Shangguan Qingyue, Wan Linglong and their "assistant" Shangguan Lan stayed in the palace for five consecutive days before they finally finished the work in the imperial study.

During this period, Concubine Rou went to visit once, but before she could even enter, she was choked by the flying dust inside and left in panic.

She lived in the deep palace for a long time, and although she was lonely, she had never suffered any hardship. After that, she never appeared again. Not only that, she also strictly forbade her precious son to go to the imperial study.

It was not until the day Shangguan Qingyue left the palace that Xuanyuan Jing personally went to Shangguan's house with a "generous gift"

Although no one could see what the specific gifts were, the heavy boxes were seen by many people along the way.

The people only heard that the second daughter of the Shangguan family saved Concubine Rou in the palace, but as for what disease Concubine Rou had and how she was saved, no one knew.

Everyone who watched the excitement praised the Fourth Prince for his filial piety and gratitude, while the Shangguan family, who received the gift, was filled with resentment.

After the Fourth Prince left, the nanny in charge of the warehouse went to see Baili Nanqing with the sorted gift list in her hand.

She has always been thoughtful and tactful, but at this moment, there was an indescribable expression on her face.

Baili Nanqing asked in confusion:

"Madam, what's wrong? But the gift from the Fourth Prince is too expensive?"

The housekeeper replied with a bitter face:

"Madam, when I saw those items, I was speechless."

"Oh, what do you say?"

The nanny first handed over the gift list, and then couldn't help but complain:

“They are all large and bulky ornaments that we don’t use on a daily basis and they take up space in the warehouse.

I really don't understand why this noble man would choose to send these things to me. "

In her heart, she actually suspected that the Fourth Prince did it on purpose, but she really couldn't understand why he would repay kindness with resentment.

Their second young lady saved Concubine Rou's life. It would not be too much to be grateful for such a thing even if one spends the rest of his life. Is there something wrong with the fourth prince's brain? !

"Two blue and white porcelain floor-standing vases, a pair of Huanghuali crane wood carvings, and a Xiuyan jade landscape ornament..."

Baili Nanqing read out the names on the gift list one by one, and in the end she was so angry that she laughed.

She slammed the list down on the coffee table beside her, causing the cups and teacups to clink.

"What a shameless Fourth Prince! I have lived for half my life and have never seen such a shameless person!

A prince of a country is not ashamed to do such shameless things? !

He doesn't think that we should be grateful for giving him these junk, right? How could my daughter Baili Nanqing really need such worthless things?!"

Shangguan Yunxin had been waiting to get married in the mansion for some time. At this moment, she was bringing a plate of loquats that Fu Qiuyang had bought from the south for her mother to taste.

As a result, when the man walked to the door, he heard these terrifying words.

The porcelain plate accidentally hit the door frame, and an orange-yellow loquat fell to the ground and rolled to Baili Nanqing's feet.

She sighed lightly, waved away the servants, walked to her mother and couldn't help complaining:

"Mother, the servants are still here, how can you criticize the Fourth Prince so recklessly?

Even if he is not favored, he is still a prince. If the emperor finds out, you will be fine, but your two brothers who are officials in the court will suffer."

Baili Nanqing knew that he had said something wrong, but he still snorted coldly and said angrily:

"What are you afraid of? At worst, they can just follow your father's example and resign from office!

Our family doesn't seek high positions or generous salaries. Mother has plenty of ways to make money, which is enough to ensure that our Shangguan family will have no worries about food and clothing for three generations."

She took the peeled loquat from her daughter, took a bite, and the fresh and juicy flesh immediately moistened her entire mouth and throat.

After taking a comfortable breath, she continued:

"Don't worry, Xin'er. There is no such bullshit saying in our family as 'a daughter who is married off is like water poured out.'

If Qiu Yang dares to do anything to let you down in the future, mother will be the first one to not forgive him!"

Although the words were a bit vulgar, the listeners almost shed tears. Shangguan Yunxin has always lived cautiously since she was a child.

However, she never expected that only after finding the real daughter of the Shangguan family did she feel a sense of belonging.

Because Yue'er is such a special and good girl!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but curl her lips and said with a smile:

"Don't be angry, mother. My younger sister has always been clever and eccentric. I'll tell her about this later. Maybe she can come up with some crooked ideas to punish the Fourth Prince."

Baili Nanqing thought it made a lot of sense and smiled as well.

Sure enough, when Shangguan Qingyue came back from Shuiyunjian after finishing his work and learned about the Fourth Prince's strange behavior, he immediately had an idea after a quick look.

She directly moved those porcelain vases, which were more than a meter tall, into the shop, placed them in a conspicuous place, filled them with water and put fresh flowers in them. They were pleasing to the eye.

Guests who dine at Qibaozhai, or have snacks and read books at Shuiyunjian, will see a large porcelain vase with a beautiful bouquet of flowers as soon as they enter the store.

In the strangeness, there is a kind of bold and majestic beauty...

As a result, many people went to the shop owner or the servants to ask whose idea it was to use the floor-standing porcelain vase to arrange flowers, and where the porcelain vase was bought from.

The staff in the store had already received the instructions, so they never tired of explaining it to the customers in detail every time:

“These porcelain vases are gifts from the Fourth Prince to our host. Perhaps to express his sincere gratitude, he gave us large ornaments.

Our boss's storehouse is small and there is not enough space for everything, so we came up with this idea. These are all items from the palace, and you can't buy them with money!"

The servant spoke with a look of pride, but the people who listened to him had different expressions on their faces.

So, the news that the Fourth Prince gave a bunch of junk to the Second Miss Shangguan Family as a gift to thank her for saving her mother spread quickly.

When the news finally reached the ears of the real owner, Xuanyuan Jing was so shocked that he knocked over the teacup in his hand.

The gifts were prepared by Concubine Rou's order. He was only responsible for delivering the gifts and didn't even bother to take a look at the gift list.

Although Concubine Rou had mentioned long ago that she wanted to give some pretty but useless items, isn't this floor-length blue and white porcelain vase a bit too exaggerated?

He was stunned for a long time before he finally came to his senses and immediately hurried into the palace.

When Xuanyuan Jing stepped into the main hall of Yaoyue Palace, Concubine Rou was putting flowers into a newly replaced pink floral amphora.

The pink and beautiful lotus, coupled with the emerald green lotus leaves, is like a graceful girl who is independent from the world and is pleasing to the eye.

But Xuanyuan Jing found it particularly irritating, and he said angrily:

"Mother, you still have the mind to arrange flowers. My reputation is almost ruined by you!

There are so many things that look good but are not useful, why did you choose something that is big, bulky and not worth much money? Are you so short of money? Are you satisfied that your son is laughed at for being stingy? ! "
