Chapter 134 Why did Yaoyao kiss me again?
Mingzhao didn't say anything, just nodded and held Shijianli's hand.
Shi Jianli glanced at the clasped hands and nodded calmly at the woman, "Is she Zhou's cousin?"
Since he is a member of the royal family, his surname is naturally Zhou.
Mingzhao only said that there were only four people from the Yuan family, so this girl must be from the Prince of Guangde's Mansion.
"Yes, I am the third child in the family." Zhou Siyao secretly looked at Shi Jianli and felt that his cousin's wife was a little too gorgeous. Then he saw the two of them holding hands, and a solemn look flashed across his face, which had never smiled.
Shi Jianli glanced at her, lowered her eyelashes slightly, and said in a neutral tone, "Miss Zhou San came to enjoy the scenery?"
"Yes, I just happened to walk here and saw my cousin and his wife were here too, so I came over to say hello. After saying hello, I decided not to disturb them anymore." Zhou Siyao bowed again, turned around and walked away gracefully.
Lanxing just came back. He knelt down and bowed to Zhou Siyao, then entered the pavilion and handed the fish food to Shi Jianli.
Shi Jianli grabbed a handful of fish food and scattered it into the pond.
Mingzhao also looked at Xianyue: "Get a basin of water."
"yes."
Then he put his arm around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder. "She won't stay long. Madam, don't be unhappy. I'll let Tianfeng and Tianyu come back to stay with me later."
He gave Tianfeng and Tianyu a day off, so they were not at home today.
Shi Jianli turned her head, tilted her head back slightly to look at him, and kissed his cheek, "Yeah."
Mingzhao smiled and asked, "Where are we going after feeding the fish? Back to the yard?"
"Let's go sit with mother, and then go to grandmother together." She threw handfuls of fish food into the pond and watched the fish scramble for the food.
The spring breeze blew, the corners of her spring clothes overlapped, she turned her head, and her lips brushed his cheek.
He chuckled, "Why did Yaoyao kiss me again?"
She poked his Adam's apple with her clean finger and said, "You are too close to me. You ask me even though you know the answer. I need to wash my hands."
Mingzhao's Adam's apple was still rolling. Seeing Xianyue coming back with water, he took her hand and put it into the basin, washing it carefully.
Shi Jianli stared at his serious expression for a moment, pulled her wet hand out of his and put it on his face.
His cheeks felt cold, and seeing the smug look on her face, Mingzhao couldn't help but laugh. He held her wrist and pulled her hand down, then took the handkerchief handed to her by Xianyue and wiped her hands clean. "Naughty."
After drying his hands, he put the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Help me wipe it."
Shi Jianli took a handkerchief and wiped the water marks on his cheek, then threw the handkerchief to him.
Mingzhao handed it back to Xianyue, then helped her up and walked towards Minghuayuan.
When they arrived at Minghua Courtyard, Yuan Yuhe was looking at the cashier and gift money in the wedding mansion.
"Madam, the Crown Prince and his wife are here." Jinzhi came in to announce.
"Welcome in."
"yes."
Shi Jianli and Mingzhao also bowed together: "Mother."
"Why are you here?" Yuan Yuhe put down the brush and asked with a smile.
"Come sit with mother. We'll go to grandma's place later." Seeing the account books piled in front of her, Shi Jianli asked again, "Can I help mother look at these account books?"
Yuan Yuhe waved her hand and asked Jinzhi to take the account book. "No need. It's not right to ask a new bride to do work on the second day of her wedding. It's not much. I'll find time to read it."
"Come, try the new tea I got and see if you like it. If you do, I'll have someone send you two boxes."
"Thank you, mother." Shi Jianli smiled and took the tea that Yuye brought over.
Seeing the lifelike crabapple blossom on her hair, Yuan Yuhe smiled and said, "This crabapple blossom looks quite real."
Shi Jianli took a sip of tea and replied a little embarrassedly: "It is indeed true. I picked it in the garden. The tea is bright in color and sweet in taste. It is indeed delicious."
