In Ruyi Courtyard, Mrs. Wang brought hot water to help Old Mrs. An wash up. Looking at Old Mrs. An's sad expression, she couldn't help but comfort her: "Are you thinking about what Miss Third said?"

Just now, the third lady took the old lady away and said something incredible to the old lady in a deserted area.

The third lady said that the fourth young master was not as simple as he appeared, and asked the old lady to believe her and not to embarrass the fourth young master too much.

"Have you noticed that Chen'er's appearance is very different when he comes back this time? Have you ever seen a boy of Chen'er's age grow so strong?" Mrs. An frowned and thought about Gu Qingchen's appearance. What did she think? How wrong.

Mrs. Wang did not answer, but Lihua said innocently: "I heard that people in the frontier grew up eating beef and mutton and were taller than people in other places."

"It's all hearsay, how can we take it seriously." Mrs. Wang agreed: "The fourth young master is indeed taller than his peers, but it seems normal to me. Does the old lady know about the Guo family in the south city of Yangzhou? Young master Guo is only seven or eight years old. He is as tall as a teenager at the age of 18. After all, the fourth young master is not the general's biological son, so it is not unusual."

"Yes, that makes sense." Old Mrs. An nodded: "Yan Yatou won't say this to me for no reason. You should find someone to check and see if Chen'er has something to hide."

Mrs. Wang nodded, waited for Mrs. An to rest, closed the door and made arrangements lightly.

After a night of silence, Mrs. An arranged for An Jinshu and Gu Qingchen to prepare for their trip to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city.

Unexpectedly, someone came to the palace before they left. Everyone in the An family thought that the person was here to announce an edict to summon Gu Qingchen to the palace to face the saint. Unexpectedly, the person got off his horse and handed over a brocade box, indicating that this was the reward that was missed last time, and this time it was special. Come make up for it.

Compensation reward?

Everyone in the An family looked at each other, this was something they had never heard of or seen before. Last time, the front yard of the An family was almost filled with all the rewards, but today they came to tell them that there were some omissions, and even came here to make up for them.

It's okay for this to spread out. How can he be so virtuous as to be able to win this honor? This is not something that has to be the target of public criticism and make all the aristocratic families suspicious.

People like An Ruhe and An Jinran who can take charge of the overall situation have been promoted. Now only the Qu family and Mrs. An can make the decision in the An family.

Mrs. Qu supported Mrs. An and went forward to thank the Holy Grace and accepted the reward. Mrs. Wang stepped forward with a wink and stuffed a heavy purse into the father-in-law's purse.

The father-in-law pretended to refuse at first, but Mrs. Wang stuffed it into his hand with unstoppable enthusiasm. The father-in-law finally took it smoothly, with a smile that turned into slits in his eyes. It was so heavy that it was probably dozens of taels.

This An family is indeed as generous and polite as his godfather said.

After collecting the money, he had to do something practical. Such a favor from the Holy One might frighten the An family. He smiled and said, "You can keep this thing with peace of mind. The Ministry of Internal Affairs took stock of it a while ago." Such omissions were made due to lack of manpower, and the Holy Majesty is busy with state affairs and such trivial matters will not disturb His Majesty's purity."

What this means is that there was an omission in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After discovering it today, they hurriedly came to make up for it. The Holy Emperor didn't know about it at all. How can such a trivial matter need to be arranged by the king of a country? Don't worry.

After receiving this reply, Mrs. An and Mrs. Qu were visibly relieved. It turned out to be like this, which really made them worry for a while, fearing that the emperor had some intentions, and it turned out that they were too worried.

Old Mrs. An winked at Mrs. Wang again, and Mrs. Wang stepped forward and stuffed a slightly smaller purse into her.

"I trouble my father-in-law to make this trip. This is my small tribute to the An family. I invite my father-in-law and his subordinates to drink tea and enjoy music. I hope that my father-in-law will not refuse."

"Oh, the old lady is too polite." The young father-in-law said happily, "In this case, the Zajia family would like to thank the old lady for her kindness. There are still important matters in the palace, so the Zajia family will not stay here any longer. Please stay."

"Lihua, go see your father-in-law off." Mrs. An ordered.

Lihua nodded in agreement and hurriedly went to see her off.

After the palace group left, Mrs. An and her group returned to the lobby. When they opened the brocade box, everyone's eyes lit up.

A crown with golden silk and blue and white carved cranes. The whole crown is carefully carved with complicated and simple patterns. The flying cranes are carved on the front and back, either standing or standing. It is extremely exquisite and elegant.

Such a green and white hair crown requires polishing and carving from a whole piece of sapphire. In addition, the hairpin requires more materials, so its value cannot be overestimated.

This crown is one of the rewards. It doesn't matter who to give it to.

Mrs. An looked at the green and white jade crown and raised her eyes to the young man not far away. At this moment, she seemed to see the man in the palace in a trance.

A terrible thought spread in her mind, and she couldn't help but clutch the hand of Mrs. Wang next to her.

The Holy One has been looking for the lost prince, could it be...

The more she thought about it, the more likely it was, and she hurriedly whispered to Mrs. Wang: "Go and check on the emperor's search for the prince. It's best to get the prince's specific age and appearance."

Mrs. Wang understood it, but she felt that her old lady was a little unfounded and wanted to give her some advice. This fourth young master was brought back from the frontier fortress. How could he be the noble prince? However, there were so many people around now that she had to endure it.

An Jinshu looked at the jade crown in the brocade box and felt it looked familiar. She thought for a while and suddenly her eyes darkened.

When he captured Anjia at night, he must have been wearing this jade crown.

An Jinshu's body was as stiff as ice, so as she guessed, was he going to regain his identity? Since this jade crown appeared above his head on the night he ascended the throne, it must have some special meaning.

But Wen Heng hasn't sent the message back yet, is she still in time?

In fact, An Jinshu was really overthinking this time. Emperor Yuan'an sent this jade crown to have a special meaning, but it was not because he wanted to recognize Qing Chen.

Gu Qingchen is now getting older, the remaining poison in his body has been cured, and he has reached the point where he is weak, but he has not performed the crowning ceremony. He knows that the situation is special, but as a father, it is inevitable for him to be selfish, so he still wants to give the best to the other person and let the other person know that even if everything is If a person does not know it, he will not forget it.

Although he did not catch up with Gu Qingchen's birthday, the gift arrived even though it was late.

Everyone had different thoughts and soon dispersed.

Gu Yao came to visit at noon and delivered gifts to Gu Qingchen. After hearing that they were going to the outskirts of the city to escape the summer heat, she told her to go too.

Mrs. An will not agree easily. Gu Yao is the princess and has a distinguished status. If something goes wrong, the An family cannot bear this responsibility.

Gu Yao refused to give up and hurried home to play coquettishly and cry with Ge. She thought Ge would relent, but Ge reprimanded her severely and locked her in the courtyard.

An Jinshu couldn't laugh or cry when she learned the news that Gu Yao was locked up again. Whose princess was locked up at home like her all day long.

However, she was really uneasy, and An Jinshu understood Ge Shi somewhat. After all, Ge Shi was still afraid that Gu Yao would go with them and cause trouble to them. An Jinshu thought about it and wrote a letter and handed it to Hong Li, calling Hong Li. Carp was sent to Prince Duan's Mansion.
