Chapter 47 Yueyue has grown up, so I won’t be polite to you anymore
Lan Zhenrong recalled Eunuch Xi's unusual attitude towards Lan Xiyue and the sentence "The Queen Mother likes her", and felt mixed emotions.
"Well, you should go back and rest. You must be tired after entering the palace." Lan Zhenrong's voice softened.
Lan Xiyue was a little surprised when she heard this, as this scumbag father rarely spoke to her in such a gentle tone. Then she thought about it and realized that it must be what Eunuch Xi said just now, so it was not surprising.
Lan Xiyue turned around and strode out of the hall.
Lan Lingrou stood aside, tightly clutching a handkerchief embroidered with intricate patterns in her hand, her fingertips turning white from the force.
Her eyes followed the direction of Lan Xiyue's departure, and an indescribable jealousy and unwillingness surged in her heart.
"No, she must get Yun Lingjin no matter what." She swore secretly in her heart.
Yunling brocade is a rare tribute with a light texture and warm color. How honorable and glorious it would be if I could wear clothes made of Yunling brocade on my grandmother's birthday?
Lan Lingrou's mind already appeared the scene of herself being the center of attention at the banquet and being looked at with envy by everyone.
Why did Lan Xiyue win the favor of the Queen Mother? A strong possessive desire burned in her heart.
At this time, Chu Xia was holding the items that the Queen Mother had given to Lan Xiyue, following closely behind Lan Xiyue.
Her face was full of indignation, "Miss, Second Miss and the others are so shameless. This is a reward given to you by the Queen Mother, and you still want it." Chu Xia's voice was small, but every word was clear, full of dissatisfaction with Lan Lingrou and others.
Lan Xiyue stopped, looked back at Chuxia, a smile flashed in her eyes.
"Some things can't be obtained just by wanting them. She wants it, but I won't give it to her."
Chu Xia laughed, "Then the Second Miss will be so angry that she will die!"
Chuchun was looking out the gate of the courtyard. Seeing their figures from afar, she couldn't wait to greet them. "Miss, are you okay? I heard you went to the palace. You're finally back."
"fine."
"Miss, let me hold it." Chuchun stretched out her hands, as if to take the seemingly heavy wooden box.
Lan Xiyue shook her head gently, a faint smile on her lips: "No, I can carry it myself. This thing is very heavy, you can't hold it."
Upon hearing this, Chuchun had no choice but to step aside and follow closely.
The group entered Xilingyuan. As they were talking, Nanny Liang came out of the house. Seeing Lan Xiyue returning, a kind smile suddenly bloomed on her face: "Miss, it's good to be back. It's good to be back."
"Nanny, you're not feeling well. Why are you coming out instead of lying down and resting?"
"I am feeling much better now. If you walk around more, you will get better faster." Although her voice was a little weak, it was full of relief and joy.
The group walked into the house while talking. Lan Xiyue put the wooden box on the table, rubbed her sore arm, opened the box, and instantly, a golden light shone out.
"Wow! Miss, it's gold, so much gold, how much gold is here?" Chu Xia exclaimed. She had never seen so much gold, and her eyes were full of amazement and curiosity.
Chuxia put the cloth and box in her hands on the table, very happy.
Lan Xiyue smiled slightly and reached out to gently touch the golden ingots: "There should be one thousand taels of gold."
Lan Xiyue picked up three gold ingots and gave one to each of them. "Take them. These are rewards from me."
Chuxia and Chuchun looked at the gold ingots in their hands with joy and said in unison, "Thank you, Miss."
Nanny Liang looked at the gold ingot in her hand, her eyes reddened, "Miss..."
"Nurse, please keep them. Look, there are so many here!"
"Thank you, young lady!"
Lan Xiyue just smiled faintly. In her opinion, although there was a lot of gold, it was just the tip of the iceberg in the warehouse.
She thought to herself that she must take advantage of the moonlight tonight to store all the treasures in the storehouse into the space. Anyway, the people in the marquis' mansion were not good to her, so she didn't need to keep them.
On the side, Nanny Liang was infected by their joyful looks and couldn't help but smile.
Just as everyone was immersed in joy, Lan Xiyue suddenly remembered something and reached out to open an exquisite small box next to the wooden box.
An extremely huge night pearl suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Wow! Miss, what a big night pearl!" Chu Xia exclaimed again.
Lan Xiyue's eyes also lit up. She gently picked up the night pearl and looked at it carefully.
The texture and luster of this night pearl are both of the best quality. If placed in a room, can it provide lighting at night?
"Yueyue!" An anxious voice came from outside, and then Lan Shenye's figure hurried through the moon gate and headed straight for Lan Xiyue's boudoir.
"Yueyue, are you okay?" Lan Shenye asked anxiously as soon as he entered the door, his eyes full of worry.
Lan Xiyue smiled slightly and shook her head, "Brother, I'm fine. Why are you so anxious? Did something happen?"
As soon as he came back, he heard that she was summoned to the palace by the Queen Mother today. He was worried!
Only then did Lan Shenye notice a heavy wooden box on the table. The lid of the box was slightly open, revealing a box full of gold ingots, shining brightly and dazzlingly.
His eyes widened in shock, "Where...where did this come from?"
Lan Xiyue smiled lightly, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes, "Oh, these are the gifts given to me by the Queen Mother."
Lan Shenye felt relieved upon hearing this, but then he became curious again. "Yueyue, why did the Queen Mother summon you to the palace? And why did she give you these things?"
Lan Xiyue said softly, "It's nothing, actually. Last time at Xiangguo Temple, the Queen Mother suddenly fell ill and her medicine fell to the ground. I happened to be nearby, so I picked it up for her."
"I see."
Lan Xiyue looked at Lan Shenye, her eyes full of tenderness. "You are my brother, so naturally you have a share. Chuxia, go get a bag and I will fill it with gold ingots for you."
"yes."
"Yueyue, you can keep these gold ingots. Brother doesn't want them." Lan Shenye said with a smile.
Lan Xiyue took the bag handed to her by Chu Xia and began to pack it with gold ingots. "Brother, there are too many gold ingots. I can't use them all. You can take some of them. You usually have to spend money on books, pens, inkstones, and paper."
Lan Shenye was touched when he heard this, but he declined, "No, I have money. Yueyue will keep it as a dowry in the future."
Lan Xiyue curled her lips, secretly complaining in her heart: How could her eldest brother still have money? Didn't the original owner squander it all? But her face didn't show the slightest bit of strangeness. She just quickened her movements, picked up a bundle full of gold ingots, and handed it to Lan Shenye, "Brother, take it, this is a gift from me."
Lan Shenye looked at the bundle in his hand, and nodded with a smile, "Okay, Yueyue has grown up, and I won't be polite with you anymore."
"Brother, it's getting late. Let's stay here for dinner tonight. Chuchun, Chuxia, go prepare dinner."
Chuchun and Chuxia heard this, responded happily, and turned to go to the kitchen to busy themselves.
At dinner time, the dining table at Xilingyuan was filled with sumptuous dishes, the aroma of which was mouth-watering.
Lan Shenye and Lan Xiyue sat opposite each other. The brother and sister ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
