Chapter 17 His Expectation
The current situation of the Duke's Mansion is very delicate. When the old Duke was here, it was at its peak, and outsiders looked at the scenery, but it was like walking on thin ice.

When a family is too powerful and overshadows the royal family, it will be feared, which is not a good sign.

Because the Duke's Mansion made great achievements in the early years, the position of Duke has always been hereditary. The old Duke proposed to the emperor many times that the third son, who is the most honest and thoughtless, should be the successor of the Duke, but the Emperor never agreed.

Until the old Duke passed away for so many years, no candidate was confirmed.

Just when everyone guessed that the emperor intended to use this to weaken the Duke's Mansion and let it wither, he suddenly planned to announce the Duke's candidate, making it difficult to guess his thoughts.

As the most favored prince today, Chu Yi held the imperial decree in his hand to represent the emperor to celebrate the birthday of the Duke and his wife, which is even more reminiscent.After the birthday celebration started today, Chu Yi didn't say anything, but kept looking in the direction of the kitchen, intriguing.

Dong Fuyu's voice was very low, Chu Yi was the only one who heard it, took a sip of wine, smiled at her and said, "It's better to drink the peach blossom brew from Mrs. Guo Gong."

He obviously didn't want to answer, so Dong Fuyu didn't continue to ask. He put away the light in the depths of his eyes and showed a loving expression, "It seems that next year I will hide in another place, so I can't be found by you, a bad boy."

Dong Fuyu is the distant aunt of the current empress, and she is considered to be some relatives, plus Chu Yi likes to come over to steal drinks when he was young, and occasionally jokes.

……

After the joke, the food tasting continued, but there were only three people left behind, and they were about to finish tasting.

Mrs. Guo has been secretly observing Chu Yi's expression, seeing that he is not very interested in the few dishes served, she frowned, and said to the woman beside her: "I remember it was fifteen girls, why are you doing this?" Only fourteen?"

There are dozens of grandchildren, granddaughters, grandsons, and granddaughters in total, and she can remember the ones she keeps around and likes.

If Chu Yi hadn't looked at it a few more times today, she wouldn't have cared how many people were cooking for birthday celebrations.

Dong Fuyu didn't lower his voice, everyone around him listened.

Meng Xiaomei was anxious, she kept her eyes on the kitchen from time to time, if Xu Jiaan hadn't been pulling her, she would have stood up to check.

Xu Jia'an didn't take it seriously, he didn't expect too much from Xu Junluo, and he was warned by the General's Mansion earlier, he was restless, wishing that Xu Junluo would not show up.

The mother-in-law who was following Dong Fuyu wanted to ask, but Xu Zimeng stood up, "If you go back to grandma, Zimeng accidentally knocked over sister Junluo's food box earlier, she might be—"

Although the latter words were not spoken, everyone could understand them.

Chu Yi was still drinking without raising his head.Seeing that Chu Yi didn't respond, Dong Fuyu couldn't help frowning, isn't he waiting for the girl who hasn't appeared yet?

"Forget it, I don't blame that girl for this matter, let her come over and have dinner together." She said this because of Chu Yi, and if Chu Yi really had any thoughts about the girl who didn't show up, it wouldn't be too difficult.

It's just that her words have different meanings when she hears other people's mouths, and some people can't help but feel jealous.

"Back to grandma, Sister Weiyu and I have left ingredients for Second Sister. She is preparing in the kitchen and wants to wish her birthday."

Xu Yuehe's complexion was a little gloomy, she wondered what to do if Xu Junluo couldn't come up with food this time.

But just as she finished speaking, soft footsteps came from the direction of the kitchen, and Xu Junluo walked slowly with a food box...
