The eldest princess sitting here looks a little plumper than she was seven years ago, her face is glowing with gentleness, and her eyebrows are relaxed and cheerful. One look at her shows that she is living a very comfortable life.
When he looked at Lin Jinyan, the smile on his lips remained unchanged, and the tenderness in his eyes deepened:
"I haven't seen Miss Lin for many years, and she turned out to be so beautiful. No wonder she has the reputation of the fairy in the painting."
Lin Jinyan smiled sweetly: "Princess, the beauty of the country is heavenly and fragrant, but the flowers and plants I painted are just barely pleasing to the eye. The fairy in the painting is really an exaggeration, and I am not worthy of it."
The old woman on the left side of the eldest princess smiled and answered:
"You don't have to be humble. If you can bewitch this handsome man in Kyoto and beg to see him again and again, you are certainly a charmer."
The old woman's tone was friendly, as if she was joking with her granddaughter, but what she said made everyone's smiles freeze for a moment. They turned to look at Lin Jinyan's face, but saw that she looked calm, as if she didn't understand at all.
After the old woman finished speaking, a cold female voice sounded:
"Those who know what Mrs. Qi said, of course think that you are joking with the younger generation, but those who don't know think that you are angry because of your granddaughter Hua Qiong. I haven't seen Miss Zhao for a long time. Is her illness getting better?"
Mrs. Qi's smile faded a bit when she heard this, and she said with a soft smile:
"I just praised this girl's beauty. Meng Fuzi thought too much. Qiong'er was just a fever nightmare a few years ago. She talked nonsense for two days and then nothing happened. Meng Fuzi didn't know? Even at such a young age. Go out and move around more, don't stay bored at your parents' house all day long."
Lin Jinyan stood up and saluted: "I have been away from Kyoto for a long time, and I would like to ask Mrs. Qi to forgive me for my poor eyesight and my failure to recognize you in time. I have met Miss Zhao several times, and I like her very much because of her innocent and romantic nature. If it weren't for Zhao Zhao The young lady’s favorite person exchanged a few words with this junior, causing Miss Zhao to misunderstand, and this junior will definitely become handkerchiefs with Miss Zhao.”
Mrs. Qi's smile completely faded:
"Qiong'er is not married yet, how can she find the person of her dreams? How important is the reputation of her daughter's family, Miss Lin should be more careful with her words."
Lin Jinyan hurriedly apologized:
"The younger generation got close to me when I saw the old lady joking with me like my own grandmother. This is not to slander Miss Zhao's reputation. Please don't take offense."
Princess Xiang came in from the door with a smile:
"Jinyan, you kid is very honest. You are a junior. There are some things that Mrs. Qi can do, but you can't say."
The eldest princess stood up after hearing the words, and everyone followed suit and saluted.
"Royal Aunt."
Princess Xiang gave Lin Jinyan a heart-warming smile and walked to the eldest princess's side without stopping:
"Hurry up and sit down. It's my family, don't talk about these false etiquette. I'm just out of confinement, so pay more attention. I'd rather be hot than cold."
After Princess Xiang sat down, she gently glanced at everyone in the room, said hello to everyone she knew, and then took the eldest princess and spoke gently to her. When she mentioned Princess Yanling, Princess Xiang felt like she had a headache:
"Whoever is here doesn't know that my arrogant little girl is getting married in two months. I have to keep her in check every day to learn the rules, and I don't think it's enough. How dare I bring her here? You have just given birth, and you need her most. Rest, she will definitely pester you when she comes, and I will have a headache for you."
Everyone had kind smiles on their faces, and they all said that Princess Yanling was very frank and lively and lovable.
The eldest princess also said: "Yan Ling's character is obviously very good, but it is not as good as the emperor's aunt said."
The whole room was chatting and laughing in a friendly manner, but Mrs. Qi, who was suppressing her displeasure, was drinking tea from a cup. Princess Xiang glanced at him from the corner of her eye, pretending not to see this person.
