Qian Jiujiu listened to Qin Yu's words and couldn't help but said with some amusement: "Then you don't know, it's really my blessing that I have a sister like Xiaoman."
"You are so blessed. It's not because she is cute, but because of her cooking skills. I guarantee that you will never forget it after eating it once."
Mu Yezhe listened to Qian Jiujiu's impressive words and said, "Is it really that impressive? Then I'll trouble the county lady to prepare dinner for today."
Xiaoman's mouth twitched. Could it be that the Fourth Prince was also a foodie? Qian Jiujiu looked at Xiaoman and said, "Well, it depends on whether the county lady agrees or not."
Hearing Qian Jiujiu's words, Xiaoman couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, I'll take care of today's dinner. I'll go prepare it now."
Qin Yu was a little embarrassed: "Didn't you ask the county lady to come over to chat? Why do you have to prepare dinner right after you arrive? And it's still early now."
Hearing Qin Yu's words, Qian Jiujiu also laughed: "Yeah, there's still time to prepare later."
After saying this, Mu Yexiao came back with the two children. Seeing that everyone was in the pavilion, he walked over and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Qian Jiujiu smiled and said, "I'm talking about Xiaoman's cooking skills! Come on, my babies, come and give me a hug."
As he said this, he took Beibei from Qinglian's hands, held him in his arms and teased him for a while. A hint of envy flashed in Mu Yezhe's eyes, because Mu Yexiao was even younger than him!
It’s so great that we have two children now. Thinking of this, he glanced at Princess Qin Yu. Princess Qin Yu received Mu Yezhe’s gaze and her face immediately blushed.
It was strange that she could actually understand the envy in Mu Yezhe's eyes. In fact, she also wanted such a cute doll! The atmosphere among everyone was very good.
At this time, the housekeeper came and told Mu Yexiao: "Your Majesty, the Third Prince is here with Miss Liu Qian."
Qian Jiujiu frowned: "You mean Liu Qian, the lady from the general's mansion?"
The butler nodded, "Yes, princess."
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other, wondering what these two were doing at this time, but as brothers, of course they invited them in.
Mu Yexiao spoke directly: "Please ask them to come in."
Then she handed the child in her hands to Nanny Ping and Qinglian: "Take the young master back to rest. It's time for lunch now."
Xiao Man also stood up at this time: "It's still early, I'll make some snacks for afternoon tea."
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "Okay, please invite your master over as well."
Xiao Man responded and then left. Mu Yesheng and Liu Qian also came in at this time. Mu Yesheng smiled and said, "I didn't expect Sixth Brother's house to be so lively."
"Princess Qin Yu is here too, why can't I see the Second Prince Qin Zheng?"
Qin Yu smiled and said, "My brother has gone to the palace. I wonder if the Third Prince wants to talk to my second brother about something?"
Mu Yesheng shook his head: "Not really, I just know each other well, so I'm asking. By the way, what were you talking about just now? It looked like a lively scene."
This time, Qin Yu just smiled, glanced at Mu Yezhe, and said nothing. Everyone seemed to have not heard it, and no one answered Mu Yesheng's question.
A hint of unhappiness flashed in Liu Qian's eyes, because these people actually united to bully her cousin, which was simply outrageous, she looked at Princess Qin Yu.
"Princess Qin Yu, I'm Liu Qian, the third prince's cousin. I heard that Princess Qin Yu is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I wonder if I can meet her?"
Listening to Liu Qian's words, a strange smile flashed in Qin Yu's eyes: "Miss Liu, it seems that you have a very good relationship with the Third Prince."
When Mu Yesheng heard this, he was stunned. What did this mean? Was it because of Liu Qian that Princess Qin Yu didn't choose him
Mu Yezhe also spoke up: "Princess Qin Yu, you don't know this. Miss Liu Qian and my third brother grew up together as childhood sweethearts, so of course they have a good relationship."
"This kind of feeling cannot be replaced by anyone."
After hearing this, Liu Qian felt relieved, but she also felt that something was wrong. After all, Mu Yesheng wanted to win Princess Qin Yu's heart.
If that's the case, I'm afraid Princess Qin Yu won't even consider Mu Yesheng as an option. Thinking of this, Liu Qian decided to put the overall situation first.
Looking at Princess Qin Yu: "Yes, my cousin and I have a very good relationship, just like brother and sister..."
But before Liu Qian finished her words, she heard Mu Yezhe say, "Brother and sister? Did I remember it wrong? I remember Miss Liu Qian said that before."
"The person you are going to marry in this life is only my third brother. Could it be that Miss Liu Qian, you have fallen in love with someone else?"
Hearing this, Qian Jiujiu burst out laughing and looked at Liu Qian in surprise: "I didn't expect Miss Liu Qian to be so bold."
"Even her future husband has been decided long ago. But speaking of it, if Miss Liu Qian and Third Brother are together, they are much more compatible than Third Brother's first two sisters-in-law."
