"Of course it's a happy occasion! Just after breakfast, Prince Chu and Old Lady Chen from the Rong Mansion actually came to the Prime Minister's residence. They are currently chatting with the old lady and the Prime Minister in Baishun Hall! The two of you specifically requested to see the eldest lady, so the Prime Minister immediately sent an old servant to invite you!"
However, Yun Qianmeng did not seem very happy when she heard the news. She felt that she was standing on the cusp of a storm. If she accidentally fell, she would probably be left with nothing!
However, in order to prevent her from making excuses for not going, Yun Xuanzhi actually sent a sedan chair over. This shows that he wants to get close to these two families!
"In that case, let's go! Don't let the elders wait for a junior like me!" Nodding to Mu Chun, Yun Qianmeng walked out with steady steps!
At this moment in Baishun Hall, the old lady and Yun Xuanzhi were chatting with two distinguished guests!
It's just that both Old Lady Chen and the King of Chu are people with eccentric personalities. If they don't like someone, they won't even bother to look at them. If it weren't for the fact that it's inconvenient for a girl to meet guests in her own boudoir, they wouldn't sit here and listen to this hypocritical mother and son chattering and wasting their time!
Besides, at this moment, the two of them had something more important to do, which was to ignore each other and stare at each other secretly...
I guess neither of them expected that the other would visit the Prime Minister's Residence today!
But I couldn't help but feel lucky that I came today, otherwise if I was a step later, that girl would really become someone else's!
Thinking of this, the two of them actually breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to themselves that they had finally not fallen behind others!
No matter what Yun Xuanzhi said to the old lady, seeing that the two had no intention of responding, they couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. They smiled a little awkwardly, picked up the teacups at hand and started drinking tea. For a moment, the only sound in the side room was the sound of teacups being picked up and put down!
"Madam, Prime Minister, the eldest lady is here!" At this time, Miao Wuhuang, who had arrived ahead, came in to report!
Everyone noticed that the two guests, who had just had gloomy and dull expressions, suddenly had their eyes brightened and showed excitement when they heard that Yun Qianmeng had arrived!
This phenomenon made Yun Xuanzhi secretly happy, but a hint of gloom flashed across the old lady's eyes...
At this time, the door curtain was lifted by the maids, and Yun Qianmeng, who was dressed in home clothes, walked in slowly with the support of Mu Chun. She was not wearing any makeup, and her clothes were elegant and beautiful. She was even more beautiful than those ladies who were dressed up. Immediately, Old Lady Chen and King Chu smiled with satisfaction!
"Meng'er greets my grandmother and father, and greets the old lady, Prince Chu!" Yun Qianmeng walked up to the few people and bowed to them gracefully!
"Meng'er, get up quickly and sit down quickly. Don't get tired!" Yun Xuanzhi tried his best to act like a loving father. In order not to leave a bad impression on the two guests, the old lady asked Miao Ma to add a cushion for Yun Qianmeng.
However, at this time, there was a hidden undercurrent between the King of Chu and Old Lady Chen, and neither of them noticed the behavior of Yun Xuanzhi and others!
The King of Chu was glaring at Old Lady Chen because Yun Qianmeng called her that first. The Old Lady Chen naturally couldn't stand being glared at for no reason. However, since Yun Qianmeng mentioned her name first, Old Lady Chen couldn't help but feel proud. She glanced at the King of Chu with a smile in her eyes!
Chu Nanshan was furious and glared at her fiercely. Then he looked at Yun Qianmeng and asked softly, "Is your injury better, little girl?"
Yun Qianmeng naturally stood up to answer his question. Mu Chun quickly supported her and bowed to King Chu. Yun Qianmeng then replied gracefully, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. My injuries have improved! I am flattered by the gifts you and the old lady sent me a few days ago. I would like to thank both elders for their concern!"
Chu Nanshan was very satisfied to see her being so polite, but the little girl was very unfamiliar with him, calling him "Prince" all the time, which was not friendly at all!
Then he smiled and said, "Your grandmother and I are of the same generation. Little girl, you can call me grandpa! It will make us seem more intimate!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone heard Old Lady Chen snort coldly. Then, she looked straight ahead and said with a cold face, "Your Highness, this is disrespectful! Miss Yun and Your Highness are not related in any way, so why does she call you... Grandpa? If that's the case, then shouldn't all the young ladies in the capital who are the same age as Miss Yun call you... Grandpa?"
Chu Nanshan heard this, but he did not fly into a rage. His smiling face did not show any anger at all. He just refuted Old Lady Chen in a slightly cold voice, "I'm afraid some people want to be called... "Grandma" in their hearts, but they dare not say it out loud! This is like sour grapes. How can I, the dignified King of Chu, be so petty with a woman! Little girl, don't you agree?"
In the end, Chu Nanshan even dragged Yun Qianmeng into the water, wishing that Yun Qianmeng would join him in dealing with Old Lady Chen!
Yun Qianmeng was called upon and had to answer the King of Chu's question. She filtered the answer in her mind before slowly speaking, "Your Highness is caring for the younger generation, and the old lady is abiding by etiquette! Neither of you is wrong, it's Qianmeng who has put you in a difficult position!"
When Yun Xuanzhi saw Yun Qianmeng being questioned by the King of Chu, he was afraid that her answer would offend Old Lady Chen, and wanted to block it for her. But when he saw Yun Qianmeng handling it appropriately, his heart slowly settled down, and he sat aside and drank tea quietly, leaving the two of them to Yun Qianmeng to deal with!
After all, no matter which mansion Yun Qianmeng marries into in the future, she will be the mistress of the house. If she can't even handle such a small situation, wouldn't it be a disgrace to Yun Xuanzhi!
The old lady had no intention of helping Yun Qianmeng out. At this moment, she even wanted Yun Qianmeng to make a fool of herself so that she could call Yun Yiyi out with good reason and let these two distinguished guests get to know her!
However, after the old lady heard Yun Qianmeng's reply, her expression suddenly darkened, and a surge of anger suddenly rose in her heart. Without even looking at Yun Qianmeng, she picked up the tea beside her and drank it, trying to suppress the evil fire that was constantly surging in her heart!
However, Chu Nanshan and Old Lady Chen were very satisfied with Yun Qianmeng's answer. The originally tense atmosphere disappeared because of the two elders' hearty smiles!
At this time, Butler Zhao came in holding a red invitation with gold foil and respectfully handed it to Yun Xuanzhi. "Prime Minister, this is an invitation from the Sea Prince's Mansion. They say that the Sea Prince has a son and invites our eldest daughter to come to celebrate..."
Yun Xuanzhi opened the invitation and took a closer look. His face was already filled with joy. He immediately asked Butler Zhao to notify Aunt Liu to make new clothes for Yun Qianmeng so that she could prepare for the banquet!
The old lady almost choked on her tea, and seeing Yun Xuanzhi so happy, she became even more furious!
When the other two heard the news, their expressions, which had finally relaxed, suddenly became serious again. They looked at each other, and it was like a flash of lightning and a raging wave. For a moment, there was an undercurrent surging in Baishun Hall, and the atmosphere of a daily rivalry filled the air!
However, Yun Qianmeng's eyes flashed with coldness after hearing what Butler Zhao said. It seemed that Hai Tian still remembered the last time she provoked her at the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion, and today she was using the fact that the prince had a son to make her look bad in front of all the ladies!
