Xin Nian smiled, with both pride and bitterness in his smile. He was proud that Liu Zai and Yaya were good enough to win Gu Changting's favor when they first met; bitterly because he had never been responsible for teaching, but he told them when he was in a good mood.

A few words, I really feel ashamed.

Back in the house, Xin Nian noticed that everyone's attitude towards her had changed. They were either envious, jealous or angry. Of course, there were also those who hid their knives with smiles.

But she didn't care about any of this. Since she decided to fight for a future, all kinds of peace and drizzle would naturally follow, and she would continue.

"My sister came here today, and she really responded to those words. Even if she didn't sing, she was already a blockbuster. I saw the prince's eyes almost glued to my sister."

Aunt Feng came to Xin Nian and smiled warmly: "Congratulations to my sister."

Xin Nian smiled slightly: "Sister, be careful, even if you are not afraid of my reputation as a fox, you should still consider the image of the prince. Is he such a person who is motivated by sex?"

Aunt Feng's smile froze on her face. Another Aunt Gu hurriedly "smoothed things over" and said: "Sister, you look really good in your dress today, but I think the hairpins on your bun are a bit outdated. They haven't changed in the past two years."

This style is popular, why don’t you wear something fashionable?”

Xin Nian looked at the pile of gauze flowers on her bun, which looked a bit unique, and asked with a smile: "Sister, where did this come from? Tell me, and I'll buy a few too."

A look of pride appeared on Aunt Gu's face, and she quickly said: "It's Fenghuang Pavilion, a century-old shop in the capital. Their jewelry is the most beautiful. They also hired a master from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so they are always in fashion in the palace.

Fresh jewelry.”

Xin Nian was about to retaliate, but seeing the other aunts smiling and saying nothing, she felt relieved. She nodded and smiled and said, "Thank you, sister. I will go over and have a look when I have time."

Aunt Gu was even more proud. She touched the gauze flowers in her hair and said leisurely: "His jewelry is good, but it's not cheap. I don't have a hundred and eighty taels of silver on me, so I'd better not go there."

"That's enough."

Mrs. Liao glanced at Aunt Gu and said calmly: "You only saw the outdated jewelry on Aunt Xin's head. Didn't you see what they were? Not to mention anything else, just the Hepu beads on this hairpin, hundreds of

Eighty taels of silver may not be able to buy one. If I remember correctly, this should be the contents of the box of jewelry sent by my master back then, right?"

"Yes. Grandma has good eyesight."

Xin Nian nodded. Aunt Gu's expression changed: She bought her jewelry herself, but the other party was a precious jewelry gift from the Crown Prince himself. So what if the pattern is fashionable or not? The phoenix crown worn by the Empress during her wedding has been passed down for more than a hundred years.

, but all the jewelry in the country combined is not as good as a bead on the phoenix crown. She wants to use this to step on Xin Nian, which is really humiliating herself.

At this time, the princess also came, and everyone hurriedly came forward to pay their respects. The princess did not notice Xin Nian in the crowd. She heard someone coming to report that all the ladies from all the noble families had arrived, so she sent her daughters-in-law out.

meet.

Next, the Dowager Empress picked out a few birthday gifts that she was interested in and looked at them. A line of grandchildren came over to kowtow to celebrate her birthday. She chatted with the princesses for a while, and it was noon.

In no time, the banquet was ready. Xin Nian saw the brother and sister sitting together with other children, but she had to entertain the guests and could not sit down.

As the concubine was laying dishes on the table, she suddenly heard someone say in surprise: "You...are you Niannian? General Xin's house...it turns out you are still here. This is really...I haven't seen you for several years."

The concubine and the princess glanced at Xin Nian, and saw that she was slightly blessed, and said with a calm smile: "Yes. I was not well in health in the past few years, and I have been recuperating in the palace."

Princess An smiled and said: "You used to be taught by your father himself. You are good at boxing and kicking, but your body is so weak?"

