Su Ruojin nodded. "Okay."
Watching his lord and princess walk hand in hand ahead, Hu Qing stole a glance at Yan Luo beside him, his fingers twitching slightly, but he ultimately dared not reach out.
Sigh, when will he be able to walk hand in hand with Yanluo like a prince?
"Um, Yanluo, I went to Yunqi to buy you a gift." Hu Qing took out a red agate hairpin inlaid with gold plum blossoms and pearls from his pocket.
Yanluo was a little taken aback.
Hu Qing went to Yun Qi to buy her a gift?
Hu Qing and Xiao Yanchu didn't stay in Yunqi for many days this time, yet he still managed to find time to buy himself a hairpin.
Seeing that Yanluo hadn't taken the hairpin yet, Hu Qing became a little anxious. "I... I didn't know what style you liked, so I asked the shop assistant to recommend one. He said it's the style that girls in Yunqi like the most right now. If you don't like it, then I... I'll go and buy you another one tomorrow."
After saying that, Hu Qing was about to put the hairpin away when Yan Luo snatched it away, glared at Hu Qing, and said, "What an idiot."
Yanluo immediately put the hairpin in her hair. Although she didn't look directly at Hu Qing, her heart was warm and a blush rose to her face.
Seeing Yanluo wearing the hairpin he had given her, Hu Qing grinned foolishly and added, "It looks good." Yanluo rolled her eyes at him again.
An Yi and An Er exchanged a glance in the shadows.
Sigh, even the eldest brother is getting married, while the others are still nowhere to be found.
On the other side, Madam Su and Su Muyao were taking a stroll when a young maidservant approached them and bowed, "Madam Su, Miss Su, our Lady of Xuanyi invites you both to come and sit down."
Marquis Xuanyi?
Madam Su and Su Muyao exchanged a glance. The relationship between the Su family and the Xuanyi Marquis's family was not particularly close, so why did Madam Xuanyi Marquis invite them over?
The maidservant seemed to sense Madam Su's confusion and quickly explained, "Our Marquis's wife said that it's a rare opportunity for everyone to get together, so she invited all the ladies and young women from noble families to come over for a chat."
Oh, I see.
"Mu Yao, let's go sit down."
"Yes, Mother."
Su Muyao helped Madam Su to the tent of the Marquis of Xuanyi.
Some ladies and young women were already seated inside. When they saw Madam Su enter, they all stood up and bowed.
Lady Su was a first-rank imperial consort, while the wife of the Marquis of Xuanyi did not hold an imperial consort title. In terms of rank, she had to pay her respects to Lady Su.
"Madam Su, I thought it was a rare opportunity for everyone to get out and about, so I had someone invite you all over to sit and chat," said Madam Xuanyi with a smile.
"Oh my, Mu Yao is getting more and more beautiful. Back when I went to the General's Mansion, she was just a little kid."
Madam Su smiled and replied, "These children, they worry about being born but not about growing up. Now that the children are all grown up, we are all getting old."
Mu Yao smiled obediently and stayed by Madam Su's side.
“Madam Su, you don’t look old at all. We’re all about the same age, but you look much younger than us. Do you have any beauty secrets to share?” a lady from a prominent family chimed in.
This wasn't just flattery from the lady. After Su Ruojin returned, Madam Su took the pills that Xiao Jin had specially prepared for her, and her skin did indeed become much whiter. Her energy and spirit looked much better than other ladies of the same age, so she naturally appeared younger than her peers.
The atmosphere here is lively with everyone chatting and laughing.
When Xiao Yanchu escorted Su Ruojin back to the Su family tent, he saw Deng Yi and Su Yuanchuan walking over together.
