Shen Yunxiao's happy birthday made Meng Jiao silent for a long time.

When the fireworks dissipated and the moat regained its tranquility, Meng Jiao nestled in Shen Yun's arms and opened her mouth sullenly.

"I thought no one knew... Even I almost forgot that today was my birthday... My mother passed away today, and I didn't want to celebrate this birthday..."

"I didn't want to live it, so Gillian, I gave it to you today, are you happy?"

Naturally, she was happy, in the past thirteen years, when her sister reached her birthday, Meng Jiao always silently shrunk in her room, thinking about her mother, and listening to the insults and ridicule outside.

There are fireworks, but they are all bystanders.

"The fireworks are beautiful... Later... Will there be any more in the future? ”

The little girl was shy, and being able to ask such a sentence was already very satisfying to Shen Yunxiao.

In addition to the joy, there is also a little bit of distress, like powder diffused in the heart, little by little, so that the tip of the tongue is smeared with bitterness.

"Yes, as long as you like it, I will set off a thousand fireworks for you on the bank of the moat in the twilight of the year in the future to celebrate your birthday."

This is a promise, Meng Jiao is very happy, although people often say that the oath is useless, but there is such a promise, year after year, it can be regarded as a good hope.

On the twenty-eighth day of the twilight of the lunar month, Meng Jiao's fourteen-year-old birthday is over, and the wedding ceremony to be performed on the day of the wedding is about to be put on the agenda.

"If the little lady is just Miss Chang of the Meng family, this gift is just a mess between close people, but the little lady now has a title, and this gift is going to be handled in a big way."

Let's not talk about the side, even the emperor and Concubine An in the palace, and the rewards will definitely not be less.

Moreover, Concubine Nankang, a person who is so good at doing things, can't let go of such a good opportunity to win over.

It is conceivable that Meng Jiao's gift must be grand.

"The other people's ones can be counted separately, the most important thing is our Shen Shuai's, this is what the little lady cares about the most!"

Cui Sleeves is used to laughing, and as soon as this joke came out, the tips of Meng Jiao's ears slowly climbed red.

In fact, Cui Sleeve is right, how good the congratulatory gifts are from others, Meng Jiao really doesn't care, she only cares about the people she wants to care about, and only cares about the people she likes.

Shen Yunxiao said that on the day of the flute, he would personally tie the hosta for her.

Dayan has a custom, and those who wear hairpins on the day of the hairpin are the future husbands except for their fathers.

"The slave maid heard that Shen Shuai has already ordered someone to start looking for a piece of high-quality jade, this is to prepare for the little lady's ceremony!"

"That is, the hosta prepared for his wife must not be bad!"

A few little maids in the room laughed, Meng Jiao really couldn't sit still, and ran out with a red face in shame.

Mama Lin saw that Meng Jiao was really embarrassed, and motioned to Cui Sleeve and the others to stop ridiculing, and followed Meng Jiao out.

"Little lady, don't go to your heart, these girls follow the concubine Niangniang, they are all spoiled by the mother, and when they come here, the little lady has no shelf, and these girls are a little lawless."

"Mama is serious, they are all girls of about the same age, I won't care about this."

Mama Lin chased her out to explain, her words were sincere, Meng Jiao was not angry, so this matter passed as a joke.

It's just that Mama Lin mentioned Concubine An, Meng Jiao felt that it would be the New Year in one day, and Concubine An Guifei had always taken care of her, if she didn't go into the palace to visit her, it would be a little unreasonable.

Meng Jiao made up her mind here, and Mama Lin hurriedly ordered someone to deliver the post to the palace, and Concubine An Guifei's side came back very quickly, and before noon, Meng Jiao had already come to Ruizhangtai.

"The concubine has been talking about the little lady, but it just so happened that you entered the palace today."

The grandmother waiting at the gate of the palace said a few polite words, but she could also hear the sincerity in it, Concubine An really liked Meng Jiao, the daughter of her best friend, and she hated to take care of people with her.

Meng Jiao smiled and said a few words modestly, and then followed Mama into Ruizhangtai.

Concubine An had been standing at the door of the inner palace for a long time, and saw Meng Jiao walking in from a distance, and without waiting for Meng Jiao to come closer, she hurriedly ran forward and grabbed Meng Jiao's hand.

"You kid, you haven't been in the palace for a month, this palace has lived in the deep palace for a long time, it's not easy to go out, otherwise, this palace will definitely come to the door to find you in person!"

"Let the mother worry."

Meng Jiao is not good at words, Concubine An Guifei doesn't care about this, and she doesn't like the kind of girl who can talk on her lips, but she doesn't know what to think in her heart.

When the people below saw the concubine treating this little lady like this, they naturally knew what to expect, and without waiting for Concubine An to give anything more, they consciously brought tea and water, and served Meng Jiao very thoughtfully.

"Bengong really likes you, a few days ago, I also wanted you to be the daughter-in-law of Bengong, but in the end, fate is not enough, you still prefer the kid of the Shen family."

An Guifei is a straight person, and she is not afraid to take out her thoughts at that time and say, Meng Jiao also loves her kind of temperament very much, and if these things are said, there will naturally be no barriers.

"Niangniang is for my good, and she also wants to kiss and kiss, I know all this, but..."

"It's just that the kid of the Shen family has a preconceived idea, this palace knows that this palace is not the kind of person who is difficult for a strong man, besides, the son of this palace doesn't have to be sent by that kid of the Shen family, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to marry a girl as good as you?"

After a joke like this, the matter of Yan Chao's intention to marry Meng Jiao was turned over like this.

It happened that at noon, Concubine An Guifei left Meng Jiao in the palace for dinner.

Ruizhangtai has an independent kitchen, Concubine An instructed, and the people below naturally do their best, and the meals they make are all Meng Jiao's favorites.

In the subtleties, you can see whether a person is sincere or false, Concubine An is such a straightforward person, but she can pay attention to such a small place, Meng Jiao knows that this woman has really turned her remembrance of Xue Wan into tenderness and used it on her.

"You're still a little rushed to come, otherwise, you can serve another time-consuming but delicious dish."

"Aunt An is too polite, I'm such a little person, I can't eat much, if there is a good one, I will come back in the future, and I won't eat the same thing."

Concubine An smiled and was just about to continue chatting about the side, when a little maid hurriedly walked in from outside the inner palace.

The little maid quickly ran to Concubine An's side, as if she had something important to report.

"What's wrong?"

"Concubine Niangniang, someone from outside came to report that it was the niece of the Queen Mother's family, and Miss Yun Lian of the Yun family was waiting outside to visit."
