Chapter 605: Granddaughter-in-law of the Marquis

The next morning, the newlywed couple Li Zhehao and Xiao Qingning walked hand in hand to the main hall to offer tea to their elders.

The two of them were very affectionate along the way, and only had eyes for each other, which made others envious.

Everyone at the Wu'an Marquis Mansion had already arrived. As soon as Xiao Qingning entered the door, everyone stood up and saluted.

Xiao Qingning was a princess after all, so although she said she came to serve tea, in fact everyone in the Marquis's Mansion came to pay their respects to her.

"Meet Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess."

Xiao Qingning has never been a person who likes to put on airs, not to mention that these people are Li Zhehao's family, and now they are also her family.

"Stop bowing. I am no longer a princess, but the granddaughter-in-law of the Marquis of Wu'an. You are all elders of Zhehao and me. How can you bow to me?"

The old lady disagreed and said, "Princess, what you said is wrong. The etiquette between the monarch and his subjects cannot be abolished. You are a princess first, and then the granddaughter-in-law of the marquis."

Xiao Qingning smiled and walked forward to help the old lady sit down. "Grandma, please sit down. We are a family now. There is no need to care about these empty formalities. If you feel it is inappropriate, how about this. From now on, if you are in front of outsiders, you should still perform the usual formalities. If it is just our family, we can skip these empty formalities. What do you think, Grandma?"

The old lady understood that Xiao Qingning truly regarded them as her own family, and when she saw that she proposed this win-win solution, she no longer insisted.

"That is very appropriate. Thank you for your compassion, Your Majesty."

Seeing that the old lady was still so polite, Xiao Qingning felt helpless.

"Grandma, there are no outsiders here, so it seems too strange for you to call me your granddaughter-in-law. I really want to be close to you, but if you are still so polite, I will be sad. The same goes for all the elders, just call me Ning'er like Zhehao did."

Xiao Qingning said this in a very coquettish tone, which made the old lady laugh out loud. She finally relaxed and truly regarded Xiao Qingning as her granddaughter-in-law, not a princess.

"Yao'er is right. You are such a talker. No one can compare to you. Well, in order not to make my little granddaughter-in-law sad, we will do as you say, Ning'er."

Xiao Qingning smiled when she heard this, "Thank you, grandma. I'm very happy."

In the following time, Xiao Qingning had a great time chatting with everyone in the Marquis' Mansion and quickly integrated into this new environment.

Xiao Qingning also thoughtfully prepared gifts for everyone, and everyone was very happy.

Xiao Qingning still served tea according to the rules. Zhao unexpectedly drank this cup of daughter-in-law tea and smiled from ear to ear.

After serving tea, the two said goodbye to everyone and went to the princess's mansion. When they were leaving, everyone was reluctant to see them go and repeatedly asked them to come back often.

The two of them got on the carriage. Xiao Qingning leaned in Li Zhehao's arms and asked inquiringly, "Zhehao, did you notice that Xuan'er seemed to be in a bad mood today, and seemed to have something on her mind?"

Li Zhehao had been paying attention to Xiao Qingning's situation and didn't pay much attention to Li Yaxuan's expression.

"Really? I didn't notice it just now. Maybe she was a little sad because she saw us leaving for the princess's mansion. Xuan'er looks lively on weekdays, but she is actually worried and doesn't want others to worry, so she always keeps things to herself."

Xiao Qingning nodded after hearing this. "That's a possibility, but she does look a little abnormal today. She's usually so lively, but she didn't say a word just now, and she didn't even smile. I feel a little uneasy. Zhehao, do you think Xuan'er has encountered something, but she's afraid that we'll worry about her, so she doesn't dare to tell us?"

Seeing that Xiao Qingning was beginning to feel uneasy, Li Zhehao hurriedly comforted her, "Ning'er, don't think too much about it. Xuan'er shouldn't encounter any major problems on a normal day. If you are worried, we will bring Xuan'er to the princess's residence after we return from paying respects in the palace tomorrow, and you can ask her in person. That way, even if there is something wrong, we can help Xuan'er with ideas, and won't make her family worry. How do you do it?"

After hearing this, Xiao Qingning felt relieved. "Okay, then I'll do as you say."

On the other side, Xiao Jingheng waited outside the door all night, but after a night, Xu Mengfei was still angry. She avoided Xiao Jingheng and refused to listen to his explanation.

Xiao Jingheng was at a loss as it was time for the morning court session, so he could only leave.

After Xiao Jingheng left, Xu Mengfei also packed up and entered the palace.

Instead of staying in the mansion alone with random thoughts, it would be better to go to the palace and talk to Concubine Chen Hui, which would make you feel better.

Xu Mengfei recently thought that she was getting along well with Xiao Jingheng and was completely focused on him. She hadn't visited Chen Huifei for a few years, so she just happened to go and accompany her today.

Today, Xiao Qingying also came to see Concubine Chen Hui. Xiao Qingying and Xu Mengfei had met several times. The two have similar personalities, and Xiao Qingying likes Xu Mengfei from the bottom of her heart.

Concubine Chen Hui and Xiao Qingying were both very happy to see Xu Mengfei, and the three of them had a great conversation.

Xu Mengfei temporarily forgot about what happened yesterday and felt much better.

Unexpectedly, when Xu Mengfei was in high spirits, an uninvited guest came.

Xiao Jingheng heard from somewhere that Xu Mengfei had come to the palace to see his mother, so he rushed over after the court session.

Xu Mengfei now refused to listen to his explanation and refused to see him, so Xiao Jingheng had no choice but to come here to find her.

At least Xu Mengfei will give him some face in front of her mother, so he still has some chance.

"Your son pays respects to mother. Fourth sister, are you here today?"

Xiao Qingying smiled and nodded, "Yes, I haven't visited Mother for a few days. I came here today when I had time. I didn't expect to meet my sister-in-law by chance. I heard that you don't visit Mother often now that you have a wife. Are you here to pick up your wife today?"

Xiao Qingying was completely oblivious to the awkwardness between the two and was still laughing and teasing the young couple.

After hearing this, Xiao Jingheng's expression was obviously a little embarrassed, and Xu Mengfei's expression had been unnatural since Xiao Jingheng came in, and the smile on her lips disappeared.

In order to prevent Mother and Fourth Sister from noticing that something was wrong with them, Xiao Jingheng quickly responded, "Fourth Sister, you are wrongly accusing me. Not only do I often come to the palace to see Mother, I also bring Meng Fei with me. Mother must be very happy. Mother, you have to testify for me."

Chen Huifei smiled when she heard it, "Yes, Heng'er is right, Ying'er, you can't wrongly accuse him. But he doesn't have much to say to me when he comes, and he always says the same few words. Unlike Meng Fei, she has endless things to say to me and always makes me happy. I like Meng Fei's lively personality so much. I feel that I am influenced by her when I am with her, and I smile more unconsciously."

Although Xu Mengfei had completely lost the mood to joke because of Xiao Jingheng's appearance, she didn't want Chen Huifei and Xiao Qingying to notice their abnormality and get worried, so she still forced a smile.

"Thank you for your love, mother. It is my honor to make you smile more."
