I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

Chapter 798: Going to the Palace to Discuss Gifts

Xiao Jingyi suppressed his anger and sat down again.

Then he touched Zhang Miaoying's lower back even harder, "Closer!"

Seeing that he was determined not to leave, Zhang Miaoying was too lazy to say anything more to him. She just silently moved inside, leaving about two feet of space outside.

Xiao Jingyi didn't even take off his outer robe, and fell directly onto the bed with his clothes on.

Xiao Jingyi's arm accidentally touched Zhang Miaoying. Zhang Miaoying quickly moved towards the bed as if avoiding something dirty.

Xiao Jingyi was furious. He turned his head and glared at Zhang Miaoying hatefully. He turned over, facing outward, folded his hands across his chest, and closed his eyes.

The autumn nights are bone-chillingly cold.

After lying down for a while, Xiao Jingyi felt cold all over. He reached out and pulled the quilt from Zhang Miaoying and covered himself with it. He ignored Zhang Miaoying who was so angry that she turned over and sat up, and closed his eyes.

As for whether he was asleep or not... only he knew.

Zhang Miaoying looked coldly at her so-called husband lying beside her, her heart now colder than the autumn night.

He reached out and pulled the other quilt over the bed, covered himself with it, and lay down on the bed again.

What does it mean to sleep in the same bed but have different dreams? This is what I am referring to right now between me and my so-called husband!

The gong sounded outside, and the night watchman's drum sounded in the distance. Three o'clock in the morning... four o'clock in the morning... Zhang Miaoying could hear it all clearly.

After a while, the voice of a maid came from outside, reminding Xiao Jingyi to attend the morning court.

After a while, there was a rustling sound behind him.

There was a sound of footsteps and Xiao Jingyi left.

Zhang Miaoying slowly turned around and lay flat on the couch, looking at the pale window, thinking that she was going to the palace today... She wondered if she could make it?

I submitted the petition yesterday. I wonder if the Empress can send someone to convey the message today, allowing my niece-in-law to enter the palace for an audience.

Zhang Miaoying hadn't slept all night and had been lying face down. Now she felt half of her body was numb.

Feeling tired, Zhang Miaoying thought of closing her eyes and resting. After a while, she actually fell asleep!

After eating vegetarian food at Qingguo Temple for three consecutive days, the Anguo family's weight loss was visibly noticeable, although not very obvious, but they did lose some weight.

After returning to the mansion, Leng Rongyue began to carefully prepare delicious meals for them from the next day. While letting them enjoy the delicious food, she also nourished their bodies.

It's the same today.

Early in the morning, crystal clear shrimp steamed dumplings, fresh meat dumplings and thick millet porridge were prepared;

The perfect companions for porridge are stir-fried shredded pork with pickled mustard greens and juicy salted duck eggs.

Accompanied by a few refreshing side dishes, the men, young and old, who were going to attend the morning court and the women who were going to the palace later in the day ate with a look of satisfaction.

After seeing off the men who entered the palace, Old Lady Xue took her two daughters-in-law and sat in the living room with her precious granddaughter in her arms, drinking tea, chatting about family matters, and talking about going to the palace to see the Queen Mother soon.

Madam Huo Chanyu poured her mother-in-law a cup of hot tea and asked softly, "Mother, you said we should go to the palace to express our gratitude today... Should we bring some gifts for the Empress?"

Yesterday, Eunuch Yu came to deliver the imperial edict, which was quite unexpected and sudden;

His Royal Highness Prince Yu has been staying in the mansion with us, so it is difficult to discuss this matter.

Yesterday, His Royal Highness Prince Yu left, and my wife saw that her parents looked a little tired, so she didn't mention the matter again.

There’s no rush. There’s still time to discuss it today.

Mom, you said this..."

The eldest lady looked at her mother-in-law, waiting to hear what she would say.

Hearing her daughter-in-law mention this first, Madam Xue smiled and nodded, "Mother was thinking about this yesterday!

I also discussed it with your father in the evening.

Your father said that the Queen is kind and generous, and never cares about these things, so just let us choose the gift carefully!"

“Choose a gift carefully?

We will definitely put some thought into choosing gifts!

But...what should we choose carefully?

Mother, sister-in-law, Yue'er, have you all decided on gifts?"

Second Madam Zheng Suyao thought about it and she had mentioned this matter to her husband last night.

However, as soon as she mentioned it, her husband replied directly: "Just listen to your mother and sister-in-law.

Otherwise, just listen to Yue'er."

The second lady thought...that's right!

It’s better to listen to mom and sister-in-law about this kind of thing. All you have to do is be obedient and follow them!

Maybe Yue'er has a better idea!

The Second Madam’s days in the Duke’s Mansion are always so worry-free and happy!

Thinking of her husband saying "Listen to mother, listen to sister-in-law, and you can also listen to Yue'er", the second wife looked directly at Leng Rongyue, "Yue'er, what do you think?

What kind of gift should we give that is the most thoughtful and can best express our feelings?

After all, the Empress is the mother of the country. The best things in the world are all in the palace. It wouldn't be surprising if we gave her anything, right? "

"We have something fresh!"

Leng Rongyue stood up from Old Madam Xue's arms and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Second Aunt, and Grandma and Eldest Aunt, don't worry anymore. Yue'er has some new things here, things that the Queen doesn't have!"
