Xiao Min took the jade bottle from Yahuan's hand, and presented it to Xiao Guifei with both hands: "Niangniang, this is the flower dew I made myself."

"It is made of the essence of peony, peony, pear blossom, narcissus and other flowers, plus several herbs such as Ganoderma lucidum.

"When applied to the body, it not only smells pleasant, but also moisturizes the skin.

"If the mother doesn't dislike it, let the grandmother check it and try it on your hand first."

Cheng Ming stepped forward and took the jade bottle.

Xiao Guifei smiled: "Amin has a heart. ”

Seeing that Concubine Xiao accepted Xiao Min's gift, several other ladies also offered their gifts, hoping to leave a good impression in Concubine Xiao's heart.

Xiao Guifei did not refuse to come, and they all accepted it with a smile, making them feel that Xiao Guifei was not like a majestic concubine, but like their elders, amiable.

"No one can come in without the mother's orders."

"Get out of the way, I'm the second lady of the Xiao family, who dares to stop it."

There was a commotion outside, and Cheng Ming bowed down and said, "Niangniang, the slave maid go and take a look." ”

As soon as she took a step, Xiao Hui had already broken in.

Xiao Hui put away her angry face, tidied up her clothes, revealed the most delicate posture and expression, walked in front of Xiao Guifei, and showed her noble demeanor as a young lady from a famous family.

She smiled and lightly opened her red lips: "Xiao Hui greets my aunt." ”

Cheng Ming scolded: "Bold, this is the concubine Niangniang." ”

Xiao Hui was so frightened that her body trembled, and then she saw that Xiao Guifei's expression was very gloomy, and she knelt on the ground: "Xiao Hui give... Ladies and gentlemen, please be in peace. ”

Xiao Guifei slowly picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea.

The people in the courtyard all lowered their heads and did not dare to come out.

After a long time, Xiao Min was thinking about whether to intercede for Xiao Hui, when he heard Xiao Guifei put the teacup heavily on the table: "I heard that you were grounded, why did you come here?" ”

Xiao Hui said worriedly: "Xiao Hui hasn't seen her aunt for many years, and she misses it very much, and she still remembers that her aunt was the best to me when she was a child."

"Even if I am punished by my grandmother, I will come to see my aunt."

Xiao Guifei didn't know what she thought of from her words, her face softened, and she said lightly: "Your mind is known to this palace."

"This palace will intercede with your mother on your behalf, and you will be exempted from the sin of leaving the yard without permission."

"Thank you, Auntie." Xiao Hui was overjoyed, and when she saw Xiao Guifei's eyes drifting over, she immediately changed her words and said, "Thank you, Niangniang." ”

Xiao Guifei retracted her gaze, "You are still grounded, just go back." ”

"But..."

"Huh?"

For some reason, the light look of her aunt, who loved her in the past, made her feel very frightened.

Xiao Hui didn't dare to say more, and kowtowed: "Please take care of your body, Xiao Hui will retire." ”

After Xiao Hui left, although Xiao Min and the girls tried their best to make Xiao Guifei happy, Xiao Guifei just couldn't keep her spirits up.

"The palace is tired, you go down." Xiao Guifei waved her hand lazily.

As a result, Xiao Min and the others also retired.

Cheng Ming looked at Xiao Guifei with concern: "Niangniang, do you want to go to the back room to rest for a while?" The layout here is exactly the same as before the mother got married. ”

Xiao Guifei's face was a little moved: "It's okay." ”

As soon as he walked to the back room, the eighth prince ran in: "Mother, mother." ”

When Concubine Xiao Guifei saw him, her gaze became very gentle: "Kun'er is back, are you having fun?" ”

"Well, happy." The smile on the face of the eighth prince was very real, and at first glance, he knew that he was having a good time.

Xiao Guifei looked at the thing in his hand and asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

Hearing her ask about this, the Eighth Prince was very excited: "This is a kaleidoscope, an imported product from the West.

"Mother, show you, you can see different scenery inside."

said and demonstrated, and then handed it to Xiao Guifei.

Xiao Guifei took it in disbelief and looked at the kaleidoscope.

"It's amazing." Xiao Guifei was amazed.

