The second grandmother Lu is now in charge of access control and entry and exit, the eldest lady Meng Jing is good at counting and managing the account room, and the treasury is still checked by several housekeepers and daughters-in-law in Mrs. Su's courtyard.

If He Angelica wants to go out, he has to go to the Lu family to ask for a passage order, of course, even if the Lu family switches and releases people, in the future, Mrs. Su will definitely come to investigate, so there must be a suitable explanation.

When she passed by the garden, she saw Qing'er, who was pulled by Meng Ying and stood under a southern locust tree. Meng Ying's expression was very excited, and she was talking about something, and Qing'er covered her face with her sleeves, as if to prevent Meng Ying's spit from splashing on her face. Then Meng Ying suddenly hugged Qing'er and kissed her, Qing'er beat and beaten, and pulled the pigtails on his head, and the two of them beat and kissed happily.

He Angelica didn't have the heart to see the excitement, and inquired that the Lu family was listening to the housekeeper's daughter-in-law in the flower hall over there, so he entered the back hall from the back door and waited. Who knows, as soon as I entered the back hall, I saw a palace beauty sitting there drinking tea, and her appearance was very familiar.

The other party was wearing a plain white palace dress with a simple style, embroidering strange and strong branches on the fabric with dark brown silk threads, and two plum blossoms embroidered with peach silk threads, which was a little more dusty in the elegant place. The wide skirt is draped behind her, and a light purple open gauze is draped over it, which is elegant and luxurious. There is a phoenix pendant tied around his waist, which adds an elegant temperament. Mo Yu Qing silk is tied in a draped bun, a few luminous beads adorn the hair, the beautiful eyes are just like the flat lake water, and the smile between the red lips is faint.

He Angelica first felt that she was familiar, and then remembered that she was the concubine of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who had seen in Rabbit Town, Xu Lian. And He Angelica's eyes are not because he has seen her once, when he first saw her last time, Xu Lian was hanging herself, and that face gave He Angelica a very familiar feeling. Where the hell have you seen her?

Compared with the embarrassment of the last time I met, this goodbye can be described as amazing, this woman is so beautiful! is different from the delicate beauty of ordinary women, the beauty of this Concubine Xu reveals a heroic charm.

He Angelica searched in his memory in confusion, but he couldn't remember what he had to do with the woman in front of him.

"What a pretty girl," Concubine Xu said with a smile, "You are the county lord of Qingning, right?" ”

He Angelica was stunned: "Madam, do you recognize me?" ”

Concubine Xu looked her up and down with a smile, and then pursed her lips and said, "I guess, your eyes are different from ordinary girls, so I guess I won't admit it." ”

When He Angelica heard this, he always felt that there was something in the words, and he didn't know how to answer it, so he just smiled and found a place to sit down next to him. This Concubine Xu has never seen her, but she can recognize her at a glance; She once approached Concubine Xu once in disguise, but she didn't know the identity of the other party.

In her private conversation with King Yan last time, she called herself "Xu Lian", so she should not be King Yan's concubine, because Princess Yan's name is Xu Wuhan, the daughter of the founding general Xu Da. It is said that Princess Xu is not only beautiful and beautiful, but also both civil and military, not much worse than men, and is a virtuous woman. Just look at the temperament of this palace beauty, it is very consistent.

Xu Lian, Xu Wuhan, and Han Lian are another name for Lotus, are these two names the same person? Because he thought the name "Xu Lian" was cheesy, he changed his name to "Xu Wuhan", and he had the habit of not being able to change his mouth in private, so he called himself "Xu Lian"?

He Angelica felt that his ideas were very well-founded, and looking at the woman's luxurious and elegant temperament, it was definitely not something that an ordinary woman with a concubine could have. So, nine times out of ten, the other party is Princess Yan?

She swept towards the other party with her peripheral vision, but saw that the other party was staring at her intently, the eyes of the two collided, and the familiarity in He Angelica's heart became even stronger.

"The concubine meets Princess Yan!"

Lu was trotted over from the front hall by someone, came in and gave a big salute, and said with a ashamed face: "The subordinates are ignorant, and they let the princess wait in the side hall for a long time, and the concubine has not heard about it until now, and the concubine is guilty of neglecting the princess!" ”

He Danggui said in his heart, it is indeed Princess Yan, her current nominal mother. So she also got up and saluted, wanting to say, "I don't know that my mother is coming, and my daughter doesn't know her mother's face, it's a great sin!" It feels weird, how can a daughter in the world not recognize her mother.

