âThen itâs a deal. Also, make some butterfly pastries for me. I love them.â
âAlright, I prepared two pounds for you.â Zhou Ying replied.
Then, she stood up. âLetâs go. Arenât you worried about Wanning? Letâs go out and support her.â
âLetâs go. We canât let them bully her.â After Mingyu finished speaking, she walked out first.
Zhou Ying smiled and followed.
They realized the Emperor had prepared a lavish party when they arrived outside. Not only were the relatives of the Imperial Family here, but even the civil and military officials had also arrived. In short, it was very lively outside.
Everyone was surrounding Gu Wanning and the First Prince and presenting their gifts.
âAuntie.â The Eldest Princess waved at Zhou Ying.
âNannan, were you a good girl?â Zhou Ying walked over and asked.
âI good. Mill. Broke down.â After the Eldest Princess finished speaking, she took out the pinwheel and handed it to her.
Zhou didnât know how she played with it, but the core of the straws in the middle of the paper was broken, so the pinwheel couldnât turn.
Zhou Ying asked the nanny to bring the rest of the stalks over. She repaired them and blew hard. After ensuring the pinwheel could move, she returned them to her. âItâs done.â
âImperial grandmother, I want it too.â At this moment, a little boy spoke.
âMother, I want it too,â another child shouted.
âMe too.â
âMe tooâ¦â
âNo, bad!â The Eldest Princess hid the pinwheel behind the previous Empress Dowager and looked at the children nearby fiercely.
âHaha, our little princess is scared.â The previous Empress Dowager smiled and then looked at Zhou Ying. âYing, is this pinwheel easy to make?
âIf itâs easy to make, I will get someone to help you make one for each child.â
âItâs easy. I just donât know if itâs easy to find the stalks of straws in the palace.â Zhou Ying said.
The previous Empress Dowager looked at the Eldest Princessâ nanny because she had found this thing.
âI will go get it now.â After Nanny finished speaking, she turned around and walked away.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying looked for Nanny Yu and asked her to find some paper and paint.
When the nanny came over with the stalks, they got busy.
As soon as they started, the women with children surrounded them and began to learn.
After all, it was obvious that this thing was easy to break. If they broke it, they would be embarrassed to come begging for a pinwheel.
Fortunately, the pinwheel was easy to make. As long as one had a brain, they would basically understand it after Zhou Ying finished it.
Seeing this, all of them also helped out.
âZhou Ying, your husbandâs appointment as Marquis is such a big deal. Arenât you going to treat us?â Mrs. Sun asked.
âYeah, itâs been almost a month. Are you really not going to hold a party?â Consort An echoed.
âNo, my daughter is still young, and Chengrui is busy with the construction of the medical center. He doesnât have the energy to do it.
âHow about this, when the year-end wine matures, I will give each family two jars of wine to thank everyone for their blessings.â
âWeâll remember that. You canât go back on your word when the time comes.â Consort Xian smiled.
âNo problem. You can ask me for it if you donât get it by then.â
âHow much wine can you brew?â The previous Empress Dowager asked curiously.
The others perked up their ears when they heard that. After all, red wine was not as strong as white wine. It had a hint of sweetness and was very popular among women.
âLet me put it this way. One acre of land can produce about 300 pounds of wine. I grow 350 acres of grapes.â
âOh my god, thereâs so much. Iâll make it clear first. When the time comes, youâll leave me 200 pounds.â Mingyu immediately went forward when she heard that.
âYes, yes, weâll also order 100 pounds.â
âWeâll give you 300 pounds.â
