After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

When Lin Qingyao came to the front hall, Butler Wang and his son Wang Junsheng were waiting at the door with their boys to welcome guests.

Logically speaking, Lin Qingyao doesn't have to greet guests in person, but there are a few important people she must greet in person today.

Today, her grandfather and grandmother will come to celebrate her grandmother's birthday in person, and Lin Qingyao is eager to see them.

In addition, the fifth princess Xiao Qingning will also come, and her close friends will naturally welcome her in person.

There is another person who is naturally her enemy, Xiao Jingyi.

Since she fell in love with Xiao Jingyi, Lin Qingyao would personally come to greet him every time the Zhongyong Hou Mansion held a banquet.

This time, of course, I have to pretend.

Just as Lin Qingyao was thinking about it, she heard the noise at the door. It was her grandparents who had arrived.

Lin Qingyao hurried forward to greet him.

A huge procession followed behind my maternal grandparents, and all members of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion came out to celebrate my grandmother's birthday.

Lin Qingyao held her grandmother's hand excitedly, "Grandpa, grandma, you are here."

Although the two old men are over fifty, they are both in good spirits.

My grandfather was a military commander. Even though he was old, his majesty was still there.

Grandma Liu came from a noble family. Although my grandfather was just a young military general, he was appreciated by my grandmother's father and married his precious daughter to her.

Facts have proved that he was right. After conquering the country with the late emperor, his grandfather was named Marquis of Wu'an and enjoyed a hereditary title, and his grandmother also became a marquise.

The two have a son and a daughter, who are Lin Qingyao's mother and uncle.

My uncle inherited the title of Marquis of Wu'an, married the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites, and had two sons and one daughter.

The eldest son, Prince Wu'an, married the legitimate daughter of Marquis Ningyuan. The wife of the prince was also the niece of Lin Qingyao's aunt Yan.

The old Marquis Wu'an and his wife were also very happy to see their granddaughter, and asked with a smile how she was doing.

Lin Qingyao did not tell them about her recent experiences, she only said that everything was fine.

"Cousin, you are so beautiful today!"

A boy of thirteen or fourteen appeared from behind his grandmother. This man was Li Zhehao, the youngest son of Uncle Lin Qingyao.

Although the boy is still childish, he is tall and tall, half a head taller than Lin Qingyao, and his handsome face has a bright smile that makes people unable to look away.

"Why are you so sweet today? I haven't seen you for a long time. Hao'er has grown taller again. My cousin has to look up to you now."

"That's right, I'm an adult now, cousin, don't always treat me like a child."

The two of them have a good relationship. Lin Qingyao always takes care of her cousin. In her eyes, he is just a child, although she is not much older than him.

"Sir? Whose master is always quarreling with other girls, and he won't let me go every time?"

Lin Qingyao thought of Li Zhehao quarreling with Xiao Qingning every time he met her, and joked.

"Why are you mentioning her again? We haven't dealt with each other since we were children. It's not like you don't know that she didn't come, right?"

When Xiao Qingning and Li Zhehao were mentioned, they became extremely angry.

The relationship between these two people can be traced back to their childhood.

When Lin Qingyao was a child, Aunt Lin Qingyao brought Li Zhehao to the palace to pay her respects. Because she and Xiao Qingning were similar in age, they were arranged to play together. Unexpectedly, the two got into a dispute over a plate of pastries and refused to give in. From then on, they formed a feud.

After all these years, the two still quarrel whenever they meet, which is really dumbfounding.

Lin Qingyao even doubted whether the two people were incompatible with each other. This trivial matter was worth arguing about.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingyao joked: "Not yet, but it should be soon. If you want to see her so much, why not wait for her here for a while?"

Li Zhehao waved his hands immediately after hearing this. He didn't want to make himself unhappy on this great day.

Lin Qingyao greeted everyone in Wu'an Hou Mansion one by one, and then sent a boy to lead them to the table.

Before Lin Qingyao could take a breath, several luxurious carriages stopped at the gate of the Hou Mansion.

The car at the front was one that Lin Qingyao was very familiar with. It was Xiao Qingning.

That means that that person has also arrived.

Lin Qingyao adjusted her breathing and prepared to welcome their arrival.

After all, these people are all relatives of the emperor and cannot be careless.

Lin Qingyao saw Xiao Qingning's figure from a distance. The girl was wearing a pink rosy brocade satin skirt with a bright and moving smile. She was holding another girl's arm and walking slowly towards her.

The other girl was slightly older than Xiao Qingning, wearing a lake blue dress, with a smile on her face, and her smile was as warm as the winter sun.

This girl is also an acquaintance of Lin Qingyao and is the princess of Mingyue Princess.

Princess Mingyue's name is Xiao Mingyue. She is the legitimate daughter of Prince Huai, the younger brother of the Emperor of Qi. She is lively, laughing, and has a straightforward personality.

In fact, Lin Qingyao had only met Xiao Mingyue once with Xiao Qingning before, and was not familiar with her.

The reason why we say they are acquaintances is because in the previous life, Princess Mingyue married her second brother and was her second sister-in-law.

In her previous life, she got married not long after she got married, and they didn't get along for long.

But Xiao Mingyue had a lively and straightforward personality and got along well with Lin Qingyao.

"Fifth Princess, Princess Mingyue." Lin Qingyao saluted them.

Xiao Qingning quickly gave her a hand, "Why are you being polite to me? This is my cousin, whom you have met before."

Lin Qingyao smiled at Princess Mingyue.

"You don't mind if I call you Yao'er just like Ning'er?" Princess Mingyue looked at Lin Qingyao with a smile.

Xiao Mingyue is still so straightforward.

"Of course, then I will also dare to call you Sister Mingyue."

All three laughed.

The cold temperament of the second brother needs a lively and straightforward girl like Xiao Mingyue to melt him.

They also got along well in their previous lives.

Lin Qingyao hopes that she can be his second sister-in-law this time.

"By the way, Yao'er, I heard from Fifth Brother that you were sick a few days ago. Are you feeling better?"

Xiao Qingning was extremely anxious when fifth brother said that Yao'er was ill. If fifth brother hadn't said that Yao'er looked good when he saw her that day, she would have come to Zhongyong Hou Mansion to see her right away.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Lin Qingyao shook Xiao Qingning's hand and said with a smile.

"It's okay. We'll talk alone later."

"Okay, you can take Sister Mingyue to the table first."

Lin Qingyao put away her smile, thinking that she would have to deal with that person later, and looked behind Xiao Qingning.

Xiao Qingning snickered when she saw Lin Qingyao's appearance. She knew Lin Qingyao's thoughts best.

Although she knew the fifth brother's feelings for Yao'er, Yao'er liked the fourth brother.

Although the fourth brother is not her biological brother, he is usually nice to her and is a good match for Yao'er, so she is happy to see it happen. The most important thing is that Yao'er is happy.

She leaned closer to Lin Qingyao and whispered: "Don't worry, fourth brother will be here soon."

Lin Qingyao knew that Xiao Qingning had misunderstood her meaning, and she couldn't explain it for a while now, so let her misunderstand it for now.

Anyway, I don't plan to break up with Xiao Jingyi now, so that's fine.

Lin Qingyao smiled and said, "I understand, please take your seats first and I will come find you in a moment."
