The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official

Gu Ruoxi followed Xie Qingrou obediently and walked into the mansion under the guidance of Nanny Xu.

It was naturally inconvenient for Lord Nangong to enter, but Nangong Yu followed his mother and Gu Ruoxi inside. He also wanted to pay his respects to the Third Princess.

After entering the palace gate, I saw two neat rows of people, one row was maids, and the other row was eunuchs. However, each of these eunuchs had a sedan chair beside them.

Nanny Xu naturally arranged for Xie Qingrou and Gu Ruoxi to sit in the sedan chair. When arranging Nangong Yu, Nangong Yu smiled and said:

"I'll just follow the sedan."

Qingqiu and Qingfeng walked behind Xie Qingrou's sedan chair, while Jiuhuan walked behind Gu Ruoxi's sedan chair. Nangong Yu walked beside Gu Ruoxi.

He could see that Gu Ruoxi was still a little nervous. So he said softly:

"It's still a bit far from here to the inner residence, but the palace is very beautifully built. I used to come here often when I was a kid."

"Go past the study room, there is a lake behind. The lake is quite big and can be extended to the backyard. When I was a child, I went fishing in that lake with Prince Ning and the Prince of the Palace. We didn't catch any fish, but we almost fell into the lake."

Gu Ruoxi smiled faintly.

"See that flower stand? Behind the flower stand is the second gate. Wait a minute, you are behind the second gate. My father and I are in the outer courtyard."

Gu Ruoxi nodded.

After entering the second gate, the eldest maid Chu Yang was standing beside Princess He An, with two younger maids following behind her.

When he saw the Marquis' wife coming in, he immediately bowed:

"This servant greets Madam Hou."

"Get up, are you here to pick up my daughter-in-law?"

Chu Yang smiled and said:

"Yes, the princess asked me to wait here and lead the way when the young lady arrives."

Qingfeng, who was following the Marquis’ wife, stepped forward and gave Chuyang a small purse:

"The beginning of the sun."

Chu Yang took the purse with a smile and bowed again:

"Thank you, madam, for the reward."

Then he bent his knees towards the breeze:

"Meet Sister Qingqiu, Sister Qingfeng."

Then he walked to the sedan chair behind and bowed:

"Chu Yang greets the young lady and greets the young master."

Gu Ruoxi still remembered Chu Yang, the girl who had accompanied Princess An to Jingyue Lake last time.

Gu Ruoxi smiled and said:

"No need to be so polite. I will go and greet the princess first, and then I will go to see the princess."

Early Sun:

"That should be the case. I will go with the young lady."

As she spoke, she followed Jiu Huan with the two little girls.

As the group walked in, they saw more servants coming and going.

Moreover, some people who arrived earlier were already walking in the garden and naturally saw the sedan chair coming.

This kind of car has no roof, so you can tell who is coming at a glance.

Some people came over to pay their respects:

"Meet Madam Hou."

Xie Qingrou nodded gently and said:

"You guys play first, I'm going to go say hello to the princess."

They rode in a sedan chair all the way to a place called Qingnian Hall and stopped.

There were even more people in this courtyard, and the corridors on both sides were filled with servants.

Madam Xu waved her hand twice, and two little maids came forward to push down the sedan chair.

Qingfeng and Qingqiu each helped Xie Qingrou and Gu Ruoxi down.

When they arrived at the door of Qingnian Hall, another big maid came out to greet them. After bowing, she and Qingfeng helped Xie Qingrou walk inside.

Gu Ruoxi also kept smiling, straightened her back, and followed behind Madam Hou. Nangong Yu was walking beside her.

There were many wives of officials in Qingnian Hall, some with their daughters-in-law or some with their daughters.

Generally, the girls would retreat behind the screen when they heard the announcement that Nangong Yu was coming.

And these young wives also secretly looked at Nangong Yu.

This legendary Prince Nangong, who was like a banished immortal, now doesn't even want the position of prince anymore.

When the Third Princess heard that Xie Qingrou had arrived, she went to the door to greet her with her servants, Princess He'an, and her eldest daughter-in-law Ouyang Jing. Just then, Xie Qingrou also walked to the door.

Just as Xie Qingrou was about to salute, the Third Princess reached out and pulled her back, saying:

"Are you still being polite to me? Come in quickly. I've been telling you to come several times. Why are you just arriving now?"

She did not allow Xie Qingrou to bow, but her daughter-in-law Ouyang Jing and daughter Liang Le both bowed behind her:

"Meet Madam Hou."

Liang Le even walked over to Nangong Yu and Gu Ruoxi and bowed:

"Meet Brother Yu, meet Sister-in-law Ruoxi."

Ouyang Jing also stepped forward and saluted:

"Greetings, young master. Greetings, young lady."

Nangong Yu and Gu Ruoxi also hurriedly returned the greeting.

A few people greeted each other across the threshold before entering the house.

Under the command of Madam Xu, Xie Qingrou was arranged to sit in the first seat to the left of the Third Princess. Two small stools were also placed one step back between Xie Qingrou and the Third Princess.

It seems to be arranged for Princess He'an and Gu Ruoxi.

After entering the house, everyone sitting in the room stood up, and even if they didn't recognize them, they knew that these people were of high status.

Each of them was wearing brocade clothes and expensive jewelry. They all looked at her with a smile, but Gu Ruoxi didn't feel any kind eyes.

Everyone is like a smiling fox.

Gu Ruoxi also kept a fake smile.

After the princess took the marquis' wife to sit down, Nangong Yu brought Gu Ruoxi forward and paid their respects to the Third Princess seriously.

The Third Princess looked at Gu Ruoxi with surprise, and helped her up with her own hands, saying:

"Qingrou, your wife is so beautiful. She and Yuer look very good together. She is a lively girl. It's a pity that you didn't let me go that day. I owe the children a gift."

As he spoke, he took off a jade bracelet from his wrist and put it directly on Gu Ruoxi's wrist:

"This is my gift to you."

As she spoke, she turned back and a maid behind her handed her a brocade box:

"This set of headgear was given to me by the Empress Dowager, so I am giving it to you. At that time, you got married under special circumstances, so I was unable to attend. Now I am making up for it."

Gu Ruoxi didn't expect that she could accept gifts. When Nanny Yang talked to her at home, she didn't mention accepting gifts.

So I didn't know whether I should accept it or not. Turning to look at the mother-in-law sitting there, Xie Qingrou smiled and said:

"Take it. Thank you, Third Princess."

Gu Ruoxi held the box in both hands and bowed again:

"Thank you, Third Princess."

The third princess smiled and said:

"No thanks, no thanks. The last time I met your mother, I knew that your mother and Yu'er loved you very much. When I saw you today, I found that you are indeed a beautiful girl."

After Nangong Yu paid his respects, the Third Princess praised him and let him go to the outer courtyard. After all, there were many families here with unmarried girls.

After Nangong Yu left, Gu Ruoxi, under the guidance of He An, sat behind Xie Qingrou and sat together with He An. Just as He An was about to speak, a little girl came over and reported:

"The old lady of Duke Qin's Mansion has arrived."
