"Then Princess Lanyang might use her power to overwhelm others..." Mingruo was only afraid that the two guys would be killed.
"If you really want to use your power to suppress others, even Duke Anguo's Palace cannot defeat the Prince's Palace." Shopkeeper Wu has been managing the Prince's Palace's business under Bai Shen. With the Prince's Palace as his backer, he is not afraid of something happening to Princess Lanyang.
"Just don't get hurt."
"Don't worry, Master, the guys I sent are very skilled and won't suffer any loss." Shopkeeper Wu said seriously.
Seeing that shopkeeper Wu looked confident, Mingruo didn't stop much.
Mingruo's life in Meiyuan is very regular. He makes medicine in the morning and goes to the operating room by the lake in the afternoon. He also looks at the peacocks and feeds the red-crowned cranes and deer. Yes, Si Haochen is getting better and better at raising wild animals in captivity.
Far away, not only cranes are raised in the plum forest, but also a group of sika deer are raised.
The twelfth lunar month is when the plum blossoms are in full bloom. Snow falls in the forest, covering the plum blossoms, and cranes and deer play among them. It is like a fairyland, making people forget to leave.
Ever since there was a fawn in the Meilin, Xiao Tuanzi would come to Meiyuan every day after school to report. While feeding the fawn, he complained: "I can't even raise a puppy. I not only raise fawns, but also cranes and peacocks...
…”
"This is my mansion. Naturally, I can raise whatever I want. When you have your own mansion in the future, you can raise not only puppies, but also wolves." Si Haochen said calmly.
"Chang..." Xiao Tuanzi didn't expect that he would complain and be heard by everyone involved. After looking around and seeing no one around, he called out softly, "Brother."
"Yeah." Si Haochen rubbed his head, "After the New Year, I'll ask Qin Mo to take you back to Jiangnan."
"Oh." Xiaotuanzi turned around and hugged Si Haochen's legs. He liked his life in Prince Yun's Mansion. There were his eldest brother and sister-in-law here, which made him feel like home. But he knew that he couldn't be with his eldest brother.
Because my mother once said that you can't put all your eggs in one basket, it would be too risky.
"Go back." Si Haochen led Xiaotuanzi back to the dormitory.
"Mother concubine." Xiaotuanzi ran to Mingruo's side.
"Come to feed the deer again?" In order to make the little dumpling happy, Mingruo specially asked Lithospermum to make coarse grain biscuits with some sugar added in them, which were very popular with the deer.
"Xuan'er came to see the mother-in-law and feed the deer by the way." Xiao Tuanzi said seriously.
"I'm really flattered. Then why didn't you come to see me when there was no deer?" Mingruo pinched Xiaotuanzi's cheek.
"..." Xiaotuanzi didn't have the excuse to be cute, so he lay pitifully on Mingruo's knees, "I'm going to Jiangnan after the Chinese New Year..."
"Ah..." Although Si Haochen's fiefdom is in the south of the Yangtze River, it would not be good to leave such a young child there. However, he is his biological child after all, and it is not easy for him to express his opinion, "Xuan'er wanted to have dinner
Whatever you want to eat, let Sister Zicao cook it for you."
"I want to eat honey fried chicken, sweet and sour pork tenderloin and seafood soup." Xiaotuanzi said with his fingers.
"Okay, let's do all of this." Mingruo agreed readily.
"Princess, Madam Jingguo has sent Nanny Ji to deliver something." Zi Su came in to announce.
"Invite her to the flower hall, I'll be there right away." Mingruo stood up and straightened her clothes.
"Xuan'er, go with your mother and concubine." Xiaotuanzi is very smart. If he stays with his elder brother, he will have to test his homework again.
Mingruo naturally knew how Si Haochen and Xiao Tuanzi got along, so she took Xiao Tuanzi to the flower hall.
Mother Ji saw the young lady bringing in a young master who was dressed in luxurious clothes. She quickly greeted him and said, "Princess Jin An, the Crown Princess, and the Prince Jin An."
Mingruo hurriedly stepped forward to help her: "Mommy, there's no need to be polite."
"The uncle brought Cordyceps sinensis back from the northwest. The old lady thought that you could use it for medicine, so she asked the old slave to bring it. There are also tangerines that the fourth young master brought back from southern Sichuan, which are very fresh." Mother Ji
Grandma smiled and patted the food box: "This is the crispy meatloaf made by my old slave. You can ask the kitchen to fry it, and it will be as good as freshly baked."
"Are my eldest aunt and cousins also back?" Ming Ruo remembered that her grandmother had said that her eldest uncle's family would come back to celebrate the New Year.
"Uncle, the eldest wife and the second young master are back. The second master took the second wife and the third young master to the border town to celebrate the New Year with the eldest young master." Mother Ji sighed, "Someone has to guard the border town, and the family always
They can’t be reunited.”
This topic was a bit heavy, so Mingruo had no choice but to ask something else: "It's cold, does my grandfather's leg hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt," said Nanny Ji, "I said yesterday that the little lady's plaster is really amazing."
"That's good." Seeing Xiao Tuanzi sitting upright like a grown-up, Mingruo took the orange, peeled it and handed it to him, "Eat the orange."
After eating a piece of the dumpling, his eyes lit up.
He broke off the orange pulp and held it up in front of Mingruo: "It's so sweet, even my concubine will eat it."
Mingruo lowered his head and ate the orange segment in Xiaotuanzi's hand: "It's very sweet."
"There is a kind of sweet orange in Ningzhou, which is also very delicious. Xuan'er asked his father... to bring it to his mother and concubine to taste. Father said that it is already on the way and will soon reach the imperial capital." Xiao Tuanzi
Decided to gain favor for my eldest brother.
"Has Xuan'er lived in Jiangnan before?" It seems that Xiaotuanzi is very familiar with Jiangnan.
"Yeah." Xiaotuanzi nodded.
"Princess, tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Officials and family members from all the palaces can enter the palace to pay their respects." Nanny Ji mentioned the most important thing about her visit today, "The old lady would like to invite the princess to come with her to pay her respects to the Concubine Xian.
"
Ming Ruo thought for a moment before remembering that of the two young ladies from the Duke's Palace, the eldest young lady was the original owner's mother, who was married to Emperor Nanrong, while the second young lady entered the Donghuan Palace.
Although Mingruo didn't want to enter the palace, the old lady specially invited her, so there must be something going on: "Okay, I'll accompany my grandmother to pay her respects."
"Early tomorrow morning, the old lady will come to pick up the princess."
"Okay." Mingruo nodded in agreement.
Zi Su sent Mother Ji away, and Ming Ruo lay on the table and put on the dog leash - Ming Ruo felt that every time he entered the palace, he had to compete in an escape room game. Even if he knew there was no danger, the atmosphere was still tense.
"What's wrong?" Si Haochen walked into the flower hall and sat down.
"The mother-in-law probably doesn't want to enter the palace to pay her respects." Xiaotuanzi sat in a chair and ate an orange.
"If you don't want to go, don't go." Si Haochen frowned slightly.
Mingruo took an orange and peeled it and said, "Grandma will not invite me to the palace for no reason."
"Take Aunt Dong with you."
"Hmm." Mingruo pointed to the tangerines on the table, "Eat the tangerines, they're very sweet."
"Okay." Si Haochen directly took the peeled piece from Mingruo's hand.
"..." Mingruo looked at his empty palms and had no choice but to pick up another orange and peel it.
Butler Zhou came in from outside and bowed before saying, "Eunuch Xia from the Dowager Palace is here."
