This night, Gan Peilin looked at the account books in the house and Ao Li's way of doing things, and didn't care about anything else.

It wasn't until the next morning that she woke up and remembered that Jiang Yu didn't seem to have come back all night.

Because she had to enter the palace before noon, and her dress had to be according to the rules of the wife, she didn't dare to be sloppy, so she got up early to bathe.

Just as the silk was scattered in the warm fragrant soup, and before he had time to suck the fragrance of the petals, the swallow walked in with a letter.

"Ma'am, this is a little guy who just brought in. It is said that the fifth aunt and wife of Ganfu must be handed over to you. ”

"Open it and take a look." Gan Peilin didn't pay much attention.

Yanzi opened the letter as she said, and said while reading it: "The letterhead said that Concubine Yun returned to Ganfu yesterday, and she chatted with Da Sima in the study for a long time. After she left, Da Sima asked people to count the treasury in the house, asked someone to count more than 100 jars of wine, and sent it to the palace overnight. ”

"None?" Gan Peilin listened attentively, and the swallow stopped.

"Nope." The swallow nodded truthfully. "That's all on the letterhead."

"It must be the fifth aunt's wife, Wang, who thinks this matter is strange, so she wrote to tell me." What made Gan Peilin feel strange was what she was suspicious of, and why didn't she say it clearly on letterhead?

"Do you want the slave to have someone check the wine?" Swallow asked with a frown.

Gan Peilin stared and said: "The wine was sent to the palace overnight, and I am afraid it will be inconvenient to check it now." For one, you don't know where to store it. Second, the heart of guarding against others is indispensable, in case in the process of thorough investigation, someone is framed and moved, wouldn't it be self-inflicted. ”

"Madame......" swallowed the words that came to her lips.

"Yes." Gan Peilin generously admitted: "I don't believe in Gan Wanyun. Not only did he not believe her, but he also had many doubts. Before she suddenly lost her son, she had already begun to murder her mother. The mother and daughter, who have been dependent on each other for more than ten years, have not escaped the word power, what trust can I have in her. Moreover, in order to survive now, she has taken refuge in the queen. The queen said that my mother had saved her, so she tolerated me and helped me so many times, and she has done her best. There won't be any more. ”

"That'......" Swallow was a little worried.

"Before entering the palace, everyone takes good antidote medicine in case of emergency." Gan Peilin said: "When the situation is uncertain, prevention is inevitable. ”

"Madame, don't worry, the slave and maid understand." Swallow said no more.

Soon, Gan Peilin finished bathing, changing clothes, putting on makeup, and putting on accessories. I felt that the whole person sank for a while. In particular, the golden hairpins, collars and bracelets that the women had to wear were quite uncomfortable to press on their bodies.

Of course, Ao Li couldn't share a carriage with her, so she waited for Gan Peilin to leave the mansion before she got into another carriage.

"Auntie, the slave really doesn't understand." Zi Su was a little unhappy and pouted: "Obviously, the queen mother rewarded you with a set of phoenix tail gold ornaments." It was given by the queen mother, above board, why don't you wear it today, show your luxury, and let people know that the queen thinks differently of you. ”

"Today is beautiful, so what about tomorrow?" Ao Li smiled faintly: "I'm in the limelight in the palace, what will happen when I return home?" Shisu, the queen mother can protect us for a while, but for a long time, we have to spend it under the hands of Mrs. Why bother yourself for the sake of a moment? ”

Shisu opened his mouth and didn't speak for a long time.

The carriage went all the way into the palace and got off outside the designated palace gate. At this time, Gan Peilin saw that Ao Li's carriage was following from a distance, only a coachman was driving, and there was not even a guard accompanying him.

It's not like she rides in the royal carriage, not to mention, there is a large number of guards behind her. is full of the style of a genuine lady.

Thinking about this, it should have been arranged by Ao Li early in the morning.

"Be careful, ma'am." The swallow helped Gan Peilin get out of the car.

Ryulan and Crispy Core followed behind.

She went straight inside, and Ao Li got out of the car and followed.

Unexpectedly, it was not the people around the queen who came forward. It's Princess Ting.

"I guess it's about the same time. Just come here and wait for Madame. Xuan Ting walked over with a smile and took her hand warmly: "Madame, come with me." ”

"Something is wrong with the princess?" Gan Peilin looked at Xuan Ting puzzled.

"Don't worry, you can't delay Madame to say hello to the queen." Xuan Ting took her hand and walked a little hurriedly.

Gan Peilin deliberately "hissed" in pain.

Xuan Ting hurriedly lowered her head and looked at her wrist carefully: "Did I hurt Madame?" It's reckless. ”

"No, it's fine." Gan Peilin withdrew his hand and asked, "Where is the princess taking me?" Is there anything that matters? ”

"I just got a very special flower. I heard that it grew up on a middle-aged snow-capped mountain. I'd like to take Madame to see it. Xuan Ting smiled from ear to ear.

Gan Peilin was wondering what was there to see about the flower, when he saw the maid coming over with a brocade box.

"Right here." Xuan Ting's face was filled with joy.

