The princess frowned and said: "Mrs. Protector and I hit it off as old friends at first sight. I heard that a daughter was getting engaged in the Duke Protector's palace and the Duke was hosting a banquet for guests. She thought it was the second daughter of the Protector's wife who was getting married, so she and her husband went to the Queen Mother together.
I asked for a congratulatory gift, and it turned out that it was a concubine who was getting engaged!"
Prince Lan turned around and said, "Don't be angry. We misunderstood. Who would have thought that a concubine in the Protector's family would be engaged in such a big deal!"
These words made Qiu Jinhong's expression change.
If it were before, Qiu Jinhong would not put an idle prince in his eyes, but now the two of them came with the Queen Mother's congratulatory gifts, and all the guests and friends heard it. If they were allowed to take the congratulatory gifts away, then the Protector of the Country would
The mansion will become famous!
Qiu Jinhong quickly said: "Although Yingshuang is a concubine, she was raised by my wife herself, and she is no different from a legitimate daughter!"
The princess asked with a smile: "Really? Since there is no difference, why don't we see the Protector's wife coming to host the banquet?"
Qiu Jinhong glanced at the housekeeper and said: "Madam is changing clothes. Because she cares too much, she walked in a hurry just now and tore the corner of her skirt. This not only requires another change of clothes! She is so anxious that this daughter is engaged.
But she was so happy!"
As Qiu Jinhong spoke, he invited Prince Lan and Princess Princess to sit high, and said: "Prince Lan and Princess Princess will wait a moment. I will go in and urge Madam to hurry up!"
Prince Lan and Princess Lan also nodded.
Qiu Jinhong hurried to the inner courtyard, leaving Aunt Qiu at the banquet.
Aunt Qiu was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward to salute the princess.
The princess paid no attention to Aunt Qiu.
Aunt Qiu was embarrassed in front of everyone, but she couldn't express her pain, so she had to stand aside in embarrassment.
Qiu Jinhong hurriedly entered the inner house.
Mrs. Qiu Zhuo was sulking when she heard that Qiu Jinhong was going to have a dinner with Aunt Qiu. When she saw Qiu Jinhong coming, she turned her face aside.
"Get out quickly, the county princess is here!" Qiu Jinhong said in a deep voice.
Qiu Zhuo was stunned: "Princess Princess? You're here as soon as you come. It's just to give face to your aunt. What does it have to do with me?"
"She said she felt like old friends at first sight. She came here today just for your sake, and she even brought a congratulatory gift from the Queen Mother!" Qiu Jinhong said in a deep voice, "I won't send this congratulatory gift until I see you!"
Qiu Zhuo was stunned. She only had a one-time relationship with the princess, so she might not be able to get to this point, right?
Qiuzhuo quickly thought about the previous incident where the princess came to protect her matchmaking. Could it be that this time she was deliberately helping her vent her anger and taking the opportunity to persuade her?
"Why are you still standing there? All the guests in the room are watching, waiting for you to go out to receive the Queen Mother's gift. If you still refuse to go out, will the entire Protector's Palace be embarrassed?" Qiu Jinhong had already started.
Angry.
Seeing the anger on Qiu Jinhong's face, Qiu Zhuo knew that she should give up when she was satisfied, so she said in a deep voice: "I can go out, but you must let that woman return to the yard!"
Qiu Jinhong frowned: "Anyway, today is the day of her daughter's engagement. Do you have to be so cruel?"
"Cruel? Are you cruel or am I cruel? Qiu Jinhong, when you were impoverished, I was the only one by your side. Now that you are rich and have become the Lord Protector, there are a lot of people around you. Why don't you think about the past?
?”
Qiu Jinhong said impatiently: "Okay, I won't argue with you anymore. Get out quickly and I will tell her!"
"You let her go back to the courtyard immediately, otherwise I won't go out!" Qiu Zhuo said in a deep voice, "Even if I lose the face of the Protector's Palace, there is nothing I can do!" Qiu Zhuo sat on the Kang table.
motionless.
