It snowed all night in the capital, and the next day was a sunny day.

The snow had almost melted the night before, and the market was gradually bustling with activity, as if the gloom of yesterday was gone.

The eldest princess specially set up a family banquet in Nuanxiangwu today.

In fact, it was a family banquet, but it was just her and Ning Shuyan.

When Ning Shuyan arrived in a hurry, she saw the eldest princess sitting in the warm incense dock looking at the lotus flower in a daze.

Although it is now early winter, this warm incense dock is using the hot spring water that I don't know where it came from, and even in this winter, lotus flowers can still be seen in the eldest princess's mansion.

Just this alone is enough to see the importance of this eldest princess's status in front of the emperor.

I think it was also in a season when lotus flowers were blooming, and the eldest princess was forced to send her daughter away because of persecution.

Since then, the eldest princess has rarely seen this lotus flower, and this warm incense dock has been abandoned for many years.

It wasn't until Ning Shuyan was retrieved this time that the eldest princess ordered someone to clean it up again.

Today's banquet is set here, and the eldest princess naturally has her own intentions.

"Mother, what are you looking at, so fascinated?" A crisp voice unique to a girl sounded in this warm incense dock.

I saw that today Ning Shuyan was wearing a new moon-white embroidered jacket, with a pleated Ruyi moon skirt underneath, a pair of gold-silk red sheepskin boots on her feet, a gold belt on her waist, and a fiery red fox fur on the outside.

After entering this warm incense dock, Ning Shuyan untied the fox fur and handed it to the waiting maid, and walked over to the eldest princess with a smile.

"Yan'er is here, come and sit next to her mother."

I saw Ning Shuyan with a bright smile, and sat beside the eldest princess with a little daughter's coquettishness.

The eldest princess held Ning Shuyan's hand while worrying: "Why don't you let someone hold you a soup woman, you see that this hand is going to freeze." ”

"Thank you mother for your concern," Ning Shuyan let the eldest princess hold her hand, and Ying Ying smiled, "But my daughter is used to it, in the past, in the countryside to help her adoptive mother share the housework, in winter, my daughter also has to do laundry." ”

It was a normal care between mother and daughter, but Ning Shuyan's words changed its taste.

Ning Shuyan is a smart person and knows that the eldest princess has always felt guilty about her daughter.

The so-called concern is chaos, and it is precisely because of this that she used the eldest princess to help her achieve her goals.

"Yan'er has suffered all these years, it seems that the adoptive mother is not good to you, in this case, why don't you make a will from your mother and let people send her to a remote place." The eldest princess frowned as she spoke.

Seeing this, Ning Shuyan hurriedly spoke: "No." ”

seemed to feel his gaffe, so he changed into a virtuous look and said: "Those are no wonder the adoptive mother, it is also my own volition, although the conditions at home are not good, but the adoptive mother treats me as if I was my own, otherwise how would I bring my daughter over to find her mother?" ”

"Speaking of which, my mother never asked before, how did Yan'er know her identity?"

Ning Shuyan's face was a little flustered when she heard this, she didn't expect the eldest princess to ask such a question: "This ...... It was also the adoptive mother who learned that her mother was looking for her daughter who was left behind, and remembered that her daughter had a jade pendant, which just matched, so she told her daughter. ”

If it is said that ordinary people can't afford to provoke the powerful and dare not harbor the daughter of the eldest princess privately, it is reasonable.

But if it was really like what Ning Shuyan said, her adoptive mother treated her very well, and she had just learned about her life experience, how could she be willing to recognize her mother so quickly?

The panic on Ning Shuyan's face, the eldest princess didn't miss it.

"Are those things still there when your adoptive mother picked you up?" The eldest princess said unintentionally.

Ning Shuyan was an impostor, so how did she know what was on the baby girl at that time.

At this moment, facing the eldest princess's questioning, Ning Shuyan's heart became more and more empty.

But if you can't answer properly, I'm afraid that the eldest princess will be suspicious.

Damn Zhong Xiaoshu, if she hadn't blocked her in front of her three times and twice, how could she be so frightened now?

Ning Shuyan silently made a note for Zhong Xiaoshu in her heart, but her face was silent and dazed: "Something? What does a mother mean? ”

How did the eldest princess not know that Ning Shuyan was dealing with herself, so she said as if in retrospect: "When your mother sent you away, she actually put two jade pendants, did your adoptive mother tell you about this?" ”

These words hit Ning Shuyan's heart like a bell.

Two jade pendants? Isn't there another piece on Zhong Xiaoshu's body?

Ning Shuyan was afraid that the eldest princess would see that something was wrong, and after a moment of nervousness, she hurriedly eased her mind.

If Zhong Xiaoshu really had a piece, I was afraid that she would harm her three times and twice, and she would have already revealed her identity to the eldest princess.

Since there is none, then the jade pendant probably doesn't know where it has gone.

This opportunity is so good, she might as well solve this scourge.

"This adoptive mother naturally told her daughter, but at that time, the family was poor, and the adoptive mother picked up her daughter again, and she couldn't survive for a while, so she sold a piece." When Ning Shuyan said this, she made a tearful look, and she was pitiful.

How could there be two jade pendants back then, it was just a means of temptation.

It's just that when she asked this, the eldest princess also understood a little in her heart, and if she asked again, she was afraid that Ning Shuyan would be suspicious.

The eldest princess patted Ning Shuyan's soft cheeks, and said pityingly: "Okay, okay, today is a good family banquet, mother shouldn't say these things, try this dish, mother specially made what you love to eat." ”

Ning Shuyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she was still right.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that the eldest princess would have been suspicious for a long time, and how could she be the same as before.

If the two of them don't talk about these unpleasant things, it will really be a picture of mother and son's filial piety.

The atmosphere of the ensuing meal was as harmonious as usual.

It's just that after today's warm incense dock banquet, the doubt in the eldest princess's heart has been magnified.

It's infinitely close to the truth, but it's like being in the middle of a fog.

Xu is eldest princess still has too many doubts in her heart that have not been solved, and Xu is eldest princess still can't believe it in her heart.

The woman who helped Ning Shuyan to make things difficult and framed in every possible way turned out to be her own daughter.

If that's the case, she doesn't know how to face her daughter.
