After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Chapter 485: Flower Viewing Parade

Looking at her elder daughter who was becoming more and more beautiful and her younger daughter who was round and adorable, Zhao Ying's heart felt like it had been fished out of lava and put back into a gurgling stream.

"Mom, I want to go play with my big sister tomorrow!"

The little guy threw himself into Zhao Ying's arms and said excitedly.

Shangguan Qingwan nodded, "Mother, I heard that the people will celebrate the Hundred Flowers Festival tomorrow night. There will be many novel performances and flower boat parades. It sounds very lively. I want to take my sister to watch it!"

Zhao Ying wondered, "Does the capital have this tradition?"

How come she hasn't heard of it?

Shangguan Qingwan said, "There wasn't any before. It seems that a group of wealthy businessmen from Huaiyang came to pray to the gods for good weather and prosperous business in the coming year!"

"Oh."

Zhao Ying added, "Then let me take you along, and Cheng Jing and the others..."

"No, no, no!" Shangguan Qingwan was a little flustered, "I asked, they won't go."

"and……"

Zhao Ying saw through Shangguan Qingwan's concealment. She narrowed her eyes and asked, "And what?"

"And it was Uncle Henglin who invited Big Sister out. They wanted to go on a date!"

Shangguan Qingwan's shoulders suddenly drooped and she looked at Zhao Ying pleadingly.

Zhao Ying understood.

I couldn't help but laugh when I felt helpless. Er Xiao's mother, her daughter values ​​a man's appearance just like she does!

Zhao Ying frowned, "No! You are a man and a woman. Although he looks seven or eight years older than you, he is still a man. How can mother let you go out with a man?"

Shangguan Qingwan said weakly, "But there is also Yue'er..."

Shangguan Qingyue raised his chin and patted his chest, saying, "Yes, there's me too. Don't worry, mother, I will take care of them!"

Shangguan Qingwan smiled in response, and the next second, she heard Shangguan Qingyue say, "I will never let big sister take advantage of Uncle Henglin!"

Shangguan Qingwan: ...

Shangguan Qingwan blushed and glared, "I...how could I take advantage of him? I am a woman after all, and if anyone is taking advantage, it should be him who takes advantage of me!"

Shangguan Qingyue nodded obediently repeatedly because of the threatening gaze from his sister, "Yes, yes, yes! He took advantage of you."

"That's right!" Shangguan Qingwan felt that her little sister was so cute and gullible, so adorable. She reached out and patted the little girl's head.

Shangguan Qingwan assured him again and again, "Mother, Mr. Heng has no other intentions, he just..." As she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh, "Maybe he saw that my daughter was too tired from schoolwork recently, so he wanted to take her out to relax. Mr. Heng specifically asked me to bring Yue'er with me. You see, his mind is so pure..."

Zhao Ying laughed, "Chunjie can't go there either."

Shangguan Qingwan: ...

Shangguan Qingyue covered his mouth and laughed.

Zhao Ying said earnestly, "With your looks, he has no interest in you. He is either blind or stupid. No matter how handsome a man is, he is meaningless."

Shangguan Qingwan simply couldn't listen. This was the first time that Mr. Heng asked her out. The thought of being able to appreciate the flowers under the moon and drink alone among the flowers with Heng Lin was such a wonderful thing!

Shangguan Qingwan saw that Zhao Ying disagreed, so she hugged her arm and pouted, "Mother, please let me go, I beg you..."

Shangguan Qingyue saw this and held his mother's arms with both hands, shaking them vigorously, "Mother, please agree to my elder sister!"

[If you don't agree, how can I have fun with my third brother? ]

What does it mean to have fun with Senior Brother Three?

Zhao Ying and Shangguan Qingwan didn't think about anything else. They thought Shangguan Qingyue also wanted to go out and play with Henglin. Zhao Ying was doting on the children, so after such a request, Zhao Ying surrendered after a short while.

"Okay, go ahead, but I'll have a few guards follow you. Be careful outside and be back before midnight!"

"Okay, mother! I love you the most!" Shangguan Qingwan kissed Zhao Ying excitedly.

After the kiss, Shangguan Qingyue was seen rubbing his hands and looking at her expectantly. Shangguan Qingwan smiled and leaned over to kiss the little guy, who smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, Mom, I'm going back to sleep!"

The next day, Shangguan Qingwan spent the whole day picking out clothes and jewelry. Her face was filled with the shyness and joy of a young girl in love. While looking at herself in the bronze mirror, she asked the maid beside her, "Lamei, why do you think Mr. Heng asked me out to appreciate the flowers?"

"Why doesn't he ask someone else out?"

In this regard, Lamei also had something to say, "Yes, Mr. Heng usually looks cold and detached from the world, but I didn't expect he could be so sentimental."

Shangguan Qingwan was complacent, "Maybe Lengmo just hasn't met that person yet. If he does, he'll get it!"

Seeing her young master happy, Lamei was also happy and responded, "That's right!"

Shangguan Qingwan felt as if thousands of fireworks were exploding in her heart. She couldn't help but cover her hot face and said shyly, "Oh, if he really likes me, what should I do? Mother will definitely not agree with me being with a teacher, and father doesn't like him either!"

"But apart from these material possessions, Mr. Heng is handsome and talented..." Shangguan Qingwan's tone was full of regret.

Lamei pursed her lips, helpless, this is just where...

Lamei advised, "Miss, don't think too much about it. Just enjoy the flowers tonight."

Shangguan Qingwan took a deep breath and calmed down. She nodded, "That's right, let's enjoy the flowers first!"

She looked down at the dress on her body and was not satisfied with it no matter how she looked at it, so she simply ordered, "You! You! You! You! Go buy me the latest styles from the clothing and jewelry stores in the capital right now. And you, go to the palace and ask the queen for her butterfly-shaped amber tassel hairpin and tell her that I want to wear it."

"Slave, you obey!"

As soon as Shangguan Qingwan gave the order, everyone in the yard became busy. Servants came in and out the whole afternoon, carrying in boxes one after another. It was quite a big scene.

Xitang came out from the side yard upon hearing the sound, took a look, and then smiled sarcastically.

She muttered to herself, "How dare a lowly mortal covet the ancestor of gods... Ridiculous!"

"Tonight, I'll open your eyes..."

"Xitang, what are you doing here?"

Xitang turned around upon hearing the voice, with a cool and indifferent expression on her face. She said in a cool tone, "God Ancestor, I'm watching... Miss Qingwan seems to be overthinking."

Heng Lin frowned slightly and followed her gaze, looking at the servants who were coming and going carrying boxes and wooden tables, which were filled with women's decorations.

His eyes fixed, and then he whispered, "Don't worry about her, proceed as planned tonight."

Xitang's lips curled slightly, "Don't worry, God Ancestor, Xitang will feed the Qilin blood to that little devil right away."

After saying this, she changed her body shape and appearance, dressing like a maid in the princess's mansion.

No one around noticed.

Heng Lin nodded slightly and said, "You better be careful."

"Don't worry, God Ancestor." Xitang turned and walked towards Zhao Ying's yard, with a plate of chestnut cakes suddenly in his hand.
