"No, no!" Red Jade's face turned red from my question and she quickly waved her hands.

"Grandma said that we're not young anymore, so we should have a child soon …" Although she was shy, her smile was filled with sweetness.

"Then I'll make some clothes for big sister!" Hong Chang finished pouring the tea and sat on the small Wooden Pellet next to me with a smile.

"It's useless!" Red Jade held a small silver knife, slowly sharpening a large apple. "Which kid didn't grow up in a hundred clothes?"

It was said that a boy could give birth to a boy by resting his head on his childhood clothes.

At that time, I was pregnant. My pillow was the clothes of a daughter-in-law who had combed my hair when I was a child.

"If you serve the Old Ancestor well, then consider it as you helping me." Hong Yu smiled as she handed the peeled apple over to me.

We were laughing and talking when there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Hong Yu and I sat steadily without standing up, with only Hong Chang speaking as we walked towards the door.

"Is Miss here?" A calm male voice came from the door.

After a moment's thought, I knew who it was.

Other than Liu Lang, who else could a man enter the inner chamber?

"Sir, is something the matter?" Hong Chang's tone was polite yet warm.

It could be seen that people like Liu Lang and Lan Xin were smart people who could read people's hearts.

Otherwise, from the moment his grandmother came down to Hong Chang, they would all be courteous to him but carry a sense of intimacy with him!

"I would like to speak a few words with Miss, may I trouble Miss to pass on a message?" The steady male voice was very gentle.

"Sir, please wait."

It seemed like Mother Du did not tell Hong Chang about the Calming Incense.

Not long later, Hong Chang returned to me, and asked me with a smile: "Miss, Liu Lang, the person who often takes care of the Old Ancestor, would like to see you."

I took a sip of the tea in front of me, and raised my head to look at Hong Chang: "Go and tell him that the servant girl in my courtyard isn't feeling well, and told him to come and take a look at my courtyard."

I mean it's not convenient to talk here. Let him wait in my yard.

Hong Chang laughed and nodded, then turned and left the room.

"The Old Ancestor promoted his servant husband to his shop. In the future, this servant will probably have to visit the Old Granny often."

The internal rules of the Yang family was that wives from the storehouse and above could not work in the inner chamber.

Hong Yu looked at Hong Chang's back with a hint of happiness.

See the future full of hope, even if reminiscing about the old days, is not too sad!

"Miss, Liu Lang left!" Hong Chang replied respectfully with a smile: "Your two younger sisters have come over!"

It was about the green bandits and the orchids.

"Miss, why did you come here?" Both the green bandit and Lan Li had a cheerful smile on their faces, especially Lan Li. Her round face was as red as an apple.

"Who are you guys messing around with?" I smiled and moved into the kang, and Lan Ling sat down beside me.

A strange look flashed past Hong Chang's eyes, and she laughed without any change in her expression.

They probably never thought that we, the master and the servant, would get along so casually, right?

"What's there to guess?" Hong Yu laughed lightly: "Seeing how happy both of them are, you should know that they must have gone to Hong Wen to tease her!"

Lan Yu tugged on my sleeve, smiling as she glanced at Hong Yu who was sitting on the other side of me. "It's still all because of you, everyone knows about our accident!"

Li Cheng was the eldest son of the family, while everyone else was referring to the red jade.

"Girl, you're too mischievous!" Hong Yu pointed at Lan Lingyun and said with a smile: "I want to see if I can become a powerful mother-in-law in the future, plus a few sharp tongue-in-cheek sister-in-law, I won't even be considered as finished!"

Lan Ling only giggled at me.

"Elder sister Hong Wen, are you going out?"

Lan Lin and the green bandit's marriage is my heart, intuitive, I do not want to mention this matter.

"That's right!" Red Jade began to peel apples from time to time. "It was a child's marriage since young. Now, we have made a second account at Fangqin Temple."

Fangqin Zhai was a middle-class teahouse. There were even some teahouses and snacks in it. It was a place many ladies liked to visit.

Previously, I thought my grandmother wanted to assign the red lines to Zhou Hundred Wood, but instead, it turned out to be a double embroidery.

"From the tone of our old lady, it seems like the embroidery ladies in the concubine's room are going to talk about her as well."

As luck would have it, Red Jade was handing over an apple to the green bandit.

My heart skipped a beat, but I didn't dare show it.

"That's a tough one, too." Red Jade sighed.

"Obviously, her family didn't even need two coins from her to attend the wedding. I just wanted to see her future, but I didn't expect that she would be married off in such a hurry!"

Good prospects?

When he thought of the delicate and pretty appearance of the double embroidery, which was as tranquil as a distant mountain, compared to Aunt Chen, it could be said to be even better.

She contacted the place where she was working previously. Her father's study was quiet in the middle of the night. It was a great opportunity to scheme for a "good future".

But not only was she not taken in by her father, she was even sent in as a trustworthy maid to take care of Aunt Chen who was pregnant.

Even though her status had not risen, she seemed to have done it willingly.

These words were in line with the words of an outsider watching the show.

When she was in the outer room, if she wanted to take that step, there was no reason not to.

