"I asked him to hand over Xu Yuru's power, but also for his sake, I didn't care about it before, it doesn't mean that I don't know that she is full of private pockets and connivs at Nangong Qingyun to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble. If this continues, their mother and son will lose the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

"I knew that my former son was not a man who coveted the powerful."

"Plus! The Prime Minister's Mansion is not only their mother and son, but also my younger brother Haoran! After all, he still has to live here, so putting the power in the hands of Aunt Lin is good for Haoran and the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

"My old days are all about forethought, okay! I support you, no matter what you do, as long as the reason is sufficient, I support the lady unconditionally. After saying this, he raised his hand as if he had sworn it.

"As long as your mouth is sweet, you will make people happy! But I'm in a much better mood now. Thank you! With you by my side, I am so happy. ”

After listening to her emotion, Ming Haoxuan gently hugged Nangong Nianxi in his arms. The two were silent for a long time, and Ming Haoxuan suddenly said, "I'll give you a surprise tomorrow?" ”

"What surprise?" Nangong Nianxi suddenly became interested and asked.

"I said that it was a surprise, so I can't tell you, by the way, for the palace banquet the day after tomorrow, I asked my father for marriage, okay?"

Nangong Nianxi raised his head and said solemnly, "Have you thought about it?" ”

"No matter what happens to us in the future, I will always be by your side, please marry me, okay?"

Nangong Nianxi listened to his confession and was deeply moved, this is his voice from the bottom of his heart, and it has also been tested, Nangong Nianxi looked at him affectionately, and finally nodded in agreement.

After hearing this, Ming Hao suddenly stood up and said happily: "Xi'er is finally willing to marry me, it's really good!" After speaking, he excitedly stretched out his hand and hugged Nangong Nianxi, and spun in a circle.

"Are you crazy? Put me down, I'm dizzy! Nangong Nianxi hugged his neck tightly in fear.

Ming Haoxuan listened and slowly stopped, put her on the ground steadily, hugged her slender waist and said, "Xi'er! It's that I'm so happy that you're finally my lady. ”

"Okay, okay, the day after tomorrow is the palace banquet, and there will be a New Year's Eve at night, so let's rest early tomorrow if there are a lot of things to do!" After speaking, Nangong Nianxi let go of her hand and walked straight to the bed.

Ming Haoxuan suddenly said: "Xi'er! I can't sleep! What if you're too happy? ”

"That's easy! Simple and practical, count the stars, one star, two stars, three ......"

Ming Haoxuan undressed helplessly, so he had to look at the bed tent and follow the method taught by Nangong Nianxi, and the experiment proved that he counted the stars N times, but he still didn't fall asleep, and finally hugged his dear Xi'er and fell asleep.

On the third day of the next day, Nangong Nianxi became more and more lazy, and the three of them woke up the sleeping Nangong Nianxi, Nangong Nianxi felt sorry for his beauty sleep! Sitting on the bed, still wandering with her eyes closed, Xiaoyu pulled her, afraid that she would fall asleep and fall asleep.

Yun Yue secretly smiled and said, "Miss! You said that you were seen by the Nine Princes like this, but how good it is, is it shameful! ”

Nangong Nianxi opened one eye and replied: "He's not here now, no one can see me like this, what's the shame?" ”

"But! The Nine Kings Mansion sent someone today, saying that it was a gift for Miss, Miss, you won't just go to meet guests! ”

Nangong Nianxi raised his head, suddenly sobered up, and asked, "Gift-giving?" ”

suddenly remembered that Ming Haoxuan seemed to say that he wanted to surprise himself last night. Is it just a surprise for yourself? ”

"Ah~ Quick! You three dress me up, and I'm going to have a visit. ”

Several people were busy tossing and turning, and finally dressed up the young lady.

I saw Nangong Nianxi wearing a blue floor-length dress, embroidered with plum blossoms at the corners of the skirt, and a butterfly stayed on the plum blossoms. He wore a pink jacket and a snow-white brocade ribbon tied around his waist with a beautiful bow.

A handsome nose, a little red on the thin lips, skin like snow, a flying cloud bun on the head, two strands draped over the chest, obliquely inserted a silver moon stick, on which the pearl is worn into the pendant. The whole person looks simple and elegant, without losing his temperament.

Shi Yu opened the door, and Yunyue put the purple cloak on Nangong Nianxi's body, and Nangong Nianxi took Shi Yu and Xiaoyu to the front hall.

At this time, Nangong Wen had not yet returned from the palace to do business. Therefore, the people from the Nine Princes' Mansion, the person in charge of the reception is the housekeeper Xu Yuru, Nangong remembered the past and came, Xu Yuru took a look, and said in his heart: "In the past, this timid slut should not stay, and now he is high everywhere His own green and soft head, the Su housekeeper sent by the palace is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he has to open the gift in front of the slut. ”

Sitting in the lobby, I had to accompany and wait for Nangong Nianxi together, waiting impatiently, I saw Nangong Nianxi's shadow, so I pretended to speak: "Chunlan!" Go and rush! Let's see why the eldest lady hasn't come yet, don't let Steward Su wait. ”

Su Xiang still said with a signature smile: "Second lady! No hurry! When Miss Nangong came out to meet guests, she was bound to dress up. ”

Xu Yuru said angrily in her heart: "You're not in a hurry, I'm too lazy to wait for her!" But his face was silent, and he watched Nangong Nianxi and the three of them walk in.

