Reborn and married to uncle, husband and wife teamed up to abuse scum.

After walking through the yard, you will see a large courtyard. Many guests have frowns on their faces, but everyone has a smile on their face. Before you get close, you can hear endless compliments coming from inside.

A respectable maid came down the stairs to greet them, and then led the group into the house, "Princess, the wife of Marquis Weiyuan is here."

Wang smiled and stepped forward to greet him, "Greetings, Princess."

"Hurry and get free of charge."

Princess Jin did not look very majestic, but rather dignified and graceful, with a faint smile on her lips, "Madam Weiyuan, long time no see, are you all right?"

"Replying to Princess, everything is fine. How is Princess?"

"All good."

Princess Jin asked with a smile, "Is this the second young master's wife?"

"Exactly."

Wang stood aside, Xin An stepped forward and greeted her. Princess Jin said, "I love the jasmine you sent me, but winter is not the season for jasmine to bloom. How did you do it?"

Everyone's eyes subconsciously fell on Xin An. Some were curious, some were surprised, some were sarcastic, and some were envious. No matter what the gift was, the fact that it was mentioned by Princess Jin in such an occasion showed that the gift really touched her heart.

"Princess, it was originally unintentional for jasmine to bloom in winter."

Xin An smiled, "The gardener built a greenhouse in the winter and raised some daffodils. The jasmine was placed next to it. The leaves were getting greener, so the gardener burned more firewood and tried his best to simulate the climate of the jasmine blooming season. He accidentally made the jasmine bloom."

"It was a coincidence, but also luck. It's more likely that the jasmine learned that the princess had returned and bloomed early to congratulate her."

Princess Jin laughed, "The Second Young Master's wife is not only beautiful but also smart. She is also very clever. The jasmine has a subtle fragrance, which is gentle and soothing. I have been very busy these days since I returned to Beijing. Fortunately, I have a pot of jasmine, which makes me sleep better. I have to thank you very much for this."

Xin An smiled and said that the doctor told her that the fragrance of jasmine can not only make people happy, but also soothe and help them sleep. "I was a little skeptical at first. How could such a small flower have such a great ability? Today, I believe it after hearing the princess say it herself. I will move a few pots to the yard later. The fact that it can only make people happy is great."

At this time, the ladies around also figured out the reasons behind it. The so-called luck is the result of secret efforts behind the scenes. It is no secret that Princess Jin loves jasmine, and they may have thought about it when they gave her gifts, but they gave up because jasmine does not bloom in winter.

The second young lady of the Tang family really has some skills when it comes to gift-giving. I don't know how long she has been preparing in advance.

Princess Jin seemed not to notice the strange looks from everyone, and nodded to Xin An with a smile. Xin An then hurriedly introduced Tang Quan'er and the other two, saying that they were cousins ​​who were now studying in Beijing with their brothers.

The three girls saluted respectfully, and after listening to Princess Jin's two words of praise, they stood aside obediently, without looking around, and were very well-behaved.

More guests arrived one after another. Since this was a royal palace and the place was large, the hall didn't seem crowded with so many of them, and they didn't have to leave early to make room for the later guests.

Wang's expectations were correct. Most of the guests were members of the royal family and people with titles in the capital. The wives of the ministers in the court were rarely seen.

When Xin An came to the Changhou Mansion, the first person he saw was Lin Yao. Lin Yao, who was popular in every family, was no longer as lively as before in front of Princess Jin. The wife of Changhou also abided by the rules, which once again made Xin An feel the power of Prince Jin.

As the hour passed, the number of guests decreased. Princess Jin spoke up, "There are about twenty apricot trees in the palace. Fortunately, the emperor cared about them. The apricot trees have grown well in the past few years when the prince was away from the capital. They bloomed again this spring. I thought of taking this opportunity to invite relatives and friends to sit with me. First, I have not seen you for a long time and I want to catch up with you. Second, I don't want to enjoy this beautiful scenery alone."

Prince Jin was exiled, but the emperor who exiled Prince Jin ordered people to take care of the apricot trees in the prince's palace. This is interesting.

All those present were smart people, and they began to agree with each other, saying how beautiful the apricot blossoms were.

Princess Jin smiled and said, "They are all old apricot trees. They produce a lot of apricots every year. They are sweet, soft and juicy. In previous years, the emperor had them made into dried apricots and sent them to the prince to relieve his homesickness."

"Why don't you all follow me and take a look?"

Who could say anything after these words were spoken? Xin An's mind raced, thinking about how each family had been secretly discussing the truth behind King Jin's exile in the past two days, and why he was immediately entrusted with an important task after his return. There were all kinds of discussions, and King Jin must have heard them.

The phrase "relieves homesickness" explains the inside story. It can be seen that Prince Jin has never fallen out of favor, but is highly trusted by the emperor.

As a result, the status of Prince Jin's Mansion in everyone's mind was further elevated.

Everyone followed Princess Jin out and walked slowly to the apricot tree. Then Xin An saw how those noble ladies who usually looked down on others flattered him.

The wife of Duke Enguo said, "I thought the courtyard of our Duke Enguo Mansion was already very beautiful, but after seeing this courtyard of the prince's mansion, I felt that it was too artificial. It is beautiful, but it lacks the lively simplicity in front of us."

Princess Yu said, "At home, I always want to have a hundred flowers piled up. It would be great if there is no spring, and the flowers are in full bloom. Now, seeing these apricot trees, I feel relaxed and happy."

Mrs. Changhou also said, "The branches of apricot, pear and plum blossoms are full of spring vitality, which is really remarkable. Especially these trees, they are well taken care of."

......

These people either boasted about the trees by belittling themselves or by bragging about the trees' extraordinary beauty. Every time someone spoke up, others began to laugh and agree with them. A genuine smile appeared on everyone's face, and they all expressed their appreciation for this courtyard that returned to its original simplicity.

Wang wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, she chose to shut up. She couldn’t win the fight!

As for Xin An, she had no chance to speak in such an occasion. She just stood with her sister Xu, walked and laughed.

After touring the courtyard, Princess Jin allowed everyone to walk around on their own. The girls immediately gathered in groups of three or four to talk and appreciate the flowers. Xin An also breathed a sigh of relief and turned to talk to Madam Liao.

"I remember that Sister Liao has a younger sister who married into the palace?"

Most of the people who came today hold titles. Although Liao Zhi is highly regarded by the emperor, there is a big gap between her and those who came today in terms of status. I guess it was that sister who invited her.

Mrs. Liao smiled but did not answer, but her eyes fell on the distance. Following her line of sight, a well-mannered woman was walking towards them. She was Lin Qingqing, the wife of Prince Jin's second son.

"elder sister."

Lin smiled gently and walked forward to hold Mrs. Liao's hand. The two smiled at each other. Xin An knew at first sight that their relationship was very close.

"I just wanted to talk to my sister, but I couldn't find time."

Mrs. Liao smiled and said, "There's no need for us to be polite to each other. Just go about your business. I feel relieved when I see you doing well."

"I'm also happy to see my sister coming. You don't know how busy I have been recently."
