After the matter was discussed, everyone moved to the South Garden lobby, chatted for a while, and then moved to the main lobby.
As it was getting close to dinner time, people from the second and third rooms arrived.
Old Mrs. Hong also arrived with her son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren and granddaughters.
Although the birthday banquet was not large in scale, it was not small either. Everyone was having a great time at the banquet, and Yan Funing received quite a few gifts.
In the afternoon, Hong Qingyi pulled her little daughter into the room.
"We can finally have a birthday party for you, Fu Ning. This is the first time your parents have held one for you."
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and she seemed like two different people from the Duke's wife who had just greeted the guests.
"mother."
Yan Funing threw herself into her mother's arms.
"I am already very satisfied to be able to return to my mother's side and have her embrace!"
Thank God for letting her find her biological parents!
"You're a good child!" Hong Qingyi gently stroked her little daughter's frail back. "Your mother-in-law is still blind. The relationships in Prince Jin's Mansion are complicated. You need to be more careful in the future and help your mother-in-law keep an eye on things."
"Yeah, I know."
"Also, being a daughter-in-law of a royal family is the most difficult thing. You have to be careful about your position. Especially since Ci Yi has not yet acknowledged the Prince of Jin, it will be very difficult for you to be caught in the middle of this situation. You must think carefully about everything before and after. If you are undecided, come home and talk to your parents."
"Okay, Mom."
"There are many intrigues in the Prince Jin's Mansion. I want to advise you and Ci Yi not to be so anxious to have a child."
"We are indeed not in that hurry." Yan Funing blushed.
"I'm worried that someone might harm you. If you're pregnant, those bad guys will be even more active. Look at your mother-in-law. She gave birth to a prince, and she was the principal wife. But when she was pregnant with twins, didn't a fire happen?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Funing nodded repeatedly, "I understand. The fire was indeed man-made. It happened back then, and things like this are still possible to happen now."
"That's right. I want you to be extra careful."
Yan Funing nodded: "Mom, I understand."
That night, the banquet was even more lively.
Qiao Wanyou was happy today and drank a lot of wine with Hong Qingyi and Yan Yu.
It was not until late at night that everyone said goodbye to the Yan family.
Yan Funing hugged her mother and said, "Mom, I wanted to stay overnight, but now we have moved to Prince Jin's Mansion, so I have no choice but to go back."
Hong Qingyi touched her daughter's face and said, "There will be plenty of opportunities to stay overnight in the future. Remember what I said today."
"Well, I don't need to worry about it." Yan Funing nodded, and then followed Fu Ciyi back to the palace.
When they returned to Mingzhu Garden in Prince Jin's Mansion, Nanny Li, who was guarding the garden, immediately came forward.
"Princess, after you left the palace, the prince left with Concubine Ling in his arms..."
Before Nanny Li could finish her words, Qiao Wanyou cleared her throat and ordered, "Ci Yi, Fu Ning, Nan Yao, and Bei Mo, all of you return to your rooms."
Several people agreed obediently and left the main courtyard.
After they all left, Qiao Wanyou ordered Li Ma to continue reporting.
"The prince went to Concubine Ling's courtyard. I heard that they were busy in the room for more than half an hour. The other concubines and aunts were extremely envious. Just this afternoon they even congratulated Concubine Ling."
Qiao Wanyou sneered when she heard this: "Let them be."
All men are bad.
She was able to leave Long Yi back then, and now after finding out the truth, she can also leave him.
It's just a matter of time.
It's just that such a mess is really upsetting to hear about it.
Nanny Li added, "It seems she's been tormented enough that Concubine Ling is said to have caught a cold."
Qiao Wanyou sighed deeply and said to Nanny Li, "Sometimes I really envy the lives of ordinary people. Husband and wife are of one mind, so why would they have so many complicated thoughts?"
Just then, footsteps were heard at the door.
"I have something to discuss with you." Long Yi's cold voice also came in.
"Yes, Your Highness, please speak." Qiao Wanyou said.
Long Yi stepped forward, grabbed Qiao Wanyou's wrist, and walked out directly.
"Where are you going? Can't you tell me Mingzhuyuan?" she asked.
"I can't tell you. Everyone here is yours." Long Yi strode out. Seeing Nanny Li following him, he said in a deep voice, "Get lost."
Qiao Wanyou asked, "After we finish talking, will Your Majesty send me back to Mingzhu Garden?"
"Send it back." Long Yi said impatiently, "So your people are not allowed to follow."
"Madam Li, just stay in Mingzhu Garden with peace of mind." Qiao Wanyou tilted her head and ordered.
Only then did Nanny Li stop and say yes.
When Qiao Wanyou left Mingzhu Garden, although there was light, the threshold was completely invisible at night, and she stumbled.
"Are you okay?" Long Yi quickly supported her.
"fine."
As she spoke, her hand was still tightly grasping his.
The man's palm was large, dry and warm. Qiao Wanyou was so frightened that she wanted to pull back, but he held her tightly.
After all, considering that she couldn't see, Long Yi supported her and walked slowly from now on.
After entering his bedroom, Qiao Wanyou smelled the scent of ambergris. This smell seemed somewhat familiar. Her heart skipped a beat for some reason and she fumbled around and asked, "Where is this?"
"My king's bedroom."
Long Yi held her hand and walked slowly towards his bedroom.
As they walked along, many servants wanted to greet him and call for help, but he stopped them one by one.
"Can you tell me what your Highness wants to say?"
Qiao Wanyou noticed that there were people around, and she was not afraid, but she didn't understand why he brought her to his bedroom.
After entering the bedroom, Long Yi bolted the door.
Hearing the sound, Qiao Wanyou was startled: "What do you want to do?"
But before she could finish her words, the man's lips touched hers.
It has been many years since they kissed, and she no longer knows what it feels like to kiss. Last time, he kissed her so forcefully that she resisted fiercely.
Long Yi didn't expect that she would resist like this, punching and kicking, which was completely different from her previous self.
He became furious and pushed the man behind the door.
"You are my woman, why can't I kiss you?"
Qiao Wanyou was startled: "I'm not used to it."
"Not used to it?" Long Yi kissed her again, and after a kiss, he asked, "Are you getting used to it?"
Qiao Wanyou remembered what Nanny Li had reported, and felt sick, so she pushed him hard.
"How many women have you kissed with this mouth? Why are you kissing me?"
"I have said that you are my princess."
Long Yi said in a deep voice, picked up the person and strode towards the bed.
He didn't want to drop her after all, so he ignored her struggles and gently placed her on the bed.
"Let me go."
Qiao Wanyou wanted to get up, but he held her down instead.
"Wanyou." He whispered in her ear, "I've missed you for more than ten years. If you still remember me, you must miss me too, right?"
"There are no ifs, Long Yi. The fact is that I have forgotten you."
Long Yi got angry again and kissed her fiercely.
"Ugh... Bah!" Qiao Wanyou slapped his face, her voice intermittent, "You're disgusting! Quick, let me go! You kissed Ling, and you're still doing that to her today..."
Hearing this, Long Yi was not angry, but rather somewhat delighted: "What's the difference between me and her?"
