The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

After a busy day, it was New Year's Eve.

Early that morning, the old lady wore court dress and went to the palace to pay her respects. Originally, the only person in the palace who was qualified to pay her respects was Duke Song Hongwen, but Song Hongwen was far away in the northwest, so he was not invited.

That day, Yang Qi got up early and hung out all the new clothes that Xu had made for her. The craftsmanship of this embroidery shop was really good, and wearing these clothes made her look much more energetic.

After Yang Qi put on the most complicated dress, she asked Mama Fan and Mama He to come in and comb her hair. Today, in addition to the people in the mansion, the masters who had been away from the mansion before would also come back with their families, so she couldn't be careless.

It would be a surprise if I was dressed too poorly for an occasion like today.

After combing her hair, Yang Qi looked at herself in the mirror. She had a fair, oval face and big, watery eyes. Hmm, not bad.

Mother He picked up the gold necklace with eight-treasure beads next to the dressing mirror and said, "Miss, you can wear this."

Yang Qi nodded to Mother He. This gold necklace with eight-treasure beads was given by Mrs. Xu. She wore it today and Mrs. Xu was happy to see it.

It is still early now, Yang Qi plans to read a book inside the house, and then go upstairs when it is almost time.

As soon as Yang Qi picked up the book, he heard a familiar voice coming from the courtyard: "Third sister, third sister."

Yang Qi's face lit up with joy. His eldest brother and fourth brother were here. He hadn't seen his fourth brother for a long time.

After opening the door, Yang Qi looked at the little boy standing next to Yang Qing in the courtyard. Although he was only four years old, he stood straight, with thick eyebrows, long and slightly curled eyelashes, and a pair of eyes as clear as morning dew. This must be his beloved fourth brother: "Big brother, fourth brother, you are finally back."

As she spoke, Yang Qi ignored the snow in the yard, rushed forward, and hugged Yang Yao: "Ayao, you are finally back, I missed you so much!" In her previous life, not to mention Xu, it took her a long time to get over the news of her fourth brother's death. During that period, it seemed that when she closed her eyes, she saw Yang Yao lying in the coffin. This time, God gave her another chance, and she will definitely protect you.

Yang Qi and Yang Yao have always had a good relationship. This time, Yang Qi suddenly hugged Yang Yao, and Yang Yao was a little surprised. When did this third sister become so enthusiastic? However, when she thought of her third sister who was almost killed by smallpox, Yang Yao also reached out and hugged Yang Qi.

Yang Qing watched his brother and sister miss each other and felt that he was a little redundant: "Okay, it's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."

Yang Qi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Brother, Ayao, let's go into the house quickly."

Sitting around the fireplace, Yang Yao excitedly talked about what he had seen and heard in the army, while Yang Qi and Yang Qing listened on the side. Looking in from the window, the situation between the three siblings was particularly warm.

In order to let the three siblings talk properly, He's mother did not enter the house, leaving them space. Listening to Yang Qi's happy laughter outside the house, He's mother couldn't help but think, if the eldest and fourth young masters were the young lady's brothers, how great it would be, the young lady wouldn't have such a hard time in this mansion, without anyone to protect her.

The time passed quickly while they were chatting and laughing. Mother Fan estimated the time and said loudly outside the house, "Master, Master Four, Miss, it's almost time for lunch. Today is New Year's Eve, and we can't miss it."

Yang Qing and the other two smiled at each other, then got up and went upstairs together.

When they arrived at the upper room, Mother Rong had almost set up the table. Yang Qing first took Yang Qi and Yang Yao to the room to pay their respects to the old lady.

Today is New Year's Eve, and the old lady is wearing a new crimson dress, which makes her look particularly festive. Yang Qi couldn't help but complain in her heart. Looking at the old lady's condition, who would believe that she has just recovered from a serious illness? Moreover, the old lady has to go to the palace early this morning. She probably didn't sleep much last night.

Seeing Yang Qing and her group enter the house, the old lady took out the red envelopes she had prepared and distributed one to each person. Yang Qi took the red envelopes and was very happy: "Thank you, grandma. I wish you good health in the new year."

Then, Yang Qi asked Mother Fan to hand over the headband she had embroidered: "Grandma, this year I learned some needlework, so I thought of embroidering a headband for you. This is my first time embroidering, so I hope you won't dislike it."

The old lady was a little surprised when she heard Yang Qi's words. Yang Qi specially embroidered the headband for the old lady, hoping to give her a surprise, so Fan's mother and Jing Shan did not report the matter, but only said that Yang Qi had been working as a maid today.

Taking the headband from Yang Qi's hand, the old lady looked at it and said with a smile, "The third girl is thoughtful."

Hearing the old lady's words, Yang Qi immediately smiled and retreated. The old lady likes it now? I have been embroidering for such a long time, I am afraid that the old lady didn't see it clearly just now. However, Yang Qi did all these things just to let the old lady see his filial piety, so that he would not be too wary of himself.

Holding the red envelope given by the old lady, Yang Qi shook it. It was very heavy. It seemed that he was going to get rich this time.

On New Year's Eve, the illegitimate sons of the old Duke who had been separated also came back. Without exception, every guest was shocked when they saw Yang Lan. With such beauty at such a young age, plus the attention paid by the Duke's Mansion, she must be destined to be rich and powerful in the future!

That night, Yang Qi received a lot of red envelopes, and every time she thanked others, she was very happy. It was not a fake smile, but Yang Qi felt happy from the bottom of her heart that she had made money. It must be said that Yang Qi is becoming more and more like a money-grubber. When she gets any object, her first thought is to weigh the price.

After returning to Linhu Courtyard, Yang Qi couldn't wait to open the red envelopes he had received today. The old lady gave the most, followed by Mrs. Xu, and the rest of the aunts gave about the same amount. Yang Qi calculated that he had received ten small gold ingots that night. Holding these gold and silver, Yang Qi couldn't help but smile.

It’s such a great deal to celebrate the Chinese New Year. You can wear new clothes and get red envelopes. It’s a pity that we can only celebrate the Spring Festival once in more than 300 days.

Suddenly, Yang Qi found a red envelope on her dressing table. Hey, who put it here?

After opening it, Yang Qi discovered that there was a solid golden pig inside! He was rich!

Under the red envelope was a letter with four simple words in it: "Happy New Year!"

Yang Qi’s head suddenly buzzed. It was a gift from the prince!

What on earth did the prince want to do? He actually came uninvited and even entered his boudoir! However, the prince's martial arts were so high that I'm afraid these servants and guards in the Duke's Mansion were not good enough in his eyes.

Holding the prince's letter, Yang Qi was both happy and worried. The happy thing was that the closer he was to the prince, the more certain he would be in overturning his grandfather's case. The worry was that he was living a new life, and if the prince saw through it, it would be troublesome. He had to be more careful in the future!
