Under the "care" of the Jiang family, Zheng family and others, in the following days, Ye Qinglan lived an unprecedentedly prosperous life in Changyuan Bo's house.
The food, drink, and clothing are much better than before. Brand-new dresses and jewelry are delivered every now and then. Jiang's attitude towards her has become more than ten times more cordial and easy-going. Xue doesn't dare to be as casual as before.
He gave her a sullen expression.
Most of the maids and ladies in the mansion are people who are high-minded and have low expectations. How can they not be attentive after seeing this attitude? Even Ruixue and other maids also took advantage of it, feeling very proud and proud.
"Miss, I went to the warehouse today and wanted to find a vase to put flowers. Guess what?" Guiyuan said with a beaming smile: "The mother who is in charge of the warehouse ignored her at first, but when she heard that I was
The people around Miss Ten immediately put on smiling faces and brought many vases for slaves to choose from!"
While talking, Guiyuan happily placed the delicate vase with a narrow neck and round mouth painted with orchids on the table as if it were a treasure: "Miss, look at this vase, isn't it beautiful? I will put this vase in the house from now on."
, I pick some flowers from the garden and put them in every day..."
Ye Qinglan looked at Guiyuan's round face with lively eyebrows, pursed her lips and smiled, feeling a little sad in her heart.
She was not favored in the house, and the maids around her were also frustrated everywhere. In the past, when Guiyuan went to the warehouse to find something, the woman in charge of the warehouse would always deliberately make things difficult, dragging her feet and refusing to give. Now that the situation has changed, these women in charge immediately
He became more attentive.
However, this is undoubtedly a good thing for her and the maids around her...
Just as she was thinking about it, Ying'er also came excitedly, holding a few boxes of snacks with a smile: "Miss, these are specially sent by Xiang Ling next to the old lady. She said that the old lady specially gave them to the young lady." The snacks are good.
It doesn't matter whether you eat or not, what matters is the dignity and scenery. Therefore, Ying'er's face almost glowed.
These days, such things have happened so often that Ye Qinglan was not interested at first, and smiled casually: "Leave a little of each snack for me to try. You can share the rest among the rest!"
How could she eat so many snacks by herself? As the saying goes, it is better to have fun alone than to have fun together, so let everyone try something new.
Ying'er had been serving Ye Qinglan for a long time and was familiar with her easy-going and gentle temper. She thanked her happily and went down with the snacks in her hands.
Ruomei peeked into the air and flashed in. Ye Qinglan suddenly understood and asked in a low voice: "Did Cousin Gu send me the news?"
Ruomei nodded with a smile, took out a roll of paper from the hidden pocket in her sleeve and gave it to Ye Qinglan's hand.
For more than a month, Ye Qinglan stayed peacefully in the house and never left the house. However, the incident between her and Gu Xinian was widely circulated in the aristocratic circles. It became the most sensational news in the capital this year.
Xie Peng was still banned, and there was news that a beautiful third princess was pregnant in the prince's palace. None of it was as shocking as the epic love story between her and Gu Xinian.
Needless to say, Gu Xinian. He is the most dazzling and outstanding aristocratic son in the capital. He is the dream lover of almost all unmarried girls and the best son-in-law in the eyes of aristocratic women. Because Shen Qiuyu has always been single.
He was willing to get married, and he showed no pretense to any woman who admired him. He had long become a legend in the eyes of everyone. Many people had secretly speculated whether Gu Xinian would continue like this and never marry a wife.
As for Ye Qinglan, before this incident, she was an unknown concubine. She had hardly attracted anyone's attention. Now that news suddenly came out that she and Gu Xinian were getting engaged, the shock was no less powerful than an atomic bomb explosion.
For a moment, almost everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Qinglan.
Everyone wants to see what kind of woman can capture the heart of the dignified Fourth Young Master Gu!
It is a pity that after the wedding banquet at Duke Dingguo's mansion, Ye Qinglan never showed his face again. No matter how curious everyone is, they can't rush to Changyuan Uncle's mansion to see Ye Qinglan! So, there are some idle and curious nobles.
The women sent invitations to Uncle Changyuan's house, inviting Miss Ye Shi by name to visit and enjoy flowers. Unfortunately, Miss Ye Shi was slightly ill and was resting peacefully, so it was not convenient for her to leave the house. She came to send the invitations.
All the maids and women were turned back without exception.
Of course, everyone knows that the so-called slight illness is just an excuse. The real reason is that Miss Ye Shi is unwilling to come out to meet people at such a sensitive time.
Jiang and others also agreed with Ye Qinglan's approach. The engagement was just a subtle hint from Mrs. Zheng. Only when the Queen's decree of marriage actually came to the palace, the dust would be settled. Before the situation was completely clear,
Before, keeping a low profile was the smartest thing to do.
With the tacit approval of her elders, Ye Qinglan has been "resting in peace".
During this period, Gu Xinian sent two letters.
