Although Yan Yan was unusually determined to send Mrs. Zhou away, her mood was somewhat affected.

On the one hand, it is because of himself, or for the original owner; On the other hand, it is for Zhou Wan, if her father's affairs are not handled well, she will definitely be implicated.

Such a simple and lively little girl, if there is really some accident because of her father, this life will be ruined.

However, after calming down and thinking about it for a while, Yan Yan felt that there were many irregularities in Mrs. Zhou's words, for example, whether the so-called court official was indeed a person or made up in order to win Yan Yan's sympathy.

Under normal circumstances, if you don't look at the monk's face, you have to look at the Buddha's face, although Mrs. Zhou's husband is just a four-grade official sent abroad, but the Zhu family is the family of the Hou Mansion, and the brothers and sisters of Mrs. Zhou's mother's family are by no means ordinary people, not to mention others, Zhu is not the head of the Zhenguo Mansion of the head of the four princes, she also has a brother-in-law who is the current household servant, how dare that court official humiliate Mrs. Zhou so much?

Also, why did Mrs. Zhou give up the near and far, and let these maiden relatives not ask for an outsider?

But if the Lu family and the Zhu family can't solve this matter, which other official in the imperial court dares to stretch out his hand?

Could it be that because Mrs. Zhou's maiden relatives are all military generals, it is difficult to meddle in the affairs of civil officials, so Mrs. Zhou has to ask for those civil officials?

But the only civil officials who dare not sell the face of these military generals are the prime ministers and Dali Siqing and the imperial envoys of the left and right, and this does not include Xu Liangxing.

Xu Liangxing and the Lu family are good friends, which can be seen from the relationship between Xu Yu and Lu Ming and Xu Ruqing following her mother into the Lu family several times.

It's a pity that Yan Yan is really not familiar with these court officials, so it is not clear who has an adult foolish son who has not yet married.

However, she took this opportunity to determine one thing, Zhou Wan's father should have committed a lot of things, so neither the Zhu family nor the Lu family wanted to interfere.

But it's not right to think about it this way, Mrs. Lu is still thinking about telling Zhou Wan to Lu Yong, could it be that she doesn't know the reason?

In other words, Zhu hid this matter and did not tell the old lady.

But why would she do it? Do you want to promote this family business?

Isn't she afraid that Zhou Wan's father will be implicated in the Lu family after the incident?

Yan Yan, who couldn't figure it out, quickly let go of the matter, because her birthday was approaching again, and Mrs. Lu and the Zhu family specially sent someone to ask her for her opinion, asking her how she wanted to spend her life, whether to invite a group of relatives and friends from the Lu family to have a small gathering or hold a small gathering or a gathering between relatives and friends in Mingyuan.

Yan Yan refused, because in this way, she had to invite Ma and Yan Yu to come, in addition to Lu Han and Zhu's maiden relatives, etc., she was also impatient to receive these people, this is one thing, and second, she is afraid that the rumors will come out again after it is easy to calm down, she doesn't want to go through it again.

But who knew that on May 15, she went to the palace to see the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother also mentioned this matter, saying that she didn't have a good birthday in the old year, and she made up for it this year.

The Queen Mother spoke, and Yan Yan couldn't refuse.

Who knew that to Yan Yan's surprise, the Queen Mother not only invited the female dependents of the Yan and Lu families, but also invited the ladies and young ladies who participated in Yan Yan's New Year's Ceremony that day, including the Yongping Hou Meng family, that is, Yan Yan's foreign family, Yan Yan's maternal grandmother and eldest aunts Tian and Meng Jing; There is Mrs. Wu of the Wu family, the protector of the country, with Wu Xu; There is Lu Jing, the Duchess of Zhiguo, with her little daughter; There are also Zhu's sisters-in-law and niece, as well as the Yun family's Jing family and Yunni Yunshang, etc., there are about 30 people.

The queen mother arranged the seats according to the pomp and circumstance of her birthday, and also placed a circle of low tables on both sides of the main hall, the queen, the crown princess and several princesses, as well as the daughters of Yan Luyun's three families sat in the east, and the ladies of those families sat in the west.

Yan Yan was originally sitting with Mrs. Lu, Zhu and Yan Yu, but the Queen Mother called Yan Yan over and ordered her to sit in the first position in the west, opposite the queen.

"Summoning everyone today is to make up for our Yan'er a New Year's gift, and to make up for the unfinished ceremony in the old year, which can be regarded as a compensation for the child. Speaking of which, we Yan'er really can't endure a lot of hardships this year, but fortunately, this child is open-minded by nature, and has not persuaded the mourning family less, saying that individuals have personal fate, you can't hide, it's not that you can't chase after you. The mourning family looked coldly, and after a year, this child not only trained her husband to be a normal person who could speak, but also sent him to Songlu Academy to worship under the name of Mr. Ji. In addition, because her husband was not good at secular affairs, this child had to take over these affairs by herself, and it was not easy for a girl to support such a big family, so the mourning family thought about organizing this birthday for her, and holding a New Year's gift to make up for the shortcomings of the old year, and at the same time to correct the child's name, our Yan'er is not a woman who is immoral, and the incident that day was just an accident. The Queen Mother said an opening remark.

As soon as the Queen Mother's words were finished, a palace maid had already walked to the middle of the hall and spread a mat, and then, another palace maid came over to help Yan Yan and said that she was going to change clothes.

"Don't worry, your clothes were prepared for you by your prince and sister-in-law, a full set, she said early in the morning, today she will be your praiser, and the queen will be your female guest, don't you go and thank these two people soon." Seeing that Yan Yan was standing still, the Queen Mother seemed to be a little sluggish, so she hurriedly mentioned something.

Yan Yan is indeed a little blind, on the one hand, she didn't expect to make up the New Year's Ceremony, she thought it was just an ordinary birthday, but because it was done in the palace, and there were female dependents of the Yan and Lu families, she had to dress up.

Although she prepared a set of clothes just in case of accidents, she didn't prepare the costumes for the New Year's ceremony.

On the other hand, she saw that the Queen Mother specially pointed out that the incident was an accident, and guessed that the Queen Mother must have known about the contradiction between Yan Yan and Yan Yu and Lu Ming recently, so she took this opportunity to say that she was in agreement, and at the same time, she also refuted the rumors for Yan Yu.

Since Yan Yan was hit by an accident, Yan Yu and Lu Ming's engagement was naturally not discussed in advance.

But whose idea is this supplementary New Year's gift?

You must know that when Yan Yan came on the fifteenth, the Queen Mother only said that she would invite the female dependents of the Yan and Lu families to have a small gathering, and did not mention any New Year's ceremony, let alone invite these ladies and ladies of the family together.

In a flash of lightning, Yan Yan thought of the emperor, and only the emperor can persuade the queen mother and invite the queen, right?
