The eldest princess and Ji Yunwei heard that Lu Yunhong was ill, so they both came to visit him.
During this period of time, Ji Yunwei was busy preparing for the wedding, and rarely had time to spend time with the eldest princess.
However, when they arrived, they found Lu Yunhong holding his daughter and playing with the grape trellis in Xinghui Courtyard, while Wang Xiu was setting up a charcoal fire and putting up barbed wire, saying that he was going to prepare a barbecue.
The eldest princess looked at the sunny weather, the warm sun falling gently in the yard, and the flowers and trees blooming more energetically against the light.
On the long table that was carried out on the side, fresh oranges, sand berries, and grapes were placed. In the white-glazed narrow-mouth vase, there were also a few sprigs of beautiful pink roses.
Soon, the maids brought rose tea, chilled sour plum soup, and a plate of green tea cakes.
The leisurely atmosphere gave people a sense of tranquility over time. The eldest princess sat down directly and watched Wang Xiu busy. She didn't seem worried about Lu Yunhong at all.
The eldest princess couldn't help but ask: "You took sick leave but you are leisurely at home. Aren't you afraid that someone will file a complaint?"
Wang Xiu said with a smile: "They can go if they want. Even if recuperation is fake, recuperation for health is always true, right? He was drugged last night and jumped into the ice lake of Shuangshi Bridge and took a cold bath before returning.
of."
The eldest princess was shocked and looked towards Lu Yunhong in disbelief, only to see that Lu Yunhong acted like a normal person who only wanted to make her daughter happy.
Ji Yunwei sat down anxiously, raised his head, and asked nervously: "What's going on? Didn't you go to Master Mei's house? Why were you drugged?"
Wang Xiu glanced at Lu Yunhong and snorted: "Let him speak for himself."
But Lu Yunhong shied away: "If you want to do this, I'll call Pei Shan to speak."
Sure enough, when it came to Pei Shan, Wang Xiu immediately compromised.
She said to the eldest princess and Ji Yunwei: "A few days ago, Master Mei mentioned Mei Min and Pei Shan's marriage again, but we didn't agree, and then..."
Ji Yunwei said angrily: "What is this? We discuss marriage in private, forget it if it doesn't work out, and don't publicize it. Master Mei's mind is too narrow-minded."
The eldest princess frowned and guessed: "Mei Min should have done it."
Wang Xiu immediately gave the eldest princess a thumbs up and praised: "Your Highness was not personally raised by the late emperor. He still has a certain understanding of the conduct of the ministers in the court."
"Actually, I guessed it was Master Mei last night. The main thing I didn't expect was that Mei Min dared to offend Lu Yunhong."
After Wang Xiu finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel happy.
Ji Yunwei's worries at the beginning turned into bright eyes, and she even said with great anticipation: "Ah, if it was Mei Min who did it, then her fate will be obvious."
"It's so funny, can I actually see a woman who is worse off than Zheng Sihan?"
"Speaking of which, if the person she fell in love with was Yun Hong and she couldn't marry, so she resorted to this trick, I would respect her greatly. But she is clearly deliberately stirring up trouble and hurting innocent people. It's simply too bad."
The eldest princess said: "When her mother took her to the eldest princess's mansion, I found that the girl was too thoughtful. Although she had not entered the palace yet, she always felt superior to others. I don't know where her sense of superiority came from, but
She thought that since she was the daughter of a grand master, she could be the queen, and it was too good of a thought."
"Actually, I would say that my cousin is the candidate to be the queen. She comes from a noble family and has experienced the decline of her family without falling into despair. On the contrary, she has lived out her own life. Only such a girl is suitable to assist the emperor."
"It's a pity that she also likes your Pei Shan and is unwilling to enter the palace."
The eldest princess said, looking a little regretful.
Ji Yunwei said: "Pei Shan is so nice and well-behaved. Not to mention being a cousin, even I like him too!"
"Pah!" The eldest princess patted the long case and said displeasedly: "You are not allowed to say you like it."
Ji Yunwei wanted to explain that Pei Shan was a boy, their junior.
But seeing the angry look on the eldest princess's face, Ji Yunwei smiled and said: "I was wrong, I only like one person, and that is Your Highness."
"Come, let me feed you."
Ji Yunwei pinched the tea cake into thin pieces and fed it into the eldest princess's mouth with her own hands.
Wang Xiu saw it and said to them, "Why don't you chew it before feeding it?"
Ji Yunwei was stunned and his hands were shaking a little.
The eldest princess blushed and glared at Wang Xiu.
But Wang Xiu was not surprised and said: "Okay, I don't care about showing affection. If it affects my family Pei Shan, I want to expel him."
The eldest princess drank the scented tea she poured, then looked around and saw no sign of Pei Shan. Then she asked: "You have been talking for so long, where is Pei Shan? Isn't he back?"
Wang Xiudao: "In addition to the Mei family, many people came to visit today. I asked him to greet them."
The eldest princess couldn't help laughing: "Oh, now that you are working as a coolie, I thought you were so kind to Pei Shan?"
Wang Xiudao: "What does this mean? I plan to send him to Ji's house for a few days to let him learn some experience in getting married."
Ji Yunwei was surprised and said, "Isn't it bad to let Pei Shan handle the wedding for me?"
Wang Xiu smiled and said: "Arranging your wedding? He is willing to do it, but your father is not willing to do it? I just asked him to run errands for you and learn to buy some things needed for the wedding."
The eldest princess said: "Don't tell me yet, I guess it will work."
"Pei Shan is not young anymore. It would be great if he could stand upright."
"Of course, you treat him like a relative, why don't you just change your last name?"
Wang Xiudao: "Pei Shan is the name given to him by his parents. Even if his brother and sister-in-law are not good, their parents' kindness in raising him will always be there. What would it be like to let him change his surname?"
"Besides, Lu Yunhong and I don't care about this. If you like it, I'll let Xinran take your last name."
The eldest princess suddenly stood up and said excitedly: "This is what you said!"
Before Wang Xiu responded to her, he saw that she was already walking towards Lu Yunhong and his daughter, and shouted: "Xinran, Xinran, Zhao Xinran, from today on you will be called Zhao Xinran."
Then he took the person away from Lu Yunhong without any explanation, and said to Xinran: "Zhao Xinran, this sounds better than Lu Xinran."
"By the way, Xinran, I am your mother-in-law. It's okay if you don't want to be my daughter-in-law in the future, I will be your godmother."
"Xinran, call me godmother."
Lu Yunhong was empty-handed: "..."
Wang Xiu couldn't help but laugh at this scene: "..."
Ji Yunwei saw that Lu Yunhong and Wang Xiu looked like they had been cheated. He couldn't help it, so he lay on the long desk and laughed sullenly.
Speaking of which, this couple rarely meets their nemesis.
But now, because of her quick words, the eldest princess took advantage of her.
Is there anything more fun than this?
Lu Yunhong also walked over angrily at this moment and complained to Wang Xiu: "It's all your fault!"
Wang Xiu quickly hugged his waist and said, "Oh, I was wrong. How about I give you another daughter?"
Lu Yunhong glared at her resentfully, then involuntarily took her hand away and said in an unreachable tone: "You have a beautiful idea!"
