That evening, after dinner, Murong Xuan returned to the Murong family and told his parents that his grandparents would be staying at the Phoenix Prince's Mansion for a few days.
Murong Fu is the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, and he is so busy that he has no time to spare. A few days ago, he was away from the capital because of important business.
I just got back tonight and learned that my parents had rushed back from their hometown.
Murong Fu and Xiao Qingya never interfered with the decisions of the old master and madam; they just wanted them to be happy. They even added that they would go there first thing tomorrow morning.
Murong Xuan knew this would be the case, and of course, he would go tomorrow.
Xiao Qingya also went to the storeroom to prepare many gifts, which she planned to take to the Fengwang Mansion early the next morning. They were all gifts for her little niece, since they rarely saw each other.
Murong Fu naturally supported his wife's opinion, after all, he also cherished his little niece very much.
Although Xiao Qingya wasn't from an official family, the Xiao family was the wealthiest in the capital. They only had one daughter, and she was pampered from a young age. However, she never neglected etiquette or manners.
Their temperament and refinement are no less than those of wealthy families.
She met and became acquainted with Murong Fu because of certain events.
The Murong family doesn't have any concept of social status when it comes to marriage; as long as the two people like each other and are willing to stay together, that's all that matters.
Furthermore, all children of the Murong family must abide by the ancestral precept of monogamy.
After their marriage, Murong Fu was in charge of external affairs and was often too busy to be seen. Fortunately, Xiao Qingya took care of things at home.
After their son was born, his wife suffered even more. She took care of the elderly, the young, and him. He was very grateful for his wife's contributions to the family.
Therefore, he fully supports whatever his wife does.
...
The next morning, Murong Fu, his wife Xiao Qingya, and their eldest son Murong Xuan arrived at the Phoenix Prince's Mansion in a grand procession, carrying gifts.
Upon hearing the servant's report, the Prince and his wife, who were in the hall, quickly got up and went to the door to greet them.
"Brother and sister-in-law." Murong Wan quickly went to greet them.
"Wan'er, little sister."
"Your Highness."
Murong Fu and Xiao Qingya wanted to bow to Feng Qingcang, but were stopped by the people who came to greet them.
"We're family, no need for formalities. Come in quickly." Murong Wan ignored Feng Qingcang and pulled Xiao Qingya towards the main hall.
At this moment, Feng Qinghuang was admiring the flowers in the garden with her maternal grandparents. Hearing the noise, she helped her grandparents walk outside.
The two groups met at the entrance of the hall.
"Father, Mother," Murong Fu and Xiao Qingya greeted their parents.
"Uncle, Aunt," Feng Qinghuang quickly greeted them.
"Huang'er, you're so good. You won't leave this time, will you?" Xiao Qingya looked at Feng Qinghuang with affection.
Feng Qinghuang shook her head: "I'm not leaving."
Xiao Qingya was delighted: "That's wonderful! Come visit your aunt at the Murong residence more often when you have time. Your aunt will buy you whatever you want."
Feng Qinghuang chuckled and said, "Okay, thank you, Aunt."
Murong Wan looked at the two of them and realized they had hit it off so easily?
My sister-in-law's family is wealthy, but they don't spend money like this.
Murong Wan: "Sister-in-law, don't spoil her. She doesn't lack anything, why should you spend money on her?"
"Wan'er, how can this be the same? What's hers is hers. As her aunt, I'm willing to spend money on my niece. Who told me I don't have a pretty daughter?"
Murong Wan sighed helplessly. Was she going to spoil Huang'er rotten?
Murong Xuan, who followed behind, was already used to it. After all, he wasn't a sweet and gentle girl.
His own mother disliked him from a young age. He was extremely beautiful when he was little, and his mother often dressed him up as a girl.
He often complained to his father about this, but it was no use. His father even tried to appease his mother by telling him to be obedient. He cried a lot about this when he was a child.
Feng Qingyun, who was next to Murong Xuan, patted his shoulder and gave him a look that said, "I understand you."
"Alright, everyone, stop standing here and come inside and sit down," said Mr. Murong.
Then everyone followed the old man and entered the hall one after another.
Just as everyone was seated, a servant came to report that Princess Rongxiao had brought Princess Rongqing to visit.
The members of the Murong family were all wondering why these two people had come to the Phoenix Prince's Mansion.
Murong Wan's eyelids twitched; today was truly lively.
Upon hearing the servant's words, Feng Qinghuang immediately came out: "Really? Sister Xiao and Sister Qing are here! Quick, quick, take me there."
Feng Qinghuang, like a gust of wind, grabbed the servant's sleeve and ran out.
In public, Feng Qinghuang always appears cold and aloof, seemingly uninterested in talking to anyone. But in front of her family and friends, she always seems innocent and harmless.
Besides, she genuinely liked those two older sisters.
Upon reaching the door, Feng Qinghuang saw two graceful young women and quickly ran over to hug them.
"Sister Xiao, Sister Qing, you came to find me! I'm so happy!"
Rong Xiao patted her head: "I thought you wouldn't welcome us? After all, we've only met once."
Feng Qinghuang shook her head: "How could that be? You are my first good friends. I'm overjoyed!"
"So who was your first good friend? There are two of us, you know?" Rong Xiao teased her on purpose.
Rong Qing: "That's right, Sister Huang'er, I want to be the first one!"
Rong Qing also wanted to tease her future sister-in-law.
Feng Qinghuang hadn't expected that the two of them would deliberately seize on her words to tease her. "Hmph, I'm not someone to be trifled with." Feng Qinghuang thought for a moment, then suddenly launched a counterattack.
Feng Qinghuang looked aggrieved: "You're all bullying me. In my heart, you're all the same. Why are you ranked first and second?"
Rong Xiao and Rong Qing hadn't expected this little guy to be so easily teased. Looking at his aggrieved little face, they felt they had been so wrong.
This little guy needs to be pampered; you can't deliberately bully him.
"Alright, alright, I was just teasing you. No need to queue, no need to queue." Rong Xiao couldn't stand seeing that aggrieved expression on his face.
“Yes, yes, no, not even my sister.” Rong Qing was also at a loss.
Feng Qinghuang asked in a soft, sweet voice, "Really?"
Rong Xiao and Rong Qing immediately nodded.
"Great, let's go in." Feng Qinghuang immediately smiled.
He took the two girls' hands and walked towards the hall.
Rong Xiao and Rong Qing were helpless. This meant that if they didn't admit their mistake, they wouldn't be allowed into the manor today.
There's nothing we can do; this little guy is very spoiled, so we just have to indulge him.
