Chapter 231 News of Brother's Engagement
On the day when the two children were one month old, the Empress Dowager sent someone to take the children away early in the morning.
Wen Li'er was just regretting that she couldn't see her parents and brother today when Wan'an came in to report that her parents and brother had come to see her.
Wen Li'er was so excited that she almost jumped out of the bed, her face full of surprise.
"Are they really coming?"
Wan'an nodded hurriedly.
"My Lord, it is of course true. It was Xishun, who serves the Emperor, who brought them here personally."
Upon hearing this, Wen Li'er hurriedly urged, "Quick! Quick! Please invite them in."
Nanny Qin knew that she was happy, so she went to the gate to greet her personally.
Wen Li'er stretched her neck to look towards the bedroom door.
Soon, I saw my family members appear at the door.
Wen Li'er half stood up excitedly and waved her arms at them.
"Dad, Mom, Brother!"
Seeing her making such a big move, Liang Yuhe hurriedly stepped forward and pushed her back.
"You're already a mother of three little kids, why are you still so irritable?"
Wen Li'er stuck out her tongue embarrassedly.
She threw herself into her mother's arms and said coquettishly, "Even if I have three children, I am still your and daddy's eldest child."
Liang Yuhe poked her forehead, there was really nothing she could do to her.
Wen Li'er raised her head from her mother's arms and called daddy and brother sweetly again.
Seeing that she looked pretty good, Wen Tingkuan and Wen Zhiyan felt relieved.
After all, this was the bedroom of their daughter and sister, so the two of them couldn't stay there for long. After seeing everyone, they carried Xiaoxiao to the main hall.
Wen Li'er asked Nanny Qin to go with her and serve tea to her father and brother.
Liang Yuhe stayed in the bedroom and talked to Wen Lier.
She carefully asked about her daughter's health and finally felt relieved after confirming that she was not feeling unwell.
Wen Li'er said with a smile: "This time, thanks to Sister Ziyun, she is a good doctor and helped me prescribe a prescription to regulate my condition. Naturally, all the problems are gone. Don't worry, mother."
When she heard her talk about Ziyun, Liang Yuhe couldn't stop smiling.
"Li'er, this time when I come to the palace, I have good news for you."
Upon hearing the good news, Wen Li'er's eyes immediately lit up.
"Mom, is it possible that my brother and Sister Ziyun's marriage has been decided?"
Liang Yuhe nodded repeatedly: "My daughter is smart. I have already contacted Ziyun's aunt. They are both not young anymore, and the wedding cannot be delayed. It will be scheduled for the end of the year."
Wen Li'er was surprised: "Mom, it's so urgent, is there enough time?"
"Why not?" Liang Yuhe smiled and said, "I've been urging your brother to get married these past few years, and I've even prepared a lot of the necessary things for the wedding. Both my family and the Nangong family are small, so when the time comes, we'll just invite your grandmother and your uncle's family to Beijing. The other guests will only be your father and your brother's colleagues, so it'll be simple."
Wen Li'er thought about it and it seemed so.
They only have some relatives on their maternal grandfather's side, and on Sister Ziyun's side there are only Aunt Nangong and the Su family.
During the years that my father served as an official, he was very cautious and never formed cliques for personal gain. He was only close friends with a few families.
My brother probably only has a few close classmates and colleagues.
"Mom, have you decided on a specific date?"
Liang Yuhe shook her head: "I still need to find a master to calculate it carefully."
"Then, once the date is confirmed, remember to have your brother write to me. I will then inform the Emperor that I will leave the palace to attend your brother and sister-in-law's wedding."
Hearing her daughter talking about the emperor, Liang Yuhe carefully observed her expression.
Wen Li'er touched her face, feeling a little confused.
"Mom, why are you looking at me like that?"
Liang Yuhe was relieved but also a little surprised when she saw that she didn't look sad or lost at all.
The emperor recently favored a new beauty, and the news was so widespread that even she had heard about it.
It's mainly those women who have nothing to do after eating who come to their homes and say sarcastic words.
She said something like new people are better than old ones, or that her daughter's favor may have reached its limit.
She simply drove the women out and finally refused to let them in.
She was really worried during this period.
How can we expect the emperor's favor to last forever?
She was afraid that her daughter would be unable to see the truth and shed tears.
How can a woman who just gave birth be sad?
Now it seems that Li'er is a broad-minded person, so it's good that she can take things in this way.
Liang Yuhe raised her hand and gently stroked her daughter's delicate cheek.
She said softly, "Li'er did the right thing. After entering the palace, the most important thing is to have children. Don't force anything else. You already have three children, and they are the most important to you. Raise them well, and when they grow up, they will be filial to you, and that's how you'll spend your life."
Although Wen Li'er didn't quite understand why her mother's words were strange, she still nodded obediently.
"Mother, don't worry. I will definitely raise the three children well. When they grow up, I will let them be filial to me and the emperor."
Liang Yuhe nodded repeatedly: "That's right."
The mother and daughter chatted for a long time, and the full moon banquet was over.
The Empress Dowager ordered Tiantian and Miaomiao to be sent back.
When Liang Yuhe came this time, she also prepared safety locks for the two children.
She put them on Tiantian and Miaomiao herself, hugged one and then the other, wishing she could see them every day.
Wen Li'er then had the two children taken to be seen by their father and brother.
Wen Tingkuan and Wen Zhiyan naturally liked these two children very much and each gave them gifts that they had prepared for them.
Wen Tingkuan was so happy to see his grandson and granddaughter that he hugged Tiantian and kissed him.
Wen Zhiyan felt as if he had just seen Tiantian rolling his eyes in disgust.
But soon, he felt that he must have seen it wrong.
How could such a young child know how to look down on others?
Wen Li'er then instructed Chef Li to prepare a large table of dishes. She had dinner with her parents and brother before watching them leave.
Yan Shixu is here.
After the full-moon banquet for the two children was over, he went to the Qinzheng Hall to meet with several ministers.
When we came out, it started to rain lightly outside.
The weather was getting colder, and Yongtai was worried that he would catch a cold, so he hurriedly took a cloak and put it on him before opening the umbrella.
Yan Shixu turned around and asked, "Have Lord Wen and the others left?"
Yongtai quickly replied, "I just left not long ago. The Imperial Noble Consort invited me to stay for dinner."
Yan Shixu nodded.
He looked at the rain that was getting heavier and was about to go back to the Yangxin Palace, but after taking two steps, he suddenly remembered something.
He frowned slightly and immediately turned around and changed his tone.
Yongtai knew at a glance that they were going to the Bixi Palace.
Unexpectedly, when they passed a lotus pond, they came across a palace maid shouting for help by the pond.
"Help, is there anyone? Come quickly, save my master!"
In the pool, a woman in an apricot dress flapped her arms and floated up and down in the water.
Because his face was covered with long black hair, Yan Shixu did not recognize who it was.
When Yongtai saw the palace maid crying for help by the pool, he reported, "Your Majesty, the one who fell into the pool is Chen Zhaoyi."
Yan Shixu raised his eyebrows. It turned out to be Chen Yian.
He thought for a moment, then asked Yongtai to go into the water and pull Chen Yian up.
Chen Yian lay on the edge of the pool. He had just survived the ordeal, but before he could even thank the emperor for saving his life, he coughed and vomited several mouthfuls of pool water.
She coughed until her face turned red, her throat was burning, and her body was shivering from the cold.
Yongtai wiped the water off his face and shivered all over.
The beginning of winter is coming soon, and the water in this pond is extremely cold.
Fortunately, he was still strong, otherwise he would have caught a cold.
