Chapter 993 Chapter 993, There is something wrong with my brain
Daohua accepted Madam An's gift with a calm and indifferent expression, as if she didn't think there was anything wrong with Madam An's gift to her.
The An family is not a family of nobles. Old Madam An just benefited from the influence of Concubine An and got the title of a first-rank lady. It is customary to bow in front of a first-rank princess.
However, Daohua's action made Mrs. An feel extremely humiliated.
As the mother of the Imperial Concubine, even the eldest prince had to bow to her when he saw her. How could this girl from the Yan family, who was born in a poor family, dare to accept her gift?
An Xin, who was supporting Old Madam An, noticed that her grandmother's face looked strange, so she secretly tugged at her sleeve, which helped Old Madam An regain her sanity and avoid an outburst.
Old Madam An looked at Daohua and forced a stiff smile, saying, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and the princess is still the same as when she was in the capital." Still as unruly!
Daohua's smile was much more sincere: "Old Madam, you are too kind. Xiliang is bitterly cold. I have been here for a few years and I have already aged. Fortunately, I have taken good care of myself, so I have not become a yellow-faced woman."
Mrs. An: “.”
Is this what she meant?
In the capital, whether she was engaged to Prince Weiyuan or married into Prince Ping's mansion, this girl from the Yan family was known for not following the rules.
As expected, he was born in a poor family and can't even understand what people say!
Daohua smiled and looked away, continuing to invite the emperor's grandchildren to eat.
Old Madam An's expression stiffened again. This girl from the Yan family was simply pushing her limits. She actually left herself alone in the living room like this!
Feeling the strange looks from Mrs. Du and others, Mrs. An endured it for a while, but finally found a place to sit down in a dejected manner.
When Rice Flower saw this, the corners of her mouth curled up.
Some people are just mean. If you give them face, they will make themselves uncomfortable. If you don't give them face, they will find a way out.
This old lady An actually wants to control me as soon as she comes. I really don’t know if she has a problem with her brain?
When Mrs. An San saw her mother-in-law sitting down, she immediately felt relieved. She looked at the rice flowers. She didn't expect that Princess Xiao would be so disrespectful to her mother-in-law.
You know, the eldest prince is the most popular candidate for the crown prince.
Even though the Weiyuan Palace is more powerful now, isn't she afraid of being liquidated after the eldest prince ascends the throne?
At this moment, she actually agreed with her mother-in-law's words. Princess Xiao was capable, but she had not received much education since childhood and her vision was short-sighted.
If a girl came from their family, she would never be so careless about the overall situation.
Mrs. Du and the others were also a little surprised. Even though the eldest prince and the second prince were fighting fiercely, their families were still polite to each other on the surface.
No one knows what will happen in the future, so no one will do anything to the extreme!
However, seeing the rice flowers falling on Madam An's face, Madam Du and the others felt very happy.
Old Madam An relied on the fact that she was the mother of the imperial concubine and had a higher generation, and often used her status as an elder to pressure them.
Who is she?
It would have been fine if they were controlled by their mother-in-law at home, but now that they had come to Xiliang, they had to be lectured by Old Madam An. Naturally, they were very unhappy.
Daohua didn’t know what these people were thinking, and even if she knew, she wouldn’t care.
She wanted to make good friends with the princes' in-laws. Even if she couldn't be close friends, at least she had to save face.
But the prerequisite is that they know the limits.
Obviously, Madam An didn't have this sense of propriety. If she indulged her, there would be endless troubles waiting for her in the future.
After all, she was an old noble, so Madam An quickly calmed down and smiled as she pulled her granddaughter out from beside her: "Princess, this is my granddaughter, An Xin."
An Xin, who had been silent the entire time, immediately stepped forward and bowed to Dao Hua: "An Xin greets the princess and pays her respects."
Daohua smiled and nodded: "Get up."
An Xin stood up and quickly looked up at the bright and noble woman in the main seat.
Xiliang is bitterly cold, and Third Aunt has only been here for over half a year, but her skin has deteriorated a lot. However, Princess Xiao has been here for several years, but her skin is still fair and delicate.