He had originally thought that the double embroidery was just a simple act of self-respect, but now it seemed that he was rather bold and insightful.

"I've visited her a few times, but she was still a fool and didn't say anything." Red Jade was still chattering about the 'pitiful' double embroidery.

"Miss, the Old Ancestor is about to get up." Hong Chang suddenly interrupted Hong Yu.

"Only now..." Hong Yu stopped talking. She smiled and agreed, "That's true. I've only been away from the old lady for a few days and I've even forgotten the hour!"

It wasn't that she had forgotten the time, but that she had become more acute.

Although she did not know why Hong Chang interrupted her, but she knew that something was amiss with her words.

"Then let's go!" Smiling, I got up and left the room, escorted by four maids.

Through the window screen, he could hear the laughter of the ladies inside.

Lanxin, dressed in a peach pimple, was sitting on a brocade mat, kneading Grandmother's legs. She raised her head and said something to Grandmother, who was leaning on the kang.

The noon sunlight slanted onto the center of Lan Xin's body. It was as white as jade and it was suffused with a healthy pink color.

Yuan Yuan's long eyebrows, slightly raised eyebrows, eyes like stars, a straight nose, and lips like water caltrops slightly pouted, as if she was acting coquettishly.

Grandmother looked at Lan Xin, who was sitting below her, lovingly. A pair of white hands quickly flew on her legs. There was a quiet contentment on Grandmother's face.

"Cousin!" I smiled and called to Lanxin, who was concentrating on my grandmother's massage.

"You're here!" Lanxin smiles at me and nods like the warm April sun.

"Come sit here!" Grandmother did not even move as she patted the spot beside her with a smile. "The clothes you chose for your cousin are really not bad!"

When did I pick out her clothes?

I couldn't help but look back at Lan Xin.

Her hair was loosely tied up and a few strands of black hair hung down from her temples. She mischievously jumped at the side of her face, looking fresh and refined along with a bit of charm.

Next to her ear was a pair of gold leaf earrings, reflecting a changing light as she moved.

The upper part of her body was covered with a pink square collar with bright yellow teeth, the bottom part with a water-grasses ginger-yellow horseface skirt, and the waist with a halibut bag. The red tassels underneath were scattered around the hem of her skirt. The red embroidered shoes were embroidered with a pair of butterflies dancing in the wind.

It had the serenity of orchids and the gentleness of peonies.

"That's still because of cousin's good birth!"

I smiled and sat down with Grandmother, watching as Lanxin changed sides and massaged Grandmother.

The smile on her face made her look exceptionally obedient.

Grandmother seemed to be very happy with Lan Xin by her side. Most of the words were always from Grandmother. Lan Xin either agreed with a faint smile or added a few witty words, but Grandmother felt very happy with them.

I just sat there like an outsider.

It was very good for me to have my grandmother's love for Lanxin, but for some reason I felt a little hollow inside.

This feeling continued into the evening. After having dinner with her grandmother, she accompanied Lan Xin out of the main courtyard.

"I just lost control of my emotions."

The sun was setting in the west, bringing with it a brilliant afterglow. But no matter how she looked at the side of her face, she seemed a little lonely.

"For what?"

Since there were emotional ups and downs, it naturally had to do with the one whom they loved, which was why it was so hard for people to take it to heart.

Did something happen to King Qi?

"Because those who are unworthy of him have him." Lan Xin's face was completely lonely.

It suddenly occurred to me that while the Pray King might not end well in the future, it would be good to enjoy this last moment.

Even if the sun goes down soon, you can enjoy the beauty of the setting sun.

A moth flying into a flame might not be unaware of the dangers involved, but he yearned for the warmth that he hadn't felt in a long time.

"This moment does not represent eternity."

Somehow, I just said it.

Lan Xin pursed her lips and smiled. The bitterness in her smile was on the verge of overflowing.

"Indeed, it's just that he's been using me from beginning to end."

"The person who occupied his place in his heart is long gone, so no one can replace her."

"Even though she got that position, she still didn't get his heart."

After saying that, the Crown Prince's face turned ashen, and he started laughing out loud.

"Even you can't do it!"

Lan Xin stared at me intently and said the last sentence word by word.

I smiled bitterly.

Although Prince Qi treated me differently, but to say that he loved me, it was far from enough!

Removing the veil of love, I am but a chess piece in his hands, at his mercy!

"Cousin should rest early!"

It was said that the smarter a person was, the more likely they were to fall into the trap of obsessions.

It seemed that what he said was true.

Since I can't comfort Lan Xin, I'll save this effort.

Right now, I have a big problem in my house called "Liu Lang Zhong"!

"Let's go!" I turned around and instructed the two maidservants who were standing behind me.

Although Lan Xin was able to please my grandmother and mother Du, she was never able to get the approval of the two maidservants by my side.

For some reason, the two of them seemed to reject Lan Xin.

They bowed slightly to Lan Xin and followed me out of the courtyard.

Lan Xin stood under the blazing sunset. Her face was obscured, but her sharp eyes stared directly at him through the orange air, pressing down on him so hard that he couldn't breathe.

When teasing, when gentle, when serious, and when sharp, how many faces did this woman have?
