Jiuer glanced at the signature at the end of the invitation, and then smiled to himself, knowing that the princess could not be troubled.
"How did you guess that?"
"Do you still need to guess? It will make my mother afraid to refuse directly, and she even asked Sister Shuang'er to send it over because she felt embarrassed. Who else could it be besides her?"
Shuang'er covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Jiu'er, don't you know how smart our princess is?"
"It's because I have a hat on my head that I'm so tall." Ruan Mianmian turned to Shuang'er, "Does mother mean that she doesn't want me to go to the appointment?"
Shuang'er nodded slightly and replied: "The third lady definitely doesn't want the princess to go, but after all, Princess Minghui's status is extraordinary. In the end, it is up to you to decide whether to go or not."
Without waiting for Ruan Mianmian to ask, Jiu'er looked at the invitation in his hand and said, "Princess Minghui invites you to a garden banquet on the second day of the first lunar month."
"Garden party?" Ruan Mianmian was somewhat interested, "Garden party? Which garden?"
Shuang'er interrupted and said, "I heard from the third lady that it was a newly built garden."
"Yi Shou Yuan." Ruan Mianmian blurted out.
Jiu'er nodded and said, "The princess is right. Princess Minghui's garden banquet will be held in the Queen Mother's Summer Palace."
Ruan Mianmian turned around and said, "Sister Shuang'er, please tell mother that I have to keep the appointment."
"The third lady has long guessed that the princess will definitely go back." Shuang'er said casually.
"Tell mother, please don't worry. My little brother should also go to the Queen Mother's garden. With him accompanying me, Li Minghui doesn't dare to do anything."
Shuang'er knelt down and said, "Yes, I will go back and report to the third lady."
Watching Shuang'er leave, Ruan Mianmian and Jiu'er slowly walked through the corridor towards her residence.
"Princess, do you really plan to go?"
"Why don't you go?" Ruan Mianmian smiled, "I heard that the exquisite scenery I designed is good. I originally wanted to find a chance to take a look, but this is not good."
"She actually let Princess Minghui use the Summer Palace to hold a banquet. The Queen Mother really loves her."
Ruan Mianmian stopped: "The Queen Mother does not love Li Minghui, she loves the King of Southern Xinjiang."
Jiu'er looked at the post in her hand and asked doubtfully, "But the person holding the banquet is Princess Minghui."
A bright smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Ruan Mianmian smiled and walked forward without answering, with Jiu'er following closely beside her.
Ruan Mianmian walked into his bedroom, walked to a familiar chair and sat down, then Ruan Mianmian spoke.
"It's been a few days since the King of Southern Xinjiang came to Beijing. Did you see any other news from the Emperor besides the so-called family banquet that night?"
Jiuer shook his head: "I haven't heard of any movement, maybe it's because the Chinese New Year is coming soon."
"Let alone the king of Southern Xinjiang, even if a high official from the border area comes to Beijing, it stands to reason that the emperor should host a banquet and entertain him, and be accompanied by hundreds of civil and military officials."
"The Princess is right." Jiu'er suddenly realized, "It's a little strange."
"I tell you that you don't understand the twists and turns in it." Ruan Mianmian stood up and said, "Change, I want to see my grandfather."
In Fu'an Hall, Mrs. Ruan had a gloomy face, and Grandma Yun stood beside her, looking equally unhappy.
Mrs. Ruan didn't know that there was nothing going on in Ding'anhou's residence. She already knew that Ruan Qi went to Lanyuan to stay alone in a room with Gu Ling'an.
After a moment of silence, Grandma Yun lowered her voice: "Old madam, the third master is confused."
"He's just confused." Mrs. Ruan frowned, "It's all my fault that I spoiled him too much since he was a child. He's already so old, but he still doesn't know what to do."
"In fact, I can't blame the third master for this matter."
"Mother Yun, please stop speaking for him." Mrs. Ruan became more and more uneasy as she thought about it, "Do you think they are already gone?"
"It's not that bad at the moment." Grandma Yun continued, "But the little maid in Lanyuan said it looked a bit too much."
Hearing what Aunt Yun said, Mrs. Ruan breathed a sigh of relief: "No matter what, it seems that Gu Ling'an can no longer stay in the Hou Mansion."
"The old lady is wise." Aunt Yun still had some worries, "After all, she is the benefactor of our Hou Mansion, and she is also a weak woman alone. If she is not handled well, it may have an impact on the reputation of our Hou Mansion."
"You are right." Mrs. Ruan sighed softly, "Let people keep an eye on us and report any trouble immediately."
"Don't worry, old madam. Today we have sent two more people into Lanyuan. There are enough people waiting inside now."
What Mother Yun meant was that Lanyuan was under the surveillance of her own people. Mrs. Ruan nodded slightly: "I can rest assured that you are doing the work."
"Should this matter be hidden from the Second Madam?"
"That's natural." Mrs. Ruan's face darkened, "After the first month, let's think of a way to arrange for Gu Ling'an."
"The old lady is right." Grandma Yun nodded repeatedly, "We can't let her stay anymore."
Mrs. Ruan thought about it and warned her again: "By the way, you can't tell the two of them about this."
"Who can't you tell?" Ruan Mianmian jumped in from the door, "Grandma, I'm here."
"Oh, my little darling, come here quickly and let me give you a hug." Mrs. Ruan immediately stretched out her arms with a smile on her face.
Ruan Mianmian flew into Mrs. Ruan's arms and wrapped her hands around her grandmother's neck.
"The princess seems to have grown taller." Aunt Yun looked at her grandparents and grandson with a smile.
"Oh, without my grandmother and Aunt Yun feeding me delicious snacks, how would I have grown taller?"
Mrs. Ruan said deliberately: "Ayun, listen, it turns out that this little breast dumpling came here because of snacks."
"No, no, Mianmian came here because she was thinking about her grandmother and Aunt Yun."
Aunt Yun walked out with a smile: "This slave is being given snacks by the princess."
Grandma and Aunt Yun talked about him, but Ruan Mianmian was not easily fooled: "Grandma, what were you and Aunt Yun talking about just now?"
"It's nothing, just some troublesome things caused by unrelated people in the house." Mrs. Ruan said lightly.
Ruan Mianmian gave up when her grandmother didn't want to say more, but she was sure in her heart that the matter must be related to the mother and daughter. Don't worry, you can find out more or less by taking the time to make some insinuations from Aunt Yun.
Aunt Yun quickly brought some snacks, and the grandfather and grandson huddled together and enjoyed the family happiness.
Mrs. Ruan's heart melted with cuteness as she looked at the bulging cheeks and big eyes of the little breasted dumpling. She secretly made up her mind to never allow the little little breasted dumpling to be harmed in the slightest, even if that person was her own.
Neither can my son.
"I've met the old Marquis."
"The old Marquis is back."
The sounds of servants saluting and talking came from outside, and Ruan Geng walked in from outside in a blink of an eye.
"Grandpa." Ruan Mianmian greeted him with snacks in his hand.
Ruan Geng grinned when he saw Ruan Mianmian: "Oh, why do you eat like a cat with a colorful face?" This chapter has been completed!
