"Master Tai, I've figured it out."
Marquis Yuan entered the room with a face full of Zhang Tao. "Besides the main courtyard, the Princess's Mansion has other courtyards where the young masters live: Jianjia Courtyard and Canglang Courtyard. Qingyunjun in the guest courtyard is the courtyard of Master Su Xingyi, but he's been away from the mansion for some time and his whereabouts are unknown."
Tai Zhuo said, "Call Mr. Yang in."
The next day, Xiao Xier had just finished breakfast when she received the news that Tai Zhuo was leaving the house.
"Are they all going to leave the house?"
Yunshuang: "We left behind a slightly older man who looked like a doctor."
Xiao Xier blinked, "Sister Yunshuang, how is your fighting skill?"
Yun Shuang instantly perked up. She was just worried about having nothing to do. "I promise I won't be embarrassed and won't be discovered. Do you want me to follow Tai Zhuo and the others?"
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Sister Yunshuang. When we get back, I'll treat you to a feast at Luyuan Qionglou. There's also a reward for you."
Yun Shuang was very excited. "A feast at the Luyuan Qionglou is enough. No need for tips. I'll ask the gatekeeper to let them in right away."
Yunshuang saw Tai Zhuo and his group walking away and followed them quietly.
What Yun Shuang didn't know was that there were two secret guards behind her sent by Su Xingyi.

"Ayuan, my eldest sister-in-law sent a message saying that Zihe has returned to Huayang County. Tomorrow is Wen'er's birthday banquet. Your third aunt and I will accompany Yao'er to the Meng Mansion for the banquet. It's a good opportunity for them to meet each other."
"Mother, I will also go to the banquet tomorrow,"
Lu Yuan was worried, so she wanted to go and see Meng Zihe. Meng Zihe did have a good reputation, but she didn't know him well after all, so she had to be careful when choosing a husband for her sister Yaoer.
"You are in a heavy condition, so you should stay at home and let Chu Yu accompany you."
Looking at Lu Yuan's big belly, Simeng always felt that she was about to give birth, and was really worried that she would get hurt when she went out.
"Mother, since the last time the princess came to check my pulse, I've been feeling particularly well these days. The princess will also go to the Meng Mansion tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity for her to check my pulse and see if I'm safe."
Since the princess had moved out, Simeng had no choice but to obey her.
"Miss, the eldest lady just sent Nanxiang to deliver a message. She will also go to the Meng Mansion for a banquet tomorrow. She will find a chance to accompany you to meet the second young master Meng."
"He's back from Beijing?" Lu Yao was inexplicably nervous.
Nuan Yu smiled and nodded, "She has returned to the Meng Mansion and will be back in the capital in seven days. Miss, try on a few clothes now. I will help you to judge what kind of makeup will be suitable for you."
Nuanyu has already thought of several beautiful makeup looks in her mind, and she is sure that Meng Zihe will not be able to take his eyes off her young lady.
When Lu Yao heard this, she knew what Nuan Yu was thinking. "Tomorrow is Wen Ge'er's birthday party, not a flower viewing party, so a simple makeup look will be enough."
"Then I'll put a simple makeup on the young lady tomorrow." Nuan Yu said this, but in her heart she was thinking about putting on the most beautiful makeup and matching the most beautiful dress!
Meng Zihe came back all the way from the capital, thinking of bringing the betrothal gifts to the Lu Mansion to propose marriage and bring Lu Yao home. He was as full of energy as a sunflower growing towards the sun!
Knowing that my mother and grandmother had not finalized the marriage, I felt a little uneasy. I wondered if my sister Yaoer would reject him.
Meng Zilu, an experienced person, put his arm around his neck and dragged him back into the room.
"Zihe, Miss Lu Er doesn't know you like her yet, and she doesn't know you very well either. When you meet tomorrow, just chat and get to know each other. If one meeting isn't enough, then you can meet more often."
"How many times?"
"Yes, you'll get to know each other after seeing each other more often. Aren't you returning to the capital in seven days? In the next few days, I'll take Wen Ge'er, Meng Yunqian and his sister, Xiao Xi'er, my cousins, and invite Miss Lu Er, my good friends, and their unmarried sisters for a spring outing. Seven days is enough time for Miss Lu Er to get to know you, and you can get to know her well too. Before you return to the capital, be bold and tell her that you like her and want to marry her. As for whether she likes you or not? That's her business."
"Cousin, please don't invite your good friend's sister. It's more appropriate to invite Miss Lu Er to go on a spring outing with your own cousins." Meng Zihe didn't want to see other girls who were waiting to be married.
"If we were all family, Miss Lu Er is very smart and would know she wants you to meet her more often, so she might not come out for the spring outing."
Meng Zilu felt that his silly brother should not put all his eggs in one basket.
"Then let's listen to what Big Brother says. Do you know what Sister Yao'er has been busy with these days?"
Meng Zilu smiled and said, "I heard from my mother and grandmother that Miss Lu practiced the qin with 'Ancient Sounds' and her qin skills have improved by leaps and bounds."
"What else?"

Su Ningjie sat in front of the mirror, biting a chopstick with his teeth bared. He felt that the arc of his grin was not big enough and his cheeks were not bulging enough. Then he bit both chopsticks together and tried several times before he got a satisfactory arc.
"Sister, if I keep this curved smile tomorrow, will my elder sister and the others not be able to tell that I've lost weight?"
Xiao Xier looked over and couldn't help but chuckle, "It's really hard for you. Your smile is just right, but it will get tiring if it lasts too long. Just smile normally. You look very energetic now. Unlike when you first came back, your complexion is pale and tender now. It's normal to lose weight after riding in a carriage for a long time. Your elder sister only cares about you and wants you to eat more so that she can fatten you up."
Su Ningjie rubbed his face and said, "You're right. I was struggling for a long time just now, and my cheeks are indeed a little sore. How do you know so much?"
"When I laugh my belly laugh too hard, my throat gets uncomfortable. Your mouth is so wide..." Xiao Xier said as she gestured at Su Ningjie's face, "and you have to keep it the same. Your cheeks will definitely get tired."
Su Ningjie raised his eyebrows, "Sister, you are so smart!"
"That's right!" Xiao Xier blinked and said proudly, "I am my parents' little princess, I can't be too stupid!"
Otherwise, how can I be the queen in the future!
Su Ningjie looked at Xiao Xier and knew that she was a real princess. He really didn't know how she ran from Nankun to Beiyi and was picked up by her father?
"Princess sister, do you know who threw you from Nankun to Beiyi back then?"
"Oh, it was the bad guys who dug me out from the Nankun Imperial Mausoleum and threw me to the Beiyi Wufeng Mountain where my father found me."
Xiao Xier said this calmly, but Su Ningjie was startled.
My sister suffered even worse than him!
"Who told you that? Do you believe it?"
"My sister had a dream that I wasn't dead, so she sent people to the imperial mausoleum to check. Sure enough, I wasn't in the coffin. She also dreamed of my appearance, so she sent Tai Zhuo and the others to look for me..."
"Can your sister be trusted?" Su Ningjie felt that there was something wrong with her sister.
"Everything my sister said was true. I even flew to Nankun to meet with my father, the emperor, and my mother to verify their story."
"You flew to Nankun, don't tell me it was Huanghuang who brought you back?"
"Hehehe...it was Huanghuang who carried me to Nankun!"
