Chapter 968, the eldest princess's reply
"But no, eldest princess, this was specially brought by the slave maid, you didn't even look at it and gave it directly to the third girl, and you are not afraid that the third girl will think it is inappropriate."
Aunt Qin walked in with a smile, holding a large gift box in her hand.
"Look, this is what the slave maid brought to the third girl after listening to your instructions." As he spoke, he put down the big gift box in his hand, and as soon as he opened it, money was a brightly colored thing, and it was also the favorite of girls nowadays.
"Good...... Well, it's all my fault, it's me who didn't see it clearly. The eldest princess smiled, reached out and patted the gift box gently, "Xi'er come over and take a look, and take it all if you like it." ”
"Don't dare to take more, these are what my grandmother likes." Yu Xijiao shook her hands and immediately refused.
"Why is it what I like, the color is so bright, it's what young girls like, and you're going to get married again, these are all suitable." Ann and the eldest princess said with a smile.
"Grandmother, you're suitable, too." Yu Xijiao said.
"Grandmother is old and inappropriate, and if she goes out dressed like this, she must be an old monster." Ann and the eldest princess smiled.
"Grandmother is not very old, grandmother looks young, not big at all." Yu Xijiao said angrily.
"The eldest princess is not very old, she just likes some light, and she doesn't like the dark and bright colors very much, but the palace likes to appreciate some of the eldest princess's rich ones." Aunt Qin joked.
"These are all rewards from the palace?" Yu Xijiao looked at this big gift box in surprise, the satin clothes and decorations inside were all exquisite, but she thought that her grandmother had chosen them in the past.
"It's all rewarded in the palace, every year during the New Year's Festival, there will be a reward in the palace, for your grandfather's sake, this reward is really a lot, and I have accumulated a lot over the years." The smile on the eldest princess's face faded.
"Grandmother, father's business...... How's it going? Seeing that An and the eldest princess were reluctant to say more about this, Yu Xijiao didn't ask, her eyes turned slightly, she put down a piece of material in her hand, and sat down in front of An and the eldest princess, looking very well-behaved, "Grandmother, tell me, what should I do now?" Is there a follow-up. ”
Hearing Yu Xijiao ask about business, the smile on the eldest princess An He's face receded, and with a wave of her hand, Aunt Qin walked out, and Mingyue followed her obediently.
The two men left the house one after the other.
There are two grandchildren in the house.
"Grandmother......" Yu Xijiao said.
"You kid...... Why do you have to ask such a thing. The eldest princess sighed lightly, her voice without too much blame, "A girl's family shouldn't only focus on some needlework and some boudoir affairs?" ”
"Grandmother...... You think that's all I care...... May I? Yu Xijiao reached out and took the hands of Laan and the eldest princess and said in a low voice.
It's not that I want to pay attention, I just have to pay attention, when a person is pushed to this position, if you don't go down well, it's already an abyss to turn back.
"You're a coward, ...... I know you're bold, look at other people's girls, and then look at you...... It's just a little monkey, and I can't settle down. The eldest princess An He scolded with a smile, patted Yu Xijiao's hand gently, and changed her tone, "This matter...... I thought about it last night, and I should have told you that. ”
"Grandmother ......"
"Don't say it yet, listen to me." An and the eldest princess interrupted Yu Xijiao's words.
"If it was in the past, I actually only want you to live a stable life, don't care about anything, don't ask anything, just live your life in peace, with your grandmother, you can always try to protect your life, low-key, low-key, always survive in the cracks."
"Before you entered Beijing, I thought about marrying a person who does his duty, as long as he has the ability, the family background is almost nothing, it is best to choose from the scholars, you don't have to be born in a family, the family is too involved, when the time comes, my grandmother is old, and she may not be able to protect you, but after seeing you...... I knew that the idea was probably empty. ”
An He's eldest princess's eyes fell on Yu Xijiao's face, knowing that her granddaughter was good-looking, but she didn't expect her granddaughter to look so good.
The first time they met, Ann and the eldest princess were shocked, with such a look, how could they hide it, let alone their granddaughter.
The so-called low-key, whether it is character or appearance, has to be modest.
Obviously, the granddaughter is not, and what shocked An and the eldest princess even more was Yu Xijiao's temperament, how could such a temperament blindly retreat.
This character is clearly another her, when she was young, she couldn't rub a little sand in her eyes......
"But you...... Now he is going to marry the prince of Qi, and he is destined to take an unusual path...... This is also good, or this is also a way to live in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, otherwise...... Your father can't afford such a Xuanping Marquis Mansion. The voice of the eldest princess was very low, revealing a vicissitudes of life.
Yu Xijiao's hand shook the hand of An and the eldest princess vigorously, and she could feel the gentle temperature of her grandmother.
