If Marquis Wu An wants to invite her to a banquet, she will naturally go.

Even if it wasn't for He Zhiyan's sake, it was also because of the fact that Marquis Wu An was standing behind the Eighth Prince. He Zhiyi was a capable general under Chu Jinyan, so naturally he had to deal with Marquis Wu An's house.

After hearing what Lu Xiang said, He Zhiyan rushed over and hugged her arm: "Xiang Xiang, why are you so cute?"

To have such a close friend in this life is like smoke rising from the ancestral graves.

"I accept your compliment." Lu Xiang raised his chin slightly and said with a smile.

This arrogant little look makes people feel even more pity and love.

He Zhiyan couldn't help but rub her face.

"Also, I'll ask Qiaoqiao to come with me when the time comes. How is Jingru doing lately? If my health permits, I'll come with you then." Then she added.

Lu Xiang nodded: "Okay, let me tell my sixth sister that my sister-in-law is less than three months pregnant and her fetus is a little unstable. I'll ask her later."

He knew: "Yes."

At the same time, someone from the Beijing Yingwei Yamen also sent an invitation to Song Yanjun.

Looking at the young man standing in front of him, Song Yanjun's stern eyebrows slightly twisted, and he said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Mr. He, for the invitation. However, I have been busy with business affairs recently, so I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the banquet."

He had never been familiar with the Marquis of Wu'an, and it felt strange that the old lady of the Marquis of Wu'an suddenly invited him to attend the birthday banquet.

The word "Master He" refers to He Xiong, the second eldest son of the He family, and He Yu's half-brother.

The boy seemed to have expected that Song Yanjun would say this, and respectfully raised his hands and said: "I am dissatisfied with the prince, although my lord is being rude, but it is for the sake of the second young lady of Duke Anguo's house."

"What should I say?" Song Yanjun looked at the young man for a moment.

The second young lady is Lu Xiang.

If it was related to Lu Xiang, Song Yanjun had to pay attention to it.

"It's like this. The eldest lady personally came to invite the second lady to attend the old lady's birthday banquet. However, the relationship between the fifth lady and the second lady is not harmonious. The fifth lady has always been holding a grudge. It is inevitable that the fifth lady will cause trouble on that day.

Something bad is coming, so my family thought of inviting the prince to come with us, so that we can always pay attention to the safety of the second young lady."

The boy said calmly.

Song Yanjun thought for a long time, then reached out and took the post: "Okay, then I'll forgive you."

When the young man said this, he was naturally worried that Lu Xiang was alone in the Wu'an Hou Mansion. Who knew whether the fifth lady of the He family would plot against her crazily. As an elder brother, he had the obligation to protect his sister's safety.

"You're welcome, Your Majesty. It's a great blessing for the He family to have you come." The servant said with a bright smile, "Then I'll take my leave now."

Song Yanjun nodded slightly.

He Zhiyan returned to the house and learned that He Yu was in the main courtyard. After thinking about it, he went to the main courtyard.

"Greetings to my father, I have met my mother."

When Mrs. Wu Anhou saw He Zhiyan, she became angry. She hummed expressionlessly, drank tea from a cup, and didn't want to talk to her at all.

He Yu smiled and asked He Zhiyan to sit down.

"I won't sit down." He Zhiyan smiled and said, "I came here to tell dad that the invitation has been given to Xiangxiang. She will attend my grandmother's birthday party. Since it is a banquet, I will make the decision.

I invited the eldest young lady and the sixth lady of the Lu family."

"Okay, they are all from the Lu family, as they should be." He Yu was in a very good mood, and he didn't care whether he invited one more or two more: "You have come over to help your mother with the birthday banquet in the past few days. People of your age are more

Know what you like."

"Master Hou, it's no need. It's enough for Minmin to help me." Mrs. Wu Anhou immediately interrupted He Yu's words.

What does the Marquis mean by asking He Zhiyan to help her with it? Does he want her to get into contact with these common affairs gradually?

Absolutely not.

He Yu didn't know what Mrs. Wu Anhou was thinking, but just said: "I didn't stop Minmin from helping you. It's just that Lu Xiang has a good relationship with Yan'er, so Yan Ran naturally knows her preferences better."

Mrs. Wu'an Hou glanced at He Zhiyan without any trace, and then said: "As the mistress of the Hou Mansion, wouldn't I still neglect the guests? Didn't the Marquis often tell me that our house should keep a low profile? Now Lu Xiang still

She is not married to the eighth prince, so the Marquis will hold her up so high that if others see it, he will laugh at our Wu'an Marquis Mansion for our lack of character."

She would never admit that she said the grapes were sour because she couldn't eat them.

"What's more, this is not the first time our family has invited her here. Didn't she have a great time at the last banquet held to celebrate the recovery of Yi'er?" After a pause, Mrs. Wu'an Hou said again.

Can that be the same?

He Yu said silently in his heart.

"Master Hou only needs to think about how to entertain the male guests in the front yard. As for the female family members, you can rest assured and leave it to me." Seeing that He Yu was silent, Mrs. Wu'an softened her attitude and said with a smile: "Master Marquis

Don’t forget to send a post to the Eighth Prince as well.”

When the time comes, the scenery will be that of their prince's mansion. Let's see who dares to look down on her secretly.

He Yu heard this and quickly shook his head and said: "There is no need for the Eighth Prince. It is not good to be in the limelight, but it is not good to be too much."

