because of Yan Xiruo's words, and she almost couldn't hang up, and she knew that she was bored.

"Yan Xiruo, what do you mean by this, could it be that I and the fourth sister are preventing you from getting married?" Yan Ziyan already had a grudge against Yan Xiruo, she was extremely unpleasant, and she hurt her hand in the garden last time, and with the reward of the queen's mother, as soon as she heard her words, her anger became even heavier, and it didn't matter if she was in the hall or not, whether everyone was there, she was already arrogant and indulgent, and she began to say nothing.

Yan Ziyan's attitude was expected by Yan Xiruo, even better than expected, hiding the flash of light in her eyes, and still using the most peaceful voice: "Where did the sixth sister say, Xiruo blames the meaning of the two sisters, since ancient times, there has been a distinction between the elder and the young, the elder sister has not yet started a family, how can the younger sister get married before the elder sister, this is rude to the elder sister." Although Xiruo is said to be another family, he doesn't spend much time in the house, but Xiruo still has to abide by the rules of this Yanfu, after all, Xiruo's crown is the surname of Yanfu. ”

"Yan Xiruo, ...... you" Yan Ziyan was a little breathless and wanted to get up, but was stopped by the second lady on the side.

"Since Xiruo doesn't want to allow others, just treat it as if the eldest aunt didn't say it, but don't hurt the harmony between sisters for such a trivial matter." The eldest lady stood up, comforting Yan Ziyan, who was being held by the second lady, and said apologetically.

Of course, if the smile on her lips wasn't so stiff, it would be apologetic.

"Okay, you guys, but are you still here as my grandmother, in front of the old men of Yanfu? Zi Yan, you are really, why are you so unruly until now. Old Madam Yan's brows furrowed slightly. Then I remembered something: "But the eldest daughter-in-law is right, your three sisters are not young, and it is time for the Xu family, and after the emperor's feast is over, it will be the birthday of the eldest princess, and there should be many sons of the family at that time, and the three of you sisters will also go, see if you can see the smooth return and tell grandma, grandma will make decisions for you." ”

"Thank you, grandma." Now that the old lady has spoken, the people below don't dare to say anything more.

"That's it, everyone must be tired, Ruijing just came back, presumably he needs to rest more, everyone disperse, go to bed early, tomorrow, I will ask the housekeeper to call the tailor to make a few clothes for a few of you." The old lady said that she slowly stood up with the support of Yan Xiruo and Yan Ruijing, and slowly left with the support of the grandmother who had been waiting on the side.

"It's all gone." Prime Minister Yan, who had not spoken tonight, said the first sentence of the night, with tiredness in his tone.

"Then Xiruo will leave first, please rest early." Yan Xiruo also turned around and left after Prime Minister Yan left.

Ruijing's gaze was not retracted until Yan Xiruo's figure disappeared around the corner, and thinking of her performance tonight, he chuckled lowly.

"Ruijing, what makes you so happy." The eldest lady took her son's hand, a little puzzled.

"No, the son just remembered some interesting things in the past, the mother doesn't have to worry, there will be some time in the future when the son tells the mother, now, the son will send the mother back to rest first."

"Okay, it's still your filial piety."

Yan Ruijing followed behind his mother, and couldn't help but think of the gentle seventh sister again, and the words of the seemingly gentle woman were stinging.

It seems that his seventh sister is not a simple person, at least from her words, it can be clearly known that his seventh sister is a smart woman, and she is quite thoughtful, but it is very interesting.
