The people in the Shen family also received the news that she was coming back early, and they had people clean up the yard and prepare meals early.

Although they all missed Mu Yunyao very much, they also knew that she was very tired now.

She only saw the elder waiting for her outside the door, and then was sent back to her own yard.

The maid had already prepared hot water, and after she washed up, she brought her favorite meal.

While she was eating, the nanny from the old lady's courtyard came.

"Mammy, what instructions does the old lady have?"

Qingyun saw the person coming and hurried over to greet him.

The nanny smiled and nodded, then said, "Qingyun girl, don't be restrained, eat first."

Mu Yunyao put down her chopsticks when she saw the person coming.

"My lady, there is nothing wrong. She just asked me to come and tell you that you have worked hard on the journey. You should have a good rest today. You don't need to greet the elders. We can have dinner together tomorrow."

Mu Yunyao knew that the old man felt sorry for her.

He quickly stood up and said, "Yun Yao thanks grandma for your consideration."

The nanny realized that it would be inconvenient for the master and servant to have their meal if she was here, so she left after delivering the message.

"Miss, I have finished delivering the old lady's message. I will take my leave now."

Qingyun escorted the man out of the yard, gave him some reward, and then returned to the house.

"Master, the old lady really loves you."

If this happened in other families, when children and grandchildren returned from outside, they would definitely pay their respects to the elders at home one by one before they could go back to their own place to rest.

That whole process was more tiring than traveling.

Mu Yunyao continued to pick up the chopsticks, and after hearing Qingyun's words, she nodded in agreement.

On the seventh day of June, Princess Anle returned to the capital, and on the eighth day of June, a palace banquet was held to welcome the princess.

Officials of the third rank and above in the capital and their families were invited to the palace for the banquet.

Mu Yunyao not only sent an invitation, but also sent one to the Shen family.

Old Madam Shen didn't want to enter the palace, so she gave the invitation to her son and asked him to bring his daughter-in-law into the palace.

Uncle Shen actually didn't want to go, but it was His Majesty's order, and if he didn't go, he would be disobeying the order.

Mu Yunyao found it a little funny to see her uncle like that.

"Uncle, are you afraid to go to the palace? Is His Majesty asking you for money again?"

I have to say that His Majesty has done a lot of things like this, but all this money was used for people's livelihood and also provided a lot of convenience to the Shen family.

Uncle Shen didn't care about the money, he just simply didn't want to go.

But he really had to go this time. After all, his niece was definitely the main contributor to the eldest princess' return to the court, and His Majesty should reward her. Naturally, he wanted to go and see.

The aunt was speechless when she saw her husband like this, and she took Mu Yunyao's hand and said.

"Don't pay attention to your uncle. Go with your aunt to pick out clothes and accessories."

Then he looked at her with an embarrassed expression.

"You just came back, it's too late to make old clothes now. I can only pick two sets from the dowry I prepared for you before, and then ask the maid to make them according to your size."

She also noticed that the girl seemed to have lost a lot of weight after not seeing her for a few days.

The new clothes prepared for her in her dowry were all cut according to her previous sizes.

Fortunately, it is easy to change it from a big one to a smaller one.

Mu Yunyao originally thought that she only needed to pick two sets of clothes from a few sets of dresses and let her aunt choose whatever she wanted.

But when she saw the clothes in the room where all the rooms in the courtyard were stored, she was stunned.

There are at least several hundred sets, dozens of sets for each season, spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Her aunt told her that this was the result of several months of overtime work by the embroiderers from several embroidery workshops in Shenjia Jiangnan.

It was the dowry they prepared for her.

Mu Yunyao suddenly felt that she might not have to make new clothes for many years to come.

But seeing that they were all popular styles, Mu Yunyao felt that they might not want her to wear them for a long time.

Mu Yunyao felt a little helpless, but she also felt the heavy love between them.

She picked out two sets suitable for this season and said to Mrs. Shen.

"Aunt, just these two."

"Row."

After saying that, he did not forget to compliment, "The little girl looks better in brighter colors."

After choosing these, I went on to choose cosmetics and jewelry.

Mu Yunyao looked at the cosmetics and jewelry that were no less beautiful than the clothes, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Aunt, with so many things, I can open two shops in the capital."

What she said was not an exaggeration at all, especially for cosmetics. Some colors are simply not available in ordinary cosmetics shops.

Not to mention the jewelry and head ornaments, every set of them was exquisite and luxurious.

Mu Yunyao never thought that one day her dowry would be so much that she would be dazzled.

The key point is that this is only the part prepared by the Shen family. Her current identity is a princess. When she gets married, she will have 68 loads of dowry prepared by the royal family, as well as those left by her mother.

She felt that her dowry was enough to ensure the prosperity of a noble family for a hundred years.

Of course, this was just her imagination.

After choosing her clothes and jewelry, her aunt urged her to put on her makeup quickly. After all, the palace banquet was in the evening and it was not early at this time.

The Shen family is not close to the palace, and it would be disrespectful if they were late.

This time, Mu Yunyao rode in the same carriage with her aunt, while her uncle followed beside them on horseback.

It was not the first time for the aunt to enter the palace. It was said that she used to be close friends with the queen, so naturally she was not nervous about entering the palace. The two chatted along the way. Mu Yunyao told her about the customs and practices she had seen on the way back to Beijing from the southwest. Time passed quickly and they arrived at the palace gate.

As usual, he got off the car for inspection and then walked into the palace.

Mu Yunyao saw a familiar person as soon as she got off the car.

"Liuyun."

Mu Yunyao immediately spotted the familiar face with a bun on her head, following behind the women of the Rong family.

Princess Liuyun turned around when she heard the voice, and she also laughed when she saw Mu Yunyao.

Then I mouthed to her, "wait for me."

Then, she said something to the middle-aged woman next to her, and then she saw that person nodded at her.

Then Liuyun lifted her skirt and walked towards her quickly.

"Yun Yao, long time no see."

Mu Yunyao also looked at him carefully. After not seeing him for a few months, he seemed to have become a little fatter.

"Looking at you, the Rong family treats you well."

The person Mu Yunyao is most familiar with in the Rong family is Old Madam Rong, who in her impression is a kind old lady.

"Well, the Rong family has a good family tradition, and my mother-in-law is also very sympathetic to me and never asks me to stand in line with the rules."

There was no trace of embarrassment in Liuyun's eyes when she said this, and Mu Yunyao knew that what she said was true.

"As long as you feel happy, with an enlightened elder like the old lady, I think the Rong family's family tradition will not be bad."

Liuyun also nodded heavily.

Then he asked with a worried look on his face, "Yun Yao, didn't you say you were going to the Northern Frontier? Why did you go to the Southwest again? Do you know that Ning Yin and I were very worried about you when we found out?"
