Chapter 684 - 335 Ji Ji _3
Lady Wu stood up with a smile upon hearing this, "Your Highness, wait for me, I’ll go and make it right now."
It didn’t take long for Lady Wu to bring over two large bowls of noodles. Eunuch Xiao Zhengzi even brought a silver needle to test for poison, but a glare from Zhu Sujin stopped him from moving forward.
On the tenth and eleventh days, Fu Minglan and Huang Lingling would also come to the Qian family’s residence, joining Qian Yixiu and, following Sister’s instructions, practice the rituals of the Coming-of-Age ceremony.
Of course, Qian Yixiu reciprocated by sharing some things about Zhu Sujin. She talked about how smart, capable, diligent, and filial he was... She also shared a fair share of his embarrassing moments, like how he got greedy for food, how he would go about getting snacks, and how he would figure out ways to sneak an extra bite.
The two young girls listened with red cheeks, occasionally covering their mouths to giggle.
Qian Yixiu had some admiration for ancient women. She didn’t know exactly what they were thinking inside, but at least on the surface, they were as enthusiastic as before. The only difference was that Huang Lingling showed more respect to Fu Minglan than before, while Fu Minglan had become even more cordial.
Qian Manting also stayed with them all the time. Although she had already come of age, she was learning alongside them, step by step.
In a blink of an eye, the twelfth day arrived. The guests had arrived early: the Crown Prince, the Pan family, the Fu family, the Liang Family, the Eldest Princess Mansion, the Wan family, the Song family, the Huo family—all sent their respective mistresses and young ladies. The Liang family had the most attendees. Liang Jinzhao took leave to come; Old Duke Liang, Old Queen Grandma, Madam Liang, Liang Jinyu, and Liang Jinjing all came.
Additionally, Huo Shuqin came too, so all three of Zhu Sujin’s daughters-in-law were present today. Though all were beautiful, each had her own unique traits: Fu Minglan was elegant, Huang Lingling was charming, and Huo Shuqin was valiant.
