Ling'er went to the cabinet and took some of her treasured jewelry, all of which were new, and brought them to the kang table.

"Sister-in-law, we met in a hurry last time, but this time I'm prepared, and I'll give it to you."

Jiamei swallowed her saliva looking at the jewelry, "These are too precious, why don't you keep them as a dowry?"

"My mother will prepare it for me when the time comes. This is a little wish from my sister-in-law. You must keep it?"

"Then, thank you, sister-in-law."

"That's right. We will be a family in the future, so we don't need to be polite to my sister-in-law."

Jiamei was a little embarrassed. When she came, the gifts she brought were all prepared by her concubine. They had everything, and they didn't prepare them specially for anyone.

Seeing her future sister-in-law treat her so kindly and kindly, she couldn't help feeling ashamed.

When she said goodbye to Qiao Mai, she didn't expect that there were a lot of gifts prepared here, some specially for her, some for her mother and concubine, some special snacks from Qiaoji snack shop, and various fruits , a whole two cartloads of gifts.

"Uncle, aunt, I'm too embarrassed to have so many presents."

"My family can bring it for you. Without you, even if you force me to take it out, it's impossible. Take it, you're welcome."

Jia Mei hurriedly saluted the two, then got into the carriage and returned to the palace with two carts of gifts.

In the auspicious palace, the imperial concubine is waiting for her daughter. She believes that based on her usual teaching to children, Jiamei will never embarrass her.

Sure enough, when her daughter came back with two carts of gifts, she knew that the Qiao family loved her daughter very much, otherwise, why would they bring so many gifts.

"How about going to Qiao's house?"

Thinking of the advice of her future mother-in-law, she smiled at the imperial concubine.

"It's okay, come here, move those things into the house quickly."

Jiamei looked at those gifts and asked people to put all the precious ones on the table.

"Concubine Mu, this is what my aunt asked me to give you. These are for my daughter. Those on the ground are snacks and various fruits. She said that they are for us to try something new."

"I heard that the food at Qiaoji Snack Shop is very popular?"

"That's right, you can't go out of the palace, otherwise, my daughter will definitely take you to taste it, but it doesn't matter, my daughter will bring you back whatever you want to eat when you go out of the palace."

At this moment, a voice came in from outside: "Who said you can't go out of the palace, next time I go out in Weifu, I will definitely take your mother with me,"

It turned out that after the emperor woke up, he was annoyed by what happened last night, so he strolled to the Xiangrui Palace.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

The mother and daughter hurriedly saluted the emperor, and the emperor sat directly at the table, and he pointed with his finger.

"Jiamei, are these given to you by the Qiao family?"

"Yes, my son was invited by Aunt Qiao to go to Qiao's house this morning."

"Well, don't even mention it, Mrs. Qiao is very good at business. She gave your mother and concubine a set of priceless jewelry last night. You went today and didn't let you go back empty-handed."

"How much does it cost back and forth, and she has to prepare a dowry for Jiamei."

"She has a lot of silver. After driving away those two unconscionable adopted sons, she returned more than one million silver at once. Not to mention, her snack shop and the property in Shexian County cost hundreds of thousands of taels a year. In terms of money, she is a rich woman, she is not short of money, if you give it, you want it, if you don't, you are a fool."

"Daddy, the Qiao family has given you a lot of rare fruits, how many can I pick for you to try?"

"Okay, have you tried it at Qiao's?"

"Yes, they are all delicious."

"Can her family sell the ones that don't taste good, haha!"

Taking advantage of Jiamei's effort to hold the fruit, the imperial concubine opened her mouth and finally asked.

"Your majesty, my concubine knows that you are upset, so I shouldn't ask, but I still want to ask, how are the empress and Princess Yihe?"

"It's being diagnosed and treated, and it may not be cured in a while. I came here to ask you, how about leaving the harem to you?"

"The concubine is naturally willing to help the emperor share the burden, but you also know that the concubine has never asked about the affairs of the harem and is not very familiar with managing the harem. If someone in the palace has this ability, it is better to let that person take care of it."

