Chapter 160



Tomorrow was the eighth day of August, the day Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan got married.

Yu Niaoniao could not stay in the Duke’s Mansion anymore. She had to return to the Yu Residence today.

Dang Gui wanted to pack her luggage, but she was stopped by Yu Niaoniao.

“There’s no need for that. We’ll be back tomorrow anyway.”

Dang Gui thought so and stopped packing.

Xiao Juan did not go to the Justice Department today.

He stayed at home.

Yu Niaoniao waved goodbye to Granny Xiu Yan. “See you tomorrow.”

Granny Xiu Yan, who was originally reluctant to part, could not help but laugh.

That made sense. Miss Yu would be entering Langjun Imperial Palace officially tomorrow.

It was just a day. There was really nothing to be sad about.

Granny Xiu Yan instructed.

“When you return, you must rest well and recuperate.

“As soon as the auspicious time arrives tomorrow, His Highness will bring eight sedan chairs to pick you up.”

I know that girls get nervous when they get married.

“But you don’t have to be uneasy. Our county palace is your home after you get married!”

Yu Niaoniao smiled sweetly. “Yes, I’ll remember!”

After bidding farewell to Granny Xiu Yan, Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan sat in the carriage.

The carriage moved smoothly down the stone road.

Xiao Juan looked at the girl in front of him and suddenly spoke.

“You still have a chance to regret it until tomorrow before you get married.”

Yu Niaoniao did not expect him to say such things at this moment.

She pouted and said angrily, “Why do you keep talking about this? Do you really want me to break the engagement?”

Xiao Juan naturally did not want her to break the engagement. He was just unsure and afraid that he would implicate her.

“Marriage is a big deal. It concerns your lifelong happiness. You should think about it carefully.”

Yu Niaoniao felt that the man just did not believe her.

She was very unhappy and said angrily, “Okay, since you want me to think about it, I’ll think about it when I get back. Don’t be angry if I really break the engagement.”

With that, she turned away and ignored him.

The carriage stopped at the entrance to the Yu residence.

Yu Niaoniao was the first to jump off the carriage. She pulled Dang Gui into the residence and did not even look at Xiao Juan behind her.

Xiao Juan stood beside the carriage and watched them leave.

When he could no longer see Yu Niaoniao, Xiao Juan returned to the carriage.

He had just arrived in the Justice Department when he was summoned by the emperor.

So he hurried to the palace again.

In the Hall of Diligence, the old emperor had just finished approving a few memorials when he felt tired. He had no choice but to put down the red pen and order someone to call the Sixth Prince, Shen Rui.

Shen Rui was the son of Imperial Consort Shu. He was already 20 years old this year and wore a royal blue cloud-patterned brocade robe. His eyebrows were very similar to the old emperor when he was young.

On the month of the sixth prince’s birth, sweet dew fell from the northwest sky, alleviating the drought that lasted for half a year. The Imperial Astronomer gave him an order and said that he was born with auspiciousness, so the old emperor named him Rui.

The old emperor had a total of seven princes. Three of them had died due to various accidents. Now, there were only four left.

And Shen Rui was the most beloved son of the old emperor.

He called Shen Rui in front of him and pointed at the memorials on the desk.

“I’m tired. Help me read these memorials.”

Hearing this, Shen Rui was excited.

His father was going to teach him how to read the memorials step by step!

It seemed that his father intended to pass the throne to him.

Shen Rui suppressed his excitement, washed his hands, picked up the memorial, and began to read it word by word.

Soon, a eunuch came in to report that Duke Lang had arrived. The old emperor motioned for Shen Rui to pause.

Xiao Juan strode in and bowed.

“Greetings, Your Majesty.”

The old emperor said slowly, “Tomorrow is your wedding day. As your biological uncle, I should personally attend your wedding. However, I’m not feeling well these few days and can’t leave the palace. I’ll let the Sixth Prince attend your wedding in my place.”

Xiao Juan immediately thanked him.

Shen Rui also congratulated him.

The old emperor said, “After you get married, you’ll be an adult. You have to be more stable in the future.”

...

Xiao Juan said, “I will remember Your Majesty’s teachings.”

The old emperor then asked about Che Xuekun.

“Haven’t they caught him yet?”

Xiao Juan said, “This person is extremely cunning and has never appeared.”

The old emperor frowned, clearly displeased.

“It’s been so many days and you still haven’t caught him. I’m afraid he has already escaped from the Imperial Capital. Your Eagle Guards are getting less and less efficient.”

Xiao Juan knelt on one knee. “I was incompetent. Please punish me, Your Majesty.”

The old emperor said, “You’re getting married tomorrow, so I won’t punish you. However, you have to hurry up with Che Xuekun’s matter. Don’t disappoint me again, understand?”

“I understand!”

... .

After Yu Niaoniao returned to the Yu Residence, the first thing she did was check her house. She made sure that her small treasury was there and that her kitchen knife and iron pot were not lost.

...

Then she went to the stables. The little donkey was fine. It looked like it had gained weight.

Yu Niaoniao was very satisfied with this.

She stroked the donkey’s furry ears as she fed him carrots.

“You’re going to move into the Langjun Imperial Palace with me tomorrow. Are you happy?”

Dang Gui could not help but say, “Miss, are you really planning to bring Gray along?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Of course! I spent a lot of money on Gray. I have to take it with me.”

Dang Gui wanted to say something, but when she saw her lady’s excited expression, she shut her mouth.

As long as Miss was happy, His Highness probably wouldn’t care about embarrassment... right?

At this moment, the butler walked over and said respectfully.

“Miss, Second Miss invites you to the dining hall.”

Yu Niaoniao asked casually, “Why is she looking for me?”

The butler answered truthfully, “Previously, you saved Second Miss, but Second Miss didn’t have the time to express her gratitude to you. Now that you’re finally back, Second Miss specially prepared food for you to express her gratitude.”

As soon as she heard that there was good food, Yu Niaoniao was immediately interested.

She took Dang Gui straight to the dining room.

In the dining hall, Yu Pingping had been waiting for a long time.

When she saw Yu Niaoniao and Dang Gui return, her face immediately revealed a smug expression.

“Look, these are dishes I prepared for you myself. Don’t they look delicious?”

Yu Niaoniao looked at the dishes on the table.

There were not many dishes. There were only three dishes and a soup. They were all very ordinary home-cooked dishes.

She was amazed. “You made all this yourself?”

Yu Pingping raised her chin like a peacock. “That’s right!”

After this period of hard work and her brother’s help in tasting the dishes, her culinary skills finally improved. These few dishes were the fruits of her hard work.

Yu Niaoniao sat down at the table. Although they were all ordinary home-cooked dishes, they looked good and probably didn’t taste bad.

“You didn’t poison these dishes, did you?”

Yu Pingping was immediately furious. “How could I do such a despicable thing?!”

To prove that the dishes were not poisonous, she picked up her chopsticks and quickly tasted all the dishes.

When she was done, she slammed her chopsticks on the table and snorted.
