    Hua Xi got up and freshened up a little, put on a plain white dark-grained tapestry jacket and a crepe skirt of the same color. She didn¡¯t put any makeup on her face, so she asked Hongliu to hold an oil-paper umbrella and walked out of the courtyard.

    The sun was scorching hot, making the ground very hot.  Where there is no shade, you can feel the heat of the sun through the oil-paper umbrella.

    By the time they arrived at Hexiangyuan, Huaxi¡¯s forehead was already covered with fine sweat.  Standing still and wiping the sweat from his forehead, the maid Cha Xiang beside the old lady came up to greet her and bowed.

    "The sun is too hot. Girl, please go inside and take a rest."

    Hua Xi nodded in return and asked, "Is there anyone else in the old lady's room?"

    Cha Xiang replied: "After lunch, I took a nap, and my uncle and wife of the Xiao family came. Miss Xiao Wu was pointed out to the King of Thailand by the Queen Mother, and my uncle and wife came to report a message to the old lady. She was still talking in the room at this moment.  . The old lady is looking for someone to call you over. Mother Wang is waiting in the room, and there is no one else around."

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? With incense and purses, etc., Huaxi often stuffs the maids of the old lady like Cha Xiang, and it comes in handy now.

    "Thank you so much, Sister Chaxiang! Dingxiang told me last time that her sister's embroidery is good. I just got a few purses and the patterns are pretty good. When I have time, come sit in my yard and help me see how to embroider."

    Cha Xiang smiled and agreed.

    While talking, they had already arrived at the main room of the inner courtyard, and Cha Xiang sang outside the door: "Miss Huaxi comes to say hello to the old lady."

    Mother Wang came out and took Hua Xi directly to the inner room.

    "Old madam, uncle and madam, the girl from Huaxi is here."

    Hua Xi walked into the inner room, and the old lady and a woman were sitting on the Kang talking. The woman was in her forties, her hair was not messy, she had a bun with two silver phoenix wings and plain silver hairpins on her body.  Wearing an azure lake silk dress with dark lotus patterns, her face is like a full moon. Although her eyebrows are stained by wind and frost, she can still see the unique charm of the past.

    Hua Xi came in and bowed, Mrs. Xiao introduced her, "This is your uncle's wife, come here to see her. This is the girl I told you about Xiang Wan."

    Hua Xi was slightly surprised by Xiao's lack of taboo.

    "Huaxi wishes my uncle and wife well!"

    "Good boy, get up quickly and come here to show me." Mrs. Zhao got off the kang and pulled Huaxi close to her. She looked over and over again. She reached out and took off a string of beeswax beads from her wrist and put it on Huaxi's hand.  "My uncle and my wife didn't bring you any greeting gifts, so just keep them!"

    Huaxi looked at Mrs. Xiao and saw her nodding in agreement. She knelt down and said, "Thank you, uncle and madam."

    "Okay! Look at the little appearance, it's really annoying. If you put it in anyone's home, you have to hold it in the palm of your hand to avoid being wronged."

    Mrs. Zhao smiled so hard that her eyebrows were crooked, and her eyes were exactly the same as Xiao Wu's.

    ¡°I praise you on the surface, but actually I mean something else.  It's true that one kind of rice can feed hundreds of kinds of people, and what kind of family can raise a daughter.

    The moment Hua Xi lowered her head shyly, she caught a glimpse of anger flashing in Mrs. Xiao's eyes.

    "Yes! Although Huaxi grew up in the mountains, she is not inferior to the girls in the house. Her ability to mix fragrances is also among the best. The best thing about this child is honesty and filial piety. When he heard that I had a headache, he rushed to help me.  Nong Xiang. It¡¯s too late for me to love her. I¡¯m really afraid that she will be bullied by others when she gets married. In a few days, I¡¯m going to ask a nun who has retired from the palace to train her well.¡±

    Zhao's expression changed.

    They also knew exactly what the Mu family had planned at the beginning. Whoever entered the palace was not entering?  Although the Mu family set up the relationship with Princess Tai, they did not put down the right words and turned around and talked about leaving the prince's family.  Since these are directed at his family, he naturally cannot miss this opportunity.

    Besides, Xiao Wu¡¯s matter has been settled now. With Huaxi¡¯s identity, the Mu family thinks that if she follows him, it will only be a common roommate or something like that.  Originally there was no problem with more than one person, but after hearing what Xiao Wu said about Hua Xi's appearance and character, and the fact that the incense recipe was made by her, it was even more unreasonable for people to follow her into the palace.

