When Mu Yexiao heard Qian Jiujiu's words, his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Jiuer, is this really possible?"
Qian Jiujiu looked at Mu Yexiao's shining eyes, and thought that Mu Yexiao had been enduring for a while, and it was really difficult. She couldn't help but nodded and looked at Mu Yexiao.
Although she blushed, she still said boldly: "Okay, just don't do it too much, and just pay attention to your stomach."
Mu Yexiao naturally nodded and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Don't worry, Jiuer, I will be gentle."
Early the next morning, the housekeeper came with those skilled craftsmen, but when they arrived at the gate of the princess's courtyard, Qian Jiujiu was sleeping soundly and thinking deeply!
The housekeeper looked at Hongling: "Hongling, is the princess awake?"
Hong Ling shook her head: "No! The prince has ordered that we are not allowed to wake up the princess. We must wait for her to wake up on her own. Do you have something to say?"
The housekeeper looked at Hongling with an embarrassed expression: "But all these masters are here, and we need the princess to give us instructions."
As they were talking, Xiaoman had already come into the yard, followed by Chen Da. Xiaoman and Qian Jiujiu had discussed something last night, and told Chen Da about it after returning.
Chen Da also knew that he would be very busy in the next period of time, helping Qian Jiujiu build a hot spring villa, while Hong Yue would be recuperating in the palace.
After Hongyue's injury healed, he married her. The two of them came to the yard and looked at Hongling: "Hongling, is the princess awake yet?"
Hong Ling looked at it and wanted to shake her head: "Not yet, this servant is worried, and I don't know when the princess will wake up. All these skilled craftsmen are here."
Xiaoman glanced at the masters and the housekeeper over there, and walked over directly: "Housekeeper, my sister told me yesterday that I would take these masters to the mountain for a field trip today."
"The prince has handed this matter over to daddy. With daddy leading the way, don't go and wake up my sister. My daddy can take these masters with him."
The housekeeper also knew who Xiaoman was in front of him: "Since Miss Xiaoman said so, I will trouble Miss Xiaoman and Mr. Chen."
It was the first time that Chen Da was called Mr. Chen, and he felt a little embarrassed: "Look at what you said, housekeeper, why do you call me Mr.? I'm a rough man, if you don't mind, just call me Brother Chen."
The corners of the housekeeper's mouth twitched twice. He couldn't become related to Chen Da. Hongling also knew that the princess and the prince talked to Xiaoman for a long time yesterday.
I guess this is what he was talking about. Seeing the housekeeper handing the matter directly to Chen Da, she did not stop him. The yard, which was bustling just now, suddenly became quiet.
Here, Chen Da and Xiaoman had already taken the masters up the mountain, but Qian Jiujiu slept until almost noon. When Mu Yexiao came back, he stretched lazily.
She lazily opened her eyes and saw Mu Yexiao sitting beside the table, looking at her with a smile: "Awake? You can sleep, you little lazy pig."
Qian Jiujiu blinked shyly: "What time is it now? Have you returned from the morning court?"
Mu Yexiao laughed even more: "It's almost noon now, are you hungry?"
Hearing what Mu Yexiao said, Qian Jiujiu was secretly surprised that she could sleep so well. Just then, her stomach made a gurgling sound, and Qian Jiujiu touched her stomach.
"Mu Yexiao, I'm hungry."
Looking at Qian Jiujiu's cute appearance, Mu Yexiao tapped Qian Jiujiu's nose with amusement: "Got it, Hongling, serve lunch."
As he spoke, he actually started to help Qian Jiujiu put on her clothes himself. Qian Jiujiu didn't think there was anything wrong and took it as a matter of course to let Mu Yexiao help her put on her clothes.
After a quick wash, Qian Jiujiu had lunch with Mu Yexiao. Qian Jiujiu did not forget to look at Hong Ling: "Hong Ling, did anything happen today?"
Hongling told Qian Jiujiu about Xiaoman and Chen Da, and said that the group of masters had already gone up the mountain, so Qian Jiujiu no longer paid attention to this matter.
Instead, she accompanied Mu Yexiao to have a good meal. Qian Jiujiu seemed to have arranged everything for the next moment. Nothing happened, and in the blink of an eye, the day for the family recognition party arrived.
This doesn't require any ceremony, all you need to do is introduce Xiaoman on this day. Hongling is very busy that day, and she has to prevent anyone from getting close to Qian Jiujiu.
After all, Qian Jiujiu's belly is almost five months old now, and it has obviously grown bigger. She cannot let anyone touch her, so the invitations were sent out a week ago.
Today, they invited people under the pretext of flower viewing. Sure enough, ladies and young ladies had already arrived since the morning, and Qian Jiujiu was wearing loose clothes.
