Xiao Jiujiu knew in her heart that Ruan Mianmian must go to Prince Jing's Mansion. She was a little curious, but she would know everything after asking her grandmother.
"That's right." Ruan Geng remembered, "After going to court today, the emperor asked about you. Please take some time to ask your grandmother to take you to the palace to express gratitude."
"Thank you." Ruan Mianmian blinked, "Thank you for what?"
Ruan Geng smiled and said: "Princess Linglong, after the emperor bestowed the title, you haven't entered the palace to thank me yet."
"Oh, that's good, I can see my little brother again." Ruan Mianmian was quite happy.
"Be careful and don't cause trouble for me again. Recently, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the eldest princess have started to quarrel." Ruan Geng reminded.
Ruan Mianmian clapped her little hands and applauded: "My little brother has awakened and finally figured out that good people are ridiculed, and good people are bullied."
"Don't gloat about your misfortune. The eldest princess has the support of the queen, so the prince probably won't be able to take advantage of her."
"It's okay, little brother is a smart man. The first step he takes means that he has a plan in mind." Ruan Mianmian had an inexplicable trust in Li Yu.
Ruan Geng stood up: "Grandpa is going out. I made an appointment with that old guy Jichang to play chess. I just happened to tell him about Miss Lin and asked him about the jade pendant."
"Then I'll go pay my respects to my grandmother and chat with her by the way."
"Go, your grandmother has been talking about you since early morning."
Ruan Mianmian left the study and walked to the side hall of Fu'an Hall. As she expected, her grandmother was chatting with Aunt Yun.
"grandmother."
"Hey, Mianmian is here, Nanny Yun, go and ask the kitchen to bring the prepared cakes to her for her to try."
"Oh, grandma must have heard the grunt in my stomach?"
"Yes, my grandmother heard it from far away."
Aunt Yun laughed and said, "The old lady has prepared it a long time ago. Just wait for the princess to come, and the slave girl will go and bring it immediately."
"It's time for you, grandma." Ruan Mianmian said obediently.
When Grandma Yun passed by Ruan Mianmian, she touched her cheek before walking out.
Turning around and throwing herself into Mrs. Ruan's arms, Ruan Mianmian rubbed her and asked with a smile: "Grandma, do I look like Xue'er?"
"You and Xue'er both love to act coquettishly." Mrs. Ruan smiled and picked up Ruan Mianmian. "You also love to run outside."
"Grandma, are you blaming me?" Ruan Mianmian put her arms around Mrs. Ruan's neck, "I'm afraid you'll dislike me, so I'll take you out to play next time."
Mrs. Ruan gently tapped Ruan Mianmian's nose: "I just know how to play. On the contrary, grandma will take you out to play next time."
"Grandma, would you like to take me to Prince Jing's Mansion to have some fun?"
"Why did you suddenly mention Prince Jing's Mansion?" Mrs. Ruan frowned, "That place is not a good place."
Ruan Mianmian blinked: "Don't grandma know? Someone posted a message asking me to go."
"What?" Mrs. Ruan's face darkened, "The post was posted, and no one told me about it."
At this moment, Grandma Yun walked in the door carrying sliced cakes.
"Ayun, do you know about the post from Prince Jing's residence?" Mrs. Ruan asked.
Aunt Yun laughed along with her: "I was just about to report to you that Princess Jing personally sent a message saying that Prince Jing's Mansion held a Qinyin Search for Friends Conference and invited the princess to come over and listen to the piano."
Mrs. Ruan's face was full of disdain: "How old do you think she is? She messes around all day long. Mianmian is only three years old, what kind of piano does she listen to? If you want to see my granddaughter, just say it openly. Is it necessary to play nine tunes and eighteen bends?"
"
It seemed that he had expected that his grandmother had a grudge against Princess Jing. Ruan Mianmian blurted out in her mind: "If my grandmother doesn't like it, then I won't go."
"Go, why don't you go? If you don't go, you think I'm scared. My granddaughter is so smart and cute, it's just right for her to see." Mrs. Ruan agreed readily, which was unexpected.
Ruan Mianmian secretly thought to herself, seeing as her grandmother and Princess Jing were not dealing with each other, she really had to learn from Sister Lin, maybe it would come in handy then.
Thinking of this, Ruan Mianmian told Mrs. Ruan everything she had just said to her grandfather in the study about learning the piano and what she wanted.
"This is a very good arrangement." Mrs. Ruan thought for a while, "Ayun, take Mianmian to the warehouse and let her choose. If she likes it, I will give her the Qin as my dowry."
"Princess, Madam Ruan's piano is a rare item. Among other things, it has been treasured in our house for decades." Naturally, Mother Yun knew Madam Ruan's things best.
Ruan Mianmian was very happy to hear this. She knew the piano well and knew that there was a big difference between the sound of a good piano and an ordinary one.
"Thank you, grandma." Ruan Mianmian thanked her quickly.
"Old madam, the eldest madam is bringing Miss Ruolan to ask for an audience." A report from the maid suddenly came from outside.
The three people in the room, look at me and I look at you, why are they here here if they can't just stay next door?
"Ask them to come in." After Mrs. Ruan said that, she put down Ruan Mianmian, "Good boy, go to the back room and eat cut cakes with Grandma Yun."
"Okay." Ruan Mianmian was led by Granny Yun, and they walked into the back room and sat down in front of the table.
Aunt Yun served the cut cake, and Ruan Mianmian motioned for her to sit down and eat together. The two of them ate while looking outside.
Chen Wanyu took Qin Ruolan in to salute Mrs. Ruan and say hello.
The two of them sang together, one pretended to be a virtuous daughter-in-law and asked about the old lady's health and the old marquis with concern, while the other acted obediently and waited beside her.
Mrs. Ruan exchanged pleasantries casually. She had a lot of patience. The two of them went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and she waited leisurely without any rush.
Sure enough, after chatting for a while, Chen Wanyu tactfully said that the servants there were not taking good care of her, and the doctors she found outside were not good, so she wanted to go back home to raise the baby.
Grandma Yun and Ruan Mianmian looked at each other and smiled. They had only moved out for a few days but they couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to move back.
"You'll get used to it gradually." Mrs. Ruan replied neither softly nor hard, "Sooner or later, a big family will have to separate."
Chen Wanyu secretly cursed Mrs. Ruan. The old woman was too partial. The first bedroom was given away, but the second and third bedrooms were still in the house.
"Moving here suddenly, there are some gossips outside." Chen Wanyu tactfully reminded Mrs. Ruan to take into account the face of the Hou Mansion.
"Since you know it's just gossip, just ignore it." Mrs. Ruan came to block her, but she didn't like this little trick.
Qin Ruolan received Chen Wanyu's look and stepped forward: "Old madam, what you said makes sense. However, my aunt is pregnant and will inevitably not adapt to the new environment. Recently, she has not been able to eat well or sleep well, which naturally affects her abdominal pain.
The fetus was born.”
After hearing this, Mrs. Ruan finally showed some concern, her eyes fell on Chen Wanyu's belly: "Really?"
"I'm really not used to it." Chen Wanyu touched her face, "I feel better and have lost a little weight recently."
Mrs. Ruan looked at Chen Wanyu carefully and found that she was indeed a little thinner than before.
