It seems that the key person now is Mr. Shangguan.
All the concessions that Grandpa is making now are to protect Aunt Yunmiao.
Everyone has their weaknesses, and my grandfather’s weakness is naturally my aunt...and her.
Now, the only way to take the next step is to meet the current aunt and Mr. Shangguan first.
Yunzheng shook Old Prince Yun's hand and smiled, "Grandpa, since I'm back, let's have a meal together as a family."
She deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of "family".
Prince Yun is not a dull person. He knows what his precious granddaughter is going to do as soon as he hears it.
Prince Yun immediately summoned someone and said in a loud voice: "Instruct the kitchen to prepare some meals that Zheng'er likes to eat, and then go tell Miao'er that her niece is back and ask her to gather in the hall."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Not long after, the news of Miss Yunzheng's return had spread throughout Prince Yun's Mansion, and she was even more proud. In an instant, Prince Yun's Mansion was filled with joy, and the servants all had happy faces.
Many servants wanted to take a peek at Yunzheng. After all, he was the first student of the Holy Academy to become famous since the founding of the Chu Kingdom.
And at this moment——
Miao Pavilion.
A woman was looking in the mirror, applying her makeup carefully. There was a trace of amorous feelings lingering at the end of her eyes, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her lips. She was obviously extremely satisfied.
"Miss, you are so beautiful. I'm sure Mr. Shangguan will fall in love with you when he sees you." The maid standing beside said with a flattering smile.
Yun Miao raised her hand to adjust the position of the hairpin, and could not deny what the maid said.
The maid continued to flatter her: "Miss, you are the most beautiful woman in the entire Chu Kingdom right now. Your father is Prince Yun, and your niece is a student of the Holy Academy. Not even the royal princess dares to offend you easily."
"How come Mr. Shangguan doesn't like such a distinguished young lady?"
Hearing this, Yun Miao smiled with satisfaction, "That's natural."
Just when the maid wanted to continue to please—
"Miss, the little lady is back!"
An anxious voice came from outside the door.
The comb fell from Yun Miao's hand and fell to the ground with a sound. Yun Miao's expression was a little strange, with a hint of repulsion.
"Come in!" Yun Miao said slowly.
After the little maid who came to report came in, Yun Miao focused her eyes on her, "What's going on? Tell me clearly."
The little maid knelt and reported with sincerity, "The young lady is back. She is in the prince's study now. I heard that the prince will hold a family banquet to welcome her back."
Yun Miaoyou frowned, why did Yunzheng come back suddenly?
She clasped her palms with her fingertips, then stood up, calmly, "Family dinner? Then go see my little niece."
Not only Yunmiao was informed of this news, but also Mr. Shangguan who lived in Xiyuan.
In Xiyuan.
A man wearing a white brocade robe was holding a book in his hand. Although his appearance was not too eye-catching, he was considered good-looking in the Chu Kingdom. There was a small red dot between his eyebrows, which looked like a birthmark.
He stood with his hands behind his hands and listened to the boy's words.
"Master Shangguan, our prince has invited you."
"The prince has never wanted to see me, why are you inviting me now?" The man's voice was clear and smooth, and it felt like a stream of clear water slowly flowing into the heart. His eyes looked at the young man in front of him gently.
The boy replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Because the young lady has returned home, the prince wants to hold a family banquet, so he invited you. I must have recognized you."
A hint of mockery flashed in the man's eyes.
Recognition?
The old man wanted to kill him!
"I'll go there later."
…
a long time.
The lobby of Prince Yun's Mansion.
Prince Yun sat at the head of the dining table, and Yunzheng sat next to him.
Yun Miao came with Guan Yi. The moment she entered the hall, she saw an old man with gray hair laughing heartily due to being teased, and the girl in red next to him had bright eyes and white teeth.
The girl quickly noticed their arrival. She stood up in surprise, ran to Yun Miao, held her hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "Aunt, long time no see, have you missed me?"
A flash of unnaturalness quickly flashed across Yun Miao's face.
She quickly adapted to it, and when faced with the girl's question, she smiled and said, "Of course I was thinking about it, why did you come back so suddenly?"
"Don't I miss you and grandpa?" Yunzheng took her hand and acted coquettishly.
Yun Miao lowered her eyes and glanced at Yunzheng's hand that grabbed her wrist, and tried to pull it back, but Yunzheng grabbed it.
"Auntie, why are you distracted?" Yunzheng asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Yun Miao shook her head and said, "No."
Yunzheng looked at the man in white next to her, and said with a teasing look on her face: "Auntie, I've heard all about it. Is this the person you like?"
Yun Miao never thought that she would ask such a straightforward question. She didn't answer for a while, but the man in white next to her replied in a sincere tone: "Miao'er and I truly love each other."
"Of course I know." Yunzheng smiled.
Shangguan Yi frowned, feeling a little strange after hearing this.
Before he had a chance to ask questions, Yunzheng had already pulled Yunmiao to sit down.
"Come, Auntie, let's eat first." Yunzheng enthusiastically served her dishes.
Within a few moments, Yunmiao's empty rice bowl was filled with dishes.
Yun Miao: "..."
"Auntie, these are all the dishes I prepared for you, you must finish them." Yunzheng said with a smile.
Yun Miao's head was covered with black lines. She looked at Shangguan Yi next to her for help. Shangguan Yi frowned and sent a message to Yun Miao: "Play your role and don't act rashly. This Yunzheng is a student of the Holy Academy..."
The implication is to be vigilant about everything.
Prince Yun was full of doubts when he saw what his precious granddaughter was doing, but before that, Zheng'er just asked him to sit quietly.
"Agui, bring three bottles of vinegar and three bottles of soy sauce." Yunzheng ordered.
The boy named "Agui" was stunned for a moment, a little confused, but he still hurried to the kitchen to get soy sauce and vinegar.
"What are you doing with soy sauce and vinegar?" Old Prince Yun couldn't help but ask.
Yunzheng raised her lips and smiled, staring at Yun Miao, "Of course it's for my aunt."
"Me?" Yun Miao pointed to herself, looking confused.
Shangguan Yi and Yun Miao felt uneasy in their hearts, and their hands tightened slightly, as if they were on pins and needles. At this moment, they were mentally prepared to quibble.
However, the next sentence left them all confused.
"Of course, to celebrate my aunt, you have found a partner to walk hand in hand with you."
celebrate?
What the hell is celebrating?!
Seeing Yun Miao's puzzled face, Yunzheng pretended to be sad and pouted, "Auntie, have you forgotten?"
"Forgot..." What? Before Yun Miao had time to say it, Shangguan Yi pinched the flesh on the back of her hand to remind her.
Yun Miao reacted quickly and smiled apologetically, "Ah, of course Auntie didn't forget."
"It's good that you haven't forgotten." Yunzheng lowered his eyes, covering up the cold and murderous look.
