"Cousin, cousin." Princess Qingyuan walked over with a smile and interrupted the conversation between Lu Jingqiu and Chanyi.

"Your Highness." Chan Yi stood up and saluted her.

Pei Jin held An'er and stood aside.

"Hey, isn't this hairpin of mine, cousin, the most valuable treasure in the Treasure Pavilion?" Princess Qingyuan reached out and fiddled with the peacock hairpin on Chan Yi's head, and smiled at Pei Jin thoughtfully.

"Princess Qingyuan," Pei Jin reached out and took Chanyi's hand, interlocking their fingers, "This hairpin was bought by me as a gift for Madam."

"Cousin, you look really good in it." Princess Qing Yuan said with a smile, "Only someone with your temperament can wear such a luxurious sapphire peacock hairpin. Miss Lu, don't you agree?"

Lu Jingqiu nodded silently, chuckled and said, "Princess, you are absolutely right. Princess Ning Xin is both talented and beautiful. There are few noble ladies in the capital who can match her."

She stared at the gold medal on An'er's chest for a long time.

Princess Qingyuan followed her gaze and saw Xiao An'er holding the gold medal in Pei Jin's arms and smiling cutely.

"This was given to him by the Queen. We like it very much." Chan Yi smiled gently.

"So it was a reward from our mother. I was wondering who would give such a big gold medal to a baby." Princess Qingyuan smiled tenderly, "Look, our little An'er's neck is bent. An'er, be good, auntie will help you take this gold medal off, okay?"

Seeing that Princess Qingyuan had a gentle smile and was beautiful, An'er stretched out his chubby little hands to grab the corner of her clothes, making "oh oh" sounds.

Princess Qingyuan thought this little guy was very cute, so she reached out and took off the gold medal that An'er was wearing around his neck, handed it to Chanyi and said with a smile: "An'er is the smartest. Auntie will give the gold medal to your mother and ask her to help you put it away. This is a little bell that Auntie gave you. Do you like it?"

As she spoke, she took out a pair of gold bracelets from her sleeves. There were three small and exquisite bells hanging on them. They could make clear and pleasant sounds when they were shaken gently.

Chan Yi took the pair of gold bracelets, held An'er's chubby little hand, and put the bracelets on his wrists. An'er was so happy that he smiled with his big eyes curved, which was very adorable.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Chan Yi held An'er's hand and shook it gently.

"Ning Xin County Lady, the gold medal given by the Queen is really beautiful. What are the words engraved on it?" Lu Jingqiu, who had been standing silently at the side, suddenly asked with a smile, "I have never seen such a novel gold medal."

Chan Yi picked up the gold medal in her hand, looked at it a few more times deliberately, then turned sideways and said with a smile on her face, "They are just auspicious words."

She didn't know why, but she always felt that something was different when she met Lu Jingqiu this time. Maybe she was jealous of me for ruining her relationship with Pei Jin? So maybe she was dissatisfied with me.

But Chan Yi is not sure whether she is a friend or an enemy to him, so he does not want to take any action rashly. For now, he can only wait and see and act accordingly.

"Oh, is that really the case?" Lu Jingqiu glanced at her with a smile, as if he had discovered some important secret.

Pei Jin was keenly aware of Lu Jingqiu's hidden meaning. He was eager to protect his wife, so he took the gold medal from Chan Yi and replied indifferently, "So Miss Lu is also interested in these. Look, it's just engraved with auspicious words such as "A House Full of Gold and Jade", "Long-lasting Blessings", "Joy Fills the House" and "Glorious Family". "

In fact, he knew very well that Chan Yi was good in everything except that she couldn't read. He was afraid that Lu Jingqiu would find out and make Chan Yi feel ashamed. He felt a little guilty because he didn't teach her to read and write well before, which made her have some weaknesses.

"Miss Lu, when you get married and have a baby, I will give you a gold medal like this." Seeing that Lu Jingqiu was a little embarrassed, Princess Qingyuan quickly eased the atmosphere. After all, today was a palace banquet to welcome the new couple, and she was half the host.

"Your Highness, you are so..." Lu Jingqiu lowered her head, her ears turned red, she leaned forward hastily, and walked away as if escaping.

Princess Qing Yuan looked at her fleeing figure with a hint of displeasure on her face. "It's really strange. She hates to meddle in other people's business, but why is she so talkative today? Cousin, what's wrong with her? Is she jealous of you?"

Chan Yi pursed her lips and chuckled, then shook her head, not wanting to say anything more. Some things don't need to be explained too clearly, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

She knew that although Princess Qingyuan had no ill intentions, she was a delicate princess after all, and sometimes she couldn't help but speak without restraint, and it would be hard to say what would happen when the time came.

Halfway through the palace banquet, Pei Jin used the excuse that Xiao An'er should go to bed and took Chan Yi back to Wu'an Marquis Mansion.

"Chan Yi, are you tired?" Pei Jin handed An'er to Mother Zhou and asked gently. He knew that Chan Yi was impatient to socialize with those people.

Chan Yi shook her head and said, "There are always daily social events. I'm just worried that An'er is still too young and not suitable for these crowded occasions."

"Don't worry, we won't go to those unimportant occasions in the future." Pei Jin helped her sit down beside the bed.

"Okay." Chan Yi looked up at him, "You won't blame me for embarrassing you, right?"

"Chan Yi, why do you say that?" Pei Jin vaguely knew why she said that, and hurriedly held her hand and comforted her softly, "Is it because of Miss Lu? Don't pay attention to her, she's just looking for trouble."

Chan Yi smiled and said, "But she chose to look for me instead of anyone else. Maybe she has guessed my identity."

Pei Jin frowned, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "If she really guessed your identity, it would be a bit troublesome."

Chan Yi sighed: "Yeah, but there's nothing we can do about it."

Pei Jin stroked her hair gently: "Chan Yi, don't worry, she wouldn't dare to say anything even if she guessed it."

Chan Yi raised her head and looked into his eyes: "Why are you so sure?"

Pei Jin frowned and said, "If she dares to talk nonsense, I will not be a pushover. The Wuyang Marquis's Mansion is not what it used to be. I think she is a smart person and won't talk nonsense."

Chan Yi nodded: "I hope so."

Pei Jin held her hand tightly: "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Chan Yi looked at him, her eyes revealing a trace of fatigue and helplessness: "I just feel a little tired."

Pei Jin hugged her lovingly, patted her back gently, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, if I hadn't provoked her before, there wouldn't be so many things. Chan Yi, don't think too much, I'm here."
