Chapter 433
Early the next morning, before Shen Qinglan woke up, Yan'er woke her up in a hurry, and directly opened the curtain.

"Wake up, princess, someone is coming from the Duke's Mansion!"

Shen Qinglan turned over and asked in a daze, "What kind of government... Which one is it?"

"It's the Yuan family of the Duke's Mansion who sent in the posts and portraits a few days ago!" Yan'er said.

Shen Qinglan opened his eyes, "I really can't live in peace for a moment."

"Princess, get up quickly, you have already arrived at the main hall of Jiahe Residence." Yan'er said.

"Quick, change my clothes, wash my face, and make up for me..."

After saying that, Shen Qinglan yawned. She was a little late looking at the portraits last night, but she didn't expect the Yuan family to kill her early in the morning.

"Hey, come quickly and wash up the concubine!" Yan'er ordered.

After tossing about for nearly two quarters of an hour, Shen Qinglan packed up and rushed to Jiaheju immediately.

On the way, Shen Qinglan asked, "Who are the people from the Yuan family?"

"I heard from the steward that it's the Duke's wife and the third daughter, Yuan Jinyu. Wangfei, I'm afraid the person who came here is not kind." Yan'er said.

Shen Qinglan smiled lightly, "Forget it, let's go for a while, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it."

Arriving at the main hall of Jiahe Residence, after Shen Qinglan entered, the two female family members of the Yuan family did not stand up directly to salute, but waited for her to take a seat at the main seat, and then stood up calmly, showing no sign of respect.

"Meet the Princess Regent."

Shen Qinglan didn't ask them to sit down directly, but said to the maid of Jiaheju: "Come here, exchange a cup of hot tea for Mrs. Guogong and Miss."

Since they were contemptuous, as the regent princess, she couldn't put down her figure and take the initiative to show her favor.

"cough……"

The Duke's wife cleared her throat, and Shen Qinglan raised her eyes to look at her, and said, "You two are welcome, please sit down."

"The princess regent got up so early, it's really not easy for us mother and daughter to see the princess." The Duke's wife said.

"My concubine didn't expect that the Duke's wife and the young lady would come here uninvited, and they didn't hand over invitations beforehand, which caught me off guard. But... anyway, the Duke's wife is an elder, and the younger generation is late today. , Madam please forgive me." Shen Qinglan said.

The Duke's wife smiled awkwardly, and said: "Where is the princess, she is too old."

At this time, the maid of Jiaheju brought new tea, Shen Qinglan slightly hooked her lips, and said with a smile: "My wife and lady are welcome, you are welcome, you two are welcome, just speak up if you have anything to say. "

Mrs. Guo took a look at Miss Yuan San, and said: "My sister and I have something to ask for, and it's not a big deal. To the princess, it's just a matter of one word."

Shen Qinglan picked up the teacup and didn't ask any further questions, just waiting for her to continue talking.

After a while, the Duke's wife took a look at her, continued to smile and said: "A few days ago, our Duke Yuan's mansion sent you a portrait and post of your sister, is the princess satisfied?"

"Madam was joking, how can I be the master of such a big matter, I just sift through it, and then give it to the elders to decide." Shen Qinglan said.

"But... I heard that the princess didn't send the portrait of our third girl to the palace. Why?" Mrs. Guo asked.

"Recently, I have received hundreds of portraits every day. I am really unable to do what I want, so this portrait will probably be later. Madam, please rest assured that the third lady of your mansion is gentle and pleasant, and she will definitely be selected." Shen Qinglan said.

"Wangfei said so, I knew it in my heart. I don't know...Will the princess send the portraits of our three girls first? These three years, our three girls have been weak and sick, and have never met the empress dowager. What the empress dowager means... ...I want to take this opportunity to meet up with you." Mrs. Guo said.

"Really?" Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows lightly, "I don't understand, is there any necessary connection between sending the portrait of the third lady of your mansion into the palace first, and meeting the empress dowager with the third lady?"

"The empress dowager is not feeling well recently, we don't want to bother her, so I want to let the empress dowager see the portrait of our girl first." Mrs. Guogong said.

Shen Qinglan nodded, "That's how it is. Ma'am, my concubine has been feeling a little unwell recently. Where are the portraits of Miss San, we can't find them one by one. When we find them, we will naturally send them. "

"Wangfei, the Empress Dowager trusts you and entrusts you to take charge of this matter, but you are prevaricating like this. I'm afraid it's not good?" the Duke's wife said again.

Shen Qinglan kept silent with a cold face, and opened his mouth after a while, saying: "So, the lady of the country doesn't believe in this princess? This princess is young, and it is true that she is not capable enough, but the queen mother trusts her, so it is not easy to refuse .Since the Duke’s wife has said so, why don’t I go and tell the Queen Mother in person, how about entrusting this task to you? I believe the Duke’s wife will be able to handle it decently.”

After hearing this, the Duke's Madam was a little timid, and hurriedly said: "Princess...Princess, what are you talking about? How could I not believe you? Although you are young, you are thoughtful and thoughtful. People don't know. I'm just a courtier, and I haven't seen any big world, so don't make fun of me, princess."

"Mrs. Guogong praised me. This princess was born in a merchant family and has never seen any big world. Although my second elder brother is now an official, it is just an inconspicuous job in the household department. This princess has no knowledge. But I also know that drafting for His Majesty is a major event, one should not hide traitors for selfishness, and one should not be careless, Madam, do you think so?" Shen Qinglan said.

"Yes, yes, what the wangfei said was true. I was the one who was abrupt. Since you are not feeling well, wangfei, we will not disturb your rest. The concubine will leave." The Duke's wife said.

"Go slowly, Ma'am, I'm sorry I can't see you off."

Mrs. Guogong and Miss Yuan San hurriedly left Linyuan. On the way, Mrs. Guogong was always preoccupied.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Yuan Jinyu asked.

Mrs. Guogong sighed, "This girl is really amazing."

"Mother is talking about the princess regent?" Yuan Jinyu asked.

"Who else could it be if it wasn't her? Look at her overall demeanor, doesn't she look like a woman from a merchant family? It is not an exaggeration to say that she was from a noble family. Although she didn't say anything serious, she could say everything The key point. I think your mother is also smart and able to argue, but I was blocked by her and couldn't speak a word." The Duke's wife said.

Yuan Jinyu pouted, and said, "What... Mother is exaggerating too much. The regent princess is just more beautiful, and she is worthy of being born in a noble family?"

"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense!"

Mrs. Guogong sighed helplessly. The third girl in her family is still young, and she was raised by her since she was a child, and she has no plans in her heart.Now that she came to visit Shen Qinglan in private, she knew how far the gap between her daughter and the current princess regent was.

Thinking of this, she asked, "Yu'er, tell mother, do you really want to enter the palace and be His Majesty's concubine?"
