Chapter 481 Many noble ladies have posted messages to Xing Xing

Xingxing was sitting at home, not knowing what was going on. Gifts from the palace continued to flow into the Zhenxi General's Mansion like water.

In fact, the eunuch who came to convey the imperial decree this time was Eunuch Hong, the manager of Zhaoyang Palace.

Eunuch Hong's face was full of smiles, and he said to Xing Xing with a smile: "The Queen had a dream yesterday. She saw Xiangjun in her dream. She was grateful and thought it was a good omen. So after waking up, she opened her private storehouse and found a lot of things that a young girl could use, and asked Zajia to send them to Xiangjun."

Empress Nie had always wanted a daughter, but she had not been able to do so for many years. However, a palace maid of a lower rank gave birth to a princess, and Emperor Jiazheng wanted to bring her up to be raised by Empress Nie, but Empress Nie simply refused, saying that she could not bear to separate the mother and daughter because of her. Besides, she also had her own children, and she would certainly not love the adopted child as much as she loved her own child. So why bother?

Therefore, all the jewellery of little girls that Empress Nie had collected in the past were piled up in the Empress' treasury. Except for occasionally giving one or two as rewards to a few concubines' princesses, some were given to her niece Nie Yuke and others.

This time, it was the first time that a large reward was given to a girl from a minister's family.

Xingxing was naturally happy, but she was also a little confused.

Your Majesty, aren't you treating her too well?

Not only Yu's family was confused, in fact many noble families in the capital were also confused.

But no matter what, they all realized one thing - Your Majesty, it is very obvious that you are going to lift up this Fusui Xiangjun.

One after another, many noble ladies sent messages to Xingxing.

Among them was a post from Zhang Yazhi. Xingxing glanced at it casually and saw that the name of the person who posted the post looked familiar. He had the same surname as Empress Nie, also Nie, and his name was Nie Yuke. She paused for a moment and took a closer look. She found that it was indeed a post from Empress Nie's family, the Cheng'en Mansion.

Xingxing remembered the "Sister A Ke" whom she had met in Zhaoyang Palace before.

It seems that she is the niece of Empress Nie.

Xingxing thought about it, put the post aside, asked her maid to reply, and prepared to attend the banquet.

In addition, there is a post from Prince Ying’s Mansion.

At that time, Xingxing donated 12,000 taels of silver to the charity privately, but she did not make it public. It was when Princess Ying took Princess Qing'an to the charity to do charity and accidentally flipped through the charity's account book that she reported this good deed that the person involved had unintentionally donated to the emperor.

By the way, Xingxing was awarded the title of Fusuixiangjun, thanks to Princess Ying and Princess Qing'an.

Xingxing picked out this post and put it aside, preparing to attend the banquet.

There is another post, which is from the Prince Jiping's Mansion.

Xingxing had never dealt with the Prince Jiping's Mansion before. After thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't figure out why the Prince Jiping's Mansion would send her an invitation.

Cen Yueyi was sorting out the family accounts on the side - after Yu Yonghuai married her, the private treasury accounts were handed over to Cen Yueyi, who was in charge of them.

Seeing Xing Xing frowning in deep thought, Cen Yueyi suddenly smiled, "I just remembered that when Shou Qing's cousin came here, didn't Ju Ge'er bring his good brothers over to 'play'?"

Xingxing nodded blankly. Yes, that’s true.

"One of them is the youngest son of Prince Jiping, named Wei Zihang." Cen Yueyi reminded, "I remember that day he seemed to be wearing a water green robe."

Xingxing still has no impression.

After all, her attention was on Orange Boy at that time.

"In other words, because Wei Zihang is good friends with Ju Ge'er, he sent me the message?" Xing Xing guessed.

Cen Yueyi looked at Xing Xing hesitantly, and in the end she did not express her guess.

She pursed her lips and smiled secretly. After all, Yu Yonghuai had complained to her angrily a few days ago, saying that some people in the army were asking him about Xing Xing!

Their daughter Xingxing is not even thirteen years old yet!

This is too much!

At that time, Cen Yueyi comforted Yu Yonghuai, saying that a good girl is sought after by hundreds of families, so we should just ignore them and there is no need to get angry about this.

Seeing that Xingxing was still confused, Cen Yueyi felt that she should not point it out. The sister-in-law still didn't understand anything!

Xing Xing didn't dwell on it and put the invitation from Prince Jiping's mansion aside, preparing to attend the banquet: "Just consider it as giving face to Ju Ge'er!"

Cen Yueyi thought of something else: "Since there are so many banquets, I have to buy some more jewelry. I have a set of burnt blue agate jewelry in my wedding dress, which will go well with the lake green dress you just made a few days ago."

Having said that, Cen Yue Yixing immediately asked her maid to get the key.

Xing Xing naturally wanted to refuse, but before she could open her mouth, the maid who came with her as a dowry said reluctantly: "Madam, this is the makeup that Uncle Song gave you, you..."

Cen Yueyi, who was always gentle and smiling to others, now had a cold expression on her face.

Xing Xing was even more embarrassed: "Yes, sister-in-law, I can't take it. Besides, I have a lot of jewelry, I can't even wear them all, how can I take the jewelry that my eldest sister-in-law brought as a dowry?"

Lan Yuan, the maidservant who came with the dowry, also quickly agreed, "The eldest lady is right."

In front of Xing Xing, Cen Yueyi didn't say anything, but after Xing Xing left, Cen Yueyi looked indifferent and called Lan Yuan over: "Lan Yuan, you are the maid that my uncle and second uncle brought to the capital to give me as a dowry, right?"

Lan Yuan was a little confused as to why Cen Yueyi suddenly said this, but he still responded, "Madam is right."

Cen Yueyi looked at her solemnly: "Since you are my maidservant, you should respect me in everything. I just asked you to pick the jewellery for the young lady, what kind of words did you say?"

When Lan Yuan heard this, he understood clearly that their eldest young lady had come to call for punishment.

Lan Yuan knelt down hurriedly, but she was still somewhat unconvinced and could not help but defend herself: "...Madam, I am also thinking about you. After all, the dowry is your support. You just promised me a set of burnt blue agate jewelry so easily, and in the future..."

Cen Yueyi pressed her eyebrows. Does this maid really want to teach her how to behave?

"Then why don't you talk about the things that the young lady has been sending to my room these days?" Cen Yueyi looked at Lan Yuan calmly, "Boxes of South China Sea pearls, beauty cream from the Western Regions, and a piece of Shu embroidery worth a hundred gold coins from Shu. Why don't you mention these?"

Lan Yuan concluded: "Madam, the eldest young lady..."

She knelt there, somewhat dejected, with her head lowered and silent.

Cen Yueyi stood up and walked past Lan Yuan: "Kneel here first and think about it carefully."

After all, Lan Yuan was one of the maids given to her as a dowry by her in-laws, so Cen Yueyi was willing to give her another chance.
