Old lady Duanmu came to the imperial capital for medical treatment at this knuckle, although it was not simple, but the pomp and circumstance when she arrived was not big.

After all, the former status of the clan woman, and the current situation of guarding the mausoleum, do not allow her to be publicized.

It was the Jian family who discussed and decided that Jian Limiao would lead Jian Xubai and his wife out to greet him, and the others would wait for the old lady to enter the city before going to greet him.

This is mainly due to the fact that Jian Likuang and Jian Yi are still the lords, and it is the female elders who come back, if they come out to greet them, their wives should also accompany them, and the princess will swing her manners, how can she be low-key?

But this morning, Song Yixiao was dressed up, but a waiter came to the palace, saying that she was ordered by the queen mother to summon her to enter the palace immediately.

The husband and wife who were about to go out were naturally very surprised, but the waiter was purely ordered to run an errand, and he didn't know the cause and effect, so he only said: "Aunt Yuguo said, please go as soon as possible!" ”

"It may have something to do with what King Yi is investigating during this time, but since it was the emperor's grandmother who sent someone to summon you, it is obvious that the emperor's grandmother will not stand idly by." Jian Xubai asked the maid to take a purse and give it to the waiter, asked him to wait a while, and pulled his wife to the side and said, "You can just follow the emperor's grandmother when the time comes!" ”

Song Yixiao thought about it, and she really needed to enter the palace by herself recently-she didn't want to go to Qingxi Palace, but it was Yuguo who followed her and said, "The Queen Mother is a little tired, so she went inside to rest first, and told the slave maid to wait for you here!" ”

"There's Aunt Lao!" Song Yixiao glanced inside and outside her eyes, she didn't see a shadow like King Yi, and knew that her husband might have guessed wrong, so she asked in a low voice, "I don't know what the Queen Mother summoned her, what are your orders?" ”

Yuguo smiled bitterly and said, "It's the negligence of the slaves and maids - Niangniang has an old dress from more than 20 years ago, and she has been asked to keep it well." I didn't want to take it out in the past two days, and found that it was actually called a bug bite! The slaves and maids are clumsy, and they can't help it, and finally I think of Mrs. Your female popularity is notoriously good, so I want to ask Mrs. for your help! ”

"Auntie is serious!" Song Yixiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard that this was the case, but she didn't see anything, so she said cautiously, "I don't know ...... the broken place?" ”

"Please come with the slave!" Yuguo took her into the side hall, and the old clothes were placed on the long case in the hall, which looked indeed very old, and the clothes and embroidery threads were obviously faded.

Fortunately, the damage is not serious, and after Song Yixiao looked at it carefully, he confirmed that it could be repaired as before: "It's just that the color of the silk thread will be a little different, I'm afraid it will be difficult to completely hide it." ”

Yuguo said: "Niangniang said that as long as it is repaired, it will be done." ”

Song Yixiao was relieved when she heard this-then Yuguo ordered someone to take tea, needles and threads for her to use, and left a little palace maid to obey the order, and she confessed her guilt and left.

In the end, it was for the Queen Mother, although Song Yixiao was conceited of her skills, she didn't dare to slack off, and spent a whole day repairing the entire old clothes, and checked them twice inside and out to confirm that there were no omissions, and then asked the little palace maid to inform Yuguo.

After a while, Yuguo came in, and was very happy when she saw it, and said: "Niang Niang said that this will already be the meal, let you have dinner in the palace and then go back, so as not to be tired on the road!" ”

She also asked someone to take a pair of gold-inlaid jade ruyi hairpins for her, saying that it was the queen mother's reward for repairing her old clothes.

Song Yixiao actually wanted to go back as soon as possible, so that she could know as soon as possible that her husband was going to pick up Mrs. Duanmu today, but the Queen Mother let Yuguo pass on this, so she had to thank her.

After such a delay, when I returned to the Yanguo Mansion, it was almost curfew.

