Chapter 42: Xiang Minghou takes her to a banquet

"Don't sleep tonight. After dinner, Dad will take you to the banquet." Xiang Minghou held her and sat at the table.

"Attending a banquet?"

"Yes, the old prince of the Helian Palace sent someone to deliver an invitation early this morning. It was his 70th birthday. I haven't been to Beijing for several years, and I was caught red-handed as soon as I came back." Marquis Xiang Ming hated dealing with flattery in officialdom the most.

"Dad wants to take me with him?" Ye Qianning felt that it was somewhat inappropriate to take her with him.

"Of course, why should I hide my daughter? I want everyone to see how cute my daughter is." Xiang Minghou wanted to show off to everyone he met.

“…”

This must be the legendary baby-showing maniac...

"Come and have dinner, then we'll go pick out gifts." Xiang Minghou said.

Liu put all of Ye Qianning's favorite foods on the plate and piled them up in a small pile.

Ye Qianning nodded, raised his hand and pulled Xiang Minghou's beard: "Dad, that's Fourth Granny."

Xiang Minghou then noticed the others and looked at Fourth Granny.

"Greetings, General." The fourth wife was suddenly looked at like this and immediately knelt down.

Xiang Minghou hurriedly stood up, put Ye Qianning on the chair, and bent down to help the fourth wife: "Hurry up, get up."

"Thank you, General." The fourth wife was flattered.

"We are family, so there is no need to do this. You have worked hard taking care of Fatty over the years." Xiang Minghou was truly grateful. The old woman was so old, yet she walked so far with a child.

If it weren't for her, how could he have such a lovely daughter.

"It's not hard. As long as Pangtuan is doing well, nothing will be hard." Grandma Si really treats Pangtuan as her granddaughter.

"Come, Fourth Aunt, take a seat." Marquis Xiang Ming invited the old woman to take a seat. "You will live peacefully in the mansion from now on. If you need anything, just let me know."

Fourth Granny sat down and thought that Fatty Tuan was not really a bad guy, he just looked a little fierce. Then she realized that he was a general on the battlefield, and even a pretty face could not intimidate the enemy, so it was better for him to be a little fierce.

After the meal, Fourth Granny had a new understanding of Xiang Minghou, and her concerns from yesterday were completely dispelled.

Liu also had a new understanding of Xiang Minghou. It was said that the general killed people without emotion, but the general in front of her was so doting that his face was almost overflowing with love.

Ye Qianning also felt that the atmosphere was very harmonious. Yesterday, Huangpizi was talking about Liu, and she looked at her.

Liu noticed the gaze and smiled slightly.

What a poor person, Ye Qianning sighed in his heart, no wonder she was cautious in her words and actions, she was born in poverty and was bought to bring good luck, and the wedding ceremony was performed with a rooster as a substitute.

When Xiang Minghou was seriously injured, she took care of him without taking off her clothes. Later, when his injuries recovered, Xiang Minghou learned about the wedding.

In these years, Marquis Xiang Ming was away on military campaigns and never returned home, so Liu only had the title of Madam in the mansion and anyone could step on her.

Seeing that Liu was genuinely fond of Marquis Xiang Ming, she thought that she could introduce them to each other in the future.

After breakfast, Marquis Xiang Ming carried Ye Qianning out of the house. A group of people from the second branch came to congratulate them with gifts, but they didn't even see anyone, and the gifts were taken back.

When the fourth wife, a country girl, saw this, she just shook her head, saying how petty she was!

The streets of Kyoto were still bustling with activity. Xiang Minghou had originally intended to go to a jade shop to pick out some decent birthday gifts, but once he got to the street, he completely forgot he was there to pick out birthday gifts, and instead had a great time choosing from the street stalls.

"My girl, what do you think of this? It makes a sound when you blow it." After saying that, Xiang Minghou picked it up and blew it.

Ye Qianning shook his head: "Dad, these are just for kids to play with. I'm already six years old."
