The news that Rong Qi had brought grapes for Feng Qinghuang quickly spread throughout the Feng Prince's mansion.
In the main hall of the Fengwang Mansion, Murong Wan was eating grapes in front of her, while Feng Qingcang was handing them to his wife.
"Is this stuff really that delicious?"
Murong Wan glanced at him: "What do you know? Grapes are good for beauty and health. Besides, these were brought by Rong Qi for Jiao Jiao, and also to show respect to his mother-in-law. Of course they taste sweet to me."
When Feng Qingcang heard that he should be filial to his mother-in-law, he immediately became angry. Why doesn't he show filial piety to me?
"Then when will he show me some filial piety? No, I don't need him to show me filial piety. I haven't even agreed to our daughter marrying him yet!"
Murong Wan: "What good will it do if you disagree?"
Feng Qingcang wanted to refute his wife's words, but he didn't dare.
Why can't he make the decision? That's his own daughter. If he doesn't agree, that brat Rong Qi won't be able to marry his precious daughter so easily.
Hmph, but in front of his wife, he still wouldn't say anything bad about Rong Qi, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get into the house tonight.
Murong Wan: "If you ask me, Rong Qi and our Huang'er are truly a perfect match. They like each other, so what difficulties can't they overcome? Besides, the Emperor and Empress have already given their approval!"
Feng Qingcang: "Hmph, anyway, our Huang'er can't get married so early. Let's wait a couple of years."
Murong Wan rolled her eyes at him: "This is not something you can decide. If that kid Rong Qi can't wait, it's easy for him to get an imperial edict from the Emperor. I think it's better to get married sooner, so we can hold our grandson sooner."
"Tell me, how beautiful must Huang'er and Rong Qi's child be!"
Upon hearing Murong Wan's words, Feng Qingcang suddenly had images flash through his mind.
Yes, their Huang'er and Rong Qi's child must be the most beautiful, no one can compare.
But Huang'er is still this child. No, no, we have to wait another two years.
He didn't want his daughter to suffer like this at such a young age.
Seeing that Feng Qingcang remained silent, Murong Wan knew he doted on his daughter, but she felt the same way; she was her own flesh and blood. However, her beloved daughter's mind was entirely focused on Rong Qi, and whether they would get married sooner or later was not up to them to decide.
Murong Wan: "Instead of worrying about your daughter, why don't you worry about your son? He's all grown up and there's still no sign of him getting married!"
"What's wrong with my son? Doesn't he like Rong Xiao?"
Murong Wan: "Yes, but Xiao'er is a legitimate princess. Is it really that easy for her to marry him? If you ask me, you should ask your son what he's thinking, and then try to find out what the Emperor thinks."
Feng Qingcang nodded: "Alright, none of them are easy to deal with."
Murong Wan chuckled: "Alright, they've already been very considerate, otherwise you'd be driven crazy."
"Wash some more grapes for me."
"Eh."

Prince Rong's Mansion
When the grapes arrived, Princess Rong looked at Rong Yi and Rong Xin and asked, "Did A Qi send these over? Where is he?"
Rongyi: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince has gone to the Phoenix Prince's residence."
Xiao Muqing: "Well, he's off to see his sweetheart again. He hardly ever goes home anymore."
Rong Zhan: "Isn't Aqi thinking of you? Look, he even brought you a basket of grapes, no one else did!"
"Yes, Mother, please don't take it to heart. My elder brother is very busy right now and wants to marry my sister-in-law as soon as possible. Once she's married, you'll see if he's still running around every day!" Rong Qing quickly comforted her mother, afraid of upsetting her.
Xiao Muqing: "Do you think I don't know? I just think he's always running to the Phoenix Prince's mansion. Isn't he afraid of being caught doing something wrong and affecting Xiao Huang'er's reputation?"
Rong Qing muttered, "I thought Mother was worried about my eldest brother, but it turns out she's worried about my younger sister, Huang."
"What is there to worry about with your older brother? With his personality, he should be worried about others."
"Pfft, Mother is absolutely right."
Rong Li carried in the washed grapes and, hearing her sister's laughter, quickly asked, "Qing'er, what are you laughing at? Why are you so happy?"
Rong Qing shook her head: "No, it's just that Mother Consort doesn't seem to be worried about my eldest brother. Instead, she's worried about the reputation of my eldest brother's sweetheart, Sister Huang."
Rong Li sometimes found it hard to understand what his mother said. But that was his mother, the mother whom the whole family doted on.
"Alright, that's just how your mother is, you know that. What's so funny? Hurry up and eat."
Rong Qing took one, popped it into her mouth, and found it icy cold.
"Wow, it's so cold, but it tastes so good."
"Mother, try one, eat slowly." Rong Qing fed one to Xiao Muqing.
Xiao Muqing swallowed before speaking, "Hmm, it does taste quite good. You and Li'er can take some back later and share it with the people in the courtyard. Put the rest in the ice cellar for now, and you can eat it when you want."
"Yes, Mother."
After Xiao Muqing and Rong Zhan left, Rong Qing ate grapes while her eyes darted around.
Rong Qing suddenly spoke up: "Brother, I'm going out to play later, can you cover for me?"
Rong Li glanced at her younger sister: "How many times has this happened this month?"
Rong Qing pouted: "Only second..."
"To be honest, otherwise..."
"Only the fifth time."
