The next day, people from all the courtyards of King Ning's Mansion came to return the gift.

These gifts were also prepared early in the morning, but there was no occasion for a formal meeting, so they were not given.

King Ning has no side concubines, except for Princess Ning, there are only four concubines, among which Jiang and Zhang are the palace people who gave the Queen Mother to enlighten men and women, and the other Feng and She are Princess Ning herself.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, the two concubines from the palace people gave birth to daughters, and the concubines of Princess Ning Zhang Luo gave birth to a son, and the youngest is only twelve years old now.

Everyone knew that Chu Yan would become the princess of Ning Wangfu in a short time, so they all held her and spoke.

While talking and laughing, Jiang, who was born in the palace, suddenly said: "The house has not been so lively for a long time, the county lord is tired of driving, these days must be a good rest, in a few days the princess will definitely hold a banquet, the county lord will be introduced to the ladies and ladies in Beijing." ”

Zhang, who was also from the palace on the side, echoed with a smile: "Exactly." ”

Chu Yan glanced at the two of them when she heard this, didn't answer, and instead talked about the flowers and plants in the palace, saying that she had never seen a flower somewhere, and she didn't know what it was called.

Feng and She immediately took over the conversation and chatted about the flowers and plants.

After sending away the four concubines and the five concubines, Mama Xu snorted coldly and said: "Then the Jiang family and the Zhang family are really interesting, the young lady can't even figure out their surnames, so she began to provoke the relationship between the young lady and Princess Ning!" ”

"Deliberately in front of the young lady, mention the banquet, if you are careful, seeing that the princess is not invited, you will definitely feel that the princess is not sincere, but they don't know that the young lady was invited by the queen to come to the capital, and now the palace has not been there, how can there be a reason to set up a banquet to meet others first!"

Chu Yan snorted: "My current reliance is the love of King Ning and Princess Ning, they want to provoke, they are really looking for the wrong person." ”

"And the love of the son!"

Xiangyi said with a smile on the side: "The prince ordered Yuanxi to send a lily back early in the morning, and at a glance, I knew that it was intentional." The prince sent cherries, the lady returned the gift, and the prince returned the gift, so you come and go, obviously you don't want to cut off contact with the miss! ”

Mama Xu also smiled when she heard this, but she still glared at Xiangyi and said, "That's because Miss not only gave a handmade pastry as a return gift, but also gave a meeting gift to Pingyang Palace." The prince is just a courtesy! ”

Xiangyi snorted lightly when she heard this: "No matter what, the prince of the world is extraordinary to Miss. ”

Chu Yan didn't answer their words, only picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then he seemed to ask unintentionally, "What about the second son?" Have you ever sent a gift back? ”

Speaking of Li Yin, Xiangyi suddenly snorted softly: "Miss got up late, you may not know, last night, the second son didn't know when to sneak out, and went to the land of flowers and willows with Hou Shizi of Wu'an, looking for fun, and came back drunk in the morning!" ”

"Don't talk about returning the gift, I'm afraid he can't remember that there is such a person as Miss at all!"

Chu Yan held the hand of the teacup and paused: "He went to the land of flowers and willows in the middle of the night?" ”

"Isn't it!"

Xiangyi snorted lightly: "The slave maid listened to the subordinates of the palace say that these two sons and the prince are simply one positive and one negative, the son of the world is clean and gentle and polite, and the second son is debauched and unruly, and it is common for him to sneak out of the palace in the middle of the night to have fun." ”

"Not only that, he also has a good relationship in the largest Qinglou in the capital, and he often doesn't return at night, and the longest one is that he hasn't come back for seven or eight days in a row!"

Every time he heard a sentence, Chu Yan's heart sank.

Last night, after she was so intimate with him, he went to the land of flowers and willows overnight.

What was his situation at that time, she knew better than anyone else, what to do in the land of flowers and willows, she didn't need to think about it.

Chu Yan felt a little ridiculous, she was thinking here, how to gain his favor, how to marry him, while he stayed overnight in Hualiu, looking for fun and never returning home.

No wonder he was so familiar with those things, and no wonder he could do those intimate acts with her without changing his face.

She also thought that she was special in his heart.

Chu Yan laughed at himself, put down the teacup and looked at Xiangyi and said: "In the future, you don't inquire about the second son's affairs, he doesn't have much to do with us, as long as you can get by, if you are free, you might as well inquire about the relationship between the people in this palace." ”

"By the way, you can knock on the side and ask the prince, King Ning and Princess Ning about their preferences."

Xiangyi immediately smiled when she heard this: "Miss, don't worry, the slave will definitely inquire quietly." ”

She bites the word "quiet" very hard, but they are so dazzling, and they are newcomers, where is there anything quiet?

It's just a reflection of her daughter's family's reserve and gratitude, making her flattery less utilitarian.

Chu Yan nodded: "Go ahead." ”

Li Yin slept until the afternoon before getting up, and before he washed, he saw Laifu looking at him with a cold face.

Li Yin frowned: "Give me a face, are you the master or am I the master?" ”

Laifu snorted lightly when he heard this: "With one sentence, you can take the life of the slave, how dare the slave make a face to the master." ”

Li Yin took the cup and rinsed his mouth, and said lightly: "Say, who made you angry?" ”

Laifu pouted: "In the end, it's all your fault, master!" ”

Li Yin raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Oh? What's going on? ”

Laifu looked at him and said, "Didn't the county lord give a gift yesterday?" Early this morning, everyone went to return the gift, because today is a great dynasty, and the prince is not available, but he also let Yuan Xi give a gift early. Only you, the master, not only did not return the gift, but also stayed overnight in Hualiu and came back drunk in the morning. ”

Li Yin lowered his eyes and took the handkerchief to clean his face: "Then what?" ”

"And then the minions were squeezed!"

Lai Fu snorted and said: "Don't you know, the big girl named Xiangyi next to the county lord is good at squeezing people, she doesn't mention that you don't know the etiquette, only that the slave didn't do her duty as a subordinate, and didn't remind you!" It's almost useless to flatten the minions! ”

Li Yin was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said, "So, is she urging the return gift?" ”

Laifu scratched his head: "Maybe, that's what it means." ”

Li Yin turned around and went to the inner room when he heard this, and after a while, he walked out with a delicate brocade box: "Send this thing, just say it's a return gift for her." ”

Laifu stretched out his hand to take it, and asked with some curiosity, "What's in this?" ”

Li Yin glanced at him, and said in a faint voice: "A lone book, she will like it, remember not to open it, just give it to her." ”

His own master was so uplifted, Laifu was very happy, and he answered and went happily.

After a while, the brocade box was successfully delivered to Chu Yan.

She looked at the brocade box in her hand and asked, "This is Brother Yin, a return gift for me?" ”
