Tang Mo was never stingy when it came to praising Xin An, and he praised her in every possible way. Chun Yang and Chun Lu raised their lips, and went out with the basin in hand. Aunt Cui Ping also smiled and went out to prepare breakfast. Xin An was flattered by Tang Mo's praise, "Is she really that beautiful?"

"How can it be false?"

He came forward and held Xin An's face, and quickly touched her lips. "She's beautiful and fragrant. She's really rare. You don't know that my brothers outside envy me for having such a good wife."

As he was about to kiss her again, Xin An leaned back, "Don't smudge my fresh lipstick."

Tang Mo smiled and kissed her forehead, "Your skin is getting better and better, it's white and rosy, there's no need for makeup, just a simple lip gloss is enough to make you look attractive, the money you spent on skin care is worth it."

"Don't you think I've gained weight recently?"

"What's so good about being skinny?" Tang Mo put his arm around her waist. "Besides, where are you fat? Even if you are a little plump, it just means that you are living a good life. You are fat because you are happy."

"The girl in the house of the Minister of Revenue is so thin that she would fall down if the wind blew. I didn't know that my family was so poor that they could barely afford to eat. She fell down at a banquet and almost broke her bones. It's obvious that being too thin is not a good thing. You are the best like this. You can still be a little plumper. Anyway, you will be beautiful."

Xin An was almost overwhelmed by the praise. If nothing else, the words that Tang Mo said to make her happy were enough for her to make him two more sets of nice clothes.

"I'll take you and mother to the palace gate in a bit. I'll be back early tonight."

"No alcohol?"

"Don't go."

Tang Mo's hand was still around her waist. "How can I drink every day? I want to live a long life. I'll come back early to take you out for a walk. The night market is very lively recently."

Speaking of the night market, Xin An said that she saw Ershan fighting in the ring. Tang Mo said he knew, "Don't worry about him, let him practice well."

"When we were having dinner last night, they said they wanted to hold a small banquet sometime and bring their wives out to meet you. They all said that the clothes I wore were particularly beautiful and they wanted to have some tea from you."

Xin An smiled and pinched his cheek, "Just call me when the time comes. I will definitely save your face at a time like this."

"Then I would like to thank you in advance."

The two of them flirted with each other for a while, and then they separated for breakfast. Xin An only took a sip of water and ate half a dessert, which made Tang Mo feel distressed. He thought that entering the palace was just for the sake of enjoying the scenery, but it was a real pain.

On the way there, they met the Wei sisters. The two sisters were called up early in the morning to pay their respects to Chunrong Hall. Tang Mo and Xin An didn't say much, to avoid Zhang accusing them of doing something bad. It was just a pity for the old lady, who had to endure the torture of getting up early at such an old age.

Wang was already waiting for Xin An. After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other's attire, they went out together. Tang Mo personally sent them to the palace gate before turning around.

After entering the palace, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to wait outside the Queen Mother's Palace. When the sun rose high, the Queen Mother saw the white jade longevity immortal that Xin An presented to her and liked it very much. "It is really lifelike, and the meaning is good. It is thoughtful."

"How is the old lady?"

Wang replied, "Mother is fine, but she doesn't want to move because it's cold. She usually just looks at the flowers and plants in the yard and plays with the cat."

The Queen Mother said, "It's like this when you get older. The old lady is blessed. All the children and grandchildren in the mansion are filial. I heard that the second young master in the mansion was injured. Is he healed?"

Xin Anfuli, "My husband's injury is no longer serious, and he has been promoted by the emperor to the deputy commander of the Northern Army. I am grateful for the emperor's grace and have taken up my post early. I am very proud of it."

The Queen Mother laughed, "In that case, you are also blessed. This fate is truly amazing."

Before Xin An could continue to say a few more polite words, a palace maid came to report that Concubine Jin came to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager knew her purpose very well and smiled and said, "Please ask her to come in."

