In the face of Jiang's sudden intimacy, Ye Qinglan naturally wanted to show flattery: "This is my grandmother's beloved thing, how dare my granddaughter ask for ......"

"Since I said it to you, you can take it." Jiang Shi gave a low command, and after a while, a maid came out with a brocade box.

The brocade box, about a foot square, was made of fine nanmu, carved with delicate dark patterns, and inlaid with precious stones. Not to mention the contents of the brocade box, just looking at the brocade box is also very delicate and expensive.

After the brocade box was opened, there was a thick piece of red satin inside, and on the shiny red satin, there was a piece of jade quietly. The jade was about the size of a palm, green and clear, as if there was water flowing in it. At first glance, it is not ordinary!

Such a jade is taken out to make a birthday gift, it must be in the limelight!

Ye Qinglan hurriedly thanked her: "Thank you, grandmother." "This piece of jadeite is of excellent color, and it is clearly a rare high-quality jadeite. The stingy Jiang was reluctant to take it out as a congratulatory gift to her.

Jiang Shi felt a little pain in his heart, but his face did not show it at all, and said with a smile: "What is there to thank for this." When you go to the Prince's Mansion to celebrate Concubine Shen's birthday, you can't be too stingy. Of course, she didn't plan to ask about such a "trivial matter" at all, so she decided to take out this piece of jade at the moment.

Ye Qinglan knew this, but she just didn't know, and squeezed out a grateful smile.

At this moment, Li walked in with a smile, followed by Ye Qingrou on his side.

Li swept his eyes and smiled slightly when he saw the piece of jade. When Jiang was chatting two days ago, he also said that he would make this piece of jadeite into jewelry and keep it for Ye Qingrou to add makeup. What is it going to do now?

Li suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked with a tentative smile: "Mother-in-law is really interested today." I actually took out this piece of jade to enjoy and play with. ”

As if he didn't understand the hint in her words, Jiang Shi smiled casually: "The steward of the Prince's Mansion just sent an invitation. Three days later is Concubine Shen's birthday, and Sister Lan is invited to be a guest. You can't go empty-handed. This piece of jade was kept for Sister Lan as a congratulatory gift. ”

Li's smile was not very natural: "Mother-in-law is really thoughtful. "What can't you do as a gift, you have to use this piece of jadeite? It is clear that the Jiang family saw that Ye Qinglan had climbed into a good family affair, and he intended to win her over to be so generous. With such a congratulatory gift, it is enough to make Ye Qinglan shine in the limelight!

Ye Qingrou saw that what should have belonged to her flew away like this, and she was also very unhappy, and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, you obviously said that you would leave this piece of jade to me, why did you give it to your tenth cousin in a blink of an eye?" ”

In front of Ye Qinglan, Jiang naturally made a full posture. smiled and reassured: "There are priorities, Sister Lan will go to the Prince's Mansion as a guest in three days, and it will not work without a decent gift." You are still a few months away from getting married, and it will be too late for your grandmother to prepare a dowry for you. ”

Ye Qingrou had no choice but to nod, and then glanced at Ye Qinglan. The eyes are a little unkind, and there is some jealousy.

Ye Qinglan looked back calmly. People insist on giving it, she can't do it!

Ye Qingrou pursed her lips and twisted her head to the side. Although Li's expression is not so obvious, his face is not good, and he can't see where he goes.

It's time to know. The jade is also in hand, and it is not interesting to stay and watch the cold eyes of others. Ye Qinglan simply got up and said goodbye. Of course, you will never forget to take that piece of jade with you when you leave.

In Ye Qingrou's jealous gaze, Ye Qinglan Shi Shi ran left.

Xue soon learned about it. I stayed alone in the house and sulked for a long time. It took a long time to exhale heavily!

Forget it, just let this girl be arrogant for a few days! After waiting for a while, I have to find a way to rectify her. can get out of this evil breath in my heart!

On the 10th day of November, the weather was a little cooler. Fortunately, the sun was shining, and it was a rare good weather.

After Ye Qinglan cleaned up. I waited in the lotus courtyard with peace of mind. The Xue family didn't wait to see Ye Qinglan anymore, and the kung fu on the surface was still indispensable. So, he specially called Ye Qinglan over and "advised": "...... When you go to the Prince's Mansion as a guest, you represent the face of our Changyuan Uncle's Mansion. You must not be arrogant and proud, lest people make irresponsible remarks behind your back, saying that you, a concubine, have no talent and no virtue, and I don't know how to climb the family business of the Dingguo Mansion. If you even affect my mother-in-law, I will be ridiculed for not being strict with my goddaughter......"

sprinkled a large article, at first glance, it sounds like a warning. Savor it, but it is full of mockery and ridicule.

Ye Qinglan pulled the corners of her lips and replied respectfully: "Thank you mother for reminding me." The mother can rest assured that her daughter must always remember her identity and will never do anything to disgrace Uncle Changyuan. Not to mention giving people a handle, even if those villains who have nothing to do want to find faults, they will never be able to find fault. ”

…… The words are soft and thorny, and they are clearly pointed.

