The next day at noon, Yan Funing delivered food to the pavilion in the eastern suburbs just like she did yesterday.

Not only were there more cut fruits and vegetables, but more than a dozen dishes were completely different from yesterday. The only thing that was the same was that they were just as delicious.

Even the food of the geese and dogs was changed.

It can be seen that the little girl in front of him is quite thoughtful.

Old Master Yu smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Yan girl, you serve food like this, and we old guys have become picky eaters."

Old Master Yuan said, "Girl Yan, your grandfather doesn't feel bad for you, but I do. Starting tomorrow, don't send any more vegetables. It's too hot, what if they get sunburned?"

"Speaking of which, how can I not feel sorry for him?" The old Duke looked around angrily, "The dishes cooked by my granddaughter are delicious. If you old friends want to eat them again in the future, go to Chengwenlou on East Third Street. That is the restaurant opened by my granddaughter."

Everyone said, "I've got it, I've got it, Chengwen Building on East Third Street."

The old Duke then looked at Yan Funing gently and said, "Girl, tell me, what do you need Grandfather's help with?"

"grandfather."

Yan Funing raised her hand, indicating that she wanted to talk in private.

After all, the old men in the pavilion were all grandfathers from powerful and noble families, so it would not be appropriate for too many people to know that she wanted to refuse the marriage.

The old Duke nodded, put his hands behind his back, and walked to the river.

Yan Funing followed closely.

After making sure that no one in the pavilion could hear him, the old Duke said, "It's okay to speak frankly. It's hard for you to cook and deliver food for two days in a row."

Yan Funing pursed her lips and said, "Grandfather, my granddaughter does not want to marry Prince Chi. She wants to marry Lord Fu. Please make the decision, Grandfather!"

Hearing this, the old Duke looked across the river and murmured, "As for husband and wife, the original spouse is still the best."

Yan Funing choked up. Seeing her grandfather's serious expression, as if he was missing her, she boldly asked, "Grandfather, are you thinking about my dear grandmother?"

"Yes." The old Duke nodded. "She and I were young husband and wife, how could I not miss her? There is a space for me in your grandmother's grave. When I am a hundred years old, I will be buried with her."

Yan Funing called softly, "Grandfather..."

I have many questions in my mind.

For example, after my grandmother passed away, why did my grandfather find the current old lady Yan as his second wife?

In the end, I couldn't ask.

The old Duke raised his hand and touched the top of Yan Funing's head: "Girl, Grandfather will go to the palace soon, you go back home and wait for my news."

"Thank you, Grandfather!" Yan Funing bowed.

The grandparents and grandchildren returned to the pavilion.

The old Duke said in a loud voice: "Old fellows, accompany me to the palace and bring our dog and goose."

After all, they were friends who had been together for many years, so the old men did not ask why he had entered the palace, but just said hello.

After more than half an hour, the convoy entered the city.

Except for two carriages heading towards East Third Street, the rest were heading towards the Imperial Palace.

Another half hour later, the old Duke and his entourage entered the palace smoothly.

The geese waddled and the dogs capered with joy.

This attracted the attention of many palace maids and eunuchs along the way.

When they arrived at the Queen Mother's Palace, the old Duke took the lead in paying respects: "Greetings to the Queen Mother!"

The Queen Mother had taken a rest at noon and was still in good spirits.

She smiled as she looked at the old man kneeling on the ground and asked, "What brings you here?"

The group of old men in front of him were all around sixty years old, which was about the same age as the emperor.

It can be said that she watched them grow up.

The old Duke raised his head and said, "Old sister, the younger brothers are here to entertain you."

"Okay, I'm just bored." The Queen Mother said slowly, "If it's really fun, I'll reward you."

Everyone stood up.

"Let's have a fancy goose fight first."

At the old Duke's command, the two big white geese from the Yuan family and the Yu family started fighting.

After all, they couldn't let the Queen Mother see a goose fight that was too intense, so the two old masters kept gesturing to their own geese.

The two geese also understood the situation. They flapped their wings and looked ferocious, but they didn't even peck off a single feather.

The Queen Mother clapped her hands and laughed: "You chased each other, just like a young couple quarreling."

The old Duke said again: "Old sister, let's enjoy the geese flying."

"Can we cross the lake?" asked the Queen Mother. "Yes, of course we can."

"Fly one."

The old Duke responded and a whistle sounded.

The geese, led by Tenglong, flew away in response.

They are all in unison, very impressive.

Not only that, they can fly to the other side of the lake and fly back in unison, which is amazing to watch.

The Queen Mother was delighted: "The goose is indeed capable, but what about the dog? It can't just bark a few times, right?"

"How can that be possible?"

The old Duke snapped his fingers.

An old man immediately took out a few iron rings and placed them on the wooden frame. There seemed to be something wrapped around the iron rings, which caught fire when lit with a fire stick.

In such hot weather, the fire lit up so brightly that it was difficult for people to open their eyes.

"on!"

The old Duke gave orders again.

Led by Xiaohu, the dogs passed through the fire ring one after another without any harm.

It was a hot day, so the old duke asked the palace maid to bring ice cubes for the dogs to cool down.

Seeing the dogs panting with their tongues hanging out, the Queen Mother nodded repeatedly: "You are so thoughtful. Rewards, all of you will be rewarded."

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" everyone expressed their gratitude.

After bestowing the rewards, the Queen Mother used the excuse of being tired to ask them all to leave, leaving only the old Duke.

"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

She is over eighty years old, indeed old, but not confused.

There must be a reason why I spend so much effort to make her happy.

The old Duke then said, "My granddaughter has developed feelings for the boy from the Fu family. The Emperor previously granted a marriage between the boy from the Fu family and the girl from the Cai family, forcing them to separate. Now, my elder sister has issued an imperial decree to grant the marriage. Isn't this letting the lovers…"

He frowned.

Although they call her "old sister" all the time, the royal family members are not easy to deal with.

They were moody and he couldn't figure out their temper.

For example, the Empress Dowager liked to hear these old friends call her "Old Sister", but the Emperor disagreed.

After all, the emperor was about the same age as them, and shouting like that made it seem as if the emperor was a generation younger.

In fact, his daughter Yan Yu was the wife of Prince Cheng, and Prince Cheng and the emperor were brothers. In terms of seniority, the emperor was indeed younger.

But the emperor was so pleased that they only dared to call her "old sister" in the Empress Dowager's palace, and that was only when the emperor was not there.

The Queen Mother smiled and continued, "Do you want me to take back the imperial decree?"

It was indeed the royal family that broke up the couple, but now they are still begging for help.

The old Duke bowed deeply and said, "I hope you will grant my permission, elder sister!"

The Queen Mother suppressed her smile.

For a moment, the hall was silent.

The old Duke thought that if he returned home like this today, he might make some little girl sad.

The girl was busy for two days in a row.

When they were having their meal, the girl didn't eat anything at all. I feel really sorry for her when I think about it now.

Thinking of this, his bow posture became even lower.

The Queen Mother squinted her eyes and almost dozed off, but suddenly she sat up straight with a start and said, "Okay."

The old Duke was afraid that the Queen Mother would change her mind, so he shouted, "Thank you!"

After thanking him, he turned to leave, but the Queen Mother stopped him, "Wait."

"Old sister?"

"The imperial decree granting marriage can be withdrawn, but I have one condition."

"Please tell me!"

"Your little girl can relieve Ah Chi's symptoms, and she has great medical skills. Let her research a prescription, preferably one that can cure Ah Chi's symptoms. If Ah Chi gets sick in the future, she will have to go and treat him. Do you agree?" (End of this chapter)
