It's a warm winter again, with no snow falling, and the snow-covered scenery is particularly charming.

After going out with Yuhe last time, although no one said anything bad about her, she was deeply affected, so throughout the autumn, Jiang Zuiyao stayed in the laboratory of Zuiyao Pavilion and worked hard.

This time, winter has entered and the first snow has arrived. The Shao family no longer dares to take care of Jiang Zuiyao. I wonder which family would allow a married woman to live outside the family? In the entire Kyoto

, Jiang Zuiyao was the first person, and not only that, Jiang Zuiyao even asked Cuiyun to come and stay with Chu Yi for a while. It was so excessive that the Shao family did not dare to say anything.

"Madam, if you don't go back home, I'm afraid it will be late, but you have to go back today." Linghui reminded outside the window.

Jiang Zuiyao responded, sealed the confidential medicine she developed in an incubator, took off her isolation gown, took off her isolation gloves, opened the door and walked out.

There was light snow falling outside. Before leaving, Jiang Zuiyao did not forget to take another look at the generator. Although it was covered by the rain shelter, she was still afraid of getting snow.

After leaving the house and riding a carriage to Shao Mansion, Linghui said she had to go back today because today was indeed a big day for the Shao family and Jiang's birthday.

Cuiyun hugged Chu Yi and sat in the carriage, saying: "Young madam, the master sent someone to convey a message a few days ago, saying that the young lady is still young and weak, so it is better to live in the mansion."

Jiang Zuiyao's eyes turned cold, and she glanced at the child in Cuiyun's arms. She immediately showed a kind gaze and gently stroked Chu Yi in Cuiyun's arms. Her voice was a bit cold: "Although Chu Yi is born with deficiencies, after all these

Adjusting your daily routine will result in a healthy child."

Jiang Zuiyao couldn't bear to be separated from her child. She also knew that the Jiang family and Shao Jiang from the Shao family did not pay attention to this child from the bottom of their hearts.

Arriving at the gate of Shao Mansion, Jiang Zuiyao got off the carriage and saw guests entering the mansion.

After going up the steps, Butler Li, who was guarding the door to greet her, hurriedly greeted her with a smile: "The young lady is back. Come in quickly. The master and his wife are waiting for you."

Jiang Zuiyao crossed the threshold and walked in. After passing the front porch and walking up the Duanqiao in front of the front hall door, she saw Mrs. Jiang chatting animatedly with an official lady. When she saw Jiang Zuiyao, Mrs. Jiang first stopped laughing.

Then he quickly said with a perfunctory smile: "Zui Yao is back."

The official women present quickly saluted Jiang Zuiyao and said, "My wife, please see Mrs. Shao."

Jiang Zuiyao is the second-grade imperial concubine of the Empress Dowager. No matter how rich and valuable the ladies present are, they are all inferior to Jiang Zuiyao. In addition, she is the step-granddaughter of the Empress Dowager, so no one dares to be disrespectful.

Jiang Zuiyao smiled at everyone and said, "You don't have to be polite."

Afterwards, Jiang Zuiyao smiled kindly at Mr. Jiang: "I wish my mother a happy life."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Zuiyao took a brocade box from Linghui's hand, handed it to Jiang and said, "I specially prepared a birthday gift for my mother, and I hope my mother will accept it."

Jiang took it, and the eyes of the people around him immediately fell on Jiang's hand, and they were all curious about what Jiang Zuiyao would give.

Jiang had no choice but to open the brocade box. In an instant, the official standing next to her exclaimed in surprise: "Oh, what a big pearl!"

As soon as he was amazed, many people came over to take a look.

"This pearl is really big. I have never seen such a big pearl before."

"It's really rare for such a big pearl to be so crystal clear."

"Yes, such a huge pearl must be hundreds of years old."

There was a constant stream of compliments, and Mrs. Jiang pretended to smile with joy: "Zui Yao knows what I mean. I got a golden hairpin a few days ago, and it happened to be lacking in ornaments. If I embed this pearl on the golden hairpin,

It must look good."

The officials on the side quickly agreed: "If you put such big pearls in your hair, it will definitely be eye-catching. Madam Shao, you are really lucky."

With outsiders present, Mrs. Jiang smiled warmly and said to Jiang Zuiyao: "Zuiyao is still a good boy. Come into the front hall and have tea. It's snowing outside, don't catch a cold."

If this were an ordinary person, they would naturally be happy and quiet after listening to Jiang's words, but Jiang Zuiyao could see through Jiang's thoughts at a glance.

Today is her birthday, and Jiang Zuiyao is the direct daughter-in-law of the Shao family. If the Jiang family is allowed to greet guests outside, but she is resting leisurely aside, others will say that her daughter-in-law is unfilial.

So Jiang Zuiyao said hurriedly: "Today is my mother's birthday. How can I just rest aside? Mother, please go in quickly. I'll just welcome you."

Jiang Zuiyao didn't give Jiang a chance to be polite at all. She turned around and said to Linghui: "It's snowing and the bridge is slippery. Please help Madam to the front hall quickly."

Linghui nodded, stepped forward to support Mrs. Jiang and said, "Madam, please go in and have tea and rest. There is a young lady here, so don't be tired."

Mrs. Jiang raised her eyes and glanced at Linghui, and had no choice but to smile and nod, and walked to the front hall. The officials beside her also followed her, and they were full of praise for Jiang Zuiyao: "Zuiyao is really knowledgeable and sensible. Mrs. Shao, you married

What a good daughter-in-law."

Jiang could only smile and agree, making a scene.

After that, Jiang Zuiyao was surrounded by many people, all of them chatting with her in a friendly manner, and their flattering manner was very hypocritical. Jiang Zuiyao also knew that they were all going for the Queen Mother, so she responded perfunctorily.

After all the guests had been welcomed, Jiang Zuiyao went to Butler Li and asked, "Are all the guests here?"

Butler Li looked at the guest list, nodded and said, "Everyone is here."

"Where's father?"

"Today is Madam's birthday. All the ladies from all over Kyoto were invited, so I didn't show up."

Jiang Zuiyao ordered: "Go down and serve the food."

Butler Li responded and went to take care of things.

Jiang Zuiyao planned to go to the front hall to attend the banquet, but when she turned around, she saw someone, which made her slightly startled.

This man is about forty years old. He wears a dark blue skirt embroidered with green bamboo, holds soft green gauze in his arms, and has a plum blossom gold hairpin inserted diagonally into his bun. He is dignified and elegant.

She is Jiang Ningyao's mother, the concubine of the Minister of Household Affairs, Mrs. Liu.

Jiang Zuiyao's eyes turned cold and she said: "After so many years, Aunt Liu has managed to get through it all, and now she can also attend the banquet on behalf of the mansion."

Jiang Zuiyao's mother died early, and the position of the wife in the family has always been vacant. Jiang Zuiyao's grandmother is in control of everything. Now as her grandmother gets older, she is somewhat lacking in energy. In addition, Jiang Ningyao has entered the palace and gained favor. Her mother, Aunt Liu,

There is great momentum to succeed Madam.

Originally, Jiang Ningyao was thinking that as soon as the heir was born, she would ask her father to raise her mother as his wife. In this way, not only would her mother be rewarded with all her hardships, but she would also become the legitimate daughter-in-law. But at this juncture, something happened to Jiang Ningyao.
