Her hair was cloud-like and beautiful! She opened her eyes and found herself back in the third year

After three years of estrangement, the couple finally showed signs of breaking the ice, and the entire Chunxie Courtyard was filled with joy.

Granny Gui went into the house to bring a pot of tea, but didn't dare to disturb them any longer. After leaving the house, she stood in the courtyard, staring blankly at the entrance for a long time.

"How are the Marquis and the Princess?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Gui turned around and saw Granny Jin standing behind her.

Qin Yizhen originally had four people serving her closely: first, Granny Gui, who had raised her since childhood and was her wet nurse; second, her two maids, Hongying and Lüqiao.

Hongying is now managing the outside affairs for Qin Yizhen.

When Qin Yizhen got married, she brought a huge dowry, including a princess's fief, as well as fields, shops and houses. The dowry included a thousand officials and guards, and five thousand servants.

Although these things are managed by someone, if the master doesn't pay attention for a long time, the subordinates are prone to developing other ideas.

Therefore, as Qin Yizhen's confidante, the brave and resourceful Hongying took on the responsibility of supervision and became Qin Yizhen's spokesperson, often not by Qin Yizhen's side.

Finally, there is Granny Jin. Granny Jin was the head nanny that Empress Dowager Cheng arranged for Qin Yizhen before her marriage.

However, both Granny Gui and Granny Jin had previously annoyed Qin Yizhen by advising her to live a good life with Cheng Yan, so Qin Yizhen stopped letting them stay around her.

Granny Gui said with some concern, "It's alright, but the princess still seems a little uncomfortable. The Marquis picked out some things about this trip to tell her."

Granny Jin commented, "That can be considered a harmonious situation. If you feel uncomfortable at first, you'll feel more comfortable after spending more time together. It's a good start, and the Marquis has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel."

"When it comes to matters of love between men and women, they are the most untouchable. If one is lucky enough to become a couple and stay together for life, that is the greatest joy in the world, just like the poem says, 'A single meeting in the golden autumn breeze and jade dew surpasses countless encounters in the human world.'"

But if, unfortunately, one's desires are not fulfilled, leading to heartbreak and hurt, then that is a catastrophe as if the sky has fallen.

Granny Jin spoke with great emotion, which drew the attention of Granny Gui. Just as she was about to ask Granny Jin why she was so emotional, a maidservant hurriedly came from the door to report.

"Granny Jin, Granny Gui, Concubine Wang requests an audience."

"Aunt Wang?" Granny Gui frowned. "What is she doing here? Why did she have to come now of all times?"

The maid replied, "Aunt Wang said that she broke one of the princess's teacups today and promised to replace it with a new one. She happened to have some free time now, so she brought it over to the princess."

"Sending teacups? What a joke! Is it that tomorrow will never dawn, or that she will die tomorrow morning, that she would send teacups at this time?" Granny Gui thought that Wang Xianrong had no good intentions in coming at this time.

"Let her go back."

The maid said, "I also spoke with Aunt Wang, but she only told me to inform the princess and refused to leave."

"Is it because they think the princess is good-natured and won't hold a grudge against her?" Granny Gui was a little angry and rolled up her sleeves, ready to argue with the other woman. "I'll go talk to her."

"Wait a moment." Granny Jin stopped Granny Gui and shook her head. "I'll go instead. If you go, you'll get provoked and start arguing with people. If that disturbs the Marquis and the Princess, won't that just do her thing? I'll be right back."

Granny Gui thought about it and agreed: "Then you go."

So Granny Jin went out of the courtyard gate of Chunxie Courtyard and met Wang Xianrong.

At this moment, Wang Xianrong was waiting outside the courtyard with two maids. She was wearing a dark purple spring dress with twin lotus flowers embroidered on the front. Although it was not bright and lively in the moonlight, it was still elegant and dignified.

She doesn't look like a concubine working for the mistress; on the contrary, she is still the noble legitimate daughter of the Wang family.

"This servant greets Madam Wang." Granny Jin stepped forward and bowed.

"Granny Jin." Wang Xianrong nodded, composed and dignified, neither humble nor arrogant.

She said, "I accidentally broke one of the princess's teacups today. As requested by Consort Song, I have come to replace it with a new one."

"You're too kind, Aunt Wang. Just give it to me." Granny Jin reached out to ask for it.

Wang Xianrong did not give it to her, but said, "I wonder if I may personally give it to the princess so that she can see if she is satisfied. If she is not satisfied, I will give her another set."

Granny Jin said, "Thank you, Consort Wang, but the Marquis is having his meal in his room right now, and he has instructed that no one should disturb him. I'm afraid it's not convenient for the princess to see Consort Wang at this time."

"If Madam Wang wants to give it to the princess now, then give it to me. If you want to give it to the princess in person, then come again tomorrow."

Before Wang Xianrong could say anything more, Granny Jin said, "The princess is kind and never likes to argue with others, but the marquis is different. His hands are stained with blood. If he gets angry, even the princess might not be able to stop him."

The implication was that if Wang Xianrong dared to disturb Cheng Yan at this time and anger him, she would be asking for death.

Wang Xianrong's expression stiffened slightly. She seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "It would be fine for the nanny to pass it on, but my sister-in-law is having her birthday tomorrow, and I would like to go back to the Wang family. I would like to ask the princess for permission."

"This servant will convey the message. Consort Wang should go back and await the princess's instructions."

Granny Jin took a lacquer box painted with peonies, stood at the entrance of Chunxie Courtyard and watched Wang Xianrong leave with the help of her maid, then narrowed her eyes slightly.

When Granny Jin returned to the courtyard, she saw Cheng Yan walking out of the main room and striding towards the door.

She paused for a moment, then stepped aside and bowed.

After Cheng Yan left, Granny Jin handed the lacquer box to a maidservant and then walked towards the main hall.

At this moment, in the main hall, Qin Yi was sitting on a rose-covered armchair, resting. She seemed a little tired, and she reached up and rubbed her temples.

Lüqiao led the people to clear the table, while Granny Gui brought her a cup of tea.

Looking up, Qin Yizhen saw Granny Jin walk in and asked her, "Has Concubine Wang left?"

"I just left. I gave the tea set that was brought to the maid. If Your Highness would like to see it, you can have the maid bring it back tomorrow. Oh, by the way, Your Highness, Aunt Wang just said that tomorrow is her sister-in-law's birthday and she wants to go back to the Wang family. I hope Your Highness will allow her."

"She went back for her sister-in-law's birthday?" Granny Gui laughed, not believing the story at all. "I don't even know which lady's birthday it is. What kind of honor is it for a concubine's sister-in-law to go back?"

What kind of life did she give her sister-in-law? Doesn't she feel ashamed?

"I think she's probably anxious because she saw that the princess and the marquis have reconciled, and she wants to go back and discuss countermeasures with the Wang family."

Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao immediately became alert and suggested, "If that's the case, we definitely can't let her go back to the Wang family!"

"The relationship between the princess and the marquis has finally eased up a bit. What if something happens if she gets involved and stirs things up?"