Yuan Yuhe glanced at Ming Zhaohuan teasingly upon hearing this, "I'll have someone deliver it to you later. Since you like green tea, have them pick out a few good ones and send them over as well."
Shi Jianli was a little surprised, "How did mother know that I like green tea?"
"Zhao asked me for it several times. I asked casually, and he said it was a gift for me." The son and daughter-in-law are so loving, and they will soon have their first grandson.
Shi Jianli glanced at Ming Zhaohuan, who was placing the snacks on the table in front of her. She tapped the wall of the tall, narrow bowl and poured Yuan Yuhe a refill of tea.
"What are Li'er's plans for returning home?"
"I plan to have dinner with my aunt and uncle tomorrow, and go back to the princess's residence the day after tomorrow." Shi Jianli brought the plate of thousand-layer cake that Mingzhao had pointed to to Yuan Yuhe.
Yuan Yuhe looked at it and smiled, "Although your aunt is also at the mansion, the etiquette should not be abandoned. I will prepare two return gifts for you, one to send to the West Mansion and one to send back to the Princess's Mansion."
Shi Jianli curved her eyes and said, "Mother is so kind. Thank you for your concern."
Yuan Yuhe patted her hands and said, "I just hope that you children can live in harmony and happiness. Zhao is still a man, so it is inevitable that he may not be so careful about some things. Li'er, if you feel that there is something missing in the courtyard, please feel free to tell your mother. Don't be polite."
"Okay, I won't be polite to you, mother." Shi Jianli held her hand and asked with a smile, "What kind of incense did you use last night? It smelled so refreshing and soothing."
"It's Linglingxiang. Do you like it? I'll have someone send it to you." Yuan Yuhe smiled and patted her shoulder. "But you should use this incense less."
"Yes, thank you, mother. I have been here for a short time and I have already gotten a lot of good things from you."
"I have plenty of stuff here. Feel free to ask for it. I was planning to give it to you."
Around noon, there were sounds of conversation coming from the courtyard gate. Jinzhi went out and invited Madam Yuan and the other three in.
Shi Jianli and Mingzhao even stood up to greet her: "Aunt."
"Ah." Madam Yuan smiled and nodded. "Wan'er wanted to attend your wedding banquet, but she caught a cold before leaving and couldn't travel, so she brought you a gift."
"I thought I'd send it to you later. Since I found it at your mother's place, I'll give it to you here."
Mingzhao replied, "Aunt, please thank my cousin for us when you get home."
Madam Yuan waved her hand and said, "You can express your gratitude in person. Your uncle is being transferred back to Beijing, so we won't be returning to Ruyang. They will be coming to Beijing soon."
"Congratulations, uncle and aunt."
Yuan Yuhe said, "In that case, I'll give the key to the house on Shenwu Street to my sister-in-law and have someone clean it."
"Okay, I won't be polite with you." Madam Yuan nodded and looked at Shi Jianli. "Li'er, you haven't met your cousin yet, right? This is your cousin, and this is your cousin's wife."
Shi Jianli looked at the young couple following behind Madam Yuan and greeted them with a smile: "Cousin, cousin-in-law."
Yuan Qinghuan, who looked about 50% similar to Yuan Qingchen, smiled and nodded.
Yuan Qinghuan's wife, Zhao Xianyin, also smiled. "We've also prepared a wedding for my cousin and his wife, and we'll give it to you both along with my sister's. I hope you don't mind."
"How could that be? Thank you, cousin and cousin-in-law." Shi Jianli smiled, "I heard that my cousin's nephew is here too, why is he not here?"
"The child was tired from playing and fell asleep, so I didn't bring him here. I'll let him come over to meet his aunt when we have dinner later."
"good."
"Cousin, long time no see." After they finished talking, Yuan Qingchen stood up and called out to Mingzhao. He paused when he looked at Shi Jianli, then quickly put on a smile again, "Cousin."
After receiving her rejection letter, Yuan Qingchen was frustrated for a long time. A few months later, he heard that she was engaged to her cousin. This year, he came to Beijing to attend her and her cousin's wedding banquet.
