"Although this birthday banquet was held in Ganquan Palace, it was not far from the harem after all. In order to facilitate the entry and exit of male guests, the original dinner was changed to a luncheon. In the afternoon, there were activities such as garden parties and poetry dances. About It will end before the key to the dark palace gate is reached."
Uncle Zhou explained in detail: "If Miss Shen is not interested in the afternoon's itinerary, you can find an excuse to leave after the banquet is over, and you don't have to stay very late. Do you need me to prepare a carriage in advance to pick you up at the palace gate?"
Xiao Lingyue nodded: "Just estimate the time when the banquet will end and send a carriage over. I will come out in advance."
"Okay." Uncle Zhou agreed.
The room is filled with clothes and jewelry of various colors, and invitations and gift lists are ready.
Uncle Zhou looked at the time and said, "Miss Shen, go change first. It's almost time to go out."
After a pause, he added: "The concubine's side is almost ready. I have arranged two carriages and we will set off together later."
"I know." Xiao Lingyue was too lazy to object and was about to go into the house to change clothes.
Hanhan couldn't help but rushed over to her, hugged her waist, raised her head and said pitifully: "Mom, can't you really take me with you? I want to go too..."
Xiao Lingyue touched his cheek and said amusedly: "Have you finished copying your book?"
"Not yet." Han Han's face fell.
"Then how are you going?" Xiao Lingyue raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Your father has issued an order that you will be grounded until the copy is finished. There are guards guarding the outside of the yard."
Hanhan said: "Mom, you can take me out~"
"No." Xiao Lingyue refused calmly: "I'm afraid that if I fly halfway, my father will shoot me down with a bow and arrow, and both of us will die together."
Hanhan: "......"
His mother just didn't want to take him with her, and she even gave such perfunctory excuses.
The little guy puffed up his cheeks.
Beibei walked up to him with a straight face and pulled him out: "Stop being such a spoiled brat. If mother says you can't do it, it won't do. I'll just copy your book."
"Wow, Beibei is so cold, like an old man teaching..." Hanhan muttered softly.
Beibei narrowed his eyes: "What did you say?"
Hanhan shook his head quickly and covered his mouth with his little hand: "I didn't say anything."
Xiao Lingyue watched the two children playing with treasures, couldn't help but smile knowingly, and went to the back room to change clothes.
She really didn't want to bring her two children into the palace to attend the banquet.
Beibei had always been obedient, which was fine. The main reason was that Hanhan was so good at coquettishness and had been pestering her to go together. Xiao Lingyue was really worried that she couldn't handle it, so she agreed with a soft heart.
No need to worry now.
Zhan Beihan punished Hanhan for copying books and also banned his feet.
Before the little guy had copied it three times, he couldn't even leave the yard, so that Xiao Lingyue wouldn't have to find another reason to refuse.
From this point of view, Zhan Beihan has done a good thing.
Zhan Beihan himself did not attend Concubine Shu's birthday party. Only Xiao Lingyue and Xie Yurui received the invitation and would go out together later, riding in two carriages.
After Xiao Lingyue changed her clothes, the maid came over with a jewelry box and asked her what hairstyle she wanted to wear.
Xiao Lingyue had no idea of dressing up carefully, and casually gave instructions: "Just wear your hair in a normal bun, pull your hair up, wear less decorations, keep it fresh and clean."
The maid was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly responded: "Yes."
The two maids worked together, quickly and quickly, and quickly finished combing the hair, inserting two hairpins at random for decoration.
Xiao Lingyue rejected the maid's move of thrusting and shaking her head: "That's enough."
The maid couldn't help but said: "County Master, isn't this a little too plain? I heard that the concubine got up early this morning to dress up. Her clothes and jewelry were very grand. The county master and the concubine entered the palace together.
, if it’s too plain, wouldn’t it mean that it would be compared to others?” This chapter has been completed!
