Chapter 204 Dong Ling is showing off his power, I'm gonna beat you up
"Fourth cousin, am I very annoying?" Liao Yunfei turned his gaze to the young man beside him.
"No, no, sister Qingqing is straightforward, don't think too much." After the boy finished speaking, he quickly patted another younger boy beside him and said, "Ninth brother, let's go pick up father and the others!"
When Xiaojiu was called, he immediately grabbed his fourth brother's hand and rushed out.
Several young masters had already dismounted from their horses and turned to look at the carriage of the princess and Ji Chuhe.
Ji Chuhe got off the carriage first and waited for the princess.
"We're here, we're finally here!" The princess looked excited and looked towards the gate of the mansion as soon as she got off the carriage.
"Father, mother." Her voice was choked with sobs, and then her eyes were blurred with tears. "He'er, An'er, follow mother to meet your grandfather and grandmother."
"Yes, mother." Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an responded in unison.
The two followed the princess and came before the elderly Duke and the old lady.
"Father, Mother, I'm back." Due to her status as a princess, she could not kowtow. Looking at the white hair on her parents' heads, she could no longer control her tears and fell.
Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an knelt down, "Grandson, granddaughter-in-law, greet grandpa and grandmother."
"Get up! Get up!"
The old duke and the old lady helped Xiao Yan'an up one by one and Ji Chuhe up the other.
The old lady held Ji Chuhe's hand, her eyes full of kindness. She was no stranger to Ji Chuhe.
The princess had mentioned it in the letter a long time ago, and now that I see it, it is even better than what she said in the letter.
"Good boy, you have worked hard along the way." The old lady patted Ji Chuhe's hand gently.
"Grandma, it's not hard." Ji Chuhe shook her head.
"You kid, you are actually taller than your grandfather. Not bad! Not bad!" The old Duke looked at Xiao Yan'an with eyes full of love.
Xiao Yanan looked at the dignified yet kind old man in front of him, and gradually recovered some of his childhood memories. The last time he came back with his mother, his grandfather personally made him a bow and arrow and taught him archery.
"Grandfather, I'm back to see you again."
"Grandfather has been thinking every day about when he can see you again. Now, his wish has finally come true."
"Father, Mother, let's go inside and talk!" the eldest son reminded.
"Yes, yes, Xiaowu, let's go inside and talk." The old lady waved to the princess.
He pulled the princess and Ji Chuhe together and walked inside.
In order to welcome the princess and her entourage, Duke Rong's Mansion held a grand family banquet.
The first wife, Mrs. Liao, was in charge of the household affairs and had been doing everything herself for a long time, fearing that something might be inconsiderate.
The princess, Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yanan entered the main courtyard.
Dong Ling and Xu Yan'er followed the servants to another courtyard, and Liao also arranged a banquet for the servants of the palace.
Xu Yan'er looked unhappy all the way and had no appetite despite the table full of delicious food.
Everyone else in the palace was very happy.
"As expected of the imperial capital, the food is so delicious!"
"The Duke, his wife, and several other young masters really dote on our princess. They even arranged such a sumptuous banquet for us servants."
"Then there's no need to say it!"
"Stop talking nonsense and eat more."
Dong Ling finished a bowl of rice and handed the bowl to the maid beside her, "Give me another bowl of rice!"
"Okay, aunt." The maid turned around immediately.
Dong Ling glanced at Xu Yan'er, raised his hand and knocked on the table in front of Xu Yan'er.
"Mrs. Xu, why are you not eating properly? You don't want to follow the prince to the main courtyard for a feast, do you?"
"I didn't!" Xu Yan'er immediately retorted.
"It's useless even if you think about it! We are concubines and we must recognize our own identities." Dong Ling couldn't help but teach her a lesson.
"Eat your meal! Why are you talking so much nonsense! Don't think you can tell me what to do just because you helped me!" Xu Yan'er picked up the bowl and took two mouthfuls of rice.
"I warn you again, this is the Duke of Rong's Mansion, don't bring out the trick you used to seduce the prince in Huaiyang and embarrass yourself!"
"Dong Ling, are you done yet?" Xu Yan'er dropped her chopsticks and stood up.
Dong Ling pulled Xu Yan'er back and glared at her fiercely, "I'm telling you, if you dare to be so cheap and embarrass my wife, I will punish you. Do you believe it?"
Just as Xu Yan'er was about to retort, she noticed two sharp gazes falling on her.
One comes from Qingluo, and the other comes from Mianzhu.
She had no choice but to sit down obediently, picked up her chopsticks and continued eating.
"Hmph!" Dong Ling thought that she had frightened Xu Yan'er and felt a little proud.
The maid also brought the meal over and she took it and ate it in big mouthfuls.
Although she wasn't hungry during the journey, she didn't eat very well either. In order to give birth to a fat and fair son, she had to eat more delicious food from the Duke's Mansion!
……
In the main courtyard, the banquet has just begun.
When family members meet, there is so much to say, and they don't want to delay the banquet, so they just chat while eating.
The princess had only met her eldest and second sisters-in-law. When she came back fifteen years ago, her third and fourth brothers were not yet married.
Among her four brothers who got married, she only attended the wedding of her eldest brother.
When I came here fifteen years ago, I only had three nephews and nieces in total. Now, there are more than a dozen.
"Xiaowu, in order to make it easier for you to identify them, let me introduce them to you one by one." The eldest son stood up and waved towards the table of children, and five children came over.
The five children stood behind him and Liao.
"Second brother, it's your turn."
The second young master also waved his hand, and the four children quickly stood up and ran behind the couple.
"Children, come here." The third young master also shouted.
Also four children.
The fourth child smiled and waved to the children, and the two youngest ones ran over.
There was a girl of about sixteen or seventeen left at the table, sitting there alone, wringing her handkerchief, looking embarrassed and ashamed.
Ji Chuhe was a little surprised.
Isn’t this young lady from the Duke’s Mansion?
However, apparently no one cared about this girl at this moment.
It is indeed much easier to distinguish them when each family stands together.
After introducing all the people in the four families, Liao finally thought of her niece.
"Yun Fei." She called out.
Liao Yunfei immediately stood up and walked towards Liao.
"This is my brother's daughter. She is a miserable child. Her mother died young and she herself is not in good health. So I brought her to the imperial capital to recuperate in the Duke's Mansion."
"This child is well-behaved and sensible, but he is too introverted and doesn't like to talk much." The old lady said to the princess and Ji Chuhe.
"Fifth sister, if you don't mind, let Yunfei follow Qingqing and call you aunt."
"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? They are our own children, so of course I should call them aunt." The princess responded with a smile.
"Yun Fei, go meet your aunt."
Liao Yunfei immediately stepped forward and saluted the princess, calling out softly, "Aunt."
"Good child, no need to be so polite." The princess raised her hand.
"Thank you, aunt." After Liao Yunfei stood up, she secretly glanced at Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an.