These words are suspected of ruining the scene. The faces of the concubine and the princess are not very good at the moment, but Xin Nian's expression remains unchanged and he smiles: "If you learn some boxing and kicking skills, you won't get sick and weak, wouldn't the world be human?"

Is everyone going to learn martial arts?"

Everyone laughed, Princess An raised her brows slightly, and said to herself: Prince Duan's Mansion is quite capable, even taming such a rebellious and aloof girl.

Seeing that it did not arouse Xin Nian's anger, Princess An also put it down as soon as she could. Mrs. Liao said a few witty words on the side, and soon the peaceful and joyful atmosphere was restored at the table.

Xin Nianji was worried about her two children, and looked over from time to time, and saw that the little ones at the table were all peaceful. She thought that on days like today, no matter how arrogant and willful these children were, they had to restrain themselves, and Liu Zai and Yaya were both

Be sensible, at least eat less, and you should be able to get through it safely.

After the birthday banquet was over and the guests dispersed together, it was already late and Xin Nian and his aunts could go to the side hall to dine.

When I was about to go out, I heard the voice of the concubine behind me laughing: "Six boys, Yaya, you two come and sit here with my great-grandmother. Look at these two children. They are just like rice dumplings, and they are as fresh as water."

"

Xin Nian looked back and saw Liu Zai and Yaya sitting next to the concubine. The concubine reached out and caressed their heads and faces with great affection. She was a little nervous, but thinking about Gu Changting's temperament, she felt relieved.

Come.

Aunt Feng's eyes almost burst into flames. She deliberately recited a few words to Xin, and then thought of her previous words and attitude. Although this person had been neglected for many years, she was obviously not a soft persimmon. She might just follow in the footsteps of the ancient aunt.

There was a sumptuous meal on the table in the side hall. The palace was not short of such wealth, not to mention that among the four aunts, Aunt Qiu was very favored.

This was the first meal that Xin Nian had after being reborn. After getting up in the morning, a series of things happened. Xinghua and Chunyu also forgot to go to the kitchen to get food. Naturally, due to the status of Qingliang Pavilion, no one from the kitchen came to deliver food.

There are more than a dozen kinds of staple food on such a large table, including white rice, eight-treasure rice, rice balls, stem rice porridge, various kinds of golden rice cakes, steamed buns and rolls, etc. Needless to say, the dishes are also carefully cooked.

There are hot dishes of cold vegetables, chicken, duck and fish, and a large plate of shrimps which are rarely seen in Beijing.

In the past, my heart felt like stagnant water, and delicacies and seafood were tasteless. Now my heart has come to life, and everything I look at is delicious, and almost a dozen gluttons are drawn out of my stomach.

Xin Nian himself found it funny, and suddenly heard Aunt Qiu say to her girl: "You guys should go and eat too. We can eat here by ourselves. It's more interesting. We don't have to wait."

"yes."

Several girls agreed in unison. Du Xinghua remained motionless. Xin Nian smiled and said, "You can go with everyone."

Only then did Xinghua agree to go. Xin Nian, regardless of the different expressions of the other three aunts, served herself a bowl of green bean stem rice porridge.

Because Aunt Qiu was favored and relied on the Liao family, she was also the number one person in the house, far beyond the comparison of the two aunts Fenggu. At this time, the two girls listened to her instructions, but Xinghua refused to listen.

, which not only ruined Aunt Qiu's face, but also showed the humbleness of Feng Gu and the two of them. It's no wonder that the three of them felt uncomfortable.

Seeing that Xin Nian was the first to serve her a bowl of porridge, Aunt Qiu felt even more angry, and the smile on her face deepened, and she said to Feng Gu and Feng Gu: "Sister Xin has already taken action, what are you waiting for?" Again.

Zuo asked with concern: "Sister, do you only want to eat a bowl of porridge? Don't you need to eat something else?"

Xin Nian smiled slightly: "Don't be in a hurry, I'll eat slowly and I'll be able to eat everything."
