According to customary etiquette, men and women who have decided to marry should not meet before they get married.

However, rules are dead, and people are alive. There is always a "flexibility" or two.

Gillian hasn't seen Zhou Liang for many days, and she misses it a lot. In front of Ah Yi, there was nothing to be embarrassed to admit, and he smiled when he heard this: "Okay." The two of us set up a banquet and wrote invitations. ”

Each invited guests, waited for people to enter the palace, and accidentally "encountered" when appreciating the lotus, and it was logical to get together.

Ah Yi immediately responded with his fists.

The "careful thinking" of the two sisters and brothers, of course, can't hide it from Gu Guanning.

The two of them pretended to beg one after the other. Gu Wanning knew what was going on when he heard it, but he didn't say anything, nodded and agreed.

After Xiao Xu learned about this, he immediately said: "Gillian just set up a banquet." As a prince, Ah Yi has to learn to listen to politics every day, so how can he have time. ”

Gu Guanning: "......"

Someone's little eye has flare-ups again!

Gu Wanning glanced at Xiao Xu with a smile: "The will to give marriage has been made." Do you plan to deny your future son-in-law? They don't have the opportunity to see each other on weekdays, so why not occasionally take advantage of the banquet to meet each other?"

Xiao Xu reluctantly gave in: "I just said it casually. ”

Gu Wanning smiled and sighed lightly: "Look at you like this, I am looking forward to having another son." If you have a daughter, won't you have to go through the pain of marrying again?"

Isn't it?

The pain of marrying a daughter can only be understood by a father who loves his daughter in the world!

Xiao Xu also sighed, sat beside Gu Wanning, and gently stroked her slightly bulging lower abdomen with her right hand. After a while, he said: "I just hope that Xiao Wu will be honest and settle down now, and don't always toss you like this." ”

Gu Wanning smiled slightly and snuggled his head into his chest.

……

Gillian set up a banquet, and invited nothing more than a few sisters Hui. After thinking about it, another Zhou Wei was added.

Zhou Wei is Zhou Liang's only sister and her future sister-in-law. Since she decided to marry, she has never seen Zhou Wei. Just take advantage of this banquet to see you.

On this day, Zhou Liang came back from the Hanlin Academy, and what he saw was his sister Zhou Weihong's pretty face: "Big brother, Her Royal Highness the princess ordered someone to send an invitation, saying that she wanted to invite me into the palace to enjoy the lotus!"

Zhou Wei is just a twelve-year-old girl who has never met in the capital, and she is quite lonely on weekdays. Suddenly accepted the invitation in the palace, and had the opportunity to enter the palace, and I was overjoyed.

Zhou Liang looked at his sister's happy appearance, and his heart felt as if he had been ironed, proper and hot.

Gillian specially sent an invitation to Zhou Wei, acting like this, obviously loving the house and Wu.

"Big brother, there are three days to enter the palace. I want to make a new dress!" Zhou Weisheng's beauty and cuteness are rare and coquettish, and they are even more pleasing.

Zhou Liang smiled and responded: "It's okay to make two more new clothes." ”

It's a pity that he can't enter the palace together......

Just as he regretted it, the steward guarding the door hurriedly ran in to report: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to deliver an invitation." ”

Zhou Liang's heart moved, and he immediately said, "Hurry up, please come in." ”

The attendant who delivered the letter respectfully presented the invitation.

It is the same day as Zhou Wei's invitation, and it is the same "lotus appreciation".

Zhou Liang's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth were raised.

Zhou Wei didn't react at first, but when she saw the young man's angry brother so happy, she noticed something unusual. put the two invitations together and compared them, and then laughed in a low voice: "Big brother, you can enter the palace to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Zhou Liang snorted, his eyes full of happy smiles.

……

Two days later.

The carriage in the palace arrived at the door of Zhou's house and took Zhou Wei into the palace.

As for Zhou Liang, he went to the banquet of His Royal Highness the Prince, and it was not appropriate to enter the palace with Zhou Wei. The carriage left for half an hour before riding into the palace.

Ah Yi and Gillian each set up a banquet in the dormitory. The young men and women who received the invitation were divided into two groups, half went to Gillian's dormitory, and half went to Gillian's dormitory.

Zhou Liang entered the palace this time, but he was not given a cold reception. Ah Yi was much more polite to his future brother-in-law and greeted him thoughtfully.

Brother Qian also put away all the gloom and loss, and talked to Zhou Liang as usual.

Zhou Liang has a serious official body, and his bearing is calm and calm, which is better than before. I was thinking about my sister who entered the palace for the first time, but I didn't show it on my face.

At this time, Zhou Wei was indeed timid and restrained.

The first time I entered the palace, everything was so unfamiliar. Fortunately, the future eldest sister-in-law with a distinguished status is more cordial than she imagined.

The bright and hearty Gillian has obviously been dressed up today, and she looks more and more delicate and moving. Radiant, with a smile on his lips: "You are Sister Zhou!"

Zhou Weiqiao's face was slightly red, and she responded: "Yes." ”

Well-behaved and cute.

Gillian is used to being the eldest sister, and when she sees such a gentle and cowardly little girl, she feels a little more pity. said with a smile: "I have heard your brother mention you a long time ago, and today is the first time we have met." You don't have to be nervous, just treat me like a sister. ”

The princess of the heavenly family is so hearty and bright, and there is no shelf at all.

The little cowardice in Zhou Wei's heart retreated unconsciously, pursed her lips, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I listen to Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

That's good!

Gillian secretly praised in her heart, took the initiative to hold Zhou Wei's little hand, and introduced Sister Yue and others to her one by one. All the girls know that this is Gillian's future sister-in-law, and she is very friendly.

After a moment of greeting, Gillian smiled and said, "I have ordered someone to prepare refreshments in the pavilion in the lake." We drank tea and enjoyed the lotus. ”

I also know that I will meet Ah Yi and his party at the pavilion.

Sister Hui and Sister Yu glanced at each other, and then each pursed their lips and smiled.

……

Sun Rou, who has always been lively and playful, is unusually silent today.

Sister Yue asked softly, "Sister Rou, are you worried about anything, why haven't you spoken?"

The girls looked at it together.

Sun Rou smiled disguisedly: "It's nothing. Then he said, "Shall we take a boat to the pavilion in the middle of the lake today?"

Sister Yue didn't ask any more, and smiled at Sun Rou's voice: "Summer boat ride, don't have fun." Later, you can also fold some lotus flowers. ”

Sun Rouqiang cheered up and smiled: "Then I will break a big lotus pod, take the lotus seeds and cook the soup to drink." ”

All the girls were sharp-minded people, and they all saw Sun Rou's strangeness at this time. It's just that Sun Rou didn't want to say, and it was inconvenient to ask at this time.

Gillian suppressed this layer of thought and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go on a boat together." ”

There is a lotus pond in the northwest of the imperial garden, with a radius of dozens of acres, full of lotus leaves, full of emerald green. The breeze is light, and the lotus flowers are gently swaying, which is beautiful.

After getting on the boat and sitting down, Sun Rou's gloomy mood eased slightly.

When I arrived at the center of the lake and arrived in the pavilion, I really "encountered" Ah Yi and his party.

Sun Rou saw Brother Lang standing in the corner at a glance.