Qiu Jinhong resisted the urge to strangle Qiu Zhuo to death, and had no choice but to order the housekeeper: "Tell Aunt Qiu to go back to the yard first!"
The housekeeper hurriedly responded.
"Are you satisfied now?" Qiu Jinhong asked in a deep voice.
Qiu Zhuo stood up slowly: "I'm not satisfied. There are many things I'm not satisfied with, but today I'm taking care of the face of the Protector's Palace and protecting my two daughters. Qiu Jinhong, it has nothing to do with you.
, and it has nothing to do with Aunt Qiu!"
After Qiuzhuo finished speaking, he walked straight ahead.
Although Qiu Jinhong was dissatisfied, he still followed.
The moment Qiu Zhuo entered the hall, her expression immediately changed, and she stepped forward to greet the princess with a smile, "Sister, why are you here?"
Hearing this, the princess of the county immediately called Sister Qiuzhuo with a smile: "I heard that there was a wedding in your house, so I asked the Queen Mother for a reward and sent it to you!"
After the princess finished speaking, she glanced at Prince Lan.
Prince Lan nodded and waved his hand, and the four palace servants behind him stepped forward and opened the trays in their hands one by one.
"A pair of gold and jade glass lamps!"
"A pair of green pearls and flying hairpins from the East China Sea!"
"A pair of Yu Ruyi!"
"A pair of gold and jade on horseback and flying swallows!"
When the gift appeared in the hall, all the guests couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration.
The Queen Mother is generous with her money. How much money are so many good things worth?
"Sister, thank you so much!" Qiu Zhuo said, feeling a little bitter in her heart, isn't this a benefit to Aunt Qiu and Qiu Yingshuang?
The princess seemed to have read her thoughts and said directly: "Sister, I asked the Queen Mother for this gift for your sake, please accept it without mercy!"
Qiuzhuo was stunned, raised her eyes, gave it to her? Can she keep it?
"That's right, if it weren't for my sister, I wouldn't have come to the Duke Protector's Mansion!" After the princess finished speaking, she glanced at Prince Lan again, "My prince is not willing to get involved in the affairs of his ministers!"
Qiuzhuo thanked him again.
The princess smiled, took Qiuzhuo's hand and kept talking.
Prince Lan on the side just looked at the princess with a loving smile, as if he only had eyes for the princess.
Qiu Zhuo finally appeared, and Qiu Jinhong and Qiu Zhuo hosted the banquet together.
The banquet started, Prince Lan stayed outside, and the Princess followed Qiu Zhuo to the inner room.
As Qiuzhuo walked away, she lowered her voice and asked, "Princess Princess, this is..."
The princess smiled and said: "If you want to thank, just thank Lord Qingshan County!"
Qiuzhuo was stunned for a moment, Qingshan County Lord, Song Tuanyuan?
"This concubine is the only one in Tiancheng who has such a grand engagement!" the princess said suddenly.
Mrs. Qiu Zhuo blushed and whispered: "Master loves Aunt Qiu, so I must do it..."
"Yes, a concubine married the direct son of the Minister of Rites, and this son was also the top candidate and entered the Hanlin Academy. It is indeed a good marriage and worthy of celebration!" the princess said with a smile.
Mrs. Qiu Zhuo's heart was filled with bitterness. She hesitated and asked, "Why did you say thank you so much to Lord Qingshan County? The princess is very familiar with Lord Qingshan County?"
The princess smiled and said: "I only have a casual relationship with her, not acquaintance. I came to be a matchmaker because I was entrusted by someone. As for who this person is, I can't tell you. Just think about whether you want to agree or not."
!”
Entrusted by others? Who was behind the scenes to help Song reunite like this? Even Prince Lan, who was never willing to meddle in other people's affairs, invited the Queen Mother to take action!
Qiuzhuo suddenly felt that the Song family was not simple!
