Feng Jinyu listened patiently to what Nanny Liang said and comforted her, believing what she said and letting her rest well.
He also instructed the palace servants to take good care of her and not to neglect her.
After returning to the Imperial Study, he and Emperor Qianyuan assumed that the rumors were true and made relevant arrangements.
In order not to alert the enemy, the people sent out all changed their clothes and left the capital secretly.
After sending the letter out of the city, Song Linjiang further increased the defenses of the capital.
In particular, memorials coming to Beijing must be inspected before they can be released.
On this side, Xiao Lingyu didn't care about what was happening in the capital at all. He led the children and servants to hang the riddles and half of the couplets they had written all morning on the plum tree.
Su Ningwen looked through all the questions posed by Xiao Lingyu. Filling in the lyrics and guessing the riddles were easy for him, but making couplets was a bit difficult.
"Mother, you haven't taught us how to make couplets yet."
Xiao Lingyu smiled and raised his eyebrows. There were times when Wen Ge'er couldn't do that.
"These are not difficult. There is a thick collection of books in my mother's study. It is full of couplets. Come to the study during afternoon tea time and I will show you the collection of books."
These books were left by the Cui family, and now they are just right for teaching the children.
"Then after reading the collection of books, don't we all know the answer?"
"On the day of the plum blossom viewing banquet, you are only responsible for eating and drinking, and let the little brothers and sisters come up with lyrics, guess words, and make couplets. Oh, and by the way, you must ask your second uncle to come over to guess the riddles on that day."
"My second uncle should take first place."
"Winning first place will also earn you the good luck that mother has carefully prepared."
Su Xingyi, standing by, seemed to understand the true purpose of this plum blossom viewing banquet. "Xiao Yu, could this plum blossom viewing banquet be a matchmaking party for the young talents and unmarried ladies of Huayang County?"
"I guess so. I'm going to live in Huayang County for a long time. I need to get familiar with the people from various noble families, as well as the various officials."
"In that case, shall we also invite the magistrates of the twelve counties within Huayang Commandery and their families to the banquet?"
"Okay, invite everyone over."
Now that she enjoys the entire Huayang County fiefdom, she has to worry about the GDP of Huayang County. The higher the GDP, the better the lives of the people, and the more fiefdom she will get every year.
"In the future, I will need you to accompany me to visit various counties secretly to understand the real lives of the people, how many poor households there are, and how many rich farmers there are. I want to be a good princess who makes decisions for the people."
Thinking of this, Xiao Lingyu suddenly became motivated.
Su Xingyi put his arm around her waist and whispered, "Of course, I'll follow you wherever you go. I won't leave your side for a single step."
"Then we will go down and visit them after the spring, and we will also plant rare ingredients on a large scale."
"It may not be convenient for you next year, so I, your husband, will handle all these matters."
Xiao Lingyu was puzzled: "Why is it inconvenient? We have to do these things together."
"Come with me."
Su Xingyi pulled Xiao Lingyu to the largest plum tree in the distance, then leaned over and kissed Xiao Lingyu on the lips.
After a while, he let go of her and said, "You might have a baby next year. How are you going to do it with a big belly? Do you want me to do it?"
Xiao Lingyu blushed, "How could that be? There's still no movement, I don't know when there will be any."
"Then I will be more diligent and make sure you have it."
While the children were not paying attention, Su Xingyi used his lightness skills to take Xiao Lingyu to a quiet and elegant courtyard behind the mountain behind the Princess's Mansion.
As I pushed the door open, a wave of heat hit me in the face.
Xiao Lingyu took a look and saw that the room was clean and tidy, without a speck of dust.
"Why did you bring me here..."
A thought flashed through Xiao Lingyu's mind that he might come here to have secret meetings with Su Xingyi in the future.
Su Xingyi pulled her to the bed, held her and sat her on his legs.
"Xiao Yu, this place is very far from the main courtyard and Wutong Garden. I arranged for Mo Shu and the others to clean up this place the day before yesterday. The courtyard next door is a quarter of an hour away. You can shout loudly here without worrying about anyone hearing you."
Xiao Lingyu stood up from his lap in shame, "Well, you've actually become a bad person, even thinking about having sex in broad daylight."
Xiao Lingyu felt that Su Xingyi was becoming more and more dangerous, so he turned around and ran out the door.
Su Xingyi was one step faster than her and blocked the door first. Xiao Lingyu didn't stop and threw herself into his arms.
Su Xingyi hugged the person in his arms, curled his lips and smiled softly, "...You are throwing yourself into my arms."
Xiao Lingyu: ...
When did Su Xingyi become so smooth-talking?
"No, I didn't brake!"
"It's a rare opportunity for you and I to be alone together, how can we miss such a wonderful opportunity?" Su Xingyi lifted up Xiao Lingyu's plump and round buttocks with his big hands and hugged her.
Xiao Lingyu looked at his flushed face, and saw the strong desire in his eyes. He couldn't bear to refuse, "Then... then hurry up, and make it quick and easy."
Su Xingyi excitedly carried her to the bed, and showered her with kisses from head to toe...
Half an hour later, the children realized that the two were no longer in the plum blossom forest.
"Hey? Where did Mom and Dad go?" Xiao Xier ran to where the couple had been hiding. "I just saw Mom and Dad come here and talk in private. Why are they gone?"
The three brothers ran over together, but saw no one behind the tree.
Although the housekeeper Xiao Zhong didn't know where the two had gone, he was an experienced person. When the couple was in love and inseparable, he said to the children:
"The princess and Master Su should be back at the main courtyard. The list of guests for the banquet still needs to be reviewed with Master Qi. Those attending the plum blossom viewing banquet are all important figures from Huayang County. They have a lot of things to do, so they will be very busy these days and may not have time to take care of you."
Hearing this, Xiao Xier said to the three brothers, "Then let's not go looking for our parents unless we have something important to do. They are adults and won't get lost. Let's check the plum blossom forest carefully again. We can't make any mistakes on the day of the plum blossom viewing banquet."
