Reborn to choose a husband, I will lead the deposed prince to seize my ex-husband’s kingdom

The first ray of light in the morning was wrapped in the mottled shadows of the trees, penetrated the gaps in the bed tent, and softly spread on Xu Mingyue's brocade quilt.

Xu Mingyue, who had been sleeping for several days, finally woke up before daylight.

Lifting the bed curtain with one hand, Tiantian and Youyu pushed the door in with six little maids, each performing their duties to help Xu Mingyue dress up.

Lin Yan's personal nanny, Mrs. Xu, entered Wangshu Tower at the right time and looked at Xu Mingyue respectfully: "I've seen the girl before."

Xu Mingyue glanced sideways and nodded towards Mother Xu. Only after receiving such instructions did Mother Xu dare to explain her purpose:

"Girl, Madam thought that you should have had enough sleep today, so she asked the servant to wait outside. She said that when you wake up, she would invite you to go to the flower hall to have breakfast together, and then go to the pavilion to enjoy the lake view."

Xu Mingyue nodded, let You Yu fix the hairpin for her, put on a refreshing summer dress and went downstairs.

After walking out of Wangshu Tower, Tiantian opened an oil-paper umbrella to cover Xu Mingyue from the rising sun. Youyu held a round fan in her hand to gently fan Xu Mingyue.

Heading towards the flower hall, there were green trees all the way, but the summer heat didn't bother Xu Mingyue at all.

Xu Jian, who was standing in the flower hall and looking forward to it, saw Xu Mingyue's figure from a distance. He held the folding fan that had been prepared and rushed forward eagerly.

The servants following Xu Mingyue kowtowed to Xu Jian. Xu Jian raised his hand and carefully protected Xu Mingyue as she headed towards the flower hall.

The folding fan in his hand was so powerful that it made the steps on Xu Mingyue's head jingle.

Xu Mingyue didn't stop her. Her father just hadn't seen her for too long and didn't know what kind of strength was just right.

"Dad, if you come to pick her up in person just a few steps away, your colleagues in the capital will laugh at your daughter tomorrow."

"That's me. Others laugh because they envy my father for having such a lovely daughter."

Xu Jian's expression was extremely complacent, and the fanning force in his hand became a little stronger: "Yaoyao, is it hot?"

The corner of Xu Mingyue's mouth curled up with a sweet smile: "Dad, it's a cool time in the morning. I'm not hot at all. I'm just afraid that I'll heat myself up if I fan myself for a long time."

Xu Jian was afraid that his anger would heat up Xu Mingyue, so he slightly distanced himself from Xu Mingyue and fanned him a little harder.

"My father is not hot at all. My father will fan Yaoyao for the rest of his life."

Entering the flower hall, Xu Mingyue said with a smile: "Auntie, second brother, I will get up early tomorrow and I won't let you wait for so long."

Lin Yan pulled Xu Mingyue to sit down, helped Xu Mingyue straighten her crooked Bu Yao, glanced at Xu Jian contemptuously, and said:

"We are all a family. We don't have to wait. We are all at home. Naturally, you can sleep as long as you want."

Holding Lin Yanxiangxiang's arm, Xu Mingyue rubbed it softly: "Auntie, you are the best to me."

"Obviously when we were in Deshui, we said that my second brother was the best to you."

Xu Minglang stirred the porridge with a spoon, like a son who was abandoned by a heartless woman, and lamented: "Sure enough, this girl's family's heart is unpredictable."

Xu Jian stared at Xu Minglang fiercely until Xu Minglang shut up, and then looked at Xu Mingyue with his loving eyes again.

Not interested in the breakfast in front of him, Xu Jian kept fanning Xu Mingyue, but because of Lin Yan's glare, the fanning force became weaker.

Seeing Xu Mingyue eating well, her eyebrows were filled with pride:

"Now you can eat well by yourself. You are worthy of being my Xu Jian's daughter."

"Hahaha."

A girl who is about to have haircuts should be praised for being able to make her own breakfast?

Xu Minglang really couldn't control his laughter.

Halfway through laughing, under Xu Jian's cold gaze, he had no choice but to hold back his laughter.

But that mouth had something else to say: "Dad, please fan yourself harder. Yaoyao will get married in the future. Even if you want to fan her, her husband-in-law won't give you a chance."

When Lin Yan heard Xu Minglang's angry words, he patted Xu Minglang several times with a round fan:

"I coaxed him for a long time last night. Today you provoke him again. If he gets angry again, he will deal with you tonight. I won't stop him."

Xu Jian didn't want to affect his family's Yaoyao meal, so he didn't take care of Xu Minglang immediately.

The moment Xu Mingyue put down her chopsticks, Xu Jian held the folding fan and dropped it on Xu Minglang, beating Xu Minglang until he ran away.

"Lang Geer, if you are a crow's mouth and don't pick up any pot, I will find you a wife with extraordinary martial arts and let her take care of you every day."

The three sons in the family have all reached the age of marriage. Xu Mingqing and Xu Minghuai are not with Xu Jian. Xu Minglang has to bear all his father's impulse to get married on his own.

Xu Minglang, who had been slapped hard by Xu Jian and grimaced in pain, did not forget to stop his father first:

"Hey, Dad, please don't ruin a girl from a good family. Your son and I are obsessed with money now. No one in this city likes your son or me."

Xu Jian chased some distance away and was not used to the feeling of empty palms. He subconsciously turned his head and walked towards Lin Yan, holding Lin Yan's hand firmly before continuing:

"Since you kid is self-aware and knows that you are not as popular as Yaoyao, then please control your mouth and stop being annoying."

Listening to the routine quarrel between father and son, mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled.

There is no prominent family in the capital that lives behind closed doors, as lively as theirs.

A family of four entered the 'Ya Feng Pavilion'. The pavilion had already been placed with fruits and vegetables. The landscape screens placed aside blocked the sun on three sides of the pavilion, leaving only one side for viewing lotus.

The summer wind slowly blew in with the fragrance of lotus in the pond, blowing away the coolness in the ice mirror and dispelling the heat that was gradually rising at this moment.

In accordance with Lin Yan's order, Xu's mother put the invitations that the Zhenguo Palace had received recently on the table, retreated outside the pavilion, and patrolled around the pavilion.

Lin Yan pushed these invitations in front of Xu Mingyue and said:

"Yaoyao, the lotus pink ones are all messages sent to you individually by girls from various prefectures. The navy blue ones are messages from the highest ranking nobles in the capital to the Duke of Zhenguo. The dark red ones are from the royal family. A message from a relative to the Duke of Zhenguo."

"It's been a while since you returned to the capital. Now that you've recovered your energy and spirit, where do you want to show up for the first time?"

The folding fan in Xu Jian's hand started to swing again, and he blurted out his favoritism: "If Yaoyao doesn't think it's too lively, I'll call everyone you want to see to the Duke's Mansion, and we'll hold a banquet in our own place. "

Xu Jian was naturally worried that Xu Mingyue would be wronged if she went to a banquet in someone else's mansion.

If he is bullied by others, who will he go to to reason with?

Holding a banquet in his own residence, he could find any reason for it, and it would be lively and peaceful at the same time.

As for the money for the banquet, this is what the Duke's mansion is in short supply of right now.
