The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space Chapter 2641: Longevity Festival (Part 1)

Meng Shuang watched Yang Ruxin and her daughter getting along warmly, feeling somewhat uneasy inside, vaguely sensing something amiss but couldn’t put a finger on it.

As for Xu Huairui, she didn’t know how to react at the moment. Although she’s arrogant and domineering, she’s also smart, not as brainless as Wang Zhengzheng. At this moment, she didn’t feel like she should be proud, after all, she suffered before. Her mother, who had never hit her, slapped her twice, and her father, who had never said harsh words, scolded her.

Moreover, last night her mother specifically talked to her about the matter with her cousin; Wang Zhengzheng was dead, an undeniable fact.

She actually felt quite fortunate. She initially wanted that toy too, but her mother refused her at the time, for which she made a fuss, but because of this she narrowly avoided a disaster.

Yang Ruxin’s smile grew softer.

Meng Shuang hurriedly laughed it off: "This child is just spoiled by her family, if madam doesn’t mind, it’s her fortune."

"Who hasn’t been young once?" Yang Ruxin seemed completely unaffected, "Now that you’re here, why not stay for lunch? Our family’s meals are quite good."

"That would be most desirable." Meng Shuang hastily agreed, glancing at her daughter again.

"Thank you, madam." Xu Huairui quickly regained her senses, but felt a chill, as if being targeted by a venomous snake.

If Yang Ruxin knew her thoughts, she would certainly laugh. Isn’t she being targeted by venomous snakes? She’s hiding two venomous snakes, ready to bite when the opportunity arises.

In this way, Meng Shuang and her daughter had a meal at the Gu Residence, during which they saw Prince Eight and the other princes like Yun Wang, Xuan Wang, and Han Wang who shamelessly came to scrounge for food. When they were to leave in the afternoon, they even encountered the Crown Prince who came to chat with the old master Shu Xing.

Meng Shuang was even more startled. Exactly how influential was this Gu Family General?

In the following days, Xu Huairui clearly became Yang Ruxin’s intimate friend. Not only was her house arrest lifted, but she also frequently went in and out of the Gu Residence. She even received medicinal teas and medicinal wines.

What made her even happier was that she could occasionally go on outings with several princes and the Crown Prince of Jin Country, making many noble daughters envious. Some even said that if they’d known, they would have picked a fight with Yang Ruxin too, in hopes of gaining entry to the Gu Residence.

Just like that, the Wan Shou Festival arrived; Wan Shou Festival is the Emperor’s birthday.

The current Emperor Xuanjing, Qi Wei, was the second son of the previous Emperor, originally not the Crown Prince, but became Crown Prince at sixteen due to the early death of the eldest son. Of course, whether the previous Crown Prince truly died of illness is unknown. After serving as Crown Prince for four years, the previous Emperor abdicated, and he started ruling at the age of twenty-four. He has been reigning for twenty-three years now.

Emperor Xuanjing is the third Emperor of the Xuan Dynasty. Although he doesn’t have as high political achievements as his father and grandfather, he excels in wisdom and employs capable people. As a result, based on the foundation laid by his predecessors, the society continues to develop steadily, especially in its attitude towards neighboring countries: not actively aggressive, but also not tolerating provocation; in other words, being assertive when necessary, and gentle when required.

These qualities earned recognition from court officials and the populace.

Another thing is that although Qi Wei’s harem was also filled with beauty, he has not re-established an Empress nor favored new women since Empress Yunnuan passed away, showing lasting affection, which is also appreciated by everyone.
