Chapter 263 All the Characters Arrive
Fu Zhaoning looked up and saw Xiao Lanyuan.
The curtains of the palace's carriage were drawn. She was wearing a mask and sitting in the carriage with a heater in her hands, looking as if she had been waiting for eternity.
But the carriage must have come suddenly, otherwise how could Chen Shan brake suddenly?
It must have come from the alley next door.
Fu Zhaoning looked at the silent Xiao Lanyuan and muttered to himself.
What is this for?
Didn't you find out something before and weren't ready to tell her, but instead came to find Shen Xuan?
"Are you going to see Master Shen?" Fu Zhaoning asked, and at the same time said to Chen Shan, "If they want to go over, let's make way."
All she could think of was that they were going to the Shen residence, and now they happened to run into each other.
Chen Shan responded, "Yes."
Just as he was about to leave, Qing Yi called out, "Princess, we are not going to the Chen residence, we are here to pick you up. Come back to the palace for dinner tonight. I have asked the chef to prepare it."
"ah?"
Fu Zhaoning was stunned. He opened his mouth but was unable to react for a moment.
What does Xiao Lanyuan want to do?
"Chen Shan, go back first and tell Old Master Fu." Qing Yi said to Chen Shan.
Chen Shan turned his head and looked at Fu Zhaoning. "Miss?"
If his young lady didn't get off the carriage and had no intention of going to the palace, how could he possibly go back first?
"I'm not going. I have to go back to have dinner with my grandfather in the evening." said Fu Zhaoning.
Qingyi immediately turned his head to look at Prince Jun.
What should I do, Your Majesty? You want to invite someone, but you remain silent. Why?
Xiao Lanyuan spoke after a long while, when Qing Yi felt embarrassed.
"Tell me about the Lin family."
Fu Zhaoning paused and got off the carriage. "Okay, I'll go and listen."
Qing Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Chen Shan, you go back first."
"Yes, miss."
Chen Shan watched her get on the carriage of Prince Jun's mansion, and then drove the carriage back to the Fu family. The young lady and Prince Jun actually looked very good, but it was a pity that I didn't know what would happen in the future.
When Hong Zhuo and Fen Xing saw Fu Zhaoning coming, they smiled as brightly as flowers.
"Princess, we have washed and dried several new sets of winter clothes these days. You said you don't like incense, so we didn't use it. They all smell dry and fresh."
"Winter clothes?" Fu Zhaoning was puzzled. "Where did you get new winter clothes?"
"Two sets were sent from the palace, and there are a few sets of casual clothes made by the embroiderers in the mansion. The prince wants to make new clothes, so of course he has to make some for the princess as well."
"No, this can't be what you mean, right? Then Xiao Lanyuan will have to..."
Before she could finish her words, she was pulled to the front of the closet by Hong Zhuofenxing. When the closet was opened, the first thing she saw was the dress she had worn when she entered the palace to attend the palace banquet.
"This flowing skirt."
Fu Zhaoning was a little surprised. Why did he take it back? Didn't Xiao Lanyuan prepare it for another girl?
"Princess, this skirt was actually altered according to your size. The prince later took it back and told him to put it here. Doesn't this mean that this skirt has been for you from the beginning to the end?" Hong Zhuo said.
She and Fen Xing both knew that this might be Fu Zhaoning's concern, so they had been waiting for her to come over and explain things to her.
"Is it for me?" Fu Zhaoning frowned, not quite daring to believe it.
"Princess, please don't be angry first," Fen Xing said in a low voice, "Weren't Bai Shuang and Jin Xue sent by the prince to do chores before? The prince didn't allow them to leave their one acre and three mu of land, and they could only stay in that small courtyard every day."
"Still keeping it? It's true that the master and servant have a deep affection for each other."
Fu Zhaoning snorted.
As for Jin Xue and Bai Shuang, if she were really the mistress of Prince Jun's Mansion, she would definitely not keep them.
But after all, she didn't count, and if Xiao Lanyuan insisted on keeping them, she had no choice.
"Bai Shuang and Jin Xue, it seems like the prince has some use for keeping them." Hong Zhuo guessed.
"Princess, let's not talk about that for now. What I mean is that I went there to get some things a few days ago and accidentally heard Bai Shuang and Jin Xue saying that when the prince was young, he seemed to have been saved by a little girl. A few years ago, the prince used that little girl to push a peach blossom. The prince said that he wanted to find that little girl and then let her become Princess Jun."
"Hmm?" Fu Zhaoning felt like he was listening to gossip.
"So, the size of the skirt was estimated by the prince based on the girl's figure. It is said that the girl was very thin, so the skirt was made according to that size, but some room was left for slight modifications. Originally, they thought that the skirt would be kept forever, and the girl might not be found anyway."
Fen Xing said to Fu Zhaoning, "Then they are angry because after the skirt was made, the prince would not let them touch it again, but now he suddenly took it out and modified it according to your size, so that you can wear the skirt."
Hong Zhuo was also quite excited. "Yes, yes, Bai Shuang said that in their hearts, that skirt is equivalent to the princess. Since the skirt was given to you to wear, doesn't it mean that the prince already regards you as his wife in his heart?"
Fu Zhaoning said nothing more.
She really didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't know what that bastard Xiao Lanyuan was thinking.
"Princess, would you like to try these new clothes?" Hong Zhuo asked.
"No more trying."
She rested for a while, and when dinner was served, the servant came to call her.
When he walked over, Xiao Lanyuan had taken off his mask and was sitting at the dining table, serving soup.
Fu Zhaoning walked over and sat down opposite him.
The table was full of delicious dishes. Her stomach started to growl as she smelled the aroma of the food.
Xiao Lanyuan raised his eyes to look at her and handed the bowl of soup to her.
"Have a bowl of soup first."
"Thanks."
Xiao Lanyuan paused and said, "You're so polite." Why was he so unhappy to hear this thank you from her?
"It's right. This is basic etiquette."
Fu Zhaoning replied, and he gritted his teeth in anger.
The two ate their meal without saying anything else.
Fu Zhaoning had a big appetite. While she was still eating happily, Xiao Lanyuan had already put down his bowl and chopsticks.
She glanced at him and said, "At times like this, I feel that you are quite pitiful. With such a delicious meal on the table, you only took a few bites."
Xiao Lanyuan only took a few bites each time, and he didn't look like he was enjoying his meal.
Of course Fu Zhaoning also knew that it was due to his physical condition. Thinking about how miserable he had been for so many years, he felt a little soft-hearted.
"The head of the Hu family has arrived in the capital." Xiao Lanyuan said.
"Huh? We're finally here? Where's the Qing family?"
The first token of Master Chi Chen is in her hands, and now all she’s missing are the ones from the Hu family and the Qing family.
"The Qing family should have arrived by now."
"should?"
"The Qing family just chose a new patriarch three months ago. It is said that the new patriarch is a teenager. It is very dangerous for such a young man to become the patriarch of the Qing family."
A teenager?
I don’t know why, but Fu Zhaoning suddenly thought of the boy who was sitting on the wall and was as handsome as the bright moon. He was the one she met some time ago.
"Do you know what he looks like?" she asked.
