Qian Ning followed behind Cui's and also entered King An's Mansion.

If the decoration of the Hou Mansion is mainly magnificent, then the palace is dignified and solemn.

From the front yard alone, you can see that there are only two rows of towering trees planted at both ends of the road, and there are no flowers or plants. In the cold autumn day, it is even more bleak.

The mother who led the way was also silent, and Cui Shi and the others did not dare to come out, which made the atmosphere even more depressing.

Qian Ning lowered her head, although she was full of curiosity about the palace, she didn't dare to raise her head to look around.

After walking for a while, I passed through the hall, but the mother who led the way still did not stop.

Qian Ning was a little surprised, it stands to reason that the guests are not all in the main hall? Why do you have to go to the backyard? raised her eyes and looked at Cui's again, only to see that her face was calm, without a trace of different colors, and Qian Ning had to continue to walk inside.

After walking about one or two hundred steps, a small courtyard appeared in front of me, and several maids stood at the door looking forward to it. Seeing Cui's group coming over, the maid in the orange vest greeted her, and said with a smile: "Madame is here, please come in quickly, it's cold outside." ”

Cui Shi nodded slightly, said "hard work", and followed into the courtyard.

Qian Ning walked behind, but she felt that there was a gaze looking at her, and when she looked up, it was the maid from Fang Cai, with an inquiring meaning in her eyes. Sensing that Qian Ning had come over, the maid withdrew her gaze and continued to lead the way.

Qian Ning frowned secretly, she thought that the palace was strict, and the subordinates should also be well-behaved, but she didn't expect this maid to be so presumptuous, looking at people directly, or the master who came to be a guest, it seems that Su Rili is also a favorite.

"Madame, sons, grandmothers, please come in." The yellow-clothed maid opened the curtain, and Cui Shi and the others rushed in.

When she arrived at Qianning, the maid glanced at Qianning a few times in a grand manner, and this time she couldn't help but look at it, and she was a little disdainful.

Qian Ning felt very uncomfortable, a little maid, even if she was born in the palace, she was also a subordinate, and she actually provoked herself again and again, which was too much. Qian Ning was no longer polite, and glared at the maid.

The maid looked down at her.

Only then did Qian Ning raise her head and walk in.

Zhao Luoyan followed behind, just watched this scene, and couldn't help but feel a little playful in his heart, it seems that Lu Qianning is not quiet and soft, and this temperament is only afraid that she is the real one......

When I entered the hall, I saw a middle-aged beautiful woman sitting on the main seat, holding a soup woman in her hand, and a charcoal stove was raised in front of the main seat.

Qian Ning said secretly, it's not yet the middle of winter, how can you use these heating items? Isn't the princess sick?

Sure enough, I heard Princess An say: "I am weak and can't stand the cold the most, so I raised the charcoal fire early, and I hope that Mrs. Hou will be more considerate." ”

Cui Shi smiled and said: "Where is it, I came from outside, it was the cold that hit people, and with the stove for heating, it was too late to be happy, how could I be strange." ”

Princess An also smiled, and there was a weak flow between her eyebrows, which made people unable to take their eyes off: "When Mrs. Hou said this, I was relieved." As he spoke, he looked at Lian Chengmei and Qianning again, with a look of appreciation in his eyes, and said, "These are the two daughters-in-law newly married by the Hou Mansion, right?" Look at the good children who are like flowers and jade, dignified and generous. It's a pity that I was not in good health and couldn't go to the family affairs in the house. It's just right to come today, so I made up for the meeting gift. ”

Cui Shi hurriedly said: "That's not possible, today we are here to thank the palace." How can you still take the princess's courtesy......"

Princess An waved her hand and said, "One thing is one thing." It's hard for me to go out on a daily basis, and I don't see many juniors. It's rare to see two beautiful children as flowers at one time, how can you not give a gift. ”

Cui's wanted to shirk again, but was stopped by Princess An: "Madam, don't be polite to me, if you are polite, you will be divided." ”

Cui's trip was to have a good relationship with the palace, and Princess An insisted on giving face to her two daughters-in-law, but of course Cui's would not really shirk it, so she acquiesced.

With Cui's approval, Qian Ning and Lian Chengmei consciously walked in front of Princess An.

