Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 163: Eastern Palace Flower Viewing Banquet

Wen Qingwan sent away all the maids around her. She carried the Saker Falcon into her small living room and carefully removed the family letter from its legs.

Then put it on the table next to it, take out spiritual spring water and food called ham sausage from the space and give it to it to eat.

Wen Qingwan held a large stack of letters from home and sat on the armchair, reading them slowly. Tonight, she didn't have time to eat melons about Xiao Jin from a distance.

The Saker Falcon drank a few sips of the spiritual spring water, looked at Wen Qingwan again, and then lowered his head to eat the ham. The man and the bird got along very harmoniously.

Xiao Jin's letter home did not mention that he was injured, nor did it mention that they were short of food.

Most of the time he told Wen Qingwan what he did and what he ate in a day, and he didn't lie.

Wen Qingwan had witnessed what he wrote, but he just concealed some things.

Wen Qingwan was a little angry that Xiao Jin lied to her, but when she saw his affectionate thoughts and his apology for not being by her side to take care of her, she felt a little angry.

She understood his good intentions, and if she were in his shoes now, she wouldn't want him to worry about her while he was so far away.

In recent years, the Great Sheng Dynasty has been plagued by foreign invasions. It is also because the peace and prosperity of the Great Sheng Dynasty has aroused the jealousy of other countries who want to compete for it.

But a year later, the Great Sheng Dynasty was also hit by continuous disasters, with droughts in the south and floods in the north, plus constant wars, and the people would soon be unable to make ends meet.

The emperor was in poor health and overworked, so he died within two years!

At the current border, as long as you have silver, you can buy food, so Wen Qingwan is not so worried that the soldiers will go hungry.

She took out 20,000 taels of silver from the 50,000 taels she earned and put it in the letter she had written home the night before.

"Knock knock knock, master, I've cut a large plate of meat and brought it." There was a knock on the door, followed by Jinyun's cheerful voice.

"Come in." Wen Qingwan said calmly, quickly sweeping the food on the table into the space.

"Chirp..." The Saker Falcon looked at Jinyun at the door and called out in dissatisfaction. It was very unhappy that this person came in and disturbed it from enjoying its delicious food.

"Haha... Master, look at this sea... The big eagle must be starving. He greeted me warmly when he saw me."

"Well, don't call it Big Eagle, Big Eagle, just call it Xiaoqing from now on." Wen Qingwan held back her laughter and said coldly.

"Jiji..." Haidongqing looked at Jinyun with contempt and rolled his eyes at her.

Jinlan, who came in with tea and fruit, said in surprise: "Haha, Master, look at this big eagle, it has become a spirit and is actually rolling its eyes at Jinyun!"

"Sister Jinlan, please don't talk nonsense. Xiaoqing is not rolling her eyes. She is just hungry and wants to please me."

"Are you sure Xiaoqing is trying to please you?" Jinlan put down the tray in her hand, looked at Haidongqing and then at Jinyun.

"Okay, you guys go out first, don't disturb Xiaoqing from eating, as soon as it's full it will fly to find the Marquis."

"Yes, master, I'm outside. Just call me if you have anything." Jinlan and Jinyun bowed and retreated.

"Chirp..." Haidongqing waited until the door closed before looking at Wen Qingwan eagerly.

Its meaning is very clear, it doesn't want to eat raw meat anymore, it wants to eat ham.

"You can't be so picky about food. Finish the meat on the plate first and then I'll give you the ham." Wen Qingwan laughed softly.

"Chirp..." Haidongqing and Wen Qingwan looked at each other for a while, then resigned themselves to their fate and ate the meat.

Ugh! The meat was very fresh and much tastier than what it had caught itself. It stopped pointing at the ham and ate it instead.

After it had eaten and drunk its fill, Wen Qingwan tied the letter from home and the medicine she had prepared earlier to the two legs of the Saker Falcon.

"Xiaoqing, take a rest for a while and then go find your master. I'll give you spiritual spring water and delicious food when I come back."

"Chirp..." No one knew that in the dead of night, a big eagle slowly flew into the night sky from a backyard of the Xiao Mansion.

Its graceful posture seems like a king in the sky, and the whizzing sound is like a beautiful melody.

Wen Qingwan saw the moonlight shining on the Saker Falcon's feathers, reflecting a mysterious and majestic light.

It used its sharp eagle eyes to glance at Wen Qingwan in mid-air before spreading its wings and flying completely into the night sky.

The trees in the yard swayed in the wind, making rustling sounds. After a busy day, Wen Qingwan washed up and went to bed.

The next day, Jinque went to Yunjin Store to get the size that Su Jiu had sent over, and Wen Qingwan helped her design a unique dress at home.

Xiao Yi helped to make it, and Wen Qingwan also designed one for herself and Xiao Yi.

Soon the day of the flower-viewing banquet in the East Palace arrived.

The only people from the Xiao family who went to attend the flower-viewing banquet were Wen Qingwan and Xiao Yi, as well as Xiao Lichuan who was going to promote Yunjin.

Other young men who are already engaged don't need to go and look for girls. They might as well do more work with that time.

Xiao Litao studied at home before the autumn examination, and Wen Qingwan helped him invite a great scholar to give lectures at home.

He knew everyone's expectations of him, and he himself also wanted to become famous like his older brother.

Xiao Jinying was beaten with a stick the last time she went to the palace, so she refused to go this time, no matter how her aunt scolded her.

She thought very clearly that her marriage would be chosen by the mistress of the house, and her aunt had no right to interfere.

Xiao Jinying now only wants to cling to her elder sister-in-law and doesn't want to fight for anything anymore. She learns to make clothes every day and is more diligent than anyone else.

Although Xiao Liyu is the legitimate daughter, her wish since childhood is to protect her younger brother who is born of the same mother. Nothing else matters.

Xiao Liting really wanted to go, but her aunt wouldn't let her go and even threatened her that she might not be able to come back alive if she went.

How could the little girl stand the intimidation from her aunt, so she gave up and just worked hard at making clothes in the mansion.

In the past, the sisters would compete with each other only to see who ate better and dressed better.

Now they eat the same food and wear the same clothes, and have no worries about food or clothing. There are fewer conflicts between the sisters, and they will share their little secrets with each other.

Although the Xiao brothers and sisters did not go to the East Palace to attend the flower-viewing banquet, they were still very worried about their eldest sister-in-law.

After breakfast, everyone sent Wen Qingwan and the others to the gate, and repeatedly told Xiao Lichuan and Xiao Yi to take good care of their sister-in-law.

Everyone looked at Wen Qingwan worriedly, while Wen Qingwan was looking at the clear blue sky.

"You all just go and work hard, we will be fine." Wen Qingwan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, her eyes gentle and calm.

East Palace.

The fragrance of flowers filled the air, the breeze blew, and the warm sunshine fell on everyone's face.

There are pots of gorgeous roses and clusters of elegant and luxurious orchids, each blooming with a different fragrance and brilliance.

The smiles of all the invited people were filled with happiness and joy, and they joined hands to enjoy this magnificent scenery.

Wen Qingwan was enjoying the beauty of the flowers blooming and falling when she suddenly saw a pretty girl in front of her slip.

She was pulling her companion's sleeve and falling backwards. Perhaps her companion's clothes were too strong, and when the girl fell into the water, her companion was also dragged into the lake.

"Oh no! My young lady has fallen into the water! Someone come quickly!" the maid shouted in panic.
