Chapter 32 Gifts(1/2)
Prince Jin'an took the tea from the maid and waved his hand.
The maid hurriedly withdrew.
"I can't sleep." He said, "Just go over there and take a look. You are writing and I won't disturb you."
Even if he didn't bother her, he should have told the little girl, but he wanted to find the piece of wood and didn't want others to know, so he didn't say anything.
"I just made it up on the spur of the moment." He continued, "I will definitely tell you next time."
In fact, there are only so many places in the mansion. If you don't tell me, you will find it when you ask. However, after the prince of Jin'an County came in, he continued to explain...
And I think the lady is not really looking for him. Maybe as she said, it's okay, I just want to ask you where you have been.
However, the people who heard the question from the lady's mouth thought differently.
The princess asked where the prince was.
The princess is looking for His Highness the County Prince.
Where is His Royal Highness?
Come to your Highness quickly.
The princess wants to see His Royal Highness immediately...
Banqin couldn't help but smile.
"Okay." Cheng Jiaoniang smiled and nodded, "I think if something happens, I can find you as soon as possible."
As expected, he was worried about himself.
Prince Jin'an felt very happy.
He remembered that since they met, she had always cared about him and helped him. His escape from death several times was all thanks to her.
Thinking about it this way, he was always embarrassed in front of her and always in danger.
It doesn't seem like something to be happy about.
It's hard for her to still dislike herself.
"It's useless for me to blame you for making you worried at home." He couldn't help but laugh and said.
"No, you are too useful, so you have to be more careful." Cheng Jiaoniang said, "If you were a useless person, no one would bother to harm you."
People are always only willing to spend time on worthy people, whether it is to treat them well or to harm them. It even takes more time to harm others than to love them.
The prince of Jin'an County laughed.
"So you are so good at complimenting others." He smiled.
Can a lady also praise others?
Banqin was a little confused and turned to look at Su Xin. Su Xin obviously understood and was smiling.
"Cheng Fang, Cheng Fang, come here." Prince Jin'an beckoned again and walked towards Dongci Room.
Cheng Jiaoniang followed.
Su Xin winked at Banqin, and the two of them turned around and retreated.
"...I just took a look and felt that the house I live in now is not very good. Why don't I rearrange it? Do you think I can make a partition here?"
The Prince of Jin'an County had already sat down in the east room, drawing on a few cases with a pen, and said with a beaming expression.
Cheng Jiaoniang heard this and sat next to him, leaning forward to look.
Under the bright sunlight, young men and women were smiling and talking, one was pretty and the other was handsome, which was really pleasing to the eye.
The smile on Su Xin's lips grew wider.
"I never knew that a lady could make people happy like this." She couldn't help but whisper.
Banqin gave her an angry look.
"A lady is always the most considerate of others," she said.
Precisely because she is considerate of others, the lady never speaks or advises, and allows others to come and go without knowing whether they are happy or sad.
It's just that not many people understand this kind of consideration.
"Only those who think she is good will understand how good she is." Suxin smiled and nodded Banqin's nose.
The two of them smiled and lifted the curtain and retreated to the corridor outside the door. They could hear the loud voice of Prince Jin'an in the room. Occasionally, they could hear Cheng Jiaoniang's reply once or twice, but this was enough for Prince Jin'an to continue talking enthusiastically.
.
At the same time, Mr. Chen's room was also busy with people talking and laughing.
"...Grandpa, there is also this, and this is also a reward from the Queen Mother."
Chen Danniang said, putting down the red agate string in her hand and opening another box.
Inside is a box full of fresh fruit snacks.
"...The third princess said that this was a new tribute, and they wanted to invite me to eat. I remembered what my mother and the others had taught me, and I didn't just accept all the invitations just because they were politely invited..."
"I didn't expect that the Queen Mother would also reward me with this."
Chen Danniang's clear voice echoed in the hall.
"Look, grandpa, there are crystal cakes."
Old Mrs. Chen listened with a smile and responded from time to time, "Isn't that great? Have you thanked the Queen Mother?"
"Thank you. I kowtowed and saluted seriously. After I came out, my sister praised me for making no mistakes." Chen Danniang said with a bit of excitement and joy.
"Our Dan Niang has learned so well, how could we make mistakes?" Mrs. Chen praised.
Chen Danniang was even more smiling, and the maid beside her hurriedly knelt down.
"Nineteenth lady, will you put these away?" she asked hurriedly.
Chen Danniang nodded with some satisfaction, watched the maid clean it up, and suddenly stretched out her hand to hold it down.
"Grandpa." She looked up at Old Mrs. Chen with some hesitation.
"You can do whatever you want with your things." Mr. Chen saw through her thoughts at a glance and said with a smile.
Chen Danniang immediately sat up happily.
"Then I will send some of these to Sister Cheng." She said, pointing to the box of snack fruits, "Sister Cheng likes to make snacks, and she must also like to eat them."
After saying this, he sighed again and frowned, looking funny and pitiful.
"I heard from my sister that the king of the county has angered the queen mother, and the queen mother does not allow them to enter the palace."
Old Mrs. Chen smiled.
"...Sister Cheng and the others won't care," he said.
The old servant beside him couldn't help but cough slightly.
Such words are a bit rebellious and unethical. Although it is said at home, it is still inappropriate to say it in front of children.
Old Mrs. Chen smiled and said nothing more.
"If you want to send it, just send it," he said.
Chen Danniang happily asked the maid to get the box, but suddenly she stopped and looked a little worried.
"But Grandpa, wouldn't this be bad?" she said, "If I give the Queen Mother's things to Sister Cheng, will she be unhappy?"
Old Mrs. Chen looked at her.
"The Queen Mother has given it to you, and it is yours." He said with a smile, "If you give your things to Sister Cheng, do you think she will be unhappy?"
Chen Danniang smiled.
"I'm glad!" she said, briskly starting to put them in the small box brought by the maid, carefully choosing, "This is good, this is good..."
Old Mrs. Chen looked at her with a smile, and after she finally made the choice after careful consideration, he asked the old servant to take his maid to send him off.
Watching the old servant leave, Chen Danniang was still excited.
"I wonder what delicious food Sister Cheng will give me?" she said.
Old Mrs. Chen laughed.
"After talking for a long time, you want a return gift from Sister Cheng." He pretended to be joking.
"That's what it should be." Chen Danniang said with a smile, "I'm good to Sister Cheng, and Sister Cheng will be good to me."
Mr. Chen nodded with a smile.
Chen Danniang suddenly sighed again.
"Grandpa, tell me, Sister Cheng used to be very pitiful." She said, "I have never seen stupid people before...it turns out that stupid people are like that..."
Even though he was a prince, the maids and maids treated him with a bit of contempt, and even stepped on him with their feet... Anyway, a fool doesn't know pain and humiliation, and he doesn't know how to say...
Sister Cheng had no identity at that time and was abandoned by her family. Her life would be even more pitiful...
A hand held her shoulder, she turned her head and saw a look of surprise on Old Mrs. Chen's face.
To be continued...
