"What are you thinking about? Let's go and chase Shu'er." Seeing Song Yanran lost in deep thought, Liu Ruyan walked forward and took her arm to chase Murong Shu. The two of them had already kept some distance from Murong Shu because they had been whispering to each other just now.
"Nothing, I...I was thinking how beautiful the Rong family's garden is." Song Yanran was afraid that Liu Ruyan would make wild guesses, so she made up an excuse.
"I've heard that the Rong family's garden is exquisite, and today I see that it is indeed true." Liu Ruyan also likes the layout of the garden very much.
"I heard from Shu'er that there are delicious dishes and cakes today, some of which are not even available in the capital." Song Yanran also has a special liking for food, and she had heard about it from Murong Shu before.
"You're not here for the delicious food, are you?" It's no wonder that Liu Ruyan thought so about Song Yanran, but they have been friends for many years and know each other very well.
"No, I came here just because I was afraid that you and Shu'er would be bored." Song Yanran would never admit that she came here for the food.
"Then let's go after Shu'er. You see, Shu'er has been occupied by Yu'er." Liu Ruyan pointed at Wen Yu who was pestering Murong Shu in front.
"As expected of uncle and nephew, their eyes are so similar." Song Yanran felt a sore tooth when she thought of how Wen Jing's eyes always seemed to stick to Murong Shu.
"Maybe in the future when you find someone you like, you'll be even more excessive than the Third Young Master Wen." Liu Ruyan teased Song Yanran.
"No, I don't want to be like you and my cousin. Every time I see you, I can't wait to stick to you." Song Yanran thought of her cousin Mu Sishu again.
"Then I have to wait and see if our Miss Song will be like this in the future." Song Yanran blushed when she was teased.
Song Yanran felt embarrassed and quickly chased after Murong Shu, leaving Liu Ruyan laughing behind.
Mousse arrived just as the banquet was about to begin, and with him came Minister Liu and Lord Song, General Mu and Mu Sishu, and even Wen Ye came to join in the fun.
Prince Zhenshan had already learned from the Emperor that it was Murong Shu who used Rong family's ginseng to save the Empress and the little prince, and he followed General Mu here after the court session.
Master Rong and Rong Yunnan have gone from being shocked at first to being numb now. All these big shots who usually have nothing to do with their Rong family have come, making the Rong family completely solidify its title as the number one merchant in the royal family.
In short, the banquet was very successful, and Mr. Rong was even more grateful to the Mu family and his son-in-law. He knew clearly that the Mu family had made a great contribution to this.
After the banquet, Master Rong sent people to deliver several carts of gifts to Murong Shu and the Mu family.
Murong Shu and a few others made an appointment to go to the outskirts of Beijing to pick fruits in a few days. The fun of autumn is to enjoy the joy of harvest.
It was only when Murong Shu met Prince Zhenshan today that he remembered that the princess was due for a follow-up visit, so before parting, he asked Prince Zhenshan to tell the princess that he would go to the palace for a follow-up visit tomorrow morning, and Prince Zhenshan readily agreed.
Prince Zhenshan informed his princess consort during dinner. When Jun Mingyue heard that Murong Shu would come to the palace tomorrow, she hurried back to her own courtyard after dinner.
King Zhenshan watched his daughter walk away in a hurry, and asked the princess curiously, "What happened to Mingyue today? Didn't she always want to play in our yard for a while?"
Princess Zhenshan knew her daughter's lively personality and guessed it a little. She said to the King of Zhenshan, "Why don't you go to Mingyue Courtyard and take a look later, my husband?"
King Zhenshan was stunned when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he said with a smile, "I will go and check it out in a while. Ran'er, you should have a good rest. I will come back and tell you when I have found out the truth."
Ning Ran smiled and nodded when she heard this. Her husband and daughter's curious nature could not be changed. If King Zhenshan was not allowed to go and take a look, he might not be able to sleep all night thinking about this matter.
When Prince Zhenshan arrived at Princess Mingyue's courtyard, Jun Mingyue was frantically directing the servants to pack up. When she learned from her father that Murong Shu was coming, she hurried back to pack up.
"Mingyue, what are you doing?" King Zhenshan was really puzzled as to what his precious daughter was doing so late at night.
"Father, why are you here instead of accompanying mother? I am busy now and have no time to entertain you. Please go back quickly."
Jun Mingyue was afraid that her father would delay her from tidying up the yard, so she wanted him to go back to accompany her mother. Normally, the two of them competed for favor in front of the princess. Today, she gave her mother to him, but he didn't cherish it. Such a good opportunity might not come tomorrow.
"Father saw you coming back in a hurry, so he came to check on you. What are you doing? You don't like these anymore. Father remembers that you just changed them a while ago."
King Zhenshan looked at the things being moved out of and carried into his daughter's room in the yard and asked in confusion.
"No, my daughter just wants to change her style. Shu'er will be so tired to come and diagnose mother's pulse tomorrow, so of course I have to take her to my yard to rest. Shu'er must not like these, so I will change to something that Shu'er likes."
Jun Mingyue said it as a matter of course. King Zhenshan's mouth twitched when he heard it. He should not have come. If his own daughter likes it, then he can do whatever she wants. King Zhenshan came out of curiosity and left helplessly.
Jun Mingyue and the maids worked until very late before going to bed. Although they stayed up all night, they were finally satisfied with the work. The consequence of staying up late was that they woke up late the next day.
The next morning, Jun Mingyue's maid saw that her princess was sleeping soundly and couldn't bear to wake her up. So Jun Mingyue got up in a hurry only after Murong Shu arrived at the palace.
"Vanilla, why didn't you wake me up earlier? It's terrible. Shu'er is here and I didn't go to greet her. I don't know if Shu'er will be angry."
Jun Mingyue was talking to herself while getting dressed. The little maid named Xiangcao didn't dare to say anything. She was only concerned about the princess and had no idea that the princess had guests coming.
“Don’t worry, Princess. The princess has already sent someone to invite Miss Mu to her courtyard. Miss Mu is currently taking the princess’ pulse. It would be a good time for you to finish packing and go over. It won’t disturb Miss Mu from taking the princess’ pulse.” Seeing that her princess was anxious, the nanny began to comfort Jun Mingyue.
"That's good, but we have to hurry, otherwise it will be bad if Shu'er leaves after the consultation." Jun Mingyue urged the maid who was doing her makeup.
"Princess, please wait a moment. It will be ready soon." After the maid Vanilla said this, her hands moved faster.
By the time Jun Mingyue had packed up and brought people to her mother's courtyard, Murong Shu had already finished taking Princess Ningran's pulse.
"Mother, Shu'er, I'm here. Are you done with your work?"
Jun Mingyue's cheerful and anxious voice came in before she even arrived. Wherever she went, there were greetings, "How is the princess?"
After Jun Mingyue entered the room, she found Murong Shu still breathing a sigh of relief, fortunately it was not too late.
"Shu'er, I'm sorry, I'm late." Jun Mingyue walked straight to Murong Shu, took her hand and apologized.
"It's not late at all. You've come just in time." Murong Shu winked at Jun Mingyue playfully.
"I'm just afraid that Shu'er will leave and not wait for me!"
"Let's see if you dare to stay up so late in the future." The princess reached out and touched her daughter's forehead.
"I don't dare anymore. I don't dare anymore. If everything is fine here, mother, I will take Shu'er to my yard." Jun Mingyue said that he didn't dare anymore while snatching the person from his mother.
"Go ahead, take Shu'er for a walk."
"Shu'er, let's go."
"Aunt Ning, the princess and I will go first."
"Good boy, go ahead."
