When Aruo received a message from someone from the mansion, he was delighted when he heard this, "Empress, Miss Qiuyue is back."

Qin Qiushui paused the tip of his pen, and dripped heavy ink fell, making a ball of stain on the white paper.

She put the pen aside, "So quickly, haven't you entered Beijing a few days ago?"

On the way to Huanxi Palace, Qin Qiushui lifted the gauze curtain in the sedan chair: "Did the Empress Dowager know about this?"

Aruo shook his head: "This maid doesn't know. The person who came to report to the mansion just now was specially sent by the master."

Qin Qiushui knew it clearly, but she didn't know if the Empress Dowager could let go of her request. If she really waited for the house banquet in the palace, it would be a few more days.

"I'm paying homage to the Empress Dowager." Qin Qiushui was more careful than before, just to leave a good impression in front of the Empress Dowager, so that it would be convenient for him to leave the palace.

The empress dowager's eyes signaled Xingzi and Xian'er beside her. Qin Qiushui took all this and seemed to be underestimating the empress dowager's power in Kyoto.

I never thought that even such inconspicuous little things are worth the attention of the Queen Mother.

My sister and brother-in-law had just stepped into the Qin family's door, but the empress dowager was not surprised at all about her arrival.

This only shows that the Queen Mother was very concerned about Xia An and his wife, and even knew their itinerary when they were within Kyoto.

Even though Xia An was a relative of the Queen Mother's family, he was just a son and nephew. If there was no place to be used, how could the Queen Mother give so much attention?

Unfortunately, now the entire Qin family and the empress dowager's family have long been grasshoppers on a rope, and they have moved their whole body with one hair.

Qin Qiushui could only continue to keep a distance between him and the Empress Dowager.

Xingzi chords each took a wooden box, one of which was opened and placed in front of Qin Qiushui, while the other was hung with a small silver lock.

"You take these two boxes back to the Qin family, just treat them as belated gifts from the Ai family."

The Empress Dowager always likes to be mysterious when speaking, just like the problem that is now thrown to Qin Qiushui.

There are two boxes, one of which is opened, and there is a rare Ganoderma lucidum inside. Although the other box is tightly closed, judging from the silver lock above, the things inside are naturally priceless.

Even if it is not revealed in front of others, it may even mean that it is rare and difficult to find.

The Empress Dowager kept saying something about the belated gift, which is really worth pondering. Is it a gift for the Qin family or a gift for Xia An?

Even so, Qin Qiushui ordered Aruo behind him to take it one by one: "I will definitely bring it to the Queen Mother."

"Let's go, is the carriage ready?" After leaving Huanxi Palace, Qin Qiushui felt as if he was returning home. The string tense in front of the empress dowager's majesty finally loosened.

After parking and getting out of the sedan chair, all the old and young Qin family knelt on the ground. Qin Qiushui's current identity is the concubine of the palace, and that is the king. There is a difference between the king and the minister, and even the blood relatives are no exception.

"Dad and mother, please get up quickly, Qiushui can't bear it." Qin Qiushui felt frightened when she saw her elderly parents kneeling to her.

Especially Qin Yongan, the root cause of his illness after he was released from prison has not been completely diagnosed and treated, so how could he do such a great gift?

"The civilian woman has seen the Empress of Concubine." A familiar voice suddenly came from behind the crowd.

This sound was thought to be no longer clear as time precipitated. However, until it sounded, Qin Qiushui felt surprised that the person had been there all the time, not just in memory.

"Sister." Qin Qiushui helped Qin's father and mother up. When she raised her head again, tears had already blurred her vision.

She could only try to vaguely identify the figure of the man from her misty sight. She was exactly the same as five years ago.

Qin Qiuyue smiled and stood up, silently pulled out a handkerchief, and quickly wiped away Qin Qiushui's tears: "What is the Empress doing? Don't be looked at by others."

Qin Qiuyue was pregnant. When news from the palace came, the whole mansion gathered at the gate of the mansion. But she was the only one who was unable to move, which delayed the best time to meet.

Xia An supported Qin Qiuyue and was busy climbing up with relatives: "Empress is tired all the way, hurry up and go into the house."

After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and arranged the rest of the people and waited: "Empress, why don't you welcome the empress into the house quickly?"

What qualifications does he use to shout at the Qin Mansion here?

Is it the master? Qin Yongan is still there, and doing this is no different from being an outsider. So, is it the Qin son-in-law?

This is even more impossible to say. If Xia An really treats him as the Qin family's son-in-law, how could he let the Qin family separate for five years?

Qin Qiushui found it funny: "My brother-in-law has not been in Kyoto for many years, so I'm afraid I don't know who is in charge today?"

"Of course..." When the words came to his mouth, Xia An realized that this sister-in-law was dissatisfied with him: "Empress, what do you mean?"

"If you tell it thoroughly, it's meaningless." Qin Qiushui helped Qin Qiuyue and followed Qin's father and mother slowly left.

"Sister, you are pregnant, don't come out." Qin Qiushui had long noticed Qin Qiuyue with a bulging belly.

Although she had no good feelings for Xia An at all, she still cared about Qin Qiuyue and the fetus in her belly.

After entering the front hall, the atmosphere of the family meeting again for a long time was harmonious.

Qin Qiushui looked sideways: "Aruo, take out the two boxes that the Empress Dowager gave."

"Yes." Aruo lined up the two wooden boxes one by one and placed them in front of everyone.

At this time, except for Aruo, there were only four people in the front hall. Xia An was hurt by Qin Qiushui's words, and he still didn't know where to go.

It is rare for Qin Qiuyue not to speak for her husband, because Xia An did too much.

Qin's mother looked around and felt a sense of anger in her heart: "Hurry up and put it away, what is the wooden box to look at when it is a great life!"

"Women's opinion." Qin Yongan was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe in a breath: "Can you say a few less words?"

It is difficult for the younger generation to get involved in the affairs of parents, so Qin Qiushui could only persuade him first: "Dad, don't be angry, be careful of being angry, the one who feels most distressed is still mother."

"Open the lock." She still has to convey what she should convey, otherwise she will not be able to submit a service in front of the Queen Mother.

"Yes." Aruo responded, took out the key from his waist, gently turned the handle of the key, and with a click, the wooden box opened in response.

The wooden box on the left was seen by Qin Qiushui in Huanxi Palace. She only took the key from the queen mother at that time. Not only was it the first time for everyone to see it, but also the first time for Qin Qiushui to see it.

A guai? A guai used to hold wine?

Qin Qiushui felt that this was not simple and was about to take it over.

Xia An suddenly shouted behind everyone: "Don't move."

Qin Qiushui was shocked by his voice and took his hand back: "What? My brother-in-law knows what's special about this gift?"

Xia An's eyes were straight and he stared at Jue in the wooden box, turning a deaf ear to Qin Qiushui's questions.

"You, what's your attitude? What's the Empress asking you?" Aruo stretched out an arm to stop him, but was pushed away by Xia An's palm.
