Upon hearing this, Granny Yi's eyes lit up. If she could see with her own eyes that her young lady was doing well, the old lady could rest assured.

"Mother..."

Fang Yuhua pulled Lu Wenshu's hand and patted it gently: "You have a gentle nature, and you have done a perfect job as a princess."

There's only one thing Yan'er promised: she'd allow you to return to the Lu family once a month. But in the past few years, you've gone back only a handful of times.

"I know you're worried about a sudden change in the Prince's Mansion. If you go back too often, someone will come to me and say that you want to abandon this mess of the Prince's Mansion."

Lu Wenshu shook her head: "Mother..."

"Silly child, since you and Yan'er got married, you have treated his two adopted sons well and managed everything in a very orderly manner."

"Besides, I feel sorry for Yan'er, and your mother is naturally worried about you day and night. The last time you went back was in mid-April, for your father's birthday, right?"

Today is the last day of May. I'll go back and check on things tomorrow. I'll bring Yu'er and Jingjing with me, so they can rest assured.

Lu Wenshu nodded: "Okay. Thank you, Mother."

When Granny Yi saw her young mistress nod, she beamed with joy: "This old servant will go back and tell the master and madam the good news right away."

"Madam, Princess, my wife, the Minister's wife, specially cooked today and sent many pastries to the Prince's residence, including steamed peach blossom cake, wisteria flower cake, white jade square frost cake, lotus root starch osmanthus sugar cake, lotus flower pastry, and Dingsheng cake."

Not knowing what the young lady liked, he went to Suzaku Street and bought the most fashionable crab roe pastries. But he had just heard the young master say that the young lady liked shrimp and crab, so he figured these pastries would please her.

As soon as Granny Yi finished speaking, a little maid came in carrying a large food box.

"I was busy preparing these things, which is why I'm a little late. It's already late afternoon when I arrived."

Lu Wenshu listened to the long list of names of pastries. They were the ones she, her mother, and Yu'er loved to eat. For the three who didn't like pastries, she prepared seasonal ones with auspicious meanings.

Fang Yuhua recalled her mother-in-law's cooking skills and became interested: "My mother-in-law's cooking is excellent; I've missed it for a long time."

"Granny Pang, go and fetch the pomegranate wine and coral bead string that Erlang sent a few days ago, and have Granny Yi take them back to her in-laws."

Before dinner.

[So many sugar cakes!]

Little Jingjing looked at the pastries on the table and counted them: "One, two, three, four, five, six, so many pastries!"

"There are so many that Jingjing hasn't seen before!"

I really want to eat it!

After saying that, he looked at the long strip again and asked, "What is this?"

Why does Jingjing smell crab roe?

After saying that, he wrinkled his nose and sniffed twice.

Yes, it really tastes like crab roe!

Lu Wenshu picked up a piece and placed it on her plate: "This is crab roe biscuit, which my grandmother bought for Jingjing."

"Maternal grandmother? Is she my mother's mother?"

Jingjing looked at the crab roe pasta in front of her, suppressing her urge to eat it, and looked at Lu Wenshu.

"Yes, I'll take you to see your grandmother tomorrow. Eat up."

After receiving permission, Jingjing immediately used her special little chopsticks to pick up the crab roe and eat it.

Wow~ This is delicious~ You can eat crab roe like this?! Humans are so clever! (≧∇≦)

Why didn't my patriarch tell me that he lived in the human world for a long time?

【Hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮ I hate Grandpa Clan Chief for a second】

"Mother, why hasn't Second Brother come back today?"

While eating his favorite white jade frost cake, Xiao Yu glanced at the empty seat next to the eldest prince.

Lu Wenshu looked at the empty seat and frowned slightly: "Your second brother just returned today and was taken by Qingyan to Wangming Mountain outside the city, who said he was going to practice his lightness skill."

"I've already set aside some for your second brother to eat when he comes back tomorrow. It's all in the freezer."

Xiao Chengyan handed the teacup in his hand to Lu Wenshu: "He's already twelve. With Qingyan by his side, what problem could a real man possibly have after just one night of wind and rain?"

After saying that, she looked at her youngest son: "Yu'er, you've already turned seven. It's time to start learning martial arts. Qingzheng will be back tomorrow. Starting the day after tomorrow, you'll practice horse stance and morning exercises with Qingzheng."

Xiao Yu nodded.

Among the military sons in the Imperial Study, only I had not yet begun to learn martial arts.

Even if his father doesn't mention this today, he will still go to his father to talk about it.

Xiao Chengyan looked at his obedient son and sighed inwardly.

This child is smart, sensible, and well-behaved, but... also sentimental and sensitive.

After being frightened at my father's funeral, I became increasingly sensitive.

Well, as long as I'm alive, I can protect them a little more.

Jingjing put down her chopsticks, her big eyes filled with a tentative look: "Father, Jingjing also wants to learn martial arts~"

Jingjing also wants to learn martial arts. Her grandfather, the clan chief, said that if she only knows magic but doesn't practice martial arts, she won't be able to learn powerful techniques in the future.

Thinking of this, Jingjing got down from her seat, walked to Xiao Chengyan's wheelchair, and hugged his right hand with her two chubby little hands: "Father~"

Jingjing needs to learn martial arts too~ That way her magic power will grow faster~

As she was thinking this, she gently shook his hand.

Looking at her delicate skin, Xiao Chengyan hesitated, "Jingjing, learning martial arts will be tough. You'll sweat and get beaten. Do you really want to learn?"

Little Jingjing asked, puzzled, "Jingjing knows, but Jingjing wants to learn. Besides, Jingjing is very strong!"

[She needs to learn, otherwise if she still doesn't know martial arts when she returns to Tianming Lake, Jingjing won't be able to compete with the other little koi!]

Both my second brother and my youngest brother practice martial arts, and Jingjing wants to too!

Looking at the determination in her eyes, Xiao Chengyan nodded: "Alright. Father promises you."

"Okay! ヾ(✿゚▽゚)ノ"

Jingjing released his hand and instead opened her arms wide to hug half of his shoulder.

"Father is the best~"

Jingjing loves her father the most~

Xiao Chengyan chuckled and gently flicked her nose: "Little brat."

"Jingjing, practice with Qingzheng and your two older brothers first. After a while, your father will find you a suitable weapon."

The child likes the color red; in the family's armory, only the Fire Cloud Spear is red.

However, the Fire Cloud Spear was heavier than Yu'er and more than a foot taller than herself, making it a giant object for Jingjing.

Once the child has practiced for a while and figured out what kind of weapon would suit him, we'll ask someone to forge it.

It's a pity Jingjing didn't know that her beloved father was thinking this way; otherwise, she probably would have said, "This is hardly a giant!"

"Mother, the Imperial Academy has invited Mr. Qin Xiuwen tomorrow, and I don't want to miss it, therefore..."

Lu Wenshu looked at Zhou Rui with delight: "Is it Mr. Qin Xiuwen from Qingyang Academy?"

Xiao Chengyan was not surprised, as he had already received news of Qin Xiuwen's arrival in the capital.

Zhou Rui nodded: "Yes, Mr. Qin will answer the students' questions at the Imperial College tomorrow."

"Alright, in that case, go to the Imperial Academy. Your maternal grandmother will understand."

Lu Wenshu's eyes filled with tears; this child should have been a student of Qingyang Academy...
