Chapter 731 A Little Profit!

and led the way ahead, seizing an opportunity to discreetly slip a pouch into Feng Gonggong's hand."Father-in-law, our master rarely enters the palace. If there are any oversights, please advise us."M...Li Lao's eyes widened in surprise, Jia Yin quickly said: "Did your father-in-law bring people back"

"That's right, reckoning the days, your stepfather hasn't been back for a while. Make two of his favorite dishes tonight!"

As they were talking, a group of people arrived at the door, and to their surprise, it was Feng Gong who got off the carriage.

Mr. Feng was well-acquainted with the Li family, so he smiled and stepped forward to greet them, saying: "Oh my, Madam Li, Miss Li, you shouldn't have bothered to come out and meet me."

"Old slave has come today to present a gift to the County Princess!

"

The Emperor and Empress were just chatting, saying that since the Third Princess made friends with the County Lady, she has become more cheerful and lively, and also more dutiful and filial.

The Emperor and Empress were both delighted, and specially chose some fine things from the storeroom for this old slave to bring.

He then whispered to Jia Yin, "These are all things the county princess likes."

Everyone guessed it was gold and couldn't help but laugh along.

For a moment, Feng Gonggong was led into the room for tea.

Mr. Feng didn't require the Li family to kneel and receive the gifts. He simply held up the list of rewards with both hands.

After drinking half a cup of tea and eating an orange, the little eunuch and guards also carried everything into the courtyard. Then, Feng Gonggong took his leave.

Jia Yin, of course, couldn't let him go back empty-handed. Besides the necessary payment for his hard work, she also gave the emperor two baskets of fruit and vegetables.

I also supplemented Mr. Feng with a basket of oranges, and I didn't forget Manager Yi either. Please ask Mr. Feng to bring a basket of grapes as well.

Such thorough and thoughtful care from Jia Yin touched Feng Gong's heart, leaving him feeling both comforted and joyful. He returned with a bright smile on his face.

After the convoy drove away, everyone returned to the courtyard.

Old Mrs. Li ignored the gifts and, grabbing her granddaughter's hand, began to "interrogate" her.

"Funiuer, tell me the truth, did you go adventuring again Otherwise, how would the Emperor reward you with so many things"

Having said that, she recalled the strangeness of the past few days and added, "I've been thinking about your two older brothers. They've been dazed and confused these days, and I even forgot to ask you, did they cause any trouble at the Princess Mansion's flower viewing banquet"

"Is something the matter You're still carrying the bead, didn't you get tricked out of it"

"Oh, Grandma!" Jiayin felt guilty and quickly hugged her grandmother's arm, shaking it and acting coquettishly to protest.

"Grandma, how could you think so much about your precious granddaughter! When did your granddaughter ever get into trouble And Zhuzhu is fine too, not a single hair on her head is missing!"

Li Laotai obviously didn't believe her granddaughter's words, raising her chin and pointing around the courtyard, her meaning was very clear.

If nothing is wrong, why would the palace give so many rewards

Jia Yin was speechless. She glanced at Wen Fu and Wen Juan, who shared her confusion. Fortunately, Tao Hongying and Li Lao Si knew some of the inside story and remained relatively calm.

She thought about it for a moment, then briefly explained the situation.

Bao Lei wants to frame me and the third princess, sending us both to the flower viewing banquet. She plans to lure us into consuming that hibiscus cream.

"I pretended to feel sick and vomited, soiling the Third Princess's clothes. "

I took the opportunity to leave with the pearl, and the Third Princess also found her clothes dirty and went back to the palace. Therefore, we were not deceived.

But many noble ladies were seduced by Bao La, and I secretly went to tell my godfather, who then went into the palace to tell the emperor.

Just now, Mountain Uncle returned from the city and said that he led his troops into the city last night and raided Yaochi and the mansion of Princess Chang overnight. Many young masters and ladies were implicated, and the city was in chaos.

"These gifts are perhaps from the Emperor and Empress as thanks for saving the Third Princess!"

Everyone listened, their eyes wide with astonishment. They had no idea so much had happened yesterday.

Li Laotai wouldn't blame her granddaughter anymore, she held her tightly and felt remorse.

"You little wretch, when will you ever stop worrying your family! You just go to a flower viewing party and manage to get yourself into all this trouble! From now on, stay home honestly and behave. If you dare to run around again, I'll break your legs."

Jiayin hid in grandma's arms, making silly faces secretly.

Grandma has always been all talk and no action. If she kept every promise she made, her little chubby legs would have broken a hundred times over.

Everyone saw that the plump girl had no fear at all, it was really hard to say whether she was reckless or admire her courage.

At this time, Li Laoer also returned from the city.

He attended the impromptu meeting himself, so he has firsthand information.

He recounted everything in detail, of course omitting any mention of the entanglement between pear blossoms and sea holly, or the tale that the Master of Ceremonies and his sister-in-law were forced to tell.

Once everyone knew the ins and outs of the situation, they finally felt relieved.

While they were talking, Jia Yin had already taken the gift list and, like a mouse that had fallen into a rice vat, burrowed headfirst into the center of the box. She happily tore it open.

"Oh my, the Empress is so stingy! I saved her daughter's life, and this is all she gives me A set of gold jewelry Her daughter must be cheap in her eyes!"

"Haha, Grandpa Huang still understands me. This solid gold collar is too heavy! It's probably half a jin."

"Oh, this set of jade jewelry is beautiful! It would be perfect for Grandma to wear!"

Jia Yin kept flipping through the pages while chattering to herself, getting herself excited and making everyone else chuckle with amusement.

Mrs. Li couldn't help but urge, "Funiu'er, Baozhu was terrified following you this time. Choose two things she likes, and have someone send them to her tomorrow."

"Got it, Grandma. She's my best friend, I could never forget her!" Jiayin replied with a smile, looking like a loyal and righteous older sister, which made everyone laugh even more.

Tao Hongying sighed, "The Bao family's guts must be ruined. They have to find our fat girl to do what! "

"Now they've not only wronged our plump little girl, but they've implicated the entire mansion of a hundred mouths!"

Li Laotai also nodded, her expression quite proud.

"My little Fu Niu'er is very lucky. Anyone who treats her well will be rewarded. Those who dare to harm her will never have a good ending."

After a silent night, on the second day, after breakfast, they lingered for a while. Jia Yin found a box and packed a footrest for Baozhu.

This walking stick is made of five-colored pearl jewels and silk thread, with a piece of emerald green vine flower ornament in the middle. At the bottom hang several strands of colorful tassels. It's really bright and beautiful.

I'm sure Baozhu will be delighted and scream with joy upon receiving it!

Besides this dancing step, there is also a pair of phoenix-shaped gold hairpins and a pair of red gem-encrusted beaded bracelets.

These two items can be put into Madam Jia's dowry for Baozhu, both festive and valuable.

Finally, Jia Yin also gave Bao Zhu a set of twelve palace fans and a string of exquisite Canaan incense prayer beads.

Li Laotai looked and was very satisfied.

She had a strong personality. Living most of her life, the only debts she owed were from others to her. She never owed anyone anything or felt sorry for anyone.

This time, Bohju felt very uneasy because of Jia Yin's dangerous situation.

Put yourself in her shoes. If her granddaughter had been implicated and nearly endangered, she would probably be furious and cut off all ties.

But the Jia family wasn't like that, which made her even more displeased.vealing his muscular upper body.Perhaps years of wind and sun exposure, his chest and back were the color of bronze, occasionally with a few scars that crisscrossed like shining medals.A soldier stepp...