After thinking about it, she still said: "Mother Wanfu, please forgive my mother for the negligence of my second sister-in-law, she only took over the housework yesterday, and it is common for her to be inconsiderate." The mother-in-law and sister-in-law did well before, but now that they are sick, my mother forgave me this time. ”

Suddenly, two more people came out of the other ear door, one was the Shang family, and the other was the housekeeper and daughter-in-law Zhang Bajia beside Mrs. Su, and both of them saluted Princess Yan. Shang said coquettishly: "The concubine was still sick yesterday, but fortunately she got better today, otherwise she wouldn't dare to come to see the princess." It's a pity that the second brother and sister and the seventh brother and sister don't know the etiquette, so they let the princess sit in this cold room for a long time. ”

When Lu heard this, he frowned and glared at Shang, usually there are quarrels at home and fighting for favor in front of his mother-in-law, which is also a family matter. Now that the distinguished guest is visiting, doesn't she understand the truth that her arm is folded and hidden in her sleeve? The Meng Mansion and the Yan Wangfu have always been harmonious in court affairs, if the back houses of the two sides are not good, and there is a disagreement, isn't it dragging the old man back their legs!

Princess Yan had been sitting quietly on the upper seat with tea, until she heard He Angelica call her "mother" twice, and her beautiful face suddenly showed a very happy face.

After the Shang family finished saying bad things about the Lu family and He Angelica, Princess Yan stood up, walked over with a smile, took her hands with both hands, and said softly: "Good boy, I have been on my mother's body for a while, otherwise I would have come to see you earlier, why did I lose weight like this after not seeing you for a few days?" But not used to eating here? Otherwise, it will be done in the palace every day and sent here to feed you. ”

As soon as these words fell, she was shocked by the Shang family, she could hear that He Angelica had never lived in the Yan Palace, and he was a nominal county lord who recognized his relatives halfway, what good friendship could he have with Princess Yan! Why does it sound like Princess Yan's tone is as loving as her mother?

He Angelica himself is also ashamed, what is this for. She doesn't deserve to eat the home delivery of the palace.

Princess Yan is slender and a head taller than her, He Angelica raised her head and looked into the other party's sincere and concerned eyes, if these concerns were faked, then her acting skills were too good. Moreover, now that the Shang family is present, Princess Yan said such warm words, which is clearly the face of the Shang family. There are two possibilities in this, one is that the Shang family has offended Princess Yan, and the other is that Princess Yan wants to befriend He Angelica and sell her a favor.

Thinking of this, He Angelica also did not lose Princess Yan's acting skills, and said with emotion: "Mother, what are you talking about, I can't continue to serve your diet after I get married, it's already restless, and it makes you think about my side, and it's more and more damned." My mother was infected with the epidemic a few days ago, and she just got better, so she has to take care of herself, and let her daughter ask for peace for you later. ”

"You let your mother take care, why don't you know to take care yourself?" Princess Yan raised her eyebrows, touched He Angelica's pointed chin for a while, pinched her bony shoulders for a while, and calculated about the pounds, "Summer is the time when the girl's parents are tall, why don't you grow a little taller, but you lose a few pounds of meat?" Did Meng Xuan bully you? Tell your mother quickly, your mother has her own way to seek justice for you! ”

He Angelica felt that he was like a duck in the vegetable market, tested for quality, and disgusted with the lack of meat......

She bowed her head ashamedly and said: "Mother, don't worry, the seventh master treats his daughter very well, as for getting thinner, it has never been a thing, my daughter has always been not fat just by eating, she will be fat when she adds clothes in winter, and she will lose weight when she loses clothes in summer, how can it be accurate." The cook in Meng Mansion is great, and my daughter is definitely not hungry. ”

She suddenly thought that if she left the mansion in the name of Princess Yan, she would not be able to tell the truth at all. After the daughter-in-law of the Meng family enters, she can return to the door once every March, May, September, and December on the fifteenth day of the new year, but she must be accompanied by her husband. Because Meng Xuan was not at home, she wasted her two opportunities in May. Now that the "mother" comes to pick up the "daughter", and she is a noble figure at the level of a princess, the Meng family will definitely not stop her from going home with Princess Yan to have a look.

"Mother, let the second sister-in-law get up," He Angelica smiled at Shang's pale lips, "It's cold on the ground, and it's cold to turn around." ”

Princess Yan smiled: "Look at my memory, patronizing and talking to you, I forgot about them!" A few ladies hurry up, the ladies in our inner house don't need this set of customs, Yanwangfu and Mengfu are in-laws, and this princess will often come to visit Qing'er in the future, and she can't afford to go back like this. Hurry up! ”

The Lu family, the Shang family, and Zhang Ba's family should all get up from the ground and stand aside.

