Qiao Jinniang went to Mrs. Hou's courtyard, only to find out that Lord Hou had gone to the military camp last night and never returned.

She followed her mother to her grandmother.

In the old lady's courtyard, there was a faint scent of sandalwood, and Qiao Jinniang guessed that the old lady was worshiping the Buddha.

With the support of the maid, Qiao Jinniang knelt down to salute the old lady, "Jinniang has seen grandma."

The old lady asked people to help Qiao Jinniang up again and again, "My son, come and sit next to grandma. He looks exactly like your mother. It's that bitch who is waiting for her heart to kill you!"

Qiao Jinniang said: "Grandmother, that person is gone, you should not be angry anymore, your granddaughter is doing very well."

The old lady instructed Mrs. Hou: "Jinniang is back, the ranking in the mansion will be changed, from now on Jinniang will be called the second young lady, and the other young ladies will be moved down one.

Jinniang is back, and the mansion also wants to entertain guests, we must not let those noble girls in Chang'an underestimate our eldest daughter of Marquis Anyuan.

Over there at the Duke's Mansion, you need to move around more, that child Ruoyun is a good one, don't let her be wronged because of this. "

"It's mother, I know it all." Mrs. Hou replied respectfully.

The old lady waved her hand and asked all the servants to go down, and then she asked Mrs. Hou: "Yesterday I accompanied the old lady of the Anning Hou Mansion, and later I heard that the little prince in the East Palace...is going to call the third girl... Fourth girl, mistook her for mother?"

"Hey, that's just a child who doesn't know what to say. I heard from the crown prince that the fourth girl looks a bit like the little prince's mother."

The old lady turned the Buddhist beads in her hand and said: "Don't think I'm biased. If Ruofeng and Ruowan are allowed to enter the East Palace, I'll be sure. That said, it's not a good thing."

Mrs. Hou naturally understood, "Ruoshui's temper is really not suitable for entering the palace, but if the East Palace really proposes for the little prince..."

The old lady fiddled with the beads, "The crown prince has been missing for three years in the south of the Yangtze River, and suddenly he brought back a child.

But it didn't say whether the mother was dead or alive, if she was alive, she would give birth to the crown prince's eldest son, no matter if it was a side concubine or Liangdi, even the crown prince would be afraid of it.

If it is dead, it will be even more troublesome. Your Majesty and the Queen love the grandson very much. If Ruoshui enters the East Palace and wants to raise this child under Ruoshui's name, it will be difficult to be a stepmother since ancient times..."

When Qiao Jinniang heard this, she said, "The prince has been missing in Jiangnan for three years? When did you return to Chang'an?"

"It looks like early February." The old lady replied, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Jinniang shook her head again and again, "It's nothing."

This is probably a coincidence, how could the dignified prince marry into a merchant?

However, after three years of disappearance, the age of the little emperor's grandson is all right.

Qiao Jinniang felt that she missed Brother Tuan so much that she had such delusional thoughts.

The old lady pondered for a while and said: "Our Qiao family doesn't need another imperial concubine to shine on the lintel, you should make a marriage for Ruoshui as soon as possible, so that you don't want to enter the palace."

After discussing the major issues, the old lady asked Qiao Jinniang about Jiangnan.

The mother wanted to hide the matter of marrying and having children, so Qiao Jinniang didn't mention it.

She picked it up and said it nicely.

Seeing that Qiao Jinniang had no complaints, the old lady was overjoyed, and ordered someone to reward Qiao Jinniang with a lot of treasures from her private treasury.

Qiao Jinniang saluted and accepted it, "Thank you grandma, but it cost grandma."

When it was time for the old lady to recite scriptures, Qiao Jinniang went out with Mrs. Hou. Qiao Jinniang tentatively asked Mrs. Hou, "Mother, does the eldest grandson of the emperor look like His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"The likeness is quite similar, as if it was carved out of the same mold, especially the pair of picky eyes that are exactly the same as the empress's. No wonder His Majesty loves it so much."

Qiao Jinniang's heart trembled, Brother Tuan also has peach blossom eyes, and he looks quite similar to that dog...

Mrs. An Yuanhou asked softly: "Daughters in the world are more like parents, why do you ask this?"

Qiao Jinniang replied with a smile: "I'm just curious about the prince's appearance. I heard that the prince is very popular in the street yesterday. My daughter has never seen a royal person before, so I am a little curious."

Qiao Jinniang is self-aware, and won't be cheeky because the little emperor's grandson was born by herself.