When Song Yixiao entered the door, she saw Ji Su serving her husband's wide clothes, and said in surprise: "You just came back?" ”

"My aunt and grandmother brought my cousins and cousins with me and talked to them." Jian said in a humble way, "I saw that you hadn't looked for it when I saw it, so I knew that you would definitely get this before you came back." ”

"The Queen Mother asked me to help mend an old dress, and Aunt Yuguo said it was more than 20 years ago." Song Yi smiled and asked everyone to withdraw, before he said softly, "I didn't get it done until the evening, and the Queen Mother asked Aunt Yuguo to keep me for dinner-I see that old clothes are just a regular clothes, and I don't know why the Queen Mother stayed for so many years without saying anything, and after finding out that it was broken, she couldn't wait for a moment to fix it?" ”

What's more, although Song Yixiao's female celebrity is good, but the queen mother is so noble, how can the huge palace city not find an embroidery girl who can do this? But he just called a first-class edict into the palace to do something to repair - Song Yi couldn't help but laugh and didn't think about it, "What are you implying by the Queen Mother's move?" ”

But Jian Xubai pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "More than twenty years ago, I was not born yet, and I really can't imagine hearing such a thing. ”

Without waiting for his wife to speak, he added, "Let's talk about this later." Aunt Ming'er's grandmother wants to enter the palace to thank her, and if the emperor's grandmother stays for dinner, I am afraid that she will not be able to return to her residence until late in the afternoon. So I'll come back from leave in the afternoon and accompany you to say hello! ”

"Why didn't you enter the palace today?" Song Yixiao remembered that the old lady Duanmu was able to return to the emperor because of the queen mother's permission, and it stands to reason that she did want to thank the queen mother first - but the queen mother called herself to the palace to mend her clothes today!

What's going on here?

She couldn't help but fall into the five clouds for a while!

"The emperor's grandmother thought that her aunt and grandmother were also old, and it must be hard to come from afar, so when she was promised to set off, she said that she would be allowed to enter the palace again the day after arriving in the imperial capital." Jian Xubai said calmly, "And my aunt's wind paralysis is a bit serious, and it has already affected the action, and the lineage of the king of Yang in the city is still a commoner, if there is no emperor's grandmother to speak, I am afraid that the hospital will not dare to rashly diagnose and treat." ”

Song Yi looked at him with a smile and said, "How does your aunt treat you?" ”

“…… OK. Hearing this, Jian Xubai was silent for a short time before he said, "Just after taking a look, there are cousins and cousins on the side, so I just said some pleasantries." ”

Seeing this, Song Yixiao was about to say comfort, but he seemed to have thought of something, and said, "After the third uncle told my aunt and grandmother that you are Jiang Nantang, my aunt and grandmother really wanted to see you, and also mentioned your mother's grandfather. ”

"Third uncle, this is a problem for me, the first time I heard of Jiang Nantang, it was still Miss Su Liu!" Song Yi couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, "And I haven't seen my mother's grandfather at all, Aunt Ming'er's grandmother wants to ask these questions, how can I answer?" ”

"I've already told my aunt and grandmother that you didn't grow up in the Song family." Jian Xubai said, "My aunt said that it doesn't matter, after all, it is an old man, and the tone is already a good impression of you." ”

Song Yi pursed her lips with a smile and said, "Don't be disappointed after she sees me-when I meet tomorrow, in addition to not mentioning the third aunt, is there anything else to pay attention to?" ”

Jian Xubai thought for a moment and said: "The people who served my aunt and grandmother to come to the imperial capital are all two cousins and one cousin, don't forget to bring a meeting gift tomorrow!" ”

He also said, "I see that they are dressed differently than the emperor, perhaps because they have been guarding the tomb before, and they don't know the fashion here." In two days, you can free your hands and send them some things, but now that my aunt and grandmother are sick, she may not notice these small things. ”

Song Yixiao knew that the so-called "I don't know what was fashionable here" was just a nice saying, no matter how prominent the King of Chengyang was back then, how could he continue to be glamorous in the past 21 years?

She nodded.

Then the husband and wife said some trivial things, and they settled.

