"Sister, come here quickly!"
As soon as she stepped through the door, a young man in a white brocade robe ran towards her with an excited look on his face.
"Fifth brother, you are dressed well today..."
So sexy.
Jiang Li swallowed the last two words alive and forced them to change into, "Handsome."
The man showed a hint of shyness when he heard this, and after a moment he hurriedly said: "Sister, you are finally here. Someone has been waiting for you for a long time. Come on."
"Anyone?"
With a hint of surprise, Jiang Li followed Jiang Mubai to the backyard and found that Yin Jia and Xiao Jiu were there.
"You two..."
Jiang Li looked left and right, then at Jiang Maoshan and Jiang Mubai. Xiao Jiu immediately explained, "Sister Yin Jia came to the herbal medicine shop and said that the hot spring manor's business has been very hot recently, and they want to increase the supply of herbal medicine."
"Exactly. I didn't expect that Fifth Young Master Jiang said there would be a barbecue banquet at the General's Mansion today, and that you, Princess, would be there too. That's why we had the audacity to come and bother you."
As Yin Jia spoke, her face flushed slightly, and even her fingertips trembled. It seemed that this was her first time in the general's mansion, and she was a little nervous.
"I'm not disturbing you," Jiang Li didn't miss the affection in her fourth and fifth brothers' eyes. She glanced at Xue Rou and smiled, "My mother likes a lively home the most, and she especially likes soft and sweet girls like you. Mom, don't you agree?"
"That's right, you guys should come to play more often so I can refresh my eyes. I'm tired of watching those brats all day long."
Xue Rou said bluntly.
As for the brats she mentioned, they were currently working with Jiang Yao to cut bamboo sticks, string meat on skewers, and make a fire to grill the skewers.
In the general's mansion, there is no such thing as a gentleman staying away from the kitchen.
They were all soldiers who were used to living in the open air, especially when fighting a war, they would eat whatever was available.
"Mom, since you like them so much, why don't you adopt a goddaughter so that they can come and accompany you more often? What do you think?"
Taking the pastry handed to her by Xue Rou, Jiang Li ate while looking at the two brothers who looked at them from time to time, and said casually.
"I think this suggestion is good."
Jiang Yao took over the conversation, "Two more girls to accompany your mother, so that she won't be annoyed by your brothers all day and come to trouble me."
"You old thing, you complain as soon as your daughter comes, don't you?"
Xue Rou glared at Jiang Yao, then looked at Yin Jia and Gu Yuyan and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Putting aside whether Miss Yin is willing or not, the Ninth Princess is the Emperor's daughter. How can he be recognized as his goddaughter? This old man is really talking nonsense more and more."
"Mrs. Xue is so kind, I am willing to be your goddaughter."
Gu Yuyan was very excited. If she could become Madam Xue's goddaughter, she wouldn't have to call Jiang Lihuang "Auntie" anymore. She could just call her "Sister"! Wouldn't that make them closer?
"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Mubai almost stabbed his hand with the stick. "My mother is right, you are a princess."
"I don't care. I'll tell my father when I get back. He's been doting on me lately. If I tell him, he'll definitely agree."
Jiang Mubai was speechless for a moment.
The more Gu Yuyan thought about it, the more excited she became. She looked at Yin Jia and said, "Sister Yin Jia, what about you? Are you willing?"
How many years older than Gu Yuyan was Jiang Li? Yin Jia naturally heard that Jiang Li was joking, but she still took over the conversation, "I grew up with my brother since I was young. If I could recognize Madam Xue as my godmother, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."
"ah--"
As soon as Yin Jia finished speaking, Jiang Mubai punched Jiang Maoshan in the arm and cried out in pain: "Fourth brother, you are trying to murder me!"
Jiang Maoshan came back to his senses and realized that he had poked the skewer directly into Jiang Mubai's hand.
"Are you okay?"
Seeing this, Gu Yuyan stopped smiling, quickly put down the hot tea in her hand, walked to Jiang Mubai, took out a handkerchief and wiped his wound.
Jiang Li had no idea why her fourth brother was acting this way. Worried about another accident, she stopped joking and said helplessly, "Well, if you ask me, mother, if you want to adopt a goddaughter, why not... have the brothers work hard and marry wives as soon as possible? What do you say?"
After saying that, he looked at the four people intentionally.
Xue Rou suddenly realized.
He quickly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, Ah Jia and the Ninth Princess, you don't have to worry about them. Come, come, since I have nothing to do now, I will tell you the story of my sons fighting in the battlefield."
It is said that beautiful women love heroes the most. Xue Rou dared not to expose the past of those two boys anymore, otherwise it would scare away her two daughters-in-law, which would be bad.
After dinner, Jiang Li played mahjong with Xue Rou for a while until the snow stopped, and then they returned to the palace.
Thinking about giving instructions to the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital tomorrow, Jiang Li went straight to the study. After finishing writing the training plan, he still didn't feel sleepy, so he took out another piece of paper.
"If I want to ask about lovesickness, I am most afraid of it."
The words that came out casually made Jiang Li's mind dazed.
"Princess, it's the end of the midnight hour. It's time to rest."
Bai Zhi knocked on the door, Jiang Li responded softly, wrote a few words quickly, and put it in the letter beside him.
The wind was blowing fiercely outside the courtyard, and several servants were waiting outside the study, holding lanterns.
Jiang Li handed the letter to Bai Zhi and said, "Tell Mo Qi to find someone to deliver the letter to the prince tomorrow."
"Yes." Bai Zhi asked softly, "Does the princess miss the prince?"
Jiang Li hummed, then smiled and said, "You are the one who understands me best. Tell me, how can I bear to marry you off in the future?"
"I will never marry. I will stay with the princess forever."
Bai Zhi blushed.
"Not getting married? That won't do. If that happens, someone will probably get angry."
"Princess, you are teasing me again..."
The voices of the master and servant gradually faded away, and the usually deserted palace became completely different from then on.
///
On the twenty-ninth day of the year, there was a palace banquet.
"Mo Qi, inform the brothers of Mo Yun Pavilion that they can visit Prince Zhuang's mansion again tonight."
Early in the morning, when Jiang Li was getting dressed up, she called Mo Qi aside to remind him.
A few days ago, news came from Moyun Pavilion that the guards at Prince Zhuang's mansion were extremely strict, and if they forced their way in, there was a fear of a head-on confrontation.
Jiang Li suspended their actions at that time, but tonight was a rare opportunity.
"yes."
Mo Qi had followed Prince Jingling for so long, and when he heard the news, he also realized the problems in Prince Zhuang's mansion.
Therefore, I have always kept this matter in mind.
Since the last celebration banquet, the emperor has greatly reduced the number of palace banquets. Therefore, this palace banquet is also a rare opportunity for ministers to meet the emperor with their families. Therefore, as soon as the carriage arrived at the palace gate, Jiang Li saw many carriages waiting there.
"Greetings to Princess Jingling."
As soon as he got off the carriage, Jiang Li met an acquaintance.
"Princess Yong'an, long time no see."
Today, Yong'an has long gotten rid of the exaggerated makeup she wore when they first met. It is said that the emperor intends to marry her to the second young master of Prince Ning's Mansion. Although Jiang Li has never seen that person, there are rumors that he is an extremely handsome and elegant young man.
