"Madam, please hold out your hand!" Doctor Nie walked to the bed and spoke politely!

But what was stretched out was not Yun Qianmeng's delicate hand, but a sealed letter!

Doctor Nie looked at the half-revealed letter through the curtain with some confusion, and did not reach out to take it. After all, he didn't know whether it was for himself or for Chu Feiyang!

Yun Qianmeng softly explained, "Could you please, Doctor Nie, take a look at the prescription in this letter and see if it's feasible?"

Hearing this, Doctor Nie glanced at Chu Feiyang beside him. Seeing him nod to him, he raised his arm to take the letter, tore open the seal, pulled out the letter inside and read it carefully!

However, the more he looked down, the more serious and cold Doctor Nie's expression became, and even his brows began to furrow!

Chu Feiyang stood beside him and watched his expression change, and gradually the answer came to his mind!

When Doctor Nie saw the last signature, his cold eyes widened slightly, as if filled with great surprise. The solemnity on his face suddenly changed slightly, and there was a look of doubt or confusion in his eyes. He was very surprised by this sudden letter, and was shocked by every word written in the letter. His eyes were fixed on the last word "Fei", and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time!

Chu Feiyang noticed his facial expressions and knew that it would be difficult for him to accept this matter without him being mentally prepared. So he did not urge Nie Huaiyuan to give an answer immediately, but just stood quietly aside, letting him digest the shock brought to him by the letter!

Yun Qianmeng also knew that this matter was indeed too shocking for Nie Huaiyuan, who was devoted to medical skills!

I'm afraid he never dreamed that he was just rescuing the patient with the spirit of saving the dying and healing the wounded, but he didn't expect to save the heart of the patient's daughter. Unfortunately, this woman was of noble status, which created countless gaps between the two of them. I'm afraid that the surprise and contradiction in Nie Huaiyuan's heart at this time are more intense than Qu Feiqing's!

"Doctor Nie, I wonder if this prescription will work?" After a while, Yun Qianmeng spoke slowly. Her gentle voice made Nie Huaiyuan's troubled heart feel as if it was gently brushed by a feather fan, bringing a ray of warm breeze, which calmed his anxious mood for a while!

However, he didn't know whether Qu Feiqing wrote this letter on a whim or after careful consideration!

But no matter which one it was, it was too shocking and surprising for him. He seemed to have no reason to refuse, but even less reason to accept!

"Does it need to be brought back to Rongshan Hall for a thorough study?" Seeing that Nie Huaiyuan still didn't answer her, Yun Qianmeng spoke again!

Indeed, this matter was too sudden, and anyone would be at a loss! Moreover, Qu Feiqing and Nie Huaiyuan were indeed very different in status. Although he agreed with Qu Feiqing's pursuit of her own happiness, in such an environment, how could happiness be a matter for only two people?

Moreover, judging from Nie Huaiyuan's reaction at this moment, I'm afraid he is thinking about much more than Qu Feiqing is thinking about at this moment!

"Madam, this prescription is too strong, I'm afraid it's not suitable!" At this moment, Nie Huaiyuan suddenly spoke up, expressing his thoughts and decision with a hint of determination!

Hearing this, Chu Feiyang's calm pupils shrank slightly, but he never spoke, just silently waiting for Nie Huaiyuan's explanation!

Yun Qianmeng, who was behind the curtain, felt that his answer was both reasonable and unexpected. She was afraid that her cousin hiding in the inner room had never thought that Nie Huaiyuan would reject her after some thought!

"Young Doctor Nie, have you read this prescription carefully? Every herb here seems ordinary but is extremely precious. Please don't mistake pearls for fish eyes, or it will be too late to regret it then!" Yun Qianmeng knew that Qu Feiqing must find it difficult to accept Nie Huaiyuan's decision at this time, so she tried her best to fight for her, hoping that Nie Huaiyuan could see Qu Feiqing's true heart!