"You, your temper is always like this, you don't fight or grab,"

"The concubine only hopes that Jiamei will marry a good family, and then live out this life in peace."

"Why don't I think so, but in the emperor's house, there is no real peace and security."

At this time, Jiamei had already brought the fruit, "Father, please try this. This is a mango, very sweet but not sour. This is a mangosteen. The white flesh inside is sweeter than this mango."

The old emperor stopped talking to the imperial concubine, and happily took the fruit handed by his daughter and began to eat it.

"Father, you see that you have been promoted to the official position of Master Yuan, and then to the official position of Yuan Haichuan, and you have also given a rank to Mrs. Qiao. Last night, Mrs. Qiao gave such a precious gift to the mother and concubine, and today I asked my son to bring it back. Two carts of gifts, do you see?"

"From what you mean, do you want to ask for something for the Qiao family?"

"Father, you forgot that the Qiao family still has a daughter. Those who should be promoted have been promoted, but her daughter is still nothing?"

The emperor was taken aback, "Look at Father, forget about this matter, she is your sister-in-law, and what you bring out is not a joke or a joke."

Jia Mei was overjoyed when she heard that, "Father, why don't you give Qiao Wanling a grade too?"

"What did you say to seal it?"

"Since Mr. Yuan is a prince with a different surname, is it hereditary?"

"Of course, your future husband-in-law will be the prince, which is worthy of your status."

"Then my future sister-in-law is the princess?"

"It is a must"

"Then give her a title and confirm her identity as the princess."

"You, you, you don't eat the food from Qiao's family for nothing, and you have a conscience, okay, how about I make her the princess of Tianshui?"

"Tianshui, her family used to be in Tianshui Town, and it's good to use the name of the town as a title, then Princess Tianshui, I'll thank you, Father, on behalf of Linger."

"Haha, I will make an order when I get back. Let Eunuch Yu go to Qiao's house tomorrow to make an order, and write down the hereditary inheritance of the different surname Wang. Are you at ease?"

The mother and daughter knelt in front of her to thank her, and the emperor's mood suddenly improved.

"In a few days, I'll take you to Qiaoji snack shop. I haven't tried many of them."

"Father, you don't know that when I went to Qiao's house today, there are many dishes that you have never tasted before."

"What's the matter, with you, I have many reasons to go to his house to eat and drink, haha!"

When the imperial decree arrived at Qiao's house on the sixth day of the lunar new year, Yuan Jiaqi and Ling'er received the decree. Qiao Mai never received the decree. As long as there is an order down to Qiao's house, she will not be at home.

This incident only slightly surprised the people in the capital, and there was nothing more. After all, the emperor preferred the Qiao family, so he gave all the obvious things to the Wang family with a different surname. The little princess and the little prince, there must be of.

It's just a pity, if the two adopted sons don't leave, they can follow along.

Even if they can't inherit the throne in the end, the emperor will promote them, but now, they are still fourth-rank military generals, no matter how hard the Yue family works for them, the emperor's hurdle is still there, and the Yue family can't do anything about it.

Why did the emperor want to block them? Isn't that obvious?

He just saw that these two people were not pleasing to the eye, and wanted to vent his anger on behalf of his in-laws, and instead of demoting their posts, he blocked them and refused to give them a promotion.

Jiang Yuanpeng didn't know about this at first, and he went out early and returned late every day, and it was the Duke of Zhen who told him about it.

He was silent after listening with a sullen face, seeing that the Qiao family was getting better and better, but he and his brother stopped here.

It's really not reconciled, he and his younger brother risked their lives and were torn down from the battlefield, why are they not as good as a scholar?

Now he has long separated himself from the Qiao family, calling Yuan Jiaqi and Yuan Haichuan scholars.

He was no longer the well-behaved boy in Qiao's house. He often secretly cursed Qiao's house in his heart, scolded Qiao Mai for being too vicious, and he was so small-minded that he couldn't tolerate his dead biological parents.

He can only keep these things in his heart and dare not put them on the bright side. If people find out, the first person who can't let him go is Murong.