It's not like he hasn't thought about it, but he also knows that the eighth prince will not come to his stepmother's birthday banquet. He has no rank and no royal title, so there is no way for the prince to condescend to come to celebrate her birthday. Lu Xiang has not yet officially married.

In the past, there was no need to avoid suspicion.

"But..." Mrs. Wu Anhou wanted to say something else, but she was interrupted by He Yu just as she spoke.

"Okay, you should worry more about the birthday banquet. Don't worry about other things. It's enough to let your daughter get along well with those noble ladies from aristocratic families. As for the male guests, I know who to invite."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the housekeeper standing in the yard reporting: "Master Hou, the second master is here to discuss the old lady's birthday with you. He is sitting in the flower hall in the front yard."

"Father, mother, daughter has resigned." He Zhiyan said decisively.

"Well, go ahead. Don't stay bored in the house all the time. Go out for a walk more often." He Yu said to He Zhiyan with a smile.

He Zhiyan subconsciously looked at Mrs. Wu Anhou.

Mrs. Wu Anhou was so angry that she almost slammed the table and jumped up. What did the little bitch mean by looking at her? Do you want to take the opportunity to apply eye drops?

She clenched her fists tightly and glared at He Zhiyan, roaring angrily.

"I got it, dad." He Zhiyan only glanced at him, then quickly looked away and smiled lightly.

Until the father and daughter left, Mrs. Wu Anhou endured it again and again. She couldn't help but grabbed the cup at hand and threw it on the ground: "I am usually too nice to her, but now that my wings are hard, I have to fight against me. I thought

Will you be able to suppress me if you please the Marquis?"

If Zhonghe Zhiyan heard this, he might not be able to help but swear.

You actually have the nerve to say good things to her?

The maid Ruyue brought another cup of tea to Mrs. Wu'an Hou and whispered: "Madam, please calm down. The Marquis trusts and respects the madam and will never let the eldest lady suppress the madam. In the final analysis, it is because of the eldest lady's friendship with Miss Lu San."

Okay, that’s why I asked the Marquis to look at her with a special eye. The servant said something transgressive. Since the Marquis is now paying attention to the eldest lady, and since the Marquis has asked the eldest lady to go out more often, the wife will obey the Marquis.

I mean, don’t do it against me.”

"You are the legitimate mother. The fate of the eldest daughter is in the hands of the madam. There is really no need to anger the Marquis for this. The eldest daughter and Miss Lu San are on good terms. From the outside, it seems to outsiders that our Wu'an Marquis Mansion and the future Eight Emperors are the same.

It is also beneficial for the Fifth Miss to have good relations with the concubine. For the sake of the eldest lady, Miss Lu San is at least polite to our Fifth Miss. This is enough. With this trend, Madam can do a good job for the Fifth Miss.

A good marriage arrangement is better than anything else."

Ruyue is Mrs. Wu'anhou's confidant, and Mrs. Wu'anhou will listen to what she says no matter how angry she is.

So I took a few deep breaths, and the anger in my chest immediately dissipated a lot.

"You are right. There is really no need for me to have a quarrel with the Marquis because of He Zhiyan. She is just a daughter and cannot threaten my Yier's status." Mrs. Wu Anhou took a sip of tea and comforted herself.

Zhengguo also left such a daughter for the former Marquis of Wu'an, who did not pose any threat to her, so he allowed He Zhiyan to grow up to such a big age. If it was a son who occupies the status of the eldest son and would be justified in inheriting the title in the future, then she could

Absolutely not tolerated.

Ruyue smiled and pinched Mrs. Wu'anhou's shoulders: "Madam, I think the eldest lady is getting older. Madam will find a suitable match for her and get her married. In the future, there will no longer be this person in the house, and it will be done out of sight."

net."

It is true that the eldest lady is getting older, and the madam has been deliberately dragging her away. Even if she is trying to control her, if she continues like this, there will be an old girl in the Marquis of Wu'an's house who cannot get married, and her reputation will not be good.

"Yes." Mrs. Wu Anhou responded casually.

Which family wants to marry a sick young man back?

The person who came to propose marriage was either from a small family or with a disability. She applauded and wanted to marry He Zhiyan, but the Marquis was unwilling. She was the eldest daughter of the Marquis, even if she was not a good match, it couldn't be too different.

many.

Then the Marquis is not in a hurry, why should she be in a hurry?

Ru Yue noticed Mrs. Wu Anhou's impatience and said nothing more.

Three days later, Lu Xiang took Lu Qiao to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion.

Qiao Jingru thought about it, but still didn't go. Nothing was as important as the child in her belly right now. There were so many people at the banquet and it was so noisy. If she accidentally fell down, there would really be no place for her to cry.

Not long after Lu Xiang and Lu Qiao left, Shen Pin came.

When Qiao Jingru heard this, she quickly put down her embroidery work and went out to greet him.

"Fifth sister." As soon as Shen Pin saw Qiao Jingru, he called her affectionately.

Qiao Jingru smiled and said, "Hello, Sister Shen."

Ever since Qiao and Shen's family exchanged invitations, Shen Pin has had a fifth sister, and Qiao Jingru has also treated her as a sister. Although Shen Pin is not older than her, she is already her definite second sister-in-law, not counting Shen's sister-in-law.

Take advantage of hiring.

The two of them entered the Nuan Pavilion and sat down. Qiao Jingru ordered Liangchen to serve tea.

"When I heard that you were pregnant, I ordered people to collect Baijia cloth and sewed this Baijia quilt quickly and slowly. I didn't come to congratulate you immediately. Please don't be angry with me."

Shen Pindao.
