Chapter 245 Old friends meet
Liang You's wedding took place as scheduled and could not be postponed.

It was very simple; apart from close family members, no outsiders were invited.

After paying respects to heaven and earth, they entered the bridal chamber.

Liang You lifted the veil and looked at Princess Wenfang's ordinary face and gorgeous makeup.

I patiently had a heart-to-heart talk with her.

"Even on her deathbed, the Grand Princess was still focused on arranging your marriage. Her deep paternal love is truly touching. As her juniors, we should cherish this affection and fulfill our filial duty to her. We have already married according to the Princess's wishes. This fulfills her wish. Now, I propose that we observe a year of mourning before consummating our marriage."

No matter what, Princess Wenfang was still a newlywed.

Hearing this, she felt both ashamed and angry.

She knew the Liang family did it on purpose, but they still acted like they were in the right! They bullied her, a woman, because she couldn't refute them.

Her mouth was slightly open, but she couldn't speak. She just stared blankly at Liang You.

Liang You looked at her, but his heart remained completely unmoved.

"I'm leaving for the western suburban camp early tomorrow morning. I probably won't have much time to return home until the competition ends in June. My mother is heartbroken over the passing of my father and brother and can't seem to cheer up. I hope you can take good care of her and be respectful to her. I hope you can help her recover gradually. I'll be leaving all this to you while I'm away..."

Liang You also solemnly bowed to Princess Wenfang.

She had no other choice but to reply with difficulty, "Don't worry, my lord... I will definitely be filial to my mother and help her manage the household affairs."

Liang You nodded, "You're tired today, get some rest!" Then he turned and left.

Princess Wenfang's face turned ashen, feeling deeply bitter about her fate: without her grandmother's protection, even an adopted son dared to bully her!

When Madam Liang received the letter, she poured herself a cup of wine with satisfaction.

If it weren't for Mo Yuan's blunt "instigation," she really wouldn't have bothered doing such a thing... What she didn't expect was that as soon as she had the nanny beside her give Liang You a heads-up, he hurriedly made up an irresistible reason...

Oh, this child, so adorable!

……

To make it easier to accept invitations in the spring, Mo Yuan finally moved back to the Mo family home, saying she would stay there for a while before returning.

Mo Yi personally escorted her back and also told her third uncle and Liu about the families who had come to inquire about marriage. It seemed that none of them were as good as Zhang Debao.

So, several people took turns trying to persuade Mo Yuan.

At first, Mo Yuan was unmoved.

Finally, she said: "After my prime, I will definitely arrange a marriage."

The shop was doing very well, and Granny Zhao and Manager Zhao each found a master craftsman for Mo Yi. Mo Yi took a look and found that the craftsmanship was excellent, the craftsmanship was extensive, and the craftsmanship was quick to grasp.

The carving went very smoothly. As long as I explained my ideas, the craftsman could shape it according to the material, and the finished product was even better than my original concept.

The purses are a bit lacking. That's because the embroiderers here used to make proper items.

There's not much that can be done, since she's taking a so-called "side path." The only thing we can do is let her look at the goods in the warehouse every day and gradually absorb the atmosphere.

With all of this arranged, I'm a bit free now.

At this time, the flowers in the Prince's Garden were blooming one after another. In between her busy schedules, she would go for a walk in the garden every day. After going there so often, the idea of ​​tidying up the garden began to take root in her mind.

According to the Mohists of the past, having a garden full of flowers and plants was the best one could hope for.

But now, even though it's such a big garden and there are quite a few flowers, it doesn't seem to have any special features.

She plans to visit the flower growers in the next couple of days to see if she can find any inspiration.

If we need to make changes, who will make the decision?
What kind of product should it be? Who makes the final decision?

Cost, personnel, time...

It's such a headache. It's my own home, yet I still have to think about so many things.

Unbeknownst to her, her wandering and looking around the garden, even measuring the ground with her steps... had already been reported to Consort Feng.

Consort Feng had no idea what Mo Yi was doing under the blazing sun, and she didn't have time to think about it now.

Because Zhou Dong is back.

Li Jing knew he was coming back, so he sent people out of the city to pick him up.

A group of several dozen people, along with several dozen carriages, arrived at the Prince's Mansion first.

