On the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, this day is Wan Wei's fifty-sixth birthday.ww.la

There were a steady stream of cars and horses in front of Wanfu Gate, and the sound of people was buzzing.

Yuan Xin followed Mrs. Yuan into Wan Mansion from the side door, and heard the doorman chanting the names of the various mansions who came to deliver gifts:

"Mr. Luo, the Censor, sent a greeting to congratulate--"

"Mr. Zhang, Minister of Justice, sent a greeting to congratulate--"

"Weiyuan Hou Mansion sends a greeting to congratulate--"

"Ge Lao Cheng sent a greeting to congratulate--"

...

Yuan Xin walked quietly beside Mrs. Yuan, lowering her eyes and listening to Mrs. Yuan whispering what she wanted to pay attention to for a while, but her thoughts ran away elsewhere.

According to the doorman's notice, these families did not send anyone to celebrate their birthday today, but just gave a symbolic gift of face.

It can be seen that they are not the same as Wan Wei.

She also heard a little about Wan Wei's youngest son drowned at King Wen's night banquet. She knew that there was a gap between the Cheng family and the Wan family, but she didn't know if the other people stood on the way of the King of Chu...

In Yuan Xin's opinion, either Ning or Chu could seize the position of crown prince. He did not think that there would be important officials who would be so stupid that they would refuse the prince's recruitment.

However, the Cheng family offended both sides.

Yuan Xin's mouth raised a slight smile, but suddenly heard Mrs. Yuan beside him say:

“…Did you remember?”

Yuan Xin was stunned, completely unaware of what Mrs. Yuan had just said.

It was nothing more than the etiquette and rules of the inner house backyard, so she nodded perfunctorily.

Mrs. Yuan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and stopped saying anything, straightened her spine and raised her head to try her best to maintain a decent demeanor to hide her nervousness.

This is the first time Mrs. Yuan has attended such an occasion since she came to Beijing.

Yuan Xin frowned slightly, and a sense of irritability and impatience surged in his heart.

After all, the stepmother Yuan Hu was born into a business family. In the past, she seemed too active and lacked stability when dealing with the family members of those minor officials in Ezhou. Now, after coming to Beijing, she can't help but dealing with the wife and wife of a certain status... She really can't stand it!

She couldn't help but remember the time she met Wang at Zhang. Wang was sitting there dignifiedly and elegantly drinking tea, saying hardly anything, and even her smile was light.

But that kind of demeanor forced Zhang, a daughter-in-law from the Wang family in Taiyuan, to suppress her.

...How could Cheng Xi, how could she be so lucky!

Yuan Xin held his hand tightly in his sleeve and pinched his nails into the palm of his hand.

On Laba Day, she went to the Wang family to deliver porridge to Wang Qian, but the concierge said that Wang Qian had gone to Cheng's house to return gifts. She put down the porridge and went home for a day, and it was not until sunset that the Wang family sent a manager to carry the gifts.

Yuan Xin looked up at the female living room where laughter came from vaguely in front of him, and his face became sweeter.

"Madam Yuan, Miss Yuan is here!" The woman who led the way recognized Yuan Xin and smiled and said loudly.

A woman with a brocade-faced braid and a bunny hairpin was standing under the porch, and was explaining to her. When she heard this, she turned her head to look at Mrs. Yuan and Yuan Xin.

Yuan Xin said softly:

"This is Liu's mother next to Mrs. Wan."

Mrs. Yuan couldn't help but think that it was dangerous - she thought that this person was a wife in Wanfu, so she almost went up to see her.

The mother Liu smiled politely on her face, put her hands gently in front of her, and nodded to Mrs. Yuan with a slight slightest:

"Mrs. Yuan, Miss Yuan. All the ladies and wives are sitting inside. Please."

As he said that, he raised his hand slightly and made a request.

Mrs. Yuan smiled and nodded, and before she could speak, she saw Mama Liu turn to Yuan Xin and say:

"The ladies in the houses are talking in the west wing warmer. The third lady has also remembered you today."

Yuan Xin smiled gently:

"Then I'll just go and talk to the third lady and the others. I recognize the west wing, so there is no need to worry about finding someone to lead the way."

