After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Jiang Ruoli took out the silver that the emperor had awarded her and went to the street with the blessed fruit.

My mother loved making incense, so I bought her a box of spices.

Daddy has a bad leg, so buy him a pair of rabbit fur knee pads.

My eldest brother loves reading, so give him a set of four treasures of the study.

This dagger is really exquisite, I can give it to my second brother.

Third brother, he lacks nothing...

And Princess Yuyao...Fuguo...

Jiang Ruoli was out shopping the whole day and returned home near evening.

She was so tired that she didn't even have dinner and fell asleep.

Soon, it was New Year's Eve.

Early in the morning, Jiang Ruoli was called up by Fuguo.

Fuguo combed her hair while Yuanxin stood aside waiting for instructions.

Yuan Guang's injuries had almost healed. Jiang Ci'an planned to take him to the military camp after the New Year, so he arranged for him to go to his own yard first.

Yuan Xin no longer had to guard Yuan Guang, and came to Jiang Ruoli's yard to serve her.

Because it is a formal palace banquet, Jiang Ruoli needs to wear court dress today.

The county princess's court dress was complicated to wear, and Fuguo was a little discouraged after trying for a long time to get it right.

"Why not ask Madam Xu to come over?" Jiang Ruoli advised.

"Miss, let me be your servant." Yuan Xin stepped forward and said.

Jiang Ruoli nodded, and Fuguo lowered his head dejectedly and stepped aside.

Although it was Yuan Xin's first time to wear court dress, she was thoughtful and calm. She looked at the style of the dress carefully and helped Jiang Ruoli put it on in no time.

"Sister Yuanxin, you are so awesome!" Fuguo said admiringly.

Jiang Ruoli turned around and looked at herself in the mirror, praising her: "It's really good."

Yuan Xin smiled. This was the first time she heard someone praise her.

Everything was ready. Jiang Ruoli took the gifts prepared for Princess Yuyao and followed Madam Jiang into the carriage.

The gift given to Princess Yuyao was a bamboo rabbit.

That day, Jiang Ruoli was shopping and saw it and thought it was cute, so she followed the stall owner and learned for a long time and made two palm-sized rabbits.

The first one was used for practice and was a bit rough; the second one was obviously much more refined. Jiang Ruoli also decorated it with some colorful beads, making it look more gorgeous.

Fuguo thought that the two rabbits were to be given to Princess Yuyao, so he gave them both to Jiang Ruoli when he went out.

Now that all the things had been taken out, it was difficult to put them back, so Jiang Ruoli put both rabbits in her sleeves.

After entering the palace, Madam Jiang and Jiang Ruoli went to pay their respects to the Queen Mother first.

Some court ladies were already sitting in the queen's palace.

The palace banquet was approaching noon, and it was still a little early, so the women sat together and talked to each other.

Jiang Ruoli got up too early and felt a little sleepy. She yawned slightly while sitting in her seat.

When Xiao Yujing came in, he saw Jiang Ruoli covering her mouth and yawning quietly.

Tears welled up in his eyes and he felt dazed.

I found it funny.

This little chatterbox is so brave that he even dares to yawn in such an occasion.

"Your son pays his respects to your mother." Xiao Yujing stepped forward and saluted.

Seeing the prince arriving, everyone stood up and knelt.

"See His Highness the Crown Prince."

Jiang Ruoli also stood up, unable to help wailing in her heart.

[Kneeling here and there, when will I be able to stop suffering from this? ]

Xiao Yuheng's eyes flickered slightly.

If you want to avoid kneeling down to him, there is only one way...

The queen looked at her son in front of her and felt very happy.

"Get up quickly," the queen said lovingly, "How are the preparations for the palace banquet going?"

"Thank you, mother, for your concern. Everything is being prepared." Xiao Yujing said.

After sitting for a while, Xiao Yujing got up and left.

There are still many things he needs to deal with ahead.

Before leaving, Xiao Yujing glanced at the sleepy Jiang Ruoli and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Ruoli was in a daze and did not notice Xiao Yujing's gaze.

After a while, Princess Yuyao arrived.

After paying respects to the queen, Xiao Yuyao quietly took Jiang Ruoli to the bedroom.

There were many people in the hall today, and the two of them left without being noticed by many people.

"Look, what have I prepared for you?"

Xiao Yuyao took a small box from the maid and handed it to Jiang Ruoli.

Jiang Ruoli opened it and saw a jade-carved pony inside.

The whole body is white and has a mellow texture. It is obviously a top-grade jade at first glance.

"The few times I saw you, you were dressed very simply. I guess you don't like wearing jewelry." Xiao Yuyao said.

"So I asked a craftsman to carve this pony, because the first time I met you was at the horse farm. You can play with it on weekdays."

She raised her hand and touched the jade pony. The warm touch of the jade came from her fingertips, and Jiang Ruoli felt indescribably moved.

Princess Yuyao really treated her as a friend.

Thinking of the gift she had prepared, Jiang Ruoli suddenly felt a little embarrassed to present it.

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Ruoli took out the exquisite bamboo rabbit from her sleeve and placed it in front of Xiao Yuyao.

"What is this?" Xiao Yuyao asked puzzledly, looking at the bamboo rabbit in front of her.

"This is the New Year's gift that I prepared for Your Highness." Jiang Ruoli smiled awkwardly, "But compared to Your Highness, it's a bit shabby."

When Xiao Yuyao heard that it was given to her, she quickly took it.

"Did you weave this yourself?" Xiao Yuyao looked at the rabbit in her hand. It wasn't very delicate, and some of the bamboo threads at the edges and corners were not cleaned up.

But this little rabbit is decorated with a lot of beads, and you can feel the maker's care at a glance.

Jiang Ruoli pursed her lips and nodded.

"I like it very much!" Xiao Yuyao played with the rabbit and looked at it.

Seeing Xiao Yuyao's happy expression, Jiang Ruoli felt that she still had some talent in giving gifts.

As the palace banquet approached, Jiang Ruoli returned to Madam Jiang.

Everyone followed the Queen to the Yutang Palace to attend the palace banquet.

Similar to previous years, His Majesty first summarized this year's political achievements, and then commended the ministers who performed outstandingly this year and gave them rewards where they were due.

This was followed by performances by court musicians and dancers.

The food at the banquet was also ordinary. Because they were afraid that the officials would lose their manners in front of the palace after eating too much, the amount of food on each table was very small.

At the beginning, Jiang Ruoli was very interested in appreciating the dancer's dancing and eating snacks while watching.

After watching for a while, she felt a little bored. The food did not arouse her interest, and she felt a little sleepy listening to the soft music.

"Mom, I want to go out for a while." Jiang Ruoli whispered to Mrs. Jiang.

Maybe I drank too much water just now, so I took this opportunity to go out for a walk and sober up.

"Don't go too far, come back as soon as possible." Mrs. Jiang reminded.

Jiang Ruoli nodded and quietly left the hall.

Xiao Yujing has been observing Jiang Ruoli.

She didn't eat much and looked drowsy.

Noticing that she had left the hall, Xiao Yujing gestured to Eunuch Wu, who bowed and left the hall.

Jiang Ruoli walked out of the palace gate and came to the bathroom under the guidance of a palace maid.

When Jiang Ruoli came out, she saw that the palace maid in front of her had been replaced by another person.

"Princess Leping, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you."
