"hiss!"

Chu Yaoyao only felt a pain in her little hand.

[What happened to the mother-in-law? 】

Only then did the imperial concubine react and let go of her hand.

What does Yaoer just mean?
What does it mean to be a person...

"I have met the imperial concubine!"

Several people passed through the Moon Cave Gate and approached quickly.

In the middle is an old lady wearing a dark red dress embroidered with gold thread.

There are two ruby ​​hairpins on the bun with silver threads on the left and right, and gold and ruby ​​earrings on the earlobes.

With the support of You Shulan and Mrs. Yan of Yongyihou, the old lady stepped forward, bent down, and wanted to kneel down.

"Wait a minute, madam!"

The imperial concubine hurriedly stepped forward to meet her and supported her.

"You are the birthday boy today, so you don't need to be polite."

Then he said to the many female relatives, "Everyone, get up."

The old lady smiled lightly and shook her head, "The etiquette cannot be discarded."

Then she turned to look aside and smiled kindly, "Is this Princess Qiyuan?"

Suddenly being mentioned, Chu Yaoyao ran over with a grin on her face, "Hello, madam, I wish you good fortune like the East China Sea and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains!"

"Good good..."

The old lady's smile suddenly deepened, "Thank you, little princess."

"I also wish the little princess peace and success, and all her wishes come true."

After saying that, she sighed leisurely.

"Time flies so fast. I still remember that when we first met, the imperial concubine must be about this size. I don't think the children are already this big now."

"Time is really not forgiving."

As she spoke, she glanced at her little daughter beside her, and sighed again, her eyes filled with anxiety and loneliness, which was very complicated.

Meeting her mother's gaze, You Shulan lowered her head in shame.

She knew what her mother meant, but there was nothing she could do about the child.

Chu Yaoyao's understanding eyes flickered between the two of them.

[The old lady is smart, decisive, and a very good person, but her eyesight is not very good. 】

[Look, what kind of person did you choose to be your son-in-law? 】

[It’s like pushing my daughter into a pit of fire! 】

Listening to these words, the imperial concubine subconsciously thought of the scene she had just seen in the corridor.

"Mother, please invite Sister Li...the imperial concubine and the princess to go in and reminisce about old times." You Shulan said softly.

"Look at me, I'm really old and confused."

The old lady patted her forehead in annoyance, and then made a gesture of invitation.

"Please also ask the imperial concubine and princess to move to the main hall."

The group of people walked into the main hall.

After sitting for a while, the old lady held her forehead and said apologetically, "I'm really old. I've only been sitting for such a while and I'm tired."

The imperial concubine nodded with understanding.

The old lady turned to look at the two people beside her.

"Lan'er, Aqing, you must entertain the imperial concubine and the princess well."

The aunt and sister-in-law were slightly blessed, "Yes."

When the old lady left, it seemed that her sister-in-law had something to say, so Yan made an excuse.

"I'll go and ask the chef to bring some snacks in."

Then he left with the maid.

When there were only three of them left in the room, You Shulan excitedly held the imperial concubine's hand, her eyes slightly red and moist.

"Sister Li!"

The imperial concubine also blinked her red eyes, smiled and patted her hand, "How have you been in the past few years?"

Hearing this, You Shulan withdrew her hand and lowered her head slightly, her face a little unnatural and her words flickering.

"What's so good? Don't all married women live the same life?"

Seeing this, the imperial concubine became more determined in her suspicions.

Suddenly she had an idea and said casually, "Huh? Which store did you buy this bracelet from? It's so beautiful."

As she spoke, she grabbed You Shulan's right hand and seemed to look at the bracelet carefully.

In fact, intentionally or unintentionally, she pulled her sleeve down and touched the red spot on the inside of her arm. The imperial concubine's heart skipped a beat, and then she looked away with a normal expression.

"This is..." You Shulan withdrew her arm forcefully, then arranged her sleeves in a panic, took off the bracelet, and handed it to her.

"I don't know which shop it is from. Sister Xin gave it to me."

The imperial concubine looked puzzled, "Sister Xin?"

You Shulan explained: "She is the wife of Editor Wei of the Hanlin Academy, Shi Xin."

"Editor Wei?"

The imperial concubine suddenly thought of the two people on the corridor again.

"I just saw Pei Daizhao and Editor Wei enjoying tea together. From what you said, do you two have a good relationship?"

You Shulan nodded slightly, "I met Sister Xin before we got married, and we have been hanging out over the years."

[Walking around? It must be that the threshold of the steps has been broken, right? 】

Without the special seat, Chu Yaoyao, who was half shorter, could only rest her elbows on her thighs and drag her chin with her hands.

She curled her lips.

[Otherwise, the ancients were really good at playing. 】

What does this mean?

The imperial concubine had no time to think about it, and the door was opened.

"Shu Lan, I saw that the kitchen has some date paste cakes and chestnut cakes that you like, so I brought some back."

As the door opened, a sound as clear as a silver bell reached the ears of the three of them.

"Sister Xin, where did you go just now?"

There was a hint of complaint in You Shulan's tone, then she stood up and walked over, as if she wanted to help get the tray.

Shi Xin hid and didn't let her take over.

"Didn't you say you were hungry just now? I went to the kitchen."

The imperial concubine looked at the visitor.

After putting the tray down, Shi Xin knelt on the ground and saluted, "I have met the Imperial Concubine and Her Highness the Princess."

"Get up."

"Thank you, empress."

After getting up, Shi Xin saw the bracelet on the table.

She picked it up and turned to look at You Shulan, her tone a little serious, with a hint of questioning.

"Shu Lan, why did you take off the bracelet but you don't like it anymore?"

"no no."

You Shulan quickly waved her hands and shook her head, explaining: "The imperial concubine was curious just now, so I took it off and let her have a good look."

[Hey, weren’t you called Sister Li just now? 】

Chu Yaoyao felt strangely angry in her heart.

After hearing her explanation, Mrs. Wei nodded, then took her hand and helped her put it on again, her tone softened a lot this time.

"If you don't like it anymore, be sure to tell me and I'll buy a new one."

You Shulan smiled and nodded in response.

Seeing this scene, the imperial concubine's eyes flashed with confusion.

Why does it feel a little strange?
You Shulan picked up the plate of jujube cakes and said, "Sister Li..."

She subconsciously looked at Mrs. Wei, and then changed her words.

"I remember that the imperial concubine also liked this snack. Please try it."

"Thank you." The imperial concubine picked up a piece.

"Try this chestnut cake." As she said this, Mrs. Wei picked up a piece and handed it to You Shulan.

Even stranger.

The imperial concubine absentmindedly took a bite of the jujube paste cake in her hand, feeling even more confused.

[Goose goose, this melon is so delicious! 】

Hearing the sound, she turned around and saw a little guy whose eyebrows were level with the edge of the table, grinning and craning his neck to look across.

Seemingly noticing her anxious look, You Shulan picked up the plate of chestnut cake and walked to her side.

"Little princess, would you like to try this chestnut cake?"

Chu Yaoyao first glanced at the person opposite, then shook her head, stood up from the chair, reached for the fruit plate, and picked up a tooth of honeydew melon.

"I don't eat that."

"I eat melon!"

Then he got another tooth for her mother-in-law.

"Mother and concubine will eat it too!"
