The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Now that winter has arrived, the weather is not as cool as in autumn, but it is not freezing cold either.

It's strange to say, but just one night passed, and Yang Qi looked at the medicinal herbs by the Back Lake that were suddenly covered with white frost. For some reason, his mind drifted to the distant Xihu.

I don’t know if my godmother still reads by the window every day?

I guess my godfather must be very busy these days.

As the commander of an army of hundreds of thousands, the cornerstone of the Tianyuan Dynasty, and a thorn in the eyes of the Western Barbarians, the Duke of Yingzhou, in addition to his daily affairs, now has to think about how to settle the private soldiers of the Fifth Prince and how to deal with those bandits.

Nothing here is easy to deal with.

Fortunately, things in Jiangnan have begun to show results. With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, godfather doesn't have to worry about rice, flour, grain and oil this winter.

With a stable rear area, we will not be timid when doing things.

These days, the Fifth Prince suffered a series of defeats. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, with the power of thunder, purged the Fifth Prince's followers and captured the Fifth Prince's private soldiers. In a short period of time, he destroyed the influence of the Bai family in Jiangnan for many years in one fell swoop, and he really took the limelight.

Yang Qi herself did not realize that her heartbeat began to speed up much faster than usual when she thought of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and her face turned red with embarrassment.

The words from the day before were still ringing in his ears, and Yang Qi was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep for two days.

Mama He and Mama Zhu led Xin Che and several maids into the house, but found that there was no one in the house. Instead, there was a faint flickering candlelight in the back lake, bringing some light into the house.

Putting down the hot water and dress in their hands, Mother He and Nanny Zhu looked at each other helplessly, opened the small door, and saw Yang Qi standing by the back lake with her silky black hair and wearing a cloak.

Mother He was impatient and said, "Miss, it's getting cold today, you should wear more clothes.

If you catch a cold and lose your manners in front of the palace, I'm afraid you will be displeased."

The familiar voice brought Yang Qi's thoughts back to reality. After a moment's rest, Yang Qi looked back at the still dark night in the distance with some helplessness, looking at the neatly dressed maids and servants: "Even if you are going to the palace today, you don't have to start dressing up so early, right?"

Xin Che smiled and said, "It's not too early. Nanny Zhu has already instructed that the young lady should be prepared early for entering the palace today."

After saying this, Xin Che hurriedly helped Yang Qi into the house with He's mother and sat him in front of the bronze mirror.

Yang Qi naturally knew what Nanny Zhu meant.

By now, Nanny Zhu and Mama He already knew everything about the Crown Prince and themselves.

This time, entering the palace was not a simple audience for a minister, but rather a bit like "an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her mother-in-law".

In this situation, Madam Zhu and Mama He must be extremely careful in dealing with this matter and cannot afford to make any mistakes.

In addition, the old lady and the Duke also attached great importance to the third young lady's visit to the palace this time, and they repeatedly reminded her, both explicitly and implicitly, to pay attention to this matter.

With the order from the head of the household, Nanny Zhu and Mother He could throw aside those dogmas and rules and start working boldly.

For a while, everyone was busy with some doing their makeup and some doing their hair. Yang Qi could only sit in front of the bronze mirror, letting everyone fiddle with her face and head. She herself felt a little bored.

Noticing that the young lady had been staring at the mirror, Nanny Zhu took a quick look and then said with a smile, "The feng shui of Xiaoyu Manor is really good for health."

After going out, the young lady became thinner and her waist belt was shortened by a few fingers, but she had grown a lot. She originally looked like a bud about to bloom, but now she was slowly blossoming.

Looking at herself in the mirror, with a complexion as bright as a spring peach, Yang Qi knew that what Nanny Zhu said was true and she was not just trying to please herself.

"Thanks to Madam for all your hard work over the years."

Yang Qi said this sincerely. Compared with her previous life, her skin was much better now. This was all thanks to Nanny Zhu's hard work.

Picking up the clothes from the lacquer tray, Nanny Zhu smiled and said, "This is what an old servant should do. Miss, do you think you can wear this today?"

Yang Qi raised her eyes, turned around, and looked at the clothes in Nanny Zhu's hand. She immediately recognized that this was a pink pleated dress that her godmother had prepared for her earlier, and it was embroidered with the finest gold.

It would be fine if it was just Madam He, but Madam Zhu, who had spent most of her life in the palace, could recognize the excellence of this thing at a glance.

Xihu's trip is a top secret matter.

Seeing the joy on Nanny Zhu's face, Yang Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking that Nanny must have mistakenly thought that the dress was a gift from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Although she entered the palace today under the name of Princess Yuanyi, Yang Qi knew everything in her heart.

It has been several months since I returned from Xiaoyu Manor. If Princess Yuanyi wants to see me, she will not delay for too long.

Presumably, the person who really wanted to see him was not Princess Yuanyi, but the Queen Mother.

Well, this dress was originally a gift from my godmother. I have heard that my godmother has a close relationship with the Empress Dowager. Wearing my godmother's dress into the palace will not let this friendship down.

Yang Qi did not stay in the Duke of England's mansion for long, so the Duke of England's wife naturally had not had time to modify her dress according to Yang Qi's body shape. However, Nanny Zhu was very careful and had made arrangements when she was packing the young lady's luggage.

The age of coming of age is the prime of a girl's life. Against the backdrop of the dress, Yang Qi looks exceptionally beautiful, not to mention the light of expectation in her eyes.

Nanny Zhu and Mother He managed their time very well. After Yang Qi had finished dressing up and everyone nodded in satisfaction, a few rays of light appeared in the sky not far away, passed through the half-open window, and quietly slipped into the house.
