Chapter 2138 Visitors

The sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky. Mingyu and the others arrived at the Lu family early in the morning.

Mrs. Pei had already been waiting at the gate with Su Xiaoxiao and the others. When she saw Mingyu getting off the carriage, she couldn't hide her excitement, "Mingyu, let grandma take a look."

"Grandma." Mingyu smiled sweetly, threw herself into Pei's arms and coquettishly said, "I miss you."

"Little rascal, if you miss grandma, why haven't you come to see me until now?" Mrs. Pei wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. In the past few years, she had finally looked forward to the return of her daughter and grandson, but before they could get together properly, they left Kyoto again. In the city, her granddaughter has not left the palace for more than half a year, and her hair turns gray thinking about it.

Mingyu said aggrievedly, "I also want to leave the palace to visit you, but my father won't let me leave the palace."

Pei knew that Mingyu had met an assassin in the palace before, so the emperor kept her in the palace to protect Mingyu.

"Come in quickly, grandma will prepare a lot of delicious food for you." Ms. Pei held Mingyu's hand and greeted Mingxi as a group of people walked into the Lu family.

Su Xiaoxiao brought his son Lu Xianglan over. Although he had not seen Mingyu for a long time, he still recognized Mingyu at a glance and smiled shyly at Mingyu.

"Xiang Lan, do you want to go to the temple fair with us tomorrow? There are trees and flowers to see this year." Mingyu asked Lu Xianglan.

"Why are you going to watch this? It's better to watch the fireworks at home." Ms. Pei said. There were too many people watching the flowers, and a few children would inevitably be bumped into.

Mingyu said, "I'm tired of watching fireworks. I haven't seen what it's like to hit a tree with flowers."

"Grandma, don't worry, we will be careful. By the way, where is grandpa?" Mingxi asked. Lu Shiming entered the palace yesterday, but there was no news until night. I don't know what happened to his sixth uncle.

Mr. Pei said, "He stayed in the study yesterday, and he should be in the study now. I'll have someone call him."

"Grandma, I can just go by myself." Mingxi said.

Mingyu, Mio and the others were eating snacks and talking in the backyard. After a while, they heard that a guest had arrived.

Mrs. Pei was stunned. She knew that Mingyu and the others were coming today, so she didn't invite anyone to her home. Could it be that someone who didn't know had something wrong?

"Which guest is it?" If he is a friendly person, he will be sent back.

"Madam, it's Madam Su here." The maid replied in a low voice.

Mrs. Pei looked at Su Xiaoxiao in surprise. Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao looked flustered, she knew that Mrs. Su's visit to the Lu family today was not by chance.

"Mrs. Su, please come to the hall." Ms. Pei said calmly, turning to Mingxi and the others, "You guys play here, I'll go and entertain the guests."

"Okay." Mingyu nodded.

"Xiaoxiao, come with me. Mrs. Su is coming to the door right now. Maybe she has something important to ask you," said Pei.

"Yes, mother." Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head and followed Pei to the hall.

In the hall, a middle-aged woman wearing dark purple clothes was looking eagerly. Seeing Mrs. Pei and Su Xiaoxiao walking one after another, she stood up uncontrollably and looked behind them. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when I didn't see anyone else.

"Mrs. Su, I didn't know you were coming. I was not prepared at all, so I was negligent." Mrs. Pei walked over with a smile and greeted Mrs. Su.

"Someone else gave me two baskets of lychees, and I brought one basket for you to try." Mrs. Su quickly hid the disappointment on her face and said to Mr. Pei with a smile.

Mr. Pei smiled and said, "That's so embarrassing. Lychees are just now available in the south. It takes a lot of effort to deliver them to Kyoto City."

"No, that's why we have to deliver it as soon as possible while it's fresh." Mrs. Su stepped forward and held Ms. Pei's hand, "You haven't been to our party for several days, so I came to see you."

"Xiao Xiao is pregnant and Xiang Zhi is not at home, so I am a little busy." Mrs. Pei smiled and sat down in the hall with Mrs. Su.

Mrs. Su glanced at her daughter with a smile. Her daughter was living a harmonious and beautiful life, and she, as a mother, felt at ease.

"Thank you for your hard work, mother-in-law." Mrs. Su glanced at Mr. Pei gratefully.

Mrs. Pei smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Xiaoxiao is my daughter-in-law and also my child."

When Su Xiaoxiao heard what Pei said, her face flushed, and she whispered to Mrs. Su, "Mother..."

"I heard that the princess is also here. Let Xiaoxiao bring some lychees for the princess to taste." Mrs. Su said.

"Okay, Xiaoxiao, then go get some lychees and give them to Mingyu and Mier." Pei turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed. She now regretted telling Mrs. Su that Mingyu would come to the Lu family today. She never expected that her mother would come to the house today, "Okay, I'll go right away."

"Mrs. Lu..." Mrs. Su coughed lightly, "I took the liberty of coming here today because I actually have another thing to do."

Holding a teacup in her hand, Ms. Pei asked with a smile, "Oh, what else?"

"It's like this. Although I only gave birth to a daughter, Xiaoxiao, I actually have two daughters. As you know, Xiaoxiao's aunt and uncle died of illness one after another, leaving only one daughter. Such a small person, I have raised her by my side since she was a child. She is a few years younger than Xiaoxiao. I raised her as a little daughter, and now she has become Jieyu in the palace. After so long, let alone seeing her once, even she I don’t know what’s going on in the palace, I just want to get some news about my niece from the princess’s mouth,” Mrs. Su said in a low voice.

So that’s it! Mrs. Pei understood, and she sighed, "I understand your feelings, but I don't know how much Mingyu can know."

She understood Mrs. Su's mood. She was also worried when Yaoyao entered the palace.

"As long as I can hear a few words, I'm satisfied." Mrs. Su said hurriedly.

Mrs. Pei hesitated for a moment, thinking that Mrs. Su was still her biological mother, so it would be a bad idea to refuse, "Then... I will take you to meet the princess. Mingyu is a soft-hearted person. If she knows, she will definitely tell you Said."

Mrs. Su looked overjoyed, "That's great."

Mingyu and Mio were eating lychees. Mio had never eaten them before, so she found them very novel and sweet.

"Let me tell you, lychee wine is better." Mingyu said with a smile, "I drank it secretly, but I hid it from my father."

Mi'er's eyes lit up, "Really? Where can I find lychee wine?"

"There is one in the imperial kitchen in the palace, but it is the private treasure of the fat father-in-law. I will take you to find him secretly next time." Mingyu said softly.

"Mingyu!" Pei came over with a smile.

Mrs. Su looked straight at Mingyu. This was the princess whom the emperor regarded as the apple of his eye. She was indeed as exquisite as jade, making people want to feel pain at the sight of her.