But Nie Huaiyuan shook his head at the curtain, his eyes fixed on the beautiful small characters on the rice paper. He spoke seriously but with a hint of melancholy, "Madam, I understand what you said! However, it is precisely because every herb here is an incomparably precious treasure that I dare not touch it lightly! Nie Huaiyuan is just a small city doctor. In this life, I only hope to relieve the pain of my patients. The medicines I use are also the most common and common herbs. Such a precious prescription is not something that ordinary people can afford. Please take it back, Madam!"

After saying that, Nie Huaiyuan folded the unfolded letter paper, carefully placed it in the envelope, and reached out to return it to Chu Feiyang, but the other party stood by the bed with a gloomy face. He did not immediately reach out to take it, but seemed to be waiting for Yun Qianmeng behind the curtain to speak!

"Then may I ask, Doctor Nie, is it because it is too precious that you dare not touch or accept it, or is it because you do not like this prescription that you made such a conclusion?" Although Yun Qianmeng did not see everything that happened outside, she heard some clues from the subtle sound of folding paper. She was afraid that Nie Huaiyuan was about to return the letter at this time!

I couldn't help but sigh for Qu Feiqing in my heart. This cousin could fall in love with anyone else, but she fell in love with Nie Huaiyuan, who was only interested in medical skills and patients!

Nie Huaiyuan's clear rejection this time probably means that he really has no love in his heart. Even if Qu Feiqing forces herself to marry him, I'm afraid the two of them will still have a long way to go to get along in the future!

However, Nie Huaiyuan did not expect Yun Qianmeng to ask such a question. His expression was slightly startled, and then his brows frowned. He couldn't help but lower his head and ponder. It seemed that this question was very tricky and difficult to answer!

After a long pause, his question was finally heard in the quiet inner room: "Madam, is this question so important?"

Nie Huaiyuan couldn't understand why Yun Qianmeng asked such a question even though he had already refused. It seemed a bit unnecessary!

Yun Qianmeng, however, smiled calmly behind the curtain and then slowly spoke, "This is a very important question! It essentially allows me to discern your true inner thoughts at this moment. I hope Doctor Nie can answer me truthfully!"

Even though he couldn't do much for Qu Feiqing, he would at least do his best for her. Even if Nie Huaiyuan rejected him, he would let Qu Feiqing understand the real reason for his refusal!

Listening to Yun Qianmeng's gentle yet firm tone, and seeing Chu Feiyang's eyes flashing with support for Yun Qianmeng, Nie Huaiyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and slowly said, "Madam, the herbs in this prescription are extremely precious. They are neither affordable for ordinary people nor for ordinary doctors like me! This is the first point! The second point is that this prescription may seem mild, but it is extremely dangerous to use. The slightest mistake can cost lives. Although Nie Huaiyuan is just an ordinary citizen, he is also a doctor. Naturally, he cannot bear to see anyone die because of taking the medicine in this prescription! As for the third point, although Nie Huaiyuan cannot be said to be an expert in medicine, he has never seen such a prescription before, and he never thought that one day he would be able to prepare such a pill! This is my answer. I wonder if you are satisfied, Madam?"

Such an answer not only exceeded Yun Qianmeng's understanding of Nie Huaiyuan, but even Chu Feiyang was slightly shocked at this moment. He didn't expect that during the days he and Nie Huaiyuan got along in Luocheng, he always thought that Nie Huaiyuan was just a medical idiot who only buried himself in medical skills and medicinal materials, and had no perception of anything in the outside world!

But now it seems that it's not that he didn't have insights, but because his insights were too deep, he no longer touched them, hid his views and thoughts about the outside world, and only studied those medicinal books!

However, when encountering problems, Nie Huaiyuan did not dodge or avoid them, but faced them seriously and cautiously!

As for Yun Qianmeng's current identity, the fact that Nie Huaiyuan was able to reject Qu Feiqing in front of her also shows that he is not a person who curries favor with the powerful!

In addition, his refusal just now was clear and reasonable, which showed that Nie Huaiyuan was thoughtful. No wonder he was able to develop prescriptions for many difficult and complicated diseases. Without firm beliefs and meticulous care, he would not be able to persist in this boring job!

'Bang!' At this moment, the sound of broken porcelain came from the inner room!

