After Song Sanniang solved the hidden danger, she was in a very good mood and happily ordered the kitchen to prepare lunch.
The chef in the small kitchen listened to the maid sent by the princess ordering lunch. He used to be the royal chef in the palace. When Prince Rui was still the third prince, he had a toothache for a while and couldn't eat well. He was also a bit picky about food.
The Third Prince disliked many dishes, but thought the dishes cooked by him were acceptable, so Emperor Xuan sent him to the Third Prince's small kitchen.
He was also happy about it. The Third Prince had a good temper and was a gentle person. His taste was simpler than that of the other concubines in the palace, and he didn't have to intrigue with other imperial chefs.
Afterwards, the third prince was named the crown prince. In the palace, he only had to be cautious and careful, worrying about making mistakes and harming the third prince. He had no other worries.
When he went to Prince Rui's Mansion, he followed him all the time, but he felt a little empty while having some free time.
It was not until the princess came to Prince Rui's Mansion that Zhang Shouliang felt a sense of fulfillment of being needed. The princess was his soulmate, and he didn't know what was wrong with the princess's brain, it was full of all kinds of strange and weird food.
What he looked forward to most every day was cooking his signature dishes for the princess, listening to the servants talk about how much the princess loved his cooking, and...
Thinking of this, Zhang Shouliang said happily, "Xiao Qin, when the dishes are served later, please ask Miss Bihong what the princess would like to eat tonight. I will prepare it in advance."
"Okay, Master."
Song Sanniang was very satisfied with the meal. When she heard Xiao Qin from the kitchen asking about the next arrangements, she started ordering dishes without any hesitation.
He talked about several of Chef Zhang's specialties in a row, and only stopped when he felt that it was almost done, still wanting more.
108 looked at the host, who was frail when he first arrived in this world but is now plump and beautiful, and said weakly, "Host, why don't you control your appetite a little."
Song Sanniang looked at her current figure and asked, "Am I fat now?"
108 choked, but still said, "No, it's just right now."
Song Sanniang nodded and agreed, "I think so too."
She no longer paid attention to the system that was hesitant to speak. After eating and drinking, it was time for her and Xiaoyi and Xiaoer to play parent-child games.
For several days, Song Sanniang did nothing but eat, drink and sleep, taking care of the two children, and had no intention of leaving Prince Rui's Mansion.
She was fine, but the person behind the person who was waiting outside Prince Rui's Mansion for her to leave couldn't help it.
Dongfang Wen didn't expect that Song Sanniang could endure loneliness so well.
Regardless of whether it was a banquet for the Duke's wife or the Third Princess, the steward of Prince Rui's Mansion directly rejected the invitation on the grounds that the prince was worried about the princess's safety, and Song Sanniang went along with it, pretending not to know.
She also didn't want to go to those banquets. Whether in her memory or from what she had learned before, such family gatherings were the places where accidents were most likely to happen.
Since she was already married, she didn't need to contact the ministers' families.
Dongfang Rui just solved the problem for her, and she just had to lie down and wait for victory.
Song Wanqing sent several messages in succession, inviting Song Sanniang to a sisterly gathering to keep in touch with her, but received no reply.
There was no response the first time, and she comforted herself that they had a falling out before, so it was normal to be like this now.
She didn't mention how angry she was the second and third time, but it was all in vain if she couldn't see Song Sanniang.
Afterwards, Dongfang Wen urged her to invite Song Sanniang directly, but she refused outright.
Dongfang Wen didn't know what she thought afterwards, but she didn't ask Song Wanqing to keep in touch with Song Sanniang anymore.
She breathed a sigh of relief at this.
To be honest, Song Wanqing didn't want to meet Song Sanniang at all. When she thought of how proud she had been in front of Song Sanniang when she was able to marry Dongfang Wen, and the words she had said that belittled Prince Rui, she felt unwilling and guilty.
It was just as well that Song Sanniang didn't meet her.
After Dongfang Wen left Song Wanqing's courtyard, she went straight to the study.
He was standing behind the desk, with a man in black kneeling behind him.
"How's the matter I asked you to do going?"
"My Lord, our men have already ambushed the Third Prince on his way." "Alright, you go down first, and let me know when you have news."
"Yes, my lord."
As soon as the person left, the study became quiet, with only the sound of shallow breathing remaining.
"Host, this is not good, this is not good."
Song Sanniang was holding Xiaoyi and Xiaoer in her arms. The two children were older now and were a little noisy. She had just held Xiaoyi, but as soon as she put him down, the two brothers started quarreling. Song Sanniang had no choice but to hold both of them and coax them together.
"What's wrong? What's going on with Dongfang Wen?"
108 saw that Song Sanniang was not anxious at all, so he also calmed down, "That bad guy arranged an ambush on the road that the hero must take to go to Jiangnan."
Song Sanniang handed the child to the wet nurse and went to the study.
"Dongfang Rui had already guessed that the road ahead was not peaceful. After he and the team escorting the official silver left the capital, the team split into two."
"You know that the ambush set by Dongfang Wen's men was fake, so what did Dongfang Wen do?"
"That bad guy is secretly doing something big. I just monitored him secretly contacting the deputy commander of the Royal Guards and preparing to cause trouble." The system quickly explained.
Song Sanniang was very calm, "And then?"
"He was still trying to steal Dongfang Min's girl, but unfortunately he didn't succeed."
"No more?"
The system was confused, "No, no." Why is the host not nervous at all? Dongfang Wen looked like a prelude to rebellion.
Song Sanniang took a quick look at the system and knew what it was thinking. She explained it with some rare patience.
"Dongfang Wen is no longer like he was in the original plot. He smoothly took over Dongfang Rui's power in the court, and the emperor didn't favor him. Now he has no reliable ministers to advise him, and the generals don't support him."
"He's not as threatening as Dongfang Min right now. Besides, Emperor Xuan is still alive. He likes to be in control of the situation. How could he not have noticed Dongfang Min's actions before?"
"So don't worry too much, we have the biggest golden finger on our side."
108 After hearing this, he finally understood their golden finger - Emperor Xuan.
Not long after, news came that thieves had intercepted the official silver. However, because Dongfang Rui noticed it in advance and took precautions, no loss was suffered.
It’s a pity that no one was caught alive. Once the thieves were caught, they would immediately swallow the poison hidden in their mouths, so no one was left alive.
After that, the journey was peaceful and the silver was successfully delivered to Huang County.
Emperor Xuan adopted the Fourth Prince's proposal for early flood control in the south of the Yangtze River and allocated silver. That silver would then become the dike of Huang County. He sent Dongfang Jie and Dongfang Rui to escort the silver to supervise the work and to let them see the real living conditions of the people.
If things are done well, it will also be good for their reputation.
