With Princess Pingyang talking to Gu Zhao, Princess Anyang also spoke to Gu Zhao with a smile.

Princess Fuyang and Princess Liuyang also spoke to Gu Zhao with a smile.

Gu Zhao had met these princesses before, so he was naturally not nervous at this moment.

When Concubine Liu saw this scene, her brows slightly frowned. She didn't expect that the person in the limelight today was not her, but the wife of the Prince of Qin.

Duan's face was also very ugly at this time. Gu Zhao actually stole the show at the banquet of the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion.

Princess Anyang saw that Concubine Liu had an unhappy expression on her face, so she smiled and said.

"Concubine Liu, when you came out of the palace today, you should have brought Concubine Duan's reward, right?"

Hearing Princess Anyang's words, Concubine Liu smiled and nodded.

"In reply to Aunt, I did bring a reward from Mother."

Concubine Liu looked towards the door, and a maid walked in holding a plate covered with a red cloth.

"This is the reward given by my mother to the two children of the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion."

When Duan heard this, she laughed happily.

"It is an honor for our family to receive the reward from Concubine Duan."

Concubine Liu looked at Duan again and said with a smile.

"The prince is now recuperating in the palace and cannot attend the full moon banquet in person, so he specifically asked me to bring two longevity locks."

Of course, she prepared this herself, using the name of Prince Heng.

"Thank you, Lord Heng."

Duan peeled off the red cloth and saw a jade pendant of excellent quality, a jade ruyi, a few pearls and a brush on it.

"This jade pendant and writing brush were given by the Emperor to Concubine Duan. These two items are for the young master in the mansion, and the other items are for the young lady in the mansion."

When Duan heard that it was a reward from the emperor, she felt even happier.

"A reward from the Emperor? Thank you, His Majesty, and thank you, Concubine Duan."

Duan was extremely excited. These were gifts from the Emperor. Having these two things at the full moon banquet today made their family very proud.

Gu Zhao looked at those things. Others might not know about them, but she knew them very well.

This thing was indeed a reward from the Emperor, but it was the share given to Concubine Duan. Now that Concubine Duan is using this as a gift, it is indeed a great honor.

After receiving the things, Duan looked at the other ladies and young ladies. Her eyes fell on Gu Zhao. She walked towards Gu Zhao and spoke in a low voice.

"Nephew's wife, please go and meet your second sister." She didn't want Gu Zhao to steal the limelight.

Hearing this, Gu Zhao immediately became wary.

What conspiracy is Duan planning?

Oh, no, it shouldn't be a conspiracy. He felt that he had stolen the limelight from Concubine Liu and the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, so he wanted her to leave here and meet Gu Rong, so that the limelight would still belong to Concubine Liu and Duan.

"Okay."

Gu Zhao was planning to go and see Gu Rong. On days like this, Gu Rong was under house arrest and could not appear in public, so of course she had to go and see him.

Hearing Gu Zhao's agreement, Duan couldn't believe it. Gu Zhao actually agreed so easily? This was too incredible.

Gu Zhao said something to his grandmother and mother-in-law, then turned and left the hall.

Gu Zhao came here with Hong'er and Cuihua. Along the way, he saw that the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, but some of the colorful silks had faded.

The servants in the mansion wore clothes of varying new and old styles.

"Meet the wife of the Marquis."

Gu Zhao walked all the way towards Gu Rong's yard.

From a distance, Gu Rong could be heard roaring.