Nangong Nianxi raised his head and looked at Xu Yuru with a perfunctory smile on her face, seeing that she had walked in, and said something like that, she was obviously impatient to wait.

So he stepped forward and said, "Say hello to the second aunt!" Steward Su is good recently! ”

Su Xiang looked at Nangong Nianxi and greeted him with a smile, he felt weak, and hurriedly got up, not daring to look at her, and then said, "Miss Nangong!" The subordinates came to give gifts on the orders of the prince! The prince said that this was the clothes he specially wore for the young lady's palace banquet. ”

Before Nangong Nianxi could speak, Xu Yuru was the first to speak: "It's really the prince of Lao, the clothes we read in the past, I, the housewife, have already prepared them, don't bother the prince." ”

"Second aunt! Anyway, this is a part of the prince's heart, how can you not accept it? Su Xiang, open it and let my aunt take a look, if the clothes sent by the prince are not as good as those prepared for me by the second aunt, I will wear the ones prepared by the second aunt when I go to the palace banquet, and it also shows that the second aunt attaches importance to me, the eldest lady. ”

"Okay!" After speaking, no matter what Xu Yuru's attitude was, he came to the table and opened the big box at the bottom, opened it and took a look, so that Shi Yu and Xiaoyu who were standing behind him had their eyes wide open, and they were shining with gold.

Nangong Nianxi was also bright, but it was still not as exaggerated as Shi Yu and Xiaoyu.

Xu Yuru sat on the top seat, saw that several people were silent, very curious, slowly stood up, and said as she walked: "Isn't it just a dress!" Just fuss? After speaking, he looked down, and still chuckled in his heart: "This ...... Isn't this a gold button peony pattern Shu brocade clothes? ”

"Not bad! Precisely! ”

Xu Yuru suddenly came to her senses, and she was not bored, and said in surprise: "This dress is the treasure of the town store of Jinxiufang, no matter how much gold and silver jewelry is sold in the court, Mo Jinxiu's posthumous work can't be bought?" ”

"Yes! The prince has some friendship with the current owner, so he gave it to our prince. Su Xiang said lightly.

In Nangong Nianxi's opinion, this dress is definitely something that Xu Yuru has been watching for a long time and can't get, and there is a greedy gaze in her eyes.

Xu Yuru said in her heart: "It's a gift or not a bought, how can this fool have such a friendship with Jinxiufang." "Squinting at Nangong Nianxi, I saw that her face was unwavering, I really haven't seen the world, if I don't know the goods, can I ......?"

Just thinking about it, Su Xiang had already opened another box, and there were two identical hairpins in it. Xu Yuru looked at the hairpin and snorted disdainfully: "If you want to say that the dress just now is worth a fortune, but these two hostas are not worthy of this dress." ”

Su Xiang ignored what she said, anyway, the gift was given to the future princess, not to her, so what was the use of worrying too much with her. So he spoke: "Miss Nangong! At this time, the prince's friend brought the hairpin made of ivory from the south, and the prince was processed by a special person, knowing that the young lady liked plum blossoms, and specially polished the hairpin, and the prince named it "ivory plum hairpin".

Nangong Nianxi picked up one of them, she knew that it was illegal to resell ivory in modern times, and ivory could not be traded casually in ancient times, but she liked this hairpin very much, the color was slightly yellow, the texture was delicate and slender, one end was round and smooth, and the other end was the shape of the plum blossom when it was in full bloom. ”

Nangong Nianxi took it in his hand and said, "I like it!" This is engraved by the prince himself, I like it. But please tell the prince that ivory is a rare species, and it cannot be killed casually, and there is no killing without buying and selling. ”

"Okay! I will tell the prince word for word! The prince has an explanation, and the young lady must wear this dress to the banquet tomorrow. ”

"Good! I will definitely wear it! ”

"The villain is gone!" After speaking, his eyes glanced at the small fish standing behind him, intentionally or unintentionally, and then turned and left the hall.

Xu Yuru's eyes stared at the gold button peony pattern Shu brocade robe stupidly, and Nangong Nianxi instructed: "Shi Yu and Xiaoyu move things back to Youlan Courtyard, tomorrow is the New Year, let's go back and prepare." ”

"Yes!" After the two of them answered, they covered the box and took the things away in front of Xu Yuru's eyes.

Nangong Nianxi looked at her greedy gaze still staring at the box, and laughed in her heart: "I'm old, I still care so much about material requirements, and I can't wear this dress even if I give it to her." ”

Thinking of this, she spoke: "Second aunt! I'll go back to my room first. ”

Seeing that her eyes were still firmly fixed in the direction of the box, he ignored her and walked out of the living room. Facing Nangong Qingrou, she walked in with the maid and the maid.

Nangong Qingrou and Nangong Nianxi said hello and walked into the hall. Seeing his mother's unruly appearance, he asked, "Mother! What are you thinking so intrigued about? ”

"Remembering the past!" Xu Yuru came to her senses and shouted at her daughter.

"What nostalgia? I'm your daughter Qingrou! The little slut had just left the hall. ”

Xu Yuru really came to her senses at this time, and then told her daughter about what happened in the hall.
