Chapter 76: Banquet at Huainan Palace
"You called me a flatterer, but I think you're a narcissist!"
Yu Youning said this and glanced at Wei Zhao with pride.
Wei Zhao, "..."
He was actually tricked by a five-year-old girl!
Wei Zhao's originally fair face slowly turned red.
Angry.
Yu Youning didn't care about him and sat down to eat happily.
The food in the Queen's Palace is naturally delicious.
Some of them were ones that Yu Youning had eaten before, and some were ones that Yu Youning had not eaten before.
No one here would care about Yu Youning, so she ate to her heart's content.
Wei Zhao was stunned when he saw Yu Youning eating so much by himself.
"You! Why are you eating so much?"
"What's the matter? The food isn't yours! The Queen is willing to let me eat it!"
Yu Youning looked at Wei Zhao angrily.
Anyone who stops her from eating is a bad person!
Wei Zhao's momentum weakened a little. "I didn't say that what you're eating is mine...Won't you get sick from eating so much?"
"Of course not!" Yu Youning's face was full of pride and pride, "I am gifted!"
Is being able to eat something to be proud of?
Wei Zhao didn't understand, but he chose to keep quiet.
He could see that although this little girl was young and looked soft and gentle, as if she was easy to bully, she would not suffer any loss.
As they talked, the Queen just watched with a smile.
Seeing that they were silent, the Queen said, "Starting tomorrow, you will all study together at the Imperial College. Youning, you and the Crown Prince will go before Wei Zhao. Remember to take good care of Wei Zhao."
Yu Youning nodded obediently, "I will!"
Although Wei Zhao called her a flatterer and complained that she ate too much, she would not argue with Wei Zhao.
After eating and drinking her fill, Yu Youning returned home with the snacks that the queen had prepared for her.
But when he returned to the First-Class General's Mansion, he only saw Marshal Wen, but not Yu Tingwan and Wen Shiyan.
"grandfather!"
Yu Youning ran to Marshal Wen.
"Where are Daddy and Mommy?"
Marshal Wen was lying in the shade, resting with his eyes closed. When he heard Yu Youning's words, he slowly opened his eyes.
"The housekeeper said that your parents went out early in the morning and haven't come back yet. You also went to the palace to eat, so I was the only one who had lunch alone. Alas, I am the lonely old man!"
Seeing the dejected look on Marshal Wen's face, Yu Youning hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Grandfather. I will definitely eat with you every day from now on. You will never be alone again!"
"Really?" Marshal Wen was a little skeptical. "What if the prince invites you to the palace for dinner again?"
Youning will definitely choose him as her grandfather, right?
Yu Youning tilted her head and thought for a while, a hint of distress showing on her delicate little face.
After a few breaths, Yu Youning seemed to have made up his mind and finally spoke.
"If the prince invites me to the palace for dinner next time, I will take my grandfather with me!"
"Grandfather, the food in the Queen's palace is delicious!"
“There are also many snacks that look good and taste good!”
"The Queen is such a kind person, she even had people bring me a lot!"
Listening to Yu Youning's words one after another, Marshal Wen's heart finally settled down.
But he soon adjusted himself.
Although he was not firmly chosen by his granddaughter, he was firmly led by her. What else could he be dissatisfied with?
Until dark that day, Yu Tingwan and Wen Shiyan did not return. They just sent someone back to deliver a message saying that they had something to do and could not come back in the next few days, and asked Marshal Wen to take care of Yu Youning.
Yu Youning didn't cry or make a fuss.
Since she was one year old, she has often been away from her parents and has long been used to it.
Marshal Wen specially asked Yu Youning to move into his yard and cleaned up a room for her to live in.
In the middle of the night, Marshal Wen was worried and got up to check.
Yu Youning slept soundly, breathing deeply, and Wen Xiaotian slept next to her belly.
Feeling Marshal Wen approaching, Wen Xiaotian opened his eyelids, took a look, and then slowly closed his eyes again.
Marshal Wen couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.
"What a good cat!"
...
The next day, Wei Zhao came to the Imperial College as expected.
Zhu Xuezhen arranged Wei Zhao in the first row.
Wei Zhao was unwilling and insisted on sitting at the back.
Chu Huaixu smiled and said, "Xuezheng, let Wei Zhao sit with me!"
Seeing that Chu Huaixu said so, Zhu Xuezheng had no choice but to let Chu Huaixu's deskmate sit in the first row.
After arranging the seats, Zhu Xuezhen began today's lecture.
It’s just that there is one more person in the classroom, a hostage from the Nanzhao Kingdom, which still attracted the attention of others, so I was not very focused in class today.
It was not until Zhu Xuezhen punished them by writing ten large characters that everyone finally settled down and listened attentively.
In the next few days, everyone found that Wei Zhao was not an active person. He just sat there alone every day and didn't even talk much to Chu Huaixu, so they gradually lost interest in him.
After attending classes for several days in a row, I finally had a day off.
