   Chapter 108 It's not easy for the son

   King Jing's family has always gotten along casually. Hearing Qi Shuo's question, King Jing and Princess Jing asked in unison, "Shuo'er, who do you think should go?"

   Under the watchful eyes of his parents, Qi Shuo touched the tip of his nose: "Why don't I go for the father and the mother."

   Princess Jing subconsciously shook her head: "Don't you like these kinds of occasions?"

   King Jing was a little unhappy.

   If my son doesn't like it, does he like it?

   This woman is really partial to her son.

   Qi Huan also walked in. When Princess Jing saw her second son, she casually said, "Why don't you let Huan'er go?"

  Huan'er usually doesn't stay at home, and loves to join in the fun.

   King Jing took a sip of tea silently.

   is not entirely partial to his son.

   Qi Huan looked blank, looked at his parents and then at his eldest brother: "Where are you going?"

  Qi Shuo smiled and said, "In two days, the birthday banquet of Mrs. Wuninghou, it is not convenient for my father and mother to go, so I will go there."

   Qi Huan looked at Princess Jing.

   Princess Jing was still a little worried: "Shuo'er, are you really going?"

  Shuoer has a heart attack, what should I do if it happens in a messy situation?

   "The son is the prince. If the father and the mother don't go, the son is the most suitable for the Prince Jing's residence in the past."

   Hearing what Qi Shuo said, Princess Jing nodded.

   "Am I still going?" Qi Huan still couldn't figure out what was going on.

   Princess Jing glanced at the second son: "It's all right, just don't go to those messy places for me."

   Qi Huan shouted injustice: "I don't have a son!"

   Just that time, I went to visit Jinshui River with my friends, caught up with my friends and fought with another group of people. Finally, the family members on both sides knew about it, and the mother-in-law held on to it.

   The two brothers left the main courtyard, Qi Huan glanced at his brother, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

   "What are you laughing at?" Qi Shuo glanced at his brother.

  Qi Huan winked: "Brother, you are willing to go to Mrs. Wuning Hou's birthday banquet for your father, mother and concubine. Is Miss Lin also going?"

  Qi Shuo squinted at his younger brother: "Don't wink, it looks too wretched."

   Seeing his brother strode away, Qi Huan took a picture of the smooth corridor.

Is    really wretched?

   The shocked voice of the little princess came: "Second brother, what are you doing?"

  The second brother took the pillar as a mirror when he was walking on the road. Is this a serious illness?

   Qi Huan froze and said nonchalantly: "I have nothing to do, I have something urgent, so I will go first."

   Leaving Qi Qiong confused, he turned to look for Lin Hao to complain: "Ah, I really envy you for having sisters."

  Lin Hao couldn't help raising the corners of his lips: "The county owner doesn't need to be envious. It's good for sisters to have sisters, and it's good for brothers and sisters to have brothers and sisters."

   Qi Qiong wanted to roll his eyes.

   If the corners of Ah Hao's mouth were not so high, she would almost believe it.

   "Sister Chan hasn't been out recently, what are you busy with?"

  Lin said with a smile: "What else can I do, embroider a dowry."

   Bringing this up, Qi Qiong touched his forehead: "I almost forgot to say, there is good news to tell you."

   "What news?"

   Qi Qiong lowered his voice: "My cousin... is King Wei, and he has lost weight."

   This is really amazing, to know that the cousins ​​she has seen over the years are all a ball, or a ball that is getting bigger and bigger.

   I didn’t expect to see you not long ago, and I could clearly see that I had lost weight.

  Lin Hao knew that King Wei would lose weight, but knowing that was one thing, only when there was a big change, did one really let go of his heart.

   She cannot be exempted from the custom and hopes that her sister will marry a handsome man.

  The little princess is still talking: "I think if King Wei loses weight, maybe he will look good. You can rest assured Sister Chan."

  Lin smiled: "Understood, thank the princess for telling me this news."