After looking at it for a while, Xiao Guifei asked, "Who gave this to you?" ”

The eighth prince touched the kaleidoscope lovingly, and said, "This was given to me by the ninth cousin." ”

Xiao Jiu?

Xiao Guifei smiled and continued to ask, "Then what gifts did the other cousins give you?" ”

The eighth prince folded his hands and counted: "The eldest cousin gave me a painting, and the second cousin gave me a copybook..."

......

Time always flies quickly, after the family banquet, Xiao Guifei talked to everyone, and she was ready to go back soon.

Cheng Ming reminded: "Niangniang, the hour is almost up, we have to go back before the palace ban." ”

Concubine Xiao paused for a moment and said to Old Madam Xiao: "Mother, I like Amin and Weiwei very much, and I want to take them to the palace for two days. ”

Old Madam Xiao smiled: "This is their blessing, of course there is no problem." ”

"Nope." An abrupt voice rang out.

Xiao Guifei looked over, but it was Yang Huijun who stood up and said, "I don't agree." ”

Xiao Linhui secretly pulled her sleeve and whispered, "Madam, pay attention to the tone of your voice, she can..."

Yang Huijun glanced over, and Xiao Linhui immediately closed his mouth.

Concubine Xiao Guifei sank her face: "What, do I still need to ask you for instructions when doing things in this palace?" ”

Xiao Linhui didn't dare to speak, but she still pulled Yang Huijun's sleeve and reminded her not to be rash.

Of course, Yang Huijun understood what he meant, endured it, lowered his eyes and said, "That's not what the courtiers meant.

"The courtier's meaning is that Weiwei is still grounded and can't go out of the yard."

Concubine Xiao Guifei continued: "This palace is in charge and has lifted her grounding. ”

"Mother, is it okay?"

Old Madam Xiao was very cooperative: "Of course there is no problem. ”

Yang Huijun said again: "Weiwei is young and doesn't understand the rules of the palace, and the courtiers are afraid that Weiwei will cause trouble to the mother." ”

"Don't be afraid, this palace will make it clear to Your Majesty, and it will not delve into the rules of etiquette, everything is like being at home."

No matter what Yang Huijun said, Xiao Guifei always had something to block her and make her speechless.

In the end, Yang Huijun's temper came up, and she said bluntly: "Anyway, I don't agree to enter the palace slightly, I am her mother, and I have the final say." ”

Xiao Guifei stood up, walked in front of her and confronted her, and her tone was very tough: "Here, this palace has the final say."

"This palace said that you want to take Xiao Lingwei into the palace, what can you do?"

"You..." Yang Huijun was speechless, gritted her teeth and glared at Xiao Guifei, her right hand secretly clenched into a fist.

When Xiao Linhui saw her hand, he hurriedly held her fist and persuaded in a low voice: "Don't be impulsive, she is a concubine." ”

He looked at Concubine Xiao with a smile and said, "Concubine Niangniang is Weiwei's aunt, and she will definitely take good care of Weiwei."

"Mother, you said yes?"

Concubine Xiao Guifei hooked the corners of her mouth: "Of course, this palace will definitely take good care of Weiwei... and Amin's. ”

For some reason, Yang Huijun heard the meaning of gritting her teeth from her words.

"Alright, that's it." Old Madam Xiao made a final decision: "Amin, you go and clean up, and follow Niangniang into the palace later."

"Remember, the palace is no better than the Xiao Mansion, you must be cautious in your words and deeds."

Xiao Min lowered his ecstatic eyes and said respectfully: "Yes, Amin remembered." ”

Old Madam Xiao looked at Yang Huijun, who was full of displeasure, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes: "Okay, you also go and clean up for Weiwei, don't lose your manners." ”

Yang Huijun didn't answer.

Concubine Xiao said: "You don't have to pack up your things, there is everything in the palace, and you can't bring the ring." ”

Xiao Linhui pulled Yang Huijun, and when she didn't speak, she said, "Then let's go and change Weiwei's clothes." ”

Old Madam Xiao advised: "Hurry up, don't delay the time for the mother to return to the palace." ”

"Yes." Xiao Linhui pulled Yang Huijun out.

Concubine Xiao Guifei wants to take the two girls into the palace, some people are happy and some are sad, some people are envious and some are jealous, and everyone in Xiao Mansion can be described as having mixed tastes.
