Zhou Ting led Mingyi to the door, Cheng Yuanxi and the others followed, the maid lifted the curtain and let them in, and when they entered, they immediately lowered the curtain to prevent the cold wind from entering the inner hall.

"The grass people knock on Princess Zhou, and the princess is blessed."

The first thing you do when you enter the door is to kneel, and you have to kneel even if you don't see anyone.

Cheng Yuanxi and the others knelt, Zhou Ting pulled Mingyi to prevent her from kneeling, and bent over to the princess, "Mother." ”

"Princess Zhou, I wish the princess a happy new year and good health."

"Happy New Year, and Happy New Year to you, get up, you don't have to kneel; There are no outsiders here, and Mr. and Mrs. Cheng are more comfortable. Princess Zhou looked at her son with a smile.

Zhou Ting's face was slightly hot, and Yinmingyi sat down together.

Cheng Yuanxi thanked him and got up, and the princess also gave him a seat; However, compared to Mingyi's gloom, Cheng Yuanxi and others are sitting on pins and needles.

Princess Zhou was magnificent, and they were somewhat uncomfortable sitting here.

Mingyi looked at the box in his brother's hand, got up again to get it, stood in the center of the inner hall and dragged the box with both hands, and said: "Princess Niangniang, this is a thin gift prepared by the grass people for the princess, congratulations to the princess for a long time." ”

The princess smiled and glanced at the maid beside her.

The maid walked to the box, saluted Mingyi, and then took it with both hands and sent it to the princess; Mingyi consciously returned to his original position and sat down again.

"You have a heart, my son has come to the door many times, and you don't dislike it, if it's me! You have to beat him out. ”

"The princess is serious, and the grass people and others are very grateful for the kindness of the prince; If it weren't for the prince, it is unknown whether our family can have a peaceful birthday, and it is the honor of the grass people to come to the house to play. ”

Cheng Yuanxi's words were beautiful, and the smile on Princess Zhou's face was sincere.

"What kind of kindness is this, if you want to say kindness, it has to be Cheng Xiaoniang's merit in saving my son three times and twice; Why don't you come here today and have a light meal in the house? Let this princess, a good mother, thank the little lady for a while. ”

Cheng Yuanxi hurriedly got up and said: "The princess Niangniang's kindness to the grass people and the grass people should have complied, but there is something in the grass people's family, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, please let the princess know it." ”

Cheng Yuanxi's words and deeds are appropriate, and Princess Zhou bows her head silently, so it seems that this Cheng Xiaoniang's father is not really ordinary; But he has hills and valleys in his chest, he is a smart person, he has wisdom and does not show off, and he advances and retreats in a certain way.

"That's a pity, Mr. Cheng has something at home, and this princess is really not good to stay; It's just that my son fell in love with Cheng Xiaoniang, I don't know if I can keep the little lady in the house for a few days? ”

This.

Cheng Yuanxi hesitated, it was a good thing for his daughter to live in the palace; However, their family has no fame, and their daughter is afraid that it will be inconvenient in the palace.

"Mr. Cheng is relieved, my grandfather's mother likes Mrs. Cheng very much; In the cold winter, it is not appropriate to go out, Cheng Xiaoniang stayed in the house to accompany her mother for a few days, and then the master personally sent her back. ”

"This is so, thank you for the princess's love, and the prince of Lao Shiye to take care of it; The little girl is in the countryside, if there are rules that are not in place, please send the prince home. "Don't punish her.

The love of parents is far-reaching.

Princess Zhou understood very well and felt a little sympathetic; In the past, her son was highly toxic and frail and sickly, but she was heartbroken in those years.

I'm always afraid that I won't be able to keep my son, and I'm afraid that someone will harm him.

Fortunately, his son is precocious, and under her protection, he also knows how to protect himself; Only then did he stay alive and wait until the antidote.

Thinking of the origin of the antidote, Princess Zhou looked at Cheng Mingyi twice; The little girl is smart, her clothes are a little worse, but she has a neat and heroic spirit on her body, and she does not lose her bookish spirit.

Strange to say, it is excellent to have the same temperament of these two temperaments; And she mixes the two temperaments, so that people can see at a glance that she is a little girl who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.

"Mr. Cheng is serious, this princess likes Mrs. Cheng very much."

What else can Cheng Yuanxi say?

The mother and son have already talked about this, and he only has to agree.

Seeing that Cheng Yuanxi responded, Princess Zhou smiled and asked the people around her to take them around the palace; Only Cheng Mingyi was left in the inner hall, and then looked at Zhou Ting's frequent look at other little girls, she couldn't help but shake her head and smile.

"Okay, don't bother you to play with the little lady, take the little lady to your yard; The mother concubine ordered someone to clean up the yard next to you, and Cheng Xiaoniang lived in the courtyard next to you. ”

"Thank you, Princess." Zhou Ting raised a smile on his face and stretched out his hand to Mingyi.

Mingyi got up and saluted Princess Zhou, "Thank you, Princess." ”

"Good children don't have to be polite, just like Chaosheng, you can play your go; This princess has to meet other guests here, what do you need to tell Chaosheng, treat this place as her own home, and feel free to play how she wants. ”

Mingyi thanked him again before putting his hand into Zhou Ting's palm.

Zhou Tingyi grasped his little hand, when he stretched out his hand just now, Mingyi did not respond to him immediately; His heart was sour, and when a small hand entered his palm, he subconsciously held it.

"Mother, the son and Yiyi will go first, and the outsiders will be taken care of by the mother and concubine."

Princess Zhou impatiently sent her son away, and when she saw Mama Xu coming in, the smile on her face became a little obvious, and she said: "Look at the princess's son, you know that you have to treat the little girl well at such a young age." ”

"The princess is not also very happy." Mama Xu stepped forward with a smile, holding a box in her hand, "Princess, you brought the things that the slave maid took." ”

"I ordered someone to send it to Chaosheng, and it was said that it was a gift from the princess to Cheng Xiaoniang."

"The princess has a good heart."

Mama Xu handed over the things to the maid who was waiting, and the maid took it and walked out of the inner hall, chased after Zhou Ting and Mingyi, and presented the box with both hands.

"Lord Shizi, Cheng Xiaoniang, this is given to Cheng Xiaoniang by the princess."

"Got it." Zhou Ting took it with one hand.

Mingyi can't be as casual as Zhou Ting, "Trouble my sister to thank the princess for me." ”

"Yes."

The maid bowed her head and waited for them to go before she got up; returned to the princess, conveyed Mingyi's words, and stepped aside to wait.

Princess Zhou smiled, picked up the box given by Mingyi, opened it and saw that it was a ginseng plant, and put it on the table.

"The little girl has a lot of ginseng in her hand!"

"This is taken out by the Cheng family, right?" Mama Xu asked uncertainly.

Princess Zhou nodded, then shook her head again, "Yes and no." ”

"Princess." Mama Xu was puzzled.

"According to the information in this investigation, the Cheng family is capable of Cheng Yuanxi, Cheng Mingyi, and Cheng Mingli; The rest of the Cheng family is just ordinary, Cheng Mingli is young, and looking at his walking posture, he is a practitioner, and his martial arts skills should not be high. ”

"Cheng Yuanxi's steps are vain, not like a person who practices martial arts; On the contrary, it is Cheng Mingyi, her steps are steady, don't look at her weak and petite on the surface, but she is so neat and strong, I have never seen such an arrogant girl in the daughter of a general. ”

"It's like a natural pride."

How can a peasant girl be so arrogant?
