Chapter 53: Aunt Guifei

Aunt Guifei

Yin Fengzhan and Yin Fengxuan grew up together, and their bond was naturally the closest. So, even if Yin Fengxuan was usually mischievous and dissolute, he held his brother, Yin Fengzhan, in high regard. Therefore, upon hearing this, although Yin Fengxuan was unwilling, he still shut his mouth, glared at Nie Jinxuan behind them, and turned to walk away.

The three of them walked into the side hall. As soon as they entered, Yin Fengzhan bowed and saluted:

"This son greets Aunt."

Yin Fengzhan spoke in a low voice. Hearing this, Nie Jinxuan, who had followed them in, also hurriedly stepped forward and saluted:

"This daughter-in-law greets Aunt."

Nie Jinxuan did not know the rules of the palace very well, but following Yin Fengzhan's lead, she couldn't go too far wrong. Just as Nie Jinxuan finished speaking, she saw Zhang Guifei stand up from her seat and walk over.

"Hehe~, Zhan'er has come. Alright, alright, get up quickly..."

Zhang Guifei's voice was very pleasant, gentle and carrying a touch of kindness. As she spoke, she reached out to help Yin Fengzhan up. Then, she turned to Nie Jinxuan, and with movements that were gentle yet elegant, took Nie Jinxuan's hand.

"Hehe, you must be Jinxuan. Good, good, good, it's good that you've come, get up quickly~"

"Uh... thank you, Aunt."

Facing the friendly Zhang Guifei, Nie Jinxuan was slightly taken aback. She responded respectfully and then obediently raised her head... But the moment she looked up and saw Zhang Guifei, Nie Jinxuan was instantly stunned!

She saw that the Zhang Guifei before her had fair skin and features like a painting. Although she had reached middle age, she still retained her charm. At this moment, she wore a light blue satin dress embroidered with water patterns, and a gold-inlaid jade hairpin was inserted diagonally into her hair, making her look even more graceful and composed.

This was a woman who left a deep impression. Even as a woman herself, one couldn't help but sigh in admiration. At this moment, while Nie Jinxuan was staring at Zhang Guifei in a daze, Zhang Guifei smiled gently.

"Hehe, good child, I've finally seen you today. Look at this little face, it's truly exquisite. No wonder when I asked Zhan'er to bring you over before, Zhan'er was unwilling~!"

Zhang Guifei's words were clearly just polite social pleasantries, but regardless, saying them at this time made one feel comfortable. So, as soon as Zhang Guifei finished speaking, Nie Jinxuan smiled shyly.

"Thank you for the compliment, Aunt. Aunt is the true beauty; Jinxuan is but a willow, how could I deserve the word 'exquisite'? Besides, it is Jinxuan's fault for not coming to the palace to pay my respects to Aunt until half a year after our marriage. I hope Aunt will forgive me."

As she spoke, Nie Jinxuan bowed gracefully to Zhang Guifei. Seeing this, Zhang Guifei's eyes flashed, and she hurriedly helped Nie Jinxuan up.

"Oh, look at this little mouth. Alright, alright, we are all family, so..."

Clearly, Zhang Guifei was very satisfied with Nie Jinxuan's performance. But just then, before Zhang Guifei could finish her sentence, Yin Fengxuan, who was to the side, muttered in a low voice:

"Hmph, who is family with her?! Usually arrogant and domineering, but now she's acting all obedient. She really knows how to put on a show!"

Yin Fengxuan's voice was not loud, but it was heard clearly by everyone present. Before anyone else could speak, Zhang Guifei turned her head and glared at her own son.

"Xuan'er, what are you saying? Shut your mouth!"

After reprimanding Yin Fengxuan to his face, Zhang Guifei turned to Nie Jinxuan and smiled.

"Jinxuan, don't listen to this boy's nonsense. He has no seriousness. So don't worry, Aunt is here. Come, come, come, let's talk over here~."

As she spoke, Zhang Guifei took Nie Jinxuan's hand and walked toward the soft couch to the side... ===== CHAPTER 54 =====