Concubine Jin was beautiful, and her dress was not too extravagant. She looked very dignified and only in her early thirties. It was hard to imagine that she was already a grandmother. Wang led Xin An to pay her respects, and smiled cautiously to ask them to excuse themselves. "I haven't seen Madam Tang for a while. You look better than before. Is the person next to you your daughter-in-law?"

Wang introduced Xin An to Concubine Jin, carefully looked at Xin An, smiled and praised, "He is really good-looking."

Then he turned around and said to the Queen Mother with a smile, "Last time when Xiao'er's wife came to the palace, she was full of praise for the second young master's wife of the Tang family, whom she had just met. She said that she was outstanding in appearance, had a good personality, and spoke well. I was wondering who could be so exaggerated as her. Now that I heard that she had entered the palace, I came to see her eagerly."

The Queen Mother was also very considerate and said with a smile that the old lady of Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion had also brought Xin An into the palace last time. "She was very fond of him and was extremely satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law. It can be seen that this girl is really lovable."

Concubine Jin smiled and echoed the other two words, then looked at Wang, "It is Madam's blessing to have such a daughter-in-law."

Wang was not modest about this matter either, "It is indeed a blessing to have such a daughter-in-law, and it is also a blessing for my son."

In such occasions, Xin An could not speak actively except to reply. He could only act obediently beside Wang and listen to what they said.

At this time, Zhang, who had walked around the mansion and didn't see Wang, grabbed a passing servant and asked him. The servant said, "The lady went to the palace with the second young master's wife early in the morning."

"Enter the palace?"

Zhang raised her voice. No wonder she was surprised. She had never been to the palace. Why would Wang be a concubine?

She immediately went back and told Zhang Liangcai. Zhang Liangcai, who had packed up and was about to go out to visit his friends, thought it was normal when he heard about this. "She is the Marquis' wife and has the qualifications to enter the palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress."

Zhang's dissatisfaction was written all over her face, "Then why didn't she bring her own daughter-in-law with her?"

"You said she was her daughter-in-law, so why would she bring you along?"

Zhang Liangcai was very annoyed with Zhang's behavior. When he was in office, he was very arrogant, spoke loudly, liked to talk but couldn't say anything meaningful. At that time, he held a high position and no one dared to say anything. When he arrived in the capital, he was not considered important enough. Zhang didn't know how to restrain herself and even despised the fact that she was a second wife. Wasn't she also a concubine?

"I've told you several times that the capital is full of powerful people. You should be careful with your words and actions. Just take care of your own business and don't get involved in other people's affairs."

"You are a guest in the Marquis' Mansion. You should behave like a guest and stop jumping around and annoying others."

After saying this, he got up and walked away. It would have been better if he didn't say these words, but how could Zhang accept it if he did?

Why does Wang's concubine get to show off so much?

Seeing that Wei Xiang and Wei Qing were going to visit the garden of the Marquis' Mansion together, she was furious, "Why bother to chat with the old lady? She is the most distinguished person in the mansion. Your future depends on her."

When she shouted like this, the busy servants in the marquis' mansion not far away pouted. The Wei sisters were very ashamed and angry, and stomped their feet and went back to the house.

Zhang turned around and went to Chunhua Courtyard. She wanted to ask Tao Yiran what was going on. She was the wife of the prince of the Marquis's Mansion, so why did she let someone from the second house walk ahead of her?

When Tao Yiran heard that she was coming, she immediately pretended to faint, so Tang Rong, who was supposed to be lying down to recuperate, had to get up and face her.

When the old lady learned that Zhang was jumping around in the mansion, she put down her teacup and sighed. She couldn't ask her to leave since she came. It seemed that she was planning to spend the New Year here and go directly to the new place to take up the post after the New Year. She still had a long way to go.

Once the Tang family arrives, this mansion will be in chaos. It gives me a headache just thinking about it.

"If they come here, they will say that I am not feeling well and need to rest."

It's the end of the year now, and it's not a good idea to go out for a short stay. It's fru
