In the flower hall, the Duke Protector's family had been welcomed in, including Qiao Xinyue's eldest brother and sister-in-law, as well as the second brother and second sister-in-law who had brought their children. It was very lively.
Guan Feng also changed into clean clothes and sat beside the Duke, listening to the old father-in-law's advice until Mei Wen'er and Ye Chenfeng came, and everyone stood up to greet them.
"No need to be polite, sit down quickly." Ye Chenfeng said and walked towards the grandson of the Duke of Guo, "What's your name?"
"If you reply to the prince, a small name will live long, and a big name will bring prosperity." Second Young Mistress Qiao immediately replied, and pushed the son in her arms to Ye Chenfeng.
"Ah?" Xiao Chongli, who was held by Ye Chenfeng, looked curiously at the little brother in front of him.
The little guy from the Duke's house was also looking at Xiao Chongli intently. After a while...
"Ah!" Xiao Chongli suddenly reached out and grabbed him!
Xiao Changshou shrank immediately and wanted to hide in his mother's arms.
The Duke couldn't help laughing and scolding, "What are you hiding from? The young prince is younger than you, are you still afraid of him?"
"Let them lie down and play together." Mei Wen'er said, and asked Yun Zhong to move in the prepared small bed.
It was specially made for the two mistresses, with fences on all sides. It had been used in the Prime Minister's Mansion earlier, but now it has been moved to the Prince's Mansion.
Mrs. Qiao Er saw it and couldn't help but praise: "This is a good little bag, and the child won't be afraid of turning it out even if it's in it."
Mei Wen'er was about to respond, but Qiao Xinyue said: "With grandma watching, why bother?"
"My son is not something that mama can look at." Mei Wen'er smiled and poked the fat boy's leg, and then looked at the real owner - Qiao Xinyue.
I had heard about this person in Yunzhou, but this was the first time I saw him. He seemed to be a good-looking person. Due to his favorable conditions since he was a child, his face naturally had a look of pride.
In the past, "Mei Wen'er" was more conciliatory than before, but now Mei Wen'er has restrained herself and developed a confident and generous demeanor.
Facing Qiao Xinyue's proud look, she smiled slightly and sat quietly next to Ye Chenfeng, who held her hand when she sat down.
Qiao Xinyue's eyes froze, and the Protector of the Kingdom smoothed things over for her and said with a smile: "That's true, I saw it last time. The young prince is not an easy master to control, and the prince has a headache."
"It doesn't matter, the man has to be noisy! Otherwise, who would be my son?" Ye Chenfeng was not afraid of Zai'er making trouble at all, but was afraid that Zai'er would be too honest and unable to protect his sister.
However, he had just finished saying this! Second Young Mistress Qiao over there shouted, "Longevity is a no-no!"
It turned out that Xiao Changshou saw the little girl and was so excited! He was about to pounce on her, so fast! Mrs. Qiao didn't even have time to stop her.
However, Xiao Chongli's movements were faster! He suddenly turned over and used the force of a mountain to crush Xiao Changshou, who was rushing towards him!
"..."
All the adults in the hall were silent.
"ah!"
Xiao Chongli also gave Xiao Changshou a beating!
"Can't!"
Mei Wen'er immediately stood up to stop him and had already pulled Zai'er off.
Only then did Xiao Changshou react and cried "Wow".
Mrs. Qiao Er said angrily, "You can't carry out a sneak attack yourself, and you still have the nerve to cry?"
"It's Chong Li's fault." Mei Wen'er nodded the child's head and lectured: "How can you hit someone?"
"Ah~" Xiao Chongli, who was smiling, didn't know whether he understood or not. Anyway, he was looking silly and happy, staring at the crying little Changshou with bright eyes.
The Lord Protector was all amused and said, "My lord, this son of yours is indeed your son! He can't even crawl, but he can beat people up."
"Hahaha..." Ye Chenfeng said with a hearty smile, "Your grandson is not good at it. He is half a year older and you can't win. You have to practice!"
"You have to practice, brother! Train your little boy well in the future." The Protector of the Country caressed his beard and said with a smile.
Second Young Master Qiao naturally agreed, and the atmosphere of chatting between the two families became harmonious.
By the time the Lord Protector got up to return home, the second young lady had already become quite friendly with Mei Wen'er.
Little Changshou stopped crying a long time ago and still liked to play with little Chongli who was lying down, while Nannan fell asleep again.
After sending the family away, Mei Wen'er said: "Since the bug attack, my daughter has almost eaten and slept, and slept and eaten, just like when she was born."
"But my body has become much stronger." Ye Chenfeng squeezed the little girl gently and could clearly notice that the girl had gained a little weight and her skin color had become more rosy.
Mei Wen'er looked at it for a moment, nodded, and asked again: "I see that this marriage has wronged us."
Ye Chenfeng, who didn't answer, frowned. He was obviously not very satisfied with Qiao Xinyue, but the decree had been issued and the wedding date had been chosen.
"Let's see, if it doesn't work, just let it go." Ye Chenfeng didn't want to give in, but...
Qiao Xinyue on the other end obviously still felt that she had been wronged, "Mom, I don't want to get married."
"It's not your mother's say in this matter, it's your father's decision." The Duke's wife shook her head and sighed, "The champion is not bad, a young talent. The important thing is that after you marry, you will be the first lady, so don't suffer."
"But my daughter doesn't like it!" Qiao Xinyue couldn't help but cry when she thought of the regent who, although young, was no less powerful than her father, "Mother, I would like to be my concubine, I..."
"Don't say this again! The decree has been issued, and you should take it into consideration. Fortunately, no scandal happened this time, otherwise your life would be over! A woman's reputation is more important than anything else." Madame Guogong persuaded her kindly.
Qiao Xinyue was still unwilling to give in, and even thought that if the Princess Regent hadn't been meddling this time, she would have been able to marry into the palace as she wished!
Mei Wen'er vaguely saw her thoughts, otherwise she would not have said that the marriage had wronged Guan Feng, but the engagement was so important that she could not say more, so she could only help Guan Feng decorate the new residence.
.
The days were busy, and in April, eight-month-old little Chongli could crawl. Little Nannan could also crawl a short distance, but not as neatly as her brother.
"You little bastard, you crawled all dirty again. Are you in a rat's nest?" Mei Wen'er was speechless! She's only eight months old, and she has to change several sets of clothes a day to stay motivated, no matter how old she is.
Is that enough?
"Ka~" The cheerful little Chongli just kept having fun, and even pulled his sister from time to time, causing the little girl to fall down unsteadily.
Mei Wen'er, who quickly grabbed Zai'er's hands, felt her head pounding, "If you keep bullying your sister, you will be beaten by your father again tonight!"
"Ka~" Xiao Chongli didn't take it seriously, but the little girl who was angry at him suddenly kicked him in the face!
The action was so fast! Mei Wen'er was stunned, "Nanny..."
"..." Xiao Chongli, who was kicked over, was also dumbfounded.
"Pfft!" Aunt Yun looked amused, "Our little princess is not someone to be bullied."
"Ka~" Xiao Chongli also started to get silly and happy, and even moved closer to his sister, not sure if he still wanted to be beaten.
Mei Wen'er looked helpless, but Chen Chun hurriedly came to report, "Mother, something happened!"
