Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 309 Flattered
It was almost noon when Pan Jiaming, Xiao Feng and his entourage returned to the capital. As usual, after entering the palace to meet the Holy Spirit, Pan Jiaming must have stayed in Kunhe Palace to have dinner with the Queen and the Queen before returning to the British Palace.

Xiao Feng jumped off his horse and said to Pan Jiaming: "You are probably very busy today, and the house is probably very lively, so I won't go there to bother you. I will go visit the old lady and Xiao Ling'er tomorrow." With that, he walked up to him. Get ready next to the carriage that is coming up.In the capital city, he is so handsome and very popular, so it’s better to keep a low profile!

Pan Jiaming waved his hand indifferently, and was about to ride his horse forward when he suddenly remembered something: "You can live in the new house directly. Si Tiao has already been tidied up by someone, and the servants also bought some. You Isn’t it cheap to live there? Take advantage of this time to come back and quickly retreat to that small courtyard."

Xiao Feng nodded, it was all agreed upon, there was no difference between staying early and staying late.He has a lot to do, and living in the small courtyard is really not convenient.As for what some people would say in a mean way, he had heard it since he was a child and he really didn't care.

Pan Jiaming then headed towards the palace without looking back. Many things would be very different when he came back this time.He has been a waste and a playboy for almost ten years. It is time for him to change his ways and take on the responsibilities that should be borne by the heir to the British government.Fortunately, with Xiao Feng, a staff member appointed by the emperor, as a cover, his progress and change are natural, right?
Another important point is that he must let the Queen's aunt see his "growth" bit by bit and see that he has his own opinions and ideas and is not as unreliable as he has shown in the past.In that case, the queen might be able to trust his vision and accept his choice.Because he knew that the queen truly loved him and Ling'er, and this love was no less than a biological mother's love for her children.

As Pan Jiaming worried, when he met the emperor and went to Kunhe Palace, Princess Chunxi was also there.

The queen was in a good mood, and held up her precious nephew who was giving a grand ceremony with one hand: "Hurry up and stand up so that my aunt can take a good look. I'm a little thinner, but my complexion is still good. Well, Dafuzi didn't lie to me. If you are busy, you will be in good spirits." It's better." The only nephew has become sensible and can handle errands seriously. The emperor seems to be quite satisfied with the errands he does. How can she not be happy as an aunt?After starting a family and starting a business, when this nephew gets married, she can ask the emperor to give her a job in the capital, and then she will inherit the title of the Duke's palace smoothly. She can also comfort her younger brother and sister-in-law's spirits in heaven!

Thinking of the marriage, the queen suddenly came back to her senses, pulled Princess Chunxi and smiled and said: "Chun'er happened to be here today to talk to me. When I heard you were coming over, I wanted to say hello to you. You haven't seen each other for a long time. "

Chunxi's face was full of joy: "Cousin Ming." Since Pan Jiaming went to Luo City on business, she felt that Pan Jiaming had changed significantly every time they met again. He became more calm and handsome, and his original carefree appearance was gradually fading away.No wonder the mother often said that with such an excellent pair of parents, Cousin Ming couldn't be much different. It's just that he was young and ignorant and was manipulated to be a bit domineering and playful. When he sees more, listens more, Once I figured it out, I settled down.

Pan Jiaming took a step back and bowed politely: "I have met Princess Chunxi." In fact, he always kept a distance from Princess Chunxi and was polite.Before, I was worried that my reputation was too bad. Although I couldn't be completely different in the palace, I could at least be more restrained, right?So as not to drag down the Queen's aunt and the third princess raised in Kunhe Palace.Now, he was trying to prevent the queen from misunderstanding that they were really childhood sweethearts, and then making some random arrangements.

The queen was shocked, as if something happened that she didn't expect.Although there was nothing wrong with Pan Jiaming's words and deeds, she still felt something was wrong. Was Ming'er alienated from Chunxi?Or is it because Sunhee's status has improved that she has to put on a show to avoid being criticized?
The smile on Chunxi's face also froze, and she said sarcastically: "Cousin Ming, please get up quickly. You just came back, and the queen must have a lot to ask you. I'm going back to Yanxi Palace first." Although Pan Jiaming had not treated her well before, So distant, but not that close.Since she was seven or eight years old, Pan Jiaming refused to sit at the same table with her every time he came to the palace, saying that men and women were seated at different tables when they were seven years old.

She doesn’t know why people outside always say that cousin Ming is a dandy. She thinks those so-called cousins ​​in the Xie family are dandies, right?Because the Queen Mother is their aunt, every time she sees her, she looks disgusting with her eyes glowing green, which makes her hide in the Yanxi Palace when she hears that the Xie family has entered the palace, so as not to get the same fate again. Encounter by chance.

After Chunxi left, the queen asked in confusion: "Ming'er, do you have any misunderstandings about Chun'er? Or, did Chun'er do something that made you unhappy when you went to Luo City last time?"

Pan Jiaming looked puzzled: "No, aunt, why do you ask that? I have always regarded Princess Chunxi as my younger sister, just like Ling'er, so how can I misunderstand her?"

Like Linger?The Queen was even more puzzled. Was there something behind her words?However, she hadn't mentioned anything yet, so her nephew was trying to block her with words?Could it be that someone said something in front of this kid?

