After seeing Qing Jin and Gu Ningxuan seated, the old lady swept around the people in the room and said: "I asked you to come over because I have a big event to tell you, the palace sent a post, the queen mother's birthday is coming, the emperor will hold a birthday banquet for the queen mother, this time the queen mother's birthday banquet is also shared in our Anji Hou Mansion, the eldest daughter-in-law, the third daughter-in-law, Jin'er and Yao'er, you all have to go ......"

"Grandmother, are you telling the truth? Are my second sister and I also going to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet? When Qing Yao heard her grandmother Shen's words, she immediately looked overjoyed and asked her grandmother Shen in disbelief.

Shen Shi heard Qing Yao's words, and nodded with a smile: "It's true, you and Jin'er are going, by the way, in addition, the Queen Mother is likely to summon you alone after the birthday banquet, Yao'er, you and Jin'er have to prepare another birthday gift for the Queen Mother." The second half of Shen's sentence was mainly said to Qing Yao, if it was not bad, after the queen mother's birthday banquet, the emperor would be married, and then the Anji Marquis Mansion would be able to produce a prince and concubine, what a glorious thing.

Qing Yao heard Shen's special advice, glanced at Qing Jin next to her without a trace, and nodded solemnly at her grandmother Shen: "Grandmother, don't worry, Yao'er will prepare carefully, and she will definitely not lose the face of our Anjihou Mansion." ”

When Shen heard Qing Yao's words, he nodded with satisfaction: "Well, you must prepare carefully, but you don't have to be too deliberate, just be dedicated." ”

"Yao'er knows." Qing Yao nodded at her grandmother Shen.

Hearing Qing Yao's words, Shen Shi shifted his gaze to Qing Jin's body, "Jin'er, you also have to prepare carefully." The tone was not as deliberate and admonishing as before.

"Yes, grandmother, Qing Jin knows." Qing Jin responded lightly to the words brought by her grandmother Shen, anyway, the protagonist will not be her at that time. She's a foil at best.

"Okay, you guys go back first! I'm talking to your mother. ”

"Qing Jin, Qing Yao retires!" Hearing Shen's words, Qing Jin and Qing Yao said goodbye to Shen's blessing.

After Qing Jin and Qing Yao walked out of the Shen family's courtyard together, Qing Yao asked Qing Jin who was traveling with her: "Second sister, what my grandmother said just now, the Queen Mother's birthday, we have to prepare gifts, second sister, have you thought about what gift to give?" ”

"Not yet. Isn't there still a few days? What, fourth sister, have you thought about what to prepare? Qing Jin asked rhetorically at Gu Qingyao.

Hearing Qing Jin's words, Qing Yao immediately looked disappointed and said in frustration: "Yao'er didn't think of what to send yet, I originally thought that the second sister would have an idea." Just let Yao'er refer to the reference, but I didn't expect the second sister to think of it. Second sister. What birthday gifts do you think other noble ladies will give to the Queen Mother? ”

"I don't know about this, if the fourth sister wants to know, you might as well send someone around you to ask the fourth sister about the sisters she made friends with outside in two days." Qing Jin said with a smile to Gu Qing Yao.

Looking at Qing Jin's answers, she didn't hear anything that satisfied her, and Qing Yao was a little dissatisfied. Coquettishly said to Qing Jin: "Then the second sister, you can ask for Yao'er, okay, Yao'er sees that the relationship between the second sister and Sister Yang is very good, can the second sister ask Yao'er what gifts Sister Yang will prepare at that time?" His eyes looked directly at Qing Jin.

Qing Jin heard Qing Yao's words with a coquettish tone. But it was obviously a little excessive, and the smile on his face remained unchanged, and said: "If I can, I would like to ask, but I have only met Miss Yang twice, and I can't be said to be on good terms, even if I ask, people will not necessarily sue me, and it will damage the face of our Anjihou Mansion, so I'm afraid I can't help the fourth sister." ”

Hearing Qing Jin say this, the smile on Qing Yao's face immediately faded a little.

Qing Jin saw Qing Yao's faded smile, and continued to speak unhurriedly: "The Queen Mother has a noble status, I haven't seen anything valuable, the fourth sister just needs to be dedicated." Qing Jin reminded Qing Yao lightly, of course she is not kind, this matter, maybe Qing Yao is a little unthinkable now, but after thinking about it for two more days, she will definitely be able to think of it.

It's just that because of the suddenness, she didn't think of it for the first time, she reminded at this time that she could avoid Gu Qingyao from taking a lot of detours, so she should buy a good one for Gu Qingyao, after all, after Gu Qingyao became the prince's concubine, the Anji Marquis Mansion would rely on Gu Qingyao, and her younger brother would also receive Gu Qingyao's favor after inheriting the title in the future.

Hearing Qing Jin's obvious reminder, a light flashed in Qing Yao's eyes, "Thank you Second Sister for reminding you, Second Sister, have you already thought of giving some birthday gift to the Queen Mother!" ”

"Not yet."

"Second sister, if you prepare a gift, you must tell Sù Yao'er."

