Listening to Mei'er's footsteps gradually walking away, Bai Zhi closed the door and returned to her.

"Do you notice anything out of the ordinary?" Jinsu asked softly.

Bai Zhi stepped forward and refilled Jin Su with tea before saying slowly, "No, everything is as usual, since you entered the palace, I have strictly ordered them not to leave the Hanlian Courtyard if they have nothing to do, even if they are in the courtyard, they don't have to say much about the masters." ”

"Hmm," Jin Su nodded, picked up the teacup and blew it, but had no intention of drinking it, "Very good!" But you don't have to be so tight in the future, and you need to relax appropriately. ”

"Yes!" After Bai Zhi answered, she sat down in her original position and continued to choose jewelry.

Bai Qi looked at Bai Zhi in a daze, then at Jinsu, and finally couldn't help asking, "Miss, what are you talking about?" ”

Jinsu and Bai Zhi looked at each other helplessly and smiled, but neither answered Bai Qi's question.

Bai Qi didn't seem to be angry, pouted and glanced at the two of them, and lowered his head and continued to sort out the items in the box, probably getting used to it.

After some tidying, one box was finally left in Jinsu's room, and the rest were moved to Bai Qi's room. After everything was cleaned up, the three of them went out together for a family feast.

As usual, when Jinsu arrived, An Xiayu's mother and daughter had already arrived.

"Eldest sister~"

When An Xiayu saw Jinsu, she happily stepped forward and took her hand, as if she was very happy.

"Miss~"

When Aunt Wang saw her, her attitude was more respectful than before.

The mother and daughter are enthusiastic about her, but she only responds with a faint smile.

"Eldest sister, I thought you wouldn't come back!" An Xia Yu said with a spring breeze on her face.

"How do you say that?" Jin Su wondered.

"The emperor treats you so well......"

"I see, you don't want me to come back!" Jinsu joked.

An Xiayu hurriedly explained, "How is it possible! If there is anyone in this mansion who wants the eldest sister to come back, then my aunt and I must be the first! ”

This is true, Princess Jinyan's power is still the same, and she is the only hope for their mother and daughter to come forward.

As soon as the conversation changed, Jin Su asked casually, "Xia Yu, why don't you have to serve your grandmother today?" ”

Unexpectedly, An Xiayu sighed with great disdain, then covered her mouth and whispered, "Eldest sister doesn't know yet, during the days when you were not in the mansion, that Qin Xiangyue coaxed her grandmother around, and now she has lived in Yunxiang Courtyard." Grandmother's side, where can I still be allowed to serve! ”

An Xiayu's words were full of complaints, and his disgust for Qin Xiangyue was even more visible to the naked eye.

Just when Jin Su didn't know how to comfort her, she heard like an old lady came in, so she gently patted her shoulder and motioned her to put away the unpleasantness on her face.

Sure enough, the old lady was helped in by Qin Xiangyue.

"Grandmother is well~"

Jinsu and An Xiayu shouted in unison.

"Good, good! Get up," said the old lady with a smile, "all right, since you're here, let's all sit down and wait." ”

Everyone sat in their own positions with ease, and Qin Xiangyue also retreated behind the old lady very sensibly and stood with Mama Zhang so that she could serve at any time.

The old lady pulled Qin Xiangyue, pointed to the vacant seat beside Aunt Wang, and said lovingly, "Yue'er, you just sit there." ”

An Xiayu was obviously a little unconvinced, but she didn't dare to show it, so she pulled Jinsu's shirt and rolled her eyes slightly.

Aunt Wang was different, and when she heard this, she smiled at Qin Xiangyue in a friendly manner.

Qin Xiangyue waved her hand again and again, and said humbly, "Auntie, how can this be done, this is a family banquet in the mansion, how can I be an outsider?" ”

"Oh, what outsiders are not outsiders, you are a guest in our house, and the family banquet will naturally be served!" The old lady said categorically.

"My aunt can take me in so that I don't end up on the streets, Xiangyue is already grateful, how can I ......?"

Jin Su couldn't listen to it anymore, so she got up and pulled Qin Xiangyue to sit next to her original position, that is, the old lady, and said, "Xiangyue, come and sit, since grandmother has spoken, what are you polite about." Do it here, since you are your grandmother's maiden family, you should naturally be a guest. ”

Qin Xiangyue naturally didn't dare to sit down, but the old lady was very satisfied, and coupled with Jinsu's persuasion, she had to sit down reluctantly.

As soon as he sat down, An Suqing came in quietly.

"Grandmother!" An Suqing respectfully greeted the old lady, and then, glanced at Qin Xiangyue, and nodded politely at her.

Probably because of the fact that there were many people here, Qin Xiangyue only responded with a slight smile, and then turned her head away and stopped looking at him.

Seeing the every move of these two people, Jin Su already knew it, slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and sat down quietly.

"Eldest sister~" An Suqing called her, her attitude was the same as before, polite.

Jin Su pursed her lips, smiled and nodded to him, which was considered a response.