The eldest princess An and the eldest princess also shook her hand back, and said in a low voice, "Last night...... All the people in the Zhuangzi were executed, and none of them lived. ”
"All dead?" Yu Xijiao was taken aback.
"Dead man, basically either you die or I die, your father specially asked people to send some things in before he went in, and when your father went in, there was basically no big movement."
Is this something else?
Yu Xijiao immediately understood.
"Grandmother, these people can't stay." Yu Xijiao said in a low voice, leaning towards the eldest princess An He, unable to stay, and unable to stay.
If these people insist that the matter is from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and say that they are from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, then the Xuanping Marquis Mansion will be speechless, and the best way is, of course, to remove these people.
"It's best if you understand this, these people are okay now, they are all fugitives, and they still want to resist after being caught, and they are basically dead." An and the eldest princess said, this is an explanation to the outside world, "As for the ordinary manpower in Zhuangzi, it was also inextricably linked with these people before, and your father also changed a batch of manpower. ”
"Grandmother, are there some old things from the Anguo Mansion?" Now that the manpower has been arranged, Yu Xijiao didn't ask more, only asked what she was interested in.
Listening to Xi San, he sent a box over at that time.
"I found it, it should be the old things of the Qi State Mansion, but these old things have somehow arrived in our house." An and the eldest princess nodded, took out a booklet from the drawer, and handed it to Yu Xijiao, "Take a look." ”
Yu Xijiao took it, a thin booklet, with the old seal of the Anguo Mansion on it, which was a booklet of the property of the Anguo Mansion, not very thick.
When you open it, you can see that each piece is a treasure and has an explanation.
"Nine times out of ten, the things in this booklet are in Zhuangzi, I have asked people to secretly take them back, it is in the house, if you want to see it, go and see it." An and the eldest princess said, afraid that she would fall in love with her and want to take it, so she specially advised: "But these are the things of the Anguo Mansion, you can't move it now." ”
"Grandmother, I don't want it, I'll go and see if it's true, if it's true, why did you steal it from our house, how did you steal it, it was Yangshan Hou who raided the house at that time, even if there were things in and out, it couldn't get to Mrs. Qian's hands, here...... I don't know if there's some reason. ”
Yu Xijiao's willow eyebrows frowned, and she said a little uneasily.
"I'm afraid it's not just Qian's actions, Qian doesn't have that much ability, Mrs. Qian has such a big ability." The eldest princess An and the eldest princess sneered.
"Grandmother, do you want to deal with Old Madam Qian?" Yu Xijiao was taken aback.
"No...... I'm just a useless old princess, what ability can I have, cleaning up Zhuangzi by myself is already the last ability, as for the rest, I am really powerless. The eldest princess leaned back and coughed lowly.
"Grandmother said very much, this time, we are also for self-protection, even if someone finds something wrong, they will not think about grandmother, after all, no matter what, we have to protect the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, let people bully their own heads, we have to resist." Yu Xijiao sighed in her heart.
It's best if no one knows, if someone knows, when it is a last resort, this is the explanation, the grandmother has not expected to retreat, it can be seen that the grandmother has been cautious and helpless for so many years.
The booklet in her hand was worth a lot of money, but it was something she had to see......
"I hadn't told her anything like this before, but now I ...... I had to say to her...... I don't know if I'm doing it right or not. The eldest princess sighed softly, her eyes fell on Yu Xijiao's distant back, and her smile was bitter, "Or...... I was wrong from the start. ”
"Eldest princess, it's just a matter of time and time, you are right, at that time...... You can't help it. Aunt Qin knew the inside story, and sent tea to An and the eldest princess and comforted her.
An and the eldest princess of Yamato didn't speak, just turned their heads slightly and looked out the window, and Yu Xijiao could vaguely be seen leaving outside the window.
The body is slender but erect.
"Eldest princess, the slave maid thinks that the third girl is very similar to you." Aunt Qin also followed her gaze, and only saw Yu Xijiao's figure leaving the courtyard gate.
"Like me...... What's good. The eldest princess sighed again, "I don't want her to be like me...... I have to bear everything, and the old marquis went...... It's a pity that it's gone, leaving me alone...... An old princess who lives with royal grace. ”
An and the eldest princess hooked her lips mockingly, and slowly retracted her gaze: "I can't do anything, I don't dare to do anything, even if it's my own grandson, I can't cultivate it well, for fear of committing a royal taboo, I'm just a royal 'kindness' that people can see." ”
Looking back on my life, the first half of my life has been very enjoyable, but what about later? Later, she gradually couldn't walk, too many burdens, too many responsibilities, too many last resorts.
"The eldest princess, the third girl is different from you, the third girl has the prince of Qi, and the slave thinks that the prince of Qi is really good to the third girl." Knowing that she remembered many unpleasant things, she deliberately mentioned the old marquis, "Just like the old marquis did to you at the beginning, he took care of you wholeheartedly." ”
