The next day.
It was the first sunny day after the snow, and the sky was particularly clear. An Qingran took a deep breath of the cold air. The coolness went straight into her lungs, making her sneeze comfortably.
Honeysuckle was busy putting a sable fur cape on her, but An Qingran put her hand out to block it: "I'm not cold, this is good!"
With a smile in her eyes, she looked again at the place where she had lived since childhood. She found that she seemed to have never looked at it carefully. Now it seemed that the general's mansion was not big, at least not as big as she remembered.
This house was a reward from the Emperor because her father was brave and good at fighting, protecting his country and making great contributions to the stability of Dongze. But when her father was wise and powerful, he could never have imagined that his own daughter might eventually become the Queen but she refused. Of course, he had more than one good daughter!
Thinking of this, she sighed. She finally saw her again last night. She thought she would not be able to control herself, but she did not expect that she could still laugh in front of that face!
Not only did he laugh, but he also agreed to her request!
Now, she is about to go to the East Warm Pavilion. As for whether he will plead for her or not?
She smiled even more brightly.
Matron Hong was directing the maids to sweep the snow at the gate. When she saw her coming in, she hurried over with a smile and said, "Young Miss, why are you here to see Madam so early?"
An Qingran pointed to the house. Before she could speak, Madam Hong said, "Madam has woken up early. The general has already gone to court. Please go in!"
An Qingran pushed the door open, and the room was still filled with the familiar scent of lilies.
"Is it Ran'er?"
A gentle voice came from the inner room.
An Qingran walked in and saw her mother sitting in front of the mirror. She had just put down the rouge in her hand and seemed a little embarrassed.
An Qingran smiled and came forward, picking up the finest jasmine scented powder: "This matches mother's complexion. Add this rouge from Qizhenzhai, and mother will look like she's eighteen years old..."
Lian Jinyu frowned: "You little idiot, you don't know..."
After she finished speaking, she smiled, reached out and touched her forehead, her eyes full of kindness.
An Qingran smiled. She looked at the simple items on her mother's dressing table and shook her head. "Mother, you should prepare some more. These are too few. Also, the lily scent is really rare. It's time to change the scent. I remember that Dad likes the scent of osmanthus. Why don't you let Madam Hong go out and buy some later? How about that?"
As soon as An Qingran came in, she saw the bunch of keys on the table. She knew that her father had decided to hand over the housekeeping rights to her mother. However, from her mother's look, she didn't really plan to take over, otherwise she wouldn't have left the keys here. However, from her mother's expression, although she didn't forgive him completely, it was obvious that the iceberg in her heart had begun to melt!
Lian Jinyu said, "You are so old now, what are you still buying for?"
Looking at her mother's youthful face, she smiled: "Mother, listen to me, I'll talk to Madam Hong later. Also, mother, you should make a few more sets of clothes, in brighter colors, and two more sets of jewelry. It would be best if they were from Qizhenzhai. Their items are grand, well-made, and have new styles, and the quality is also good..."
"How do you know all this?" Lian Jinyu looked at her with surprise in her eyes, which slowly turned into a smile. She shook her head and said, "Oh, Ran'er has grown up. Are you preparing for the dowry?"
An Qingran was stunned when she heard this. Dowry? Who was she marrying? The King Kang?