Yun Qianmeng frowned suddenly, probably because Qu Feiqing lost control of her emotions after hearing such an answer!

Nie Huaiyuan, who was standing in front of the bed, looked up and glanced at the inner room with a curtain hanging on the door. Although he felt apologetic in his heart, he did not regret every word he had just said!

The inner room suddenly fell into silence. After a while, the door curtain was slightly opened, and Yuan Dong came out. When he saw Chu Feiyang and Nie Huaiyuan, he immediately bowed, then quietly came to the bed and put the folded letter in his hand into the bed!

Yun Qianmeng looked at the round drop of water on the letter and knew that it must be the tears that Qu Feiqing couldn't help but shed while folding the letter. She couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her. She quickly opened the letter and glanced at it. Her heart was suddenly filled with mixed emotions. She clenched the hand holding the letter slightly. After a while, she slowly said, "Thank you for today, Doctor Nie! My cold is not a serious matter. Thank you for making this trip, Doctor Nie!"

Hearing Yun Qianmeng say this, Nie Huaiyuan couldn't help but let go of the worry in his heart!

Although Chu Feiyang saw that he looked calm and steady just now, Nie Huaiyuan knew in his heart that with Qu Feiqing's status, it was not impossible for her to be forced to marry him!

But he really had no intention of getting married, which would surely cause conflicts between the two mansions. He was afraid that the friendship between the Nie Mansion and the Fuguogong Mansion would be ruined in his hands!

Therefore, when Nie Huaiyuan heard Yun Qianmeng's tone at this moment, the anger he had been holding in his heart finally dissipated!

Seeing that his expression suddenly relaxed, Chu Feiyang walked to his side, raised his right hand and gently patted his shoulder, and the two of them walked out of Mengxin Cottage together!

"Miss, Doctor Nie is gone!" Seeing them walking away, Mu Chun reminded them and handed the envelope that the Prime Minister had just handed to her to Yun Qianmeng!

Yun Qianmeng immediately opened the curtain, put on her embroidered shoes and walked quickly to the inner room. She saw Qu Feiqing leaning on the armchair, with the hem of her skirt damp. Although the nearby carpet had been cleaned, the water stains were still visible. Yun Qianmeng knew that Qu Feiqing must have broken the teacup because of her emotional instability after hearing Nie Huaiyuan's rejection!

At this time, Qu Feiqing's face turned slightly inward, her right hand holding the silk was pressed tightly against her lips, and her left hand hanging on her knees had already been clenched into a fist. The slightly trembling hand invisibly revealed her excited yet sad expression at the moment!

Yun Qianmeng raised a hand, signaling the maids behind her to leave, leaving herself and Qu Feiqing alone in the inner room. Then she slowly walked towards her, not leaning over to look at Qu Feiqing crying silently. Instead, she gently placed her hands on Qu Feiqing's shoulders, carefully supporting her upper body and slowly leaning her into her arms. Her arms wrapped around her shivering and cold body with warmth, and she spoke softly, "Cousin, if you feel sad, just cry! Vent the pain in your heart, and everything will be over!"

After she finished speaking, Yun Qianmeng felt her waist tighten, and a suppressed whimper suddenly came from her arms. Looking down, she saw Qu Feiqing holding her with all her strength, with her whole face buried in her arms, crying softly with her body trembling!

A feeling of sadness suddenly surged into Yun Qianmeng's heart. She couldn't help but raise her right hand to gently stroke Qu Feiqing's black hair. She sighed in her heart. What kind of education was this that made Qu Feiqing suppress the pain in her heart even though her heart was broken. Even crying, she couldn't vent it freely!

Yun Qianmeng stroked Qu Feiqing's hair gently with a hint of tenderness. She knew that it was useless to say anything at this moment, so she just stayed with her quietly!

"Meng'er, am I not good enough?" After a long time, Qu Feiqing's emotions finally calmed down a little. Perhaps it was just as Yun Qianmeng said, after the pain accumulated in her heart was vented through tears, her whole heart really didn't hurt as much as before. As long as she didn't think about Nie Huaiyuan's rejection at that time, her heart wouldn't feel like it was being cut by a knife!

