The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Qiu family were full of resentment. After seeing Concubine Qiu Hui, they had to talk to Concubine Qiu Hui with qiu, especially Mrs. Qiu. She has always been the only one at home, and she has a lot of resentment towards Shan Jingyan in her words.

Now, Concubine Qiu Hui has been immersed in the backyard of King Jin's Mansion for many years, and her temper has long been much more restrained than before. Now that she has become a concubine again, she is even more cautious. When she heard Mrs. Qiu's complaints, she quickly stopped her and said, "Look at what my grandmother said, the Empress wants to be close to you and your mother for a while before she can save you some time. This is a glory that no one can hope for!" Concubine Hui kept winking at Mrs. Qiu while saying that.

Mrs. Qiu followed the eyes of her granddaughter and saw the palace maids and eunuchs standing beside her, and she realized that she had just been a little confused and stopped talking. Concubine Qiu Hui found a reason to send all the palace people out, and then the three grandparents and grandchildren started to whisper.

After Qiu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went out, Shan Jingyan sneered: "The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law really don't look like the female relatives of the Minister of Rites."

Mu Yun hurriedly advised: "What are you angry with them? You are just some people who are confused."

Shan Jingyan chuckled: "What are they? It's not worth making me angry about them." As she said that, Shan Jingyan stood up and walked to the pot of camellia, and said: "I don't know what happened to this pot of flowers lately. You are here, come and help me see it."

Hearing this, Mu Yun hurriedly walked over and looked at it for a while, then smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. It looks like it's a bit flooded. I don't have to water it too much recently."

Shan Jingyan reached out to hold a beautiful flower and said, "The craftsmen in the Imperial Flower House have also cultivated some camellias themselves. I have gone to see them. Although they look quite energetic, I think they are not as spiritual as you raise."

Mu Yun said modestly: "The Empress is too famous, and they are all the same flowers and plants. How can I compare with the craftsmen in the Imperial Flower House?"

Shan Jingyan smiled and said, "Don't be too humble, why are you so amazing? There are two eighteen bachelors sent by others in my back hall, which are quite spiritual. Let's go and have a look together."

Of course, there will not be only two camellias in the back hall of Cining Palace. At that time, the Empress Dowager liked orchids, and there were many orchids here that had not been transplanted. In addition, there were many strange flowers and plants. Although most of the colors were plain and light, they were not very conspicuous, but they were really fragrant when smelled from afar, and the fragrance of flowers was pleasant.

The two were chatting among the flowers, and the palace people fell from afar.

While he was talking, a palace servant came in and reported, "I have reported to Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager heard that Mrs. Wen brought Miss Wen and wanted to invite two of you to talk."

Shan Jingyan smiled and said, "Since the Empress Dowager is summoned, you can go there." Anyway, everything she wants to say has been finished.

So Muyun took Xiao Pumpkin and Shuhua to bid farewell to Shan Jingyan and followed the palace servants to Ci'an Palace.

The Queen Mother has seen Mu Yun many times, but this is the first time she has met Shuhua and Xiao Nanpu today. She thought that the appearance of the Queen and Chu Zhi was outstanding, but she didn't expect that the two little girls in front of her would be very beautiful.

The Empress Dowager waved and said, "Good boy comes to me." Little Pumpkin and Shuhua looked at Muyun at the same time. After seeing Muyun nodding, they walked to the Empress Dowager as they said.

The Empress Dowager held Xiao Pumpkin's little hand for a while, then looked at Shuhua again. She looked up and down the two of them and couldn't help but praise: "I'm really a beauty. How old are you all this year? What books are you reading at home?"

Shuhua was older and they all answered one by one. Although she was a little nervous when she saw the queen mother for the first time, Shuhua was quite generous and did not seem timid.

When Xiao Nanpump saw that the Empress Dowager was gentle and kind, she was a little afraid of nervousness, and she was no longer so nervous. Then she honestly answered the Empress Dowager's question one by one. The Empress Dowager originally liked young and beautiful girls, and she felt even more happy when she met two generous children.

