I plan to go to Wen's house first to pick up Wen Shizhu.

When they arrived, they found a beautiful carriage parked in front of the Wen family's house, pulled by a beautiful big white horse.

As soon as their car stopped, Wen Shizhu appeared dressed beautifully.

"Ayu, look at my new car!"

Mr. Hu followed closely behind her, and seeing Zhuzhu happy, he looked very pleased with himself.

Wen Yu was somewhat helpless: Mr. Hu, don't you have anything to do during the New Year? You stick to me like this every day, and Mr. Wen doesn't chase you away? How could she know that this dog-skin plaster could not be driven away.

If he was forced to leave, at most he would hide, but he would stay by his side. Master Wen was so angry that he almost vomited blood...

Alas, he still shows his love for Zhuzhu everywhere... Wen Yu felt helpless but also a little happy. Under Zhuzhu's pull, she got into the new car with her.

The group arrived at the princess's house. As soon as they got off the car and before they entered the door, Wen Yu frowned and said to Zhang Moqing and Zhu Zhu, "If Wen Jiao wants to put on airs in front of me again today, don't blame me for not giving her face! Don't hold me back!"

Zhuzhu definitely nodded in agreement and even wanted to roll up her sleeves to help.

Zhang Moqing advised: "Don't you know her yet? She has always been like this. Sometimes she seems to have changed, but that's just going with the flow. That's what she's thinking at the root of it! If you argue with her, you'll only make yourself unhappy."

"Oh, Fourth Sister-in-law, you are so wise!" Wen Yu smiled.

"It's New Year's Day, just watch her performance! To be honest, the princess's mother! It will help her marriage, but it won't be what she wants! If she doesn't recognize it, there will be no good result."

"Humph! I also think that she will not have a good ending."

Sure enough, the steward took Wen Yu and the others in. They met Wen Jiao standing there smiling like a hostess. Seeing Wen Yu and the others, she said modestly, "Big sister, Sister Zhang, Miss Wen, you are here?! Please come in quickly!"

Wen Yu ignored her and walked in. When she entered the hall, she saw Wen Wan, smiling and graceful, socializing with guests. The Wen family had all arrived. Old Lady Wen and the princess were sitting in the main seats, talking to the people next to them. The old lady didn't stiffen her neck, but had a proper smile on her face and a soft voice. She was dressed in a low-key manner.

I have to say that this grandmother is really capable and does not act like a princess's mother-in-law.

Several people saluted and exchanged a few words with Old Lady Wen and the Princess. Qi Wu and Qi Yu went to the front to look for Duanmu. Mr. Hu gave Zhuzhu a word of advice, looked at her again, and then followed her. Wen Yu approached the Princess and her grandmother to ask about it. As expected, her father did not come today. But her grandmother brought her two younger brothers. After chatting for a while, the Princess pulled Wen Yu aside and asked in a low voice, "I heard that the Crown Prince is not feeling well?"

Wen Yu whispered, "I went to check on him the other day, and he's fine now!"

"Amitabha!" The princess knew that her son had been getting close to the crown prince recently, so she was concerned about these things. "However, there has been no movement in the East Palace this year. There was supposed to be a banquet today, but there is no news. There are rumors outside."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was indeed ill, so it's normal that the banquet is cancelled. Rumors will always exist, so let them spread whatever they want, but we won't tell anyone anyway."

"Yes. However, I heard that the gate of Prince Wu's mansion was wide open and many people went there." The princess said mysteriously.

Wen Yu nodded to show that she knew. Although Qi Wu had been with her these days, he had also received various messages. If it wasn't long, she would have to write a letter or something...

"Will General Duanmu leave after the New Year?"

"I'm afraid we'll have to stay for a few more days. In March, his uncle will come to Beijing. We'll decide on the next step after we meet up in Beijing!"

"That's not bad either, he can stay at home with you. But now you have someone to accompany you!" Wen Yu smiled.

The princess knew she was laughing at her, but she didn't care: "He is much calmer than before."

