Chapter 918: To please your sister-in-law
Tang Bao was unaware of her mother's conflicted mood, and ran happily to pick up Mrs. Xia and her daughter.
As soon as I ran to the gate of the yard, I found Shi Liu standing next to the carriage.
"Miss, the car is here!" Pomegranate shouted happily.
Nanny Zhang happened to walk over and frowned when she saw this.
However, seeing Tang Bao's happy face, Xuanyuan Jin followed behind Tang Bao and did not dare to say anything.
"Why so fast?" Tang Bao asked in surprise.
Shi Liu smiled and said, "His Highness the Third Prince has already ordered the carriage to be prepared."
As Tang Bao got into the car, she looked back at Xuanyuan Jin.
Xuanyuan Jin, however, looked disdainful of explaining.
Tang Bao giggled and said, "Brother must be worried that I would get tired walking around the mansion, so he thought of having someone drive a carriage to follow me from a distance. Whenever I get tired, I can get in the carriage and rest at any time. Brother, you are so kind!"
At the end, Tang Bao offered a flattery without hesitation.
Xuanyuan Jin snorted arrogantly.
"I'm glad you know!"
He originally wanted to ask someone to prepare a sedan chair, but thinking that Tang Bao didn't like riding in a sedan chair, he changed it to a horse carriage.
In fact, the mansions of wealthy families always have sedan chairs and horse-drawn carriages.
Even when moving around the mansion, he would occasionally ride in a sedan chair or a horse-drawn carriage.
Just as Shi Liu said, the garden of the princess's mansion alone is larger than the entire Daliushu Village.
In such a big mansion, relying on two feet all day long is not a pleasure, but a torture.
Tang Bao got on the carriage and found that Xuanyuan Jin had followed.
"I'm going back to the palace." Xuanyuan Jin said.
It's easy to imagine that the little girl definitely doesn't have time to accompany me today.
After hearing Xuanyuan Jin's words, Tang Bao immediately said, "That's good. I must accompany my godmother and Sister Siya to talk today. Maybe Sister Siya will stay here tonight..."
"So, what you mean is that I don't have to come back after I leave?" Xuanyuan Jin asked with a dark face.
When I heard yesterday that he was leaving, I looked reluctant.
Today, I really want him to leave as soon as possible...
He is indeed a heartless person!
When Tang Bao saw Xuanyuan Jin’s face turn dark, she naturally wouldn’t admit it.
"Of course not, I'm just worried that I don't have time to accompany my brother and that he'll be bored." Tang Bao lied with her eyes open, with a sincere expression: "It's just that, after all, godmother and sister Siya are guests, and we can't neglect them. On the contrary, my brother is family, so we don't have to worry about these things."
After hearing what Tang Bao said, Xuanyuan Jin's discomfort immediately disappeared.
"Well, you stay with your godmother and the others first. I will come again in two days and take you to the general's mansion." Xuanyuan Jin said.
As the old general's goddaughter, Tang Bao naturally had to visit the general's mansion.
This was originally part of Tang Bao's plan.
Tang Bao naturally nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry about the gifts, I will prepare them for you." Xuanyuan Jin said again.
"No need, brother, I've already prepared the gifts." Tang Bao said with a smile, "My parents prepared the gifts and brought them here before they came to Beijing."
Xuanyuan Jin didn't object after hearing what Tang Bao said.
No matter what gifts the Su family prepared, they were all thoughtful.
The two of them were talking and soon arrived at the gate.
Tang Bao got off the carriage and first instructed the steward of the outer courtyard who was standing by that in the future, when people from the Xia family came, there was no need to inform them and they could just welcome them in directly.
Then, she walked out of the door quickly, holding up her skirt and ran towards the Xia family's carriage.
"Godmother! Sister Siya!" Tang Bao shouted happily.
Xia Siya heard Tang Bao's voice in the carriage and quickly lifted the curtain.
"Sister Fuya!"
After saying that, he was about to jump off the carriage.
Tang Bao hurriedly said, "Sister Siya, don't come down, let's go in directly."
After saying that, he took Shi Liu's hand and got on the Xia family's carriage.
There was already a servant here, who had removed the threshold of the gate.
When Mrs. Xia saw this, she quickly said, "Since we're going through the main entrance, we must get off the car."
After all, there is a plaque bestowed by the emperor hanging on the lintel of the main gate.
Logically speaking, except for Tang Bao, the owner of the Princess Mansion, anyone with a lower rank than Tang Bao must enter through the side door when coming to Tang Bao's Princess Mansion.
Anyone who can make Tangbao open the door and welcome people in is definitely a distinguished guest.
Mrs. Xia is Tang Bao's godmother, so she is naturally a distinguished guest.
However, given her status, she did not dare to ride in a carriage and pass under the imperial plaque.
Tang Bao thought about it and realized that since it was her godmother’s first visit, even if she got out of the car and walked in, she had to enter through the main gate.
Even if I come again in the future, I can just take the car in through the side door.
So Tang Bao got on the Xia family's carriage, but got off again before she even sat down.
Madam Xia and Xia Siya also got off the carriage.
Xia Siya really wanted to give Tang Bao a bear hug to express her joy.
But when he saw the magnificent gate and the servants standing in line on both sides of the gate, he suppressed the thought.
After all, this happened outside and no one could see it, which would only bring shame to Sister Fu Ya.
What's more, her mother has forced her to learn so many rules in the past few months.
If she yelled and screamed, losing the manners of a lady, her mother would probably give her more homework when she got home.
Xia Siya was filled with regret and felt like she had a lot to say to her sister Fu Ya.
However, before she could speak, Xuanyuan Jin walked over.
Madam Xia quickly bowed to Xuanyuan Jin.
"Meet the Third Prince."
When Xia Siya saw this, she also bowed quickly.
Neither Mrs. Xia nor Xia Siya were surprised at seeing Xuanyuan Jin at the Princess's Mansion.
"Mrs. Xia is Tang Bao's elder, so there's no need to be so polite." Xuanyuan Jin said.
After saying this, he returned the greeting to Madam Xia.
Mrs. Xia was immediately flattered.
The Third Prince is now a very popular figure in the capital.
Even his own master is very optimistic about the Third Prince.
I think it is very likely that the Third Prince will compete for that position!
It was because of her goddaughter that the Third Prince treated her with such courtesy.
Xuanyuan Jin looked at Tang Bao and said, "I'm going back to the palace first."
"Okay, take care, brother." Tang Bao waved his hand without a trace of reluctance on his face.
Xuanyuan Jin: "..."
I just felt relieved, but now I feel a little uncomfortable again.
However, in front of Madam Xia and Xia Siya, he didn't say anything and turned around to get on his carriage.
The carriage rolled away, and Tang Bao felt a little reluctant to leave.
Xia Siya glanced at Xuanyuan Jin's carriage, leaned close to Tang Bao's ear, and whispered, "Sister Fuya, your brother is now a popular figure that all the ladies in the capital are fighting for."
After saying this, he chuckled and added with an optimistic expression, "If they knew that the Third Prince loved you so much, they would definitely try their best to please you, their sister-in-law!"
