——
As winter passed and spring came, the snow on the eaves slowly melted and the weather gradually warmed up. Because it was warm outside, Wen Mianmian and Tiantian came for a walk in the garden.
The two of them came to the pavilion in the garden and sat down.
"Mother, do you think my elder sister will be sent to marry a foreign prince?" Tiantian had been wondering about this for a long time, but she only asked it today.
Although her relationship with her elder sister was no longer the same as before because of that incident and her elder sister had become much more distant from her, Tiantian still didn't want her elder sister to be sent to such a faraway place to marry.
She also knew that it was basically impossible to come back after being sent away for marriage.
I heard that the conditions there are not very good. My eldest sister has been raised in pampered conditions since she was a child. If she were to go there to marry a foreign prince, she would definitely not be able to adapt and might die in a few years.
It’s no wonder she thought that place was so scary, because it was indeed so.
Many princesses were sent to marry foreign princes, but they basically found it difficult to adapt to the environment there and died within a few years.
"Why do you ask that? I haven't heard that the eldest princess is going to marry a foreign prince." Wen Mianmian was puzzled.
Could it be that Tiantian heard some rumors?
But how come she had never heard of it here, and the Fourth Master had never told her about it.
"I just heard from the servants around me that my elder sister has reached the age of marriage and there is a high possibility that the emperor will send her to marry."
"Don't listen to their nonsense. It's not true. Besides, your father and your mother will decide the eldest princess's marriage. Don't worry about it."
"Then mother, do you think my elder sister will be sent to marry a foreign prince?"
After all, she and her elder sister had a good relationship in the past. Although their relationship is not as good as before, Tiantian still hopes that her elder sister can marry to the capital.
Wen Mianmian reached out and held Tiantian's hand. "I don't know about this, but Tiantian, everyone has their own destination. But you have to believe in your father. Your father will definitely find your own destination for you."
Tiantian looked at her mother and said, "Mother, I understand."
"Now that you know, then relax. Besides, even if the eldest princess wants to get married in the future, it will take a few years. You just need to live your life well and don't worry too much about other things."
A sweet treat.
Here, Niuhulu Tianxin also came to visit the garden and saw the concubine and the second lady in the pavilion from a distance.
"Isn't that the concubine and the second princess?" Chuntian also noticed the two people in the pavilion.
"Well, let's go over and take a look, and pay our respects to Concubine Jin."
"Yes~"
The two walked towards the pavilion.
"Greetings to the Concubine, and Greetings to the Second Lady." Niu Hulu Tianxin's voice sounded in Wen Mianmian's ears.
Wen Mianmian had noticed her just now, so she was not surprised that she came over to ask.
"Get up, Princess Niuhulu is here to enjoy the flowers too, right? Sit down and talk."
"Thank you, Concubine." She sat down on the nearest stone bench, right next to Tiantian.
"I heard the plum blossoms here are in full bloom, so I wanted to come and see them. What a coincidence, I ran into Concubine and Second Princess here."
Tiantian didn't really like this Niuhulu. She couldn't explain why, but she just didn't like her. Besides, she still remembered that she had lied to her before.
So he ignored her and sat aside, playing with his handkerchief.
"The plum blossoms here are indeed blooming beautifully. It's rare that Princess Niuhulu also likes plum blossoms." The red plum blossoms here bloom particularly well, and Wen Mianmian likes them very much too.
"My favorite thing in the past was plum blossoms. Just looking at them would make me feel much better."
Tiantian couldn't sit still any longer, so she stood up and said, "Mother, I'm going to take a look at the front."
Then, without waiting for Wen Mianmian to say anything, Tiantian went to the front.
Wen Mianmian looked at her back as she walked away, a trace of helplessness on her face, and said to Niu Hulu Tianxin: "I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Niu Hulu Tianxin shook his head, "Children, it's good to have some personality."
Wen Mianmian, Niu Hulu and Tian Xin sat here for a while. When they heard Tiantian calling them over, Wen Mianmian had to stand up, say something to Niu Hulu and Tian Xin, and leave.
Wen Mianmian walked to Tiantian and saw Tiantian looking at her excitedly.
"You are so clever." Wen Mianmian raised his hand and poked her forehead with amusement.
Tiantian took a step forward and took her mother's arm, pouting as she walked, "I did that for mother, otherwise mother would probably still be chatting with that Nianhulu Gege right now."
"You don't like Princess Niuhulu." Wen Mianmian could tell from Tiantian's attitude towards Niuhulu Tianxin just now.
You know, Tiantian was never like this before.
"I don't like it. It's her fault for lying to me before." She still holds grudges about some things, and she is Ama's woman, so she doesn't like it.
"What did she lie to you about?" Wen Mianmian was a little surprised. Could there be something she didn't know?
"Last year, when I was going to look for my mother, he lied to me and said she wasn't in good health. If that wasn't a lie, what was it?"
Wen Mianmian didn't expect that Tiantian still remembered this.
"And I just don't like her, and I can't explain why."
"If you don't like it, then just say hello when you see me next time. You are a princess after all, so you still have to do these superficial things well, otherwise people will say that your mother didn't teach you well."
Wen Mianmian felt that Tiantian's personality needed to be changed. Even if she didn't like someone, she couldn't show it too obviously, otherwise she would easily suffer in the future.
Tiantian stuck out her tongue and said, "I know."
——
The Fourth Master came back in the evening. This time he did not go to Wen Mianmian's Zizhu Courtyard, but went to Fu Jin's main courtyard.
The wife was just about to have dinner when she suddenly heard a servant outside say that the master was coming.
Fu Jin was surprised for a moment, but without thinking too much, she stood up and went out to greet him.
The Fourth Master just happened to walk in at this moment, and Fu Jin hurriedly bowed to greet him.
"Greetings to the master."
"Get up."
Fu Jin stood up and looked at the Fourth Master, not knowing why her master suddenly came to her.
You know, the master hasn't been to her yard for a long time.
"Master, have you had your meal yet? Would you like to have it with me?" Fu Jin asked tentatively.
The Fourth Master glanced at the uneaten food on the table, thinking that it was just time to finish the meal, and nodded.
The two of them came to the table and sat down together.
Nanny Li hurried out and brought in a new set of bowls and chopsticks and placed them in front of the master.
Nanny Chang went to fetch water for the master to wash his hands.
"I don't know if the master will come today, and I don't know if these dishes will suit the master's taste. If the master doesn't like these dishes, I will order someone to prepare some dishes that the master likes."
If she had known that her master was coming, she would have ordered people to make good preparations.
