Chapter 298 Ming Wan'er Returns
The palace was extremely busy.
The Cining Palace was filled with joy, and the Empress Dowager's usually serious face was now full of smiles.
"Empress Dowager, you look so happy that Miss Ming has returned! Your smile hasn't faded in the past few days!"
"Of course! That girl grew up in my presence. She's closer to me than my own granddaughter! I haven't seen her for a long time. I miss her so much!"
The Queen Mother spoke with tears in her eyes.
"She's back, Queen Mother. Miss Ming is at the palace gate!"
"Okay, okay! I'm going to take a look!"
……
At the gate of the palace.
Ming Wan'er's return home was a grand occasion, far exceeding the expected ceremony.
At first glance, it was crowded with people, escorted by many officers and soldiers, and the formation was full.
The carriage stopped, and Ming Wan'er appeared in front of everyone with a bright red dress and a ninth-grade phoenix crown on her head and a sweet smile.
Chu Wanyu, as the Princess of War, stood in front of Xiao Lijing and muttered softly, "Another enemy is back, it's going to be lively!"
Xiao Lijing nodded lightly, his expression calm, as if he didn't take Ming Wan'er seriously at all.
The palace held a banquet to welcome Ming Wan'er's return.
The sound of stringed instruments rang out and the dancers began to dance gracefully.
It's the same old thing again.
Chu Wanyu had long been tired of seeing it and was thinking of sneaking out to enjoy the scenery.
Ming Wan'er came over, "Prince and Princess, long time no see!"
"That's right! We won't see each other for a long time from now on!" Chu Wanyu replied with a smile.
Ming Wan'er's face froze, and she raised the corner of her mouth. "I heard that the prince and princess haven't consummated their marriage yet. I don't know when they'll have children. And what about the prince's eyes? Sigh, what a pity..."
He said it was a pity.
But the gloating in his tone was hard to conceal.
Allen Chu, who was not far away, walked over quickly and echoed: "Yes, the prince used to be the God of War, but now he can only stay in the capital. As for my sister...ah!"
Another sigh.
The two people sang in unison.
They cooperated very well.
Looking at them so proudly, Chu Wanyu's mouth twitched, "Yes, yes, Wan'er, you can have as many children as you can. As for the prince's eyes, I will be his eyes from now on! He can't leave me!"
As she spoke, she took Xiao Lijing's arm and leaned her head delicately on his shoulder, showing their intimacy.
From beginning to end, she never even looked at Chu Ruoran, as if she was just a clown who was not worth paying attention to.
"You..." Ming Wan'er's face changed drastically, and jealousy was about to overflow from her eyes.
Chu Ruoran, who was standing aside, clenched his fists tightly, with murderous intent in his eyes.
Chu Wanyu ignored the murderous gaze, pinched her throat, and said softly, "Your Majesty, today's fruit is very sweet, try it!"
With onion-like fingers, she held a grape and brought it to his mouth.
Xiao Lijing opened his mouth in cooperation.
His fingers gently touched her thin lips.
A burning heat surged in his heart, and he felt his whole body stiffen and tense.
As the grapes enter your mouth, the sweetness spreads throughout your mouth.
What's even sweeter is the heart.
He lowered his eyes and saw the little woman's playful smile from the corner of his eye, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.
The two of them showed their affection as if no one was around.
Ming Wan'er's eyes turned, "I also gave everyone a gift when I returned this time! Empress Dowager, I know you like to worship Buddha, so this is a glass Buddha statue..."
Next, Ming Wan'er acted like a socialite, moving among various masters.
She was very careful to give gifts to everyone.
The Empress Dowager is a Buddha statue, the Emperor is a precious inkstone, and there is also an ancient book that scholars and scholars all flock to, and the Empress is a pair of jade ruyi...
Except... Xiao Lijing and Chu Wanyu were left aside.
Looking at everyone who was beaming with joy after receiving their gifts, Xiao Lijing and his wife just sat there, forming a sharp contrast.
The intention to deliberately target others is obvious and not concealed at all.
Ming Wan'er raised her chin arrogantly, looking at Xiao Lijing out of the corner of her eye, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes.
The Empress Dowager saw all of this, but in her heart, Ming Wan'er was obviously more important.
She patted Ming Wan'er's hand and said, "You are already married now, and you are still so cunning!"
"Empress Dowager!" Ming Wan'er acted like a spoiled child as usual, rubbing her face against the Empress Dowager's hand. "You don't know, I've missed you so much these past few days! I've even prepared some gifts, but it's hard to show them to everyone here!"
"Okay, okay! I knew you were thinking about me!"
"Of course! You are the person closest to me!"
In public, the empress dowager never concealed her preference for Ming Wan'er, and the two of them were as affectionate as grandparents and grandchildren from an ordinary family.
Chu Ruoran, who was standing by, looked at it thoughtfully.
Everyone knows that the Empress Dowager dotes on Ming Wan'er.
Thinking that her current identity was just that of a county lady, she immediately came up with a plan if she could use Ming Wan'er to elevate her status.
Her eyes kept turning, scanning back and forth between the Empress Dowager and Ming Wan'er.