   "Next time I see King Wei, I'll pay attention and let you know if there are any changes." Qi Qiong asked the others, "Will you go to the birthday banquet of Mrs. Wuning Hou?"

  Lin Hao shook his head: "Mother said to ask the steward to send a congratulatory gift."

   This is what it means not to go.

   Qi Qiong secretly felt sorry for his elder brother.

   "Will the princess go with the princess?"

   "I'm not going either, the elder brother will go on behalf of Prince Jing's mansion that day."

  Lin Hao didn't think too much about this, and returned home with the little county master, but was told by Lin to go to the birthday banquet of Mrs. Wuninghou.

   "Didn't mother say not to go?"

  The capital’s various prefectures are inextricably linked, and there are many personal exchanges. Those who are close to each other or who are interested in clinging to them will go there in person when they receive the post. If the relationship is mediocre or even secretly disagreeable, they will send the steward to send a gift.

   Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Wu Ninghou couldn't get along, and suddenly said they were going, Lin Hao couldn't understand.

  The corners of Lin's mouth rose, unable to contain the joy: "Mother has good news for you."

  Lin Hao thought this sentence was strange, so he asked, "What good news?"

   "King Wei lost weight."

   "Ah, is that so?" Lin Hao pretended to be surprised.

  Lin's delighted: "You can't be wrong, my stepmother secretly went to take a look at this news, and she really lost a lot of weight."

  Lin Hao twitched the corners of his mouth.

   There are not many as curious as my mother is.

   Lin clasped his hands together and said in his mouth, "Thank God, as long as King Wei loses weight steadily, he might still be a beautiful man when he gets married with your eldest sister."

   That way, the eldest daughter is not married to a ball, and her heart as a mother is better.

   "You still didn't say why you are going to Mrs. Wuning Hou's birthday banquet again."

  Lin's face took it for granted: "I said, King Wei has lost weight."

  Lin is so at a loss.

   Does it matter?

   Lin's chin was slightly raised, and she couldn't hide her expression: "Your eldest sister was chosen as Princess Wei, and I don't know how many people said sour words. Now that King Wei is thin, let's see what they say."

  Those people are immoral. If their own girl is chosen, they will marry into the royal family. If someone else's girl is chosen, they will laugh at a girl and marry a fat man.

  Because of their status as King Wei, they didn't dare to say it explicitly, but a meaningful look, a trace of a malicious smile, and a snarky remark were enough to make people uncomfortable.

   Lin Shi is not the temperament to swallow his voice. The prospective son-in-law is promising, and of course he has to find his way back.

  Lin is so helpless: "Mother, you don't have to—"

   Lin straightened his drooping hair: "I'm idle anyway."

   Lin Hao thinks so too, so let's go.

   "Well, you dress better that day. Your eldest sister will not go if she wants to embroider a dowry at home."

   "Don't worry, mother, all my daughter's clothes and jewelry look good."

  Lin smiled.

   This is true.

   In the blink of an eye, Mrs. Lin took Lin Hao out the door on the day of Mrs. Wuninghou's birthday banquet.

  The Marquis of Wuning is not far from the General’s Mansion, so it’s actually very convenient to walk, but it’s naturally impossible to stroll around on this occasion, so the mother and daughter still took the carriage.

  Lin felt that the car was stuffy, lifted the curtains of the car to breathe, and saw the young man who was riding behind him at a glance.

   "Good, good."

   Lin Hao leaned over: "Mother, what's the matter?"

   "Prince Jing is behind, and it seems that he is also going to attend the birthday banquet of Mrs. Wuning Hou."

  Lin Hao knew for a long time that Qi Shuo would go. Hearing what Lin said, he didn't have much reaction.

   Instead, Mrs. Lin sighed: "It's not easy either. With a crooked body, I will have to support the huge palace in the future."

   rode close to Qi Shuo who was about to greet him: "..."