Even with so many coincidences, Qiao Jinniang felt that the possibility was unlikely.

After all, that is the prince!

How can she let the prince be her husband-in-law?

Besides, that heartless bastard will definitely not be able to be the prince!

Mrs. An Yuanhou patted her daughter's hand and said: "Your Majesty met the Empress not long after he came to the throne. Although he was a round older than the Empress, he loved her very much. The harem has been useless for the past twenty years, which shows the favor the Prince has received. "

Qiao Jinniang said: "Your Majesty is very affectionate."

Mrs. Anyuanhou sneered, "For the empress, it's affectionate and righteous, but for the other concubines...

If you say this, you will be beheaded, and the royal family is not such a good place to go. As long as your sister wants to be a princess, no matter how much she persuades her, she is now fifteen, and she has not even decided on a marriage. "

Qiao Jinniang was surprised at Madam Anyuanhou's boldness and transparency, and comforted her: "Mother, don't worry, there are many girls who are only married at the age of seventeen or eighteen in the prosperous age. My friends in Jiangnan are still in their boudoirs."

If it weren't for the sudden illness of her parents, Qiao Jinniang would not have married so early.

Nowadays in Chang'an, people will not laugh at people who get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen.

Mrs. An Yuanhou said: "That's not bad, you are only eighteen years old now, and you don't treat women as harshly as in the previous dynasty, and there are many divorced and remarried women.

Mother will definitely find you a good husband-in-law. "

Qiao Jinniang was slightly taken aback, "Mother, I only want Brother Tuan."

Mrs. Hou said: "Brother Tuan will find it, but Brother Tuan's wolf-hearted father is really not a human being. If you don't worry about it, you can take it with you, Brother Tuan. If you don't worry about staying in the Hou's mansion, you will be a cousin." !"

Qiao Jinniang never thought that her mother had already planned her future.

It's just that she doesn't want to be contaminated with any love now.

That dog thing kept saying the oath of the month before and after, and in the end, it was just a short letter of divorce.

Qiao Jinniang followed Mrs. Hou back to her yard, and saw Qiao Ruoshui and sisters Qiao Ruoyi.

When Qiao Ruoshui saw the woman in front of her who was wearing a thin spring shirt, with an exquisite figure and even more exquisite and beautiful appearance than her, Qiao Ruoshui had sympathized with her sister who had been reduced to a servant's daughter a few months ago.

But when they learned that their parents wanted to bring her back, they made a fuss. Letting a servant girl who was raised in the countryside come to Chang'an would definitely lose her face.

Yesterday, quite a few noble ladies said sarcastically that she wanted to have an extra sister.

Qiao Ruoshui thought that she would definitely meet a disheveled woman, but she had such a good temperament.

Qiao Ruoyi saluted first, "I've seen my mother, this one is the eldest sister, right?"

Qiao Jinniang deduced from her appearance that this should be the concubine's younger sister, so she saluted, "Hello Fifth Sister, this is a small gift for Fifth Sister from Jiangnan."

Nuomi behind him took out a beautifully carved wooden box and handed it to Qiao Ruoyi.

Qiao Ruoyi smelled the fragrance: "Is this the fragrance of ink?"

Qiao Jinniang nodded and said, "This is the special gold silk ink from Huizhou. I heard that my sister likes calligraphy and painting, so I prepared this for my sister."

Qiao Ruoyi was delighted, and Fushen said, "Thank you sister, I like it very much."

Gold silk ink has always been said to be more valuable than gold, and it only pays fifty yuan a year, which is not enough for official gifts. It can be seen that it is very expensive, and it can also be seen that Qiao Jinniang prepared the gifts with care.

Qiao Ruoshui snorted, "What's a small piece of ink?"

Madam Hou glared at Qiao Ruoshui, "Isn't it rude to see your sister?"

"My elder sister is Qiao Ruoyun, the wife of the Duke of Qin's mansion, not some wild girl from the countryside!" Qiao Ruoshui said with her head held high.

Madam Hou was extremely annoyed, she patted the table and said, "You, if you don't recognize Jinniang, don't call her my daughter in the future!"

Qiao Jinniang had never seen Mrs. Hou express such a great anger, and repeatedly persuaded: "Mother, the fourth sister is just young, this is the first gift of Dongzhu I prepared for the fourth sister."

After handing over the glutinous rice, Qiao Ruoshui dropped the box directly, and the huge Dongzhu's head fell to the ground and shattered.
