Chapter 45: The Visitation

There is no shortage of rumors in the palace. Kurihime rejected the eldest princess's proposal, and the news spread throughout the harem.

Wang Wan realized that the opportunity had come.

She sent someone to Tangyi Houfu to greet Liu Yan, and said: "A few children miss their aunt." ”

Mrs. Wang is Liu Qi's favorite concubine, with four children under her knees, and this strength cannot be underestimated by Liu Qi, so they have always maintained a good relationship.

When Liu Yan heard Wang Huan's invitation, she immediately smiled and replied, "I know." Go back and tell Madame that I will go to the Yilan Hall to visit her and the children in the next few days. ”

A few days later, Liu came as promised.

With a smile on her face, Wang Wan welcomed Liu Yan into the main hall. The guest and the host sat down, and after a few words of greeting, Wang Wan instructed the maid beside him: "Bring them to see your aunt." ”

The maid agreed to retreat.

The two sisters-in-law continued to talk and laugh, and they had heard a sound of broken footsteps, and the two turned their heads to look, and a small figure ran into the hall, threw herself into Liu Yan's arms, and shouted crisply: "Aunt! ”

Wang Wan smiled and said, "Yu'er! Don't hurry up and salute your aunt. ”

The child who came was Liu Yu, the king of Jiaodong, who heard his mother's words, and stuck out his tongue mischievously, and wanted to get up.

Concubine Liu hugged her and said with a smile: "Good girl! No need to salute. Let my aunt see, have you grown taller? ”

"Grow taller!" Yu'er replied solemnly.

His appearance as a little adult made Wang Wan and Liu Yan laugh.

The three princesses pursed their lips and smiled, and walked in from outside the palace gate.

The leader is Wang Huan's eldest daughter, Princess Pingyang, who is twelve years old this year, and has already promised to marry the great-grandson of the founding hero Cao Shen, Pingyang Hou Cao Shou. Because Cao Shou's father, the previous Pingyang Hou Cao Qi, died of illness last year, Cao Shou kept filial piety and has not yet set a marriage date.

The second daughter, Princess Nangong, is only ten years old, with a round face and big eyes, and is slightly smaller than her sister Princess Pingyang. Liu Qi has already set a marriage contract for her, and promised to marry Princess Lu Yuan's great-grandson, Nangong Hou Zhang.

The third daughter, Princess Longxi, is only seven years old and has not yet grown up.

The three princesses were all dressed in the same way, with their hair combed and bearded, and they wore goose yellow collared short shirts and light purple silk skirts.

Princess Pingyang already has the demeanor of an eldest sister, leading her two younger sisters to walk in front of Liu Concubine with a smile, holding her left hand with her right hand in her sleeve, raising it to her abdomen, bowing her head slightly, and bending her knees and saying, "Aunt Wanfu." ”

Concubine Liu beckoned and smiled: "Good boy! No need to be polite. Come and show my aunt. ”

Princess Pingyang answered, got up and walked to her aunt's side.

Liu Yan grabbed it and looked it up and down: "I've only seen it on the Shangsi Festival, and it's only been a few days, and it's getting more and more peugeot." ”

He pulled Princess Nangong again and praised: "Good boy, you grow up so fast." ”

After that, he turned his head and smiled: "This child will be taller than her sister in the future." ”

Wang Wan replied with a smile: "Yes." I often say the same. ”

Concubine Liu looked at Princess Longxi and said with a smile: "Longxi, you can't be picky anymore, be careful that you can't catch up with the two sisters." ”

The whole hall laughed.

Wang Wan glanced at Princess Pingyang, Pingyang understood, took Yan'er's hand, and coaxed: "Follow my sister to the garden and watch them catch cicadas." ”

When Yu'er heard this, she obediently grabbed Pingyang, raised her head and smiled: "Okay." ”

The four children said goodbye to their aunt and walked out of the hall.

Liu Yan looked at the children's backs, smiled at Wang Huan, and said enviously: "Several children are sensible and cute, sister, you are really blessed." ”

"Hey! You haven't seen them when they're naughty. Wang Wan hurriedly replied with a smile: "I am often troubled by their quarrels. It's as well-behaved and cute as Gillian. ”

Hearing Wang Wan mention her daughter Gillian, Concubine Liu's face darkened slightly and sighed softly.