The maidservant brought the brocade box. "Madame, please."

Gan Peilin opened the brocade box, and it was indeed a snow lotus.

But this flower, she has not never seen it, although it is rare, but it is not a rare thing.

"This is ......" Xuan Ting's cheeks gave birth to a hint of crimson: "He gave it to me." ”

"I see." Gan Peilin smiled warmly: "With this heart, it is commendable, and the princess is naturally happy." ”

"Hmm." Xuan Ting held Gan Peilin's hand again: "Madam, do you know that this is the first thing he gave me." Those gold and silver silk are all dotted by Ao Fu, and they have nothing to do with him. But this snow lotus was asked by him to come to me as a token of love. He held it in his own hands and brought it to me. ”

When she said this, the smile on Xuan Ting's face was full of sweetness.

Even Gan Peilin was infected by her. "That's good."

"yes." Xuan Ting waved her hand and asked the maid to put it away carefully. "Madame, I have never been happier than I am now. Although my father also gave me a lot of things that I liked, the feeling was different. ”

"yes." Although Gan Peilin was perfunctory, she tried not to let her see the perfunctory.

Before the two of them took two steps, they saw Ao Xuan and Jiang Yu walking this way.

It is also strange to say that Xu Baisen also followed behind the two, but he looked kind.

"Ao Sue." Xuan Ting walked towards him happily: "I just showed Madame the snow lotus you gave me." Madame is very happy for me. ”

“……”

These words embarrassed Gan Peilin.

Why it's embarrassing, she can't say it herself.

Jiang Yu walked over and looked at Gan Peilin with heavy eyebrows. I must have not eaten well in the past few days, and my cheeks are thin and there is no meat. Thinking so, he couldn't help but raise his hand and want to pinch her cheek.

Gan Peilin deliberately stroked his face, stopped, and didn't walk in front of Jiang Yu again. "The Grand Governor."

Ao Xuan's afterglow has been falling on these two people, although he has Xuan Ting in mind on the surface.

"Peilin, I have good news for you." Xu Baisen walked over quickly and dragged Gan Peilin aside without hesitation. "I'm going to go right away."

"That's not good news." Gan Peilin pouted: "You know, I still hope you ......"

"Okay. Don't talk about that. Xu Baisen interrupted her: "Let's hurry up to the banquet." Wait a minute, I have to say hello to the emperor and queen. At this time, eighty percent of the foreign envoys had already arrived. ”

"Okay." Gan Peilin nodded and followed Xu Baisen to walk forward slowly.

It was also this kung fu that Ao Li walked to Ao Xuan's side.

"Why didn't the eldest sister wear the golden hairpin of the phoenix throne that the queen rewarded you?" Ao Xuan frowned and asked.

"Even you know this?" Ao Li couldn't help but be a little strange.

"The golden hairpin rewarded by the queen's mother was handed over to Jiang Yu by the emperor and brought back to your house." Ao Xuan said truthfully: "Why didn't my good brother-in-law tell you? ”

The words "......" left Ao Li speechless.

On that day, Ao Xuan asked people to summon Shiso over and brought the golden hairpin back. Said it was rewarded by the queen. Nothing else. Even such a valuable reward was not given to her by Jiang Yu himself.

"It's also strange that my good brother-in-law doesn't care about you or the new lady? Could it be that you have a new love? Ao asked deliberately.

Xuan Ting, who was on the side, couldn't help but smile embarrassedly when she heard this: "How can we outsiders know about the affairs of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion." How embarrassing it is for you to ask like this, so much for my sister. ”

Ao Xuan didn't say anything, she really didn't want to deal with Xuan Ting.

"It doesn't matter." Ao Li had no choice but to play a round: "I'm used to it." But it's true that there was a newly elected maid who had recently entered the house, which was quite eye-catching. Or was it personally selected by the lady. ”

The anger in Ao Xuan's heart rushed upward.

He racked his brains and worked hard, but the person he couldn't ask for was easily left behind in just over a month.

"Ao Xuan, do you really want the young master of the Xu family to follow you on the expedition?" Ao Li suddenly asked.

"The eldest sister doesn't have to pay attention to these things." Ao Xuan wasn't going to say anything to her.

"But...... The reactivation of the Xu family is not a good thing for us. So many people in the court ......"

"Eldest sister." Ao Xuan interrupted her impatiently: "Talking about the affairs of the house is to care about you as the second brother." Politics is really not something you need to pay attention to. ”

"Where do I have to pay attention to the government, I am worried about the Ao family, I am worried about you." Ao Li said with some grievances: "The only one I can rely on is the Ao family." ”

"How can my sister say such discouraged words." Xuan Ting smiled and said, "I think the Metropolitan Governor is a reliable person. will definitely not treat my sister badly. ”

When these words were said coldly, Ao Xuan and Ao Li fell silent.

Xuan Ting saw that the atmosphere was really bad, and she didn't know what to say, so she could only hang her head, a little unhappy.

The group went to the main palace of the banquet guests, and met many prominent guests along the way.

Everyone was red and beaming.

The liveliness in this palace has always been the same.