Her relaxed brows, sparkling eyes, raised eyebrows, and rosy cheeks all indicate that Princess Xiao is living a good and comfortable life.
Madam An waited for An Xin to stand behind her and said with a smile, "This girl is the most filial. She was worried when I came to Xiliang this time and insisted on following me to serve me."
Mrs. Du and the others smiled faintly and praised him a few times.
Daohua smiled and looked at Anxin.
This girl is the concubine's daughter of the An family's eldest wife, and she just came of age this year.
There was something amusing in Daohua's smile. The girl who had reached marriage age did not stay in the capital to find her husband and prepare for marriage, but came to the remote Xiliang. Her intention of settling down was really intriguing.
Daohua said nothing and continued talking to the little grandchildren.
Seeing this, Mrs. An felt a little heartbroken. How could she continue to praise her granddaughter if the Yan family girl didn't respond?
Mrs. An San was worried that her mother-in-law would once again upset the atmosphere that had finally warmed up, so she quickly spoke up, "Mother, before you left, didn't you say that the Imperial Concubine asked you to bring a gift?"
Old Madam An laughed: "Look at me, I actually forgot such an important thing." As she said that, she glanced at An Xin.
An Xin immediately took a golden nanmu box from the maid. At the signal of Mrs. An, she opened the box, revealing a thumb-sized Dongzhu necklace. She held it in both hands and walked towards Daohua.
Madam An smiled and looked at Daohua: "This is a gift from the Imperial Concubine to your Highness. I heard it is this year's tribute. I don't think you can find such a good thing in Xiliang. Your Highness, please accept it quickly."
As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. An San's eyelids could not help but twitch, and even Mrs. Du and the others had expressions that were hard to describe.
Madam An spoke in a tone of almsgiving. What was she trying to do?
Do you really think you can do whatever you want with the support of Concubine An and the eldest prince?
Daohua glanced at the Dongzhu necklace calmly, motioned for Guyu to accept it, and then said with a smile, "Your Highness is thoughtful. This Dongzhu is indeed good. The last time the prince returned to the capital, the emperor's uncle gave him several boxes, in pink, purple, and yellow."
"I like Dongzhu very much. I made several sets of head ornaments and necklaces. Now there is a full box left in the storeroom. Now that I have a concubine, the storeroom needs more things."
Show off to her, can the An family compare with the Wang Mansion?
Mrs. An: “.”
Mrs. Du and others: “.”
I forgot, Prince Weiyuan is very much favored by the emperor.
Afterwards, Madam Du and the others took out the gifts given by Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian and Concubine De. After the An family was slapped in the face before, they didn't dare to make any more trouble.
When the emperor's grandchildren had almost finished eating, Daohua looked at Guyu and said, "Go to Master and tell him that the emperor's grandchildren have arrived."
Guyu nodded and quickly left the house. After a while, she returned and said, "Princess, the old master said to let some of the emperor's grandchildren go over."
Daohua hummed, and smiled at the imperial grandchildren: "Don't you want to see the Duke of Fuguo? I'll have my maid take you there."
Several of the emperor's grandchildren immediately looked at Madam An and the others.
Madam An immediately stood up and said, "Let's go and pay our respects to the Duke of Fuguo."
Daohua just looked at Old Madam An like that. It would be fine if she didn't take her seriously, but where did Old Madam An get the confidence to think that Master and the others could see her whenever they wanted?
Didn’t you hear Guyu say that only a few of the emperor’s grandchildren would be allowed to pass?
Mrs. Du was a smooth talker. Noticing Daohua's expression was off, she quickly asked with a smile, "Will we disturb the Duke of Fuguo if we go over there?"
Daohua glanced over and explained, "Master was ill last time. Although he is better now, he needs to rest."
Madam Du heard the refusal in Daohua's tone and immediately said, "In that case, we will not bother the Duke of Fuguo."
Daohua nodded and signaled Guyu to take a few of the emperor's grandchildren to Nanshan Hall.
