The banquet at Zhennan Palace is scheduled for December 27th.
Early in the morning, Mrs. Chen led Wuqing to Xie Wu's house.
Wu Qing opened the box in his hand and saw that it was filled with jewelry, including golden silk inlaid with rubies, double luan dots and jade steps, white jade plum blossom hairpin, red gold and peony tassel hairpins with rubies, red emerald drop earrings, and gold inlays.
Dongzhu earrings, twisted silk double-ring white jade bracelet...
"Mother, what are you doing?" Xie Wu was a little dizzy from the box full of jewelry.
"Aren't you going to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion for a banquet soon? I think you should need these." Mrs. Chen said with a smile, seeing Xie Wu frowning slightly, thinking that she didn't like the style of these jewelry, so
He added hurriedly, "Although these jewelry are not the latest styles, they are more unique and attractive. I originally ordered some of the latest jewelry for you at Linlang Pavilion, but the shopkeeper of Linlang Pavilion said that it is approaching the end of the year and is really busy.
But come here, I’m afraid the first batch of noodles won’t be delivered until the day after tomorrow.”
"Girl, just keep it. This is also Madam's wish." Wu Qing said with a smile beside her.
Xie Wu raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Chen and saw that she was holding the handkerchief in her hand tightly, looking a little uneasy. Her eyebrows moved involuntarily, "Mother is interested." After that, she took the handkerchief from the box.
He took out the red gold hairpin with rubies and peony tassels, raised his hand and inserted the hairpin into his temple, "Miyue, put the box away."
"Yes." Miyue responded with a smile.
A smile suddenly appeared in Chen's eyes, and after a while, the smile spread to his entire face.
She is really happy.
This was the first time Ah Wu accepted her overtures.
As soon as Mrs. Chen turned around, she saw him running in wearing a royal blue chinchilla coat, with the collar still a little wrinkled.
"Why are you running in such a hurry?" Mrs. Chen said, reaching out to straighten his clothes.
Xie Xu grinned and said, "I'm not afraid that you won't wait for me!" After saying that, he turned to look at Xie Wu again, his dark eyes shining brightly, "Sister, how big is the Zhennan Prince's Palace? How about we Hou?
Which one is bigger?"
"It should be the largest palace in Zhennan!" Xie Wu said with a faint smile.
She really didn't expect that Prince Zhennan would actually send a message to A Xu in private. It was clear that the two of them had nothing in common.
This post came out of the blue, and she wondered if Lu Zhan had tampered with it. After all, this guy and the Prince of Zhennan looked like they were wearing the same pants!
She actually didn't want A Xu to attend the banquet because she really couldn't figure out what Lu Zhan was thinking about in this fight.
But when he thought that the people attending the banquet this time were all famous young men in the capital, this banquet could help A Xu quickly break into their circle. This was really a rare opportunity for A Xu. Moreover, A Xu
I am also looking forward to this banquet...
Now we can only take one step at a time. Fortunately, the situation is not clear enough yet. Even if Lu Zhan wants to help Prince Duan win over the Marquis of Wu'an, he can only do it secretly. After all, the Crown Prince and Prince Qi are now at war with each other.
.
"Really! Then I have to take a stroll. The prince of Zhennan said that there is a big lake in their house, and you can go boating on it!" Xie Xujing added with bright eyes.
Xie Wu smiled lightly and curled her lips, but did not answer Xie Xu's words.
"Okay, miss, sir, it's getting late. Let's go to Ronghua Courtyard to pay our respects to the old lady." This was the first time Wu Qing had seen such a harmonious situation in the Hou Mansion for so long, and she was extremely happy.
However, he did not forget to mention that it was time to match them.
"Yes, yes, Awu, brother Xu, let's go to Ronghuayuan together." Mrs. Chen also smiled and agreed. "Okay! Sister, let's go!" Xie Xu naturally reached out and took Xie Wu's hand.
road.
Xie Wu lowered her head and glanced at the hands of the two of them intertwined, and a slight smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
Xie Wu and the others went not too late, but in the end they were still lagging behind.
Looking at the people in the room, Xie Wu raised her eyebrows in surprise.
This post from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion was so destructive that it even exposed the Yang family who had been staying at home claiming to be ill.
"Sister-in-law, you are here." Mrs. Yang stood up and greeted Mrs. Chen with a smile.
She was smiling and smiling exactly the same as before, and there was no trace of reluctance on her face. It was as if nothing had happened. With such a state of mind and such a face, even Xie Wu had to admire her.
"Auntie." Xie Yuan and Xie Xian also stood up and saluted and said hello.
"Second aunt."
"Second aunt."
Although he was reluctant, Xie Xu followed Xie Wu and said hello to Yang.
After greeting each other, everyone began to take their seats one by one.
Yang looked at the red gold and ruby-embedded peony tassel hairpins on Xie Wu's head. The ruby on it was dazzling, without any impurities, and it was worth a lot at first glance. The tassels hanging by her ears were swaying slightly, and the tassels hanging on her ears were swaying slightly.
That half of her cheeks were as smooth as jade, so beautiful that it was shocking!
Sensing Yang's gaze, Xie Wu smiled lightly, the slender phoenix eyes shimmering with light, which made Yang's eyes hurt.
Yang glanced back without hesitation. When she passed by Xie Xu, she turned her eyes and suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Xu, why are you here too? Why don't you come here to see your sister off? However, I remember your sister a few days ago.
He also said that you have to work hard to study. You just turned around and forgot, or you are deliberately trying to be lazy!"
Xie Xu frowned and was about to retort when a plain white hand suddenly placed on his arm.
