The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 393 This is a letter from home

Every time Zhang came to the palace recently, she would bring the maids from the Li family's side branch with her. Everyone would do some embroidery and make a few down jackets for their family members.

The youngest girl, Li Lian, is very happy every time she comes, because Sister Lan will prepare delicious food for her and play with her.

After Li Mulan finished her practice today, Zhang came with a few people, this time with Lin Xuelan. Li Fu and Li Rong were used to it now, and they were not as nervous as they were when they first came to the palace. They were much more comfortable. But Lin Xuelan was obviously a little nervous.

Zhang looked at Li Mulan's sweaty face and felt distressed. "Practicing again? Go wash up and change clothes quickly, don't catch a cold."

Li Mulan drank two cups of tea before responding, "Mom, this little bit of sweat is nothing, it's okay. You don't know, my internal strength has increased greatly recently, the old fox... my master even praised me, hehehe. Thanks to the special elixir made by the Valley Master, wow, the effect is really good."

"Your humble servant greets the princess."

Li Mulan then noticed Lin Xuelan behind Zhang, and said with delight, "Why is Aunt Lin here? Hurry up and get up. You are being so formal with me."

Lin Xuelan smiled gently, "Your status is different now, so you still have to be polite."

"There are no outsiders now."

Zhang smiled and said, "Yes, the marriage is about to begin in a dozen days. By then, we will really be a family. Don't be so formal, okay?"

Lin Xuelan's face flushed red and she nodded slightly.

Li Rong, who was standing by, wiped the sweat off Li Mulan's forehead with a handkerchief and said, "It's still very cold in the morning and evening. Sister Lan, you should go wash up and change your clothes."

Li Mulan grinned, "Okay, then you wait here for a while, I'll be there soon. Aunt, don't be polite, just treat it as your own home."

Lin Xuelan smiled and nodded, "Okay, go ahead."

Li Mulan came back soon. Everyone was already busy with their work. Even the youngest, Li Lian, was embroidering a piece of cloth in a very serious manner, but it was impossible to tell what she was embroidering.

As soon as the little girl saw Li Mulan, she put down her needle and thread, took the cloth strips and ran over, "Sister Lan, how about my embroidery?"

"Hmm~ Nice embroidery. This... little duck is so cute."

"Puchi!" The others couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Li Lian pouted and said, "I clearly embroidered a crane..."

The corners of Li Mulan's mouth twitched. "Ah... it's a crane. Hmm... I was wrong about my sister. It's a crane."

Although Li Lian was young, she was not stupid. She said angrily, "The one that Sister Lan embroidered is a duck, humph."

Li Mulan was in a state of confusion. A few days ago, her mother forced her to embroider a purse for Chu Chenfeng. She also found a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water and asked her to embroider it according to the pattern. However...

Lin Xuelan also smiled, "Lan'er's embroidery? Then I want to take a look too."

Zhang shook her head helplessly. She couldn't understand why her daughter hadn't learned anything from her excellent embroidery skills.

She took out something that Li Mulan had embroidered a few days ago from a basket beside her and handed it to Lin Xuelan. "Look, this girl is good at everything except this one."

Lin Xuelan, who was always gentle, couldn't control her expression when she saw it. "This... Lan'er's embroidery is really extraordinary."

Li Mulan herself felt a little embarrassed, "Oh, Mom, you know I'm not good at this, but you forced me to embroider it, and now you're making fun of me."

Zhang tapped her forehead helplessly, "You, after all, are a woman, and you haven't even embroidered anything decent yet? Aren't you ashamed? Only the prince doesn't despise you."

"Humph, he dares to despise me. I have an embroiderer in the mansion, and I don't need to embroider myself."

But at this moment, she still picked up the needle and thread, ready to finish her unfinished purse. After all, she had already finished more than half of it. As for whether to give it to Chu Chenfeng, humph, it depends on her mood.

Zhang smiled and looked at Lin Xuelan, "Look at her, how can she look like she's married?"

"This is good. With this kind of mentality, you will be happy and not feel wronged."

Zhang nodded, "You are right. As long as I am happy, I am content." Then she looked at Li Rong and Li Fu, "Fu and Rong's marriages have been decided. They are both from very good families. They will definitely be happy in the future."

Li Fu and Li Rong's faces turned red immediately and they lowered their heads, feeling extremely shy.

Li Mulan was shocked. "Sister Fu and Sister Rong are engaged? How come I didn't know? Why didn't anyone tell me? Which family are they engaged to?"

Zhang slapped her head and said, "Oh, it's my fault, I forgot to tell you this. We started looking for a date long before you got married, and we just decided a few days ago. Fu girl is destined to be the youngest son of the Minister of Works. He is just 20 years old this year and has just passed the imperial examination. The Minister of Works's family took a liking to Fu girl at first sight."

When Li Fu heard this, her head almost buried in her chest.

"Your father and his family have also inquired about him. That child is good, has a good character, is steady, and is known for his kind temper. He is a perfect match for Fu'er."

Li Mulan blinked. "Minister of Works?" "Hmm... I don't know him."

Zhang continued, "Rong girl is going to marry a distant cousin from her mother's side. Although he is not a blood relative, he is very diligent in visiting her. The most important thing is that this child has a good character and temperament. Even your father has praised him. He is also about the same age as Rong'er. They are a perfect match."

Li Mulan secretly felt lucky that he was not her biological cousin...

"Sister Fu and Sister Rong are really something. They have come here so many times, but they didn't tell me such an important thing. Don't they treat me as their own sister?"

When Li Fu and Li Rong heard what Li Mulan said, they no longer cared about being embarrassed and hurriedly explained, "No, no, I thought my sister knew about it, so...so I didn't take the initiative to mention it."

"That's right, I don't know that my sister doesn't know about it."

Li Mulan snorted twice, "Okay then, I forgive you."

The two sisters then breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Only Zhang glared at her unhappily, "Only these two silly girls believed your lies."

Li Mulan stuck out her tongue and continued to struggle with the thing in her hand.

At this time, Xing Si came over in a hurry. The courtyard was full of female relatives. He bowed his head slightly and saluted Li Mulan, "Princess, the prince has sent a letter."

Li Mulan raised an eyebrow, "Hmm?"

Chu Chenfeng had been away for so long, and it seemed that he had not received any letters. She stood up with some doubt and took the letter from Xing Si, "Does the prince have something urgent for me to do?"

"Ahem!" Xing Si coughed lightly, "No, Princess, you misunderstood the prince. This... This is a letter from home, and there is also this."

Xing Si hurriedly took out a brocade box from his arms and handed it over, "This is also sent back to you by the prince."