It just so happened that Concubine Xue, no, should be called Concubine Xue now. After the late emperor's great service, the new emperor naturally treated the widows of the late emperor, especially the concubines with children, who were basically promoted to Concubine Xue. However, Concubine Xue did not, because her rank was already high enough, so she was only promoted to Concubine Xue.

Now, Concubine Xue brought her daughter Princess Leping to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager. Speaking of which, because of Mu Yun's relationship, she had not said that she had had an unhappy relationship with Yuan Chuzhi, but she was punished by the Empress Dowager Xian.

Now that I think of the past, Concubine Xue couldn't bear to look at the young and frivolous self at that time: Why was she so stupid at the beginning? She was so provoked by someone and hurriedly offended someone who had nothing to do with her? It's so ridiculous to think about it now.

Coming to his senses, Concubine Xue looked at Mu Yun with a little unresponsive feeling. The two had met a few times before, but they could say a few words. Until they saw Shuhua and Little Pumpkin beside Mu Yun, Concubine Xue suddenly felt her eyes lit up: Even after spending so many years in the beautiful harem, the two little girls in front of her made her feel very beautiful and charming.

Although Shuhua and Wen Tingzhou have a far-reaching relationship, the Yun family itself is good-looking, and Yulan is one of the best beauties among the Yun family's peers. Moreover, Shuhua's appearance is somewhat similar to Wen Tingzhou's cousin, especially the oval face unique to the Yun family, which made the two of them imagine a lot at once.

Little Pumpkin has not grown much because she is young, but she has the face shape of a girl in the Yun family and her facial features have picked up the advantages of her parents. At a young age, she has already shown a bit of brilliance as bright as spring and as bright as autumn moon.

A cute and polite girl is easily loved by others and can easily arouse favors from older women rather than rejection. In fact, to put it bluntly, no matter which era, she is very popular!

Concubine Xue held Xiao Nanzhu's hand and looked at it for a while before laughing, "The Empress is really the case. I know that such an outstanding little girl would not have summoned her to the palace earlier to open her eyes, so she would hide it. Could it be that she was afraid that someone would snatch it away? Are we who are that kind of people?"

Her words made the Empress Dowager laugh. She pointed at Concubine Xue and said with a smile: "The girl is so young that she can't stand the thumping jokes of you? Especially for someone like you who has a son, if you repeatedly have a thought of kidnapping someone, wouldn't it worry the queen even more?"

Concubine Xue smiled and said, "I used to think that although Xiaojiu was not very outstanding, she was able to show off. I really like this lady in the capital. It's not that they are not worthy of my son, but that they are all too well-behaved. When I met two little girls from the Wen family today, I realized that it was not that I had a high vision or that I had never seen any good things. Now let me tell you that it's actually that Xiaojiu is not worthy of others."

The Empress Dowager and Concubine Xue were having sex with each other. Mu Yun couldn't get in the mouth for a while, but he was secretly anxious: Why did you hear this tone? Concubine Xue seemed to have taken a fancy to her daughter? Please, your daughter is only five years old!!

She thought for a while: I don’t know if the Empress knows Concubine Xue’s plan, or if this happens today, it was originally arranged by the Queen and the Queen Mother…

When Mu Yun heard this, he couldn't help feeling nervous. When she talked to Wen Tingzhou about her daughter's future, she and Wen Tingzhou had said in the past that she would not want her to marry into a wealthy family and would not let her join the royal family. The couple just wanted to find her a middle-class family with a simpler family.

Mu Yun was unable to tell the truth about Concubine Xue's words at this moment, so he had to respond with a forced smile: "Concubine Xue is really joking. The ninth prince is so noble. What kind of girl is not worthy of? My daughter is naughty. My husband and I have only one daughter and I are inevitably a little pampered on weekdays. Now she looks pretty well-behaved here and loves to play and make fun at home."

