My bad father married a princess, my mother divorced me, and I became the group's favorite

"If I want to propose marriage, what do I need to prepare?"

Propose marriage?

Who proposes marriage?

Nanny Sun was a little slow to react.

She was stunned for a moment before she asked cautiously, "General, who are you going to propose to?"

Xiao Mu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, his eyes full of tenderness, and said: "Of course I will propose to Madam Liu."

Nanny Sun was delighted and said quickly, "General, this is a great event. There are many things to prepare for the marriage proposal. First of all, there must be precious jewelry to show that the general cherishes Madam Liu; there must also be exquisite silks and satins to let Madam Liu feel the general's thoughtfulness; secondly, various precious medicinal herbs are also indispensable to express the general's concern for Madam Liu. In addition, the quantity and quality of the betrothal gifts must be rich enough to show our general's status and sincerity."

Xiao Mu listened carefully, nodded slightly, and said: "Prepare as you said. Be sure to choose the best things and don't be careless."

Nanny Sun was full of energy at the moment, and quickly responded: "General, rest assured, I will do my best to prepare the betrothal gifts, but on this day..."

The joy on Xiao Mu's face faded a little. It seemed that she had not agreed to the marriage proposal yet, and he also promised to give her time.

"Well, there's no rush. We still need to discuss the date. Madam, please prepare it in advance. Don't make it public in advance, so as not to be discovered by Madam Liu. You can prepare it privately first..."

The more Xiao Mu spoke, the more guilty he felt. It seemed like he was acting a little too hastily.

Nanny Sun clearly understood that Madam Liu must have just agreed, and the general was probably anxious to get married.

She looked at Xiao Mu's slightly embarrassed look and laughed in her heart. The general was usually so majestic, but he could be so nervous about matters of the heart.

She quickly responded, "General, rest assured. I will do my best to handle this matter and will not let any news leak out. If you have no other instructions, I will go down and take care of it first."

Xiao Mu nodded and said, "Okay, go and get busy."

Nanny Sun retreated with a smile. As soon as she left the study, before she could say a word, she was forcibly supported by Mo Feng and Mo Yu on her left and right at the door.

It made Nanny Sun laugh and cry!

At this time in the Liu Mansion, Liu Yunniang had no idea of Xiao Mu's plan.

Tomorrow is the Queen's birthday banquet. Liu Yunniang is preparing to attend the banquet, and she can't help feeling a little nervous.

Ye Xiaoxiao watched her mother busying around and said, "Mom, don't be too nervous. Nanny Sun said that you learned the rules well, and I'm not bad at learning the rules either. Even if you don't trust yourself, can you not trust Nanny Sun?"

Liu Yunniang patted her daughter's head lovingly, frowned slightly, and said, "You are always talking nonsense. The Queen's birthday banquet is very special. We must be careful. Mother is afraid that something will go wrong with the Queen Mother or Princess Pingle."

"Mom, let's be careful, everything will be fine. You look especially beautiful today, and your complexion is good. Please stop frowning, or you'll get wrinkles!"

Ye Xiaoxiao originally wanted to coax her mother, but after hearing this, she actually discovered the difference.

She came close to Liu Yunniang, looked at her face carefully, and said doubtfully: "Mother, you are indeed different today. It seems that your whole body exudes a different kind of brilliance. Especially your lips. I know, mother, you changed your lip balm, right? The color looks particularly bright!"

Liu Yunniang's cheeks instantly turned red. She noticed that her lips were a little swollen in the morning, so she deliberately put more makeup on. Unexpectedly, she was targeted by the devil Xiaoxiao.

She cursed the culprit in her heart, but fortunately no one knew that he had gone to her room last night, otherwise she would be too embarrassed to see anyone now.

She patted Ye Xiaoxiao's head lightly and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about, little kid?"

Mother’s reaction is wrong. It looks like she’s feeling guilty.

Could it be that something happened that she didn't know about?

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoxiao refused to give in and said with a smile: "Mom, Xiaoxiao is serious. If you don't believe me, ask Sister Chunxi and the others."

When Liu Yunniang saw Chunxi, Yuemei and the others looking at her after hearing Xiaoxiao's words, her face turned even redder. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Go with mother to try on your clothes for tomorrow. The clothes that Su Jinge just sent are waiting for you!"

Knowing that her mother was deliberately changing the subject, Ye Xiaoxiao could only put aside her thoughts of eating melons!

New clothes are fine, as a woman, who doesn’t love them?

"Really? Mother, let's go quickly." She took Liu Yunniang's hand and walked towards the inner room impatiently.

Chunxi took out the clothes that Su Jinge had sent and helped Ye Xiaoxiao put them on.

It was an emerald green silk skirt with a soft texture. It was embroidered with bamboo leaves, which seemed to make people feel the fresh natural breath.

Her hair was tied into two lovely buns, adorned with moon-blue pearls, and around her neck she wore a red string on which hung her precious jade pendant.

She is wearing small boots of the same color on her feet, with simple patterns embroidered on the uppers. Every step she takes seems to carry a breath of spirit, making her look particularly fresh and elegant.

Ye Xiaoxiao walked around the room a few times in her new clothes, as happy as a cheerful little bird.

"Mom, do I look good?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked, blinking her big eyes.

Liu Yunniang smiled gently and replied, "It's beautiful. My Xiaoxiao is the cutest little girl in the world."

The mother and daughter were immersed in this warmth, but Chunxi said with some concern: "Madam, tomorrow's Queen's birthday banquet, according to the rules, you can only bring one maid into the palace. Yuemei and Yuezhu are more familiar with palace rules and etiquette than this maid. Why don't you choose one to follow you into the palace? This maid will wait for you and the young lady to return in the mansion."

Liu Yunniang was slightly stunned, and looking at Chunxi's worried expression, a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She gently held Chunxi's hand and said, "Chunxi, don't think like that. You have been working hard to learn the etiquette and rules of the palace. I have seen it all."

Chunxi's eyes were slightly red, and she said, "Madam, I am afraid that I don't know the rules and will cause trouble for you at the banquet, and drag you and the young lady down. Yuemei and Yuezhu are indeed more familiar with the palace rules and etiquette than I am. I can feel more at ease if they accompany you to the palace. I am not intolerant. We are all around you, Madam. As long as it is for your own good, who goes with you, what does it matter?"

Liu Yunniang frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "When an enemy comes, we will fight him with our troops; when a flood comes, we will block it with earth. As long as we are careful in what we say and do, there shouldn't be any big problems. If you really don't want to enter the palace, then let Yuemei go with me first. There will be opportunities in the future. You are the future housekeeper of our mansion!"

Ye Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement, "Yes, Sister Chunxi is the best!"

Yuemei and Yuezhu also nodded and agreed, "Madam is right, Sister Chunxi, don't think too much. No one is born knowing etiquette and rules. From now on, we will take turns to accompany Madam to the palace."
