The old concubine, that is, my grandmother.

When she was in Gaohu, she also asked businessmen who had visited Beijing.

It is said that the mother of the county king Jiang Yuanchen is the old concubine Liu, who was also the noble concubine when she was in the palace, and she was only one step away from the later position.

It's a pity that due to the palace incident, Jiang Yuanchen, who was most favored by the late emperor, did not become the emperor, but only a small county king.

The mother is more expensive by the child, and the mother is inferior by the child. The imperial concubine who was once favored by the scenery has just become a dowager who lives in the palace for the elderly.

But judging from the attitude of these maidservants towards the return of the old dowager, at least the status of the old dowager in the palace can be seen.

Li Xibao walked leisurely to his tea garden, thinking that his mother would tell her what to do.

Who knew that as soon as she stepped into the door of the tea garden, she saw Jiang Wanhua and Jiang Yuhua standing there impatiently.

Saw her come back.

Jiang Yuhua frowned, "Where have you been? Why are you only here now? Do you know that the old concubine has already returned?"

"I'm going out for a walk."

"You are really good. You walked for almost a day. Those who didn't know thought you were lost. If you lost it, our palace would be ashamed."

"What are you looking for me for?"

"It's not us looking for you, it's the old concubine looking for you, come with us."

Inexplicably, Jiang Yuhua asked Li Xibao to follow them, and didn't even give her time to change a piece of clothing.

Li Xibao didn't fight or snatch, and followed them politely until they entered the Fushouyuan.

In Fushou Yuan, all the masters have arrived, including Murong Yan.

When Murong Yan saw Li Xibao, she quickly waved to her, "Qinghua, come quickly and stay with mother."

Li Xibao looked into the main room, and there was a rich old man with gray hair sitting there. The old man's head was covered with jewels and emeralds, especially the golden step in the center, which shone brightly under the refraction of the sun.

It's really extravagant, and the aura is captivating.

Concubine Jin was waiting on the side, serving tea and pouring water, while hammering her shoulders, "Old concubine, we are looking forward to you back. You are not in the palace these days, and our palace seems to have lost its vitality."

The old concubine smiled, "You just have this nice mouth."

"As long as the concubine's mouth can make the old concubine happy, it will not be in vain."

The crowd burst into laughter.

At this time, Concubine Jin saw Li Xibao, "By the way, old concubine, Princess Qinghua has also been found."

Concubine Jin said, and waved to Li Xibao, "Qinghua, come here quickly, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

Li Xibao stepped forward with lotus steps, and saluted, "Qinghua has seen the old concubine, good luck to the old concubine."

The old concubine heard the sound, looked up, and the smile on her face faded, "You are Qinghua."

The old concubine was so indifferent, Li Xibao himself could understand.

After all, the Jin side concubine was the one who had the final say in the palace, and the Jin side concubine naturally didn't say anything good about herself in front of the old dowager.

Since she grew up in the countryside again, the old concubine probably didn't take her seriously at all.

Li Xibao only acted obediently, "Yes."

"Well, I heard that your mother found you before."

"Yes."

"But why didn't you come back?" The old concubine's tone turned out to be somewhat blaming.

"Old concubine, she has been living in the country before Qinghua." Jiang Yuhua ran over and said, "She is a country person, and she doesn't know anything about the rules here. I guess the princess sent someone to teach her well. Let her come back."

"Is that so?" the old lady asked.

The princess in the palace is not an ordinary girl, she represents the face of the palace, if she really can't do it, it's useless to have another princess in the palace.

"No." Li Xibao denied it in a soft voice, "Although I was in the countryside when I was a baby, but later, my adoptive parents did a good job in business and have already reached Wanzhou. So I didn’t come back because I couldn’t bear the kindness my adoptive parents gave me to raise me, and I came back by their side to accompany them.”

"Oh, so you are quite filial."

"But she's not a country girl, so why would she run around?" Jiang Yuhua said again: "Just now we went to the tea garden to look for her, only to find out that she ran out, and even the maidservant couldn't find her after running out for several hours. The concubine is waiting here."

"I didn't go running around. I just didn't grow up in the capital since I was a child, and I didn't stay with the old concubine and my mother. I just went out for a walk when I had time, and wanted to prepare some small gifts for the old concubine and my mother."

Hearing this, Concubine Jin interjected, "So, did you go out to show your face and buy gifts?"

"Yes, although I can ask the servants to buy it. But after all, it is the first gift I gave, I always feel that it would be more sincere to go in person, after all, I am afraid that the servants will not understand me."

Li Xibao answered the questions at a leisurely pace, with sincerity and sincerity at every step, and blocked the pits those guys dug for her.

Now that she came back, she also knew to bring a gift to her old lady, which made the old concubine look at her more, and the old concubine signaled to Concubine Jin not to beat her back.

"Then what did you buy back?"

"I don't have much silver. My aunt gave me 200 taels after I came back, so I can't buy expensive ones. I can only say that the gift is light and the affection is heavy. It is two hairpins."

"This one is just for my mother. It's a peony hairpin. This one is just for the old concubine. It's a wishful hairpin. I hope the old concubine will be happy and live a long and healthy life."

Li Xibao presented the Ruyi hairpin in front of the old concubine with both hands.

The old concubine took it over and took a look, "Well, you have a good eye, this hairpin is good in color and meaning, Min Lan, help me put it on and have a look."

"Hey." Concubine Jin agreed, and inserted the hairpin into the old concubine's hair.

"Well, it's so pretty."

"The old concubine's appearance is meandering, not worse than when she was young. Naturally, she looks good in everything she wears."

"Hehehe." The old concubine smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, then, my old lady will thank Qinghua. Come on, give Qinghua a pair of my jade bracelets."

A pair of icy white jade bracelets was brought to Li Xibao, and Li Xibao took it with both hands, "Thank you, old concubine, you are so kind to me, old concubine."

The old concubine smiled, and took one more look at Li Xibao, "You look really good-looking."

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuhua's complexion sank from behind.

Bah, a country girl is just trying to curry favor with an old woman, what's the big deal.

Although Jiang Wanhua didn't show any emotion, the handkerchief in his hand was tightened a bit.

She has also liked this pair of jade bracelets for a long time. She thought she would get them when she was old, but she gave them to Jiang Qinghua!
