While several people were talking, Jin Shu came to report that the eldest lady of the Song family had entered the palace and was now preparing to go to Laiyi Pavilion to look for Song Wan.
Song Wan got up after hearing the words and went to Changxin Palace to pick up Ming Xiang.
Seeing Song Wan, Ming Xiang pursed his lips and smiled softly.
She is becoming more and more charming now, her brows and eyes are full of coquettishness and tenderness that enjoys being pampered. Song Wan knew at a glance that she and her brother were living very happily, and he couldn't help but feel happy for them from the bottom of his heart.
"I've met my sister-in-law."
The two of them walked to a deserted place, and Song Wan winked and teased with a smile.
Mingxiang's cheeks turned red and he pushed her gently: "You should be beaten for teasing...sister-in-law."
When she opened her mouth, Song Wan found that Ming Xiang was much more articulate. More importantly, she was now acting gracefully and gracefully. Her dignity revealed the unique tenderness of her daughter's family, and she was no longer as shy and timid as she had been before she left the cabinet.
Song Wan came close to her and said softly: "I think my brother loves my sister-in-law very much."
"You... entered the East Palace, and you are much more lively than before."
"Prince, I love you too."
The little girl in front of her blinked her eyes, full of fun. Song Wan suddenly blushed and looked away.
Mingxiang guessed that she missed her husband so much that she couldn't bear to tease her any more, so she entered Lai Yi Pavilion and the two started talking easily.
"Today...I am...much more skilled in talking to the servants in the mansion and...my husband."
Song Wan said: "Sister-in-law has a sweet voice. You should talk more about it to please everyone's ears."
"I wonder if my sister-in-law's housekeeping is going well?"
Ming Xiang nodded: "After my father handed over the government affairs... to my hands, the steward... was convinced, and with the help of Aunt Song... she was very handy."
Originally, she thought she would be embarrassed by Mrs. Song, but she never thought that Mrs. Song had never left the house until the Queen died.
During the funeral ceremony for the queen, she entered the palace with a haggard face to see the queen off.
Since Mrs. Song "recovered" from her illness, she has been silent all day long and never interfered in government affairs, which made Ming Xiang worry a lot.
It's just that it's hard for her to say these words to Song Wan.
The two of them are juniors after all, and there is no reason to criticize their elders, so they mentioned it briefly and didn't say much about it.
"I have arranged a marriage for...Song Nian before. Once the queen...is finished, it should be possible."
"Hey, which one?"
Ming Xiang smiled lightly: "The British government."
Song Wan smiled when he heard this.
The British princes had many heirs, and among them there were many outstanding men. Song Nian was a direct descendant and lived with Song Fu, so he should be the younger brother of the British father-in-law. Although he is from the side, the person chosen by Ming Xiang must have a good temperament.
Although Song Wan could not say that she had much sisterly friendship with Song Yao and Song Nian, she was always happy to see them find a good home.
"This is my seventeenth... brother. He has a very good temperament."
Ming Shiqi was born in the West Fang of the British Duke's mansion. Although he was a side branch, he had a calm temperament and was humble, and he could get along well with Song Nian. And just for her sake, Xi Fang will not despise Song Nian in the future.
Originally, she thought that her family would object to telling the Song Dynasty's legitimate daughter to the British branch, but Song Lan'an agreed after just a few questions.
"The person my sister-in-law chooses will definitely not be wrong."
The two chatted for a few more words and Ming Xiang made an excuse to leave. Song Wan thought for a while and asked to stay: "There are many strange women in the East Palace. I wonder if my sister-in-law would like to get to know them?"
Before leaving the cabinet, Ming Xiang was severely detained by the British government. He had neither a handkerchief nor anyone to talk to. Although Song Wan can now be called her semi-friend, her temperament is somewhat boring, which is not enough to make Ming Xiang happy.
"They are kind-hearted and funny. My sister-in-law will definitely like them if she sees them."
"Wan'er...if you like it, I like it."
Mingxiang smiled so hard that his eyebrows arched: "See you."
