The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

As soon as Yang Qi arrived at the Duke's Mansion, the Queen Mother's reward arrived.

The items rewarded by the palace this time were extremely rich, with a total of eight rolls of palace satin, including two rolls of bright red Xiangyun gauze. Nanny Zhu took the cloth and gestured on Yang Qi's body: "Xiangyun gauze is worthy of its name of soft gold. This color and fabric really suit the young lady."

Although Mother He's legs and feet were inconvenient, she still sat on the stool. After what happened today, the young lady finally felt proud. With the Queen and Princess Yuanyi being so respectful, who would dare to bully the young lady in the future?

Xin Che was standing by, helping Nanny Zhu sort out the rewards from the Queen Mother.

Looking at these hairpins, pearl hairpins and bracelets inlaid with gems and pearls, Xin Che was also very happy, or rather, the whole Linhu Courtyard was filled with joy.

Yang Qi looked at the happy faces of Aunt Zhu, Mother He, and everyone else, and said calmly, "Aunt Zhu, Mother He, please pick some to send to my second sister and the others."

Nanny Zhu will take care of the specific distribution and selection.

Then, Yang Qi added: "Right now, everyone in the mansion is watching our courtyard. Tell everyone in the courtyard to be more careful in the future."

Everyone in the room stopped smiling, and Nanny Zhu was the first to say, "Miss, we will pay attention." She was really careless. Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince are competing against each other, the more the Queen values ​​the young lady, the more the Fifth Prince's people will pay attention to her.

The current situation in the court is unclear, and the Duke's attitude is also unclear. I'm afraid that the Emperor cannot give a definite answer to the outcome of the battle between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince.

When An heard the amount of the reward from the Empress, the cup in her hand fell over and the tea spilled all over her clothes, but An seemed not to notice it and asked anxiously, "Wasn't it the princess who summoned me? Why was it the Empress who gave me the reward?"

Mother Jin hurried forward to wipe An's clothes and said, "Madam, there are too few of us in the capital, and it is even more difficult to get news from the palace. But Princess Yuanyi is the legitimate daughter of the Queen, so it is not surprising that the third lady met the Queen."

An said with a serious face: "I'm afraid that the Empress has taken a fancy to that blockhead Yang Qi." Ever since she returned to the capital, Yang Qi has never been kind to her and has been against her in every way. If this girl Yang Qi really gets together with the Crown Prince and the Empress, then there will be no chance for the Duke's Mansion to have a good life.

Can the Third Miss become the Crown Princess? Mother Jin thought that this was impossible: "Madam, in my opinion, the Third Miss has no chance of becoming the Crown Princess. If we really want to discuss the selection of the Crown Princess, the Second Miss has the most hope."

Without paying attention to her wet clothes, An clenched the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Yes, nobles like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Queen must be people whose interests are greater than heaven. A person like the Crown Princess must be a woman who can bring great help to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Mother Jin nodded quickly, "Yes, Madam. Not to mention the huge influence of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion behind the Second Miss, the Third Miss's grandfather was the criminal who killed the heir to the throne. The heir to the throne is also a relative of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How could the Queen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince choose the Second Miss?"

After hearing what Mother Jin said, An quickly pulled Mother Jin's hand and said, "Mother Jin, you said, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not value that piece of wood and want to marry her as his concubine, right?"

This is possible. If the prince really thinks that the third young lady is pretty and cute, he might indeed be interested in Naliangdi.

But if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really has this idea in mind, and if we really want to stop him, we are powerless.

After a heated conversation with Song Hongwen and An, the head and his wife of the An family used the shop and some silver to keep An Xiaoqiu in the Duke's Mansion.

The An family showed enough sincerity, so Song Hongwen and the An family just went with the flow and did a favor. After all, no matter what, An Xiaoqiu was just a member of the An family. If he really did something shameful in the capital, it would be the An family that would lose face in the end, and the Duke's Mansion would just be a by-product.

Even though it was embarrassing, the An family had already given the compensation they wanted. Song Hongwen didn't want to break up with the An family, so he kept An Xiaoqiu.

Since Song Hongwen had already agreed, the old lady naturally would not object.

In this way, An Xiaoqiu embarked on the second journey in the Duke's Mansion. On this journey, An Xiaoqiu walked more carefully than the first journey.

Ever since Yang Qi entered the palace today, Qi Qiao has been asking for news outside. When the Queen's reward came down, Qi Qiao hurriedly reported to An Xiaoqiu, listing all the Queen's rewards in detail.

Her Majesty the Queen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, An Xiaoqiu silently recited the names of these two people in her heart.

I don’t know if Yang Qi has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today?

When An Xiaoqiu thought of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the scene at Lingshan Temple appeared in front of his eyes.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worthy of being the crown prince. He has a strong aura. Just standing there, for a moment, everyone else is eclipsed.

Perhaps, only such a person can pull himself and his aunt out of the sea of ​​suffering and truly make a name for himself.

But how can I be worthy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is so gifted?

Seeing that the young lady was lost in thought, Qi Qiao added, "Young lady, today I ran into a palace maid who was out of the palace shopping. After asking around, I found out..."

It was difficult to get news from the palace, but An Xiaoqiu's brain was quick. The palace was using up supplies quickly, and within a few days, several palace maids would go out to buy supplies.

Taking full advantage of the An family's status as imperial merchants, An Xiaoqiu also sent people to get acquainted with the palace servants in charge of purchasing. In this way, he was able to get some news from the palace.

An Xiaoqiu looked at Qi Qiao and said, "Speak."

Qi Qiao said hesitantly, "The palace maid who was shopping said that today the Crown Prince and the Third Miss were admiring the flowers in the Imperial Garden."

"What? Just His Highness and Song Yangqi?" This sentence came like a sudden surprise, shocking An Xiaoqiu.

Qi Qiao shook her head and said, "Miss, I don't know if it was just the Crown Prince and the Third Miss. The palace maid who was shopping didn't see it with her own eyes. Besides, when the Crown Prince goes out, there must be a crowd of people surrounding him."

An Xiaoqiu leaned back in the chair, feeling that all his energy was drained away in the first instant.

How could it be Song Yangqi? How could it be Song Yangqi? Why is it Song Yangqi!

If the Crown Prince finally chose Song Yanglan, An Xiaoqiu would be more accepting than now. After all, compared with Song Yanglan, she seemed like a speck of dust on the ground, extremely small.

Bazhen looked at the young lady's expression and was very worried: "Young lady, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most outstanding son-in-law in the Tianyuan Dynasty and the dream lover of all girls." Even if it is not the Third Young Lady, it will never be her own young lady's turn!
