Chapter 352 New Year's Eve ([-])

Mrs. Lv Er also smiled and nodded and said yes, then smiled at Yao Cunhui and said: "So, princess, don't be too polite, come and sit with us when you have free time later!"

Yao Cunhui just smiled shyly with downcast eyes, and was thinking about how to answer, when he suddenly heard a surprised and delighted female voice from behind, "Hui'er? Is that you, Hui'er!"

Yao Cunhui was overjoyed, turned around and said with a smile, "Cousin!"

The person who came was wearing an orange-red gold thread outlining the hibiscus pattern, a bell cloak, and a warm hat. His skin was fair, his facial features were exquisite, his eyes were gentle and serene, and he had a slight smile on his face. Who else could it be if it wasn't Yun Zhi, the side concubine of the Eastern Palace Crown Prince? ?

I saw her holding the arm of a little maid in a dark red embroidered palace dress, holding a heater and coming slowly, followed by two little maids.

Mrs. Lu's sister-in-law had no choice but to let Yao Cunhui go, and hurriedly saluted to see the crown prince's side concubine.Yao Cunhui, Li's mother, and the little eunuch leading the way also bowed down.

"Quickly flatten your back, get up!" Yun Zhi slightly turned her body to avoid Mrs. Lu's gift, raised her hand with a smile, asked Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu how they were, and smiled softly at Mrs. Lu: " The eldest sister of the crown princess was just mentioning the eldest lady, but she did not expect the eldest lady to come!"

"Hehe! The minister's wife will not bother the side concubine, the minister's wife will go first!" Mrs. Lu couldn't say anything more, so she left with a smile.

"Go madam!" Yun Zhi smiled softly and nodded.

Yao Cunhui looked at Yun Zhi's skillful handling of the people of the Lu family, and the gentle smile on her face never stopped, she was both happy and sad at the same time.

In the past, Yunzhi only wanted to stay away from right and wrong and live alone behind closed doors. She didn't care about anything, didn't care about anything, dealt with human relationships, dealt with such things, how far she was hiding, and hearing people say a word would give her a headache. .

Today, her smile is still gentle, her temperament is still calm, her eyes are still as soft as water, but her inner temperament is no longer the same as before!

After watching the two wives of the Lu family leave, Yun Zhi smiled and said softly to the little eunuch who was leading the way for Yao Cunhui: "Eunuch, please go back, it happens that I am going out of the palace too, and go on the same road with Princess Zhenxi! It's so cold Oh my god, father-in-law went back earlier to take care of his errands and get warmer!" After saying that, she winked, and the little palace lady stepped forward to reward the little eunuch with a delicate purse.

The little eunuch took it with both hands, thanked him with a smile, and turned back as expected.

"Hui'er, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Yun Zhi looked at Yao Cunhui's clothes with a smile all over her face, and there was a lot of warmth and joy in her eyes, but she didn't come forward to hug Yao Cunhui's arm like before, joking happily She couldn't help but turned her eyes lightly, glanced at Li's mother lightly, and met Yao Cunhui's gaze.

Yao Cunhui understood, smiled and nodded at her vaguely and blinked for a while, expressing that Li's mother was her own, Yun Zhi felt relieved secretly, and her tone became more relaxed.

"Is everything okay, cousin! I've always been thinking about you!" Yao Cunhui said with a smile.

"I'm fine. I didn't expect such a coincidence today, I'm so happy to meet you here!" Yun Zhi laughed as she spoke, her pretty face was radiant, as if covered with a bright radiance.

Yao Cunhui also laughed, and the two cousins ​​walked towards the palace gate while chatting and laughing.There are a lot of taboos in the palace, and the two of them consciously didn't say anything private, just ordinary things.But even so, the two of them felt very happy when they met unexpectedly.

Out of the Longzong Gate, Yao Cunhui's carriage was already waiting there, Hong Liao came forward to meet her, she was surprised and happy when she saw Yun Zhi, she called out "Side Concubine Empress" and knelt down to salute, Yun Zhi raised her hand and ordered someone to help her He stopped her, gave her a gift to meet Li's mother with a smile, and said goodbye to Yao Cunhui.

Now that Yao Cunhui is the princess of Zhenxi, her status is sensitive, so it's not as convenient as before.Yun Zhi was reluctant to let go, Fang whispered for a while, "Mother and sister-in-law will come to see me in the palace in a few days, if Huier is convenient for you, come with them..."

Yao Cunhui nodded in agreement, fearing that people would gossip, instead she urged Yun Zhi to go back quickly.Yun Zhi bit her lip and took a deep look at her, nodded her head heavily, then turned around and left.

Seeing her back turned around the corner and disappeared, Yao Cunhui got into the carriage and left the palace.

Looking at Yun Zhi's situation, it seems that the situation is better than before, but, I'm afraid it has been exhausted, right?But the palace is like this. Since she is in it, she has to face it. It is a good thing for her to have more thoughts.At least, he won't be framed easily!

Thinking of this, Yao Cunhui felt a little heavy and relaxed again.

Back to the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion, I saw Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Xiao, and Yao Cunhui went back to Xihe Hall.

Unexpectedly, Shen Quan was at home. When she saw her coming back, she came up with a smile, held her hand and said with a smile, "I reckon you should come back too! Is it cold? Are you going well? Has anyone bullied you?"

Yao Cunhui annoyed him and said: "It's not that I entered the dragon's pond and tiger's lair, where would someone bully me? My husband is the living king of Hades, who would dare to come up to me without retreating?"

