Chapter 355 I think she is the best in the world

When Zhang Yunniang heard this, she quickly held the little girl in her arms and weighed her.

Not right.

Think again.

Zhang Yuniang weighed him several times, her expression changing constantly. Finally, she couldn't help but said, "My dear, why do I feel like you've gained weight?"

As soon as they met, Zhang Yunniang felt that the little girl had become visibly rounder, with chubby cheeks and a rosy complexion. She didn't look like she had suffered in the palace at all.

A hint of guilt flashed across Niu Niu's eyes. She followed her grandmother, the Empress Dowager, and ate several meals a day. The Empress Dowager thought that Niu Niu should take good care of herself, and she was afraid that her good granddaughter would not eat enough. Niu Niu really had no chance of getting thin.

"I want to lose weight." Niu Niu said with her little face raised.

Zhang Yunniang missed her too. In the past, the little girl slept between them every night, but now there was an empty space and the couple couldn't sleep at night.

She hugged her daughter tightly in her arms and asked in a low voice: "Have you been bullied in the palace? Have you eaten enough..."

After asking this question, Zhang Yunniang felt that she had asked in vain, so she changed the topic and asked, "Are you used to the food?"

Niuniu counted on her fingers and said, "There is a queen who doesn't like me, but she has been ill for a long time. I haven't seen her for a long time. The food in the palace is delicious. I really want to live in the imperial kitchen."

Niu Niu benefited from the Empress Dowager's kindness. The Empress Dowager had a poor appetite, so the Emperor ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare different kinds of food. It was not known whether the Empress Dowager's appetite was improved or not, but Niu Niu ate a lot at every meal.

"Mom thought you wanted to go home more." Zhang Yunniang deliberately joked.

Niuniu immediately changed her words: "I want to invite the chef from the imperial kitchen back home."

Zhang Yunniang couldn't help laughing. When she was outside the palace, although she heard from the eldest princess or her husband that her daughter was living well in the palace, now that she saw it with her own eyes, she finally felt relieved.

Zhang Yunniang's life experience in the first half of her life basically could not provide any guidance for Niuniu's palace life. She could only give her repeated instructions: "When you are in the palace, talk less, listen less, and watch less. If you feel something is wrong, run away immediately. You must protect yourself and stay out of everything..."

Niu Niu listened obediently.

Zhang Yunniang gave Niuniu a letter and let her daughter read it on the spot.

"Sister Shuying also wrote me a letter!" Niu Niu was very excited.

When Shuying knew that Zhang Yunniang was going to enter the palace, she asked for some extra pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and insisted on writing a letter to Niuniu.

Zhang Yunniang did not read the letter, but she could guess that given the girl's madness, the words would probably be extremely treasonous.

After making sure Niuniu had finished reading the letter, Zhang Yunniang reminded her again, "Don't tell anyone else what's in the letter."

After getting her daughter's nod, Zhang Yunniang folded the letter again and kept it close to her body, intending to take it out of the palace to deal with it later.

The letters written by others were not so particular. Zhang Yunniang handed them to Niuniu directly and said, "You still have time to read these letters later. Your Aunt Liu and Uncle Luo are getting married. I don't know if you can leave the palace to watch the ceremony."

Niuniu's eyes suddenly lit up and she asked, "Are Uncle Luo's parents coming to Beijing?"

The Luo family naturally strongly opposed Liu Xiaoru's marriage. When Luo's parents received the letter, they were furious. They had received the news before and had sent several letters in succession to express their opposition.

But it’s funny that after the news of Gu Mingda’s success in high school was reported, the opposition within the Luo family was not as strong anymore.

When Gu Mingda won the first place in the imperial examination, the clan even persuaded Luo's parents to be more open-minded. "At first, they didn't want to, but under the pressure of the family, they agreed. Your uncle Luo and aunt Liu also took a step back and wrote to the clan, saying that after the marriage, the couple would return to the clan to choose an adopted son." Zhang Yunniang sighed when she talked about this.

The children, however, did not have as many concerns as the adults and said happily: "Uncle Luo is so lucky to marry Aunt Liu!"

After hearing this, Zhang Yunniang thought that Niuniu was probably the only one who thought this way.

In the eyes of people in the secular world, Liu Xiaoru was getting married for the second time, and Doctor Yan determined that it would be difficult for her to have children. Her marriage should have been extremely difficult. Fortunately, Shopkeeper Luo had always been firm in his attitude.

"There are a lot of people gossiping outside. I just hope your Aunt Liu will ignore the rumors and live her own life peacefully behind closed doors." Zhang Yunniang said with emotion.

Niuniu tilted her head and said seriously, "Aunt Liu won't care. She will definitely be open-minded. No matter how good others say Uncle Luo is, I think he is marrying above his station."

Zhang Yunniang couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. She thought that children are innocent. She touched her daughter's wet and soft head and said, "You can only say this to your family. If you tell others, you will be laughed at."

Niuniu was puzzled: "Why are you afraid of being laughed at by others? I just think Aunt Liu is the best in the world. I'm telling the truth."

Zhang Yunniang smiled and said, "If your Aunt Liu knew this, I don't know how happy she would be."

"Mom, don't you think Aunt Liu is a very good person?" Niu Niu asked back.

Zhang Yunniang sighed and said, "Of course I think she is great, but people outside may not think so."

Niuniu said, "I think ginger is the most delicious, but others think it tastes terrible. This is not important. What is important is what my family thinks. Does Uncle Luo think Aunt Liu is the best in the world?"

Zhang Yunniang smiled and nodded, saying, "If your uncle Luo didn't think so, why would he be so desperate to ask for marriage?"

Niuniu asked again: "Does Aunt Liu feel that she is the best?"

Zhang Yunniang recalled Liu Xiaoru's worries and fears during this period and didn't know where to start.

Seeing her mother like this, Niuniu couldn't help but sigh and said like a little adult, "This won't work. We are a family, how can we have different ideas?"

Zhang Yuniang was stunned when she heard this.

Just at this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door, and a palace servant came to remind everyone to start the banquet.

"Why is dinner ready so soon? I still have a lot to say to mom." Niu Niu, who cares most about meals, pulled Zhang Yunniang's sleeve with reluctance on her face.

Zhang Yunniang was also feeling uncomfortable at this moment. She felt that she had not even said a few words to her daughter yet, but the palace banquet could not afford to go wrong.

The palace banquet was held in the water pavilion next to the Thousand Carp Pond in the Imperial Garden. Male and female guests were still divided, and the ladies of each family took their seats one after another.

Zhang Yunniang wanted her daughter to sit beside her, but she didn't expect the little palace maid to whisper, "Madam Gu, the Queen Mother is looking for Niuniu. She can't leave Niuniu for a moment now."

Zhang Yunniang was stunned. It had only been a short time since Niuniu left the empress dowager, how could she be unable to leave her?

Niu Niu walked towards the upper level, looking back every few steps.

The pavilion suddenly became quiet, and everyone stared at Niu Niu walking forward in a daze.

The well-informed ladies had heard of Niu Niu.

As for those who were not well-informed, when they saw Niu Niu walking straight towards the Queen Mother, their expressions changed. Some bad-hearted people were even waiting to see Niu Niu make a fool of herself.
