Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

Huai'an chuckled, "There are a few other words."

Wen Linglong: Light, this is the right way.

How could that person deliberately put her name in the painting?

I just suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Meng Yunshang took Wen Linglong's expression into her eyes and asked Huai'an thoughtfully, "What exactly did uncle write on the painting? Tell me in full."

Huai'an put down the porcelain spoon, climbed onto the stool, put his hands on his waist and said loudly: "My uncle's painting says: Exquisite dice and red beans, do you know how deep my love is?"

"The two words 'Linglong' are from Aunt Linglong's name. I couldn't have read it wrong."

Lu Chenxiao sighed, "When it comes to being reserved and sultry, he is indeed the best."

This made no sense, but Wen Linglong's face turned red after hearing it.

Huai'an asked, not really understanding, "Mother, is Aunt Linglong the Linglong in uncle's painting?"

Meng Yunshang chuckled, "Mother doesn't know, how about we wait for uncle to come and ask?"

Huai'an clapped his hands and cheered.

Wen Linglong's face turned red with embarrassment.

Meng Yunshang finally got to the point, "As far as I know, today's Cui family banquet is called plum blossom viewing, but it's actually a photo op."

Wen Linglong's expression froze, "What the princess means is..."

"The Queen Mother intends to arrange a marriage for you."

Wen Linglong's face turned pale instantly, "But I, I have already left the Wen family..."

Meng Yunshang sighed in her heart. So what if she left the Wen family? They were just a fig leaf for the Wen family.

When the Wen family wanted to shirk responsibility, they took it out and used it.

When the Wen family didn't want to admit it, Wen Linglong could only continue to be sucked dry by the Wen family.

Wen Linglong soon figured this out. She smiled bitterly and said, "I thought I had done a good job, but it turns out it's just this good. Haha..."

Sadness and despair enveloped Wen Linglong's whole body almost instantly.

Meng Yunshang asked quietly, "What if the Queen Mother wants you to enter the palace and become the Queen?"

"So what?" Wen Linglong smiled sadly.

"I never seek wealth and glory, I just want to win the heart of one person and stay with him till we grow old together."

Meng Yunshang and Lu Chenxiao looked at each other, and they both knew what Wen Linglong was thinking.

But until the person involved reveals the truth, they will continue to pretend they are ignorant.

After thinking for a while, she told Wen Linglong, "Follow me when we go to Cui's house. Don't act alone."

No one can guarantee whether the Queen Mother has any tricks up her sleeve.

If she were to take an extreme approach and resort to some despicable means, Wen Linglong would probably have no chance to be with her elder brother in this life.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Princess." Wen Linglong cheered up and gave Meng Yunshang a grateful smile.

Although she was somewhat puzzled by the meaning of Meng Yunshang's action, the Prince Heng's Mansion was the only one she could trust now.

Meng Yunshang saw Wen Linglong's dejection, but there were many things she couldn't say now. She could only remind her implicitly, "It's too early to give up before the end."

Wen Linglong seemed to be thinking about something.

*

The banquet was held in the Cui family's plum garden.

When the carriage from Prince Heng's palace arrived, brother and sister Cui Chen and Cui Linlang came forward together to greet them.

Cui Cheng saluted Lu Chenxiao, while Cui Linlang warmly hugged Meng Yunshang's arm, "Princess, you are finally here. I have been looking forward to seeing you for a long time."

"Really?" Meng Yunshang smiled faintly, somewhat uncomfortable with Cui Linlang's unusual closeness.

Lu Chenxiao noticed her discomfort and pulled her into his arms, away from Cui Linlang.

"Not everyone can hold my princess."

Cui Linlang's hands fell empty, feeling a little embarrassed.

Cui Cheng quickly tried to smooth things over, "Linlang, you are really something. Everyone in the capital doesn't know that the love between the prince and his wife is the envy of others."

Cui Linlang smiled playfully, "Look at my brain. Fortunately, you reminded me in time, otherwise I would have really committed treason and snatched the prince's person."

The atmosphere finally returned to being lively, and Cui Linlang talked casually about the guests who had arrived.

"You Ran arrived early and has already had two rounds of tea. Qing Mo just went in, and Miss Huang, Miss Luo and the others have also arrived. The only one missing is you, Princess."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Youran's voice of reproach came from the courtyard, "You stinky girl, I just ate two plates of snacks from your house, and you actually complained to your cousin's wife."

Cui Linlang immediately looked guilty as if she had been caught doing something wrong. She hid behind Cui Cheng and made faces at Zuo Youran.

"That's not just any tea. I prepared it specially for the princess. You snatched her share, so I have to blame you."

The tone was innocent enough, but saying it in front of both parties was so embarrassing that one wanted to dig their toes into the ground.

Zuo You paused, scratched his head and explained to Meng Yunshang, "Don't blame me, cousin, it's just that the snacks tasted so good that I ate a little more."

Meng Yunshang responded calmly, "Miss Cui is joking with you."

Lu Chenxiao looked at Cui Chen unkindly, "Is the Cui family so poor that they can't even afford tea?"

Cui Cheng's scalp tingled when he was looked at, "How could it be, my sister is just joking with the county lady."

As he spoke, he pulled Cui Linlang in front of him and gently pushed her, signaling her to explain herself quickly.

Cui Linlang bit her lip and said, "I made the snacks myself, so the amount is not that much."

If the first time was just a fight, then this time it was another statement that it was clearly intentionally targeted.

Zuo Youran's temper was immediately ignited. She questioned Cui Linlang with a dark face, "If the Cui family can't afford to invite guests, they don't have to. If they don't want me to come, they don't have to send an invitation to the princess's mansion."

"Since you have handed in the invitation, you should have the courage of a host. I just wanted to eat two pieces of your tea and snacks, but you made such a fuss. Why do you think I am easy to bully?"

Cui Linlang bowed her head and apologized, "That's not what I meant, Youran, you misunderstood me."

"I'm not blind, how can I not see what you're thinking? You just think that Princess Heng is more worthy of your flattery, so you want to step on this county lady to get attention!"

"I didn't, I really didn't."

Cui Linlang shook her head with tears in her eyes.

It was as if Zuo Youran had said something unforgivable, making her sad.

Meng Yunshang frowned as she watched.

I always feel that the Cui Linlang in front of me is completely different from the cheerful and confident Cui Linlang in the woods that day.

I don't know what she is up to.

"Why are you crying? I'm the one who should be crying!"

Zuo Youran hated women crying the most in her life. Even if the person was Cui Linlang, it would still make her more irritable in a minute.

But before she could even roar, she heard a majestic voice.

"Zuo Youran, are you bullying me again?"

Everyone turned around and found that Emperor Yuan Qing had been standing there at some point.

"Your Majesty!"

Zuo Youran's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

After calming down, she quickly rushed behind Meng Yunshang.

"Cousin, please save me. The emperor misunderstands me as a bully and will definitely punish me by making me copy books. Please save me. I will definitely go through fire and water for you in the future."

Meng Yunshang: “?”

"Zuo Youran!"

Emperor Yuan Qing strode over.

Lu Chenxiao took the lead in bowing and greeting, and Meng Yunshang followed him in step.

When Emperor Yuan Qing saw Lu Chenxiao and Meng Yunshang, the coldness on his face disappeared and he greeted them gently, "No need to be polite, please stand up."

Seeing Zuo Youran shrinking behind Meng Yunshang, he was very surprised, "My sister-in-law has a good relationship with County Master Youran?"