Li Jing met him in the front study, sized him up, and even smiled, "Quite robust. Everything going well?" Actually, Zhou Dong was not yet thirty, and his appearance could only be described as decent, but now, his military bearing was undeniable. Straight back, bright eyes, composed and dignified. Very impressive!

"Everything went smoothly!" Zhou Dong handed over the materials he had brought back.

Li Jing took it, looked it over briefly, and seemed quite satisfied.

"You've worked hard. Take a two-week break after you get back and spend time with your wife and children. Your new position has been arranged; you'll take office in two weeks."

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness." Zhou Dong bowed in gratitude.

"I have offered you guidance, but you have also done an excellent job. Once you are familiar with your post, I will have some tasks for you to handle."

"Yes." This shows the prince's high regard for him, and Zhou Dong is very happy.

"Go visit Granny Zhao when you have time; she's always thinking about you."

"I'll go tomorrow. Your Highness, I heard you've married a princess."

"Hmm. You rest for two days. Then, summon them all to welcome you back. At that time, you can also get to know the Princess."

Judging from the prince's expression and tone, Zhou Dong sensed that he was very relaxed. He couldn't help but wonder... how was Feng Liniang?

Although he rarely returned to the capital, he always kept up with the news. Feng Liniang had given birth to a son for the prince, and Princess Zhou had passed away. He had even wondered if Feng Liniang might ever be made his official wife…

I want to know, but I can't bring myself to ask.

It's one thing to greet the principal wife, but to inquire about the concubines... is not quite proper.

"Then I shall take my leave!"

"Go!"

Zhou Dong came out and was led home by a servant from the mansion.

The servant chuckled, "After I take you home, I still need to write back to the concubine. The concubine is so good to your wife; I've had to come so many times just to deliver things. There's nothing the concubine hasn't thought of in terms of food and daily necessities."

Zhou Dong was deeply moved. "Even though the Consort manages such a large palace, she still cares about us..."

"Hi, our concubine asked me to tell you that now that Your Highness is able to take care of your relatives and friends, she will do her best! You are risking your life for the Prince outside, so she must ensure that you have no worries."

"I will thank the concubine in person when I have the chance to meet her someday."

"This letter is from Her Majesty." The servant was clean-cut and eloquent. After some preamble, he produced the letter.

Zhou Dong took it.

At the door of their home, his wife was waiting with their two children.

When she saw him arrive, she asked him for a long time if he was hurt or tired. Then she chattered on and on, showing him where she lived.

Madam Tu kept praising Consort Feng: "Your Highness, you always send people to deliver this and that. During the New Year, you even gave the two children lucky money! The children were exhausted on the way to the capital. I was almost worn out myself too. It's all thanks to Your Highness that things have settled down as soon as we arrived in the capital. Look at this room, almost everything was sent by Your Highness. When you see her later, you must thank her properly!"

After wandering around for a while, Zhou Dong sat down to drink tea and asked, "Have you met that new princess?"

Madam Tu shook her head: "No. Granny Zhao has come two or three times, and she's never come empty-handed. She also brought New Year's gifts. It's clear she cares about you a lot! But what she brings can't compare to what the Consort brings."

Two days later, at a teahouse.

Zhou Dong went up to a private room on the third floor.

As soon as they reached the door, it opened, and Madam Song appeared: "Excuse me, are you Lord Zhou?" She did not recognize Zhou Dong.

"Yes."

"Please come in, sir!" Madam Song stepped aside to let him in, but did not follow him inside. She left the door slightly ajar and stood at the entrance.

Consort Feng sat upright behind the table.

"Zhou Dong greets Your Highness, the Concubine!" Zhou Dong bowed.

When Feng Liniang saw him enter, the man before her was dark-skinned and muscular. He was dressed simply, but possessed a composed demeanor and an air of authority...

It makes people feel like they can rely on it.

He has completely lost the naivety he had when he was young.

"Brother Dong..." Her voice trembled, a glint of light flashed in her eyes, and tears fell.

"Your Majesty..." Zhou Dong was also looking at the young woman in front of him, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, had a dignified and elegant demeanor, and was outstanding in appearance.

She had lost all trace of her former elegance and tranquility...
