After hearing this, the women of the Duan family looked more or less surprised, and even the children looked a little confused.
Qiao Lan calmly comforted them as before: "Master He said that his identity is different from ordinary people, so he didn't make it public before. Now you know, outside, treat him as Master Helan. Don't talk too much about Master He outside."
"Yes, mother." Mrs. Wang responded with a salute.
The other daughters-in-law hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
The granddaughters in the family are quiet and well-behaved, and will not talk about this matter to outsiders. The only factor that has a greater influence is Duan Mingjing. Fortunately, Duan Mingjing did not come today.
Everyone thought for a while, and roughly understood one thing. The reason why their family received the post from the Princess Mansion was because of Mr. Helan.

When the Duan family returned to the banquet, the women who had been sitting around with dignified expressions were all talking in twos and threes.
Attending the banquet at the Princess's Mansion today, Ms. Wang originally wanted to get to know as many people as she could. If she couldn't get to know the people, she wasn't very prepared.
It was to Wang's expectation that the ladies at the banquet showed little interest in them. Wang, who was not involved in their conversation, was not curious or anxious at all.
The women's discussion was neither too loud nor too quiet, and you could hear some from the surroundings. At this moment, the focus of everyone's conversation centered on Mr. Helan, whom they had just met.
It's just that Mrs. Wang is now thinking that the man she has been with for a long time on the way to escape is actually the son of the eldest princess, Mr. Helan, who is famous in the capital.
This feeling was roughly similar to the occasional ordinary man in the mountains who turned out to be an anonymous prince. Thinking of this, Wang could not calm down for a long time.
As soon as the Duan family sat down, several beautiful maids walked up to the Duan family, and the surrounding eyes gradually focused on the Duan family.
"I wonder where Lady Huitian is? The eldest princess has invited Lady Huitian..."
"I'm here!" Qiao Lan responded.
The whole courtyard became much quieter.
"My lady, please come with your servant."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qiao Lan was led to the inner courtyard by the eldest princess's maid.
As soon as Qiao Lan left, everyone's discussion became much louder than before.
"Who is Lady Huitian?"
"You don't know this, right? There is only one female queen whom His Majesty has personally designated!"
"...you should talk about it"
Wang and others watched Qiao Lan leave, and when they turned around, they found that the lady in the garden seemed to be staring at them with bright eyes.

When the eldest princess came over earlier, Qiao Lan was far away and could only see a corner of the eldest princess's clothes. After listening to a few words, she had a hazy impression in her mind.
This eldest princess should not be a weak-tempered person.
Before she stepped into the door of the wing, Qiao Lan smelled a scent spreading out from the door. Although the scent was strong, it was not unpleasant.
Qiao Lan followed the maid and walked inside. When she raised her head, she saw a beauty in red clothes and a golden hairpin sitting on a low couch. Her every smile was charming.
Qiao Lan took a look and had an idea in her mind.
This is Young Master Helan's biological mother? She even believes that she is Young Master Helan's biological sister!
"The old lady is here!" The woman's strong yet soft voice sounded.
Qiao Lan couldn't confirm the identity of the visitor for a while, so she could only shout, "I wonder if the girl is..."
These words made the woman in front of him laugh so hard that she took Qiao Lan's hand and sat on the couch next to her.
"It's really interesting what the old lady said. I'm quite old this year. Although it doesn't show it from the outside, but compared with the old lady, I'm not much different from the old lady." The eldest princess said with a sweet smile.
It seems that no matter where you are, calling people younger is always popular, such as now.
Qiao Lan: "She's the eldest princess? I'm so rude!"
Qiao Lan said that she was about to stand up and salute the eldest princess.
The eldest princess hurriedly stopped her again, "Don't be like this, old lady. The old lady took care of Feng'er all the way and cured Feng'er's stubborn illnesses. Feng'er said that you were extraordinarily kind and treated him very well. It made me want to
You recognize him as your step-grandson. If you really do it according to seniority, I have to salute you."
Qiao Lan raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, and immediately refused, "Princess, you can't do this!"
Even though she dresses like an old woman, her soul is still that of a young man in her twenties!
Why does it make people look so kind and want to recognize her as their grandma?
no!
Seeing Qiao Lan's serious expression, the eldest princess felt very amused, and her attitude toward Qiao Lan became a little more cordial: "Don't worry, old lady, I'm just joking with you!"
With He Lanfeng acting as an intermediary, the eldest princess and Qiao Lan soon started a friendly meeting.
The eldest princess paid close attention to Qiao Lan and asked her how her life was in the south and what discomfort she had after returning to the capital.
Qiao Lan picked up interesting things and told them to the eldest princess, which made her very happy.
The conversation was very harmonious.
Until the maid next to them came and interrupted them, "Your Highness, it's getting late, it's almost the hour of You."
Youshi is around five o'clock in the afternoon.
Qiao Lan looked at the sunlight at the gate for a while. The trees in the yard were elongated by the setting sun and cast shadows on the gate.
"So fast!" the eldest princess said, somewhat unfinished.
"If I had known earlier, I would have entertained the old lady alone and not invited those random people."
Qiao Lan smiled and didn't dare to answer the question at all.
"It's a pity that I only saw the old lady today. Lin'er, bring that red box." The eldest princess ordered, and then looked at Qiao Lan.
"The old lady has helped my son many times. I should have come to say thank you, but unfortunately there are some important matters at home and I cannot come in person. When I heard that the old lady came to the capital, I planned to go to her house to have a look, but I was afraid to go.
We have to be in a hurry, the house is not ready to cause trouble to the old lady, so we can only prepare some gifts."
"The old lady has returned to the capital now, and she should stay in the capital permanently from now on!" asked the eldest princess.
Qiao Lan nodded, "As old as I am, I can't go anywhere else. I should stay in the capital from now on."
"I have long heard that the old lady is good at farming and mulberry farming, which can make the fields more productive. If the old lady has planted the grain in the village in the capital, you must invite me to come and have a look! I have lived in the house for a long time and have never seen the world...
..." The eldest princess held Qiao Lan's hand and said kindly.
Immediately afterwards, several maids came over carrying a huge mahogany box.
When the box fell to the ground, it made a slight sound, and it was difficult for Qiao Lan not to notice it.
So big?
Is this called a box?
"I don't know what the old lady likes, so I asked the people in the house to prepare these. This gift is not very expensive, but it comes from my heart. The old lady must not refuse it!" The eldest princess looked at Qiao Lan and said,
