The protagonist’s halo

Qi Lingyan relied on that birthday embroidered picture, so that the eldest princess who had neglected her, for a moment relented and recalled the feelings of many years.

On the second day, she was summoned to the long princess mansion to have breakfast together.

The maid Lan Xin was very happy early in the morning, thinking that even if the princess came back, the eldest princess was still worried about her. The people at the top and bottom of the house watched, her young lady was still favored by the princess, and Fuyuyuan didn't lose power.

Qi Lingyan stopped her, "The princess will definitely be there too. If I dress too well, it won't be good."

Lan Xin pouted, a little reluctant to put these clothes and hairpins back. In the past, every year the princess treated the young lady well, and the clothes and jewelry made for the young lady were countless, and they were the best and most fashionable and exquisite. Now I can't wear it.

In the end, Qi Lingyan chose a relatively plain dress, which was also very simple, wearing only a few pearl hairpin headdresses.

When we arrived at the main courtyard, Princess Zhaohua saw her, thinking that Qi Lingyan was neglected by her servants in the past two days.

She likes a beautiful and generous girl, and Qi Lingyan has always been to her liking, and she is also very proud of her when she is socializing outside. Even if her biological daughter came back, Qi Lingyan would still be a lady in the house, how could she be bullied by those servants and maidservants at will.

Qi Lingyan quickly explained a few words, behaving even more humane and thoughtful than before, humble and respectful, and even Madam Wu, who was a little worried yesterday, had a good impression of her.

Fuyuyuan was close to the residence of the princess, not as remote as Qingyi's courtyard. Even the princess Zhaohua wanted to see her daughter from time to time, but she couldn't bear to let her walk so far several times a day. The Qingyi courtyard was picked by the daughter herself, so she couldn't say anything. In addition, I went to Beijing to take a boat for half a month. I was exhausted. The eldest princess was reminded by the mother next to me to let the princess take a good rest in the past two days.

When Xiao Han came, she saw the princess standing on her side, a pretty and slender girl in a plain dress and a waistband.

Before she could think about it, the girl took the initiative to bow and salute, "Ling Yan has seen the princess."

Xiao Hancui accepted the ceremony without avoiding it.

So the eldest princess just wanted to say that her family didn't need to show any polite words, and she was choked back. Qi Lingyan's eyes flickered, and she was a little surprised, but her gentle and beautiful face didn't show up, she was still so gentle and humble.

Seeing that Xiao Han didn't mean to speak, Princess Zhaohua took the initiative to introduce with a smile, "Mingzhu, this is Lingyan, the righteous daughter adopted by her mother. She has been raised in the mansion all these years, you haven't seen it."

For some reason, the eldest princess's tone became weaker. Xu Shi Xiao Han looked at her with too clear and open eyes, which inexplicably made her feel a little guilty, and also remembered the words of Madam Wu, the existence of Lingyan Will hurt my daughter's heart.

But she has good intentions. My daughter just came back and is not familiar with life in Beijing. Isn't it nice to have a good understanding sister to accompany her to take care of her?

Seeing Princess Zhaohua's words, her eyes began to drift, Xiao Han smiled slightly, "I know Miss Qi, and I heard from my elder brother that I am also very happy to have Miss Qi accompanied by my mother."

As soon as this sentence came out, let alone the eldest princess and the other maids, even Qi Lingyan was stunned, and it took a while to come back to her senses.

This is different from what she expected. Qi Lingyan thought that the princess might be disgusted and rejected when she saw her, or it might be dissatisfaction written on her face, and she would not be too happy. She was also prepared to be left out and disliked, but she never expected that the princess would say such words.

To be honest, Qi Lingyan's past life is gone forever as soon as the princess comes back.

Even if she knew that no matter her status or petting, she would never have passed the princess, but Qi Lingyan felt uncomfortable in her heart. Starting from the letter from Luzhou, she had a good rest for several days and nights.

She had really thought about it if the princess didn't come back.

Even when I saw the princess, I inevitably developed some comparisons.

In addition to no blood relationship and no status as a princess, Qi Lingyan can become a well-known lady in Beijing, and she is praised. She also has her own arrogance. She thinks she is not inferior to the eldest princess's daughter, and the county mainstream is outside. For many years, he has grown up in small households in the countryside, lacking a lot of etiquette and education, and he can never make up for it in a moment. It is this self-confidence that makes her feel that the princess will always have her own in the eyes of the princess, and she will still be Miss Qi of the princess mansion.