Since the first day that Lianyu disguised himself as Qin Xiangyue and entered the mansion, An Suqing's eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Jinsu, but he didn't have the opportunity to speak alone, so many things could only be tacitly understood.

"Suqing, after the New Year, there will be a scientific examination, right?" The old lady said with concern.

"Yes, next March."

"Although it's important to study, you also have to take care of your body, but I haven't seen you for a few days, and you seem to have lost weight again!" The old lady said distressedly.

"Yes, my grandson remembered."

"When you are in high school, your grandmother will help you find a good family, haha~~" After the old lady finished speaking, she was happy first.

"What are you talking about?"

Another person who didn't see him heard his voice first, but this voice was the voice of Princess Jinyan who disgusted Jinsu.

When everyone heard Jin Yan's voice, they all consciously got up and saluted, except for the old lady. Although no one likes her, no one wants to let her find fault with the etiquette.

Jin Yan raised her hand and said lightly, "It's all a family, you don't have to be so formal, just sit down!" ”

Although Jin Su and the others were silent, they still waited for Jin Yan to sit down first, and then sat down carefully, never daring to forget the orderly courtesy of dignity and humility.

"Let's serve!"

After Jin Yan sat down, she turned back and ordered her subordinates.

The old lady wondered, "What about Heqing?" Why didn't you see him? ”

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, my lord was temporarily assigned to work, and he won't be back for a while!" Princess Jin Yan said as if gloating.

"Oh," the old lady sighed, and asked no more.

Jin Yan looked at Qin Xiangyue, her eyes were full of contempt and disdain, "Is this Xiangyue girl still used to living in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

"Thank you princess for your concern, everything is fine Xiangyue," Qin Xiangyue raised her head slightly, but quickly lowered her head again, clutching the handkerchief tightly in her hand, as if she was very scared.

"I see that you are about the same age as Xia Yu, are you allowed?" Jin Yan asked again.

Qin Xiangyue continued to shake her head and said softly, "No, no." ”

"Yue'er's affairs don't bother the princess to worry about, there are still many unmarried daughters in the Prime Minister's Mansion!" The old lady replied with some displeasure.

"Yes, yes, what the old lady said," Princess Jin Yan said with a smile, "The young lady in the mansion, I know it all in my heart, Jinsu doesn't need to say it, that's not what we did." Xia Yu and Ya'er are left, Ya'er is still young, and it doesn't hurt to stay for two more years, but Xia Yu is the time to plan. ”

The old lady nodded in agreement.

Princess Jin Yan glanced at the old lady and continued, "I see, the third prince in the mansion of Lord Tang of the Ministry of Rites is not bad, and he is very compatible with Xia Yu, uh...... What's it called? ”

"Tang Rongshu," Anya Sheng reminded from the side.

"Oh, yes! Tang Rongshu," Princess Jin Yan repeated heavily.

"Ahem-" When Jin Su heard this name, he happened to be drinking tea, and he accidentally choked on, "Ahem-cough!" ”

Bai Qian hurriedly helped her to the side and kept giving her comfort. The conversation at the dinner table continued, uninterrupted by her sudden cough.

"Tang Rongshu?" The old lady muttered suspiciously, thought for a while, and then asked, "The name is quite familiar, people, I really can't remember it." ”

"Oh, grandmother, it's the one who often messes with the fourth uncle!" Anya said openly.

"Him?" The old lady was visibly disdainful, and asked, "Has he not yet taken a wife?" ”

"It is said that the lady died young, and now there are only a few concubines in the house. If we Xia Yu marry, we will be the wife of the main house, and we will be the master of the house! Princess Jin Yan said.

"But—" the old lady paused, before continuing, "although he is in the main room, he has no fame after all, and I heard that he has been in the land of fireworks all day long, and he is not a virtuous person. ”

Princess Jin Yan disagreed, "Eh, the old lady's words are wrong, he is a scholar, and next year's scientific examination is imminent, so there is no need to worry about fame." Besides, his father is already a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, his brother is the proud general of the Sima family, and his sister is the most favored nobleman in the palace. With such a prosperous family background, even if Tang Sangongzi has no fame, he will have no worries about food and clothing in this life! ”

"But our Xia Yu, after all, is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he ......" The old lady was obviously not very satisfied with Tang Rongshu.

At this time, Jin Su was already much better, and when he returned to his seat, the dishes on the table were almost served, but the old lady and Jin Yan did not move their chopsticks, and the others had to wait patiently, even An Yasheng, who had always been frivolous, sat silently.

"It's true that Xia Yu is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, although she is a concubine, but it is more than enough to match him Tang Sangongzi. Of course, if Xia Yu wants to marry high, then she can only marry as a concubine. I guess that's not what she wants, right? Isn't it, summer rain? Princess Jin Yan said, raising her eyebrows and looking at An Xiayu's mother and daughter.

An Xiayu lowered her head nervously and said hesitantly, "I, I ......"
