The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

After a moment, Mrs. Tang calmed down.

"How old is the young master this year?"

Li Xi'an said politely, "In reply to Madam Tang, I am nine years old this year."

It was just because he kept a low profile in the palace in previous years and rarely appeared in public, so these people did not associate him with the eldest prince in the palace.

But Mrs. Tang already knew his identity.

There was a hint of relief in his eyes.

"Young Master, you are well-mannered, humble and polite. It's obvious that your parents have raised you very well."

When talking about his parents, Li Xi'an's face showed both regret and relief.

Unfortunately, he never experienced the love of his mother.

Fortunately, his father was very good to him. In this respect, he was much luckier than many of his brothers and sisters in the palace.

Li Xi'an nodded.

"I have been recuperating at the County Master's home recently. It happens to be Young Master Xu's birthday. As a beneficiary of the County Master's medical skills, I cannot come empty-handed."

When everyone heard this, they understood.

It turned out that this young man was the county lady's patient.

No wonder he gave such a valuable gift right away. He must be a young man from a wealthy family, but no one knew about it because of his illness.

There are many aristocratic families in Da Xia, so it is normal that they have never heard of it.

Children are all playful.

In the end, Hao Ting played with the night pearl as if it were a ball, which made everyone laugh.

The Zhou-year-old ceremony is just a formality.

The night pearl is valuable, and Song Yuntang was worried that Hao Ting would damage or lose it, so after letting him play with it for a while, he hurriedly asked Xia Ning to take it back to the warehouse.

Before the banquet began, the emperor asked Fan Chihai to deliver a generous gift.

There are precious medicinal herbs, silks and satins, as well as jade and jewelry.

Seeing that the emperor valued the Xu family so much and even sent his personal eunuch to deliver gifts, everyone dared not act vaguely anymore.

When Fan Chihai came, he glanced at Li Xian from time to time. Seeing that he had undergone a complete transformation, he felt comforted. After delivering the things, he hurried back to the palace to report the news to the emperor.

……

The banquet ended and everyone said goodbye and left one after another.

Hao Ting played all day and probably was tired, so he went to bed early.

The Song family found Song Yuntang.

"Tang'er, Hao Ting is already one year old. We will be returning to Rongshu Village tomorrow. Our family can't help you much. You should take care of yourself in the capital. If there is anything you need us for, you can send a letter home."

Song Yuntang nodded, walked towards Mu Qiu, reached out to feel her pulse, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"I'm afraid my second brother and his wife can't leave with you."

Everyone looked at each other, then turned to look at her.

"Why?"

Song Yuntang looked in the direction of Song Jinsheng.

"My second sister-in-law has been pregnant for over a month, and the fetus is not yet firmly seated. If she were to travel long distances, it might harm the fetus. As for my second brother, he will naturally stay here to take care of her."

Song Jinsheng looked stunned.

By the time he reacted, his mouth was almost stretched to his ears.

"Does that mean I'm going to be a father?"

"Look at your worthless look, but aren't you going to be a father?" Lin said with a smile, "It takes several days to get back to Rongshu Village from the capital, and the carriage is bumpy. My granddaughter-in-law is newly pregnant, so she really can't travel with us like this."

Song Xingye also nodded.

"It's okay for Jinsheng and his wife to stay for now. They can help with the shop anyway."

He then faked a cough and looked in Liu's direction.

Immediately afterwards, Song Jinbao and Zhao also looked at Liu, and Song Jinyuan even pushed Liu forward.

"Tang'er, the daytime grabbing of the first month..."

Before Song Jinyuan could finish his words, Liu stepped forward holding the child.

"I was negligent in not looking after Manman during the Zhuazhou ceremony, but we really didn't mean to do that. If Tang'er minds, I apologize."

Song Yuntang didn't take this episode to heart at first.

Besides, they were leaving tomorrow, so she didn't want to care about anything.

However, Liu's words made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Either don't stand up, or stand up now and say things like "if you mind".

She said she minded, which made her seem stingy.

It is impossible to not mind at all.

She is also a mother, and she hopes that her child will be well and receive everyone's blessings. She snatched the little golden lock from Hao Ting during the one-year-old ceremony. If she were an ordinary mother, she would have been furious.

"I didn't intend to make a fuss about it originally, but from what my sister-in-law said, it seems that she thinks Manman's actions were perfectly fine?"

"I didn't say that either."

Liu held the child's hand tightly, and even though her arms were sore, she was reluctant to let go.

There was a wariness in her eyes.

"It was indeed wrong for Manman to snatch Hao Ting's little gold lock, but it was mainly because I didn't think highly of him. Ultimately, this matter was my negligence. If you want to blame someone, blame me."

Although Manman is less than two years old, he is not old enough to understand anything.

Now feeling his mother's protection for him and Song Yuntang's somewhat cold gaze, he clenched his fists and looked fiercely in Song Yuntang's direction.

The elders of the Song family looked at each other and shook their heads.

After returning, Liu and Manman’s matter had to be taken seriously.

Although there haven't been any outstanding boys in the Song family, there haven't been any bad ones either. They can't let Liu, a bad apple, spoil the whole bunch.

Just like Song Zhimei who was harmed by Ma before.

The second brother's long-term residence has suffered a lot in the past two years and his temper has gradually improved.

If Ma was still at home, he would probably be completely ruined.

Having a bad woman in the family can ruin several generations.

After looking at her for a moment, Song Yuntang spoke.

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to look at me like that. I wouldn't bother with a child."

After she finished speaking, she stopped paying attention to Liu and turned to look at everyone.

"Since grandpa, grandma, dad, and mom plan to go back to Rongshu Village tomorrow, why don't you all go to bed early tonight? We still have several days to travel, and it won't be as comfortable as home."

"Okay." Lin and Song Xingye stood up. "Let's all get some rest. We'll leave tomorrow morning after breakfast."

They spent their whole lives in Rongshu Village.

After seeing the prosperity of the capital, they still feel that days of working hard in the fields will make them more relaxed and comfortable.

Seeing that everyone had returned to the house, Song Jinsheng carefully protected Mu Qiu and walked towards the backyard.

"Be careful not to touch your stomach."

Mu Qiu glared at him unhappily and slapped his hand away.

"I'm not that delicate. Isn't this how I've been these days?"

"What do you mean?" Song Jinsheng chased after her, "Did you know you were pregnant?"

"No."

Mu Qiu quickened his pace with an unconcealable smile on his face.

The more Song Jinsheng thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

"I was wondering just now, if Tang'er didn't know you were pregnant, why would she suddenly go to check your pulse? I thought she saw it, but I didn't expect you two had already colluded."
