Chapter 6417

"Don't be so reserved, go play if you want, you are still children. However, since you are married, you should know your responsibilities and focus on having children." The Queen Mother waved her hand and let everyone go.

Ping An did not leave, but sat there to make tea for the Queen Mother.

"Old Eighth Wife, it's good that you stay and talk to me. I haven't thanked you yet, you saved our Meng family's children."

"The Queen Mother is too kind, how can a granddaughter-in-law deserve the thanks? As a minister, it is my duty to save the masters." Ping An felt that he was getting more and more down-to-earth now, and he was very good at flattering.

The Queen Mother certainly liked what he said, "What are you talking about, kid? We are a family now, and you are the master!"

"Yes, my granddaughter-in-law must remember that she will not embarrass our royal family."

"How can you embarrass yourself? Now the people like you very much, and I know you have done a lot of good things."

"Then does the Queen Mother know that I have a farm in the suburbs? I have a lot of delicious and fun things there, all new varieties. If the Queen Mother doesn't mind, I will send you some new things one day, and I guarantee you will like them." Ping An spoke more casually. Since he had expressed his determination, they were now a family, so of course he had to be more friendly so that the old man would like them.

"I heard... I heard what you did..."

"Mahjong." Ping An said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes, is that fun?"

"Very fun, and it's the best way to kill time when you're bored! I'll make a set for you when I go back, and then teach you how to play."

"Okay, I'm bored in this palace, I can find the concubines to play with." The Queen Mother became happy.

"Then what do you have to eat on your farm?" the Queen Mother asked.

Ping An then talked about some fruits that she had planted that were not available in this era, and even drew them for the Queen Mother to see. The Queen Mother's eyes were straight, and she wanted to taste them.

After coaxing the Queen Mother for an hour, Ping An said that she was going to appreciate chrysanthemums. In fact, she went to find Chu Jun. After all, he was from the Eighth Prince's Mansion, and she had to take care of him.

But after looking around, she felt that she might have thought too much. Chu Jun didn't need her care at all. She sat alone in a pavilion, and there was no one beside her.

"It's quiet here. Concubine Chu likes quietness?" Ping An looked at the girl's world-weary face and felt that this girl was a person with a story.

"Greetings, Princess." Chu Jun immediately stood up and saluted.

Ping An asked her to stand up and sat down.

"I have always liked quietness and don't like bustles." Chu Jun replied respectfully.

"Oh, are you like this at home?"

"Almost."

"..."

"Princess, please have tea." The maid poured her a cup of tea.

Ping An took it up and drank two sips, and didn't say anything else, just looking at the pots of chrysanthemums on the side.

The time was almost up, so the Queen Mother asked everyone to disperse.

Ping An and Chu Jun left together. When they passed an archway, Chu Jun staggered forward two steps. Ping An grabbed her and prevented her from falling.

Looking to the side, a woman was walking forward as if nothing had happened, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

Ping An pushed Chu Jun away, stepped forward and slapped the woman in the face.

Screams rang out, the woman looked incredulous, and the maid next to her immediately shouted, "You are so bold, you dare to hit our Tenth Prince's Consort!"

"I am the Eighth Prince's Consort! I am your sister-in-law, what's wrong with hitting you?" Ping An took a step forward, scaring the Tenth Prince's Consort back a step.