When Mrs. Yuan heard that Yuan Xin was leaving, she became nervous instinctively. She grabbed Yuan Xin and told:

"You can't lose your rudeness when playing with all the ladies in the future. You must be humble and respectful. Remember to ask Xier to come to me immediately if you have something to do..."

Yuan Xin's eyes flashed with disgust, he glanced at Liu's mother quickly, nodded with a smile, then broke away from her, turned to the west wing warmer pavilion.

Some people had gathered in the warm pavilion. Wan Shunqing sat with a few young women in luxurious clothes and chatted and laughed. When he heard the maid's report, he looked up at Yuan Xin.

"Come?" She pointed to the empty seat not far away, "Come and sit."

Yuan Xin walked over with a smile and bowed slightly to everyone, then sat down calmly, and looked everyone at him without any trace.

"This is Yuan Xin, the mansion of Master Yuan, Youtongzheng." Wan Shunqing casually introduced her to everyone, turned to Yuan Xin and smiled, "You don't need to be restrained. This is all my sister and sister. A Qiao and the others have not come yet."

Yuan Xin nodded and smiled, and realized that the young women were dressed as the daughters of the Wan family who were married.

Everyone started talking to themselves again. Yuan Xin sat quietly aside, but heard them talking about things in the palace.

"...It's hard to say whether Empress De is comfortable, but the Empress is afraid she is uncomfortable."

"I heard that the Queen is completely ignoring her own brother's affairs. Now everything depends on the prince's kindness... Who would have thought that this round-trip situation would have become such a situation?"

"There are more than these things that make the queen's headache." Someone covered his mouth and chuckled, "When my mother came to the palace to visit Concubine Shu the day before yesterday, she heard that Princess Chunming was sick..."

"What's sick? Who doesn't know that the princess is..."

The voice made people laugh and interrupted. Everyone laughed in a clear way. Someone refused to stop and said with some intention:

"I heard that a few days will be the day for that man to get married."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Yuan Xin couldn't help but prick up his ears when he heard these things that she had nowhere to know, but was frightened by the courage of these people.

The matter involves noble people in the palace, but to them, it seems like an interesting story about the backyard of an ordinary family's inner house. This is not to be avoided!

Even Princess Chunming, the Mingzhu in the Queen's hand, dared to make fun of it!

Is this the daughter of a powerful minister’s family? So free!

Yuan Xin was thinking randomly, but Wan Shunqing suddenly leaned over and approached her and whispered:

"Don't rush back after using the official banquet later, and then combed the bun rings of me the last time."

Yuan Xin came to his senses, his eyes moved slightly, and his face smiled and said:

"good."

After the birthday party at noon, Wan Shunqing indeed asked his maid to say hello to Mrs. Yuan, and then took Yuan Xin back to his yard.

"You can't learn how to tie your hair and your sparrows. After combing it a few times, it ended up falling apart." Wan Shunqing sat in front of the mirror and complained.

Yuan Xin gently spread her hair, skillfully knitting her hair, and smiled:

"You are shining today, even if you don't combed that bun, it's the most eye-catching thing." She paused, "How could that person see someone else in his eyes?"

Wan Shunqing was so relaxed that he said something.

This is also the reason why she likes to get along with Yuan Xin more and more.

"How could you say so exaggeratedly? Didn't you see that, my fifth sister wanted to take the lead in all the jewelry today, and she would probably have a whole box of fragrant powder on her body!" Wan Shunqing sneered, "If you hadn't been careful, I wouldn't have noticed that the girl had the same intention!"

Yuan Xin listened quietly, smiling and silent.

She quickly combed her hair bun. Wan Shunqing looked at him in the mirror and was extremely satisfied. He immediately got up and tied his fox fur cloak with Yuan Xin toward the flower hall.

Yuan Xin followed her to the fork in the garden road:

"...Then I'll go back to the warm room to wait for you first."

Wan Shunqing nodded absent-mindedly and said, "Okay", and hurried to the garden with his maid.

Yuan Xin stood quietly in the same place and watched her figure disappear, then turned around and walked alone towards the other direction of the garden.