Seeing that Qu Feiqing had gradually stopped crying, Yun Qianmeng let her go. Looking at Qu Feiqing, whose face was pale and eyes were red, Yun Qianmeng took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from her eyes. After a while, she slowly said, "It's not that she's not good, but that she's too good. He can't afford her!"

Not to mention that the current empress dowager is Qu Feiqing's aunt. Even if there is no empress dowager, the status of the Fuguo Mansion in Western Chu, the position of the eldest uncle as a marquis, and the position of the cousin as a minister are not something Nie Huaiyuan can compare with!

However, Nie Huaiyuan always maintained a calm and clear mind. Although he was favored by a gifted girl like Qu Feiqing, he did not show any pampering to her. He analyzed the whole matter calmly from beginning to end, which was really admirable!

"But I also mentioned in my letter that I was willing to give up my current status and position. Why did he reject me so clearly?" This was the first time in her life that Qu Feiqing fell in love with someone. After being rejected, she felt very complicated and uncomfortable. When she saw the resourceful Yun Qianmeng, she was unwilling to let go as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw!

Yun Qianmeng looked at the pair of delicate hands tightly gripping her arm, raised her other hand and gently patted hers, then smiled faintly, "He just said that your prescription may seem mild, but it's extremely dangerous to use. A single mistake could cost lives! Cousin, even if my cousin wants to see you happy, even if my grandmother and uncle are on your side, there are still many people who can't bear to see you escape their control! There are also many who dislike the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion and are waiting for this perfect opportunity to wipe them out!"

But after hearing all this, Qu Feiqing just smiled bitterly and shed a tear. After a while, she said lightly, "Meng'er, you and I were both wrong! These are just excuses! His last words are what he really wanted to say! It's just that flowers have feelings but flowing water is ruthless! Although I care about him, he has always been ruthless to me! You don't have to comfort me anymore! With his words, I know what's going on. I will never pester him again!"

As she spoke, Qu Feiqing raised her hand and gently wiped away the tear from the corner of her eye. Although her expression still showed a hint of loss, her eyes seemed to have made up her mind and no longer contained any extravagant hopes or fantasies!

Looking at Qu Feiqing who was pretending to be strong, Yun Qianmeng frowned slightly, then took Qu Feiqing's hands and said with a hint of worry, "Cousin, you..."

Seeing Yun Qianmeng looking worried about her, Qu Feiqing couldn't help but chuckle. Her heart was warmed by the fact that someone still cared about her so much. She even held Yun Qianmeng's hand and said with a faint smile, "Silly girl, you'll be fine after crying! You don't have to worry! Now that I know his attitude towards me, why should I be stubborn anymore? Otherwise, I'm afraid more than just me will get hurt! Besides, since he and I have no fate, then Big Brother doesn't have to worry about me anymore, let alone sacrifice his own happiness for my sake. If you think about it this way, Meng'er, this is not a bad thing!"

Seeing Qu Feiqing's relaxed smile, Yun Qianmeng's brows finally furrowed. She looked at Qu Feiqing with confusion, doubt and worry in her eyes, fearing that this usually weak cousin would be upset after returning!

With a slightly cool fingertip, Qu Feiqing gently tapped Yun Qianmeng's forehead and chuckled, "Silly girl, I'm really fine! I feel a little relieved now. I don't have to speculate about his attitude towards me day and night. Instead, I feel a lot more relaxed! But today was really embarrassing. Fortunately, I listened to you and hid in the back room. Otherwise, if I meet him in the future, wouldn't it be embarrassing?"

Seeing that Qu Feiqing had indeed regained her former vitality in her words, Yun Qianmeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She then ordered the maids outside to prepare toiletries and asked Qu Feiqing to tidy up!

However, looking at her red eyes, Yun Qianmeng still felt that this was not a solution, so she tried to persuade her to stay, "Cousin, please stay at the Prime Minister's residence tonight! Otherwise, if my grandmother and aunt see us, won't they be suspicious?"

