Suddenly her mouth was covered. Wan Ning stared in surprise and subconsciously shook off his hand, challenging him unhappily: "Okay, okay, I still won't call that old man a dead old man."

This caused Mu Xiu to shake his head helplessly. After succeeding, Wan Ning decided to stop while she was ahead and returned to the main topic: "Okay, okay, now let's just talk about Lan Fei. Speaking of Lan Fei, I have an idea."

"Princess, what do you think? Please tell me."

"Although the theme of our banquet is to commemorate Concubine Lan, she only held this position for less than a year, so it may not be a happy thing for her. As for others, I'm afraid no one here will really miss an almost forgotten concubine of the previous emperor."

"So what do you mean?" Mu Xiu asked.

"I want to focus the theme and emphasis on the period before she entered the palace, and restore the life of Pei Lan before she entered the palace. At least she was still alive at that time. What do you think about us keeping the time when she was happiest?" After expressing her thoughts, Wan Ning finally set her sights on Mu Xiu. Now, from time to time, she would still regard him as her client.

It seemed that she was also waiting for his affirmative response. Even after coming to this world, Wan Ning would occasionally reveal some habits of a modern worker, subconsciously hoping to get the affirmation of the client's boss.

However, Mu Xiu was very calm and did not make any comments, nor did he even show any attitude. It was hard to tell what he was really thinking. At Wan Ning's urging, he asked calmly, "Will the Queen Mother be satisfied?"

"Oh no, I actually forgot about this." Forgetting that the Queen Mother was the client of this project, Wan Ning did not want to give up her idea and stubbornly explained the reason why she did this: "But it is Pei Lan that some people miss, it is Pei Lan who is alive and well, and it is Pei Lan who is happy. The title of 'Princess Lan' is just a shackle that makes her live in shackles."

Wan Ning was a little excited while speaking. These words did not seem to be spoken by herself, but more like Pei Lan speaking through her body. Wan Ning felt Pei Lan's emotions, and at that moment it seemed as if she was her, the lonely soul trapped in the palace. At the right time, Mu Xiu looked at Wan Ning, who was a little dazed, with some heartache, and stretched out two fingers to pinch her lips unexpectedly.

Everyone was shocked by his "manually muting" operation. Before others could react, Wan Ning regained consciousness first and pushed his hand away, asking angrily, "What are you doing!"

Mu Xiu realized his own gaffe, and while stroking the back of his head with his hand, he avoided her gaze and said calmly, "As long as the Queen Mother agrees, there will be no problem."

Wan Ning was naturally not a stingy person. She pretended nothing had happened and casually lay back on the chair, boasting in a very comfortable and relaxed tone: "Leave the matter of persuading the Queen Mother to me, and everyone should prepare in this direction first. How about this, President Jiang?"

Before Mu Xiu could answer, Shui Yue suddenly burst into laughter without warning, and everyone's eyes were focused on her. Shui Yue was out of breath, holding her stomach and stammering, "Stubborn? Princess, why do you call Prince Mu Xiu "Stubborn"? Are you giving him a new name? In my opinion, he is not stubborn at all, why would you give him such a name?"

After her explanation, everyone in the room reacted instantly, looked at each other and laughed heartily. Wan Tao smiled the most gracefully, with eyes curved like crescent moons; Zhu Zi was the happiest, hugging Shui Yue standing next to her and couldn't straighten her back at all. Zhu Ying, who was sitting next to her, was busy patting Zhu Zi's back while laughing.

Looking at Wan Ning again, she sat on a chair, holding her stomach with both hands, laughing so hard that tears came out. No one knew why such a simple sentence could have such power. Maybe many years later they would not remember why it happened at that time, but the pure happiness and the dull pain in the abdomen were real.

Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Wan Ning stood up with the help of a chair: "It's Jiang, not stubborn. Prince Mu Xiu is so handsome, but he has nothing to do with stubbornness."

"I've remembered it. It's already engraved in my head." Shuiyue pointed to her own head embarrassedly.

"Okay, okay, now let's get back to business and arrange the follow-up activities. Zhu Ying, you continue to prepare the banquet food. Three days later, we will have a food tasting to select the final food. Shui Yue, don't stop your investigation, but you need to spare some energy to prepare props with Zhu Zi. Zhu Zi, you will be responsible for preparing the props. Shui Yue will help, but you can ask for help in time if you have any questions. Wan Tao, Mu Xiu, please take care of the layout and decoration of the venue."

"As for me," Wan Ning paused and looked out the window at the gloomy sky, then added, "I will go to the Queen Mother's palace first to report the progress of the project to her and try to get her consent. Is this arrangement okay?"

Everyone nodded in agreement and were full of curiosity about this form.

"Wait, there is one more thing Wantao needs to pay attention to. I noticed that Shizi has been in a bad mood these past two days, lying in one place all day without moving. So I made this for him. When I'm not around, you can play with him for a while every day to keep him active." As he spoke, he walked to the cabinet and pulled out a thin, straight stick from the back of the cabinet. One end was tied with a rope and the other end was tied with a few feathers.

The stick was casually shaken in the air, and the feathers on one end of the rope tumbled back and forth. Wan Ning introduced: "This is called a cat teaser. When you use it, swing it like this, and Persimmon will run excitedly when he sees it."

"Princess, are you sure this little thing can really make Persimmon move? I don't know what's wrong with this little guy. Since he came to Xiang Wanxuan, he has been getting bigger and bigger. Now there are more than three of them when he first came. If he continues to grow at this rate, I'm afraid he will turn from a kitten into a pig. If it gets out, people will think that our Xiang Wanxuan is a pig farm."

There is no way around it, after all, with the orange on its body, the size of the persimmon will naturally not be small. Wan Ning has been prepared for this, as long as it grows healthy, it will be fine.

"Persimmon is active at night. When it first came, I came to the princess' room at night to deliver something, and Persimmon was teasing a mouse in the yard. The mouse was as big as this." Zhu Ying gestured with her hands and vividly described what she saw: "It was even bigger than Persimmon, but it still caught it. Its reaction was really sensitive and agile."

"Maybe the mice have heard about the benefits of dried persimmons, and now they no longer come to this yard. In autumn, there are not even grasshoppers, and the dried persimmons are even more bored. They can only eat and sleep. Now with this cat toy stick, our dried persimmons will soon be able to regain their perfect shape."

Perfect body? As Ah Ju, I am afraid that I will never have a perfect body in this life, so don’t even think about it.

"I hope so." Wan Ning smiled bitterly and turned to Mu Xiu to talk about Meng Zhu: "Is Meng Zhu still attending classes in the Queen Mother's Palace today? I just happened to be going to report to the Queen Mother, so I will pick her up today."

Mu Xiu waved his hand with a little pride and refused: "Mengzhu is not attending the cultural class in the Queen Mother's Palace today. She hasn't ridden a horse for a long time and complained that her skills have declined. With the Queen Mother's permission, I specially sent someone to take her to the horse farm to practice."

"Are you comfortable with her going alone?"
