The person from Prince Lu's Mansion who came to Cen Mansion to send a thank you gift was Princess Hua Qi, who brought Jin Fang here personally.

The whole family of Prince Lu's Mansion was very grateful for the fact that "Cen Xiqin saved Jin Fang". Princess Hua Qi personally came to the door to send a thank you gift, which also expressed their sincerity.

Cen Xiqin was called out from Jinglan Pavilion and went to Furong Garden where Mrs. Cen lived to meet Princess Hua Qi and Jin Fang.

Princess Hua Qi took Cen Xiqin and praised her, and even said a lot of words of gratitude.

Cen Xiqin knew that she had taken the credit for Cen Xiyan's work, and she felt very uncomfortable. After being praised and thanked by Princess Hua Qi, her face became redder and redder.

Mrs. Cen was very happy to hear this. Although she kept speaking modestly, the smile on her face could not conceal her happiness and pride.

Princess Hua Qi's status was too noble, and Mrs. Zhao was not qualified to accompany her on such an occasion, so Mrs. Li rarely walked out of her courtyard and spoke to Princess Hua Qi in Furong Garden. At this moment, listen to

Seeing her daughter being appreciated and praised, she couldn't help but reveal a sincere smile on her usually calm and rigid face.

Cen Xiqin and Jin Fang looked at each other for a few times, and their eyes exchanged expressions of helplessness.

Later, Jin Fang brought it up and wanted to have a good chat with Cen Xiqin, so Mrs. Cen and Princess Hua Qi let them go. Cen Xiqin took Jin Fang and went directly to Jinglan Pavilion in Cenxiyan.

On the way, Cen Xiqin whispered to Jin Fang: "You're so embarrassed of me. Hey, I'm so thick-skinned!"

Jin Fang quietly pulled Cen Xiqin's hand and signaled her to stop talking. There were maids nearby, so don't talk.

Cen Xiqin shut up in frustration.

When I arrived at Jinglan Pavilion, I asked the girl to announce it, and Cen Xiyan came out quickly.

Although Cen Xiyan is actually too lazy to come out to greet her in person, she is a concubine, and having Cen Xiqin, her legitimate daughter, be close to her, and the little princess of Prince Lu's palace comes to visit, this is enough to be eye-catching. There are not only many pairs of pairs in this mansion.

How many people are jealous and hateful when she stares at her? If she refuses to even come out to greet her, once Princess Hua Qi and Jin Fang leave, someone will probably use the topic to make trouble for her, so some superficial efforts are still

to be done.

Cen Xiyan secretly sighed again, this life in a high family and a deep house is so tiring!

Facing Jin Fang, Cen Xiqin entered the door.

Jin Fang came up with the same excuse as Cen Xiqin used last time, that she wanted to "visit Cen Xiyan's boudoir."

Cen Xiyan understood that this girl had something to say, so he moved them to the bedroom on the second floor.

The maids and mothers-in-law were all waiting downstairs knowingly. After Jingshuang went up to deliver the tea, she also came downstairs immediately.

When there was no one else in the room, Jin Fang looked at Cen Xiyan and said seriously: "Xiyan, I didn't tell my father, mother, and brother that you were the one who saved me. Now, they all regard Qin'er as mine.

I'm a benefactor, but I know that since you made others mistakenly think that the arrow was shot by Qin'er, you wouldn't care about these superficial praises and reputations. However, I can't help but thank you. Thank you for saving me.

Me, otherwise, I might be a cold corpse lying in the coffin now, and it is possible that I am not a complete corpse."

Cen Xiyan smiled at Jin Fang and said, "Jin Fang, you already thanked me yesterday, but it's better to say thank you again."

"I thanked you too hastily yesterday. You saved my life. Even if I thank you ten thousand times, it will not be enough to repay your kindness to me." Jin Fang said sincerely.

"Okay, okay." Cen Xiqin on the side couldn't help but interjected: "Look at you, one moment the corpse, the other the ten thousand words of thanks, the words made me feel cold and numb, and after talking so much, you

Might as well get something more affordable!”

The sensational atmosphere created by Jin Fang was immediately shattered by Cen Xiqin. Jin Fang couldn't help but roll her eyes at Cen Xiqin and said angrily: "You are the only one who has a lot to do!"

Cen Xiqin answered depressedly, "I don't have much to do, but now everything is on my head, it's so troublesome!"

"Sorry for causing you trouble." Cen Xiyan said to Cen Xiqin.

Cen Xiyan said this, which made Cen Xiqin feel embarrassed, "Well... Actually, it's nothing. It's all about a good reputation anyway. Speaking of which, I took advantage..."

Cen Xiyan couldn't help but smile when he saw Cen Xiqin like this. The time they got together was short, but she really liked Cen Xiqin's temperament.

At this time, Jin Fang pushed a small exquisite carved box that she had been holding in her hand to Cen Xiyan, and said: "Xiyan, I know that any gift of thanks is light for a life-saving grace, but

, I still want to use my heart to express my gratitude, which is less than one ten thousandth. I still ask you to accept this gift of thanks."

Cen Xiyan was not pretentious. He reached out to take the box and opened it directly. What he saw inside was a peony hairpin with entangled branches inlaid with many rubies and emeralds. The workmanship was very exquisite and meticulous.

Not an ordinary product.

Sure enough, I heard Jin Fang say again: "This hairpin was made by a very famous craftsman in the palace. The late emperor gave it to my grandmother. My grandmother left it to my mother, and my mother passed it on to me. Now."

, I’ll give it to you, Xiyan.”

It turned out to be something from the palace, no wonder the workmanship is so exquisite and rich.

However, is this a relic of the late emperor's concubine? To Princess Hua Qi and mother and daughter Jin Fang, the meaning is very different.

Originally, Cen Xiyan planned to accept Jin Fang's thank you gift to reassure her, but now she was in trouble. She looked at Jin Fang and said, "This is your grandmother's relic, how can you give it to me?"

"Although this hairpin means something special to me, without Xi Yan's rescue, this hairpin might just become my burial object in the end. So, Xi Yan, please accept this little thing from me."

My thoughts." Jin Fang looked at Cen Xiyan and said sincerely again.

Cen Xiyan looked at Jin Fang for a moment, saw the seriousness in her eyes, and finally nodded, "Okay, I accept your offer."

Jin Fang laughed sincerely, and then, after thinking about it, he added, "This hairpin was originally a pair, and there is another one with the Queen Mother. I heard my mother say that back then, the emperor's uncle was plotted against by a villain.

, it was my maternal grandmother who saved the emperor's uncle's life. The Queen Mother and the emperor's uncle have always been very grateful to my maternal grandmother. Therefore, the emperor's uncle has a very close relationship with my mother's brother and sister, and this hairpin can be regarded as a token, you can think of it.

The Queen Mother has asked for something, Xi Yan, I don’t know why, but I always have a feeling that in the future... you might be able to use it."

When Cen Xiyan heard what Jin Fang said, his heart skipped a beat. Holding the box with the hairpin in his hand, he suddenly felt heavy...