When the princess Zhaohua heard this, she was also startled. It is reasonable to say that she should be happy and satisfied. Mingzhu's attitude is like she is willing to get along well with Lingyan, but she feels a little uncomfortable in her heart, as if there is something she can't catch. Similar.

Xiao Han didn't expect that just a simple sentence would provoke such a big reaction.

The righteous sibling girl couldn't help but raise her head to stare at her, and there was complexity in her eyes, although she quickly recovered her senses to cover it up, and lowered her head.

Xiao Han didn't have any feelings about Qi Lingyan, or she was the same to the people in the Long Princess's Mansion. Anyway, she wouldn't stay here for long, and she didn't need to care about these people and things.

Qi Lingyan hesitated for a moment, and still said softly, "Lingyan only served the eldest princess for some time, not as deep as the princess and the mother and daughter of the princess. These years, the princess has been thinking about the princess all the time. , I also hope that the princess will appreciate the motherly heart of the eldest princess."

Princess Zhaohua once again lamented Qi Lingyan's caring and sensible manner in her heart, and also helped to promote the relationship between her and her daughter.

Xiao Han nodded, and hummed softly. For so many years, she had forgotten the eldest princess's family, and she never thought of coming back to recognize them, because she was a little sorry for them.

Such a somewhat dull reaction made the maternal love that the eldest princess had just aroused like being poured with cold water.

The eldest princess was unprepared, lost and depressed, and even showed on her face. She imagined that she would find her relatives and reunite her mother and daughter again. It should be her daughter's pearl, like a caring little cotton jacket, always sticking to her and getting close to her. Everything depends on her to listen to her.

It must be that the daughter is still a little strange to her when she just came back, just take it easy, the princess Zhaohua comforted herself, and she didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Qi Lingyan was still so considerate and asked the maid to serve breakfast.

The breakfast is mostly the princess's taste, sweet and creamy, and some light and simple things have been added in the past two days. It was the princess who learned about Xiao Han's eating habits and personally ordered the people in the kitchen to prepare it.

Qi Lingyan took the small white jade bowl held by the maid, and personally filled a bowl of health soup from the blue and white porcelain cup for the eldest princess. The stepping ring on his body did not make a sound, and the others didn't say anything, as if they were used to it.

Xiao Han was a little puzzled, whether the eldest princess treated the person as a righteous girl or a maidservant.

She has forgotten that the filial piety of this era is overwhelming. Taking care of food, clothing and daily life does not leave the hands of others. Maybe she still feels so close.

…

After breakfast, the princess gave orders, all kinds of expensive clothes, jewellery and head jewellery were covered with the splendid draperies, and the gorgeous interior of the baoding.

Xiao Han had a headache, and somehow, the eldest princess seemed to believe that she had suffered in the past.

It is true that this will make the princess and Wei Guohou treat her better, and make up for her more with guilt.

But God can learn, except for the first few days when she was taken into captivity and traded by traffickers, her life in South Vietnam was safe and smooth, with Madam Xiao and the Xiao family as the support, and an elder Han who held military power as a teacher. It was the princes and nobles of Nanyue who did not dare to provoke her casually.

Needless to say, becoming the crown prince later.

She didn't say anything bad in her remarks, Xiao Han recalled, she still didn't know that it was just because of the fact that the feet were not bound, which made the princess feel distressed and pity.

Xiao Han accompanied the eldest princess to sit in the room all morning, and even the eldest princess chose clothes and jewelry for her. She still had to go to the Daci Temple two days later to vouch for her. He did not object, and did not show any impatience.

Most of the boats for half a month have arrived, so it is impossible to sit in the back house of the princess mansion for a few days.

But in fact, Xiao Han sat quietly in the chair like this, maintaining a kind and close smile, seemingly silent, listening patiently, but the maid and the maid did not dare to gasp inexplicably, as if facing Hou Like a son of a father, he is sincere and fearful. Even as long as she said a word, even Princess Zhaohua felt weak and couldn't really call the shots.

The princess looked at the bright and gorgeous materials and the exquisite and intricate beading on the head, but when she saw Xiao Han frowned, the princess said in a ghostly manner, "Forget it, change something else."

