Chapter 384: Meng Sister, Are You Pregnant?
Chapter 384: Meng Sister, Are You Pregnant?
Before their departure, Meng Qianqian, Wang Rou, and Lin Xiaoru visited the palace to see Zhou Nanyan.
Upon learning of her trip to Miaojiang to visit her family, the three of them were surprised but also felt it was within reason.
They were very reluctant to part ways.
Zhou Nanyan had the most outgoing personality, and her emotions were always written on her face.
She hugged Meng Qianqian tightly, crying as she hesitated to let go, "Meng Sister, how long will you be gone? Are you going to stay in Miaojiang and never come back?"
Meng Qianqian gently touched her cheek, "I'll be back."
As for how long it would take, she couldn't say for sure.
The Ling Mountains were in the southwest, bordering Miaojiang. This trip to Miaojiang was not only to treat Changle's illness but also to seek revenge for the Thousand-Mechanisms Pavilion.
"Meng Sister, take me with you secretly..."
Zhou Nanyan couldn't bear to part with Meng Qianqian.
Meng Qianqian was at a loss for words and tears, so she tapped her nose and said, "You're going to be an aunt, and you're still acting like a child."
"I'm going to be an aunt?" Zhou Nanyan was startled by her words and looked at Meng Qianqian's belly in disbelief, "Meng Sister, are you pregnant?"
Meng Qianqian smiled, "I was talking about Lady Wang's child."
The three of them looked at her, puzzled.
Meng Qianqian asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Rou spoke softly, "Meng Sister, my mother's child is of the same generation as Yan'er."
Meng Qianqian: "..."
Meng Qianqian patted her own head, "How did I get the generations mixed up? Yes, Lady Wang's child should call you sister."
The three of them looked at each other, and an unspoken understanding passed between them, something that could only be felt and not spoken.
On the day of departure, Wanping Princess and Ji Li went to the Duke's Mansion to pick up the Grandmatriarch and take her to the Princess's Mansion for a short stay.
Wanping Princess had already reported this matter to the Retired Emperor.
The Retired Emperor, concerned about the Grandmatriarch's well-being, sent Fu Gonggong to accompany her.
Fortunately, the Grandmatriarch's vitality was good, and she didn't feel too uncomfortable when Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan parted ways. She was just a little reluctant to let them go, like a child holding onto Meng Qianqian's clothes, asking them when they would return with a pitiful expression.
Meng Qianqian spoke softly, "I'll come back soon, and I'll write a letter to Great-Grandmother."
The Grandmatriarch muttered, "The great-grandson-in-law should write too!"
Lu Yuan readily agreed, "I will definitely write."
The Grandmatriarch held their hands, repeatedly asking many questions until Lu Mu got off the carriage.
"Ah, granddaughter-in-law! You're here!"
The Grandmatriarch released them and waved her arms, full of energy, as she greeted Lu Mu.
Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan paid their respects to her as younger generations.
Lu Mu nodded slightly.
"Granddaughter-in-law, why have you not come to see me for so long?"
"I've been busy with many things lately, but I've commissioned a play. I'll accompany you to watch it."
"Watch a play! Good, good!"
The Grandmatriarch was coaxed onto the carriage by Lu Mu.
Lu Mu turned back and gave Meng Qianqian a reassuring look.
Qianqian, take care.
Meng Qianqian smiled.
I will, and you take care too, Mother.
-
The group boarded the carriage heading for Miaojiang.
Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan shared a carriage.
Bai Yuwei, Tan'er, Amu, and Qingshuang shared a carriage.
Liu Qingyun, Treasure Piglet, and her little brothers shared a carriage.
Who can understand the stench of urine and feces in that carriage? Liu Qingyun hated it!
Banxia and the Dragon and Phoenix Twins shared a carriage.
Celestial Dragon rode a horse, and the Majestic King had a carriage to himself.
As for Yu Zichuan, all the carriage roofs were his.
Meng Qianqian thanked Wanping Princess, "Thank you, Princess, for seeing us off."
Wanping Princess said, "Who's sending you off? This Princess is worried that the servants might be clumsy and offend the Grandmatriarch, so I came personally to invite her to stay at the Princess's Mansion. You shouldn't be so sentimental."
Meng Qianqian curved her lips, "Princess, please take care of the Grandmatriarch and Lady Lu."
Wanping Princess replied indifferently, "I know, how many times have you said it? Can't this Princess make you feel at ease?"
Meng Qianqian smiled and turned to Ji Li beside her, "Ji Li, are you coming to Miaojiang with us?"
Ji Li snapped open his fan, looking devastatingly handsome, "Of course I'm not going! Who would follow you to your deaths? I'll stay in the Princess's Mansion to enjoy life as an Imperial Consort!"
An hour later.
The carriage left the capital.
A silver-haired, red-clothed man suddenly lifted the carriage curtain and climbed into Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan's carriage.
Meng Qianqian's eyebrows rose, "Not staying in the Princess's Mansion to enjoy life as an Imperial Consort?"
Ji Li cleared his throat and opened his fan in a suave manner, "Would this handsome man be the type to value friends less than beauty?"
Lu Yuan interpreted for Meng Qianqian, "His waist can't take it."
Ji Li: "..."
Leave some face!
Hahaha, how about a little chicken ticket?