Concubine Xue smiled indifferently and said, "What's the matter? It's normal for such a young girl to love to play and make fun of her. When I was a child, I also liked to play with my sisters."

The Empress Dowager also laughed and said, "That's right, such a girl is at the age of being lively and active, and she is not restrained, and finally she looks like a wooden stake. If she reaches the age of the Ai family, she will not have so much energy to play even if she wants to play."

After saying that, the queen mother looked at Xiao Nanpu gently: "The child's eyes were full of agility, and he could tell he was a lively person at first glance." At that time, wasn't his niece at this age when she left?

Both empresses were smiling and constantly praised Xiao Pumpkin, while Mu Yun could only occasionally speak humble. She looked proud on her face, but her heart couldn't help but feel a little heavier.

After coming out of the palace, Mu Yun was worried in the carriage when she returned, but when she saw Xiao Nanpu and Shuhua looking happy, she had to cheer up. Mu Yun felt that they were still young and she should not let her know too much about some things.

After returning home, the two little monkey brothers and Yulan were worried about the three people who entered the palace, so they came to the main yard early after school in the afternoon. They were naturally very happy to see that the three of them came back safely.

Especially Shuhua also received many things that the Empress Dowager, Empress and others rewarded. After the maids carried them in, they set up a small kang. The boys didn't care about these things, but they just took a casual look. Seeing that their mother, sister and sister came back safely, they no longer had their previous worries and went to the garden to have fun.

Although Shuhua is as steady as a little adult on weekdays, she is still young and has received so many rewards as soon as she enters the palace, so she is naturally happy. Although there are quite a few things she has received from her cousin’s aunt, none of them are hers, but these are indeed given to her alone, so how could she be unhappy?

While Shuhua was happy, she couldn't help but show off and said with a smile: "Mom, look at these things. At first I heard that my aunt was going to take me into the palace to see the queen, and she was happy all night."

As she said that, she exclaimed: "I was a little nervous when I entered the palace and was a little scared. I thought it would be enough to have paid homage to the Queen Mother, but later I heard in the palace that I had to pay homage to the Queen Mother. Fortunately, my cousin comforted me, so I barely calmed down. Later, when I went to Ci'an Palace to meet the Queen Mother, I found that she was not the same as I imagined, and she was very gentle.

Yes, there was an indescribable elegance in every move, which was really impressive. I also met Concubine Xue and Princess Leping in the palace of the Empress Dowager. Princess Leping is the eldest daughter of Concubine Xue. I looked one or two years older than me. She was not arrogant and had very rules in her actions. Concubine Xue was also very happy and friendly..." She told her mother about her experiences in the palace today.

Then he pointed at the things on the kang and pointed them one by one to Yulan: "Mom, look, this is the Empress Dowager, this is the Empress Dowager, and these are the Empress Dowager Xia..."

Although the jewelry that Shan Jingyan admired was expensive, she had looked for magnolia before, and there was nothing to say about giving such a heavy reward. The Queen Mother's reward was considered to be a normal one, which was four fashionable palace satin and a seven-treasure jewel circle in the style of a lotus.

The things that Concubine Xue gave to Shuhua were fine, but only two tribute Yunjin were thrown into pieces, and there was also a pair of green jade bracelets.

But the gift she gave to the little pumpkin was indecipherable. In addition to two Song brocades, there was also a pair of white jade carved phoenix hairpins. Needless to say, the jade quality was naturally the best Hetian white jade, with a gentle, delicate and restrained luster.

However, the pattern of this jade hairpin is not unthinkable. The Dayuan Dynasty still has relatively strict regulations on wearing jewelry. Phoenix Totem has always been available to only royal women.

Although the jewelry worn by these edicts often calls them big phoenix hairpins and small phoenix hairpins, they are just bird patterns similar to phoenixes. This is just a nice sound, not a real phoenix pattern.

If Mu Yun didn't know what Concubine Xue meant at this moment, then she would be too stupid and would be ashamed of her having traveled through such years.