It's my sister.
Xie Wu smiled at Xie Xu, and then took her hand back calmly, "I didn't expect that Second Aunt would be so concerned about me and Brother Xu these days when she was ill. It's really hard work! I didn't see Brother Shi today. I want to come.
My brother listened to what I said that day."
Yang's face froze, but she quickly responded, "What a pity, your biological brother doesn't seem to take your words to heart."
"I don't have any more! I..."
"A Xu." Xie Wu stopped Xie Xu again. She curved her lips and smiled at Yang again, her eyes sparkling with brilliance, and her voice was as clear and clear as a cheerful flowing spring water. "Second aunt misunderstood. A Xu is a fellow student."
We went to Zhennan Prince’s Mansion for a banquet together.”
"He's also going to the banquet?" Yang didn't believe it.
The post sent by the Zhennan Palace stated that only female relatives were invited. Did Xie Wu not see the post or was she deliberately pretending to be stupid to stimulate her?
Xie Wu seemed not to notice the suspicion on Yang's face, and continued with a smile, "No! Prince Zhennan personally sent a message to A Xu, inviting him to the banquet." At this point, Xie Wu
There was a slight pause, then she looked at Mr. Yang pretending to be surprised and said, "Why doesn't Second Aunt know? Didn't Brother Shi receive the message? No wonder Brother Shi didn't come. I thought it at first.
He listened to my words and concentrated on his studies in the room."
"Impossible! Why would Prince Zhennan leave a message to Brother Xu?" Yang's eyebrows were raised with a look of disbelief.
Xie Wu curved her lips and smiled, looked sideways at Xie Xu and said with a smile, "Brother Xu, show the second aunt the post the prince gave you, so that the second aunt doesn't think we are juniors and are lying to her with nonsense."
"Yes, sister." Xie Xu responded with a smile, then took out a gilded post from his arms, walked to Yang in a few steps and handed the post to her, "Second Aunt, please take a look."
Yang took the post over suspiciously.
Xie Yuan also moved her face towards her.
But when they saw the words on the post clearly, both of them were confused.
It turned out that the Prince of Zhennan sent a message to Xie Xu alone, inviting him to visit the lake and compose poems!
As for what poems that idiot Xie Xu can do, Brother Shi's poems are not hundreds of times better than Xie Xu's. Is the Prince of Zhennan confused? Or maybe the Prince of Zhennan wrote the wrong name?
Yang thought this in her heart, and then she muttered in a low voice, "Isn't the prince making a mistake?"
Xie Wu sneered and said, "Perhaps Second Aunt can go to Zhennan Palace to ask the Crown Prince?"
Yang's face turned pale. The old lady didn't say she would take her to the banquet this time, although she wanted to go.
"What are you asking?" The old lady's voice suddenly rang outside the door.
Everyone stood up one after another.
Jiang Yingxue helped the old lady sit down. She greeted Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Yang respectively, and then obediently retreated to stand next to the old lady.
The old lady raised her eyes and scanned everyone in turn, but her eyes stayed on Xie Wu, Xie Yuan and Xie Xian for a longer time. After all, these three granddaughters were going to the Zhennan Palace with her for a banquet today.
Needless to say, Xie Wu is so charming that even if she only wears plain clothes, she is still outstanding among the crowd. What's more, she has been carefully dressed up today, and she is so bright that people dare not look at her.
Today, Xie Yuan is wearing a light pink cross-collared shoulder-length blouse, paired with a frost-colored long skirt, and a pair of red gold butterfly hairpins on her head. As she walks, the butterflies flutter slightly, which is quite interesting.
As for Xie Xian, she was wearing a light green cross-collar gown today, with a frost-colored jade skirt underneath, and she simply had a white jade hairpin inserted into her head, which was simple and elegant without losing her identity.
The old lady nodded with satisfaction, then she looked at Xie Wu again and said, "By the way, sister Wu, what did you just ask your second aunt to ask Prince Zhennan?"
"Replying to my grandmother, Prince Zhennan specially sent someone to send a post to Brother Xu. The second aunt didn't believe it and thought that Brother Xu and I were tricking her, so I joked that I would ask the second aunt to ask Zhennan.
Prince Wang." Xie Wu replied with a smile.
"You said Prince Zhennan sent a message to Brother Xu?" the old lady said in shock.
Xie Wu nodded.
"Quickly, show me the post." The old lady couldn't hide the excitement on her face when she got the affirmative answer.
Xie Wu glanced at Xie Xu.
Xie Xu understood, and immediately stepped forward and snatched the post from Yang's hand, then handed it to the old lady and pouted, "Grandma, please see if this post is from the Zhennan Palace. Second Aunt must say that I am a liar."
, saying that it is impossible for the Crown Prince to leave a message for me!"
"Your second aunt is talking nonsense, please ignore her." The old lady gave Yang an annoyed look and said.
The reason why Yang said this was probably because Brother Shi didn't receive the post from Prince Zhennan. She was a typical sour grape! She felt ashamed for her.
But then again, it is really surprising that Prince Zhennan would send a post to Brother Xu, maybe for the sake of the boss.
The old lady thought in her heart.
"Old madam, breakfast is ready." At this time, Aunt Zhu came over and said softly to the old madam.
"Okay! Let's eat first." The old lady smiled and handed the post back to Xie Shi's hand, then stood up and said to everyone with a smile.
Regardless of the reason why Prince Zhennan sent this post to Brother Xu, it is a rare opportunity for Brother Xu! If he can take the opportunity to make friends with Prince Zhennan and the others, it will be a great opportunity for Brother Xu.