Wen Yu expressed doubt: He dared to hit someone at the emperor's birthday banquet, and he was still calm? How was he before! Suddenly, I don't know what happened in front of me, there were people shouting and drums. "What's wrong?"

"I wonder what they are playing! There will be a dance show later. Your uncle and I have just choreographed it. Have fun!"

Wen Jiao saw the two of them whispering to each other and came over, "Mother, look at this..."

Wen Yu turned around and walked away with an impatient look on her face. Just after she walked out a few steps, Guan pulled Wen Yu up and said, "Ayu, I heard that the princess has a good young man, his surname is Liu, and his name is Liu Qiming. I saw him when I came in just now! Oh, he is tall and very impressive. Ayu, can you help your fifth sister find out?"

Wen Yu nodded: "Aunt San, you know, I have a good impression of my fifth sister. I can definitely ask for you. But... to be honest, I can only ask. I just don't know if the Liu family will be picky about Uncle San..."

She didn't have a good impression of that third uncle. He was born out of wedlock, and he was always petty... He was a flatterer! Guan felt a little disappointed...

"Third Aunt?"

Guan forced a smile and said, "Aunt San understands. Alas, your grandfather promised a lot at the beginning, and the Guan family married me here. Although your uncle and I have always been with your grandfather. The housekeeper and the financial manager are treated the same as the legitimate son's wife. But I know that after all, they are not the same.

Besides, I have long seen through your uncle. So, I have spent a lot of effort to train your brothers and sisters. Your brothers are good at school. They are kind and talented. Their dowries are also ready. Your grandmother's requirements for her grandson's husband are not what your aunt cares about. She just wants to find someone who is ambitious and has good character. "

"I know, my two sisters, you have taken good care of them..."

The two of them turned to look at Wen Jiao... She was now following a gorgeously dressed woman, and that woman seemed to like her very much.

"I heard that she was a marquis' wife..."

Wen Yu knew who that person was, but she didn't respond. "As long as I ask, the princess will definitely not refuse. I'm afraid that the Liu family is a noble family, so they will just refuse without asking for the reason. So, don't tell Fifth Sister yet, lest she be affected emotionally and worry about the outcome."

"Aunt San understands! Please!"

After socializing for a while, someone finally invited everyone to go to the theater in the Princess's Mansion to watch dancing.

This was Wen Yu's first visit to this place. As soon as she entered the door, there was a row of waist-high screens blocking the way, one side for men and one side for women. Walking further in, there was a stage at the back with lights hanging above it, and there was a place for playing musical instruments and singing.

At this moment, the men's side was full, about 200 people, all young men in their teens or twenties, talking and laughing loudly, walking back and forth, it was really noisy.

Wen Yu saw the gold at a glance and ran around like a butterfly.

Passing by the princess, the princess complained: "These are all his friends! So noisy!"

Wen Yu stood beside her and told her what her third aunt meant.

The princess thought: "Your third aunt has good taste. Miss Wen Jing is very generous and good-looking. However, given your third uncle's status, I'm afraid the Liu family will be picky... Liu Qiming's aunt is here too. In a while, I..." She stopped because Wen Feng was waving at her in front.

"I'll ask her later!" After saying that, the princess hurried forward.

It was a feast of music and dancing, with constant cheers from the audience, and everyone was enlightened and excited.

Then everyone went to eat again. Wen Yu was still thinking about the Song family, so she said goodbye to the princess.

The princess whispered to Wen Yu, "Ayu, I just asked Madam Liu, she..." After that, she shook her head with a regretful expression.

Although Wen Yu felt regretful, she could understand it: families with high academic attainments tend to care more about the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children.

When watching the dance just now, Third Aunt's eyes never left Liu Qiming, and Wen Yu even knew him. He was indeed a stable and generous young man. She was afraid that Third Aunt would fall deeper and deeper in love with him, so she went to find her after receiving the news and told her the news.

Then, seeing the light in Guan's eyes dimmed...

In the car, Wen Yu said to Qi Wu with emotion: "For some people, their fate is determined when they are born. It really cannot be changed by your efforts!"

Qi Wu patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much. We are fine now."