The next morning, Song Yixiao got up an hour later than her husband as usual, finished freshening up, and had eaten before the housekeepers replied to the conversation, and Jin Xun came in and said, "Mother Bo is here!" ”

"Thin Mom?" Song Yi was very surprised when she heard this, and hurriedly asked the stewards to step back first, "Please!" ”

After a while, Bo's mother came in, and after saluting, she said: "The princess thinks that Ming'er is your birthday, so let the old slave send some things over, and also take a look at you on behalf of the mother!" ”

"I'm worried about my mother!" Song Yixiao didn't believe that her mother sent her confidant mother to go on purpose, just to celebrate her birthday. Sure enough, after talking about the scene, Bo's mother hinted that she would dismiss the idlers, so she asked, "I heard that Mrs. Ming'er doesn't plan to have a banquet?" Just like that? ”

Seeing Song Yi smile and nodded, she frowned: "When Niang Niang heard the news, she thought it was unlikely, so it was really so?" Madame did this, the mother can guess. It's just that Madame has thought about it? Whether it is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess or the county lord's mother, the status of these two among the nobles has long been deep-rooted! It's because they don't have birthdays or fancy clothes, and no one dares to despise them! But Madame, you ......."

She is an old man who watched Song Yixiao grow up, and Wei Mengying's current identity is also above her daughter, so some slightly offensive words can still be said directly, "You have only just entered the high gate, although in the past few months, the outside world has said that you are deeply favored by the Duke of Yan Guo, and you are also very decent in front of the eldest princess - but your first birthday after entering the door passed so quietly, what do you think about it after you hear about it outside?" ”

At that time, outsiders suspected that Song Yixiao had fallen out of favor, "It's only the beginning of the year, and the next four o'clock and eight festivals will be more lively, and everyone will treat you as a soft persimmon who is easy to bully, and the masters who are looking for trouble on the scene are called trouble one after another!" ”

This is not for her to scare Song Yixiao, "That's how the princess came back then!! ”

Song Yixiao only thought that her mother-in-law and sister-in-law didn't have a birthday this year, and as a young daughter-in-law, wouldn't it be too extravagant? What's more, she is really impatient to bother with this - but when she listens to Bo's mother, she also feels that it is inappropriate, so she is embarrassed: "But tomorrow is the ninth day of the second month!" ”

She has to go to greet Mrs. Duanmu in the afternoon!

"There's only time for a family dinner!" Bo's mother sighed, "It's a pity that Niangniang only heard the news yesterday, otherwise I would have reminded you earlier-no matter what, this banquet must be set, if you think it's too late, then, the princess let the old slave stay and give you a hand." ”

"I can't help but ask my mother to go on this trip, how dare I bother you?" Song Yixiao was immediately alert when she heard this, and finally held the backyard in her hand, how could she let others intervene again? Even if it's a mother-in-law, even if it's a temporary intervention, it can't be!

So he very simply declined the kindness of Wei Mengying's master and servant, "The horizontal and vertical family banquet doesn't need to be too solemn, but it is just right for Qiaoqin and them to practice their hands, so as not to catch up with the big scene and mess up in the future!" ”

Of course, the four big girls only mentioned Qiaoqin in order to give face to their mother-in-law and Bo's mother, after all, "Speaking of which, my mother really helped me a lot when I asked Qiaoqin to marry me, in terms of sensible, calm, shrewd and capable, since Zhao's mother left, she is the most reassuring to count around me - in the end, it is my mother and mother who came out of your hands!" ”

"Madame, if you are sure!" Bo's mother saw her defense, and her eyes were slightly unhappy, but she immediately covered it up and said, "Niangniang has always said that as long as you live well, it will be done." ”

After saying this, he retired.

After she left, Song Yixiao hurriedly called Qiaoqin and Jinxun: "Ming'er will hold a family banquet, now go write a post immediately!" I said that I should have sent it out a long time ago, but because my mother's stepmother had a difficult birth two days ago, I forgot about it because I was worried, and asked them to Haihan! ”

After barely making up for the flaws in his birthday, Song Yixiao was in no mood to call the stewards back, sat there for a while, saw that the time was not early, and listlessly shouted Moon Lantern and Li Yu went inside to serve: "It's time to change your clothes and get ready to go to your aunt's grandmother!" ”
