Chapter 430: I Can’t Deal with Bai Yu
This is the first time in more than 20 years that the Princess's Mansion has celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival so lively.
The servants were busy hanging festive red lanterns throughout the mansion, and the atmosphere in the mansion changed, and the smiles on the servants' faces were relieved.
Happy for the master.
There was a table full of delicious dishes in the flower hall. The dishes were exquisite, colorful, fragrant and delicious.
"Come, eat. You are all my little treasures—you are my friends. Just treat this place as your own home. There is no need to be restrained." As long as it did not involve the children, the eldest princess's words and deeds seemed very normal. She took the serving chopsticks and personally served the children food, her face full of smiles. "Yu'er has been away for many years. I have troubled you to take good care of her. Now that you are back, please don't be polite to me."
The old and young responded with a smile, they had no idea what politeness was.
The eldest princess had a deep misunderstanding of them.
But several of them did restrain themselves.
"Princess, there's no need to greet us specially. We will definitely not be strangers. Just take care of your son, okay." The Poison Boss ate with relish.
Why would you bother with an old widow who longs for her son?
He is much cuter than a tiger that eats its own cubs.
"Aunt, you haven't seen Bai Yu for many years. You must be very curious about what he's doing outside. Let us tell you about it so you can have some fun!" Su An took a bite of the food and took a sip of fruit wine. As soon as he and Su Wen and Su Wu started talking, they acted in unison like they were on stage, and the old woman was fascinated by what they were saying.
The royal table etiquette of not talking while eating or sleeping was completely forgotten.
Su Wen, "Bai Yu and I have always known each other. This guy used to be arrogant and domineering!"
Su Wu laughed when he thought about that time. "Hey! My sister beat me twice in a row, and I went back crying each time."
"Been beaten? And he cried because of being beaten? Ouch, that must have hurt a lot..." Upon hearing that her son was beaten, the old woman who had just been smiling suddenly felt extremely distressed. Her face wrinkled and wrinkles appeared.
The old man laughed happily, saying, "Boys will become strong and capable people in the future. How can they be spoiled? It's a good thing for them to get beaten up more often. The more they are beaten, the tougher they become. Look at your son now. Isn't he tall and strong?"
One sentence smoothed out the wrinkles on the old woman's face and made her smile again.
Little Wheat Ear also joined the storytelling camp, "Arrogant and domineering is one thing, but Bai Yu is also a cunning scoundrel! Uncle Changdong originally adopted my sister as his goddaughter, but he took advantage of the situation and managed to become his godson."
"So this one of the Hundred Warriors is Yu'er's godfather!"
The warrior almost spit out his food.
He is a man of great talent, a man of boundless beauty, and the legends told by others—
The old man was quick-witted and quickly stopped the warrior who was about to attack.
During the meal, the eldest princess was amused by the children and her laughter could be heard from far away.
Bai Yu ate silently with his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, looking like a pitiful little boy who endured humiliation and was comforted by Tianbao's two chopsticks of food.
Oh.
Satisfied!
…
In just a short while, the news that the princess recognized her son on the street spread throughout Du'an City.
Some daring and curious people sneaked to the vicinity of East Lane 1 to try to find out the latest news. As a result, they saw with their own eyes that the commander of the guards of the princess's mansion led people to the inn on the back street and moved all the luggage left there by the "prince" and his entourage into the princess's mansion.
An hour later, the Second Princess's carriage also stopped in front of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, accompanied by dozens of servants and maids, carrying more than a dozen bags of things to the mansion.
Du'an City was in an uproar, and even the court officials were alarmed.
Immediately, an elder led a crowd to the palace to ask for an audience with the empress. In the imperial study, they made an impassioned speech, listing all the disadvantages of the eldest princess's adoption of a godparent. However, the empress sent them away with a single sentence, "As long as my eldest sister is happy, it's no big deal."
The elder's face was filled with grief and despair, as he was dragged out of the doorway. "Your Majesty, this old minister has only your Majesty and Xiling in mind. The eldest princess's adoption of her as a godparent may seem harmless, but we must be wary of those with ulterior motives! The Xiling royal family has no heirs, and some are using Xiling as a valuable asset to exploit. Your Majesty! Please understand!"
Nanny Jin immediately took offense at the seventy-year-old elder. She quickly closed the door to the imperial study and signaled the young eunuch beside her to "help" the elder out. "Lord Zhong is a veteran of two dynasties and has watched the emperor grow up. You should know that the emperor has his own plans and has never acted on impulse. I dare say that you are worrying too much today. The eldest princess adopted a godson to comfort the pain of losing her son. Even if others give the eldest princess face and call the child "Young Master", he has no blood relationship with the orthodox lineage, so what can he do to Xiling? You have a great reputation throughout your life, but don't listen to others' instigation and rush to make trouble for the emperor. Isn't this just throwing your reputation on the ground for others to step on?"
The elder's face turned pale and he walked away in a huff.
The leader left, and the other ministers who accompanied him did not dare to say anything more. The farce was finally over.
After watching the ministers leave, Nanny Jin's stern expression finally softened. As she entered the imperial study, she couldn't help but smile. "Your Majesty, today is Mid-Autumn Festival. I imagine the Princess's residence will be bustling with activity. In previous years, you have always given gifts to the two princesses. This year, since we are celebrating, will you give them more?"
The Queen glanced at Nanny Jin and smiled, "Nanny Jin, you are very considerate and attentive. I will leave this matter to you. Please help me choose the gift."
Nanny Jin was overjoyed, "Yes! I will pick it myself! I will personally deliver it to the princess's mansion!"
Not knowing the truth last night, she did not take a close look at the little prince on the pleasure boat.
I will take the opportunity of giving gifts to take a good look at their little prince of Xiling!
It has been sixty years since the time of the late emperor, and we have finally welcomed the first little prince who grew up safely!
Nanny Jin hurried to the storeroom to pick out gifts, unaware that someone had already beaten her to it.
The Princess's Mansion.
Maids and servants came in one after another, carrying boxes and baskets that took up half of the hall in the mansion.
Upon hearing the news, the eldest princess rushed over from the flower hall with her son. After opening the lid, she looked at the dazzling array of gifts and was completely bewildered. "Fengtang, what are you doing? Although my eldest sister doesn't manage things, she's not so poor that she needs your help."
"Who helped you?" Feng Tang rolled his eyes and looked at the young man with a gloomy face behind the old woman. He pretended to be casual and said, "These things are what you gave to your son and my nephew."
Bai Yu raised his eyes expressionlessly, and the corners of his lips twitched.
Even though I knew he was fake, I still came to join in the fun.
There are strange things every year, and this year is even stranger.
"I have to accept the gift from my second aunt without hesitation, and it will be truly mine. It will be extremely difficult for me to give it up." Bai Yu spoke, waiting for the second princess to make a move.
Second Princess, "Here! Second Aunt has prepared silks, satins, antiques, and treasures for you. There's even half a box of banknotes hidden under this box. If you need anything else, just tell Second Aunt and I'll bring it to you!"
Bai Yu, "..."
What's going on?
There's no way to deal with him!
He tried to leave as soon as he got his hands free.
He is going to find Tianbao.
