"Huh? I didn't expect Fang Cai to be so dangerous, so Brother Mu is still in it now, nothing will happen, right? Ruan Mianmian's eyes widened.

"Probably not, the emperor named you the county lord, he will definitely not be murderous, don't worry. It's just that there may be many more such occasions in the future, and I am always worried about the safety of our people. After going back, we have to think of ways to let King Qi's brain know that the jade seal is no longer in our hands, otherwise even if the jade seal is sent away, he will be harassed endlessly. Jiang Xinyue narrowed her eyes, as if she could sense the danger that would not be long after.

In just a moment, Ruan Mianmian, who was dressed in a small red dress, had already arrived in front of the Queen Mother's Palace, and the eunuch came out soon after the report to invite them in. Ruan Mianmian untied the little cloak, and the Fufeng behind Jiang Xinyue immediately took it, Ruan Mianmian smiled sweetly at her, and then took a step into the hall.

The Queen Mother was drinking bird's nest porridge and leaning on a small pillow, while Fang Yan restrained the previous pungency, and sat beside her obediently to beat her legs, a beautiful scene of family happiness. Seeing the visitor, the grandfather and grandson spoke at the same time: "It's you?" ”

Ruan Mianmian always had a smile on his face, and after saluting, he and Jiang Xinyue sat in their seats and ate pastries silently, without saying much. The Queen Mother beckoned Jiang Xinyue to come forward and sit beside her, Jiang Xinyue whispered something in her ear, and the Queen Mother's expression when she looked at Ruan Mianmian was also a lot more friendly.

It's just that Princess Fangyan was squeezed out, the smile on her pretty face suddenly disappeared, she pouted and sat aside, looking at Jiang Xinyue and the Queen Mother's "mother and daughter" with some anger.

"Mianmian, the emperor has given you the title of county lord, you can also take it well, and it will be good to show you a good horse one day." The Queen Mother's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she smiled as if she still had the demeanor of her youth, reaching out and gently caressing the green silk hanging from Jiang Xinyue's ears, but the seemingly casual words made Ruan Mianmian startled.

The Queen Mother's words reminded Ruan Mianmian that after becoming the county lord, her marriage is not up to her, everything has to be handled by the Queen Mother and the emperor in the palace, this is also the only fly in the ointment, she is not as favored as Jiang Xinyue, and the most likely thing at that time is to give young talents in the court to be enveloped, which is also the fate of all the women in the royal family.

The lightness on Ruan Mianmian's face gradually disappeared, her sweetheart Fang Cannon was just a nobody, the most inconspicuous shopkeeper of Yipinxiang, always so honest and careful, but such an identity may not be able to enter the eyes of these palace nobles, and they will not see the precious character under Fang Cannon's simple appearance, and the county lord marrying a commoner is obviously risking the world's disapproval, and she has no real power, it is even more difficult to marry Fang Cannon.

"The Queen Mother said with a smile, it is too early to talk about marriage now after sleeping in the summer after the New Year." As she spoke, Ruan Mianmian's little face turned crimson, as if she was an ordinary daughter's infinitely shy appearance when talking about love and marriage, and lowered her head to hide a trace of lingering melancholy in her eyes.

The Queen Mother didn't notice the change in her mood, and said to Jiang Xinyue by herself: "That's right, don't worry, the marriage between Xinyue and Boss Namu should be advanced all of a sudden, the mourning family has nothing to do, and you will personally prepare for your marriage, and your daughter's family will marry once in a lifetime, so you must not be sloppy." ”

"Seeing that the children are all older, the emperor's harem is his own to pick people to enrich it, and you have to choose the right people carefully for you. At present, Xinyue's marriage is at the top, and Boss Mu is young and talented, and the mourning family is naturally relieved, and the sleep is not yet in time, and Fangyan is even smaller, that is, the boy of the King of England, and now there is only a concubine from a foreign country who has not yet married, but he wants to choose a few people who are willing to enrich the palace for him. The Queen Mother pondered carefully, pinching the grapes in the fruit bowl from time to time and stuffing them into Jiang Xinyue's hands, more like a loving mother of ordinary people.

As for King Qi, the Queen Mother has long been out of sight, let alone planning for him, and she can't wait for his heirs to wither, so even if he is the oldest among these juniors but has not yet married a concubine, the Queen Mother is unwilling to worry about it and let him fend for himself.

"Grandmother Huang doesn't have to be embarrassed about this, I looked at Uncle Ying at the last night banquet, and I seemed to pay more attention to a gentle and lovely girl like Lord Ruliang." Fang Yan was eating snacks on her tiptoes, with an innocent and kind face, as if she was an ignorant girl who didn't know anything about the world, but her mind when she said this was to be studied, and after she finished speaking, she playfully picked her chin at Ruan Mianmian.

"Oh? Really? The Queen Mother looked at Ruan Mianmian, and her eyes lit up with a strange brilliance.

She had long heard that the king's favorite place to go was Yipinxiang Restaurant, and after eating Yipinxiang's hot pot, she thought that Yipinxiang's food tasted excellent, but only after Fang Yan reminded her, she thought of another possibility.

The two who want to come to Yipinxiang with a slight appearance are Jiang Xinyue and Ruan Mianmian, and Liu Xin'er, the second lady of the Anyang Houfu, is charming but lacks aura, could it be that the kid of the King of England really loves Ruan Mianmian's style?

