Chapter 141 The Orion's Daughter
Chapter 141 The Orion's Daughter
When Mu Yexiao heard Qian Jiujiu's words, his eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Jiu'er, is it really okay?"
Qian Jiujiu looked at Mu Yexiao's bright eyes, thinking that it was difficult for Mu Yexiao to endure all this time, so she nodded and looked at Mu Yexiao.
Although she blushed, she still said boldly: "It's ok, just don't overdo it, just pay attention to your stomach."
Mu Yexiao naturally nodded and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Don't worry, Jiu'er, I will take it easy."
Early the next morning, the butler came with those skilled craftsmen, but at the gate of Wangfei's courtyard, Qian Jiujiu was sleeping and thinking about it!
The housekeeper looked at Hongling: "Hongling, is the princess awake?"
Hong Ling shook her head: "No! The lord ordered not to wake up the wangfei. You have to wait for the wangfei to wake up by herself. Do you have something to do?"
The housekeeper looked at Hong Ling with a troubled expression: "But these masters are here, and the princess needs to give instructions."
While talking, Xiao Man had already arrived in the courtyard, and Chen Da was still following behind him. Last night, Xiao Man and Qian Jiujiu had a discussion, and they told Chen Da about the matter after returning.
Chen Da also knew that he would be very busy in the next period of time, busy helping Qian Jiujiu build the hot spring villa, while Hongyue was recuperating in the palace.
After Hongyue's injury healed, he and Hongyue got married. The two came to the yard and looked at Hongling: "Hongling, is the princess up?"
Hong Ling looked at it and wanted to shake her head: "Not yet, the slaves are worrying, and I don't know when the princess will wake up, these masters of skilled craftsmen are here."
Xiaoman glanced at the masters over there, as well as the housekeeper, and walked over directly: "Housekeeper, my sister told me yesterday that today I will take these masters to the mountain for a field trip."
"The prince has already left this matter to daddy. Dad will lead the way. Don't wake up my sister. My dad can take these masters with me."
The housekeeper also knew who Xiaoman was in front of him: "Since Miss Xiaoman said so, I have to trouble Miss Xiaoman and Mr. Chen."
It was the first time for Chen Da to be called Mr. Chen, and he was a little embarrassed: "Look at what the housekeeper said, what is your name, Mr. I am a rough man, if you don't mind, just call me Brother Chen."
The corner of the butler's mouth twitched twice, he couldn't be related to Chen Da, and Hongling also knew that the concubine and the prince talked with Xiao Man for a long time yesterday.
This is probably what they were talking about. Seeing the butler hand over the matter directly to Chen Da, she didn't stop her. The courtyard that was bustling just now became quiet all of a sudden.
Here Chen Da and Xiao Man had already taken the masters up the mountain, but Qian Jiujiu slept until almost noon, and Mu Yexiao came back, so he stretched himself.
Opening his eyes lazily, he saw Mu Yexiao sitting by the table smiling and looking at her: "Are you awake? You can really sleep, you little lazy pig."
Qian Jiujiu blinked her eyes in embarrassment: "What time is it now? You came back early?"
Mu Yexiao became even more amusing: "It's almost noon now, are you hungry?"
Hearing Mu Yexiao's words, Qian Jiujiu was secretly surprised that she was able to sleep so well, and it just so happened that her stomach made a cooing sound, and Qian Jiujiu touched her stomach.
"Mu Yexiao, I'm hungry."
Seeing Qian Jiujiu's cute appearance, Mu Yexiao nodded Qian Jiujiu's nose amusedly: "Understood, Hongling, pass on lunch."
As he said that, he actually dressed Qian Jiujiu himself, Qian Jiujiu didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and it was taken for granted that Mu Yexiao waited on him to get dressed.
After a brief wash, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao had lunch together. Qian Jiujiu hadn't forgotten to look at Hongling: "Hongling, did anything happen today?"
Hong Ling told about Xiaoman and Chen Da, and said that the group of masters had gone up the mountain, so Qian Jiujiu stopped paying attention to this matter.
Instead, he had a good meal with Mu Yexiao, and Qian Jiujiu seemed to have arranged everything for the next one, and there was nothing. In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the recognition banquet.
This doesn't require any ceremony, it just needs to introduce Xiao Man on this day, and Hong Ling is very busy this day, she wants to prevent anyone who gets close to Qian Jiujiu.
After all, Qian Jiujiu's belly is almost five months old now, and her belly has obviously grown a lot. No one can touch her. The invitation was sent out a week ago.
And today they invited people here under the pretext of admiring the flowers, and sure enough, since the morning, some ladies and ladies had already arrived, and Qian Jiujiu was wearing loose clothes.