    She came here today just to find out if she could suppress the matter. She thought her sister-in-law would be angry, but she didn't expect her sister-in-law to smile and chat with her. However, she didn't continue the conversation and turned around to call someone over.  She was afraid that Mrs. Xiao would be the one to bring up the matter, so she tried to suppress Mrs. Xiao first. She didn't expect that Mrs. Xiao would ask for help from Aunt Xi.  She knew that the nuns who had retired from the palace could not be invited just by asking. Only princes and ministers could invite them, and those who came only taught the daughters of the family. Mrs. Xiao was ready to let Huaxi return to the clan.

    Xiangfang¡¯s matter was already in the wrong, so he looked even more like a villain.

    The corners of Zhao's lips were a little stiff, "This is something that no one else can ask for. The old lady really loves Huaxi."

    Huaxi couldn¡¯t hear the sharpness in the words of the two sisters. She took advantage of the situation and pretended to be moved. With tears in her eyes, she said: "Old Madam??Huaxi, Huaxi is in my heart.  When her mother was still alive, she always said that she couldn't stay with you for a few more years. Huaxi doesn't want to think about anything now, she just wants to take good care of you and be filial to you. This can be regarded as fulfilling her filial piety for her mother and fulfilling her wish.  "

    Mrs. Xiao looked at Huaxi's face that was somewhat similar to Mu Xiangwan's. Thinking of her daughter who had been separated for more than ten years, her heart ached. She hugged Huaxi and choked up: "Good boy. It's rare for you to have such a childlike heart. Stay by your grandmother's side."  If you stay here for a few years, grandma will definitely not treat you badly."

    ¡°Half of these words were spoken with emotion, and the other half were meant for Mrs. Zhao.

    Mrs. Zhao was embarrassed on the sidelines, and twitched the corners of her lips to echo two auspicious words, but her tone was sour, and it didn't sound right no matter how hard it sounded.

    Mrs. Xiao did not get to know her in the same way anymore. She said a few words of greetings to Huaxi, and then turned the topic to Princess Luoxi.

    "The Chinese Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and it happens that the sixth day of the Lunar New Year is Princess Luoxi's birthday."

    Mrs. Zhao hurriedly chimed in, "I forgot about it, madam. I told him that he had asked someone to find Mr. Xi. Although the prince is not in Beijing now, he will definitely come back for the princess's birthday. Please come in advance."  I'll go to Mr. Xi's house with him in a few days, and on the birthday, I'll ask Mr. Xi to take him with him to the prince's house to give birthday gifts."

    Well, if I don¡¯t tell you, don¡¯t tell me.  First of all, I was worried about your precious granddaughter. I pretended to hide the matter, for fear that I would force someone to do it so that I could set out conditions in exchange.  You have done all the good things!  If the Hou Mansion is in trouble now, why would it be your turn to take Qiao here?

    Mrs. Xiao already looked down upon this cousin from her mother's clan, and now she was even more annoyed as to why her eldest brother had chosen such a wife in the first place.  But business was still important, and it would be easy to get angry on the spot, so I nodded in agreement.

    Mrs. Zhao knew that the old lady was annoyed with her, so she didn't dare to stay any longer. She said she would turn around and ask her husband to discuss it with the uncle and the old lady, then she stood up and left.

    After seeing Mrs. Zhao off, the old lady left Huaxi to talk.

    "I think you know about Xiao Wu." The old lady no longer looked kind as before, her expression was very serious.

    There was such a commotion in my yard, someone must have told the old lady that she knew about it.

    Hua Xi nodded, but didn¡¯t say much, waiting for the old lady to speak.

    "You grew up in the mountains and don't know these twists and turns. I think you are smart. Please be more careful about everything in the future. If you don't smile at you, you are good."

    "Huaxi can save it."

    Seeing her respect, the old lady nodded and said, "Huaxi, you know how to make incense. I'm thinking about adding some incense to my birthday gift this year. How about I leave this matter to you?"

    Huaxi promised, "Huaxi must obey the old lady's instructions. However, there are strict rules in the palace, and Huaxi doesn't know the princess's preferences and taboos, so she is afraid of making mistakes. Should I ask the eldest grandma to send someone familiar to explain it to Huaxi?"

    Mrs. Xiao looked at Hua Xi with satisfaction, "What you are thinking about is that you don't need to go to Grandma for this matter. I will let Mother Wang give you some advice. If you need anything, just tell Mother Wang directly."

    The two chatted a few more words, and the old lady sent Huaxi back.
