Chapter 1796 Relatives
Mingda and Changyu couldn't help laughing.
The emperor scolded them, "Hurry up and eat and go back to the palace. You have played all day today, you should make up for your lessons."
Mingda finished the rice in his bowl and said, "Father, we have no homework."
After eating, they immediately took their leave, and Changyu also ran away with Mingda.
Seeing some rice still in her bowl, the Queen couldn't help but shake her head, somewhat dissatisfied with the Emperor. "What are you talking about during dinner? You've scared the child away, haven't you?"
Changyu and Mingda's palaces were adjacent to each other, and the two went back hand in hand.
The queen always treated the two of them equally. She was the one who decorated the palace for them at the beginning. Later, Mingda wanted to buy things for herself, so the queen simply let Changyu decorate her own palace. She not only opened the palace warehouse for them to choose things, but also opened her own private warehouse.
Princess Changyu's mother died early, so she had the opportunity to be raised by the queen. She didn't know it at first. After she knew it, although the queen treated her the same as before, she still listened to her wet nurse and was more respectful to the queen. She also knew to avoid Mingda.
Especially in front of my father.
She knew in her heart that her father still loved her third brother, Mingda and the crown prince the most.
Especially for Mingda, it is very different.
Mingda had been in poor health since childhood, but she was smart and naughty. After waking up, she would run to the court to find her father, sit on the steps and refuse to leave, and her father and court officials would not be angry with Mingda.
But if it were someone else, not to mention her, even her father's most beloved third brother would probably be coaxed away or carried away.
Arriving at the palace gate, Changyu shook Mingda's hand and sighed, "I wonder what kind of a consort the emperor will find for you in the future."
Mingda doesn't know either.
At this time, Manbao was leaning on the desk and sighing with his two junior brothers, "It seems that the princesses have a hard time too. I wonder what kind of a consort His Majesty will find for Mingda in the future."
Between Mingda and Changyu, she still likes Mingda more in her heart.
Bai Shan thought for a moment and said, "His Majesty loves Princess Mingda and will probably let her choose for herself."
Bai Erlang said, "Don't be from an aristocratic family. I've seen few good ones among them."
Bai Shan said: "Don't forget, you are also from a noble family."
Bai Erlang was stunned. "Oh, then I happen to be one of the good ones. If you hadn't told me I was from an aristocratic family, I would have almost forgotten that our Bai family is also an aristocratic family. Oh, by the way, when I just went to see my eldest brother and his wife, I saw that my great-aunt had received a lot of gifts. It seemed that they were sent by our family."
Bai Shan couldn't help but look at Manbao, and suddenly didn't want to read anymore.
He stood up and said, "I'll go back and take a look."
Bai Shan left, and Man Bao looked at Bai Er Lang. Bai Er Lang looked at her and asked innocently, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just suddenly wanted to check your homework. Come on, let me see what books you have been reading recently."
Shirojiro:......
The next day, Manbao and Bai Erlang learned the details from Bai Shan. "…They sent gifts from Longzhou, hoping to invite our family back to worship our ancestors for the New Year. Oh, and they also sent a New Year gift to my eldest cousin, asking him to bring Bai Er along. They said we've been away from our branch for years, and since we're close to Longzhou now, we should go back and worship our ancestors."
Manbao asked, "Has Grandmother Liu agreed to go back?"
Bai Shan said in a daze, "No, my grandmother said that I have a lot of schoolwork this year and I'm afraid I can't go back to my family. But I did receive a New Year gift and sent it back. As the gift list was just being drawn up, the steward of my family said it was a coincidence. My fifth uncle and my second and third brothers will also be in the capital to celebrate the New Year. Then we can go together..."
Manbao and Baijilang: ...
They both said in unison: "How shameless."
Bai Shan nodded in agreement, "It's very shameless. He even hinted that our family's villa in the capital has been uninhabited for a long time and is probably not popular..."
Manbao was shocked and asked, "They want to live in our house?"
Bai Erlang also looked terrified.
Bai Shan nodded, then glanced at the two of them, "What are you afraid of? My grandmother had already found a reason to refuse."
Manbao and Bai Erlang both breathed a sigh of relief. Manbao asked in distress, "What do they want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to repair the relationship." Bai Shan thought of something and chuckled, "It's been a year, and they just came up now. It seems that their reaction is not sensitive enough."
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps he came because he saw that we were safe and sound this year?"
Bai Shanlue thought about it and realized that it was true. "The news that the Queen Mother is seriously ill is not a big secret. Although no one knows the exact news now, everyone guesses that the Queen Mother will not live long."
Bai Shan, Man Bao and Bai Erlang are mortal enemies with the Yizhou King's family. The only powerful enemy that still exists is the Queen Mother.
Without the Queen Mother, no one will be able to threaten them anymore.
As for the two children left behind by the King of Yizhou, they themselves are the most dangerous. It is best for them to know the current situation and live in fear.
The three of them looked at each other, and Manbao couldn't help but sigh, "They are really careful."
Bai Erlang said, "We don't want to take any risk. They just showed up now. We are not stupid. We won't get along with them."
Bai Shan nodded, especially since they had some unhappy conflicts in the past.
The three of them exchanged information, thinking the matter was over. But just two days after returning from their holiday, and eagerly anticipating their annual leave, Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "Just to let you know, relatives from Bai Shan and Bai Cheng's families are here, and they had a great chat with Mr. Zhou."
Three people: ...
Manbao realized who the relatives Mr. Zhuang was talking about, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Did they give my father a gift?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "Yes, they sent a lot of meat. I heard that you have official land and are buying grain seeds for next spring. I also sent a lot of rice seeds and bean seeds to your house. Your father has seen them and they are very good."
Manbao: "...Where's my mother?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "Your fourth brother is also very friendly with people. I heard that he made friends two days ago. Because Longzhou is close to the grassland, he knows many Hu merchants there. Relatives from the Bai family introduced him to several Hu merchants."
Manbao turned his head and looked at Baishan.
Bai Erlang could only smack his lips and say, "This is too shameless."
Bai Shan thought about it for a moment and said, "It's okay, let them go. We don't want to make enemies with our family. We'll talk about it after we get out. There's still a short time, I don't believe they can do anything."
Manbao also nodded.
Her father loves money, but her fourth brother is smart, and with her mother around, nothing should go wrong.
Mr. Zhuang informed them of the outside news and asked them to prepare themselves mentally before patting Manbao on the head. He then said, "The final grand court meeting will be held tomorrow, right? Then we'll be sealed off for the New Year. As an editor and imperial physician, do you have anything to report?"
When Manbao heard this, the grand court meeting that she had originally intended to fool around with became different. She rolled her eyes and looked at Bai Shan and Bai Erlang with a sharp gaze, "Junior brothers, please help me."
See you at 6pm
I celebrated my old man’s birthday yesterday and was exhausted all day, so I slept very well today.
