Chapter 900 Five Horses Pulling
But who would have thought that since this dining chair was made, Wanwan has never come to Dingguo Marquis Mansion once.
Now it comes in handy.
Lu Xingwan sat steadily on the chair, looking left and right. The soft seat cushion was extremely comfortable. The chair was just big enough for her to reach the dining table by herself.
The maid was already standing beside Wanwan, ready to serve her food.
Lu Xingwan raised her head and looked at her second aunt beside her with a smile in her eyes: "Second aunt, if I use all this food, then Sister Qionghua..."
Seeing her worried look, Tong couldn't help but reach out and touch her gently, and Zhao, who was standing by, couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw this scene.
Zhao's laughter was always very contagious: "Don't worry, the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion has prepared enough food."
"Miss Qionghua and Miss Tuan, it's the same. Now that you are in the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, take good care of yourselves and have a good rest."
After saying this, she stepped forward and scratched Wanwan's little nose: "Have enough sleep before eating."
Wei also nodded, agreeing with what Zhao said: "That's right, it's a rare trip for you to come back, and you've suffered enough in Yong'an County. Now that you're back, just take a good rest. If there's anything you need to do, just tell us, and the people in the palace will take care of it for you."
Although Wanwan knew clearly that her aunt and the others could not help her solve the confusion in her heart, she was still deeply moved when she heard her aunt say this.
When my aunt talked about the glutinous rice ball, she also thought that the glutinous rice ball had now turned into the appearance of a spirit beast, lying there and sleeping!
If she were discovered by someone, it would probably cause some disputes.
Fortunately, my aunt gave them enough space today, and no one else could enter the entire yard.
This gave her a sense of safe haven.
Lu Xingwan turned her gaze to the maid beside her and said crisply: "Sister, you can serve me the dishes now. I want to try every one of them."
The maidservant beside her was ready to serve the princess, but when she heard the princess addressing her, she knelt down in panic and said, "Princess, please honor me. I don't deserve it."
How could she dare to call the princess her sister?
I’m afraid my life is in danger.
Lu Xingwan also realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly reached out and pulled the maid up.
"In that case, serve me the food quickly!"
The maid stood up tremblingly, looked in the direction of Wei, and when she saw her nod slightly, she carefully began to serve the food to Lu Xingwan.
I had heard before that Princess Yong'an was very much like the Imperial Concubine, very casual, but today, the title of "sister" really made her tremble with fear.
So she no longer had the relaxed feeling she had before, and became extremely cautious.
This meal, perhaps because the dishes were so delicious, or perhaps because Lu Xingwan felt at peace, she ate especially happily.
It seems like it has been a long time since I felt the pleasure brought by this kind of food.
It seemed that she was not only eating this meal to satisfy her appetite, but also to enjoy the rare warmth and tranquility.
After Lu Xingwan had his fill of food and drink, he looked at his aunts and saw satisfaction in their expressions.
She patted her slightly bulging belly, feeling really full.
She leaned back contentedly, leaning on the chair behind her.
Suddenly remembering a mistake in what his third aunt had just said, Lu Xingwan turned to look at the other aunts standing beside him.
She asked with some doubt in her tone, "Why did Third Aunt call this Duke's Mansion the Dingguo Marquis Mansion just now?"
"Didn't the emperor appoint my eldest uncle as Duke of Dingguo before? How come now..." Could it be that the emperor changed his mind in such a short time after my mother and I left?
Logically speaking, my father should not be that kind of person.
After saying this, she stared closely at the aunts in front of her, her eyes wandering over their faces, as if waiting for them to give her a reasonable explanation.
After hearing what Wanwan said, Wei took the lead and took a step forward to sit beside Wanwan. She took her hand and shook her head gently at her: "Wanwan, don't be suspicious of your father."
Lu Xingwan raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't expect that her aunt was so powerful that she could actually guess what she was thinking.
"Now, this Duke's Mansion has indeed been restored to its former state as the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion." The guard always spoke so gently, "This was a joint decision made by your grandfather and your uncle after consultation."
"Your uncle said that our Song family now has two generals guarding the border, and your mother is now in Yong'an County and is the Imperial Concubine in the palace."
"Even if your uncle is named Marquis Dingguo, it would already be an exception. But if he is named Duke Dingguo, I'm afraid some people will feel uneasy."
"At the very least, it's not good for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is now a descendant of the Song family."
Lu Xingwan just looked up at her aunt in front of her, waiting for her to finish speaking.
Just because of this, the emperor took back his imperial edict?
Isn’t it said that a gentleman’s word is as good as gold?
Wei continued, "It was your grandfather who went to the palace to ask for permission many times before His Majesty was willing to revoke his order."
Wei's voice was calm and steady, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
Wanwan nodded. At this moment, she finally understood what her aunt meant.
It is difficult to catch up with a horse with four horses, so my grandfather used five horses to pull the horse.
Thinking of this, she suddenly laughed for some reason.
If my senior brother heard what I said, he would probably hit me with a stick and say that I was ignorant and incompetent.
Wanwan also felt quite emotional.
It seems that my grandfather and uncle did listen to what my mother said.
In order to consider the overall situation, they were able to go to the palace and ask their father to give up the title of Duke Dingguo.
If it happened to someone else, it would probably be impossible.
This really puts my grandfather in a difficult position.
However, her grandfather was indeed too cautious. She believed that with her father's ability, he would be able to handle these matters properly.
But now that things have come to this, Marquis Dingguo is also very good.
It would be best if the entire Song family were safe and sound. As for official positions and power, forget about them.
But you still have to have the money you need.
If she didn't have money, she wouldn't be able to have such a good breakfast today.
At this moment, the silence was broken by the sudden sound of footsteps, which were very rapid.
Obviously, the voice was powerful, unlike the soft footsteps of the woman in the inner house. Lu Xingwan raised his head and looked towards the door with bright eyes.
