The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

After taking a comfortable bath, Yang Qi looked at the prepared food on the table and said with a smile: "When I was eating steamed buns outside, what I missed most was the food prepared by Nanny and Mom. It was really delicious and fragrant."

Yang Qi spoke casually of his feelings, and He's mother felt very uncomfortable listening to him.

Although Mother He knew that the young lady must have had a hard time these days, she still felt distressed when she heard it. The young lady had been away for such a long time this time, but she didn't bring any maids with her. I'm afraid she had to be self-sufficient in everything.

In He Mama's mind, Yang Qi's greatest hardship was sleeping in the open air. If He Mama knew that the young lady had been abducted twice by different tribesmen, she would probably be unable to sleep day and night.

Looking at Yang Qi's extremely unruly sitting posture, Nanny Zhu frowned and said, "Miss, now that you are back, you must not neglect the proper etiquette."

During this period, Yang Qi had to sit on the floor to eat.

Although he has returned to Xiaoyu Village now, Yang Qi can't help but be influenced by some of the customs of these days.

Yang Qi straightened his back silently and picked up the chopsticks: "Mammy is right, I will listen to you."

What He's mother and Zhu's mother prepared today were all Yang Qi's favorite foods, including braised lion's head, noodles in chicken soup, boiled fish fillets, etc.

Today's meal was really too rich. If Yang Qi hadn't controlled his appetite, he would have had indigestion today.

After the meal, Yang Qi held the apricots and cut fruits washed by He Mama, sat comfortably in a chair, and listened to Nanny Zhu telling about what had happened in the capital and the Duke of Song's Mansion during this period.

"An Xiaoqiu has been engaged to the sixth young master of the Xiao family, and the wedding date is set for June next year." During this period of time, Nanny Zhu recorded all the major and minor events in the Songguo Mansion and the major events that took place in the capital in a notebook, and now she is introducing them to the young lady one by one.

Yang Qi smiled and said, "What did An Xiaoqiu do to make the people of the Xiao family agree to marry her, the daughter of a merchant." All the people of the Xiao family are not "ordinary people".

Originally, she could live on the money and land deeds left by her ancestors, but they were all squandered by Ms. Yang's ex-husband. Now, she must be just a splendid exterior with rotten inside.

Seeing that the young lady was interested, Nanny Zhu added: "An Xiaoqiu has been very active recently. She must have been forced into a corner by the An family. Didn't she fall into the water before and was rescued by Young Master Xiao Liu? I think they were in contact at that time.

This time, taking advantage of his wife's birthday, An Xiaoqiu actually had a fait accompli with Young Master Xiao Liu.

That scene was seen by all the ladies present. "

Yang Qi smiled and stuffed a melon into her mouth: "I'm afraid mother is very angry this time."

After this farce, not to mention that my mother's face was trampled underfoot, I'm afraid the old lady will not be kind to my mother.

"Madam rarely organizes a birthday banquet, and I wanted to take this opportunity to show off in front of the ladies in the capital. Now, I have indeed shown off, but it is embarrassing."

Perhaps because of Yang Qi, all the maids and servants in Linhu Courtyard had complaints about the mistress of the house, and Nanny Zhu was no exception.

"Miss, this lady is your nominal mother after all. She behaves so improperly that she has become a laughing stock in the entire circle of ladies in the capital. I'm afraid it will be an obstacle to your marriage." Whenever she heard about the embarrassing things An did, Mother He began to worry about the young lady's marriage.

It's really hateful to An. Since she married into the Duke's Mansion and became the mother of the second and third daughters, she should be honest and take care of the house affairs instead of focusing on supporting her natal family.

The second young lady is a famous talent and beauty in the capital. Everyone in the capital knows this. The second young lady was raised by Old Madam Song and the wife of Marquis Yongyi.

Although Mrs. An was embarrassed, it had little impact on the second young lady, but the misfortune fell on her own young lady.

Whenever Mother He mentioned this topic, Nanny Zhu didn't care too much.

If I am not mistaken, the young lady must have gone out this time with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, or on the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

These secret guards who appear one after another are not something that the young lady’s current power can produce. Only the old aristocratic families or the royal family can do that.

The young lady is now so close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Although Nanny Zhu cannot confirm their current relationship, it is certain that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not agree to the young lady marrying someone casually.

"Mother He, I don't have to worry about getting married. You should think more about what you can do for me in the future and stop worrying about these things." Yang Qi moved her body and said to Mother Zhu beside her, "Mother, go on."

This is just the first news, and it has been dragged so far.

"The fight between Madam and Concubine Yin in the mansion is getting more intense. Because of a series of things that happened in the An family, the Duke has a lot of complaints about Madam. These days, the Duke has been staying in Concubine Yin's courtyard most of the time.

Madam was very angry about this and secretly put a lot of obstacles in the way of Aunt Yin, but Aunt Yin reacted quickly and Madam did not gain any benefits. "

"Mrs. Yongyi has been bringing Miss Two to various banquets recently. This should be preparation for next year's palace banquet."

Putting down the fruit, Yang Qi interrupted Nanny Zhu and said, "When will the second sister's coming-of-age ceremony be arranged?" Since the old lady and the wife of Marquis Yongyi want to build momentum for the second sister, it is likely that the coming-of-age ceremony will be held with great fanfare.

After a pause, Nanny Zhu said, "The specific schedule has not yet been determined, but it will be at least two months later."

"Two months later." Yang Qi said silently.

If I'm not mistaken, my second sister will definitely beg the old lady to bring me back to the capital before her coming-of-age ceremony.

Then, Nanny Zhu reported the subsequent events in detail, including all the situations in Guangming Hall.

At last, Nanny Zhu secretly glanced at the young lady's expression from the corner of her eye, and then she said, "The emperor has personally granted the marriage. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the eldest daughter of the Bai family, Bai Yuxin, will be married before the end of the year."

Yang Qi already knew the news, and she still felt a little painful when she heard it now, but she was able to control it and not show it on her face.

Seeing that the young lady didn't react, Nanny Zhu nodded secretly in her heart, thinking that she had made some progress these days.

"Mammy, Bai Yuxin has been closer to the concubine in the past two years. Everyone is speculating that she might become the Fifth Prince's consort. But why is she suddenly marrying the Crown Prince now?" Presumably, the whole capital is discussing this issue now.

“The heart of the emperor is like a needle in the sea, hard to guess.” Nanny Zhu has been in the palace for many years. Although she is just a palace maid and has been fortunate enough to see the emperor’s true face several times, she also knows that no one in the world, even Concubine Nian, the favorite in the harem, can figure out the emperor’s true thoughts.

Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, this is true.
