The villa was particularly lively at night, with almost everyone in the yard and several piles of charcoal fires lit.
The prince brought several of his friends, the youngest of whom was about five years old, and the elder who was eight or nine years old.
Wang Xiu asked his servants to set up a special table for them. There was delicious sour plum soup, meat slices ready to be grilled, and some cooked fried rice.
Wang Xiu asked the prince to learn to entertain his friends, and if he needed anything, he could ask his servants to get it.
The prince first gave them sour plum soup, and then fried rice. Finally, the children got together to barbecue and ate very deliciously. The prince was also very happy, but when he saw one of the children wrapping the grilled meat slices with lettuce, and
When he didn't eat, he asked, "Why don't you eat?"
The child was a little shy, but still mustered up the courage to say: "My sister is sick, and I want to bring food back to her."
The prince said: "Then you eat it first, and we will bake it later."
A child next to him said: "His sister is not sick, but angry. Because he gave you the little yellow dog yesterday, and her sister was unhappy."
The prince was a little at a loss. He looked at his friend and wondered whether he should return the little yellow dog.
At this moment, the boy quickly explained: "No, my sister is worried that you don't like Xiao Huang and will throw it away halfway."
The prince was stunned and said quickly: "I won't do it."
The boy said happily: "I knew you wouldn't, so I told my sister. She was just angry that I gave the little yellow dog away without telling her. She was not angry with you."
The prince said: "Then you should be more pretentious and I'll ask them to get you a food box, so your sister won't be angry."
The boy smiled and said: "Probably not, she likes eating meat very much."
Several children laughed and agreed, saying that they loved meat.
Wang Xiu heard this and asked the maid to add some pork belly and chicken skewers to them, but they had to eat it with vegetables to avoid being too greasy and indigestible.
After eating the barbecue, Wang Xiu found that the prince was missing again.
After asking Xu Xiao, I found out that the prince followed those children into the village. Fortunately, Pei Shan followed him.
Wang Xiu felt relieved after hearing this.
She stood up and took her daughter for a walk in the yard to eat. Lu Yunhong came closer, but Wang Xiu pushed him away because he felt too hot.
She missed her son and wondered if the eldest princess would be willing to bring her two children over to play when she sent a letter to Beijing.
So she took her daughter into her arms and kissed her again and again.
Lu Xinran didn't know if she felt her mother's depression, but she kept holding her neck and leaning on her shoulders obediently.
Lu Yunhong followed behind to tease her, but she ignored him, looking very arrogant.
Lu Yunhong said: "Xinran seems to be a bit precocious."
Wang Xiudao: "She just has a quiet temper. It's better for the little girl to be quiet and not make a fuss."
Lu Yunhong sighed and said: "Her three aunts were very noisy when they were young. Needless to say, you and I didn't know who they followed."
Wang Xiu smiled, glanced sideways at Lu Yunhong and said, "If you suspect that Xinran is not your biological child, just say so. I also want to find her a biological father."
Lu Yunhong suddenly became anxious and reached out to hug his daughter. Wang Xiu wouldn't hug him, so he chased after him and said, "Axiu, how can you say this in front of Xinran? Of course I am her biological father!"
"She is already precocious. If you tell her these things again, will she have random thoughts when she grows up?"
Wang Xiudao: "What's there to think about? It doesn't matter who the biological father is. Anyway, she is my biological child. Just recognize me."
Lu Yunhong said: "You are making excuses, but Xinran is obviously my biological child."
Wang Xiu glanced at him up and down and sneered: "Your biological child? Can you give birth to children?"
Lu Yunhong: "..."
Others either pursed their lips and smiled, or fled the scene quickly, but they did not dare to get involved.
Lu Yunhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He walked directly to a chair nearby and sat down. He sighed and said, "Why don't I stop fighting with you?"
At this time, Lu Xinran suddenly stretched out her hand towards him, as if she wanted her father to hug her.
Wang Xiu couldn't resist her, so he had to hand her over, then reluctantly patted her little buttocks and said: "You know how to protect your father at such a young age?"
Lu Yunhong hugged his daughter with a smile on his face and said happily: "I just said she is my biological child."
Wang Xiu teased: "It would be great if you could give birth. I want two more."
Lu Yunhong weighed his daughter and said seriously: "Nonsense, a couple can only have two children, and we already have one."
Wang Xiu was stunned and asked: "Did Dayan legislate it? A couple can only have two children? What about those families who have more children?"
Lu Yunhong said: "What else can we do? People have a lot of property, and worst of all, they have a lot of wives and concubines. How can you compete with them?"
Wang Xiu: "..."
So what? It really can’t be compared!
After a while, Lu Xinran fell asleep in Lu Yunhong's arms. The little guy ate well, slept well, and grew well. Holding it heavy in his hands, you can feel that the child is getting older day by day.
.
Lu Yunhong gently rested his chin on his daughter's shoulder, then looked at Wang Xiu tenderly, and said softly: "Asleep."
Wang Xiudao: "Take it to Grandma Fang? Ask if the room has been scented with medicine, and remember to open some windows for ventilation."
Lu Yunhong nodded to express that he understood, and then carried his daughter into the house.
Xu Xiao and Yao Yu were drinking tea in the side hall, Lu Yunzhu and Xu Yanxin were talking in the tea room, and the servants were performing their duties. Except for Pei Shan and the others, they had not returned yet. The whole villa was leisurely and comfortable, and it was really a good vacation place.
When Pei Shan and the prince came back, it was already late at night.
It was the first time for the prince to play so heartily, and he felt a little guilty. He was worried that he would be scolded if he came back late, and he did not dare to ask the servants to wait on him. Pei Shan had no choice but to go to the kitchen to fetch him water to wash up, but he saw Xu Yanxin still in the kitchen.
Didn't go back to the house.
Their eyes met, both of them felt a little embarrassed.
At this moment, the side hall asked for hot water.
The maid came over to send a message, Xu Yanxin said quickly: "I'll go."
After saying this, she nodded slightly to Pei Shan and walked towards the side hall with hot water.
Pei Shan didn't pay attention at first. He got some hot water and was about to go back. When he passed by the side hall, he saw Xu Yanxin making tea for Xu Xiao and Yao Yu. Xu Xiao said, "Why is it you, maid?"
Xu Yan thought: "Am I not your little maid?"
Xu Xiao suddenly laughed and nodded quickly.
Xu Yanxin hurried out after adding some tea to Yao Yu, and bumped into Pei Shan again. This time, Pei Shan saw clearly the joy in her eyes, and her smile that had not gone away, like a white camellia blooming quietly at night.
Same.
Such beauty is gentle and joyful.
She seems to... like Yao Yu.
Pei Shan thought, nodded slightly, and went to the prince's room with hot water.
