Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter
Chapter 79 Peony Banquet
Yi Chen puffed up his chubby cheeks and showed a happy smile on his face: "During this period, Chenchen has eaten on time every day and drank fishy-smelling milk, so he has grown taller."
Hearing Yi Chen's childish words, He Shulan laughed out loud and couldn't let go of Yi Chen.
"This kid knew I was coming to the Prince's Mansion, and he kept clamoring to follow me. It turns out he wanted to see you."
He Shulan looked at Li Shuanglian: "Yi Chen is still young, and is at the age of playing. He can come whenever he wants. Anyway, there are servants watching over the mansion."
Li Shuanglian took He Shulan's arm and walked into the Prince's Mansion: "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Why don't you come to play with me when you have time."
"Now that the power of the Prince's Mansion is in my hands, I am busy every day and don't have the extra time to go out and play with you."
Li Shuanglian's face was full of surprise: "How did you snatch the power of the household from the concubine?"
He Shulan did not elaborate: "I am the Princess of the Prince's Mansion. Since I married into the Prince's Mansion, the power to run the household will naturally be controlled by me."
"You can fool others with this, but you can't fool me. The prince favors the concubine in the mansion. Everyone in the capital knows that the concubine will not give up the power of the household so easily."
Seeing that Li Shuanglian was so interested, He Shulan revealed a little bit: "Of course, I used a little trick."
Li Shuanglian nodded in understanding and stopped talking about this topic. She came to the garden and was attracted by the colorful peonies in the yard.
He Shulan had to greet other guests and let the mother and son wander around the garden.
As time went by, more and more guests came. At this time, the noble ladies and wives of officials in the capital all noticed the clothes He Shulan was wearing: "Your clothes are so beautiful. Which embroidery workshop did you get them made in?"
Seeing that everyone had taken the bait, He Shulan turned around in a circle. Her apricot-colored dress emitted a soft light in the sunlight, and the peony flowers embroidered on the hem and cuffs seemed to be blooming as her dress swayed.
This amazed everyone, and more and more people gathered around and asked questions.
Seeing that the time had come, He Shulan replied, "Have you forgotten that the Prince's Mansion has its own cloth shop? The clothes I'm wearing were embroidered by the embroiderer in the cloth shop."
Everyone thought of the last time when Li Wanrong cut corners and passed off good materials as inferior ones, and they all became silent.
He Shulan did not give up and continued to lobby, telling everyone: "Now the power of the Prince's Mansion is in my hands, and I am also in charge of the shop. I will personally check the fabrics of the cloth shop, so don't worry too much."
Hearing this, everyone was hesitant, but the clothes on He Shulan were not only beautiful in style, but also made of very good fabrics. With He Shulan in charge, the last incident should not happen again: "Apart from apricot, do you have any other colors for your clothes?"
"Yes, we have customized colors. You can also tell the embroiderer what color you want. However, you will have to wait a little longer because the embroiderer will dye the color for you," He Shulan replied.
"I want blue."
“I want yellow.”
“I want green.”
The goal was achieved. He Shulan smiled from ear to ear. She asked Chunxia to write it down with a pen: "I will ask the embroiderer to come to your house to measure your measurements tomorrow."
At this time, the servants in the mansion brought the prepared snacks and placed them on the small round table in the garden.
The plates for the snacks were carefully selected by He Shulan. The two-layer shelves made the snacks placed on them look much higher quality.
Everyone walked to the small round table, looked at the colorful snacks on it, and asked He Shulan curiously: "Where did you buy these snacks? How come we have never seen them before?"
"Look at your memory. You have forgotten again that there is a snack shop in the Prince's Mansion." He Shulan replied with a smile.
"We have been buying snacks from the snack shop in the Prince's Mansion for many years. We have never seen or eaten the snacks on the table."
He Shulan picked up the crystal clear, petal-shaped dessert and put it in her mouth: "This is a new dessert from the dessert shop. I specially brought it for everyone to try."
Everyone knew the motive behind He Shulan's hosting of the Peony Banquet this time. Seeing that He Shulan looked normal after finishing the snacks, the brave ones reached out and took a few pieces of snacks to eat.
Yi Chen was attracted by the snacks on the table, so he walked to the table, stood on tiptoe, and felt around on the shelf with his chubby little hands. He found a snack and stuffed it into his mouth. The crispy taste made him unable to stop eating, and he muttered incoherently, "It's delicious."
He Shulan wanted to laugh when she saw it.
More and more people came to eat the dim sum. Everyone was conquered by the taste of the dim sum. Not only were they delicious but they also looked good. They all clamored to buy them.
……
Li Wanrong, who was resting in bed, heard the noise, put on her clothes and walked out of the room, asking Xing'er, "Is there anything going on in the mansion today? Why is it so noisy?"
"The Princess of the County held a peony banquet, and all the noble ladies and wives of officials in the capital came to the County Prince's Mansion."
Li Wanrong snorted coldly: "This He Shulan, now that she has the power to manage the Prince's Mansion, she has started to show off everywhere."
"That's right." Xing'er echoed, "Besides, Auntie is also considered half the master of the Prince's Mansion. How could she not inform you when she held such a banquet?"
Li Wanrong touched her belly and said, "He Shulan probably doesn't want the noble ladies and official wives in the capital to see that I'm pregnant."
Xing'er didn't respond, for she was afraid that she might say something wrong and upset Li Wanrong.
The laughter like silver bells floated above the courtyard. Li Wanrong couldn't resist the curiosity in her heart, so she climbed up the wall and looked at the lively scene in the garden.
Li Shuanglian, who was holding her son and watching the koi by the lake, heard a squeaking sound. She looked up and saw Li Wanrong lying on the wall. She couldn't help laughing and said, "Auntie Li, do you want to come to the garden and play with us?"
Being seen in such an embarrassing state, Li Wanrong's fair cheeks instantly turned red: "No, I'm not feeling well, so I won't come to the garden to play with you."
She climbed down the wall in a panic, but missed a step and fell into the lake in the garden.
With a splash, splashing water fell on Li Shuanglian and Yi Chen.
Yi Chen was so scared that he fell into Li Shuanglian's arms: "Mother, someone fell into the water."
Only then did Li Shuanglian react and shouted that someone had fallen into the lake.
He Shulan, who was greeting guests, recognized that the person who fell into the lake was Li Wanrong. He immediately asked Chunxia to get a blanket, while he went to the outer courtyard and called a few servants who could swim to fish Li Wanrong out of the lake.
Before everyone gathered around, He Shulan covered Li Wanrong with a blanket to prevent everyone from seeing her bulging belly: "Hurry up and send Aunt Li back to her room."