This day was the day when Yu Youning was scheduled to attend a banquet at the Huainan Palace.
Originally, the Huainan Palace also invited Yu Tingwan and Wen Shiyan, but the two had not returned yet, so in the end only Yu Youning and Marshal Wen went together.
The grandfather and grandson rode on horses and attracted a lot of people's attention as soon as they arrived at the gate of Huainan Palace.
Everyone else came in carriages, but the two of them, grandparents and grandchildren, were riding on horseback, so it was hard for them not to be noticed.
When Zhu Xuezhen heard the servant say that Yu Youning had arrived, he hurried out to greet her.
"Marshal Wen! Youning! You're finally here!"
Zhu Xuezhen is dressed differently today than usual.
On weekdays, Zhu Xuezhen likes to wear blue, cyan or green clothes, and he looks handsome and elegant.
But today, Zhu Xuezhen was wearing a dark red outfit, which made his face look unusually rosy, and he exuded joy from the inside out.
Yu Youning and Marshal Wen held hands and followed Zhu Xuezhen into the Huainan Palace.
Although the prince's palace is not as good as the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, it is also very wealthy, and the specifications and quality of the items used are much higher than those of the marquis' palace.
Walking along the corridor, you will soon reach the flower hall.
There were already quite a few people here, sitting in groups of three or four and talking.
Chu Qingran, who was surrounded by people, stood up quickly and walked over to greet Yu Youning when she saw him.
"Youning! You're finally here!"
Yu Youning smiled sweetly at Chu Qingran, "Auntie, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look more beautiful now!"
No woman doesn't like to be praised for her beauty, and Chu Qingran is no exception.
"Youning has such a sweet mouth!"
After greeting Yu Youning, Chu Qingran looked at Marshal Wen and said, "How are you, Marshal?"
Although he already knew about the relationship between Yu Youning and Marshal Wen, Chu Qingran was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.
It is really surprising that such a mighty and domineering man as Marshal Wen has a granddaughter as delicate and lovely as Yu Youning, who is like a Fuwa.
There were many people present who had the same idea as Chu Qingran.
They all thought that neither of Marshal Wen's two sons were married.
I never thought that Marshal Wen’s granddaughter has grown up so much!
Moreover, this granddaughter was the granddaughter that Yong'an Marquis Mansion had found some time ago!
Think about the rumors that came out of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion before. They all said that Yu Youning and her daughter were from the countryside, vulgar and not presentable, and were not as good as Lin Siqiong and Lin Ruoli, mother and daughter who grew up in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
But now it seems that this is not the case at all!
At this moment, people from Yong'an Marquis Mansion also arrived!
Today, the Huainan Palace held a banquet and invited the nobles in the capital, so it was naturally impossible for the Yong'an Marquis Mansion to be left out.
All the people from the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion came, including the entire family, without missing a single one.
Everyone else looked no different from before, except Lin Yu, who had lost a lot of weight. The flesh on his cheeks was gone, and he looked weak and listless, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.
Someone with a curious mind immediately started asking, "Marquis Yong'an, what happened to your son? Is he seriously ill? Why haven't we heard anything about him? If you knew, you'd better go to his house and visit him!"
Marquis Yong'an spent a lot of effort and money to finally shut up those doctors and imperial physicians. He wished no one would mention this matter.
When he heard this question, his expression almost froze.
After taking a deep breath, Yong'an Hou pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's not a serious illness, just a stomach upset. He's just a child, there's no need to mobilize a large force."
Lin Yu's illness is not only shameful but also very disgusting.
If these people really knew about this, it would definitely affect Lin Yu's marriage.
Seeing that Lin Yu is already seventeen years old and has reached the age for marriage, he cannot be delayed by this matter.
It was precisely because of Lin Yu's age that I specially brought Lin Yu to the banquet today.
Those who were invited to the Huainan Palace were all well-known figures in the capital, and there were quite a few young women among them.
Lin Yu came over so they could have a look.
If there is a suitable one, you can book it earlier.
Marquis Yong'an was only thinking about Lin Yu's marriage and didn't notice the expressions and looks of the people around him at all.
Everyone present was a smart person. Just by listening to what Yong'an Hou had just said, they knew it was an excuse and there must be some secret behind it.
Although no one asked any more questions, everyone had made up their minds to have someone conduct a thorough investigation after returning.
When most people had arrived, King Huainan naturally came out as well.
“I invite everyone here today to celebrate the recovery of my daughter and to share in the joy.
Secondly, I want to thank the miracle doctor who saved Qingran. This prince has only one daughter, Qingran. For so many years, I have visited many famous doctors, but to no avail. I worry every day, afraid that I will die before my time.
Now, Qingran has been saved by a miracle doctor, her body has recovered, and she will even be able to have a child soon. It is truly a happy ending after all the hardships.
The King of Huainan walked as he spoke, and when he finished speaking, he had already reached Yu Youning's side.
