Chapter 1071: The Grand Duke Dingguo's Mansion

The old marquis's wife patted Wanwan's shoulder lovingly, her eyes constantly scanning her body.

"I never thought that our Wanwan would grow up to be so graceful and elegant. She is really beautiful."

"When I saw you eight years ago, you were still a little kid, but now you are really an icon."

Xiao reached out and touched Wanwan's hair, feeling a mixture of emotion in his heart.

The last time Wanwan left the Great Chu State, she left from the Duke Dingguo’s Mansion.

She seemed to still remember how reluctant she was at that time, but no one had expected that this time, they would be separated for eight years.

Wanwan knew that everyone in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion was worried about her. She smiled and looked at her grandmother in front of her, saying softly, "Don't worry, grandma. Wanwan is doing fine now. She has also learned a lot of skills!"

Seeing Wanwan like this, Xiao felt even more distressed.

She then held Wanwan in her arms and patted her back gently, as if telling her how much she had missed her over the years.

"My little baby, you must have suffered a lot in the outside world over the years. You must let your mother take good care of you in the future, and so should you."

Lu Xingwan snuggled in her grandmother's arms, feeling her love.

At this moment, in her heart, there was no such thing as the world of immortals, no such thing as mortals, and no such thing as evil cultivators.

All her worries vanished at this moment. At this moment, she was no longer a princess of the Great Chu Kingdom. She was just a granddaughter of her grandmother.

Just like this, a few people surrounded Wanwan and cared about her for a long time.

Next comes the very solemn gift-giving process.

Wanwan knew very well that whenever her grandmother and aunt came to the palace, they would definitely bring a lot of gifts.

But the scene in front of her still surprised her.

Following her grandmother's order, several maids from the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion carried four extremely large boxes from outside and entered the hall. Wanwan couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Not to mention the size of the box, just by looking at the maids struggling to carry the box, she knew that something must be inside.

At this time, Zhao, who was standing beside Wanwan, took a step forward and gently pinched Wanwan's open mouth.

"Don't be surprised, Wanwan. These four boxes are not all for you. There are also some for your mother."

Wanwan nodded, understanding.

As a royal concubine, my mother had to spend money a lot in the palace, so every time she entered the palace, my grandmother would bring a whole box of silver for her.

My mother refused at first, but later it was my aunt who came forward and talked about this matter.

My aunt said that nowadays, whether it was her or the Wei family, the reason why their business was so good outside was because of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion and the influence of the Imperial Concubine.

In this case, this money will be considered as a reward to the Imperial Concubine.

Although Song Qingyan still refused, she could not resist the persuasion of the entire Song family, and finally, Song Qingyan agreed to it.

Wanwan felt that what her aunt said made a lot of sense.

So later on, I privately advised my mother several times.

My mother gradually accepted it.

Mrs. Xiao had long been unable to contain her excitement. Not to mention other gifts, she had even carefully prepared a piece of clothing for Wanwan today.

She waved her hand and asked the maid beside her to open the box.

But as the maid opened the box, she felt that it would be better for her to do it herself, so she walked quickly towards the box.

On the top of the box, there is an exquisite brocade dress.

Wanwan followed her grandmother and supported her.

Although she didn't know what materials these clothes were made of, just by looking at the faint luster of the satin clothes, she could tell that they were definitely made of top-quality silk.

Even though it is daytime now, every evening I feel for some reason that moonlight seems to be flowing on the brocade.

Xiao gently picked up the clothes with both hands and handed it to Wanwan.

Wanwan hurriedly stepped forward and took the clothes.

Only then did I realize that the clothes were cool and smooth to the touch, and must indeed be made of top-quality material.

Yes, needless to say, everything my grandmother gave me was always excellent.

When handing the dress to Wanwan, Mrs. Xiao narrowed her eyes and looked at her: "In the past few years, I have made a dress for my dear Wanwan every year, hoping that one day you will come back and wear the dress made by your grandmother."

When she spoke, there seemed to be a hint of regret in Xiao's tone, and she didn't say much else.

What she regretted was not the clothes she had made.

It’s just a pity that Wanwan hasn’t come back for so many years, and she missed so many years of Wanwan’s time.

"But it was a coincidence that I had just finished embroidering this dress when you returned to the palace."

"It seems that this year, my daughter will be able to wear the clothes sewn by my grandmother."

Wanwan had already spread out the clothes and was looking at the appearance of the clothes.

As for clothes, Wanwan actually doesn’t like anything too fancy.

So now the clothes are mostly blank, but there are some beautiful orchids embroidered on the clothes.

Lifelike.

From the fine stitches and delicate embroidery, one can indeed see that my grandmother had a lot of affection for this dress.

Wanwan could even imagine her grandmother sitting on the couch and carefully sewing this dress for her.

She was quite touched.

After handing the clothes to Sister Jinxin, Wanwan went forward and held Grandmother's hand: "Grandmother, you are old now, you should also pay attention to protecting your eyes. You are not allowed to do this kind of work in the future."

Tong, who was standing by, also stepped forward to comfort Xiao: "Don't worry, Princess. This dress took your mother-in-law a long time to make, not just a few days, so it wasn't very laborious."

"But what the princess said is that the mother-in-law should not worry about this matter anymore in the future."

"Since I am Wanwan's aunt, I can do this."

Several people tried to comfort Xiao, and Wanwan smiled and said, "Why don't you wear the clothes that grandma brought to the palace banquet tonight?"

At this moment, Wei suddenly remembered something.

She slowly squatted down beside the box, rummaged around, and took out a jewelry box.

Without the help of a maid, she lifted the box by herself.

Then he opened the jewelry box.

Just at that moment, it seemed that light was shining on the colorful jewels, making them look quite eye-catching.

Lian Wanwan couldn't help but close her eyes.

Wei placed the box in front of Wanwan, and her voice was filled with anticipation: "This gem was found by my brother from my mother's family by chance when he went to sea in Southeast Asia."

"When I saw this gem, I thought it would be most appropriate to make it into a set of head ornaments and give it to our daughter Wanwan."

"I'm looking at this headdress now. It goes really well with the clothes my mother-in-law made. How about wearing it tonight and every night?"