After hearing this, Shen Quan laughed, looked at her carefully, raised his hand and brushed the flickering pearls on her forehead, and said with a low smile, "Hui'er is so beautiful, even more beautiful than the day we got married!"

Yao Cunhui's face turned red all of a sudden, she bit her lips and chuckled, then turned around and went into the room to change clothes and dismantle the headgear.

Shen Quan had nothing to do, so he followed in, sat on the couch not far away and looked at her with a smile.The maids such as Hongzao and Hongling held back their smiles, pretending to be careless and serving the princess as if nothing had happened.

Yao Cunhui couldn't stand it anymore, turned her head and smiled at Shen Quan: "Why are you so free today? Don't you need to go to New Year's greetings?"

"No," Shen Quan said with a smile: "The old lady who should go around in the house will arrange it. I personally don't have anyone to go around. I don't bother to see others when they come. Just let the housekeeper entertain them!"

"Then," Yao Cunhui said with a smile, "Go and help me see if the presents are packed? Tomorrow, I will accompany me back to my mother's house!"

Shen Quan refused, only saying that he didn't understand, didn't know how, and that Rong's mother had put away everything. Seeing that Yao Cunhui was wearing a pink and bright satin jacket, and a money and silver blue robe, her long hair looked like water. After the shoulders were draped, the black oil was bright and full of a sense of fall. He couldn't help itching, stepped forward and took the mahogany comb from Hong Zao, waved to them and said, "I'll comb the princess's hair, you all go down!"

Hongzao waited for busy greetings, and retreated completely in an instant.

"You—" Yao Cunhui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she gave him a look with a smile, and reached out to snatch the comb from his hand.Where can his hands do this?He might as well come by himself!

Shen Quan dodged lightly, hugged her with a smile, Yao Cunhui let out a low voice, and couldn't help wrapping his hands around his neck.Shen Quan laughed softly, kissed her lightly on the cheek, hugged her and sat in front of the dressing table, rubbed her cheek against her face, and said with a light smile: "Good Huier, good wife, let me serve you Wouldn't it be nice to comb back!"

Yao Cunhui giggled and had to let him go.

The two quarreled in the room for a long time, and then went out at lunch time, Shen Quan didn't know what to do, combed for a long time but didn't get anything done, and finally called the red dates to come in, and ordered him to use a gold hairpin to pull it casually , put on their outer robes, and went out to eat together.

After lunch, the two returned to the Nuan Pavilion, Yao Cunhui took a short rest, and then together with Rong Ma, Hong Liao and others, checked the things to be brought tomorrow, packed them and piled them on the kang outside.

Not long after, Shen Jialin smiled and came over to play with the third sister-in-law. Shen Quan sat with them for a while and then went to the study, leaving her aunt and sister-in-law to call the girls to play Shuanglu together.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, the couple talked to Mrs. Xiao and went to Yao Mansion together.

Master Yao knew they were coming back today, so he didn't go out, so he waited in the mansion.Hearing that the carriage was coming, he and Yao Shizan came out to meet him.

After entering the mansion and sitting down, Yao Cunhui ordered Rong Ma to bring the gift, and the two of them wished Master Yao a new year, and Master Yao smiled sideways and accepted half the gift.Suddenly Yao Shizan came up to see the second sister and second brother-in-law's New Year greetings. Yao Cunhui took his hand and asked some questions with a smile. Sit down first.

For a while, the housekeeper and the family's respectable housekeepers paid New Year's greetings to the second lady and uncle again in the corridor, and Yao Cunhui hurriedly smiled and ordered to reward them.

"Why don't you see Second Uncle?" Yao Cunhui asked with a surprised smile.

Master Yao laughed and said, "This year he went back to his ancestral home for the Chinese New Year, and he won't be back until after the Spring Festival!"

Yao Cunhui nodded "Oh".

After sitting for a while, it was still early for dinner, Master Yao asked Shen Quan to talk in his study, Yao Cunhui smiled and said to Shen Quan: "You go with my father, I will go to see my mother!"

Shen Quan nodded with a smile and said "Okay!" Then he chatted and laughed with Master Yao.

Master Yao is a sociable person, seeing that Shen Quan has no pretensions of a prince, and is his son-in-law, he talks with ease; Shen Quan is informal, seeing that his father-in-law speaks well, he is also willing to talk to him , The two actually talked happily.Only Yao Shizan was forcibly taken along by his father, feeling deep resentment in his heart.

Yao Cunhui went to see Mrs. Ma according to the rules, but Mrs. Ma turned her head to the side with a cold face and ignored her.Yao Cunhui laughed it off, she didn't care about her taking care of her at first, if she insisted on taking care of her and dragging her to talk for a long time, she would be bored!

Yao Cunhui was relieved to see that although Ma Shi was not in good health, a little out of breath, and thin, but in good spirits, at least he had several years to live.

Mrs. Ma dared not to betray Yao Cunhui's face, but the servants Mrs. Yu, Ah Qing and others were not so courageous, and their faces turned yellow with trepidation.Yao Cunhui smiled and said lightly: "Take good care of Madam, if Madam's health is not in the slightest, take care of your lives, do you hear me?"

"Yes, yes, Princess!" If it wasn't for Yao Cunhui's furious reaction to Mrs. Ma's serious illness, Mrs. Yu and the others would have thought that what Yao Cunhui said was ironic!Naturally, now they knew that this was definitely not irony, and they all agreed carefully, sighing inwardly for the kindness of the second young lady!

Only then did Yao Cunhui nod his head in satisfaction, and ordered Hong Liao to reward him with a purse.Mrs. Yu thanked her for her joy.
