Niece Xiao Gu, Yan Yinyao's appearance is 70% like the concubine, but there is a hint of sadness between her eyebrows and her body is thin, and she is not as graceful and luxurious as the concubine.

She wears a light blue satin straight cotton-padded jacket, a navy blue cloak, a high bun with a silver phoenix hairpin in the middle, and a small white flower on her left temple.

Looking at her attire, one could tell that she was a polite person. Although she was a filial piety, she did not enter the house in plain clothes. Jiang Changning had a better impression of her.

"Yin ballads." The concubine shouted with a tearful voice.

Yan Yinyao walked a few steps quickly and threw herself into the concubine's arms, "Aunt."

"My poor child." The concubine hugged her and cried.

"Mom, mother, wow, mother." Following Yan Yinyao, the little girl being hugged by a young woman seemed frightened by the two people hugging each other and crying.

The little girl is about two years old. She is pink and has big, twinkling eyes. She is very cute, but she does not look like Yan Yinyao. She should look like her biological father who died young.

Jiang Changning hurriedly tried to persuade her, "Mother, my cousin has worked hard all the way. It's better to go inside and sit down and talk slowly. The way you two look like this is frightening the child."

When Yan Yinyao heard this, he wiped away his tears and went over to hug his daughter, "Mi'er, don't be afraid. This is my aunt, your maternal aunt."

The little girl was a little embarrassed and buried her head on her mother's shoulder, not daring to look at anyone.

Jiang Changning said softly: "Cousin, it's cold outside, take the child inside."

Yan Yinyao smiled at Jiang Changning, "Cousin."

Entering the hall, Yan Yinyao put down his daughter, bowed to the concubine in a polite manner and asked: "Yinyao has met my aunt, my aunt is blessed."

He saluted Jiang Changning again and said, "Yin Yao has met my cousin, and my cousin is blessed."

"Cousin, please don't be polite." Jiang Changning helped her up.

"Aunt, cousin, this is my daughter Zeng Mi, Mi of the world. Mi'er, please send my regards to your aunt and cousin." Yan Yinyao said to her daughter.

The little girl was young. She was holding on to Yan Yinyao's skirt and hiding behind her. She timidly poked her head out to look at the concubine and Jiang Changning.

The cute little appearance made Jiang Changning amused, "Cousin, please stop embarrassing the child. How old is she? What kind of courtesy do you want? Please sit down."

When Yan Yinyao took her daughter and sat down on the chair, Princess Kangren stepped forward and saluted, "Kangren has seen my cousin. Please send my regards to my cousin. May my cousin be blessed."

"Kangren has grown up so much." Yan Yinyao met Princess Kangren when she was a child. "The days go by so fast. In the blink of an eye, a few years have passed."

The little baby back then is now a little girl.

And she also went from a boudoir daughter to a widower.

Yan Yinyao took out the gift she had prepared for the meeting, a pair of white jade twisted silk bracelets.

Jiang Changning also ordered Xiulan to bring out the meeting gifts, puzzle pictures, jigsaw puzzles and other toys for Zeng Mi.

"Yin Yao, it's my aunt who missed you." The concubine looked at Yan Yinyao with tears in her eyes.

Ever since she learned that Yan Yinyao was a widow, the concubine regretted that she had been blind and chose a short-lived husband for Yan Yinyao.

"This is your fate, please don't blame yourself, aunt." Yan Yinyao has accepted that her husband died young and she is now a widow.

"Concubine, my cousin has had a hard journey, why not let her rest in the yard, freshen up, and talk again." Jiang Changning said.

Yan Yinyao glanced at Jiang Changning gratefully. She had cried too much these days and her tears seemed to have dried up. She did not want to be immersed in this kind of grief.

Moreover, my aunt is already old, and it is her fault to be too sad and cause physical discomfort.

In the evening, King Jin returned to his residence, and his cousins ​​met at Liuxuan Courtyard.

Yan Yinyao saluted respectfully and said, "I've met my cousin. My aunt took pity on my mother and daughter for being lonely and helpless. She took my mother and daughter to live in the house, so I disturbed my cousin and sister-in-law."

"There is no need to be polite, cousin. You are a close relative, and you should keep watch and help. Your cousin is kind-hearted, so you can stay here without any restraint." King Jin said with a smile.

Yan Yinyao is dressed plainly, and the King of Jin is wearing a mysterious robe.

It just goes with the saying that if a woman wants to be pretty, she should be dressed in filial piety; if a man wants to be pretty, he should be dressed in soap.

Jiang Changning looked on with cold eyes. Their eyes were very calm, and they didn't look like they were secretly affectionate.

Yan Yinyao's mother and daughter have been living in the palace since then, and Jiang Changning has never treated her badly.

The next day was the concubine's birthday. Due to the ban, she could not entertain guests, so she could only hold a small banquet in the mansion to celebrate her.

Except for the King of Jin and his wife and Princess Kangren, there were only Yan Yinyao and her daughter, and there were no other foreign guests.

Yan Yinyao's birthday gift to the concubine was a white jade Guanyin, saying, "May my aunt live a long and healthy life and everything goes well."

"Good boy." The concubine's face was full of kindness.

Because of Yan Yin's ballad, Princess Kangren was in mourning and did not eat meat, so Jiang Changning specially prepared a separate banquet.

Looking at the exquisite vegetarian dishes in front of her, Yan Yinyao didn't say anything on the spot. After the banquet, she thanked Jiang Changning, "Yinyao caused trouble to my cousin."

"Cousin, there's no need to be so polite. It's just a matter of words. It's not troublesome." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

"My cousin treated Yin Yao well, and Yin Yao will be remembered in my heart." Yan Yin Yao understood that not everyone was willing to say this.

Jiang Changning smiled, "Dear relatives, cousin, please don't be such a heretic like me."

A few days later, it was the Laba Festival.

In the early morning, Jiang Changning sent the concubine who came to greet her and went to Liuxuan Courtyard.

At the gate of the hospital, I met Yan Yinyao's mother and daughter who came to pay their respects to the concubine.

"Cousin sister-in-law."

Zeng Mi called out in a sweet voice: "Cousin aunt."

"Mi'er is so good." Jiang Changning reached out and touched her little face, "Cousin, Mi'er is still young and the weather is cold. It's better not to bring her here and let her sleep more."

After a pause, Jiang Changning continued: "My mother and concubine have always been generous and will not argue with the younger generation about such false courtesy. You see, even I, my mother and concubine, are exempted from having to sleep in the morning and dusk."

Jiang Changning couldn't bear to see Zeng Mi's fair and tender face turned red by the cold wind.

"What my cousin said is that the chant is too cliché." Yan Yanyao said seriously.

"This is the wind outlet. It's chilly. Let's go in and talk." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

When the maid saw them coming, she hurriedly reported them inside.

When he saw the concubine, Zeng Miyu followed his mother and bowed and greeted her in a decent manner.

"Mi'er, come to my aunt and grandma." The concubine waved to Zeng Mi.

Yan Yinyao nudged her daughter on the shoulder, "Go ahead."

"Grandma." Zeng Mi ran towards the concubine.

When Jiang Changning saw this, his eyes flashed slightly. She had too many things to do before. Yan Yinyao brought Zeng Mi here to pay her respects. He must have been thinking of cultivating a relationship with the concubine.

"Mother, concubine, today is the Laba Festival, and my daughter-in-law is going to the porridge stall." Jiang Changning was leaving the house, so he came here to report.

"Go and do your work." The concubine touched Zeng Mi's little hand again and again without raising her head.