When Princess Qin Yu heard Qian Jiujiu mention the two previous imperial sisters-in-law, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Princess, do these three princes have two imperial consorts?"
"Then why are you still participating in the competition? Isn't it?"
The rest of the words were not spoken, but Qian Jiujiu understood the meaning: "Princess Qin Yu, don't worry, because my first two sisters-in-law have passed away."
Liu Qian was so angry that she almost died: "Please be careful with your words, Princess. What about the first two imperial sisters-in-law? One didn't even marry my cousin, and the other was just a concubine."
Qian Jiujiu curled the corner of his mouth and looked at Liu Qian: “Miss Liu Qian is deceiving herself like this, Qian Yuge’s matter can be regarded as entering the door of the Third Prince’s Mansion.”
"And the Emperor's sister Zheng Fu was chosen by our father as the consort of the Third Prince, and she was buried with the same ceremony as the Third Prince's consort. How can she not be counted? Don't you know that a monarch's words are not to be trifled with?"
Liu Qian was so speechless after hearing Qian Jiujiu's words that she could only snort and stopped looking at Qian Jiujiu. Mu Yesheng's face looked even uglier at this moment, turning ashen.
The entire pavilion suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere became awkward. It was under such circumstances that Xiaoman came over with afternoon tea.
It's July now, and the weather is hot, so of course the afternoon tea is made of cold noodles and shaved ice, one for each person. But looking at the extra Mu Yesheng and Liu Qian.
Xiaoman looked a little embarrassed and helpless: "When did the Third Prince and Miss Liu come? I didn't even make that much afternoon tea?"
Qian Jiujiu, however, looked nonchalant: "I guess Third Brother and Miss Liu have eaten a lot of food, so they don't care about this little thing."
"Is that right, Third Brother, Miss Liu?"
Mu Yesheng stood up at once: "Sorry for disturbing you today."
Mu Yesheng felt that he was simply asking for an insult, so after saying this, he turned around and left. When Liu Qian saw this, she immediately chased after him.
Looking at Mu Yesheng: "Cousin, wait for me."
The corner of Princess Qin Yu's mouth twitched. She would not want such a person even without Mu Yezhe. However, Qian Jiujiu's face did not look good, and she must be a little worried.
"I'm afraid it won't be peaceful tonight."
Princess Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "What do you mean, Princess?"
Qian Jiujiu looked at the fruit shaved ice in front of her and said, "Xiao Man, when did you make this? Why are you sharing it now?"
Xiaoman blinked twice and immediately brought the Qian Jiujiu forehead fruit shaved ice to herself: "I forgot, my sister is feeding."
"You can't eat this. My lovely Nannanbeibei might get diarrhea, so just eat it while watching from outside."
Qian Jiujiu's mouth twitched and she snorted. Then Xiaoman pushed a bowl of cold noodles in front of Qian Jiujiu: "Eat some cold noodles. I made it especially for you."
Seeing Xiaoman monopolizing two bowls of fruit shaved ice, Qian Jiujiu felt very unhappy, but for the sake of the child, she had to endure it. She turned around and answered Qin Yu's question.
"Mu Yesheng is not a decent person, so you should be more careful tonight."
Princess Qin Yu was not stupid. Qian Jiujiu had given such an obvious hint, how could she not understand? She nodded and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Princess."
Qian Jiujiu just smiled and started eating the cold noodles. Others also started eating, and their eyes lit up instantly.
It was really delicious. Mu Yezhe's eyes sparkled as he looked at Xiaoman: "If you weren't the princess's adopted sister, I would have wanted to take you back to my house to be a cook."
Gu Xiangning just snorted when he heard this, which made Mu Yezhe embarrassed: "I was just joking."
Xiaoman looked at Gu Xiangning with shining eyes. It felt so good to be protected by her master. Princess Qin Yu found it a little funny to see Mu Yezhe being frustrated.
The group of people stayed in Prince Xiao's Mansion until after dinner in the evening before leaving. When they left, Princess Qin Yu was picked up by Qin Zheng himself, and they were on their way back.
Princess Qin Yu struggled for a while, but decided to have a chat with Qin Zheng: "Second brother, I want to ask, when I came here, did my father tell me who I should choose as my husband?"
Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment. He also loved this sister. He sighed and said, "Father hoped that you could enter Xiaowang Mansion, but it seems that your choice is right."
"Marry Mu Yezhe. At least Mu Yezhe is a good man. And Mu Yexiao is also tolerant, so this choice is also the best for you."
"My second brother also supports you. I will tell Father the truth about your situation. Don't worry."
Princess Qin Yu frowned when she heard this, and then looked at Qin Zheng: "So, second brother agrees with my choice of Mu Yezhe?"
Qin Zheng nodded: "It's better to choose Mu Yezhe than Mu Yesheng. At least Mu Yexiao can tolerate Mu Yezhe."
