The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Mo Yuchen arranged for someone to send Concubine Su back to the palace. Originally, Mo Yuxuan was planning to stay and see who his second brother brought back, but unfortunately he was ordered to return to the palace by Concubine Su.

After sending Concubine Su and Mo Xuanxuan away, Mo Xuanchen asked Yizhu to bring Xia Yanxiang to the study.

"Miss Third was not hurt in today's incident, right?" Mo Yuchen still remembered the incident with the bees in Prince Yuan's mansion today, and he didn't know whether Xia Yanxiang was stung by the bees.

Xia Yanxiang didn't expect Mo Yuchen to think of this, but Xia Yanxiang didn't care at all. Instead, she mentioned another matter: "I am fine, but the Queen was seriously injured. I wonder what she would think about what happened today?"

Speaking of the Queen, Mo Yuchen's eyes also showed a faint smile: "Even if the Queen doesn't think about it now, I'm afraid someone will mention this matter in front of the Queen!"

Isn't it very easy to ruin one's reputation?

"Tomorrow morning, the Concubine should have come to the palace to pay respects. I'm afraid that after what happened today, she won't be able to see anyone tomorrow." Xia Yanxiang didn't react, still looking indifferent, "The Queen will be unhappy if she breaks the royal rules, right? Even the Queen is too embarrassed to see anyone now."

"Royal rules are indeed restrictive." Mo Yuchen didn't know what he remembered, and suddenly said this without any reason, but he quickly changed the subject, "But no matter what, the concubine has indeed broken the royal rules this time."

Xia Yanxiang stopped thinking about Xia Pinxiang and prepared to leave: "In this case, there should be nothing else to do. I will take my leave first."

Mo Yuchen wanted to say something, but he didn't open his mouth. He sighed and said, "Okay, Xiao Wang will ask Yizhu to send the third lady back home."

Xia Yanxiang did not refuse, which was considered as agreeing.

It was almost dusk now, and the pedestrians on the road made it convenient for Xia Yanxiang to take advantage of the situation, but it was not the same with Yizhu following her. Fortunately, Yizhu was just quietly following Xia Yanxiang at a distance, and he only needed to watch Xia Yanxiang enter the mansion safely and everything would be fine.

Only after returning to Ao Yanxuan did Xia Yanxiang feel relieved.

Fortunately, there were many people here today. Even though something happened at Prince Yuan's Mansion, the wedding at the Shangshu Mansion was still going on. Xia Yanxiang came back when there were many people around, so she was not discovered.

"Miss, you are finally back! The eldest master and the sixth lady have sent people to look for you several times. Fortunately, I said you were sleeping in the afternoon." An Zhi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xia Yanxiang coming back. If the young lady didn't come back, she would not be able to hide it from the eldest master.

Xia Yanxiang, however, looked nonchalant: "Don't worry, even if my brother knew I was not at home, at most he would just ask where I was going."

Before coming back, Xia Yanxiang found a way to change into a maid's clothes, and now Tinglan helped her change into her original clothes.

After changing her clothes, Xia Yanxiang slowly packed up. Looking at the sky, she saw that most people outside had left, so she set out for Wenti Pavilion.

When we arrived at Wenti Pavilion, the noise from inside was still there. As expected, Xia Zhibai's family of three and Tu Song's family were still there.

"Madam, the third young lady is here."

Tu was a little surprised to hear the maid say this. She probably didn't expect Xia Yanxiang to come.

"Yan'er meets mother, brother and sister-in-law, uncle, aunt, and cousin." Xia Yanxiang saw everyone as soon as she entered the room and bowed to them calmly.

"Yan'er, there's no need to be so polite." Tu sat at the top seat. Although she was very tired today, she still had a smile on her face.

Today is the day when Xia Pinxiang enters Prince Yuan's Palace. Everyone was afraid that Xia Yanxiang and Tu would feel bad, so they stayed and chatted with Tu. They hadn't seen Xia Yanxiang come out, and they were worried. Now that Xia Yanxiang came out, and looked refreshed, everyone was relieved.

"I heard from the servants today that Yan'er slept in her room all afternoon. Is she tired today?" Tu Song asked seemingly jokingly, but in fact he was worried that Xia Yanxiang would feel uncomfortable.

Xia Yanxiang walked to the side and sat down, saying, "Uncle, what are you talking about? Today's wedding banquet is not Yan'er's. It's mother who is tired from all the hard work, how could Yan'er be tired?"

Xia Yanxiang's words sounded like she was acting like a spoiled child, but in fact they alleviated the worries of Tu Song and the others.

Yes! Xia Yanxiang is not going to marry Prince Yuan, so what if Xia Pinxiang marries Prince Yuan! Besides, our Yan'er is a legitimate daughter, so why should we be afraid of Xia Pinxiang, a concubine's daughter, climbing up to her?

Tu Song suddenly understood, and the smile on his face turned into reality: "I heard from your mother that you have already started to help your mother deal with the affairs of the mansion?"

"Uncle, how can Yan'er help mother with anything? It's just for fun."

Shen Shi didn't think so: "Yan'er is much more promising, much better than your cousin. She also knows how to help your mother deal with things. Your cousin is the one who is not doing his job all day long."

Tu Xiao was startled when he was suddenly called out. No, it was Sister Yanxiang who was praised for her good work. Why did she have to drag him along? "Mother, you can just praise Sister Yanxiang. Why did you have to drag me along?"

Shen glared at Tu Xiao and said unhappily, "How dare you say that? If you had found a wife for me earlier, I would have said nothing about you!"

It started again! Tu Xiao quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

Xia Zhibai loved to laugh at Tu Xiao's jokes, so he added slowly, "That's right, Tu Changyu, you're already 22 years old, and you still haven't gotten married!"

Xia Zhibai is twenty-four this year and his child is almost three years old, while Tu Xiao will be twenty-three after the New Year and has not yet married.

They were all raised by Shen. Doesn't this hurt Shen's heart?

Tu Xiao's eyes widened when he heard Xia Zhibai add fuel to the fire: "Cousin! You..."

As expected, Shen's anger returned: "Tu Changyu! You are already twenty-two!"

Tu Xiao was really afraid of his mother, so he quickly retracted his neck and looked at Xia Yanxiang for help, hoping that Xia Yanxiang could save his life.

Xia Yanxiang received Tu Xiao's call for help. Although she wanted to laugh in her heart, she still spoke to Tu Xiao's rescue: "Aunt, my cousin is just a little late. It's okay. If he doesn't want the noble lady in the capital, it won't be too late to make a decision after he leaves the capital to see the scenery outside. Besides, I still trust my cousin's vision, right?"

Shen's anger subsided after hearing what Xia Yanxiang said. Although she was still a little unhappy with Tu Xiao, she felt better for some reason when she saw Xia Yanxiang: "Just be happy! If your sister Yanxiang hadn't pleaded for you, you would have to marry me within this year."

Tu Xiao quickly gave Xia Yanxiang a grateful look. He really didn't want to get married! He wanted to be free for a few more years!