Princess An looked at the two of them carefully, then took Qian Ning's hand with a smile, and said softly: "This must be the girl of the Lu family, the current grandmother of the Hou Mansion." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Qian Ning's eyes, how could Princess An recognize herself? But he also replied politely: "Back to the princess's words, the courtiers are the grandmother of the Hou Mansion, the Lu family." ”

Princess An nodded: "The person is beautiful, the voice is sweeter, it is really cute." He turned his head again and said to the maid behind him, "Xiaoqin, bring the prepared gifts." ”

Xiaoqin came out with a tray, Princess An took the object on it and put it in Qianning's hand: "Good boy, this is my gift to you, you can keep it." ”

Qian Ning looked down and saw that it was actually a ruby embellished with gold on the bottom of the head, the ruby was dazzling, and the pure gold base was also golden, and it was worth a lot of money at a glance, but these two things were so simply put together, it was a little cheesy, it was a pity.

Princess An noticed that Qianning was distracted and said, "You don't like this face? ”

Qian Ning was shocked, she was too lax, and she began to imagine the transformation of this head in front of the princess. So he picked up his face and replied with a smile: "The gift given by the lady is too expensive, and the courtiers are flattered, and they can't react for a while." ”

Princess An was a little funny in her heart, this Lu family child is really sincere, even if he sees something good, he has lost his temper, shouldn't he find a reason to cover it up? She generously admits that she is lonely and unheard, which is really funny.

And Cui, who has been paying attention to Princess An's actions, also felt that what Qianning said was inappropriate, and hurriedly apologized: "My daughter-in-law is a little unsteady in her speech and behavior, and I ask the princess to forgive me." ”

Princess An didn't care: "Madame's words are serious." Although this head is an ordinary style, the gem on it is a tribute from the neighboring country Dayan, which is larger and purer than the gems on the market. ”

When Cui Shi heard that this face was so valuable, he was even more sincerely afraid: "Princess, this face is too precious, I'm afraid that Qian Ning can't afford it." Please also ask the princess to take it back. ”

Qianning was also blessed, and shirked the situation, but was held by Princess An: "A good horse with a good saddle, and a good ornament has to be worn by a young woman, I am old, and it is not suitable to wear it, it is a pity to put it, it is better to give it to the right person, so as not to waste such a good face." Do you say yes? Madam? ”

Cui Shi didn't expect Princess An to be so loving, and he couldn't believe it, but he also knew that he couldn't shirk it anymore, so he had to say: "Then thank you princess." ”

After giving Qianning, it was Lian Chengmei's turn.

Originally, Princess An gave Qianning a gift first, but Lian Chengmei was already dissatisfied in her heart, and seeing that Qianning had received such a valuable gift, she was eager to try it and waited for Princess An to summon her.

Princess An still kept a smile, and pulled Lian Chengmei to say a few words, which was nothing more than praising her for having both ability and political integrity, being virtuous and virtuous, and giving her a gift of the head, but compared to Qianning's head, a few big opals were added. The value will naturally be above the head of Qianning. For the identity of Mrs. Lian Chengmei, it is more than enough.

Lian Chengmei received such a heavy gift, and she was overjoyed and thanked again and again.

And the most excited is Cui's, originally worried that this time will not be taken seriously by the Royal Palace, especially at the beginning, the mother who led the way did not bring herself to the main hall of the front yard, but detoured to the backyard, I couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, I didn't think about it, my thank you gift has not been sent out, Princess An gave her daughter-in-law such a valuable meeting gift, and the friendship is obvious. So he took the hot railway: "Two days ago, when we got married in our house, we met a scoundrel on the road, but fortunately the second young master of the palace helped to receive the marriage smoothly." This time, I specially brought my dog and two daughters-in-law to thank the palace. ”

After speaking, he motioned to the servant to offer the thank you gift, and Zhao Luoyan stepped forward to thank him.

Princess An ordered someone to accept the thank-you gift, and then looked at Zhao Luoyan standing in the middle of the hall, and praised her head: "I still met Shizi many years ago. Now that they have grown up, married and started a family, time flies really fast......"

Cui Shi also sighed: "That's not it, Niangniang's jade body is not safe, and I don't dare to bring the children to disturb me, I really haven't seen it for many years." ”

"The two sisters didn't see each other often, and the children were separated from each other. In the future, you can move around more, otherwise the relationship between the two governments will fade. Princess An thought for a while, and then said: "Xiao Ye, you go and call the second young master, just say that I have a distinguished guest, let him come over to ask for peace." ”

"Yes." A crisp voice sounded, and Qian Ning looked up to see that it was the yellow-clothed maid who had just provoked.