The king of England is a prince, quite talented and profound, but after all, he is not his own child, so the queen mother always wants to envelop him, but the king of England has always been very cautious, and never shows a special love for something in front of her, and now seeing that Ruan Mianmian may be on his appetite, how can he not be happy.

Thinking about it again, Ruan Mianmian's civilian identity was canonized, and Princess Zhuen is a native of Mobei, and the person who will inherit the British king's family property in the future will definitely not be a child with foreign blood, if Ruan Mianmian gives birth to the prince of England, the identity is noble enough, not to mention, it is easier to handle.

Thinking like this, the Queen Mother almost wanted to pack Ruan Mianmian directly into the British Prince's Mansion and be crowned as a side concubine, but she was still thoughtful in her work, and she had to explore the tone of the two people separately first, and it was not too late to match if it was suitable.

Ruan Mianmian hated Fang Yan for making trouble for her without concealing her mouth, and she was even more afraid that the Queen Mother would misunderstand the Mandarin Duck Score, so she immediately got up and saluted: "Back to the Queen Mother, Mianmian has not yet reached the end of her life, and she has not thought about marriage, His Royal Highness also said that he likes Mianmian very much, so he intends to recognize Mianmian as a righteous sister, that's all." ”

"Oh? Righteous sister, it's good, it's good. "The queen mother's loss is not shown on her face, she thinks that she has no intention of getting married, but this is nothing, some of the nobles in the family are famous and noble girls who want to marry into the British palace, and then find other suitable ones.

"But that day, I saw that the British Emperor didn't even look at the princess Zhuen, who was alluring to the country and the city, but his eyes were always on Miss Ruan." Fang Yan teased.

"The princess is wrong, the prince paid attention to Mianmian probably because Mianmian was wronged and slandered at that time, so the prince can't bear to see good people wronged, as for the rest, I'm afraid it's really nothing." Ruan Mianmian explained.

She really didn't like this arrogant little princess in her heart, and she felt that she was a little arrogant and arrogant in order to be afraid that the world would not be chaotic, but she couldn't ignore it in front of the queen mother, so she had to talk to her.

A few people chatted for a while, the topic of the woman's family was nothing more than those romantic and interesting things, the parents were short, with Fang Yan and Jiang Xinyue making fun jokes around the Queen Mother, Ruan Mianmian was less noticed, and she was also happy, she ate all the pastries in the Queen Mother's palace, and packed and took away a lot before leaving.

The queen mother liked her natural and close appearance, and did not restrain her, but let the palace maid choose a fresh one for her.

Yipinxiang people took the carriage back home, the sky was already dark, the long blue street hung rows of flaming red lanterns, many people spontaneously set off firecrackers in front of the door, there were rich and noble also bought fireworks to invite everyone to enjoy together, rich and poor, and happy and distressed, this night's fireworks in the sky are the fairest enjoyment for everyone.

Although Ruan Mianmian and Jiang Xinyue are county lords, they did not stay in the palace to participate in the night banquet, but they are not legitimate county lords, no one cares about this, Jiang Xinyue's maids also came from the county lord's mansion to have fun, and some family members in the capital sent cars to send them to the reunion, and those who did not have family members or those who were far away stayed in Yipinxiang to pack up the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Ruan Mianmian's entourage of maids and the county lord's mansion will not be completed until the next year, and she is also happy.

As for what Mu Ruqing and the emperor discussed in the imperial study, Mu Ruqing just smiled and shook his head, without revealing anything, Jiang Xinyue and the others asked for a while and didn't say anything, but sat in front of the window with small scissors to cut out all kinds of window flowers and paste them on the window.

Ruan Mianmian had never learned to cut window flowers, and she cut a blessing character, but it was really difficult to see, and she was laughed at by Jiang Xinyue and them for a while, so angry that she stuffed the window flowers under the table and didn't take them out. Seeing this, Fang Dacang, who came in with the dishes, quietly touched the broken Fu character of Ruan Mianmian and put it in his sleeve, which caused Jiang Xinyue and Liu Xin'er to laugh.

Uncle Hua, Fang Dacang and Ruan Bai were busy in the kitchen for a long time, and they gathered two tables full of dishes, and the rich aroma of hot pot could even be smelled in the courtyard.

As usual, the people with a taste of incense sat around a table, and those maids also changed into homely clothes around a table, and everyone talked and laughed wantonly, which was really as lively as an ordinary big family for the New Year.

When the banquet was about to open, an uninvited guest came, and everyone sat in the hall, only to hear the sound of a knock on the door of the backyard.

Liu Xin'er stood up and put on her cloak to open the door, and after a while, everyone heard Liu Xin'er's somewhat surprised voice: "Father, why are you?" ”

Hearing that it was Anyang Hou coming, Mu Ruqing also got up to greet him, wasn't the man who strode into the door Anyang Hou? During this time, his business was booming, and even people had made a lot of fortune, wearing a thick fur hat and an atmospheric scarf, he looked a little bloated, but his face was more kind.

"Hou Ye, please sit down, tread water, and then go get a few pairs of dishes and chopsticks, so that the people brought by Hou Ye will also sit at your table, and everyone will have a lively meal." Jiang Xinyue got up and took care of it, as if she was already the proprietress of a pinxiang.
