"Tao'er, get ready. Take all the pastries and food I made. I'm going to dine with the prince later," Fucha Mingyu said to the maid beside her. She had originally planned to have the prince dine at her place tonight, but a servant came to report that Hongzhou had come to the mansion tonight. It had been a long time since she had seen Hongzhou, so she wanted to go and see him.
Hongli was drinking alone when he saw Fucha Mingyu and her servant walk into the courtyard one after the other.
“Your Highness, I heard that Hongzhou came to the manor and made some food and pastries for you. Where is he?” As he spoke, Fucha Mingyu took out the dishes from the food trays and placed them on the stone table.
"Thank you for your trouble. Since you're here, please stay and have a meal with us. Hongzhou will be back soon," Hongli said.
At this moment, Hongzhou returned from his toilet break and saw an extra person by the table. Upon entering, he discovered it was Mingyu and hurriedly went up to greet her.
After the two finished exchanging greetings, Hongzhou noticed the food that Mingyu had brought on the table.
"I love the pastries that Sister Mingyu made herself. And today we have fine wine too, it's a perfect match for good food and good wine," Hongzhou said with a grin.
Mingyu chuckled: "It's been a long time since I've seen you, but your mouth is still as charming as ever!"
Everyone sat together, laughing and joking.
"What brings you here today for a casual get-together?" Mingyu asked casually.
Hongzhou's wedding is in a few days, and it seems that everything is arranged.
"I'm getting married soon, so naturally I've come here to learn from your experience! How can I have such a good relationship like you two?" Hongzhou teased.
Mingyu blushed as she was teased, while Hongli just smiled and remained silent.
"I think you're getting more and more mischievous. Hurry up and try it. It doesn't taste as good as before. Hongli has been saying that my cooking skills have deteriorated recently. Let him see if my skills have really declined!" Mingyu quickly changed the subject and let Hongzhou try the pastries she had recently learned to make.
Hongzhou picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of the soft and chewy pastry, and put it in his mouth. It was sweet and delicious. He exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Delicious! Your cooking skills are getting better and better. I will eat your pastries every time I come here. If I can't eat them, I will stay here forever."
Mingyu's eyes lit up with joy upon hearing Hongzhou's praise. "I'm glad you like it. I'll make it for you next time you come."
"With your gluttonous nature, once you have a wife, you probably won't remember us. She'll feed you so well, you won't even remember your sister-in-law's cooking," Hongli teased Hongzhou from the side.
Hongzhou saw that Hongli was mocking him again, but he ignored him and went to talk to Mingyu. Laughter came from Hongli's mansion as the three of them drank, reminisced, and chatted happily.
Seeing that everyone was there, Hongzhou suddenly remembered Ulanara Xueying and said to Hongli, "Why don't we invite the concubine over? Let's all get together."
Upon hearing the name Ulanara Xueying, Mingyu's initially cheerful mood instantly sombered.
“It’s getting late, I’m afraid she’s already resting, let’s do it another time,” Hongli said.
“It’s not too late now, go and call her, she’ll definitely keep her appointment,” Hongzhou said, refusing to give up.
"Let's call my sister over. It's been a long time since the four of us have talked together," Mingyu said with a faint smile.
Seeing that Mingyu said this, Hongli could not refuse again, so he sent someone to invite Ulanara Xueying to come here for a gathering.
