In the past, Mrs. Ji would have distributed good things like Xiangyun Sha to Yan Shuangshuang without the old lady asking.

This time, the old lady still said it with a smile, but she choked on Ji's words, and her face turned dark immediately.

"This girl is still young, what kind of good clothes can she wear?"

The old lady glanced at Yan Jiaojiao, with unconcealed disgust in her eyes.

"It would be better to give it to Shuangshuang. She is of a good age. The Wang family is not well-off, and Shuangshuang doesn't even have any decent clothes when going out. She is also the legitimate daughter of our Hou family. She goes out in rags, and so does your sister-in-law. You have no face, right?"

【You are so shameless. 】

Yan Jiaojiao felt that he was a shameless person, and he was willing to be inferior in front of the old lady.

[When I ask for something from someone, I do it so confidently. 】

Ji was amused, "Mom, please don't say that."

"The Wang family is also the residence of a general. How come they can't even afford clothes for my sister to go out? Besides, it's true that my sister is our aunt, but she has already married and become the wife of the Wang family. It's really embarrassing, but it can't be thrown on my head. .”

"Then again, if it's my thing, I'll give it to you. But the Queen has named it for me and Jiao Jiao. Next time we enter the palace, we must wear it to make the Queen happy. I gave it to my sister. ,what should we do?"

"You...when did you become so stingy?" The old lady really didn't expect that Mr. Ji would do it to her face for a piece of fabric, and she was so angry that she was shaking.

"Okay!" Yan Hongfei couldn't listen anymore. He really couldn't understand why a woman could start a fight with a piece of cloth.

"Since it's a gift from the Queen, just keep it."

His eyes were attracted by something else.

Queen Xu determined that it was Yan Jiaojiao who warned her son in his dream, and his son escaped the disaster.

Therefore, the rewards given are generous.

What Yan Hongfei saw was an old ginseng.

The color of the old ginseng is very good, and the limbs are lifelike.

Anyone with a bit of discernment will know at a glance that this ginseng must be quite old.

Thinking of how Liu Xinyue had been worried and worried since she gave birth to their daughter, she had a lot more troubles, and her confinement period was not easy.

During this time, her entire body visibly lost weight.

This old ginseng is a rare thing to replenish the body.

Yan Hongfei's eyes flashed.

[What bad idea is Daddy having? 】

Whenever the old lady and Yan Hongfei appeared, Yan Jiaojiao would be extra vigilant.

Yan Hongfei said to Ji: "I heard that Duke An Guo has suffered from an old illness recently. This old ginseng is just about to take care of his health, so why not give it to him? It is also a favor."

An Guogong was a military general. He had fought hard for many years, and it was inevitable that he would have hidden diseases on his body.

【Liar! 】

Yan Jiaojiao didn't believe that his father would be so kind.

Ji did not refuse.

She carefully wrapped the old ginseng and put it in the brocade box, "Then I will send it over tomorrow."

"Why go to all this trouble?" Yan Hongfei said hurriedly, "I have already sent a message to Duke Anguo's office, and I will go to visit him tomorrow. I will take him with me."

"That's fine."

Ji then handed the brocade box to Yan Hongfei.

Yan Hongfei was satisfied, and then he remembered and asked Ji, "Why did the Queen declare you to enter the palace?"

"It's just that the empress summons foreign wives every day."

Regarding the matter involving the Ninth Prince, Ji would not say a word, and Empress Xu also meant the same thing.

Yan Hongfei thought for a moment and reminded Ji in a low voice, "I heard that there seems to be some gap between Cining Palace and Fengyi Palace."

He was not afraid that Ji would offend Queen Mother Guo by being close to the Queen, but he was just worried that he would be implicated.

Ji frowned and stopped him from continuing.

"Your Majesty, please shut up! Who in the world doesn't know that Queen Fengyi Palace is sponsored by the Empress Dowager? Where did the estrangement come from? If the Marquis hears such words again next time, he should take that Man, punish him for the crime of treason!"

"What are you talking about!" The old lady was unhappy, "The Marquis is your husband-in-law and the God of our Marquis Mansion, so you have no right to tell him to shut up!"

She just asked for something and was rejected, so this was an excuse.

"A virtuous wife will bring less trouble to her husband." Mrs. Ji did not give in. "If the Marquis is right, I will naturally obey his advice. If the Marquis is wrong, can't I, the wife, remind him?"

"you!"

The old lady suddenly wiped her eyes and started to cry.

"What evil have I done to have a daughter-in-law like this? Old Marquis, why do you leave me alone in this world and let others bully me!"

Now, it was Ji's turn to be angry.

They are all ladies of a high family, and even if they quarrel with each other on weekdays, they would just make sarcastic remarks.

As a mother-in-law, she never had any problems with acting out in the past!

【She pretended! Not a single tear! 】

Yan Jiaojiao saw that her mother was so angry that her face was red, and she couldn't wait to step forward to help.

[Next time, give her a handkerchief dipped in ginger water and make her cry! 】

Listening to her daughter's angry voice, Mrs. Ji really couldn't laugh or cry.

Yan Hongfei also felt that his mother's behavior was a bit ugly, which just gave him an excuse to leave.

"Mother!" Yan Hongfei rubbed his eyebrows, "Don't do such vulgar things!"

While persuading the old lady, he helped her go out, not forgetting to turn around and tell Mrs. Ji, "I'll take mother back first."

[Mom, you are stupid! That old ginseng is definitely not for An Guogong! 】

How could Mr. Ji not know?

Yan Hongfei and An Guogong didn't have a deep relationship, so how could he think of visiting a doctor and giving him ginseng?

"Silly girl."

Ji looked at the door and saw that Yan Hongfei and the old lady had long since disappeared.

Yan Jiaojiao was not happy.

【I'm not stupid! 】

She more or less guessed that Ji happily handed over Lao Shen to Yan Hongfei, and she must have had a backup plan.

As for Ji's purpose, she couldn't guess it even though she was stupid.

Ji patted her and said, "Go to sleep!"

But he said that Yan Hongfei sent the old lady to Hui Chunhui Hall, and he didn't bother to listen to the old lady's chatter, so he took the old ginseng and rushed to Lihuayuan.

In the Lihua Courtyard, Liu Xinyue was sitting with her chin in front of the flower window, staring at the flowers and plants in the yard with a pair of watery eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

Behind her, the wet nurse was holding the crying Yan Wanwan and pacing back and forth.

Liu Xinyue turned a deaf ear to her daughter's cries.

"Ayue!"

Yan Hongfei walked in excitedly, "Look what I brought you?"

He handed the old ginseng to Liu Xinyue like a treasure.

Liu Xinyue only glanced at it and then looked away.

"What's going on?" Yan Hongfei didn't know why.

Liu Xinyue shook her head, "It's okay."

"Madam is sad!" the wet nurse who was holding the child interrupted, "Just now someone deliberately said outside the yard how the lady of the Peony Garden won the queen's favor and how much reward she got!"

"Shut up!" Liu Xinyue scolded the wet nurse and said angrily, "Who allows you to talk nonsense in front of the Marquis?"

The wet nurse hurriedly knelt down and said, "This slave is just aggrieved for the madam!"