Qu Feiqing lowered her head and approached the copper basin. She scooped up a handful of warm water with both hands and gently washed the tears from her face. Then she took the handkerchief from Le Yao's hand and gently wiped it dry. Then she said, "Grandmother and mother have already rested. I will let Le Yao go and report that they are safe. I won't bother you anymore!"

As she spoke, Le Yao had already taken out a small porcelain box from her purse, opened the lid, and used her fingertips to pick out some white milky cream. Then she gently applied it on Qu Feiqing's face and spread it carefully. Then she took out a bronze mirror and held it in front of Qu Feiqing, asking her to check her appearance again!

Seeing her refusal, Yun Qianmeng stopped trying to persuade her to stay. A faint sigh escaped from his lips, and he immediately reminded her, "Maybe he will come to the palace to claim his reward at the New Year's Eve banquet tomorrow night!"

Regardless of whether Qu Feiqing had truly let it go or was just pretending to, Yun Qianmeng felt it necessary to remind her, lest she be caught off guard and be discovered by others!

Hearing Yun Qianmeng's reminder, Qu Feiqing paused for a moment before softly saying "Hmm!"

Although it was just a subtle movement, it still caught Yun Qianmeng's attention!

But this time, Yun Qianmeng did not say anything more. After all, everyone has a corner in their heart that cannot be touched by outsiders. If she opened her mouth again, wouldn’t it tear open the bloody pain in Qu Feiqing’s heart!

I just believe that as time goes by, the wound in her heart will scab over and fall off!

"I'll go back first. You should get some rest early too! My affairs have affected your and Prime Minister Chu's rest!" Qu Feiqing asked Le Yao to get her cloak, stood up and spoke with a faint smile!

Yun Qianmeng handed the letter back to Qu Feiqing, and smiled as she sent her out of Prime Minister Chu's residence. She then returned to Mengxin Cottage, only to find that Chu Feiyang had returned to the inner room at some point, and was now lying on the bed, looking at the book she had just read!

After waving his hand to let the maids retreat, Yun Qianmeng took off her coat and lay down on the bed, but she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. She could only stare blankly at the embroidered tent ceiling with her eyes wide open!

"What's wrong with Meng'er? You can't sleep at all!" Her slender arms were held, and then her whole body fell into a warm chest. Chu Feiyang's gentle questioning voice sounded in her ears!

But Yun Qianmeng just shook his head and didn't say anything!

However, those small hands took the initiative to hug Chu Feiyang's waist, tightly holding his white satin inner garment and refusing to let go!

Looking at everything that happened tonight, Yun Qianmeng knew that Qu Feiqing had not really let it go. She was afraid that she would have to be sad for a while before she could be truly happy!

Thinking about all this, Yun Qianmeng couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, Chu Feiyang and herself finally fell in love with each other, otherwise wouldn't they have become a couple of enemies?

Such good luck makes Yun Qianmeng cherish the person in front of her even more, and she will not give him to anyone else!

Seeing Yun Qianmeng's childlike behavior today, Chu Feiyang couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly. The hand holding her slender waist pulled her into his arms more forcefully, while the other hand gently patted her back and whispered, "Go to sleep. Tomorrow's palace banquet is going to be tiring!"

Hearing him say this, Yun Qianmeng wanted to ask, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart, so she buried her head in his chest and slowly closed her eyes. Under his gentle patting, she fell into a dream in a short while!

Chu Feiyang felt that even in her sleep, she was still holding him tightly. His mood suddenly improved, and he closed his eyes as well!

The next morning, when Yun Qianmeng opened her eyes, Chu Feiyang was no longer by her side. She touched the seat next to her and felt the bedding was already cold. She must have gotten up and gone to the palace to attend court before daybreak!

She called Mu Chun and others to serve her. Because she was going to the palace for a banquet in the evening, Yun Qianmeng chose a winter outfit made of light orange palace satin to wear today. She also changed the hairpin on her head to a more festive Wannian Jiqing hairpin because it was New Year's Eve. Her outfit was a little plain compared to the formal attire of the ladies in Kyoto, but it perfectly set off Yun Qianmeng's cool temperament, which complemented each other and made the maids stunned!

