Xunxiang said, "Mom, my mother-in-law is in very bad health. She shed tears when she saw me, and my cousin and cousin were also very sad...My mother, father, and brother all need to be well. Health is more important than anything else."

"When I see Master Mingyuan next time, I will ask for a rosary like the emperor's grandfather and give it to my mother."

After hearing this, Dongyang also felt a little soft-hearted. He said to Xunxiang, "So you can't be willful and you can't get over the illness."

"Well, listen to me."

Seeing that Dongyang was no longer angry, Xunxiang said to Xun Yibo again, "Brother, let's go play. I'll accompany my mother."

Xun Yibo smiled and said, "A few people in the same year invited me to read in the Sipin Study Room."

He also winked at Xun Xiang.

Xun Xiang sent him out, and Xun Yibo whispered, "The people who asked me out were some cousins ​​and Brother Li Ren. Brother Li Ren also asked me to ask my sister over. He misses you."

Xunxiang didn't know that Ding Liren was also in the fourth-grade study, otherwise she would have gone to talk to him.

Xunxiang said, "I will stay with my mother at home today, and I will go back to Ding Mansion to see them another day."

After dinner in Dongyang, Xunxiang smiled and said to Aunt Chai, "I want to make a pair of beautiful socks for my mother with my own hands. Auntie knows my mother's preferences and comes to help me choose a pattern."

Aunt Chai smiled and said, "The princess is interested."

When she came to Ziyuan's study, Xunxiang took out several patterns she had drawn herself.

The different little flowers made Grandma Chai's jaw drop.

"My God, there are flowers like this. They look alike but they are different, but they are unique and beautiful."

The two talked about what flowers to embroider and what colors they wanted.

After sending the others away, Xunxiang whispered to Aunt Chai.

"The person around my mother, the one I feel most at ease with is my grandma. My uncles are currently fighting fiercely, and I'm afraid that my mother will be mistreated by others if she doesn't pay attention. I have taken good care of my mother and don't let her go with her. Which prince has too many contacts?

"In order to prevent other princesses from siding with each other privately, don't have too much contact with the princess. If my mother doesn't listen, come and tell me privately what she did..."

Among the elderly people around Dongyang, Aunt Chai is the smartest and the most eloquent. Only she dares to admonish Dongyang.

These are troubled times. Although Prince Consort Xun occasionally got together with King Qi and Prince Consort Shen, they mostly spent time reading and drinking tea, and would not be instigated to do bad things.

But Princess Dongyang has no brains and is afraid that she will be deceived.

Aunt Chai always felt that the two young masters could see the situation more clearly than Dongyang. Especially the princess who returned home later was able to please the emperor in the shortest time, which no one else could do.

She thought for a while and said, "Her Royal Highness, the old slave has been serving her since she was ten years old. She is a good person and has no bad intentions. Alas, she is just too kind and does not bother to play tricks with those people, so she is easily harmed. .

"After Su and Gao Feng died, Her Highness the Princess only had good relations with Princess Xiyang, followed by Princess Qi. The old slave could see that although Princess Xiyang followed Her Highness in everything, she was Linglong's sweetheart the most... …”

This is a smart person.

Xunxiang looked at her and smiled and said, "Not only my father, brother, and I know that grandma is the most loyal, but also the emperor's grandmother. She often said that fortunately my mother has Qingqing by her side."

Qingqing is Aunt Chai’s maiden name.

Aunt Chai's eyes were red with excitement, "How can I be so virtuous and talented as an old slave? The Queen still remembers my nickname."

She thought for a while, then said with a blushing face, "There is something that I have always wanted to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not. Today the princess had an explanation, so I just said it..."

In the past six months, Xiyang has given Dongyang a red gold pocket watch, two glass-shaded wall lamps, two cloisonné enamel vases and other imported items. These things add up to no less than ten thousand taels of silver. Aunt Chai reminded her, "Your Highness, those things are valuable, and it's not good to bear such a big love in vain. If it doesn't work, can we return some gifts of equal value?"

Dongyang didn't want to, "Shen Mou is serving as the chief envoy in Fujian, and there will be no shortage of imported goods in Princess Xiyang's mansion. She gave her sister a few gifts. It is a sign of our deep love as sisters, and it is not about giving or receiving bribes, so others can't control it."

The aroma of Xun causes liver pain.

Although Dongyang is a princess, she is obsessed with money. She was so considerate to Xunfeng at the beginning, but she was not willing to give her the best treasures.

It's even worse for Xunxiang. It sounds like there are a lot of things given to her, but they are all average or below average. All the things combined are not worth one or two things given by the queen's grandmother.

Therefore, it is not that those who grew up with a silver spoon in their mouths are all squanderers, nor are those without money all tight-lipped.

Xun Xiang said, "Because those things are imported, they are more likely to be used. If anything happens in the future, and Xiyang says that Shen Mou asked her to transfer it, my mother will accept large sums of bribes from the officials."

Aunt Chai was startled, "Hey, if Princess Xiyang did that, it would be really unethical."

Xun Xiang said, "The friendship between Xiyang and my mother is not that good. She must be asking for something, so she gives such generous gifts."

Aunt Chai said, "Princess Xiyang is clearly doing harm to others. How about we return the things?"

Xunxiang shook her head, "If you collect them and then return them, won't they make people think more? You put those things away and made excuses to keep my mother from moving. If you really can't stop me, come and tell me. I'll report it to the Queen's grandmother again." Get ready..."

As for what Xiyang asks Dongyang to do, it depends on whether Dongyang has the ability to do it. This time we have to treat her, otherwise there will be nothing to be afraid of.

Xunxiang was very satisfied with Aunt Chai, "Mommy did the right thing. If my mother did something wrong, she must stop it. If she can't stop it, she must tell me..."

He also rewarded her with two hundred taels of silver notes.

After sending Aunt Chai away, Xunxiang couldn't do anything else and looked at the little fairy in a daze.

The Queen's grandmother is right, the princess is a stick and the Prince Consort is a god. In this family, the only one who can be trained is the little brother...

Before dinner, Xun Consort and Xun Yibo both came to Qijin Hall.

Dongyang was in a good mood and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After the meal, Xun Consort took his daughter and son to the study room to discuss knowledge.

Xun Xiang shook his head and said, "Father and mother, let's discuss knowledge. I have something to ask my brother."

Dongyang smiled and said, "I wrote a poem today to ask for advice from the Prince Consort..."

The other three looked confused, could she still write poetry?

Dongyang was a little embarrassed, "What are you looking at? Why can't I write a poem?" He then took Prince Consort Xun to the west room, "It's about spring. The first line is 'Peach Blossoms Bloom in Spring Dawn'..."

Xun Xiang took Xun Yibo to Ziyuan and told her about her conversation with the queen's grandmother and her suspicions, as well as the generous gifts given by Princess Xiyang.

Xun Yibo's face became solemn, "I first thought that Princess Xiyang was fine, and my mother and her were on good terms, but I didn't expect the water involved to be so deep. Brother, I feel ashamed that I asked my sister to remind me of such a thing."

Xun Xiang said, "Brother is mainly focused on his studies and doesn't think much about it..."

The brother and sister talked about closing the second door, so Xun Yibo went to the outer courtyard. The next day, he came to Ziyuan again for a secret talk...

Xunxiang is very satisfied with this little brother.

The emperor was right, the best thing Xun Consort and Dongyang did was to give birth to two good children.