If so, should she speak up now and ask for clarification?After all, it was a major event in her nephew's life. If he really didn't like Chun Xi, she didn't want to force him.

In the eyes of the queen, Pan Jiaming had not been cared for by his parents since he was a child. She also hoped that this nephew would be able to reconcile the couple after getting married and make up for the unhappy days in the past.She herself and the emperor were childhood sweethearts, and her younger brother and his sister-in-law were also in love with each other back then. The younger brother even only had his sister-in-law as a wife and had never thought about taking a concubine. Now she was naturally not willing to force her nephew to marry a girl he didn't like.Moreover, Chunxi was her daughter who had been raised by her since she was a child, and she was almost the same as her biological daughter. She also hoped that Chunxi could marry a husband who truly liked her and treated her sincerely.It is said that my father, the British father-in-law, was forced by his elders to marry my mother. My father liked tender and affectionate women, but he disliked her mother's stubborn temper and being too strong.

As a result, my mother lived an unhappy life for most of her life, and all she had was a superficial respectability. No, even this respectability was greatly missing because of Pan Ruye, the eldest son of a concubine, who was born outside the family. , which wife can treat him calmly?
It was precisely because of her own unhappiness that her mother asked her and her brother what they thought before they made an engagement, despite the pressure from their elders. Otherwise, she would have probably married another prince who was the most favored prince at the time. No, she didn't like not to say it, and now she is no longer alive.

"Ah, aunt, I'm really hungry." Pan Jiaming saw that the queen was hesitant to speak, so he quickly acted like a rogue, "Your Majesty is busy entertaining the special envoy of the King of Yunnan today, so let me, my nephew, accompany you alone. It’s time to eat.”

The queen suddenly came back to her senses, with a distressed look on her face: "Isn't that right? You've been on the road for two days and can't eat well or sleep well. Don't you feel hungry? Yiluo, hurry up and let someone pass the food on." Let's talk about other things slowly. , she also thought about it carefully, if..., she had to prepare to make a good selection as soon as possible, lest all the good girls were taken away, right?

Pan Jiaming looked at the queen who was busy preparing meals and snacks, and felt warm in his heart. His aunt was the Queen of Daying, but she treated him and Ling'er like the most ordinary loving mother.However, when it comes to marriage, he is afraid that he will not be able to fulfill his aunt's wish.

Because she knew that the old lady was thinking about Pan Jiaming, the queen did not keep him for too long and drove Pan Jiaming back after lunch.

Just as Pan Jiaming expected, all the masters of the Duke's Mansion were gathered in the meeting hall waiting for him. The only difference was the demeanor of everyone.Grandma and Xiao Ling'er's faces were full of joy and pride, which was relatively normal. He would always be the best grandson and brother in their hearts. No matter how outsiders viewed him or evaluated him, they could not change Grandma and Ling'er's feelings for him;

Grandfather was a little strange. It was rare that he did not greet him with a dark face. Although it was not so obvious, the seriousness of a family member still did not completely cover his excitement.That's all, but Pan Jiaming felt like he was dazzled. He actually felt a hint of flattery in his grandfather's eyes, uh, and guilt.Where did this come from?What is Grandpa excited about?What are you feeling guilty about?The wine that I drank was so good that I felt grateful for his filial piety, felt guilty for treating him lightly before, and then wanted to please him?That's what the hell!
And the second-fang family, uh, did the Li family’s bride Pan Shuying come back specially to welcome him?Why do they smile so ugly, as if someone is holding a dagger on their backs to force them to smile.In times like this before, they usually prepared a lot of reasons to pick on him, and they were very skillful. They openly praised him, congratulated him, worried about him, and had plans for him, but the connotation behind their words could actually Just enough to arouse his grandfather's anger and disgust towards him...

Is this a change of direction today?Well, if the soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth, who is afraid of whom?

Having been without a home for such a long time, the first thing I did was to give a big gift to my grandparents and say hello: "Hello, grandparents. Fortunately, my grandson has fulfilled the emperor's orders and completed his errands. The emperor has given permission for my grandson to return to Beijing for the New Year." It's rare for my grandfather to be like this. The old man gave him a good look, and he also obeyed the old man's wishes, right?Filial piety comes first among all good deeds.

"Get up, have you had lunch at the Queen's place?" The Duke's tone today was as kind and kind as his face. Although his voice was a bit stiff, he probably wasn't used to being kind to his naughty second grandson, right?
But this was enough to make Pan Jiaming feel flattered. Various speculations were running through his head, and he naturally had to reply calmly: "Yes, my grandson had lunch with his mother-in-law in Kunhe Palace. The mother-in-law is worried about her grandfather." Grandma was worried about her, so she hurriedly urged her grandson to come back."

The Duke of Guo became more and more satisfied. This grandson had indeed made progress. Look, when had he behaved like this before?Well, it was because I was too anxious before and had a bad attitude. Today, my tone was just better, and the child immediately became well-behaved.

　The medicine prescribed by the doctor this time may not be suitable for me. I get a headache after taking it, and even painkillers can't stop it.If I don’t eat today, it really doesn’t hurt anymore. I’ll see how it goes tomorrow.The updates in the past two days were abnormal again, sorry!It probably won't happen starting tomorrow.