"Madam, the second lady and the young lady are here!" At this time, Aunt Mi walked in quickly and reported in a low voice!

Hearing this, the maids looked at each other, wondering why the second lady and the young lady came here?

They will be leaving for the palace soon. I really don’t understand why they are coming here at this time. In the eyes of outsiders, it seems a bit unnecessary!

Yun Qianmeng glanced at the maids calmly, a doting smile in her eyes, and then ordered, "Miss Mi, ask them to go to Wangmingxuan for a while, I will be there soon!"

"Yes!" Aunt Mi was an old nanny after all. Even though she didn't like the Second Madam and Chu Jie very much in her heart, she didn't show it on her face, lest others see it and cause trouble for the young lady!

When the maids saw Yun Qianmeng was about to go out, they immediately took out the cloak they had prepared in the morning and put it on her. They carefully helped Yun Qianmeng out of Mengxin Cottage!

As soon as he stepped out of the main house, Yun Qianmeng looked up at the sky today. He felt that the sky was a little gloomy. The temperature outside was low and there was a slight chill in the wind. He was afraid that it was going to snow again!

"Miss, why bother making an extra trip? Just ask Aunt Mi to bring them here! You're letting Miss suffer from the cold!" Mu Chun gathered the cloak in front of Yun Qianmeng to prevent the cold wind from getting in through the cloak. However, she felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of Xie Wanwan and Xie Yuanyuan. She felt that the Second Madam's attitude towards the Miss was really too enthusiastic, as if she was planning something!

Seeing Mu Chun so worried, Yun Qianmeng just smiled faintly, with the dimples at the corners of her mouth faintly visible, so beautiful that it made people admire!

"You're almost becoming a housekeeper!" How could Yun Qianmeng not know what Xie was planning? But Xie's generation was higher, and with her grandfather's relationship, Yun Qianmeng could not give Xie face, but she still had to consider grandfather's face! Especially since Chu Pei's family all lived in the Prince Chu's Mansion. If she broke off relations with Xie, I'm afraid the only ones who would be in trouble would be grandfather and Chu Feiyang!

"When we get to Wangmingxuan later, you are not allowed to look scared! Otherwise, your red envelopes for tonight will be confiscated!" Walking towards Wangmingxuan with very steady steps, Yun Qianmeng whispered instructions to the four girls behind her!

"Ah? No way, miss!" The four girls spoke in unison, their voices filled with pleading and misery, but it made Yun Qianmeng's mood improve for a moment!

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they turned and walked into Wangmingxuan, which was located in the southwest of Prime Minister Chu's Mansion. This was not a courtyard specially for receiving guests, but it was closest to the gate of Prime Minister Chu's Mansion. Yun Qianmeng arranged for Aunt Mi to invite Xie and Chu Jie over!

"Sorry, I'm late!" Yun Qianmeng smiled and spoke as soon as the maid outside lifted the thick door curtain. She then stepped into the main room of Wangmingxuan and bowed to Xie. "Greetings, Second Madam!"

Xie was chatting with Chu Jie when she saw Yun Qianmeng walk in with a chill in her air. She immediately went forward and pulled her to sit down. She placed her warm hands on Yun Qianmeng's and said with concern, "We're family, no need to be so polite! It was our fault today. We should have gone directly to the palace, but Jie'er insisted on going to the palace with her sister-in-law, so we came uninvited. You've been running around so much!"

When Chu Jie heard her mother's complaints about her, she immediately ran to Xie's side, hugged Xie's body and said coquettishly, "What are you talking about, mother? Jie'er just likes sister-in-law!"

Seeing the deep bond between mother and daughter, Yun Qianmeng smiled too. Taking advantage of Mu Chun bringing the teacup, she unobtrusively pulled her hand away and said softly, "I was just worried I couldn't invite Second Mother and Sister! It just so happens I'm getting bored on the road, so having Second Mother and Sister to accompany me would be great! But why aren't my two cousins ​​here?"

