The sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky. Mingyu and the others arrived at Lu's house early in the morning.
Mrs. Pei had already brought Su Xiaoxiao and the others to wait at the gate, and when she saw Mingyu getting off the carriage, she couldn't hide her excitement, "Mingyu, let grandma take a look."
"Grandmother." Mingyu smiled sweetly, and flung herself into Pei's arms coquettishly, "I miss you so much."
"Little villain, if you miss your grandmother, why did you come to see me now." Mrs. Pei wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Over the past few years, she had finally hoped that her daughter and grandson would come back, but they left the capital again before they got together properly. In the city, her granddaughter hasn't been out of the palace for more than half a year, and her hair is turning gray just thinking about it.
Mingyu said aggrievedly, "I also want to go out of the palace to visit you, but my father won't let me go out of the palace."
Pei knew that Mingyu met an assassin in the palace before, so the emperor kept her in the palace to protect Mingyu.
"Come in, grandma has prepared a lot of delicious food for you." Mrs. Pei held Mingyu's hand while greeting Mingxi, and a group of people walked into Lu's house.
Su Xiaoxiao brought his son Lu Xianglan over. Although he hadn't seen Mingyu for a long time, he recognized Mingyu at a glance and smiled shyly at Mingyu.
"Xiang Lan, do you want to go to the temple fair with us tomorrow? This year, there are trees and flowers to see." Mingyu asked Lu Xianglan.
"Why do you want to watch this? It's better to watch the fireworks at home." Pei Shi said, there are too many people watching the trees and flowers, and a few children will inevitably be bumped.
Mingyu said, "I'm tired of watching fireworks, I haven't seen what a tree flower looks like before."
"Grandma, don't worry, we will be careful. By the way, where is grandpa?" Ming Xi asked. Yesterday Lu Shiming entered the palace, and there was no news until night. I don't know what he said to Liu Shu.
Pei said, "He stayed in the study room yesterday, but now he should be in the study room. I'll send someone to call him."
"Grandma, I can go by myself." Mingxi said.
Mingyu, Mio'er and the others were eating snacks and chatting in the backyard, and after a while, they heard that there were guests coming.
Mrs. Pei was stunned, she knew that Mingyu and the others were coming today, so she didn't invite anyone to the house, could it be that there is something wrong with someone who doesn't know
"Which guest is it?" If they are friendly, they will be sent back.
"Madam, Madam Su is here." The servant girl replied softly.
Mrs. Pei looked at Su Xiaoxiao in surprise, and seeing Su Xiaoxiao's flustered expression, she knew that it was not accidental that Mrs. Su would come to Lu's house today.
"Madam Su, please come to the hall." Mrs. Pei said flatly, then turned to look at Mingxi and the others, "You guys are playing here, I'll entertain the guests."
"Okay." Mingyu nodded.
"Xiao Xiao, you can go with me. Mrs. Su is here at this time, maybe she has something urgent to ask you." Mrs. Pei said.
"Yes, mother." Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head and followed Pei to the hall.
In the hall, a middle-aged woman in dark purple clothes was looking eagerly. Seeing Pei Shi and Su Xiaoxiao approaching one after the other, she couldn't sit still and stood up, looking behind the two of them, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that I didn't see anyone else.
"Madam Su, I didn't know you were here. I didn't prepare at all, so I'm neglecting you." Mrs. Pei came over with a smile and greeted Madam Su.
"Others gave you two baskets of lychees, and I brought you a basket to give you a taste." Mrs. Su quickly hid the disappointment on her face, and said to Mrs. Pei with a smile.
Pei said with a smile, "That's so embarrassing, there are only lychees in the south, and it will take a lot of effort to send them to the capital city."
"No, that's why I brought it here while it was fresh." Mrs. Su stepped forward to hold Pei's hand, "You haven't attended our party for a few days, I'll come and see you."
"Xiaoxiao is pregnant, Xiangzhi is not at home, I am busy." Shi Pei smiled, and sat down in the lobby with Mrs. Su.
Mrs. Su glanced at her daughter with a smile. Her daughter's life was peaceful and beautiful, and as a mother, she also felt at ease.
"My mother-in-law has worked hard." Mrs. Su gave Pei a grateful look.
Pei said with a smile, "What are you talking about, Xiaoxiao is my daughter-in-law and my child."
When Su Xiaoxiao heard what Mrs. Pei said, her face flushed, and she whispered to Mrs. Su, "Mother..."
"I heard that the princess is also here, let Xiaoxiao take some lychees for the princess to taste." Mrs. Su said.
"Alright, Xiaoxiao, then go get some lychees and send them to Mingyu and Mioer." Mrs. Pei turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed, now she regretted letting Madam Su tell that Mingyu would come to Lu's house today, she never thought that her mother would come to the house today, "Okay, I'll go right away."
"Madam Lu..." Madam Su coughed lightly, "I took the liberty to come here today, but I actually have another matter."
Holding a teacup in his hand, Mrs. Pei asked with a smile, "Oh, what else can I do?"
"It's like this. Although I only gave birth to a daughter called Xiaoxiao, I actually have two daughters. As you know, Xiaoxiao's uncles and aunts died of illness one after another, leaving only one daughter behind. Such a small person, I was raised by my side since I was a child, how many years younger than Xiaoxiao, I raised her as my little daughter, and now she has entered the palace and become Jieyu. It has been so long, let alone seeing her, even her I don't know what's going on in the palace, I just want to get news about my niece from the princess." Mrs. Su said in a low voice.
So it is! When Pei understood, she sighed, "I understand your feelings, but I don't know how much Mingyu can know."
She understood Mrs. Su's feelings, she was also worried when Yaoyao entered the palace.
"As long as I can hear a few words, I'm already satisfied." Mrs. Su said hastily.
Mrs. Pei hesitated for a moment, thinking that Mrs. Su is still the mother-in-law, so it's really not good to refuse, "Then... I'll take you to meet the princess, Mingyu is a soft-hearted person, if she knows, she will definitely tell you of."
Madam Su's face was overjoyed, "That's great."
Mingyu and Mio'er are eating lychees, but Mio'er has never eaten it, so she finds it very novel and sweet.
"Let me tell you, lychee wine tastes better." Mingyu said with a smile, "I drank it secretly, but I kept it from my father."
Mio'er's eyes lit up, "Really? Where can I find lychee wine?"
"The imperial dining room in the palace has it, but it is the fat father-in-law's private possession. Next time I will take you to find him secretly." Mingyu said in a low voice.
"Mingyu!" Mrs. Pei walked over with a smile.
Mrs. Su stared at Mingyu directly. This is the princess who was regarded by the emperor as the jewel in his palm.