Liangdi and Liangyuan in the East Palace each have their own peculiarities, and Mingxiang has also heard about them. Although it is rumored in the market that they are all insults, Mingxiang knows that Song Wan is not an innocent person. She must have said this because of the extraordinary qualities of those women. .
With a little bit of curiosity in his heart, Ming Xiang followed Song Wan to Shang Rong's palace.
Shang Rong had woken up, and when the two of them entered, several girls were still chattering.
"I've seen... Shang Liangdi, Wu Liangdi..."
"Are you Song Fu's wife?"
Ming Xiang nodded, wondering how Shang Liangdi knew about Song Fu. After hearing Song Wan's explanation, she looked at Shang Rong in surprise.
"Just now Youyun said she was hungry, so I asked the kitchen to make some pastries for you to eat together."
Knowing that Shang Rong was easily tired, Ming Xiang nodded and followed Song Wan to sit next to Lu Youyun.
Lu Youjun has a lively temperament, and he didn't care when Ming Xiang was speechless. He pulled her and started talking about the fried cakes, gold silk cakes and other things he had eaten. Wu Xixiang listened on the side and laughed and scolded: "Youyun told a story about eating together. I don't know whether it is true or false. It made everyone greedy and couldn't eat."
Mingxiang said: "I want to eat too."
"It's true."
Lu Youjun gestured with his hands: "The golden silk cake is such a big piece. The outside is fried to golden and crispy dough, and the inside is wrapped with candied date paste filling. When you bite into it, the outside dough will fall off. Ouch...that's so crispy..."
"The candied date paste should be soaked in good honey in advance."
"Soak the dates until the whole date is fragrant with honey, then steam them bit by bit, grind them into puree and wrap them in cooked noodles... Ouch!"
Lu Youyun was drooling as she spoke, when suddenly a cricket as big as a fingernail flew out of nowhere and landed on her hand. She jerked around in shock, and the next moment she covered her mouth tightly and squatted aside.
Mingxiang was the closest to her, and when he saw her reaction, he picked up a tea bowl from the table and threw it out.
After the teacup was thrown out, it happened to hit the cricket.
"Youyun, are you okay?"
Song Wan stepped forward to help Lu Youjun up. She was so frightened that she trembled and flew to nowhere. She only came back to her senses when she saw Qi Qingling disposing of the tea bowl.
"I am most afraid of snakes, insects, rats and ants..."
Her face was pale, and the way she covered her lips when she saw the cricket made Song Wan feel heartbroken.
"Don't be afraid, it has been taken care of."
Song Wan comforted Lu Youjun, but Zhang Baozhen looked at Mingxiang in surprise: "Mrs. Song is so powerful. That hand just now was really beautiful."
Ming Xiang looked a little shy: "The Six Arts of a Gentleman...I...are the strongest in archery."
When Shang Rong heard this, she smiled and said, "The Queen of the Kingdom is indeed worthy of her reputation."
"It's not that...well, my brothers...are very powerful and can make a difference with a hundred steps."
The title of the British Duke was forged by the blood of his ancestors on the battlefield. Ming Xiang, as his descendant, naturally never failed in his skill of riding and shooting.
Even if there are girls in the house, there is no one who cannot mount a horse-drawn bow.
Song Wan also seemed to understand Ming Xiang for the first time, and his eyes were full of surprise.
After this farce, Mingxiang quickly became familiar with everyone, and the conversation became more enthusiastic. When it got dark, she had to leave the palace, and the others reluctantly returned to their bedrooms.
Song Dong returned to Yi Pavilion, and looking at the quiet appearance, he actually missed Shen Qianyu.
She originally thought that she was used to the loneliness and boredom day after day, but she didn't know that she couldn't adapt without the nagging person beside her who repeatedly asked about trivial matters.
After thinking about it, Song Wan pursed his lips and laughed.
But she didn't know that Shen Qianyu was even worse than her. Even when Qin Rao called him, he was still distracted, thinking about whether his Wan'er had enough to eat and sleep well, and thinking about him...
