While thinking about it, the carriage had stopped at the gate of the court.

Chao Li stepped out of the carriage with the support of Tsing Yi and walked into the court.

Walking to the front hall, there was no one inside, and Chao Li understood that everyone was in the courtyard of the old lady.

The corners of his mouth curled and slowly walked towards the old lady's courtyard.

As soon as he walked to the courtyard, he heard Chaoheng's voice, and he coaxed the old lady Chao very happily, and the house was full of joy.

While walking, Chao Li had already walked to the door.

The people in the house seemed to notice her arrival, and all the excitement just now had stopped, and they were still looking at Chaoli a little uncomfortably.

In this way, these people may have said something related to her just now, and they laughed because of it.

"I think my grandmother has been doing well in the countryside these days, and she is so happy today. If I hadn't known that my grandmother had come back, I would have thought that my grandmother would be happy because I came back today. Chao Li said with a smile.

The old lady was dressed very luxuriously, and even exceeded it, like a nouveau riche.

I saw that she had seven hairpins on her head, her clothes were also red, and she had a gold chain the thickness of her little finger hanging around her neck.

Tut-tut, it's really hard to describe.

Hearing Chao Li's words, the old lady coughed lightly, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and she was quickly suppressed by her, and now she showed a loving smile.

"Look at you, girl, isn't grandmother happy because you're back today, or is it because of something else? But didn't the prince come back with you? He spoke to the old lady.

I didn't see Gu Hanzhang at the door just now, and the old lady Chao was wondering if Chaoli was not favored by Gu Hanzhang.

But when I heard that I came back to the door again, it was a bit of a surprise.

"Grandmother, the son of the world is already busy working in the Criminal Department, and he still has something to do today." Chaoli also smiled, "Second aunt, third aunt, second sister, third brother, fourth sister." ”

Chao Heng looked disappointed, "That's a pity, I still want to be able to have two more drinks with my brother-in-law today." A few days ago, when the eldest sister came back to the door, my brother-in-law and my father had a few drinks, but I didn't have enough fun, so I wanted to say that I could drink more with him. ”

Chaozhen's eyes were full of schadenfreude, she wished that Chao Li's relationship with Gu Hanzhang was not good.

Before, she could only talk to Gu Hanzhang by herself, wanting to get a good impression in front of him.

But now, her grandmother had whispered to her that she was not worried.

At the thought of such a fairy-like person being able to become her man, Chaozhen couldn't help but feel throbbing in her heart.

"There is always a chance, the third brother doesn't have to worry." Chaoli replied.

The old lady took a sip of the teacup and took a sip of it, and then refocused her eyes on Chao Li's body.

"Ah Li, tomorrow is the palace banquet, you can take your second sister to the palace to participate in the palace banquet. Didn't you also bring your second sister and fourth sister to Mrs. Guo's birthday banquet last time, but this time when you enter the palace, your fourth sister is a little younger, so you don't need to. Said lightly to the old lady.

The mouth is quite gentle, but the words spoken by the old lady make people feel that it is an order, not to ask for Chao Li's consent, she has always been used to giving orders.

Fortunately, Fang Huimin was not here, otherwise she didn't know how uncomfortable she would be.

When the Li family heard the old lady say this, his heart immediately became proud, and he looked at the Yang family with disdain, looking at how much I am favored, and you are not even favored with your daughter.

Yang didn't show anything, but there was a sadness in his eyes that could not be dissolved, and the hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists.

is not favored by himself, and it is true that he does not have a good life even with his daughter.

is not only to attend the palace banquet, but also on other occasions, Chao Wan is not qualified to go.

In this way, it will be difficult for Chao Wan to discuss relatives in the future.

The Yang family does not expect Chaowan to marry better than Chaozhen in the future, but hopes that she can be stable in this life, not to be a concubine, but to be the wife of a small family.

Perhaps, she can ask her wife for a favor then.

It's just that Madame doesn't care about anything, will she be willing to offend the second aunt for her aunt?

Chao Wan seemed to be able to sense Yang's pain and sorrow, and she reached out without a trace and gently squeezed Yang's clenched fist.

Yang was stunned for a moment and looked up at Chao Wan.

The mother and daughter smiled, and the sadness in Yang's heart also dissipated a lot.

Chao Li took in this scene, and then met the eyes of the old lady.

"Grandmother, the requirements for the palace banquet are the wives and daughters of courtiers above the fifth grade, what does the wife and daughter mean, maybe you don't understand, it refers to the wife and daughter-in-law. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to let me take my second sister to the palace banquet. Chao Li spoke without humility or arrogance.

Li's smug expression just now instantly stiffened, she looked at Chao Li in disbelief, she didn't expect Chao Li to dare to refuse Old Madam Chao.

You must know that Chaoli is in the court, and he also respects the old lady very much.

In the past, no matter what she said to the old lady, she would keep it in her ears and in her heart.

This is the first time that such a direct refusal has been done today.

Old Madam Chao's face immediately sank, "Big girl, don't you want to help with this little thing?" Okay, now that you have hard wings, it's amazing to marry into the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, so you don't take your grandmother in your eyes? ”

Chao Li's face was full of embarrassment, and he slowly approached the old lady, pursed his lips, and looked embarrassed to say it.

"Miss, you and Zhen'er are sisters, and you don't even want to do such a trivial thing, it really makes me sad." Li Shi wanted to cry, pretending to wipe his tears, "I always thought that the eldest lady regarded Zhen'er as her own sister, but now it seems that I have thought too much, how can my Zhen'er be worthy of being the eldest lady's sister?" It's pitiful, as an aunt and a concubine, I really can't get the slightest bit of consideration. ”

To say that this Li family is really good at acting, just looking at it like this, it really looks like Chaoli bullied her.

A trace of coldness flashed in Chaoheng's eyes, and he quickly walked to Li's side.

"Auntie, don't be like this, eldest sister, she may have a hard time, after all, she is just getting married."

Chao Li chuckled, the Li family's children are not a good thing, especially Chao Heng, who has a sinister and vicious mind, and is used to hiding.

In and out of the words, she just got married, and she was not favored, and she couldn't even do a little thing, she was useless, she couldn't catch Gu Hanzhang's heart, so she couldn't get the dignity that Zhenbei Hou Mansion should have.

In his previous life, Chaoli took Chaozhen to the palace banquet because of the performance of these people.

As a result, Chaozhen teamed up with some young ladies at the palace banquet to give her a good look, which made her the princess lose face.

In this life, Chaozhen still wants her to take her to the palace banquet and let her go against herself, that is extravagant hope.

It doesn't matter who takes Chaozhen, she won't take it anyway.

If Chaolu is bold enough to use a concubine as a concubine to attend the palace banquet, she will still look down on Chaolu.

Thinking of this, Chao Li lowered his head and smiled, and raised his head again.
