At this time, a greeting was heard in the yard.

Fu Zheng, Fu Yunjing and Gu Zhiyin accompanied the old princess into Qingyi Courtyard.

After everyone arrived, they took their seats one by one.

Then Fu Yunke sadly discovered that she was full.

Looking at the table full of delicious food, tears couldn't help but flow from the corners of my mouth.

"Ooooooooooooooo… Can I spit it out now?"

Wen laughed and shook his head, holding her in his arms, and jokingly said, "Since you are full, let's take a look."

Fu Yunke pouted in grievance: "But my mouth said it wants to eat."

Everyone was amused by her.

The maids poured wine one by one. Fu Zheng raised the wine glass and toasted the old princess together with Wen.

"Thank you for your hard work in preparing the Mid-Autumn family dinner today." The old princess said, looking at Wen with a smile.

Wen was overjoyed to receive the old princess's affirmation: "It's what a daughter-in-law should do. It's not hard."

Then Fu Yunjing and Gu Zhiyin toasted the old princess.

"This wine is strong, Yinyin, drink less, or you'll have a headache later." The old princess said to Gu Zhiyin with a loving smile.

Gu Zhiyin nodded obediently in response.

But when the old princess looked at her grandson again, her tone was no longer so gentle: "You should drink less too. You just eat and drink for free instead of doing your work all day long."

The wine that Fu Yunjing brought to his lips instantly lost its flavor.

Grandma, I am no longer your grandson.

Is there anyone who treats people differently like you do?

"Grandma, I go to the academy to attend classes every day now, so I am not doing my work." Fu Yunjing decided to struggle and make himself clear.

"You sleep in class every day and hand in a blank paper for the college entrance examination. Your work is really different from others." The old princess glanced at him with an expression that said, "I see through everything, you just don't want to say it."

Fu Yunjing was choked.

Grandma, you are the most cruel one.

What a loss!

"Grandma, can we talk about something happier?" Fu Yunjing muttered angrily but could not say anything.

The old princess said: "Today is the fifteenth day of the family reunion. Go back to Qionghua Courtyard and stay there. You are not allowed to sleep in the front yard."

If she doesn't give him a push, when will she be able to hold her great-grandson in her arms?

Gu Zhiyin: “…”

Is this topic fun?

She stared blankly at the old princess's mouth, which was unable to suppress a smile, and sighed silently in her heart.

Well, grandma is happy.

His heart and eyes were filled with anticipation for his great-grandson.

Fu Yunke watched everyone toasting, his round eyes rolled around, he picked up the milk in his hand and stretched out his arms towards the old princess: "Grandma, grandma, cheers!"

The old princess was so happy that the wrinkles on her face deepened. She clinked glasses with Fu Yunke and said, "You clever little thing, you still remember to toast."

Although there were not many dishes on the table, they catered to everyone's preferences.

After the meal, the servants cleared the leftovers on the table and brought back cakes, mooncakes and fresh fruits. Then everyone sat in the yard to enjoy the moon.

Fu Yunjing casually took a piece of cut watermelon for Gu Zhiyin.

Gu Zhiyin was stunned for a moment, then took it and smiled: "Thank you, Prince."

The old princess looked at the two people who were so happy together and smiled until her eyes narrowed.

She suddenly stood up and said, "I'm too old to sit still, so I'll go back first."

Everyone stood up to see him off.

The old princess looked at Fu Yunjing and Gu Zhiyin again and said, "It's getting late. You should go back early. If you want to enjoy the moon, you can also enjoy it in Qionghua Courtyard."

Wen immediately understood and continued the old princess' words, "Yes, it's getting late, Your Majesty, let's go back too. Yao'er also needs to rest early."

Fu Zheng was stunned and said, "The mooncakes and fruits are all ready. Isn't it a good time to enjoy the moon here? It's not too late."

The old princess: "..."

I really want to beat this stupid son to death.

Wen winked at Fu Zheng: "Your Majesty, Ke Ke is sleepy."

Mother is giving Yunjing and Yinyin a chance to develop their relationship. If we don't leave, the young couple will feel embarrassed to go back.

Fu Zheng didn't understand his mother's thoughts, but he understood the look in Wen's eyes: "Okay, go back."

Fu Yunjing faced the old princess' murderous gaze and walked away with Gu Zhiyin.

Wen asked someone to take half of the things on the table to Qionghua Courtyard.

……

Compared with the warm and harmonious atmosphere of Prince Pingyang's Mansion, the atmosphere of Marquis Xing'an's Mansion is depressing and there is no festive joy at all.

Ji Kang, Wei and the concubines' sons and daughters in the mansion sat at the same table.

"Where is the prince?" Ji Kang asked as he sat down and looked at the people at the table.

Everyone had arrived, but Ji Yuanwen was nowhere to be seen.

"My lord, the prince was injured and cannot come for dinner," the servant replied.

Ji Kang frowned slightly when he heard this. He was about to scold him for making a fuss, but Wei glanced at him sharply and said, "He was bullied like this by Fu Yunjing at the Prince of Pingyang's Mansion at noon. As a father, don't you want to scold him instead of taking charge of the matter? If you don't want to come, then don't come. Let's eat."

That bastard Mao Yongchang is still in the Ministry of Justice. Although he can't do anything to their Ji family right now, until this matter is resolved, it will be like a thorn in the throat, making it difficult to swallow.

Yuan Wen went to negotiate peace but was humiliated. The Fu family was really going too far.

hateful!

Fortunately, the Pei family will help to pass the message to the third prince, and will then negotiate for them. After all, the Pingyang Palace only has a title, and how can it be compared with the prince without any power or influence.

Wei had a good idea, but she didn't know that Ji Yuanwen was caught having a secret meeting with Pei Shuyan outside, and he didn't come to the front yard to eat simply because he felt guilty, as if this incident had not happened if he didn't say anything.

Pei Shuyan went back and told his father the truth. With so many people seeing it, the rumors might not be suppressed. He was not afraid of the loss of reputation, but now was the time when the Pingyang Palace was competing with the Ji family, and he had to make sure that his daughter could still sit on the position of the Crown Prince's Wife.

It was just that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Third Prince went to the palace for a banquet, and Pei Shiyong couldn’t stay in the Third Prince’s residence all the time, so he had to come back the next day.

After the palace banquet, the third prince got on the carriage and returned home.

The adult princes have all left the palace and built their own residences, but they are not on the same street, and some are even far away from each other.

As soon as I returned home, I saw my staff waiting in the front yard.

Chu Chengnan didn't ask any more questions and took the person directly to the study.

Chang Xiao is waiting for me at this hour, so he must have something important to tell him.

After the servants brought the tea, Chu Chengnan asked them to leave.

Chang Xiao didn't wait for Chu Chengnan to ask, and said, "Your Highness, I heard rumors outside that Ji Yuanwen and Pei Shuyan had a secret meeting in Bichun Tower this afternoon, and Pei Shiyong came in the evening, and he must want to ask Your Highness to intervene in this matter."

Chu Chengnan drank a little too much in the palace and his head was aching slightly at the moment. When he heard Chang Xiao's words, the hand that was rubbing his forehead stopped for a moment. He raised his head abruptly, his eyes cold and filled with anger.

"These two idiots!"

"The Ministry of Justice is still keeping an eye on the Xing'an Marquis's Mansion, yet they are so bold as to go to Bichun Tower to meet him. Do they think that my Highness has not been exposed quickly enough?"