However, those are all her favorites, and the princess is also entangled and depressed. She is the mother of Mingzhu and the princess of Daxia, and she doesn't know how to say or what to say in front of her daughter. What kind of attitude is it arrogant, and I can't stand up a word.

Xu is too guilty of her daughter, too anxious to make up.

Qi Lingyan also felt at a loss for what to do this half day, the princess seemed to be a woman she had never seen before.

She has dealt with many ladies and ladies, arrogant and arrogant, timid and meek, and secretive. Daxia's girls seemed to be born to learn how to fight between female celebrities and house fights, except for the very lucky few.

As for the returned princess Zhao Yinghuan, she was more like an exception.

Her back is always straight, her eyes are clear and open, even when she is facing the eldest princess, she is looking at her directly, her tone is neither humble nor overbearing, closeness and alienation are maintained in a good sense, and more importantly, she most of the time They all listened with a smile, but as long as she spoke, she took the initiative, even the princess, this seemed to be a kind of temperament, a kind of innate temperament.

It was like there was nothing to keep her head down.

After Qi Lingyan returned to Fuyiyuan, the maid Lan Xin worried and asked whether the princess had bullied her. But she heard people say that the princess not only did not bind her feet but also practiced martial arts, and her lady was soft and weak, if she was right. I don't know how pitiful it is, and it may not be guarded by someone.

Qi Lingyan sighed, and said after a long time, "The princess is not an ordinary woman."

Qi Lingyan couldn't think of any other words to describe for a while, or the vocabulary she accepted to describe women was not suitable, and even her previous guesses seemed superficial to the princess.

Maid Lan Xin was puzzled, whether this is good or bad.

In fact, it wasn't just her doubts, Qi Lingyan was even more confused. Just half a day of getting along made her mood more complicated and confused.

The person Qi Lingyan most envy and yearning to become is the eldest princess, whose status is noble and lofty, and her life is happy and prosperous, and her glory is endless. But seeing the princess, she seemed so out of place, but inexplicably people felt that her words, deeds, and attitude were taken for granted.

It's hard to say that all the women who grew up in the countryside are like this, but Qi Lingyan doesn't look as rude and rude as others say, and is not reserved enough, on the contrary, she doesn't have a sense of magnanimity.

After a long silence, Qi Lingyan suppressed these thoughts.

Even if the country girl lives more comfortably and is not restricted by etiquette and rules, after all, she is not accustomed to enjoying the life of fine clothes and jade, and she can accept it. Even if the impression of the princess is her true thoughts, "uncommon" is not a good thing for women.

Even if she is expensive as the princess.

…

In the afternoon, Wei Guohou mentioned that both His Majesty and the Queen Mother already knew about finding the Pearl.

Especially when the queen mother is getting older, she likes watching her children and grandchildren reunite with her family. She heard that the only granddaughter is still alive, and when she recognizes it, she is even more happy. She is eager to meet up soon and see what the child grows. That's it.

Emperor Qianming recognized himself as a filial son, so he told Wei Guohou and asked him to bring people into the palace.

Princess Zhaohua has forgotten the uncomfortable feeling of being weak and uncomfortable when getting along with her daughter. In other words, Princess Zhaohua is a woman who easily forgets her troubles, or does not subconsciously think about it. Now I am full of eyes on what Wei Guohou said.

She also smiled at Xiao Han, "Don't be afraid, the queen mother is your grandmother, treat you well back then."

There was not even a prince and prince in the palace that couldn't be compared.

The eldest princess Zhaohua also thought that after the two days of rest, she would take her daughter into the palace to meet the queen mother, and let the emperor's brother tell the world by the way. She also wants to hold a grand banquet in the Princess Palace to formally restore her daughter's identity, so that everyone will know about it. Fortunately, her daughter was in trouble, but she only claimed that she had been taken into captivity and was missing, and her death was never announced. The title and honors were still there, otherwise there would be some trouble.

Xiao Han was noncommittal, and smiled slightly, "No hurry, let's talk about this later."

The princess heard that she was a little bit disappointed, but was persuaded by Wei Guohou. Her daughter hadn't even adapted to the life of the Hou Mansion. It was not good to see Tian Yan in such a hurry. His Majesty had his own explanation. After thinking about it, the eldest princess found it reasonable, and no longer insisted on it. She thought it would be better to enter the palace after learning the court etiquette and rules for a while, so as not to gain or lose courtesy.
