C167 Surprise

"Aunt, why are you here so early? It's still too early, and you shouldn't stay at home for a while before coming back. It looks like you've lost weight recently."

This was the truth. Madame Jiang had lost a lot of weight, and her figure had become slim.

"Are you thinner yet? Besides, today is a big day. As an aunt, I should have come earlier, otherwise, I might have been able to help you treat your guests. Otherwise, how could you possibly come by yourself? "

The Madame Jiang held Qingluo's hand and looked at her carefully. Seeing that she was in good spirits, she finally felt relieved. In the Charity Hall, everyone knew that on the surface, it was Grand Princess Ning Yuan and the An Kingdom's Madam Hou who were making preparations.

In reality, everything was being weighed and regulated by Qingluo. A fourteen or fifteen year old little girl being so capable was truly rare.

"Not many people came, I didn't tell anyone, I just thought, if my family could remember, they would come, the other guests won't be invited, it's too troublesome, I already have a family here, how can I imitate those little girls and do things in such detail."

The Madame Jiang laughed. It seemed that since Qingluo didn't know what the Seventh Prince had done for her, then he would not reveal his secret and let Qingluo have a pleasant surprise.

"The Madam Hou of An Nation has arrived —" There were people singing their names at the front of the hall. As soon as the guests arrived, they immediately reported to the parlour and when Qingluo heard the message from the servants, she immediately apologized to Lady Wang and Aunt and quickly went to welcome them.

"Madam Hou, why are you here?" No one knew how much she hoped that her mother would be able to come to the scene when she was old enough. It was just that, she did not dare to go against the rules, and since she did not invite anyone else, she might as well invite Madam Hou himself.

"Why can't I come? Is Qingluo not welcoming me?" Madam Hou made fun of this rare moment, as Qingluo quickly explained.

"How could that be? I was too happy. I didn't think about it at all. I didn't want to do anything too grand, so I didn't inform everyone. I didn't expect you to come today either. What an unexpected surprise."

She arranged for her aunt to sit next to her. After all, they were her immediate relatives, and at this moment, Qingluo was filled with anticipation for her own wedding gift.

"Grand Princess Ning Yuan has arrived …" Qingluo was stunned again. Who was the one who sent these letters? She was the one who let the madams rest at home. Why did they all come to the palace one by one?

"I'll go welcome them." Qingluo stood up once again. Madam Wang and the others were naturally going to kick her out of the house. Qingluo hurriedly went to fetch the Grand Princess.

"royal sister, how did you know? And so early? " When Qingluo saw Princess Ning Yuan, who had already walked in from two gates, she quickly walked up to her.

After replacing Zi Juan who was beside her, she personally supported the Grand Princess's arm. Princess Ning Yuan patted her hand and asked, "How can I not know that you're not welcoming me?"

This answer was exactly the same as the Madam Hou's. Qingluo laughed, because in the past year, she had gotten along with Princess Ning Yuan as if they were sisters.

If they were to be courteous again, they would really part ways, and Qingluo would no longer be courteous. She chatted with Princess Ning Yuan all the way and entered the parlour.

Qingluo had just brought Princess Ning Yuan into the parlour when someone else came to report from behind. "The Great Monastery's Lady Liu has arrived —"

This time, Madame Jiang stood up and stopped Qingluo, "Qingluo, let me welcome her in your place.

Qingluo didn't want to make people feel that she was being too arrogant, so she insisted on going. In the end, Madam Hou and Grand Princess also accompanied her to welcome guests.

In the end, while the few of them were modestly following him, Madam Wang followed him to the two gates. The rest of the ladies were also gradually arriving, and even with the help of the Madame Jiang and Madam Wang, they were extremely busy.

This was done with the face of Qingluo, which of the noble madams did not feel flattered? They had also seen how Qingluo was highly regarded by the Grand Princess and the Madam Hou.

Zi Rou also came out to help Qing Luo welcome the guests. She helped welcome the ladies who hadn't left the pavilion yet. To Qing Luo's surprise, that Madam Liu had brought her daughter, Liu Ming'e, with her.

Back in Charity Hall, Madam Liu did not bring her daughter along like Lady Wang. This time, she must have made up her mind to bring her daughter out, because no matter how furious she was, she was still her own daughter.

Even if she made a mistake, she would still come out to see him. What was even more unexpected to Qingluo was that Liu Ming'e had grown up. Her manner of speaking was no longer as arrogant and tyrannical as before.

They followed behind Wang Zirou and helped her entertain the other young mistresses. They did it in such a manner that it made Qingluo feel gratified.

Qingluo wasn't an unreasonable person. She had always believed that there was a way to correct one's mistakes. A person who could correct one's mistakes would at least be a lot better than a person who corrected one's mistake to the end.

