Chapter 207 Winter Solstice ([-])

Yan Jingshen smiled and recounted the events of that day briefly.

"...Aunt Changning treated me quite well. But at the beginning, I approached my aunt through the name of concubine mother.

I didn't expect her to be very clear-headed after seeing no outsiders all year round, and quickly exposed my lies.

But she was very sympathetic to what happened to me, her attitude gradually became kind, and she chatted with me for a while. "

Mingshi sighed.

"Princess Changning is also a bitter one. The Empress Dowager only had her when she was 40 years old, and the late emperor passed away when she was very young.

It is said that she is the most honorable princess in Fengguo, but in fact, her life is not as good as many noble girls.

His Majesty seems to treat her well, but he doesn't even have the title of a princess.

Before the mother and concubine got married, relying on the little relationship with the empress dowager, she often went to the palace to play with her.

Everything changed after I got married. I couldn't even take care of myself, so I couldn't take care of other people.

I also wanted to visit her when I returned to Beijing this time, but I never made time. "

The last sentence is of course not the truth, but her understanding and sympathy for Princess Changning is not false.

Yan Jingshen said: "My aunt didn't care about this, and said that if I have any troubles in the future, I can go to her."

The Ming family said: "Since Princess Changning is so attached to you, you should visit her often from now on.

The mother concubine is now like this, so don't worry about it. "

Yan Jingshen said again: "Xu Shi's aunt said a few more words to me, the Empress Dowager was very happy and said the same thing to me.

Her old man also said that if the prince dares to allow others to plot against me again, she will never forgive him. "

There was a different brilliance in Ming's eyes.

Speaking the same words from the Queen Mother's mouth, the effect is of course not comparable to that of Princess Changning.

Shen'er has outstanding ability and is loved by His Majesty, and now she has the support of the Empress Dowager, what else is impossible?

"Shen'er, you always keep surprising the concubine mother."

The corner of Yan Jingshen's mouth curved.

A woman's ambition is truly terrifying...

"My concubine loves me dearly, so I think it's a surprise to have a little achievement."

Ming's smile became even happier: "This is not a slight achievement, Shen'er don't underestimate yourself."

Yan Jingshen couldn't answer the conversation anymore, the corners of his mouth became even more curved.

※※※※

Grand Master Xia has always been reluctant to make publicity.

In the past few years he was not in Beijing, the Xia family naturally would not hold a birthday banquet for him, and the two winter solstices have been very peaceful.

This year when he came back, the Xia family couldn't keep a low profile, so they simply held the birthday banquet in Dali, and almost all the famous families in the capital invited them.

Compared with his birthday banquet, Xia Yueliang's 14th birthday seems insignificant.

In addition, she didn't have many friends, and she didn't even send invitations specially.

Of course, not having many friends doesn't mean that no one gave her gifts.

Before she got up early in the morning, the first batch of gifts had already arrived at the Grand Master's Mansion.

Mingjia took the gift slips sent by the concierge and read them one by one, making Xia Yueliang's drowsiness go away.

She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and said angrily: "I said, Grandma Mingjia, you grew up in the Grand Master's Mansion anyway, you must have seen a lot of good things over the years.

It's just a few gift lists, do you have to read it so loudly? "

Mingjia smiled with eyebrows and eyes crooked: "This servant is happy for the girl. Of course, the more things like presents, the better."

Xia Yueliang couldn't bear her money-losing appearance, so she ordered Chun Zhuo to wash and change her clothes.

After tidying up, she said to Mingjia again: "Since you like receiving gifts so much, then Miss Ben entrusts this task to you.

If you make a single mistake, you will be fined not to eat tonight! "

"Girl—" Mingjia wailed loudly.

For this grand master's birthday banquet, there were countless people who came to the grand master's mansion to celebrate his old man's birthday.

Everyone knows the ways of the world, and while sending a congratulatory gift to the Grand Master, of course they will not forget that his little granddaughter is also born on the same day.

So as many birthday gifts as Taishi received, the girl will naturally have as many congratulatory gifts as well.

There are so many varieties, it is not easy to make a mistake?

Tonight's birthday banquet must have a lot of delicious food, but the girl actually fined her not to eat?

Xia Yueliang and Chun Zhuo held back their laughter and walked out of the Xuexiao Garden together.

The two master and servant walked through the dots of residual snow, admiring the scenery of the mansion all the way, and it took twice as long as usual to arrive at Fengquan Garden.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, he saw an unexpected person standing under an old plum tree.

"Jingshu?" Xia Yueliang whispered, and walked over quickly.

Ever since Yan Shensi left Beijing with Xia Housong, the two haven't seen each other again.

Yan Jingshu dressed up carefully today, and she seemed to be more beautiful than before.

"Tut tsk tsk..." Xia Yueliang sized her up seriously: "It turns out that deep purple is the most suitable for you, it's so beautiful!"

Chunzhuo also said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, the county lord has encountered something good, and he looks so good."

After being praised by both master and servant, Yan Jingshu's cheeks flushed and her complexion became better.

Xia Yue sneered and said, "The birthday banquet won't start until afternoon, why did you come here so early in the morning?"

Yan Jingshu said: "Who are the people who came this afternoon, can they compare with me?"

"I can't, I can't..." Xia Yueliang took her arm: "I said you have come here, why don't you go to Xuexiao Garden to find me, and what are you doing in Fengquan Garden?"

Before Yan Jingshu could reply, a young man in Tsing Yi walked out of the study.

Xia Yueliang was slightly taken aback.

Except for Yan Jingshu, she seemed to have not seen Shen Jing for a long time.

You must know that the two live in the same mansion, and recently she often runs to the outer courtyard, and even Xia Muyang can often meet her.

What's more, the Xia family would get together for dinner every holiday, but Shen Jing was absent several times in a row.

Recently, she was so busy rectifying Wen old fox's matter that she forgot to ask Shen Jing's whereabouts.

She looked at Yan Jingshu, then at Shen Jing.

The behavior of these two people is a bit weird no matter how you look at it, could it be...

Not allowing her to think too much, Shen Jing had already walked in front of the two of them.

"Cousin Moon is always rare."

Xia Yue sneered and said: "I'm afraid you're saying the wrong thing, but I come to Fengquanyuan every day, and I never miss every family banquet, but I never see you."

Shen Jing smiled, but his eyes were not narrowed as before.

"Today is Cousin Yue's birthday, what do you want most?"

Xia Yue gave him a cool look: "Whoever has seen a gift giver has to ask someone first, besides, is it possible that no matter what I want, Cousin Xiaoshu can find it for me?"

Yan Jingshu tugged at her sleeve: "Your mouth is really unforgiving."

Xia Yueliang finally confirmed one thing.

There is a real problem between these two!

But when did this happen? Did the two of them develop too fast?

She clearly remembered that after Shen Jing learned that she was planning to match the two, she seemed to be angry?
