"It's still early for noon, so they must have had lunch at the Princess's Mansion. Both children passed the exam today, so they have to come back for dinner no matter what."
Upon hearing this, Meng Chen immediately arranged for someone to go to the Princess's Mansion to deliver a message to Meng Zilu.
"Mom, Yunqian may not be able to come tonight. Liuyue may also be waiting for Yunqian to return to Taohua Lane."
"If you hadn't mentioned Liu Yue, I almost forgot. Did you find anything when I asked you to keep an eye on Zi Lu?"
Meng Chen knew what her mother-in-law was worried about. "I not only sent people to keep an eye on Zilu, but also on Taohuaxiang. Liuyue is busy brewing wine and has no intention of remarrying. Not to mention Zilu. These days, I've been sending my long-servant to pick up Yunqian..."
Meng Chen felt that even if her eldest son remarried, it would not be Liu Yue. Although Liu Yue was forced, Song Wan's death was ultimately related to her!
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Go and arrange for tonight's dinner and invite the Song family..."
"Okay, Mom. I'll arrange it right away."
Meng Wei took the hot tea from Nanny Wu and took a sip. "News from the capital should be here soon."
"Young Master Zihe might have already become the top scorer in the imperial examination!" Nanny Wu said only nice things.
"Nothing's confirmed yet, so I can't say anything rashly, but high school is a certainty!" Meng Wei was very confident in her grandson. "I'm more concerned about his marriage than that..."
Xiao Lingyu didn't expect Su Ningwen to get first place. The more he looked at Su Ningwen, the more he liked him.
"Okay, it would be great if our brother Wen was our biological son."
"He is our good son! I have always raised him as my own son, but Zilu always comes to my house to try to snatch my son away from me."
Xiao Lingyu looked at the father and his two sons playing in the back garden and said, "They will definitely become the pillars of the dynasty in the future!"
"Yes, Brother Wen also said that he would ask for an imperial decree for you in the future. He will definitely be able to do it."
"Brother Wen can indeed do it. He has the ability. I am now a consort of the highest rank, a first-rank consort. Apart from the princess, I am already the most powerful consort of the highest rank."
"Xiao Yu, can I also ask for an imperial decree for you?"
Su Xingyi felt that this status was not noble enough. She needed to be the queen of a country like her grandmother!
That’s not right. A woman who can reach the highest position can also become an emperor. After all, Nankun produced a female emperor.
Xiao Lingyu understood what Su Xingyi meant. He was originally the eldest son of Emperor Qianyuan. If he recognized his ancestral roots, it would be legitimate.
"I know you can, and I still like my current life."
If he goes back and becomes emperor, wouldn't he have to take in several concubines according to the rules?
She is not as sensible and considerate of the overall situation as the original owner, and she even takes the initiative to help him choose a concubine!
She can't do it!
At this time, Meng Zilu's attendant came over and whispered a few words in Meng Zilu's ear.
Meng Zilu stood up and looked at the couple on the swing chair. "I see. Go back and tell them that I will bring Brother Wen back to the dinner party tonight."
"Your Majesty, Princess, I'm going to take Brother Wen back to a dinner party tonight. My family wants to celebrate Brother Wen's top spot."
Su Xingyi naturally wouldn't stop him, "Okay, just remember to send Wen Ge'er back tomorrow morning."
"Our father-in-law and mother-in-law will also come to the Meng Mansion. They haven't seen Brother Wen for a long time and want to stay at the mansion for a few more days..."
"Then send Wen Ge'er here in three days, no more."
Meng Zilu felt very sad because he couldn't see his own son every day.
Oh, who can I turn to for justice?!
After having lunch at the Princess's Mansion, Meng Zilu ran away with one son in her arms and the other holding her hand.
I was afraid that it would be too late and I wouldn’t be able to leave the Princess’ Mansion.
"Uncle Zilu, slow down. No one is chasing you."
"Hahaha……"
Su Xingyi couldn't help but laugh at this. "Xiao Xi'er, do you want to go back to Jianjia Courtyard, or come back to the main courtyard with us to sleep?"
"Of course, I'm taking a nap with my parents!"
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight days had passed and the weather gradually warmed up.
These days, Meng Zilu took Meng Yunqian to the Princess's Mansion on time to study with Su Ningwen and prepare for the next exam.
Seeing that there was no news from the capital for a long time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Meng family became anxious, so Meng Gaoyu sent another letter to the capital.
Little did they know that the letter from Beijing was already on the way.
"Master Qi, I called you here today to discuss the cultivation of rare ingredients. Master Miao Xiantong sent a letter yesterday, saying he has arranged for people to enclose a piece of land in Guihua Village to cultivate rare ingredients. The other eleven counties must also be included. The day after tomorrow, Master Miao will come to Huayang County to accompany the prince to each county to cultivate rare ingredients. Master Qi, please notify each county of this matter as soon as possible."
"Okay, princess. Does the prince want to come with you?"
"Yes, Master Qi, the princess has been telling me about rare ingredients these past few days. She knows how important they are. She said I've grown rare ingredients before, so I must get involved myself. This will help me recover my memory."
If the prince wants to go, then he must go too. Otherwise, if an accident happens to a prince who has lost his memory, he cannot afford it.
"Okay, I'll go back and issue a written notice to all the counties!"
Su Xingyi watched Qi Lianli leave, then turned back to look at Xiao Lingyu's belly, with a look of worry in his eyes.
Xiao Lingyu saw it all, and her heart felt as sweet as honey. It was enough for her to have someone close to her and care about her.
"You disappeared innocently last time, but the child is fine. I am the child's mother and will protect him well. I have also sent someone to Xishui County to send a message to Xu Yulan. She will come to accompany me in three days. You can go ahead and do this with peace of mind."
"I don't think it's enough. Miss Lu Er hasn't come to your house to play the piano for you for a long time."
"I can play the piano by myself."
"I know. I just want someone else to talk to you."
Xiao Lingyu said, "Sister Yao'er has to play the zither for Ayuan every day to nourish her pregnancy. She's having twins. She's due in July, and she'll give birth in less than four months. Her belly should be very big by now. I want to go and take a look."
When Lu Yuan received the news that Xiao Lingyu would come to see her in the afternoon, she quickly asked someone to prepare hot water for her to wash up in the bathtub.
Her belly now looks bigger than that of a ten-month-old baby, and it is very difficult for her to get into the bathtub. In the past, she would ask someone to wipe her with hot water, but it always felt unclean.
The princess is coming, and I must be clean and refreshed when I meet her.
After Lu Yuan finished bathing, Simeng was extremely nervous, fearing that Lu Yuan would slip and fall accidentally, especially when Lu Yuan stepped on the wooden ladder into the bathtub.
It wasn't until Lu Yuan was helped out of the bathroom, feeling refreshed, that he finally let go of his worries.
"Ayuan." Simeng helped Lu Yuan to the bedside, "Lie down quickly, don't get too tired."
Seeing that Simeng was sweating from anxiety, Lu Yuan lay back on the bed obediently.
When Simeng saw Lu Yuan rest, she also went to tidy up.
