Chapter 167 Touring the Lake
Much to Mu Xiyao's relief, Zong Zhenglin replied, "There is no such rule. If you can take more than one item, it will be an auspicious sign."
Just for such a sentence, Mu Xiyao's feather fan immediately trembled, her posture was so graceful and enchanting, even though Zong Zhenglin repeatedly warned her, Mu Xiyao could only wince.
Fight the quantity? Mu Xiyao was overjoyed. If her steamed stuffed bun has any specialties, it must be because she loves to pick things up. As for his odd toys that no one would look up to, every time he played with them, he had to watch Chunlan tidy them up before going back to the house obediently. This miser's temperament, Mu Xiyao did not deny, followed her. According to her, this is housekeeping!
Sure enough, when Chunlan hurriedly delivered the "bamboo basket" that the young master asked for, everyone in the hall was dumbfounded.
The chubby little dot in the center just pointed at each step, and the maid who was called "Lan Lan" by the doll in front of her pointed and picked where to pick. In just a short while, most of the things on the brocade banquet were collected by the two of them. Bamboo woven baskets, the momentum of sweeping up the air made people dumbfounded, and no one made a sound to interrupt the rampant behavior of the two strong masters and servants.
Concubine Shu, who was sitting high on the head, was already looking straight ahead. Cheng Qing's baby pimple, it doesn't look like a one-year-old milk doll catches the week, she obviously has an idea, and will use her own brain to think about things. As soon as she was so happy, she immediately praised her with a smile, and encouraged her grandson to take more with a happy face. These are all good omens, if you get more blessings, there is no reason for Concubine Shu to be unhappy.
The guests who came to congratulate him were amazed. Seeing that the eldest son of the Sixth Highness is so short and fat, he is so smart, isn't he? The wives of each mansion are thinking to themselves, could it be that Concubine Mu is good at raising children, so she can bring up such a lovely child, and when she has time, she must be cheeky and ask, if there is a trick, who wouldn't want their child to be smart and clever?
"Daddy, hold me." After tidying up all the things on the brocade banquet, Cheng Qing leaped towards Zong Zhenglin with his short legs like usual. When he got closer, he hugged his father's calf, looked up at a very similar little face, and looked at Zong Zhenglin to fawn on him.
Mu Xiyao was instantly discouraged when she saw her son's dog-legged appearance. Grandma, why did this little bun start to look cute at the last minute? Where did that ghostly aura just now go? Hurrying to cling to his father has its own advantages, so it's better to go out to show off and put more money on her face.
Zong Zhenglin picked up his son, rubbed Cheng Qing's hairy head, and let the little guy lay on his chest and grabbed his crown to play with.
Mu Xiyao really hated her for not fighting, and regretted so much that her intestines turned green. With such a scene of fatherly kindness and filial piety, your father and son are slowly sticking together when they return home. In front of outsiders, what we want is momentum! She was very handsome just now, how did she become an ordinary milk doll again in a blink of an eye? And why Mao returned to being clingy to his own father again, and didn't recognize her as a mother?
The two praisers had never experienced such a big scene. They had no better idea at the moment, so they could only sing out the pre-prepared speeches one by one. It took half an hour to listen to such a neat string. Everyone wanted to doze off.
Whose children have so many things, well, from today onwards, the eldest son of His Highness the Sixth Highness has become a blockbuster and is famous in Shengjing. After listening to his congratulatory speech, two bowls of tea can go down. After hearing this strange incident, Emperor Yuan Cheng regretted not leaving aside the political affairs at hand, and took the time to take a look.
Because of his outstanding performance, Cheng Qing's little bun has attracted the favor of Concubine Shu, and he is reluctant to let him go back to the backyard to play alone, without his parents watching Concubine Shu feel worried. This person comes and goes, if it is like last time when some bad guys sneak into the mansion, Cheng Qing will be in danger. After thinking about it for a while, he simply asked someone to lift his crib, Hulala brought a group of people, and carried Chengqing back to the palace for a short stay. The nanny took Chunlan and the two usual maids with her. Before leaving, Mu Xiyao repeatedly told him not to get used to him, but to insist on eating the staple food so that he could get used to eating by himself.
After finishing this matter, I suddenly remembered that His Highness in the main hall told me to go to the study. Mu Xiyao gritted her teeth and thought for a long time, but obediently took Zhao Nanny and Mo Lan to the front yard in a small sedan chair. That man kept his word, if he didn't care about it, Mu Xiyao was afraid that he would shamelessly snatch her away again.
Since the Grasping Week is a tight occasion, the women in the backyard do not have the status of side concubine or higher, so they are not allowed to come to watch the ceremony. At this time, the son and daughter's family gathered in the garden to listen to the opera, Su Linrou sat at the table of the Sixth Highness's daughter's family, reluctant to tell everyone about the situation just now.
Why is Mu Xiyao's luck so good, having a son and winning the big face, just now the wife and lady in the palace can't stop exclaiming, which makes Su Linrou very jealous.
Mrs. Zhang has long been judged by the imperial doctor that she has no hope of having any heirs in this life. Sitting here and hearing about the interesting incidents of the eldest son of His Highness the Sixth Prince's catching up with Zhou, she suddenly fell in love with the scene. Afraid of being seen by others, he hastily covered his eyes and didn't dare to listen carefully.
Wan Jingwen has no other perception except the heart-piercing pain. Mu Xiyao's son is his heart and soul, so it is so important to protect him. Even the grasping week is as grand as Li Shizi, the difference cannot be counted.
Only Helian Minmin had no other distracting thoughts other than a little disgust towards Cheng Qing. His Highness thought that she would not be able to bear a son, so he valued Mu Xiyao's concubine so much. She was at a loss in this matter, unable to speak, let alone explain. Now it doesn't matter what you say, the most important thing is to find out Niu Qi's detoxification method, let her take care of her body, and then wait a few times to get a baby in one fell swoop.
"Yuying, can we really enter Danruoyuan to meet the side concubine?" Several people who were friends with Fifth Yuying chattered excitedly.
"The side concubine is very kind, so you don't need to be nervous. We just went in and sat for a while, and took the copybook that the side concubine promised, and we can't stay too long." Mu Xiyao was proud of Chengqing, and was much more nervous about time. Although everything remains the same in correspondence with Fifth Yuying, she often complains between the lines, saying that the days in the boudoir are nostalgic.
"Miss Yuying." Hui Lan, who stayed in Danruoyuan, finally waited for the fifth Yuying to visit, and hurried forward to greet her, and told her the master's message.
"His Royal Highness asked the master to talk about something, and he was going to the front yard at the moment. The master said that if you come early, you can go into the house to have tea and read your son's book. If you are bored waiting, you can go in the yard as well. Let the servants follow you and be at your command anytime." Hui Lan and Wu Yuying were also very familiar with Mu Xiyao since she was a child, and they didn't speak at all.
"So." Fifth Yuying nodded. "Since the side concubine is not here, it is inconvenient for us to enter the house, so we simply wandered around the yard. I heard that on the newly built Mingyue Lake, His Highness specially built a white marble arch bridge with twelve eyes, which is very rare."
"Miss Yuying is interested, so I will accompany you for a walk." Hui Lan called the little maid and prepared some snacks and good tea. These young ladies from aristocratic families must have a rest in the pavilion after playing around for a while.
