With a wave of his hand, the Prince's Mansion's fortune exploded throughout the entire cap

Seeing her approach, Lu Wenshu immediately took her hand: "Chan'er, on the seventeenth, the two princesses invited Jia Ning and you to go for a stroll along the Wu'an River, along with their eldest daughter and children. Would you like to come along?"

Upon meeting Lu Wenshu's gaze, Fang Yuchan understood the deeper meaning behind it.

This was to create an opportunity for himself and Su Xianyun to meet, and also to communicate with Su Xianyun's sister-in-law, Ning Xian.

She remembered that Su Xianyun's nephew was about the same age as Jingjing, which was also a good opportunity for Jingjing to meet people of the same age.

Fang Yuchan nodded, then turned to the Ning sisters with a gentle smile: "Yuchan greets both princesses. Thank you for your invitation, Yuchan will certainly accept it on time."

After saying that, she took two similar-looking jade hairpins off her head: "These hairpins were made by a famous craftsman in the Southern Territory. Their style is different from those in the capital. Please accept them, sisters."

Ning Yan and Ning Hua both smiled and accepted the hairpin: "The design is very novel. I must have a good chat with my sister about the novelties of this Southern Territory another day."

When Xiao Jingjing saw that her older sister Chan'er had taken out a gift, she eagerly chimed in, "Yes, yes, Qinghe, Qinghe also has a gift for her sister!"

The sight of four-year-old Jingjing hurriedly standing up to give a gift made the Ning sisters smile.

Ning Hua squatted down and looked at her: "Okay, then, Qinghe, you should prepare well first, and give it to your older sister next time we meet, okay?"

She was only four years old, so she couldn't wear many hairpins or ornaments on her head.

Even if he had only one jade pendant on him, it wouldn't be enough to deal with the two sisters.

In the afternoon, the one-on-one martial arts competition for adults will begin.

The competition venue has been changed to the martial arts training ground where the princes usually practice.

The emperor and empress sat beside him, with civil and military officials seated on either side according to their rank.

Little Jingjing was held in Prince Jing's arms and sat in his wheelchair.

"Father, won't your legs hurt like this?"

Although the insect is still immobilized, Father still has poison in his body!

[Besides, Jingjing has been eating a lot lately, she might have gained quite a bit of weight...]

[Won't Father be uncomfortable sitting on his lap like this?]

Looking at the little Jingjing with her soft, wrinkled face in his arms, Xiao Chengyan's heart softened even more.

"It's alright. Jingjing isn't heavy, Father can handle it."

After saying that, he lifted up little Jingjing with both hands: "Jingjing, your father's body is still very strong."

Although he was unable to stand upright due to poisoning in both legs, he did not stop practicing martial arts. In recent years, he has gradually become familiar with his wheelchair and can even use it to wield a sword for self-defense while sitting in it.

Xiao Chengyan's actions sparked discussion among many officials and their families.

"His Highness Prince Jing really treats this Princess Jianing very specially."

"His Highness Prince Jing's behavior is far better than that of many officials who claim to be doting fathers!"

"Hey, who are you talking about?"

"Huh? You weren't talking about anyone? Why are you in such a hurry? Have I exposed your true colors?"

......

"General Xuanwei wins!"

"The second son of the Duke of Zhenguo wins!"

"Next match: Su Xianjun, Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, versus Cheng Ling, Vice Minister of the Ministry of War!"

Upon hearing "Su Xianyun," Xiao Jingjing turned to look at Xiao Chengyan: "Is this the one who proposed last time?"

When she said the words "marriage proposal," Xiao Jingjing subconsciously lowered her voice.

After their last visit, Grandmother and Mother both instructed the maids and servants of the Prince's residence to keep quiet. So, it must be because they don't want everyone to know?

Upon hearing this, Lu Wenshu's eyes flashed with a slight smile.

Silly child, although you said to keep it a secret from the servants, you can only keep it a secret about the specific words spoken.

As for the Su family's intention to form a marriage alliance with the Marquis of Xuanping's family, the news had already spread throughout the capital when Madam Su visited the Prince's residence.

After all, the fact that the second young master of the Su family helped the young lady of the Xuanping Marquis's mansion retrieve her purse on Qixi Festival would spread among the noble families after the festival ended.

Rather than spreading such rumors, it would be better to announce that the two families intend to form a marriage alliance.

This is why Mrs. Su came to ask about it so early in the morning.

Xiao Chengyan gently stroked Xiao Jingjing's head: "Yes, if he can win, he has a chance."

If you want to solve cases and catch murderers, you can't beat someone like Lian Chengling who lacks talent and isn't very hardworking.

Then they wouldn't be able to protect the Fang family's daughter.

On the training ground, Su Xianyun held her longsword, which she was skilled with, and looked at Cheng Ling, who was holding a broadsword.

She slightly raised her head to look in the direction of the Marquis of Xuanping's residence, her eyes filled with an air of certainty.

"Su Xianyun, didn't you go to work as a coroner? Why are you back?"
