Although the Queen Mother did not know much about it, she knew more or less about what happened back then. However, as she grew older and suffered from heart disease, she missed her younger son more and more.
Unable to bear the old man's pleading, in order to show his filial piety, the emperor had to let his troubled brother come back no matter how reluctant he was.
"Why did my grandfather suddenly think of telling me this?" Ruan Mianmian heard the clue, "I have nothing to do with the King of Southern Xinjiang coming to Beijing."
Ruan Geng sighed long and long: "Originally, I thought it had nothing to do with you, so although I had known about it for a long time, I didn't tell you. But today I heard something related to you."
"Want to hear the details?" Ruan Mianmian straightened his body and sat upright.
"Princess Huiming, the daughter of the King of Southern Xinjiang, is coming to Beijing with him this time."
"I don't know this Princess Huiming."
"You will naturally get to know each other when they arrive. The King of Southern Xinjiang had no intention of bringing her children to the capital, but she insisted on making a fuss just to see you."
"Princess Minghui, Minghui?" Ruan Mianmian muttered, his eyes widening, "This princess relies on her intelligence."
A look of appreciation flashed across Ruan Geng's face: "Look, it's causing trouble."
"Why do I feel that my grandfather is a little gloating about his misfortune?" Ruan Mianmian said unhappily,
"Nonsense." Ruan Geng restrained his gloating and put on a solemn expression.
Yes, Ruan Geng was indeed a little gloating about his misfortune, thinking that it would be a good thing for someone to cure Ruan Mianmian. This little baby is not even looked down upon by her father now.
Ruan Mianmian did not hesitate and asked with interest: "Grandpa, how old is Princess Minghui?"
"Princess Minghui is nine years old." Ruan Geng said thoughtfully, "After this year, she will be ten years old. Yes, it will be ten years."
"She is the same age as my little brother." Ruan Mianmian's mind was spinning quickly.
"Yes." Ruan Geng sighed with emotion, "Not only are they the same age, but they were also born on the same day of the same year."
Hearing this, Ruan Mianmian was stunned for a moment and then looked at Ruan Geng doubtfully: "How did my grandfather know so clearly?"
Ruan Geng coughed twice and lowered his head to cover it up. After calming down, he slowly said: "The King of Southern Xinjiang left the capital only after Princess Minghui was born."
"Oh." Ruan Mianmian agreed casually, blinking her eyes, feeling that her grandfather's expression was a little strange.
"This Princess Minghui is the only legitimate daughter of the King of Southern Xinjiang. She is much loved and has been extremely smart since she was a child."
"Really?" Ruan Mianmian suddenly became very interested in Princess Minghui, "So, even if she doesn't come to me, I will still come to her."
Ruan Geng changed the topic: "I have told you so much just to remind you not to show off or cause trouble. She will only be here for a month anyway."
Ruan Mianmian was unhappy after hearing this. After a moment of silence, he said, "Grandpa, I promise you not to show off or cause trouble."
The implication of Xiao Naituanzi is that if Princess Minghui comes to provoke her, she cannot be blamed.
In response to Ruan Mianmian's pouty little mouth, Ruan Geng couldn't say any more words of reprimand: "Okay, it's the same sentence, remember to use the word 'reason'."
"Mianmian would like to follow your grandfather's teachings." Xiao Naituanzi jumped off the chair and bowed respectfully to agree.
After coming out of Fu'an Hall, it was already dark, so Ruan Mianmian took Jiu'er back to Yanlongyuan.
Recently, because of avoiding Ruan Qi, Ruan Mianmian has had fewer opportunities to meet Zhou Yuning.
"Mother." Ruan Mianmian was just thinking when she saw Zhou Yuning coming in from outside.
Ruan Mianmian was very happy to see Zhou Yuning walking with a breeze, looking neat and energetic, completely different from the past.
"Mianmian." Zhou Yuning hugged the little breast dumpling.
Ruan Mianmian's little face rubbed Zhou Yuning's face: "Where did you come from, mother?"
"Come back from the embroidery workshop." Zhou Yuning let go of Ruan Mianmian and held her little hand and walked forward together.
"Is the embroidery shop business okay?"
"Business is good. My second uncle is going back to Jiangnan. I asked him to find a few more skilled embroiderers to help."
"That's good." Ruan Mianmian turned her head and looked at Zhou Yuning with a smile, "It seems that mother is very busy."
Zhou Yunning turned around and knelt down to face Ruan Mianmian face to face, and lowered her voice with joy on her face: "I have received several orders for custom-made wedding dresses, and each one has higher requirements than the last."
"The prices are naturally higher than the last." Ruan Mianmian playfully took over the words, "It seems that my mother is not short of money."
"Anyway, you don't have to worry about this now." Zhou Yunning tapped Ruan Mianmian's nose, "If you need to use it."
Ruan Mianmian reached out and covered Zhou Yunning's mouth: "Have you forgotten that I am a princess with a fiefdom?"
"Yes." Zhou Yunning slowly stood up and led Ruan Mianmian forward, "When I think about those years in Liluoju, it's like a dream."
While they were talking, the couple walked into the hall of the Yanlong Courtyard. When they stepped in, they didn't see Ruan Qi's figure, and Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but smile.
Zhou Yunning saw through Xiao Naituanzi's thoughts: "Are you so happy before you met him?"
"Mom, are you happy to have him back?"
After walking over and sitting down, Zhou Yuning looked at Ruan Mianmian: "I can't say whether I'm happy or not. I just feel that the stone in my heart has dropped and I feel more at ease."
"That's good." Ruan Mianmian walked over and held Zhou Yunning's hand, "That Gu Ling'an is disgusting to look at. Mother must find a way to get her away."
Zhou Yunning's eyes flashed: "She is not a peaceful person, but since I have taken precautions, she will not succeed."
"It's good that mother knows what's going on." Ruan Mianmian raised her head and smiled innocently, "It would be better to drive her out of the Marquis' Mansion."
"Not right now." Zhou Yuning smiled and hugged Ruan Mianmian.
Ruan Mianmian understood. Her mother said it couldn't be done right now, which meant that she had thought about it and it would be okay in a while.
"Actually, the root cause doesn't lie in Gu Ling'an either."
Zhou Yuning was stunned for a moment after Ruan Mianmian finished speaking. After a moment of silence, she nodded slowly.
"Mother, please remember, not only the Zhou family, but also me, are now more confident than you were in the past to do what you want to do. I hope you will not wrong yourself at any time." Ruan Mianmian paused for a moment before continuing.
, "Even if it's for me."
Zhou Yunning couldn't help but secretly sigh at how smart her precious daughter was. She answered seriously: "Okay, mother knows."
Ruan Mianmian hugged her neck with satisfaction after seeing her mother's serious look on her face and receiving her reply.
"Mianmian, can you tell mother why you don't recognize him? Is it really because he scolded you?"
Zhou Yunning had many speculations in her mind. After thinking about it, she still wanted to know her true thoughts from Ruan Mianmian.
"He doesn't understand me, so although what he said is a bit excessive, it's not unforgivable." Ruan Mianmian smiled slightly, "The most important thing is whether he treats you well or not. I'll wait to see how he behaves."
