In order to let Old Lady Qin take a good look at her eldest granddaughter whom she had not seen for a long time, Qin Yanning specially wore a turquoise dress.
In the original owner's memory, Yan Xun's favorite color to wear during his lifetime was emerald green.
Because she often said that the year she first met Qin Hongan was in March, the willows were emerald green like smoke, and she was wearing an emerald green skirt.
Of course, this was not enough. Qin Yanning also asked Lan Yue to find Yan Xun’s favorite headdress during his lifetime.
After dressing up, Qin Yanning took Lan Yue to Song'an Courtyard where the old lady lived.
When she heard the gatekeeper maid announce that Qin Yanning had arrived, Old Lady Qin, who was originally talking to Qin Yurou with a smile, suddenly changed her expression.
She has never liked this eldest granddaughter. Firstly, it was because her mother Yan Xun did not give birth to a son. Secondly, it was because this girl was not sweet-mouthed at all and always liked to make things difficult for Yu Rou over trivial matters.
After all, Zhou Xue is her niece from her mother's side, and as an old lady, she is naturally more closely connected to her children.
But this eldest granddaughter of hers is ignorant and always likes to bully Yu Rou.
Thinking of Yan Xun and then the bizarre dream from last night, Old Lady Qin's mood, which had just calmed down, became irritable again.
When she raised her eyes, she saw Qin Yanning wearing an emerald green dress, and she almost fainted for a moment.
A loud cry of "Ghost!" resounded over Song'an Courtyard.
"What are you talking about, grandma? I'm Yan Ning. Grandma, please touch me, I'm warm."
As she spoke, Qin Yanning moved closer to Old Lady Qin. After all, Qin Yanning didn't look much like Yan Xun. Old Lady Qin calmed down and realized that this was her unpleasant eldest granddaughter.
She just felt her heart beating like a drum, and her whole body began to feel uncomfortable.
Zhou Xue also scolded: "Why are you dressed like this? Didn't you see that you scared your grandmother?"
Qin Yanning sat down leisurely on the couch. "Madam, you're so nosy. Do I have to report to you what Ning'er wears?"
Zhou Xue knew that she was now fearless, so she said coldly, "Your grandmother is not feeling well today. You should go back first. You don't need to come to pay your respects in the future."
"Your father said that the imperial decree granting the marriage will be issued soon, so you should stop wandering around."
Qin Yanning didn't want to stay in Song'an Courtyard at all, so he said hello and took Lan Yue back.
Only Old Lady Qin was left leaning on Qin Yurou, covering her heart and crying.
After this incident, Qin Yanning became even more convinced that Old Lady Qin was related to Yan Xun's death, and she felt even more at ease using this nightmare doll.
However, for the next period of time, Qin Yanning rarely went out.
Because she was busy embroidering a veil for herself at home.
In this dynasty, there is a custom that married girls embroider their own wedding dresses. Since Qin Yanning is marrying Shen Ziyu, the wedding dress must be made by the palace clothing bureau, but she has to embroider the veil herself.
The original owner's embroidery skills were not good, and Qin Yanning's skills were even worse. After struggling with the embroidery frame and thread for several days, Qin Yanning was able to embroider half a decent flower.
In the end, Lan Yue couldn't bear it anymore and secretly helped her embroider some, so that the veil looked better.
On the last day of July, the imperial edict from the palace was finally delivered to the Qin family, and the wedding date was set for March 16 of the following year. Along with it came 128 loads of betrothal gifts brought from the Regent's Palace.
Shen Ziyu was already the Prince Regent, and the emperor had nothing good to give him over the years, so he could only give him some valuable things, so the private treasury of the Prince Regent's Palace was very full.
Now that he has some feelings for Qin Yanning, he naturally doesn't want to lose face for her.
When these betrothal gifts were brought into the Qin family, countless people were attracted by them.
Many noble families sighed with regret. If they had known that the Regent was so generous, they would have chosen an unfavored girl from their family to marry him.
Of course, there are also many sober people who know that if it was not General Yan who asked His Majesty to grant the marriage that day, the Regent would most likely not agree to the marriage.
The Regent had never had any interest in women, and he didn't know whether the marriage that General Yan had worked so hard to arrange for his granddaughter was a blessing or a curse.
Qin Yurou was so angry when she saw Qin Yanning's show.
She could never have imagined that Qin Yanning, a woman who had been kidnapped by bandits and had a ruined reputation, deserved such treatment from the Regent.
Qin Yanning had already changed his clothes and came out to wait for the imperial edict.
After the eunuch who issued the decree read it, he handed it to Qin Hongan, who immediately had someone give the eunuch some silver.
Qin Yanning was not ignorant of the ways of the world, and he signaled Lan Yue to hand the prepared gold leaves to his father-in-law. The father-in-law couldn't help but smile and sincerely congratulated Qin Yanning.
After issuing the imperial edict, the eunuch returned to the palace.
The betrothal gifts sent by the Prince Regent's Palace were about to block the Qin family's door. Just as Zhou Xue was about to give the order to have the people in the palace deliver the gifts to the public treasury, she heard a male voice.
"Master Qin, Madam Qin, I have already instructed my servants to divide up the betrothal gifts for Ning'er."
"Sixty-four of these are for Lord Qin and Madam Qin, and the remaining sixty-four are from me for Ning'er."
Shen Ziyu walked out from behind the palace's team. Today he was wearing a dark green robe, and he looked extremely noble.
Since Shen Ziyu had spoken, there was no reason for Qin Hongan and Zhou Xue to disobey. They could only watch as the servants of the palace delivered the betrothal gifts to the public treasury and Qingzhuyuan separately.
Shen Ziyu looked at Qin Yanning and nodded slightly, and Qin Yanning smiled back.
However, all the Qin family members were here today, so Shen Ziyu went back without saying anything more to Qin Yanning.
Qin Yanning ordered Lan Yue to catch up and give the candied fruit that had been prepared long ago to Chang Yin, who was beside Shen Ziyu, and asked him to pass it on to Shen Ziyu.