One time was after the wedding banquet. After Mrs. Sun knew what Mrs. Zheng had done, she had a very unpleasant quarrel with Mrs. Zheng. Regarding this matter, Gu Xinian did not describe it in detail, only a few words. However, Ye Qinglan just relied on
If you imagine, you can also guess that the noise will not be small.
Sun's reason for opposing Ye Qinglan was very simple and high-sounding. Ye Qinglan was of low status and was not worthy of Gu Xinian. However, Mrs. Zheng completely sided with Gu Xinian and argued hard. The two sides were at loggerheads and broke up unhappily.
The other time was a month later, when Gu Xinian came again with good news. Sun had been in a stalemate and refused to nod, but the matter of Gu Xinian and Ye Qinglan had spread to everyone, even the people in the palace.
Queen Gu was alarmed. It is said that she specially took Sun into the palace. After the mother and daughter met and talked, Sun's attitude finally softened a lot. Although she was still very unhappy, she finally kept silent.
As for Dingguo Gong, after weighing the situation, he nodded and agreed to the marriage.
Although Ye Qinglan trusted Gu Xinian, she did not expect that he could resolve the matter so quickly and neatly. She has been immersed in joy these past few days. The next thing she has to do is to wait patiently for the decree of marriage...
Unexpectedly, only seven or eight days later, Gu Xinian would have someone deliver a letter to her again. What would happen this time?
Ye Qinglan unfolded the paper and read it carefully.
Concubine Shen's birthday is in two days, and the Prince's Palace will send someone to pick you up. There will definitely be many noble women there on that day. Don't worry, I will go too!
After just two sentences, Ye Qinglan looked at her for a long time. There was a faint smile on her lips. Was Gu Xinian reminding her that there would definitely be many curious and even malicious looks that day?
Thinking further, this incident was probably not accidental, but something Shen Qiuyu did deliberately.
With Shen Qiuyu's status in the Prince's Mansion at the moment, even if there is no extravagance on her birthday, many female relatives will go there. Judging from Shen Qiuyu's big heart, it is simply impossible not to take advantage of such a rare opportunity to stumble her.
matter……
Ruomei has a calm temperament and has been standing quietly on the side without talking too much.
After a long time, Ye Qinglan said calmly: "Go and find out for me whether the Prince's Mansion has sent an invitation."
Ruomei responded respectfully and quickly retreated. Before she left the Hefeng Courtyard, she saw Xiang Ling, the maid next to Jiang, walking over in a hurry: "Ruomei, is Miss Ten in the house? The old lady ordered me to come and invite you. Miss Ten went to Changhe Hall to talk."
Ruomei had no choice but to turn back and report the matter to Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan hummed, got up and went to Changhe Hall. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Mrs. Jiang looking over with a kind smile on her face.
…
Although she had adapted to it for more than a month, Ye Qinglan could not help but shudder in her heart. A polite and gentle smile appeared on her face: "Grandma, why did you call me here?"
Jiang smiled kindly and said: "The steward in the Prince's Mansion sent an invitation, saying that Concubine Shen's birthday will be in three days, and he specially invites you to a gathering at the Prince's Mansion. I have accepted it on your behalf." I can push other invitations if I can, but I can't push this invitation, so I can only accept it happily.
Mrs. Jiang paused, and then continued: "Since you are going to be a guest at the prince's residence, you can't dress too shabby. Fortunately, I just bought you new clothes and jewelry a few days ago. If there is anything missing, just ask."
Ye Qinglan had already been mentally prepared and was not surprised when she heard this. She responded respectfully: "Thank you for your trouble, grandma."
Seeing that she was so calm, Mrs. Jiang's heart moved, and she asked tentatively: "Did you already know that there would be this invitation?" No girl should be so calm when receiving an invitation from the Prince's Mansion. Unless There was a verbal invitation before!
Ye Qinglan knew that she could not hide it from the Jiang family, so she simply told her directly: "Reporting to my grandmother, the last time I met with the Queen in the palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Concubine Shen were also there. At that time, I made a verbal invitation."
Jiang's smile did not diminish, but there were turbulent waves in her heart.
This girl is too calm! She has kept such a thing a secret for so long! If it were another girl, Prince Meng and the concubine, who looked at her differently, they would have been able to shake it off and show off. But she didn't even say a word!
She is only a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, but her palace is not inferior to that of an adult. It is even more unfathomable to marry into the Duke of Dingguo in the future. Maybe this girl will be the most promising among the several granddaughters in the future. one……
Jiang decided in a short period of time to treat Ye Qinglan better in the future.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Jiang's smile became more friendly: "You kid, what's the point of hiding such a good thing? By the way, you have to prepare some congratulatory gifts when going to the Prince's Mansion so as not to be rude. I happen to have a new piece of jade here. , the quality of jade is very good, it can be made into bracelets or hostas. Just take this piece of jade with you!" (To be continued.