The reason why Xie went to so much trouble to come to Prime Minister Chu's residence and accompany me was so that she could get to know the ladies in Kyoto through me!

After all, although Chu Pei has a father who is the King of Chu and a son who is the Prime Minister of Chu, he has been away from the capital for many years, and the personnel and things in the capital have undergone earth-shaking changes. I am afraid that if he wants to integrate into the aristocratic circle of the capital, without anyone to guide him, he will probably get half the result with twice the effort!

"They're staying in the palace to celebrate the New Year!" Seeing Yun Qianmeng asking about Xie Wanwan and her sister, Xie replied with a faint smile. Then she turned her attention to Chu Jie. Seeing her lively and restless appearance, she couldn't help but frown and said, "Jie'er, don't be so presumptuous! Sit down quickly!"

Hearing this, Yun Qianmeng turned her gaze to Chu Jie. She was wearing a peach pink winter outfit with a few eight-treasure glass jade hairpins in her hair, which made her little face even sweeter!

Especially the bright color that sets off her exquisite figure to perfection, she really looks like the shy and fragile beauty of ancient times!

On the other hand, Xie was also dressed in gorgeous clothes today. Compared with Chu Jie's beauty, Xie had a more mature charm. The golden hairpin on her head trembled slightly as she turned her head, which really added a touch of noble lady's flavor!

It seems that both of them put a lot of effort and thought into their outfits today!

"Madam, it's getting late. The carriage is ready. Please get in, Madam, Second Madam, and Miss!" At this time, Nanny Shangguan, who was busy outside, walked in. She spoke respectfully and politely reminded all the masters!

Yun Qianmeng nodded, then stood up together with Xie and Chu Jie, and walked slowly towards the main gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Because Xie and Chu Jie were the new guests, Nanny Shangguan prepared an extra carriage for the maids to sit in at the back!

After everyone got into the carriage, the driver whipped the horse carefully...

"Mom, look, even the restaurants and inns in Kyoto are hung with red lanterns, it looks so festive!" Tonight is New Year's Eve, and there are no vendors or passers-by on the long street. Everyone is staying at home to celebrate the New Year with their families, so it is not very lively. However, the long street is decorated very festively, no wonder Chu Jie likes it!

Yun Qianmeng even heard happy chatter coming from the carriage behind. She was afraid that Mu Chun and the other little girls were also very happy!

"Sister, you haven't seen the crowded scene on the night of the Qiqiao Festival! That was spectacular! There were so many people that you couldn't even take a step. It was really fun!" Seeing Chu Jie so happy, Yun Qianmeng smiled and spoke!

Chu Jie's interest piqued upon hearing Yun Qianmeng's words. She stopped looking at the deserted street outside and asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, is it really that fun? When I was in Youzhou, my father and mother wouldn't let me go out. I stayed at home all day. It was so boring!"

"When has your sister-in-law ever lied to you? On the night of the Qiqiao Festival, there are lantern riddles, a cruise on the Ludai River, and oh, by the way, there is also a hairpin-grabbing competition. I guarantee you will be dazzled and have a great time!" Seeing Chu Jie's drooping face, Yun Qianmeng smiled and recounted the excitement of the Qiqiao Festival that night, her face immersed in memories!

When Chu Jie heard her say this, and seeing Yun Qianmeng's expression, all her curiosity was piqued. She immediately said happily, "Oh, next year I must celebrate the Qiqiao Festival with my sister-in-law. Youzhou is so boring. My brother is busy studying, and my two cousins ​​are busy..."

"Jie'er!" At this time, Xie suddenly spoke. She smiled and pulled Chu Jie to sit down. She carefully arranged the purse hanging on her waist for her. Then she looked at Yun Qianmeng helplessly, as if she was in a headache. "I really don't know what to do with her! I always thought that Wanwan and Yuanyuan were quiet and that she would become calmer around them. But she has become more and more naughty over the years! Don't you think that your eldest brother is so talented in both literature and martial arts? If your second brother is a dandy, wouldn't it be a disgrace to your eldest brother? Wanwan and Yuanyuan are quiet girls. If they are not busy learning housework on weekdays, do they jump around like a little monkey like you? Besides, your sister-in-law might have a good thing during the Qiqiao Festival next year. Then, you are not allowed to make trouble for your sister-in-law, otherwise, mother will not forgive you!"

