My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

However, when she met Concubine Xiao's smiling eyes, Lu Zhenzhen still felt a little embarrassed.

Concubine Xiao didn't say anything, but said with relief: "My Changle is the most proud and arrogant. In all these years, apart from that girl Qingning, this is the first time I, as her mother, have seen her like someone so much."

"Changle looks arrogant, but he's actually the softest-hearted person. Once he recognizes someone, he's absolutely sincere! You'll know in the future!"

Lu Zhenzhen heard the hidden meaning of Concubine Xiao's words, her eyes curved, and she said seriously: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although I may be thick-skinned and may not seem very reliable, I am not the kind of person who will recognize the boss casually."

Concubine Xiao looked at Lu Zhenzhen for a while before she smiled brightly: "That's good! That's good!"

At the same time, he gave a wink to the palace maid beside him, and the palace maid immediately retreated.

Concubine Xiao held Lu Zhenzhen's hand and said, "I won't keep you here today. Come back in a few days and let me talk with you. You haven't finished your story about Bao, Dai, and Chai yet. I'm still waiting to hear the rest of it. Don't forget it!"

Lu Zhenzhen patted her chest and promised, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Even if I can't enter the palace, I promise to write the story of Bao, Dai, and Chai into a storybook and send it to Your Majesty to help you pass the time."

Concubine Xiao's eyes lit up: "That couldn't be better."

As they were talking, Concubine Xiao's maid came in with a few young maids holding trays in their hands. The trays were covered with red silk cloth.

Concubine Xiao smiled and said, "They are just some everyday wearables. Take them home and wear them for fun."

This was called a reward, so Lu Zhenzhen didn't refuse it and knelt down to accept the reward and express her gratitude.

The Fourth Princess also hurried over, holding a small box in her arms, and stuffed it into Lu Zhenzhen's arms: "Take it back and play with it! If you like it, I'll give you another set next time you come to the palace!"

Lu Zhenzhen opened the box and saw a complete set of twelve zodiac animals carved from mutton-fat white jade, which were very lifelike.

This set is probably worth a fortune.

Lu Zhenzhen's hands went limp and she almost dropped the box. Wow, it turns out that the little sister is the richest and most generous!

But this reward was too precious, she really didn't dare to take it and was about to refuse it.

The fourth princess said nonchalantly, "Big Brother Ci, don't you understand the principle of not refusing? Take it! I have many like this. I gave one set to Qingning, one set to you, and I still have one set! If there are no more, I will ask my father for it! But you, you are the village master, and you don't have a few good things in your private treasury to protect your home? Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me, the boss, to lose face? Just keep it if I tell you to!"

When Lu Zhenzhen heard this, she thought it was really worth it for her sister to recognize this child!

I didn't refuse, "Thank you, Boss. I'll take it!"

The fourth princess imitated her father's way of treating his subjects. She put one hand behind her back and waved the other hand: "Take it!"

That look is so adorable.

This made Concubine Xiao so happy that she hugged the man in her arms and rubbed him.

After chatting and laughing, Lu Zhenzhen said goodbye to Concubine Xiao and the Fourth Princess, and was led out of Chengqian Palace by Xiao Hezi and a group of young eunuchs, carrying a pile of rewards.

After leaving the palace, the marquis's carriage had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing the person come out, the groom and guards, who had been worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When he saw the eunuchs following behind him and the trays in their hands, he felt even more relieved.

It seems that the reason why our fourth young lady came out so late is not because something happened to her, but because she was valued by the nobles in the palace.

Xiao Hezi directed the young eunuchs to deliver the rewards to the carriage before saying goodbye.

Naturally, each person got a purse, and then he thanked the eunuch profusely and returned to the palace to report.

Lu Zhenzhen and Nanny Ye got on the carriage. When the carriage started moving, they breathed a sigh of relief, then collapsed and lay on the small table without saying a word.

Don't be fooled by the fact that she was talking and laughing in front of Concubine Xiao and the Fourth Princess just now, and looked very casual, as if she was at home.

In fact, she was always worried.

Now that I'm out, I feel a little more relaxed.

Nanny Ye understood Lu Zhenzhen's current state very well. She didn't nag Lu Zhenzhen in an annoying way to remind her to pay attention to her image. Instead, she moved closer and massaged Lu Zhenzhen's head and shoulders to make her more comfortable.

Lu Zhenzhen groaned as she was pressed.

When they arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, someone had already returned to report in advance. After all, it was Lu Zhenzhen's first time entering the palace, and it would be more reliable for her to be brought in by the first wife, Jin.

But the poison in Jin's body had not been completely eliminated, and the identities of the others were not high enough. Old lady Bai was too old to withstand the fatigue, so they had to let Lu Zhenzhen go in alone.

Ever since she left the Marquis' Mansion, everyone in the mansion has been in suspense.

I was afraid that Lu Zhenzhen would lose her manners in front of the Imperial Concubine.

Generally speaking, this kind of visit to the palace is just a formality. After a certain time, the imperial concubine will give some rewards and then return.

I can also make it back to the Marquis' Mansion for lunch.

But the people in the Marquis' Mansion waited for half a day and no one came out. Who wouldn't be worried?

Especially Lan, who walked around the yard for who knows how many times. She couldn't stay there any longer, so she ran to Ruixuan Hall to wait.

Not long after, Qin and Sun also became worried and followed.

Eventually, even Kim came over.

Seeing everyone looking out the door worriedly, he couldn't help but say, "If I had known earlier, I should have accompanied Brother Yi and his wife into the palace. At least I wouldn't have to worry so much."

At the same time, he smiled apologetically at Lan.

Lan was already very worried, and when she saw that Jin was able to come out and looked in good spirits, she naturally had some ideas in her mind.

What's the point of talking about it now? If you knew earlier, why didn't you do it?

Therefore, he just curled his lips perfunctorily and said nothing.

The smile on Jin's face became a little stiff, and it was only after Qin smoothed things over that the problem was covered up.

After waiting for a long time, someone came in to report that Lu Zhenzhen had returned, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Zhenzhen entered Ruixuan Hall under everyone's gaze.

Everyone saw that she looked calm and knew that everything was going well.

Old Lady Bai asked a few questions and found out that Concubine Xiao did not make things difficult for her and even gave her a lot of rewards. When she heard that the Fourth Princess also gave her rewards, she became even happier.

"That's good, that's good!"

She was about to ask a few more questions, but Lan felt sorry for Lu Zhenzhen. Seeing her tired face, she spoke directly, "Grandfather, please allow your daughter-in-law to take Brother Yi and his wife back to rest first. After all, they've been in the palace for most of the day and look tired!"

"If the old ancestor has anything to ask, just ask Brother Yi's wife to come again tomorrow."

After hearing what Lan said, Old Lady Bai suddenly remembered that although entering the palace seemed glorious, it was actually physically and mentally tiring.

He nodded quickly and said, "I am old and confused and I neglected it. Brother Yi and his wife should go back and have a good rest. You can come back tomorrow after you have rested well."