Xue Shi failed to gain the upper hand verbally, and his heart became more and more depressed - in fact, these days, Xue Shi has been in this mood basically every day. Even if Ye Qinglan didn't say anything or do anything, as long as she stood there, she began to feel uncomfortable.

What's even more aggrieved is that as a mother-in-law, she now doesn't even have the right to "discipline" her concubine. The Jiang clan and the Zheng clan have been ordered several times, asking her not to look for Ye Qinglan again. No matter how unhappy she is, she can only stop fighting.

At this moment, another person who made Xue Shi feel bad when he looked at it also appeared.

The red silk with a big belly came to greet Xue's gently, she was eight months pregnant, her belly was high and bulging, her complexion was ruddy, and her complexion was very good.

It is strange that Xue Shi is in a good mood when he sees such a red silk. It's really strange to say, Hongxuan has always been honest and honest before, and she is timid. That's why at that time, the Xue family chose Hongxuan to be a maid in the room. Unexpectedly, this seemingly honest red silk seemed to be a different person after she became pregnant. Everywhere is cautious.,Except for asking for peace.,The rest of the time basically stays in the house.。 She couldn't find a suitable opportunity to start if she wanted to.

Such a delay has dragged on for several months. Seeing that Hongxuan's belly has been puffed up like a balloon that has been blown up, it will be more than a month before she gives birth......

The more Xue thought about it, the more irritated he became, and he didn't bother to look at Hongxuan again: "You are bulky now, you don't have to come to greet me all the time." Let's go back to the house and rest! "At this time, it's too late to start, and it's too traceable. It seems that we can only wait for the production of red silk to do tricks......

Hongxuan knew that she was not welcomed, so she responded respectfully, and then retreated.

Ye Qinglan didn't show too much attention to Hongxuan, and only glanced at her casually when Hongxuan came in. After that, he kept his head down. It is precisely because of this attitude that the Xue family has never suspected the change of Hongxuan on Ye Qinglan's body.

In fact, even Ye Qinglan herself didn't expect that after some points that day, Hongxuan would make such rapid progress and survive the past few months unharmed. The sentence "motherhood is strong" is really not good at all. Who would have thought that the honest and almost cowardly woman that day would have such a brave and strong side?

After waiting for a while, Hongyun, who had ordered the carriage to be prepared, came back: "Madam, the carriage is ready." ”

Xue Shi snorted and glanced at Ye Qinglan lightly: "Since the carriage is ready, you can go over now!" What are you doing here, waiting for me to send you? When it comes to the last sentence, I can't help but show irony in the end.

Ye Qinglan responded with a smile as if she didn't understand: "Don't dare to bother my mother, I'll just go over by myself." ”

…… It's like punching out hard, but it hits the soft cotton, and there is nowhere to focus, which makes people angry.

Xue secretly gritted his teeth and watched Ye Qinglan leave suddenly, his face gloomy and terrifying.

Hongyun and the other maids looked at each other, quietly exchanged knowing glances, and each lowered their heads. lest he be affected by Xue's anger and become an unlucky ghost who was angered.

……

Ye Qinglan led Rui Xue and Ruo Mei to the door without hurrying. From afar, they saw a carriage parked outside the open gate. The coachman was standing by the carriage waiting.

Ye Qinglan walked to the side of the carriage, the coachman opened the door attentively, Ruomei stepped forward and helped Ye Qinglan to get into the carriage.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded behind him.

Ye Qinglan's heart jumped, and suddenly she had a subtle sense, and turned her head to look over.

The white horse came from far and near, but in the blink of an eye, it came to the front. The young man on the horse, wearing a moon-white brocade robe, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, and a faint smile, who is it not Gu Xinian?

How did he come?

Ye Qinglan pretended to be reserved and said hello: "Cousin Gu, why are you here?" ”

Gu Xinian responded politely: "I received an invitation from the prince two days ago, and I am going to the prince's mansion for a banquet today. I heard that Cousin Lan was also going, so Yu'er wanted to go with you, and she wouldn't be lonely when she walked with her all the way. ”

Ye Qinglan was a little surprised, but more happy: "Really? Is Cousin Xiyu going with you too? ”

"I didn't expect her to go." Gu Xinian said with a smile: "I ride a horse, faster than her carriage." Wait a little at most, and the carriage will arrive. In the past, Gu Xiyu wouldn't have looked at such an invitation, let alone go out of the house as a guest. But now, Gu Xiyu only hesitated for a moment before nodding in response.

Such a change is of far-reaching significance to Gu Xiyu. It's no wonder that Gu Xinian is in such a happy mood. Just by taking advantage of Gu Xiyu's name, he walked with Ye Qinglan all the way......

looked at each other, and the hearts of the two were slightly sweet. Even if you don't say anything, there is a dense affection flowing in the veins. (To be continued......)