Sitting in the pavilion waiting for people to come. After all, the weather was still a bit cold, so it was impossible to entertain guests in the yard. Therefore, Qian Jiujiu chose the pavilion as the place.
Fortunately, the pavilion built by Mu Yexiao is big enough, and there is Gray Wolf. He uses transparent gauze to block the wind, but you can still see the scenery outside, and this transparent gauze makes the scenery even more unique.
The scenery here can be seen as soon as you come in from the door. Qian Jiujiu has arranged a round table this time, with a pot of flowers, some cakes, tea, etc. on it.
It seems that almost everyone has arrived. Xiaoman is dressed very beautifully today, in a pink dress. She looks like a girl who walked out of a New Year picture.
It was so cute and delicate that people couldn't help but feel happy. Qian Jiujiu brought Xiaoman with her because everyone was paying attention to Xiaoman today.
Today, no one discovered that Qian Jiujiu was pregnant, but a few people still noticed that after a winter, Qian Jiujiu had gained a lot of weight.
Just ignore this question. It is not easy to ask someone you are not familiar with. You can only look at Qian Jiujiu and laugh dryly. After everyone sat down, Qian Jiujiu was holding a wine glass.
"It's just an ordinary tea party. Let's sit together and chat and relax. By the way, I'd like to introduce you to my adopted sister Chen Man'er."
Xiaoman looked at everyone with a smile. She looked cheerful to begin with, and this smile made her even more likable. It was obvious at first glance that Xiaoman was a very blessed person.
The ladies looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Congratulations, Princess, for having such an outstanding sister."
That's what they said, but no one knew what these people were thinking in their hearts. However, Qian Jiujiu was still there, looking at Xiaoman with a smile.
Some young ladies were even jealous in their hearts. They thought that Chen Man'er came from nowhere and must be too lucky. One young lady was curious and asked directly.
"Why haven't I heard of this Chen Man'er before? Who is she from?"
One of the young ladies obviously knew the inside story. After all, the fact that Xiaoman was abducted by human traffickers was known to some well-informed families. At that time, the person being talked about was the princess's adopted sister.
Of course, with the sudden appearance of a new sister, everyone who knew the news couldn't help but investigate, so many people at the banquet knew Chen Man'er's identity.
"What kind of lady? She's just a hunter's daughter."
"ah… "
The lady who had just spoken exclaimed, then shut up embarrassedly. She glanced at Qian Jiujiu and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that Qian Jiujiu was not paying attention to this side.
"Are you serious? How can the princess accept a peasant girl as her adopted sister? Isn't she afraid of being embarrassed?"
The lady who had just exposed Xiaoman's identity said it again, and sneered: "What is there to be ashamed of? Don't forget that she herself was born a peasant girl."
"Although she is the daughter of a minister, she is only a concubine's daughter, and she was raised on a farm."
After hearing this, everyone remembered that Qian Jiujiu's background was unknown. It was all because of what Qian Jiujiu had done recently that they almost forgot about her background.
The two people were talking in a loud voice, so naturally everyone around them could hear it. Everyone was quite interested and didn't know how to respond. Fortunately, this was the time.
The housekeeper outside suddenly came to tell Qian Jiujiu a piece of news: "Princess, the wife of Duke Zheng is here with Miss Zheng."
Qian Jiujiu was stunned for a moment. What was going on? She had not sent an invitation to the Duke of Zheng's Mansion, because Zheng Fu was going to marry the third prince, so naturally they would be enemies in the future.
Qian Jiujiu didn't have the heart to greet the enemy, so she simply didn't invite them this time. But she didn't expect that this mother and daughter were so shameless.
She actually came by herself, but since everyone was here, it was not easy to chase them away in front of so many people, so I could only hum and say, "Please let them in."
The wife of Duke Zheng and her daughter walked in. The wife of Duke Zheng watched Qian Jiujiu being cured but she looked at Qian Jiujiu with a forced smile on her face.
"Oh, Princess, the mansion is so lively today. Fortunately, I am here today. Otherwise, wouldn't I have missed such a grand event?"
Qian Jiujiu just smiled perfunctorily and looked at the wife of Duke Zheng: "Madam, thank you very much. This is just a tea party, not a grand event."
Seeing that Duke Zheng and his daughter had found a seat and sat down, Qian Jiujiu's mouth twitched, and then she heard the words of Lady Zheng.
"It's also good to have a tea party, Fu'er, sit down, let's go in and have some fun with the other ladies and chat."
When Qian Jiujiu heard this, she simply ignored the mother and daughter. She thought that the annoying couple would be gone, but who would have thought that the housekeeper would come to report again.
"Princess, Madam Qian, Miss Qian Yuge is here."
Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but frown. Did these people want to ruin her party today? It was a pity that she couldn't just coax these people away: "Let them in."
