Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

Chapter 309 Unique 1 and 2

"Greetings to the princess, I wish the princess good health."

Xiao Zhixue stared at the two of them and spoke slowly: "The princess sent this gift today, saying it was a wedding gift for Sister Ling. I originally planned to let Siqin deliver it, but after thinking about it, I think you two are the most suitable."

Then, he handed the gift box to them and said, "Tell Sister Ling to come to the mansion tomorrow morning to thank the princess in person. I will wait for her in the mansion."

He Xiang took the gift box and bowed and left with Fu Dong.

Fan Yanmu looked at this scene with a hint of smile in his eyes: "It's just that mother is sending something to sister, why are you so cautious?"

Xiao Zhixue curled her lips and said earnestly, "You don't understand. Mother is doing this to bring honor to me, her daughter-in-law. Of course, I want more people to know that I have such a good mother-in-law."

"It is my blessing that my mother pays attention to me as her daughter-in-law. I also have to consider maintaining my mother's reputation."

Fan Yanmu stepped forward and hugged Xiao Zhixue, smiling and saying, "Yes, yes, my mother is a good mother-in-law, and my wife is also a good wife."

Xiao Zhixue gently slapped Fan Yanmu's hand away and glared at him sideways: "It's broad daylight, can you be more serious? You don't care about your face, but I still want it!"

Fan Yanmu didn't care, instead he pulled Xiao Zhixue towards the bed even more aggressively.

"Why are you like this? In broad daylight, didn't you already... why are you here again last night?"

Fan Yanmu did not answer, but was immersed in the sweet time that belonged to the two of them. Xiao Zhixue had no choice but to follow his wishes and gradually immersed herself in this affectionate intimacy. She followed the ups and downs of Fan Yanmu's rhythm and finally fell asleep in exhaustion and satisfaction.

When Xiao Zhixue slowly woke up, the sun was setting. The sunset glowed like smoke, and the golden sunlight shone through the window onto the table, adding a bit of warmth to the quiet room.

She complained about Fan Yanmu: "How can I face people in the future with this bastard? We had fun in broad daylight, but all the gossips were put on me. He was so carefree."

At this moment, as soon as he stepped out of the room, he met Nanny Cheng who was holding little Niu Bao and leading a few maids in.

As soon as the little guy saw his mother, he immediately opened his little hands and called out in a baby voice.

Xiao Zhixue's face was full of smiles as she gently took the tender little life in her arms - the calf. Her bright eyes sparkled with the radiance of motherhood.

She gently tapped the little calf's pink nose, her tone gentle and slightly teasing: "Hey, our little calf, are you starting to miss your mother's warm embrace again?"

After saying this, Xiao Zhixue's eyes were filled with doting, as if the whole world was melting in her endless love for her child at this moment.

"Mammy, you've worked so hard. Not only do you have to take care of my daily life, but you also have to keep an eye on our naughty little one. It's really exhausting and hard work. It's not easy."

When Nanny Cheng heard this, her heart felt warm and a warm current slowly flowed through her.

She thought to herself that such an understanding and considerate master was truly worthy of her wholehearted service.

No wonder the princess often said, "Our prince's consort is very thoughtful. Although she doesn't say much on the surface, she is very insightful in her heart. For anyone who treats her sincerely, she will never let their efforts go in vain."

Xiao Zhixue did not notice the turmoil in Nanny Cheng's heart, but she always treated the servants with tolerance and kindness, and this atmosphere became popular in the palace.

After some intimate interaction, she held the little calf in her arms, and the group slowly walked towards the main courtyard.

At this time, the main courtyard where Princess An was staying was preparing to start the dinner. The air was filled with mouth-watering aroma, and the dinner was about to begin.

"Ah, what a rare good fortune, today I can taste the delicious food cooked by my mother."

Xiao Zhixue's words were full of anticipation and happiness.

Upon seeing this, Princess An took the little calf from Xiao Zhixue's hand and said with a hint of sarcasm in her smile, "You little rascal, why did you bring your greedy mother with you? It seems that you have to be prepared to go hungry tonight, because your mother is also a big eater!"

This remark caused laughter in the room and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Xiao Zhixue has always been casual, especially in front of Princess An. She smiled and said, "My mother loves your food, and I want to taste your unique flavor."

Her frankness and humor make the air around her full of warmth.

During dinner, the family ate and talked, sharing all kinds of new and interesting things in the capital.

Although the nobles in the capital city adhered to the rule of "not talking while eating and not talking while sleeping", Prince An and his wife had complaints about this traditional custom.

Prince An once said bluntly: "I have been so busy that I haven't seen my wife and children for ten days or half a month. I finally go home to have a reunion dinner. If I still stick to those red tape, what dignity do I have as a prince?"

Therefore, in Prince An's Mansion, the princess and her children always had free and casual dinners together, where they could speak freely and enjoy the warmth and happiness of home.

Xiao Zhixue particularly cherishes this relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

Thinking back to her past life, she always had meals with her comrades-in-arms, and the meals were always tense and serious. In the silence, the only sounds she could hear were the colliding of dishes and chopsticks and the sound of swallowing. She still remembers that oppressive feeling vividly.

Every day in the palace was a great happiness for her.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is the twentieth day, Xiao Ruoling's wedding day.

Xiao Zhixue got up at dawn and specifically reminded Fan Yanmu, who was practicing martial arts, to attend the wedding banquet today to share the joy.

Princess An had already made thoughtful arrangements and did not let her little grandson Xiao Niubao come to disturb them.

Ever since little Niubao turned five months old, he has become accustomed to the warm moments with his parents every morning and evening.

That morning, the couple set out on their journey early. The winter sky had not yet fully brightened. The orange lanterns illuminated the road ahead, and the sound of horse hooves indicated that a new day had begun.

Old Jiang drove the specially made carriage steadily and slowly headed towards the residences of brothers Xiao Yutao and Xiao Yufeng.

Xiao Yutao is now a fourth-rank official, and the former Xiao residence has been expanded into the magnificent Xiao Mansion.

Arriving at the Xiao Mansion, the entire mansion was already a busy scene. Servants were coming in and out, each busy with their own business. When they saw Xiao Zhixue and Fan Yanmu coming, they all knelt down and saluted: "Greetings to the Prince of An and the Princess of Changle."

Fan Yanmu nodded gently and said, "Everyone, get up and continue your work. We can go in by ourselves."

Xiao Zhixue, supported by her maid Siqin, walked towards the inner courtyard step by step, while Fan Yanmu was greeted by Xiao Yufeng and Xiao Yurui who came in a hurry and went to the study in the front yard, where a deep conversation between men was waiting for him.

When Xiao Zhixue stepped into the inner courtyard, she saw her mother Jiang and sister-in-law Li busy with the arrangements for the wedding. After a brief greeting, she went straight to Xiao Ruoling's boudoir.

Xiao Ruoling was dressed glamorously and was having an intimate conversation with her sister Xiao Qinxin.

Although the young Xiao Qinxin was smart, she was heartbroken because she accidentally heard the servants talking about rumors that her mother was going to get married and didn't want her anymore. She went to find Xiao Ruoling crying.

Xiao Ruoling was usually gentle, but at this moment she was furious and immediately told Jiang and her eldest sister-in-law about it.

After Jiang and Li found out, they quickly punished the servants who spoke without restraint and locked them up in the woodshed, leaving them for further action after the wedding.