Yun Qianmeng listened to Xie's reproach to Chu Jie with a smile on her face from beginning to end. After all, she had already gotten the answer she wanted, so there was no need for her to speak any more!

"Mom, what good news is there from my sister-in-law?" Chu Jie was an unmarried girl after all, so she didn't understand Xie's hint, so she asked directly!

However, Xie tapped her forehead and said helplessly, "Shameless! Is this something you can ask? However, by this time next year, you might be an aunt!"

Even though Chu Jie had never experienced sex before, she immediately understood what was going on. She looked at Yun Qianmeng with a smile in her eyes and asked anxiously, "Is sister-in-law pregnant?"

Seeing that Xie had diverted Chu Jie's attention with just a few words, Yun Qianmeng smiled and shook her head, saying softly, "How could it be so fast? Second Mother is just too impatient!"

But as soon as she said this, Xie immediately spoke up, "It's not just Second Madam, your father-in-law is worried too! After all, you are the young mistress of the Chu family, and Qingyang is still young. Naturally, the prince and your father-in-law are placing all their hopes on you!"

Listening to Xie's words, Yun Qianmeng couldn't help but sneer in her heart!

If she said that Prince Chu was anxious, she would naturally believe it!

But if Chu Pei is anxious to hold the grandson born to him by Chu Feiyang, this is a big question mark!

Moreover, Xie had only been in Kyoto for three days when she started staring at her belly. Was she trying to put pressure on herself or had other motives? Or perhaps both were her purposes for saying this? This is something worth investigating!

"It seems to be snowing outside!" A corner of the car curtain was accidentally lifted by the wind. Yun Qianmeng glanced at the increasingly dark weather outside and found that it had been snowing outside since she didn't know when. Looking at the white snowflakes as light as goose feathers slowly falling, it was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it!

After hearing her exclamation, Xie and Chu Jie lifted the car curtain and looked out. It was indeed snowing, which made Chu Jie, who had lived in the south since childhood and had never seen snow, even happier. Her sweet big eyes were fixed on the snowflakes outside, and she even stretched out her right hand to catch the snowflakes to play with them, regardless of Xie's obstruction!

"Madam, we'll be at the palace soon!" The coachman reminded the people in the car. Xie immediately pulled Chu Jie's hand in to avoid being seen and bringing shame to the Chu Palace!

At this time, the carriage slowly stopped, and the body of the carriage shook slightly, and then the voices of the guards were heard outside. The coachman must have jumped off the carriage to explain which family the woman belonged to, and by the way, he took out the badges of the Chu Prime Minister's Mansion and the Chu Prince's Mansion on his waist for the guards to check!

After a while, the carriage sank again, and the wheels slowly began to roll. It was obvious that the carriage had passed the inspection and was heading towards the inner palace...

As complicated as ever, after getting off the carriage, the three of them got into three sedan chairs one after another and walked towards a side hall next to the imperial garden!

The three of them walked out of the sedan chair and entered the side hall under the guidance of the palace maids. At this time, many women from official families had already come to the side hall. They sat aside and chatted and laughed. The lively scene formed a sharp contrast with the cold weather outside!

"Meng'er!" As soon as she stepped into the side hall, she heard someone calling her name not far away. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ji Shuyu and Qu Feiqing sitting by the window and smiling at her!

Yun Qianmeng smiled back and walked over with Xie and Chu Jie!

"Meng'er greets auntie! I haven't seen you for a long time. How is your health?" Yun Qianmeng bowed to Ji Shuyu and then greeted her sweetly!

"Let my aunt see it!" Ji Shuyu had long regarded Yun Qianmeng as her own child. Now that her child was getting married, how could she not worry? Only if she truly regarded Yun Qianmeng as her own child would she pay attention to her the moment they met.