Sitting in the pavilion and waiting for people to come, after all the weather is still a bit cold, naturally it is not possible to entertain guests in the courtyard, so Qian Jiujiu chose the pavilion as the place.
Fortunately, the pavilion Mu Yexiao built was big enough for this pavilion, and there were gray wolves, who used transparent gauze to cover the wind and could still see the outside scenery, but this transparent gauze made the scenery even more unique.
From the view from the door, Qian Jiujiu arranged a round table this time, with a pot of flowers, some pastries, tea, etc. on it.
Seeing that almost everyone has come, Xiaoman is also dressed very well today, wearing a pink skirt, looking like a wow who came out of a New Year picture.
The one made of powder and jade is so cute that people can't help but feel joy rising from their hearts. Qian Jiujiu took Xiaoman with her, because today everyone was paying attention to Xiaoman.
No one found out about Qian Jiujiu's pregnancy today, but a few people found out that after a winter, Qian Jiujiu had gained a lot of weight.
Regardless of this question, it's hard for people who are not familiar with it to ask, so they can only look at Qian Jiujiu with a dry smile. After everyone is seated, Qian Jiujiu is holding a wine glass.
"It's an ordinary tea party after entering. Everyone sits together and chats and relax. By the way, my princess will introduce to you. This is my righteous sister, Chen Man'er."
Xiaoman looked at the crowd with a smile, he was already happy, but this smile made people like him even more, and this Xiaoman looked like a very lucky person.
The wives looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Congratulations to the princess for getting such an excellent younger sister."
That's what they said, but no one knew what these people were thinking, but right now Qian Jiujiu was still in front of her, looking at Xiao Man with a smile.
Some ladies were even jealous in their hearts. Chen Man'er, who got out of this place, must be very lucky. One lady was a little curious, so she asked directly.
"Why haven't I heard of this Chen Man'er before? Which family's lady is it?"
One of the ladies obviously knew the inside story. After all, some well-informed families knew about Xiaoman being kidnapped by human traffickers. At that time, she was talking about the concubine's adopted sister.
Of course, there was a righteous sister suddenly, and everyone who knew the news would inevitably go to investigate, so at this banquet, there were not a few people who knew the identity of Chen Man'er.
"Miss from which family, she's just a hunter's daughter."
"ah……"
The young lady who spoke just now exclaimed, then shut up in embarrassment, glanced at Qian Jiujiu, and was relieved to find that Qian Jiujiu didn't pay attention to her.
"Are you telling the truth? How can the princess recognize a peasant girl as a righteous sister? Isn't she afraid of losing face?"
The lady who exposed Xiao Man's identity just now said something again, and even sneered: "What's there to be ashamed of? Don't forget, she herself was born as a peasant girl."
"Although she is Miss Shangshu, she is just a concubine, and she grew up in the farm."
After saying this, everyone remembered that Qian Jiujiu's background was all due to what Qian Jiujiu had done these days, which almost made them forget about Qian Jiujiu's background.
And the conversation between the two people was quite loud, so naturally everyone around them heard it, and everyone was a little interested. I don't know how to answer these words, but fortunately at this time.
The housekeeper outside suddenly came to tell Qian Jiujiu a message: "Princess, Mrs. Zheng Guogong brought Miss Zheng here."
Qian Jiujiu froze for a moment, what's going on? She didn't send an invitation to Zheng Guogong's mansion, because Zheng Fu is going to marry the third prince, so naturally everyone will be enemies in the future.
Qian Jiujiu didn't have the heart to greet the enemy, so she didn't invite her this time, because she didn't expect that the mother and daughter had thick skins.
He actually came by himself, but everyone has come, and in front of so many people, it is not easy to drive them away directly, so we had to hum: "Please come in."
Mrs. Zheng Guogong, mother and daughter just walked in. Mrs. Zheng Guogong watched Qian Jiujiu get cured, but she looked at Qian Jiujiu with a smile on her face.
"Oh, Wangfei's house is so lively today. Fortunately, my wife is here today. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a big event missed?"
Qian Jiujiu just smiled perfunctorily, and looked at Madam Zheng Guogong: "Madam is wonderful, this is just a tea party, not a grand event."
Seeing that Zheng Guogong and his daughter had already found a seat and sat down, the corners of Qian Jiujiu's mouth twitched, and he heard Mrs. Zheng Guogong's words.
"The tea party is fine too, Fu'er, sit down, let's have a lively chat with the other ladies."
Hearing this, Qian Jiujiu directly ignored the mother and daughter. She thought it would be good to have a pair of people who are an eyesore, but who would have thought that the butler would report again.
"Princess, Mrs. Qian, Miss Qian Yuge is here."
Qian Jiujiu couldn't help frowning, are these people trying to ruin her banquet today? It's a pity that she couldn't coax these people away directly: "Let them in."
