Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter

The old man touched his head. He didn't want to listen to the old lady's nagging, and he didn't want to be turned away by the old lady next time he came to the Prince's Mansion and not be able to see his grandson: "He insisted on wielding the spear in front of me, so that I can see if his spear has improved."

The Prince: “…” It was clearly his grandfather who asked him to wield the spear, but he didn’t say a word in front of the old lady.

The old lady knew Yuan Qing very well. When he came back from the frontier, he went to the Prince's Mansion to see the Prince. Seeing that the Prince had a good skeleton and was a martial arts genius, he found her and intended to take the Prince away to teach him military tactics and martial arts. She did not agree. The old man actually hid it from her and secretly taught the Prince martial arts: "Yuan Qing, stop talking nonsense here. I know it was you who asked the Prince to dance with the spear."

Yuan Qing, who was seen through, stopped quibbling. Seeing He Shulan standing there, who was beautiful and elegant, he immediately changed the subject: "This is my granddaughter-in-law."

"Yes." The old lady took He Shulan's hand and introduced her, "This is the prince's grandfather. When the prince got married, he was in the frontier and didn't come to attend your wedding. Now he has returned from the frontier and came to the prince's mansion to see you." At this point, she lowered her voice a little: "Don't forget to ask him for a gift for meeting and a gift for your marriage."

Although the old lady's voice was low, Yuan Qing still heard it. He snorted in dissatisfaction: "Am I so stingy?"

"When you entered the Prince's Mansion, I saw that you had nothing in your hands. You didn't bring anything."

Yuan Qing retorted unconvincedly: "I didn't give them those tacky gold and silver jewelry."

This aroused the curiosity of the old lady: "You have to give them the things you gave them anyway, so take them out now and let me see what rare treasures you gave them."

Yuan Qing did not block the old lady's anger, and took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve: "This is the detoxification pill I brought back from the border. As long as you are not poisoned by a strange poison, it can be cured." After saying that, he raised his eyebrows proudly at the old lady.

This gift is indeed more valuable than gold, silver and jewelry. The old lady could not find any fault with it and had to admire Yuan Qing: "You are thoughtful."

"Of course I care about my grandson and grandson's wife." Yuan Qing retorted unconvincedly and stuffed the porcelain bottle in his hand into He Shulan's hand.

He Shulan was very satisfied with the gift from Yuan Qing. Living in the capital city where good and bad people mixed together, it was inevitable that someone would secretly poison her. This medicine could save her life at a critical moment: "Thank you, Grandfather."

He Shulan's clear voice was like a mountain spring, pleasant and melodious. Yuan Qing turned his head and looked at the prince: "Much better than Li Wanrong."

The prince did not respond. When he first met Li Wanrong, they were very affectionate and sweet. He brought the girl he liked to meet his grandfather, but his grandfather looked down on her. He thought Li Wanrong was frivolous and spoke without manners or rules.

"Okay, stop standing here chatting, come in and eat," the old lady urged.

At the dinner table, Yuan Qing kept asking about He Shulan's family background.

He Shulan did not hide anything and told Yuan Qing the truth.

After learning about He Shulan's family background, Yuan Qing was even more satisfied. The Princess of a County should be the legitimate daughter of an aristocratic family.

After lunch, Yuan Qing and the Prince went to the study. The door of the study was closed tightly, and no one knew what they were doing in there.

The old lady habitually took a nap, so He Shulan waited until she fell asleep, returned to her own courtyard, and began to prepare for the Peony Banquet. She sat at the desk and thought about it, then took out the invitations for the wives of officials and noble ladies who had dealings with the Prince's Mansion and began to write an invitation list.

After finishing her work, it was already evening. She handed the written invitation to Chunxia: "Tomorrow, you lead the servants in the mansion to deliver the invitations to various mansions in the capital."

"Okay." Chunxia held the post and left the room.

Over ten days ago, Liu Niang from the cloth shop came to the Prince's Mansion with the finished clothes and said, "Princess, please try the clothes on and see if the size is right."

With the help of her maid, He Shulan put on her clothes. The apricot gauze skirt emitted a soft light under the sunlight, making her skin look whiter and her temperament more gentle.

Liu Niang couldn't help but admire: "The princess looks so beautiful and gentle in this dress."

He Shulan smiled but said nothing. She did this so that the noble ladies and wives of officials in the capital would continue to go to the cloth shop to buy cloth and make finished clothes. If they continued like this, the cloth shop would be closed. "I am very satisfied with the clothes. Thank you for your hard work these days."

Liu Niang smiled and replied, "It's not hard to work for the princess."

At this time, Li Biao, the owner of the dim sum shop, walked in with a smile on his face, carrying a box.

He Shulan teased, "Have you discussed it? Come to the Prince's Mansion on the same day."

Li Biao and Liu Niang smiled at each other.

"We definitely didn't agree to come to the Prince's Mansion together. It was really a coincidence." Li Biao put the box in his hand on the table, put out the prepared snacks, and took only one piece of each.

The colorful snacks on the table were very eye-catching. The most unique thing was the transparent pastry. Not only was it beautiful, but its rich aroma also whetted people's appetite. He Shulan took the pastry and stuffed it into her mouth. It was sweet but not greasy, and it also had the fragrance of flowers. She nodded with satisfaction and ate a few other snacks in succession. The taste was better than she expected: "In such a short time, you have made all the pastries."

"It was because you provided a complete list of ingredients that the chef was able to make the pastry so quickly."

He Shulan praised: "You are worthy of being a master chef. The remaining cakes are for you to eat."

Chunxia and Qiudong had been with He Shulan for a long time and knew that she was easy-going, so they picked up the pastries on the table and started eating.

Seeing Li Biao and Liu Niang standing there without moving, He Shulan asked in confusion, "Why don't you go have some snacks?"

"This snack is so expensive, it would be a waste to give it to us," Liu Niang replied hesitantly.

"It's just a few snacks. There's no need to be so reserved." He Shulan picked up the snacks on the table and handed them to the two of them.

Li Biao and Liu Niang then took it, picked up the exquisite snacks on the plate and started eating.

.......

There were many guests invited to this banquet, so He Shulan invited a gardener to come to the back garden and rearrange the blooming peonies.

The old lady loved peonies very much, and there were many rare varieties of peonies in the garden, including two seven-color peonies.

Soon the day of the banquet arrived, and the first guest to arrive was Li Shuanglian, the daughter-in-law of the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor, who walked down from the carriage holding her son Yi Chen's hand.

Yi Chen saw He Shulan standing at the gate, broke free from Li Shuanglian's hand, ran over to hug He Shulan, and called in a soft voice, "Auntie."

He Shulan reached out and picked up Yi Chen, touching his chubby face: "Long time no see, you have not only grown taller but also fatter."
