"Master, the princess just sent a message saying that she will bring her son-in-law back home tomorrow!" Chuntao trotted to Jun Moli and excitedly reported the news.

After hearing this, Jun Moli nodded slightly to show that he understood, and then said, "Okay, then I'll go tell Lan'er right away." After that, he turned and walked towards the inner courtyard.

At this time, Jun Yue was happily planning to return home tomorrow. Lu Yunqi was also smiling at his wife, his eyes full of doting. They had been married for several years, but because Lu Yunqi went to war, he had not returned to Jun Mansion for two years. This time, they could go back to visit their family together, and Jun Yue was naturally full of anticipation and joy.

After a while, Jun Moli came to where Hua Xiulan was and said softly, "Lan'er, Yue'er just sent a message saying that she will be returning home tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Hua Xiulan's face immediately broke into a smile and she quickly responded, "That's great! Then I have to go to the kitchen to make some cakes that Yue'er likes." As she said that, she stood up and prepared to go to the kitchen.

Seeing this, Jun Moli smiled and pulled her back, teasing, "It's still tomorrow, why are you in such a hurry?"

Hua Xiulan gently slapped his hand away and said angrily, "Make some today so that Yoona can have a taste."

Jun Moli couldn't help but sighed: "Yes, Yun'er is the legitimate princess of Xiliang Kingdom. She married to our Qing Kingdom. It is not easy for her to go back to her parents' home."

Hua Xiu Lan nodded and agreed, "So, as parents-in-law, we must show more concern and care for others. Besides, Yoona gave us such a cute grandson, we should take good care of them both." After saying that, Hua Xiu Lan quickened her pace towards the kitchen and started to get busy.

Hua Xiulan was busy in the kitchen for a while and finally made some exquisite pastries. She put them on a plate and walked to the front hall.

At this time, Xie Yuner and Jun Yao were talking in the living room. Xie Yuner saw Hua Xiulan coming with cakes and greeted her happily.

"Mom, what delicious food did you make?" Xie Yuner asked.

"These are all your favorite pastries, come and try them." Hua Xiulan said with a smile.

Xie Yuner picked up a piece of cake and tasted it, praising it highly: "Mm, it's delicious! Mom's cooking is still the best."

Jun Yao also tasted a piece and nodded in approval. The family sat together, tasting the delicious cakes in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

Hua Xiulan felt extremely relieved when she saw her son and daughter-in-law were so happy. She hoped that their lives could always be so peaceful and beautiful.

"By the way, your cousin's daughter will be visiting our house today. She is a well-educated, gentle and lovely girl! You must remember to entertain her well and not be impolite!" Hua Xiulan admonished her son Jun Yao earnestly.

Jun Yao nodded slightly and replied, "Okay. Don't worry, mother. I will take good care of this cousin." He was as tall and straight as a pine tree, with a handsome face and a pair of deep eyes that revealed calmness and confidence.

At this time, there was a commotion at the door. It turned out that Jun Moli had returned. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the cakes on the table and couldn't help but pick up a piece and put it in his mouth.

"Dad, why are you acting like a child? This is for Mom and Yoona." Jun Yao said with a smile.

"I saw that this pastry was so delicately made that I couldn't help but try a piece. It tasted good. Lan'er's cooking skills are getting better and better." Jun Moli praised.

"You two only know how to eat, and don't even help greet the guests." Hua Xiulan said in pretended anger.

"Mom, where are the guests?" Jun Yao asked puzzledly.

"Look at your memory. Didn't I just tell you that your cousin will come to visit us today?" Hua Xiulan reminded.

"Oh, I forgot. But it's good that my cousin is here, so we can try the pastries made by mother together." Jun Yao said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman in a pink dress walked into the hall. She was Jun Yao's cousin Xu Xiangxiang.

Xu Xiangxiang walked slowly in front of everyone, bowed slightly, and said with her red lips: "Xiangxiang greets my aunt, uncle, cousin and cousin's wife."

Her voice was clear and melodious, like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley. When she raised her head, there was a faint smile on her pretty face, and her big watery eyes were as bright and moving as the twinkling stars in the night sky, making people feel pity and love.

"Xiangxiang is here, come and sit down." Hua Xiulan greeted Xu Xiangxiang warmly.

Xu Xiangxiang smiled and walked to the table and sat down, her eyes falling on the exquisite pastries. "Wow, what beautiful pastries! They look delicious."

"I'm glad you like it, cousin. Your aunt made it specially for you." Jun Yao said, handing Xu Xiangxiang a piece of cake.

Xu Xiangxiang took the cake, took a bite carefully, and savored it carefully. "Mm, it's delicious! My aunt's cooking skills are really superb, even better than the cook in our house."

"Xiangxiang, you're too kind. These are just some home-cooked snacks." Hua Xiulan said modestly.

"Auntie, you are so modest. This pastry is not only beautiful in appearance, but also tastes great. I must learn from you." Xu Xiangxiang looked at Hua Xiulan with envy.

"Haha, if Xiangxiang likes it, you can come often and ask your aunt to teach you how to make it." Jun Moli said with a smile.

"Thank you, uncle." Xu Xiangxiang said happily.

The family sat together, eating and chatting in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

At this time, a servant hurried over and whispered something in Jun Yao's ear. Jun Yao's face instantly became solemn. He stood up and said to everyone, "There is something going on in the palace. I need to go to the palace." After that, he turned and left.

Hua Xiulan looked at Jun Yao's back worriedly, and Xu Xiangxiang's eyes flashed with a hint of imperceptible pride. She turned her head and said to Hua Xiulan with a smile: "Aunt, don't worry, my cousin will definitely handle the matter."

However, only Xu Xiangxiang herself knew that the servant was actually sent by her to get Jun Yao away. She came to the Jun Mansion this time not just to eat cakes...

Hua Xiulan forced a smile and said, "I hope so." Upon seeing this, Xu Xiangxiang quickly changed the subject to avoid revealing her flaws.

During the chat, Xu Xiangxiang pretended to ask casually: "Aunt, I heard that the family is planning a banquet recently. I wonder who has been invited?" Hua Xiulan's heart moved. Could it be that she was planning a banquet? But she still replied calmly: "They are all relatives and friends. What's the matter, Xiangxiang, are you interested in participating?" Xu Xiangxiang's eyes lit up and nodded quickly: "Of course I am interested! I have never attended such a grand banquet." Hua Xiulan smiled and said: "Okay, I will definitely invite you when the time comes."

Xu Xiangxiang was secretly delighted. Her plan was coming true step by step. She wanted to shine at the banquet and make everyone look at her with new eyes. And this banquet would be her stepping stone to wealth and glory...

Xu Xiangxiang began to look forward to the banquet, thinking about how to show her beauty and talent at the banquet. So she secretly prepared gorgeous clothes and carefully rehearsed songs and dances.

At the same time, Hua Xiulan was also wary of Xu Xiangxiang's intentions. She decided to closely observe Xu Xiangxiang's every move at the banquet to prevent her from having any bad intentions.
