"Since that's the case, I'll help you out because you're so filial."

After the Second Prince finished speaking, he yawned, and Li Youran and the Second Prince's wife immediately understood what he meant.

Then the Second Prince's Consort handed the jade pendant to Ah Jiu and said to Ah Jiu very gently.

“Ah Jiu, it’s getting late. Let’s get some rest. We’ll go out early tomorrow morning to find out who owns the jade pendant and find your enemy as soon as possible.”

After leaving the room, Li Youran declined the Second Prince and his wife's invitation, saying that they would discuss the matter again the next day.

In fact, Li Youran was also very anxious and wanted to find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible. However, considering that the Second Prince's wife was pregnant and had been busy all day, she really couldn't bear to let her continue to stay up late.

Moreover, Li Youran had roughly figured out the ins and outs of this matter in her mind, and it seemed that Ajiu was really a child with a tragic fate.

I thought Ah Jiu could finally rise above her circumstances and live a prosperous life, but it seems that even surviving peacefully in the capital is a very difficult thing for her.

The next morning, the Second Prince's wife comforted Ajiu again, telling him to calm down and rest well at home, and that she would find the owner of the jade pendant as soon as possible.

Once calmed down, Ajiu was no longer as agitated and sensitive as he had been the day before. He began to relax and even offered to help the Second Prince's wife move her things.

The ceremony was completed yesterday, and today the Second Prince's Consort and the Second Prince will move into the East Palace. Strictly speaking, they should now be addressed as the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.

Since many things had already been prepared before the coronation ceremony, today all that was needed was to move the things to the East Palace.

All the busy work is happening at the East Palace. Although there are eunuchs and palace maids, the Crown Princess still has to worry about everything.

Even if Li Youran wanted to share the Crown Princess's worries, given her status and position, it would be inappropriate for her to interfere in the affairs of the Eastern Palace.

After all, the Crown Prince's palace is located within the imperial palace, and is overseen by the Emperor and Empress. Even the Crown Prince and Crown Princess cannot make decisions on many matters.

"You Ran, how could you stand us up?"

Hearing the resentful voice, Li Youran looked up and saw Jiang Qianqian and Zhou Caidie looking very spirited.

When Li Youran saw the two of them, she remembered that she had made an appointment with them today to make red wine together.

Thinking of this, Li Youran suddenly slapped her forehead.

"Look at my memory! I was so busy moving today that I completely forgot about what we agreed on."

As Li Youran spoke, she walked forward and bowed apologetically to Jiang Qianqian and Zhou Caidie.

"My two great-aunts, don't be angry, let's set off right away."

Jiang Qianqian and Zhou Caidie were unaware that today was the day the Crown Prince and Crown Princess were moving. Upon seeing this, their anger subsided, and they stopped blaming Li Youran.

"where are you going?"

Just as Li Youran was about to leave with Jiang Qianqian on her left and Zhou Caidie on her right, a clear male voice rang out behind her.

"You Ran, I heard you've been married before. Is this your child? Isn't it a bit too big?"

Seeing that Jiang Qianqian was deliberately teasing her, Li Youran's lips twitched. She knew that Jiang Qianqian was blaming her for hiding too many things from them, so she hurriedly explained.

“I met this child yesterday while eating steamed buns. He was all alone in the capital. I felt that we got along well, so I brought him back.”

As Li Youran spoke, she winked at Ajiu.

"Hurry up and call them Sister Jiang and Sister Zhou. They are both kind-hearted bodhisattvas. Maybe they will agree to let me take you with me."

"Sister Jiang, Sister Zhou, can I go with you?"

Seeing Ajiu blinking her starry eyes as she reasoned with Jiang Qianqian and Zhou Caidie, I couldn't help but silently give her a thumbs up, thinking to myself that this child's acting skills were truly amazing, even better than mine.

"Of course you can, hurry up and come with your sister."

Jiang Qianqian and Zhou Caidie had never seen such an adorable child before. They were completely captivated by Ajiu. As if they had agreed beforehand, they both shook off Li Youran's hand, grabbed Ajiu, and happily walked out.

"Wait for me."

Li Youran called out as she hurriedly followed, feeling both disliked and superfluous.

Li Youran knew that Zhou Caidie and Jiang Qianqian had sent people to pick a lot of wild grapes in the mountains, but he did not expect that they would pick so many wild grapes that it was practically a small mountain.

"Why did you pick so many wild grapes?"

As Li Youran spoke, she glanced at Jiang Qianqian.

As Jiang Qianqian looked at the wild grapes piled up like a small mountain, she wiped away non-existent drool and said to Li Youran with greedy eyes.

"Ever since I tasted the red wine that was presented as tribute from the Western Regions, I have been haunted by it in my dreams and can hardly forget it."

Jiang Qianqian continued speaking as she went.

"It's a rare opportunity to make wine, so we should make a lot, otherwise we won't be able to enjoy it to the fullest."

Jiang Qianqian's reason was indeed hard to refuse.

Now that everything was ready, she began to put her skills to use and make red wine.

Making red wine is very simple, but no one knows it. Li Youran had a little scheme in mind. She ordered her people to wash the grapes, crush them all, and put them into jars. Then she dismissed all the men.

The most important step is adding white sugar, which Li Youran doesn't want others to know.
