Wang Xiu declined, not wanting to enter the palace.
The eldest princess put the post directly into her hand and said domineeringly: "I'm just going home with you, what's inappropriate?"
"Don't worry, my father's harem is very peaceful. You can't even see a ripple. Then just follow me and I will take you around. The scenery in the palace is very good."
Wang Xiu's eyes flashed with anticipation, but more of it was anxiety, and she still wanted to refuse.
But the eldest princess glared at her and said: "I have personally come to the Wang family to invite you. If you don't go, then I won't come to the Wang family next time."
Wang Xiu: "..."
"Oh well."
The eldest princess smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm just taking you for a walk, not taking you to the Hongmen Banquet."
Wang Xiu still found it incredible that she had just returned to Beijing and met with the legendary palace banquet.
This feeling was very strange, as if the palace banquet was just to welcome her, but she knew it was impossible, but she couldn't control her reverie, and she was somewhat curious after all.
After the eldest princess left, she showed the post to Lu Yunhong.
Lu Yunhong said: "Since it is the invitation from the eldest princess, I want to take you to play, so just go with peace of mind."
Wang Xiudao: "Don't worry, that's the palace."
Lu Yunhong smiled and said: "The palace is very strict, but it is not as dangerous as you think. The eldest princess has a very high status in the palace, and all the concubines will act based on her face. Knowing that you are a distinguished guest invited by the eldest princess,
How dare I embarrass you?"
"Besides, there must not be many people who can attend this palace banquet. They are either relatives of the emperor or relatives of the ministers. If my guess is correct, it should be that the emperor wants to choose a new princess for the prince."
Wang Xiudao: "Then I am accompanying the guest?"
Lu Yunhong smiled and said: "What if it's not the case? What are you thinking about?"
Wang Xiu said bluntly: "I was wondering if you could accompany me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Man's voice came in: "If you can go, His Highness has sent someone to deliver the message. He asked me to take Yun Hong into the palace together."
Lu Yunhong was calm and composed, as if he had expected it.
Wang Xiu was overjoyed and said happily: "That's great, I can go and play with the eldest princess with peace of mind."
Wang Man glanced at his sister and shook his head helplessly: "Is Lu Yunhong so good?"
Wang Xiu replied: "Isn't the fifth sister-in-law bad?"
Wang Man said in frustration: "Okay, why is it not good? Besides, I dare to say it is not good? If your fifth sister-in-law gets angry with me, my mother will not help me."
"It's strange to say that in other families, sons are valued over daughters, but in our family it's the other way around. In other families, the mother-in-law is evil, and the one who is wronged is the daughter-in-law. In our family, the mother-in-law is kind, and the one who is wronged is the son."
"Hey, it must be that I didn't choose the right person when I was reincarnated."
Wang Xiu said proudly: "Humph, if I ask you to choose again, you will have to go back and be reincarnated."
Wang Man was surprised and asked: "Why?"
Wang Xiudao: "Because there are parents, brothers, and me in this family. More importantly, if you change your family and reincarnate, you may not meet the fifth sister-in-law. Not to mention the children, just what I just said
, who do you think you can let go of?"
Wang Man thought about it carefully and found that no one could let him go.
He was immediately surprised and said: "Good sister, I didn't expect that you still have the talent to meditate on Zen and enlightenment?"
Wang Xiu said arrogantly: "What about the talent of meditating and enlightening the Tao? I just want to tell you that if I had to do it over again, I would still be the daughter of the Wang family."
Wang Man clapped his hands and praised it, and the brother and sister laughed together, feeling that their time was just right and their spring was worthy of it.
Lu Yunhong, who was standing next to them, was also stunned. The smile at the corner of his mouth disappeared at some point, and his expression became complicated.
He glanced at Wang Xiu...and then at Wang Man, as if something was passing through his heart, so fast that he couldn't fathom it.
However, for a moment, just a breath of time, it seemed that he was only separated from the truth by a thin mist. Unfortunately, it was only such a small distance, but he still could not find out.
After Wang Man left, Wang Xiu happily went to pick out clothes.
Lu Yunhong looked at her back, thought for a moment, and then followed Wang Man out.
When he reached the verandah, he called Wang Man.
"Fifth brother, wait."
Wang Man turned around and saw Lu Yunhong chasing after him, and said with a smile: "What's wrong? You don't have any clothes to choose from, so why don't you come and lend me one?"
Lu Yunhong said: "Axiu's temperament, doesn't Fifth Brother think it has changed a lot?"
Wang Man asked strangely: "Isn't she always like this? No matter how old or small she is, what's so strange about her?"
"I'm telling you, it's much better now, but it was worse than this before. One time I provoked her somehow, and she was about to chop me with a knife. Fortunately, I ran fast."
"Of course, she was just scaring me. But she was only twelve years old at the time, and she dared to scare her own brother with a knife at the age of twelve. Think about it yourself."
After saying that, he patted Lu Yunhong on the shoulder sympathetically.
Lu Yunhong: "..."
…
Zhongyongbo Mansion, Zheng Family.
The royal family was going to hold a banquet, but unfortunately they didn't receive the message.
Mrs. Zhongyongbo, Mrs. Zhou, was so anxious that the corner of her mouth was blistering. She ordered people to ask around to see whose family had obtained the post. At the same time, she couldn't help complaining that her husband was incompetent, otherwise the royal family would dare to bully her daughter like this?
Uncle Zhongyong has given up on his eldest daughter. As long as the emperor's grandson has the blood of the Zheng family, the emperor will still care about it and will not make trouble for the Zheng family.
In this way, if the children and grandchildren of the Zheng family suffer for a few more years, they may be able to make it through when the emperor's grandson grows up.
Therefore, he was not as restless as his wife. On the contrary, seeing his wife so flustered, he felt much relieved.
He just wanted to teach his wife a lesson. The royal family would not act according to her ideas. She would only speculate on the royal family and carefully cater to the royal family's preferences. There would be no royal family to predict her and cater to her preferences.
If she still can't see clearly, what if there is another princess in the Zheng family?
Thinking of this, Uncle Zhongyong thought of his youngest daughter again. She was the best candidate for the crown princess in his mind. Unfortunately... she was not very lucky.
Zheng Sihan came to the study at this time, which made Zhongyongbo's mood become more complicated.
He asked: "Why, you also want to go to the palace for a banquet?"
Zheng Sihan said: "My mother just found out that the eldest princess personally sent an invitation to Wang Xiu."
Uncle Zhongyong raised his eyebrows in surprise, thinking that this was strange. However, when he thought that the Wang family and the prince were one, they both prospered and suffered losses. In addition, Wang Xiu once rescued the eldest princess, so he felt relieved.
"You have been to the eldest princess's residence to visit your great-grandson these past two days. Didn't the eldest princess mention to you who you want to be your great-grandson's mother?"
Zheng Sihan shook his head.
Just when Uncle Zhongyong was disappointed, Zheng Sihan said: "But my daughter found out another thing, which is also about the grandson."
Uncle Zhongyong asked quickly: "When?"
Zheng Sihan said seriously: "The grandson's marriage."
