Eunuch Chen directed the young eunuchs and guards to carry the box into the room.
"Wait!"
Mrs. Qin walked quickly into Qin Jiaoxi's yard with the support of Grandma Wang.
"Eunuch Chen, may I ask the Queen Mother if she, um, remembered something wrong?"
Eunuch Chen's eyes widened, and his voice suddenly rose eight degrees:
"What's wrong with your memory? The Queen Mother is very healthy and she never remembers anything wrong!"
Grandma Wang was startled, and quickly reached out and tugged on Mrs. Qin's sleeve: "Madam, why don't we ask about this when we enter the palace in two days?"
Mrs. Qin shook her off and raised her chin: "Eunuch Chen, the person who is engaged to His Royal Highness is the daughter Qin Jiaoyue, and she is not the eldest lady of the Qin family. Does your father-in-law know?"
Eunuch Chen immediately rolled his eyes: "Our family is not dim-sighted, and we heard the Queen Mother's decree correctly. She said that she missed the eldest lady's ninth birthday two years ago. This is to make up for the birthday gifts of the previous five years.
Dare I ask the second lady if she is nine years old?"
Mrs. Qin was shocked.
She did remember something.
Qin Jiaoxi was smart and smart when she was a child, and was deeply loved by the Queen Mother. At that time, she was promoted to the palace every now and then.
The Queen Mother indeed sends birthday gifts to Qin Jiaoxi every year.
Until the year when Qin Jiaoxi was banned... His five-year-old birthday gift was given, but it was all sent to the public school.
Since then, he has never received any reward from the Queen Mother.
What does it mean to suddenly start giving gifts to Qin Jiaoxi again?
Is it because of that person...?
Eunuch Chen rolled his eyes for a long time, and without waiting for a new rebuttal, he immediately rubbed his tired eyelids in displeasure: "Why are you just standing there in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and carry the box in!"
"Wait!"
Mrs. Qin stepped forward and said: "Since she was given to the legitimate daughter of the Qin Mansion, Jiaoxi is still young now, and this courtyard is quite remote. I'm afraid it's not safe to put all the things here. It's better to send them to the Qin Mansion's public school and put them away first."
More appropriate!"
The old eunuch became impatient: "The Queen Mother said that this is a gift for the eldest lady, and it must be handed over to the eldest lady in person. As for where the eldest lady of the Qin family wants to put the things, that is her own preference!"
After a pause: "Mrs. Qin, if you have any objections to the Queen Mother's actions, why don't you go back to the palace with our family to meet the Queen Mother and talk to her?"
The word "objection" came out one after another by chewing words and chewing words.
Mrs. Qin's heart skipped a beat: "My father-in-law said something serious!"
The old eunuch snorted coldly: "Lift it up!"
The young eunuch and the guards immediately carried all the boxes into the left wing and put them away.
Before leaving, the old eunuch turned around and looked around the yard, frowned and murmured:
"The Queen Mother has been regretful these past two days. If it had been... tut, look at where the eldest lady lives now, I'm afraid she would be even more sad!"
Then he turned around and strode out.
Qin Jiaoxi belatedly wanted to give Eunuch Chen something, but found that she had nothing to offer.
Even if it is a piece of silver.
You can't rush into the left wing in front of people, go through boxes and find gifts to give.
After everyone left, Mrs. Qin turned and looked at Qin Jiaoxi: "Xi'er, it's not safe to leave these things in your courtyard..."
Qin Jiaoxi interrupted her coldly: "It's okay, mother, the Queen Mother has always been very kind to Xi'er. Even if something is stolen by a thief in my yard, the Queen Mother will not blame Xi'er, but will give in with anger.
People will go check it out and kill all the thieves who dare to attack Xi'er's things, so don't worry, mother!"