He Angelica intimately pulled Princess Yan back to her seat, and a blue-dyed handkerchief was spread on the small table, allowing Princess Yan to put her hand on it, listened carefully to the pulse, and said with a smile: "Mother's illness has been cured, but her body is still weak, and it is not appropriate to make up for it. I was reading a book yesterday and saw two medicinal recipes that were very suitable for my mother, and I waited for me to write them down and bring them back to my mother. ”

Princess Yan grabbed He Angelica's hand and said, "How long has it been since my mother saw you?" Two prescriptions just want to send me away? No way! I don't depend on you! ”

He Angelica's own mother-in-law has never been so "domineering and gentle" to her, for a while, she patronized and tasted this feeling, but forgot to answer. Princess Yan reached out to touch her face again, "good boy", "my son", and screamed more heartily than the other.

The Lu family next to him secretly wondered, I heard that Princess Yan was a cold person and never participated in the banquets of celebrities in the capital, but I didn't expect to treat her children so well.

There were big beads of sweat on Shang's head, her younger brother was now working under King Yan, and when he heard that Princess Yan was visiting, he thought it was an opportunity, so he ignored Meng Ying's grounding order and ran out to greet Princess Yan, but he didn't expect to offend the other party as soon as he came up! Although the Shang family saw He Angelica's princess-level dowry, and also heard that it was all a gift from Princess Yan, but the Shang family only said that Princess Yan had a good face, so he would make a bold move, and he could never imagine that He Angelica and Princess Yan were a pair of godmother and daughter with such a good relationship.

Shang glanced at He Angelica and them, and saw that both of them had sweet smiles, and Shang regretted that he shouldn't have been against her after He Angelica entered the door. Now that I know the relationship between He Angelica and Princess Yan, and I heard that King Yan loves the princess very much, if He Angelica says something good, it will implicate Shang's younger brother......

"Mother, you keep holding me back, how can I write a prescription?" He Angelica said with a smile.

Princess Yan grabbed He Angelica's hand tightly, turned her head to look at the Lu family, and asked, "I heard that Meng Xuan went out the next day after she got married, so she was left at home to guard the house, and she also suffered a loss at the festival banquet." This princess wants to take her daughter home for two days, can she just say it to you, or will she have to go with Mrs. Su before she can be released? This princess is here to pick up her daughter today, she doesn't leave, I can stay in the guest room to accompany her. ”

He Angelica didn't expect Princess Yan to invite her to the palace, she didn't expect a suitable excuse for Princess Yan to take her away, but Princess Yan said the most ideal excuse.

Lu Shi hurriedly smiled: "What did the princess say, you want to take your sister back to the palace to live for two days, just call someone to pass on a word, and we will prepare it for my sister here and send it to the palace safely." "The Lu family is in charge of the daughter-in-law of the family going out to incense and returning to her parents' house, and of course she is willing to sell this favor.

Princess Yan was about to pull He Angelica away, and the Shang family also put on a smile and came to offer courtesy and said: "On this hot day, the princess rushed to pick up her sister, we don't want to go, so we can use some light food before leaving." ”

Princess Yan waved her hand and said, "No need, the palace is far away, we are in a hurry." ”

The Shang family didn't dare to stay, so he only looked at He Angelica with big watery eyes, and his eyes were full of pleading, which meant that we folded our arms and hid them in our sleeves, but don't spread the slightest stumbling things at home to the outside. And He Angelica wanted to get out of the house quickly, and he didn't care about receiving Shang's autumn wave at all.

While talking, Liu and Aunt Wang also came to visit Princess Yan, and several women surrounded Princess Yan and He Danggui out of the second gate, and then there was the outer courtyard.

Suddenly, a gray-clad and gray-pants boy of twelve or thirteen ran over and came straight to them.

The Lu family couldn't help frowning, how could there be such an unruly subordinate in the family, but he still appeared when the distinguished guests came to the door, unlucky! Shang saw that the little guy was a little familiar, and it seemed to be the son of his daughter-in-law Song's sister-in-law, so he hurriedly scolded loudly: "Didn't you go out with your head, bumping around like a fly!" Why don't you go to the big butler and get ten prototypes! ”

The little girl cried wowly: "Grandma spare her life! The small ones came in to spread the word, and those officials were very fierce, and they didn't give them any space to communicate with them. Because I was running fast, I was asked to come in and spread the word, grandma is gracious! ”

"Servants?" Lu asked incredulously, "What are they doing in Mengfu?" ”

"Grandma Chuan Qi went back to the yamen for questioning."
