Nanny Xin said, "I will also return to inform the princess so that she will not be worried about Madam Xu's illness. Miss Ren saved our princess's guest today, and the Yanbei Palace will remember her kindness."
After saying this, Nanny Xin also got off the carriage.
The Xu family's carriage had gradually driven out of the small street, and Nanny Xin also got on a carriage to return to the Yanbei Palace.
Ren Yaoqi ordered: "Go back to the Lin family."
Not long after Ren Yaoqi returned, the reward from Princess Yanbei arrived, and the one who brought the gift was Qiluo, another maidservant beside the princess.
Ren Shijia didn't dare neglect the people around the princess and immediately received them personally. The old lady of the Lin family and the eldest lady of the Lin family were alarmed and sent people to inquire about the matter.
The princess sent two sets of head ornaments. One was inlaid with red gold and eight treasures, in the style of Manchijiao. The head ornaments were inlaid with rubies, sapphires, beeswax, diamonds, and cat's eyes. Each one was extraordinary and so luxurious that the moment the box was opened, it almost dazzled everyone in the room.
The other set of headpieces is a more plain jade and pearl set. The jade is juicy and the pearls in pink, gold, white and black are plump and lustrous, of various sizes. At first glance, it looks ordinary and low-key, but those who know the goods can see the luxury.
Both sets of headgear are very novel in style and are currently popular in the south.
Qiluo didn't mention Ren Yaoqi's rescue of Madam Xu today. She just smiled and said, "The princess said these two sets of headgear were for Miss Ren San to wear when she attends the Thousand Gold Banquet. From the styles to the gems and pearls used, the princess personally selected them with the servants. Our princess also has two similar sets."
Ren Shijia, a connoisseur of value, felt that the headpiece given by Princess Yanbei was too valuable, and was undecided whether to let Ren Yaoqi accept it. He glanced at Ren Yaoqi, thought about it, and tentatively declined it on her behalf.
Qi Luo said, "Mrs. Lin, you don't know this, but our princess said she has always treated Third Miss Ren as her own daughter and loves her dearly. So she also wants to see Third Miss Ren dressed up beautifully, and she is also happy to see it."
After Qiluo said this, Ren Shijia couldn't say anything to refuse, so he gestured to Ren Yaoqi to accept it. He thanked him again and again.
Qiluo then smiled and said to Ren Yaoqi, "The Thousand Gold Banquet will be held the day after tomorrow. Miss, please rest well at home tomorrow. The palace will send a carriage to pick you up the day after tomorrow morning. You will go with our princess then."
Ren Yaoqi agreed with a smile and thanked the princess and the county lord.
Seeing that everything that needed to be explained had been explained, Qiluo said goodbye.
As soon as she left, Ren Shijia said to Ren Yaoqi happily, "Qi'er, the princess treats you so well that she even remembered to give you a portion of the headgear she gave to the princess."
A maidservant beside Madam Lin had not yet left. She glanced at the two jewelry boxes and said with a smile, "That's right. This is how you treat your own daughter. Third Miss Ren is truly blessed."
Ren Yaoqi is Ren Shijia's niece, and she likes to hear this, so the smile on her face becomes even bigger.
A nanny sent by Old Lady Lin thought further. She glanced at Ren Yaoqi and said with a smile, "Our Third Miss Ren is good-looking and has a good temperament. Who wouldn't like her? From what I see from the princess's attitude, I'm afraid that she doesn't treat the Third Miss as her daughter, but as..." She stopped talking here and just laughed meaningfully twice.
Although she didn't say it out loud, everyone understood it, and their eyes turned towards Ren Yaoqi with a subtle look.