"When I have an idea, I will definitely inform the fourth sister." Qing Jin said lightly to Qing Yao.

"Then Yao'er will thank the second sister." Qing Yao said with a smile at Qing Jin.

Qing Jin nodded at Qing Yao, and after the two sisters said goodbye to each other, they separated at the door of Chaoxia Courtyard and walked in the direction of their respective courtyards.

After Qing Jin took the mandarin duck to leave the Chaoxia Courtyard for a long time, the mandarin duck finally couldn't help but speak: "Girl, the four girls are too good, although the four girls are likely to marry the prince, but it is too much, the girl is the concubine of the Anji Hou Mansion, if the girl hadn't made a marriage with the young master in advance, would the position of the prince's concubine be her turn?" is such a blatant instructing girl. ”

"Kindness to the emperor, and it is the third uncle who saved the two princes, the fourth sister can be assigned to marry, it is the credit of the third uncle, and when the fourth sister becomes the prince's concubine, our Anji Hou Mansion will rely on the fourth sister to carry it, and the fourth sister just opened her mouth to mention it, after I refused, the fourth sister didn't say anything!" Qing Jin said soothingly to the mandarin duck.

"What the girl said is that the mandarin duck is wronged for the girl, although after the girl rejected the fourth girl just now, there was no obvious look on the face of the fourth girl, but who knows what the fourth girl thinks in her heart, and ah, girl, what if you think the fourth girl makes any excessive requests, the slave always feels that this kind of thing will be indispensable in the future." The mandarin duck said with some concern.

"Hehe, when will you learn to worry about the sky, girl, I am not a person with great skills, when the fourth sister marries the royal family, even if there is anything, it is not that there is a grandmother, and the third uncle, the third aunt is in front, how can I use this uncle's cousin, besides, even if the fourth sister has something to do with me at that time, I, as the sister of the same clan and clan, of course I can help, after all, if the fourth sister really becomes the princess, our Anji Hou Mansion will rely on the fourth sister to do things for the princess, I don't know how many people can't ask for it! Qing Jin said jokingly.

"That's it, the slave maid is wronged for the girl, not the slave maid is careful, take the jewelry that the old lady gave the girl and the four girls last time, although the two sets of jewelry look similar, but the jewelry of Lantian jade is not shallow compared to the red gold jewelry, the slave maid is not shallow-eyed, the slave maid cares about the meaning, the old lady obviously likes the four girls a little more than the girl, the old lady will not be like this before, and the old lady used to hurt the girl the most, just because the fourth girl may be the princess in the future, Now there are very good things that are clinging to the four girls, and now even the four girls have begun to tell the girls to do things as a matter of course. The mandarin duck said all the unfair words in his heart.

"You girl, you also know that the fourth sister is going to be the prince's concubine, and our Anji Hou Mansion will also be more noble because of Sister Qingyao in the future, grandmother is holding on to Sister Qingyao, and besides, grandmother used to be good to me, that is really good, from childhood to adulthood, grandmother has no good things to me. Although Sister Qingyao accompanies the third uncle and third aunt all the year round, she does not have the advantage of growing up next to my grandmother, but Sister Qingyao is also the granddaughter of my grandmother, and she will be the support of our Anjihou Mansion in the future. Since things that are not important to us, I was not sad without them before, why now, all of a sudden, a person runs out and grabs it, you girl can't stand it? Hearing Qing Jin's words, the mandarin duck came back to her senses, a little ashamed, when she encountered these things, she should have persuaded the girl, but she didn't expect the girl to come over to comfort her, on the other hand, as the girl's personal big girl, she actually fell out of control with the girl, and said these words, provoking the girl's mood, she was really a little unqualified, so she said to this Qing Jin: "Girl, I ......"

"Okay, you don't have to apologize, you are like this, you are also thinking about me and being unfair, but you are so unhappy and dissatisfied, I will just vent it, don't show it to this outsider, otherwise people will think you are jealous!"

"Mandarin ducks are not jealous, girl, don't take what Mandarin Ducks just said to heart, the slave and maid are just confused, even if the fourth girl points out to marry the prince, in the heart of the slave and maid, in addition to his identity, the young master is not worse than the prince at all, and the girl said that day, the young master is only married to a girl, and the fourth girl is married to the prince, I don't know how many side concubines to marry, the concubine is angry......"

Hearing Mandarin Duck's words, Qing Jin nodded, and said, "It's good if you know......" But she didn't think so, thinking of her previous life, the six princes had always had only one concubine, Qing Yao, and some things were really jealous and she couldn't be jealous, but fortunately, she was not stupid in her life, and she was not willing to be a concubine with others, thinking of what her cousin said to her, although it was still not as good as Gu Qingyao to marry, but this was her own choice, so it was very good.

Because she understood that she was just a foil this time, Qing Jin didn't bother to think about what gifts to prepare, seeing that the day of the Queen Mother's birthday was coming soon, Qing Yao came to Qing Jin's courtyard and said to Qing Jin: "Second sister, the day of the Queen Mother's birthday is coming, is the second sister ready for the gift of the Queen Mother's birthday?"