After working for almost two hours, the number of guests had finally decreased. As Qingluo watched the room full of people, she became extremely anxious. She quietly pulled Mo Lai to the corner of the wall and whispered to her.

"Hurry up and go to the kitchen and see how many tables can be prepared. There are too many people here and no one at home is prepared. This won't do."

"If you really don't plan to come out, then ask the steward to go outside and call the steward to come back. Although this is disrespectful, it is still better than not appearing in public at all."

As had warned Mo Li beforehand, she must not leak any information to her royal concubine. Thus, Mo Li could only nod her head vigorously and assure Qing Luo that she could take care of this matter properly.

She then returned to the group of madams, and continued to chat with them. After a while, Madame Jiang called out to her, "Qingluo, it's almost time for you to go to the back. Change your clothes first."

As soon as she entered the room, she saw that there was a table in the middle of the room with three sets of clothes neatly folded on it. The collars were pointed eastward, showing both the girl's talents and the will to fight.

Mo Fu was currently waiting inside the room. At the side of the room, there was a small room, and when Mo Fu brought Qing Luo in, she discovered that this small room had actually turned into a simple bathroom.

Mo Fu helped Qingluo to quickly wash up. She first helped her put on her children's clothes, which were the kind of clothes that could only indicate that the girl was still young and not old enough.

When the music started, it was first the master who came in. This ceremony was something that Qingluo couldn't see, but fortunately, she didn't see it. Otherwise, she would have cried herself to death.

The guests who came to celebrate did not expect that the one sitting on the host's seat would actually be the Madam Hou of An Nation, and logically speaking, Qingluo's parents should be sitting on the host's seat. However, Qingluo was already married out of the Zheng Mansion.

Although Old Madam Zheng and Master Zheng had come to Prince Yi's Mansion today, one was left in the outer court and the other was placed in the guest seating.

Old Mistress Zheng knew that Prince Yi was still angry at the Zheng Mansion, but there was nothing she could do. The fact that she could enter the Duke's Mansion today was already a blessing from the Prince.

The music started again as the main guest entered the stage. Because of the previous owner's position, he had actually become the Madam Hou of An Kingdom. Everyone started to guess who the main guest would be this time. The main guest would need a female senior who possessed both talent and talent.

They wanted to make a public comment as well. Although the identity of this important guest was at the age of 15, he had the greatest reputation. The ladies waited for a long time, but they could not see the man coming out of the crowd.

The person who appeared at the entrance of the hall also caused an uproar in the room. This made Qingluo, who was waiting in the inner room, very curious, and she almost couldn't control herself and ran to the door to peek, but she was pushed back by Mo Fu.

The An Kingdom's Madam Hou, as the host, personally stood up to welcome the empress dowager. "Empress Dowager!" She gave the Empress Dowager a large bow before helping her to sit at the head of the table.

"You are actually the one giving up the position of host today?" "Chenqie also didn't expect that the empress dowager would be the guest of honor." The two of them couldn't help but smile at each other. There were too many unexpected things about the wedding ceremony.

After all the guests had been arranged to sit at the viewing stand, the An Kingdom's Madam Hou sat at the host's seat and began his speech. After he finished, the admirers walked out. This time it was Grand Princess Ning Yuan who came out.

They could only say that this Princess Yi's fate was too good, and that they could even invite such a guest of honor or guest of honor. In reality, Princess Ning Yuan really wanted to be the guest of honor, but the guest of honor needed an elder, so she was eliminated first.

Under her repeated struggles to obtain the position of admirer, Princess Ning Yuan washed her hands first and stood at the western side of the main hall. Then, Qingluo was helped out of the main hall by Mo Fu to the center of the hall.

She first paid her respects to all the guests present before walking to the west side, preparing to let the admirers comb her hair. However, when she knelt down and raised her head, and saw the An Guo Madam Hou sitting in front of her, tears instantly fell like rain, unable to be controlled any longer.

Mo Fu was so anxious that she was at a loss for what to do, but Wang Zirou, who was following by the side, was a little quick-witted. She first gave the comb in the tray to Grand Princess Ning Yuan to help her comb her hair, while she took a kernels from the tray and stuffed it into Qingluo's hands.

In his heart, he was still rejoicing. Luckily, he had requested to be the host. Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would have been the laughing stock of Qingluo.

Grand Princess Ning Yuan combed Qingluo's hair and placed the comb in the tray, facing south. At this time, the empress dowager also stood up, with the Madam Hou of An Guo standing by her side. The empress dowager went to wash her hands, and then she and the duke of An Guo bowed to each other before returning to their respective seats.

At this point, Qingluo turned to the east and sat down. Zi Rou carried Lupa and her hair over to Qingluo, and the Empress Mother immediately walked up to her and announced in a loud voice, "On the auspicious day of the first month, you will be dressed in Canadian clothing, and you will be abandoned, and your life will be given to you, and your life will be given to you."
