Chapter 6 The heroine's full-month banquet is seized

《 全家偷听我心声杀疯了,我负责吃奶 》

Listening to my thoughts made the whole family go crazy, now all I need to do is eat.


 


Chapter 6 The heroine's full-month banquet is seized


In a few days, March 6th will arrive.


It has been more than a month since Lu Chaochao was born. Her health is good, and she is able to eat and sleep well.


It appears that she is cute and silly at the same time. Everyone who sees her cannot resist hugging her.


In the early hours of the morning, the loyal and brave mansion was bustling with activity.


"It appears that Miss Chaochao is also aware that today is a good day for her. She is very happy in the morning." Yingxue loves to hug her. Her eyes sparkle every time she sees her.


[Grabbering the heroine's full-month banquet] Little Chaochao waved her fat paws and babbled happily.


A smile spread across Xu's face as she glanced at her.


This girl was probably young, and sometimes she could hear her inner voice, and sometimes she could not. In this case, Xu did not force the matter. There was still a long way to go.


Her ability to see half of the future proved to be of great benefit to her.


It was just that there was a knife hanging on her neck, which made her feel somewhat uneasy.


It is a very crowded day today, so please keep an eye on Chao Chao." Xu instructed.


Chao Chao has been attacked ever since she was born, so she has kept Yingxue and Juexia by her side, never leaving them.


"Yes, Madam."


Dengzhi announced outside the door, "Madam, there are guests in the front yard, the old lady wants you to go over.".


It is worth noting that, although the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion has a title to inherit, it depends entirely on the old marquis's merits in following the founding emperor.


Lus were originally peasant families, and even if they were granted a title in Beijing, they were incompatible with the aristocratic families.


A versatile and talented woman was married to the Lu family, and she raised their children. As a result, the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion gradually developed. Lu Yuanze knelt outside the Xu family for three days and three nights in order to acquire a virtuous wife.


Juexia curled her lips and felt extremely dissatisfied with the old lady. Miss Chaochao is already one month old and she has yet to see her.


Xu glanced at her sternly before saying, "Don't mention such things after you leave Tingfeng Garden.".


Juexia lowered her head in agreement.


It did not take Xu long to reach the front yard. The eldest princess was indeed among the guests present in the front yard.


The younger sister of Lu Yuanze, Lu Wanyi, was already attentively waiting in front of her.


Xu's eyes paused.


"Sister-in-law, you are finally out of confinement. Wanyi missed you terribly while you were in confinement, and she felt bad about it." Lu Wanyi returned to the old house in Qingxi about a month ago, and has just returned to the capital.


Taking her arm intimately, Lu Wanyi came forward.


"There is a strong friendship between you two, sister-in-law." The eldest princess and Xu have known each other for many years and are close friends in the boudoir.


My eldest sister-in-law came into the family when I was two years old. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is like a mother to me. I am naturally close to my sister-in-law." Lu Wanyi's expression was full of admiration.


A feeling of relief washed over Xu.


Wanyi remained true to her at least.


Lu Wanyi was the daughter of the old lady. When Lu Wanyi joined the family, she was just two years old. Almost all of her upbringing was provided by her.


Throughout the years, she spent a great deal of time and effort trying to teach her.


"Why hasn't my eldest brother returned yet? Today is my niece's full moon banquet. I won't forgive him if he misses it." Lu Wanyi curled her lips slightly.


A smile spread across Xu's face, but no words were spoken.


A small group of guests were brought into the house; she went to greet the old woman in the hall.


The old lady was from the countryside. Although she had lived in Beijing for several decades, her demeanor was not comparable to that of the ladies who had been influenced since birth.


"Mother." Xu took a deep breath, lowered her eyebrows slightly, and kneeled down in front of the hall.


A dark long coat was worn by the old lady, who sat in front of the hall.


"Please assist your sister-in-law as soon as possible. My body is not doing well. I did not dare to visit you during your confinement out of fear that I would pass on my illness."


Taking her hand, the old lady affectionately pulled her.


Dengzhi kneeled down at the old lady's prompting as she asked: "Why have you lost so much weight? Is it because the servants have not been able to give you wholehearted service?" The old lady glanced at Dengzhi.


After withdrawing her hand without leaving a trace, Xu said: "Mother, don't scare these girls. They are doing their best." Why could she sleep well and eat well while her husband was watching the concubine give birth outside?


It was widely recognized that Xu had married the right family, and she was treated as their own daughter by the Marquis of Zhongyong.


The princess frowned and asked, "It is almost the auspicious time. We cannot miss the court, why hasn't the Marquis returned yet?".


"When I return to the palace, I need to speak to my brother. Please do not delay today's auspicious time for the court.", said the eldest Princess.


There was a jump in the old lady's eyebrows.


Her gaze was drawn to the nanny standing beside her.


She disappeared without a trace.


It was not long before she saw the Marquis hurrying back to the mansion. On such a cold day, his forehead was covered in fine, dense cold sweat.


Although Xu smiled at the corners of her lips, her smile did not reach her eyes.


His attention was occupied by the concubine's full moon banquet.


I apologize for keeping you waiting for so long. My daughter is one month old, so I requested someone look for the Nanyang Night Pearl. That is why we were delayed." Lu Yuanze apologized to Xu.


"Is it the Night Pearl of Nanyang?"


"I am glad to see this."


"My brother gave it to the prince two years ago as a nightlight." The princess could not help but admire it.


A bow was exchanged between Lu Yuanze and the princess: "It is not as good as your majesty's."


As Nanyang is thousands of kilometers away from the capital, it can only be harvested in the deep sea, making it an extremely valuable pearl.


Xu waved her hand and said, "Hurry up and bring the little lady out.".


Resentment towards Lu Yuanze was also reduced.


A short time later, Yingxue emerged holding Xiao Chaochao.


When the princess saw Yingxue holding the baby, she couldn't help but take it from her.


Before handing it over, Yingxue glanced at the lady and noticed that she nodded.


"Oh, this one is the best of them all." Her skin is white, her hair is black, she is white and tender, and her eyes are rolling as she speaks.


When the eldest princess saw her, she was delighted.


After being childless for many years, she now cherishes Lu Chaochao deeply.


She has found the daughter of her dreams.


"Hey, do you like the night-shining pearl Daddy found for you?" Lu Yuanze smiled as he handed the pearl to her, and she barely caught it with both hands.


The night-shining pearl captivated Lu Chaochao's attention.


[This is a night-shining pearl!]


[He gave Lu Jingyao a headpiece made of twelve night-shining pearls, while giving me a scrap?]


[Humph, I’m not interested in what others are not interested in]


Xu's smile slowly dwindled when she heard this.


It was as if the hope that rose in her heart had gone out once again.


Does her daughter only deserve things that others do not want? !


There was a sharp pain in her heart, and even breathing caused her to feel as if she had been pricked by a needle.


Xu was extremely angry.


In a playful manner, little Chaochao grinned at the princess and threw the ball with both hands...


The sound of "Dong..." can be heard.


A night-shining pearl fell to the ground.


As if he had been slapped, Lu Yuanze's face turned blue and white.


For a moment, everyone was stunned, and the princess smiled and said, "Lord Lu, please be more careful. Chaochao is not happy with this."


As she reluctantly returned Lu Chaochao, her eyes were still glued to the child, and she was unwilling to leave. "I like Chaochao very much. If I have time, I will bring Chaochao to live with the princess for a few days."


In her opinion, she gave Xu enough face time.


When the weather starts to warm up, I will come to your house." Xu smiled and agreed.


She heard the doorman reporting as she was talking.


"The prince has arrived."
