Chapter 5, Getting to Know the Prince Consort

But just as she thought of fortune-telling, she felt sleepy.

Liu Wan heard her daughter's voice and went to see her. The baby in the cradle had fallen asleep.

She stretched out her hand to feel the little guy's breath and breathed a sigh of relief. She

was clear-headed and knew that no matter how sad she was, it would not help. She had to stand up and not let them control her at will.

She asked Panchun to help her up, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, "Send it back to my brother."

The next morning, she sent someone to invite the old lady and Xie Jinan to come over to discuss the full-month banquet.

"Why is the full-month banquet scheduled on the sixth day? Wasn't Zhaodi born on the ninth day?" Xie Jinan's tone was a little heavy.

Huaishan was born on the sixth day of the first lunar month, so we can't let Huaishan be part of the celebration at the Marquis' Mansion.

Do we have to tell everyone about this shameful thing?

The old lady was more patient and asked, "Why do you want to hold the full-month banquet in advance?"

Liu Wan replied calmly, "Old lady, husband, you probably don't know that my brother has been promoted to governor and was just betrothed to the fifth princess a few days ago. The fifth princess came out of the palace on the sixth day of the first lunar month to meet my brother. If the full-month banquet is scheduled on the sixth day of the first lunar month, my brother will definitely come with the fifth princess."

It is the best opportunity for the Marquis' Mansion to get close to the royal family.

The old lady's eyes lit up immediately, "Really? Will the fifth princess really come?"

The fifth princess is the legitimate daughter of the queen, and is doted on by His Majesty and the princes in the royal family. It is said that the largest coral in the world was given to the fifth princess by His Majesty and placed in her palace as a wishing tree.

Such a person actually fell in love with Liu Wan's brother.

She glanced at her grandson again, and Jin'an was obviously not bad looking.

However, this is indeed a good opportunity to climb up to the royal family, and people from the royal family can't come at any time.

"Of course it's true, my brother has agreed."

Liu Wan nodded, her eyes lingering on the old lady and Xie Jin'an's faces.

Xie Jin'an's face was not very good.

But he also knew that it was a great honor for the marquis's mansion for people from the royal family to come.

Liu Wan pressed the point and said, "By the way, why didn't the old lady tell me in advance whether she wanted to change her name to Wanwan? I had already sent a letter to my brother before your longevity lock was delivered. Everyone in the Liu family knows that my daughter's name is Wanwan."

The old lady was stunned for a moment and her lips moved.

Liu Wan said again, "I guess brother has also told the fifth princess."

The old lady looked unhappy, but did not express it too much. "Since everyone knows it, it's hard to change it. Just call her Wanwan. When the hundred-day banquet comes, I'll give her a few nicknames for her to choose from."ＷＷw.lＩnＧㄚùＴχτ.nét [

Mother, mother, don't. This old man must want me to call her Zhaodi, Pandi, Laidi... Mother, you have to do your best and keep Wanwan's name. 呜呜呜...]

At this time, the baby in the cradle was babbling, and his little hands were clenched into fists as if to hit someone.

Liu Wan gave her little finger to play with, and said to the old lady, "Okay, I will ask my brother and sister-in-law to ask the prince's teacher, Chen Taifu, to write a few good words for Wan Wan."

[Great, great, mother is great, uncle is so awesome... I don't want to call Zhao Di, hum...]

Little Wan Wan's eyes sparkled, and she spread out her little fingers, waving them as if she wanted to applaud.

The old lady glanced at her, and a trace of disgust flashed across her face, "It's just a girl, why bother to ask Chen Taifu to write the words, maybe this favor will be useful in the future."

Liu Wan smiled, "This is a favor from my brother."

Not from the Marquis' Mansion.

The old lady choked, and she couldn't breathe, feeling very uncomfortable.

Xie Jinan thought this was a good idea, so he said, "It would be best if Master Chen could come and write some good words for the young masters in the mansion. Then, the mansion would benefit from the influence of the prince's teacher."

The old lady's eyes twitched, and she looked at Xie Jinan with dissatisfaction.

Xie Jinan turned around, "Isn't it a good idea?"

The old lady could only say that his idea was good.

Now she had to agree even if she didn't agree.

But she was still very depressed. How could she give birth to a boy without Zhaodi Liu Wan? It seemed that Liu Wan didn't plan to give birth.

What if she didn't give birth to a boy?

After returning to the charity hall, Xie Jinan was tangled up. He told his grandmother not to let Huaishan down.

But the old lady said, "Who is the Fifth Princess? How can you arrange it? It's the best that she can come. It doesn't matter if she is engaged to Wan'er's brother. For your future, you just listen to your grandmother's arrangement."

Xie Jin'an nodded disappointedly and left.

Looking at the handsome back of Sun'er, a glimmer flashed under the old lady's drooping eyelids, and she seemed to have an idea.

She secretly thought that Huaishan's grievance was only temporary, and he deserved a mother of higher status.

On the sixth day of the first

lunar month. Liu Wan went out after her confinement. Although she left three days earlier, she felt it was no problem.

Little Wanwan had already put on a small jacket. She was small, with a round and rosy face, and smiled happily. You could tell at a glance that she was well-fed.

Everyone who saw her wanted to give her a kiss, and Liu Wan had already kissed her so many times.

[I am one month old, hehe, it happened so fast, I hope I can grow up quickly and protect my mother quickly. ]

Seeing the little guy holding her hands, Liu Wan smiled tenderly.

Panchun was holding little Wanwan, and the lady told her to hold the child well, and then went out to greet the guests .

Panchun couldn't help but secretly kiss her, and said to the other maids, "The young lady is so cute, and her skin is so soft and smooth."

The other maids were almost dying of greed, staring at little Wanwan with eager eyes.

Little Wanwan twisted her neck and shuddered.

The two little boys, Xie Zimu and Xie Zixing, also wore their favorite new clothes and stood by their sister.

Xie Zimu stared at the baby, not knowing what he was thinking.

Many people came to the front yard, many of whom were high-ranking officials and nobles who were on good terms with Minister Liu. They had a good network of contacts, and the old lady looked gloomy.

It was not until the royal carriage arrived at the door that the old lady smiled and went to greet the fifth princess.

Unexpectedly, the first person to get off the carriage was Liu Wan's brother Liu Ye. The young governor was elegant and tall, and many women couldn't take their eyes off him.

He is worthy of being the future consort.

Liu Ye respectfully took the Fifth Princess' arm and got off the carriage. His movements were measured. He first greeted Old Lady Xie and then said hello to Liu Wan.

The Fifth Princess felt friendly when she saw Liu Wan. As a future sister-in-law, she gave Liu Wan a set of high-quality jade headwear, and also gave Xiao Wanwan a set of pure gold small bracelets and a pure gold longevity lock.

"These are just gifts for meeting. Sister, don't be polite to me." The Fifth Princess took Liu Wan's hand and was very intimate.

Such a dignified and beautiful Liu Wan was about to become her sister.

Xie Zimu and Xie Zixing were called by Liu Wan to meet and greet each other. The Fifth Princess gave each of them two kilograms of gold.

She also praised, "Sister, you have raised these two children very well. They will have a great future."

That's right, they know when to act, are filial and polite, and everyone will like them.

The old lady's face was not good. She wanted to interrupt several times, but because of her humble background, she could not talk to them.

Seeing the Fifth Princess' generosity, she felt a little depressed.

It would be great if these were given to Huaishan.
