In the palace, King Lu and Princess Runing were having dinner with Concubine Guo Ning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info During the banquet, he naturally mentioned Lu Ruxue's rescue of Xu Zhuying today.

Concubine Guo Ning felt that the young lady of the Lu Mansion was scheming, and she was somewhat unimpressed. King Lu has a very good impression of the young lady of Lu Mansion.

And Princess Runing has been silent, she is still sad and angry about Song Yushu's failure today.

Seeing his mother and brother, and mentioning the ladies of the Wei Mansion and the Lu Mansion, I couldn't help but think about it.

"Mother, my daughter wants to hold a chrysanthemum banquet outside the palace, and invite the women in the Wei Mansion and the Lu Mansion, as well as the boudoir in Beijing, to have a banquet together!"

"Hasn't the mother concubine been choosing a side concubine for her brother? The daughter can take this opportunity to see the temperament of these ladies!"

"Don't recruit any people with evil intentions, and then mess up the rules of the inner courtyard of the palace, causing my brother and sister-in-law to be upset!"

Princess Runing is planning to hold a chrysanthemum banquet on the outskirts of Beijing on Zhuangzi. There was her begging brother and giving it to Song Yushu in private. She didn't believe she couldn't see anyone this time.

What is her daughter's thoughts, how can Concubine Guo Ning not know. glared at his daughter, but her daughter's idea was not bad.

glanced at his son, since his son was interested in the young lady of Lufu, let his daughter give it a try, so that his son could see the true face of this woman, and he could break his son's mind without hurting the mother and son.

In the eyes of Concubine Guo Ning, Miss Lufu's background is really bad, after all, her father has no official position and is just a white dress.

Even if the uncle in the mansion is a high-ranking official, this young lady from the Lu Mansion is indeed not from the long house. Therefore, Concubine Guo Ning still feels that the young lady of the Lu Mansion is not worthy of her son.

Seeing the mother nodding, Princess Runing was a little excited and couldn't sit still. Early the next morning, invitations were distributed to all prefectures in Beijing.

Lu Ruxue entered the "Kangning Garden" early in the morning, and soon after having breakfast with her grandmother, she received an invitation from the palace.

"Grandmother knows that you have a quiet temperament, but this 'chrysanthemum banquet' is organized by Princess Runing, I'm afraid that you can't hide if you want to!"

"Fortunately, this time there is also a young lady from the Wei State Mansion, you saved her, and she will definitely protect you!"

The granddaughter is the treasure in the palm of the Lu Mansion, but the third son has no official position, and the granddaughter's background naturally cannot be compared with the ladies of other mansions.

And this time, only the young ladies who have not left the cabinet in each province are invited, and the eldest lady and the third lady cannot go together. Mrs. Tai was a little worried, afraid that her granddaughter would suffer during the banquet.

"Less to say and less to be wrong, not to say good. It's not the first time that a granddaughter has gone out to have a banquet, and grandmother doesn't need to worry about her granddaughter!"

The grandfather and grandson were gossiping in the inner courtyard when they saw Lan Ruo walking in from outside. first gave Mrs. Tai a salute, and then passed the old lady's words into the inner courtyard.

"What, King Lu actually set up a chrysanthemum banquet, wouldn't it be too coincidental?"

Jiang is still old and spicy, just two small invitations, and Mrs. Tai can get a glimpse of the clues and inappropriateness.

The granddaughter also took Cai Lian and Cai Ling with her, and let Lu Feng catch the car. With my cousin and brother protecting me, nothing will happen!"

"If the grandmother is worried about her granddaughter, anxiety hurts her body, even if the granddaughter is away, her heart will inevitably be worried!"

Seeing her granddaughter's calm face, Mrs. Tai's heart also relaxed a little.

"Okay, grandmother don't worry! However, since it is the 'chrysanthemum banquet' hosted by the Duke of Runing, and the ladies of the noble mansions in Beijing are invited, you can't dress so simply as usual!"

"Lan Ruo, go and tell the needlework room, make a set of skirts for the eldest lady, and go and get the garnet red makeup brocade in the library!"

"Grandmother is going to dress up her granddaughter into a big red envelope, so as to add a bit of festivity to Princess Runing's banquet!"

Listening to her granddaughter's playfulness, Mrs. Tai couldn't help but nod her granddaughter's head and laughed out loud.

But in the end, according to Mrs. Tai's wishes, she made a set of garnet-red skirts for Lu Ruxue.

However, Lu Ruxue felt that this color was too delicate. In private, he ordered Cai Yue and Cai Xing, and made a moon-white gauze skirt for her, covering it outside the red dress. Only then did he dare to wear a pleated red skirt out of the door.

At the same time, on the table in the study of King Yan's Mansion, there was also an invitation card. Mu Xuanyang put one hand on the table and pinched his brows with the other.

When he received King Lu's invitation just now, he had already sent someone to Lu Mansion to inquire. It seems that his concern at the beginning was not suspicious.

Princess Runing's chrysanthemum banquet was held in the same place as King Lu. If he didn't have any ideas in it, he couldn't convince himself. For a while, there was a wave of anger and uneasiness in my heart.

Recalling yesterday, Miss Lu's act of saving people still attracted the attention of Prince Lu. Mu Xuanyang felt that the reason for it was because he was in a hurry, so he was not thoughtful, and he recruited trouble for the Lu Mansion to attract wolves into the room.

King Koru was his uncle. The request of the elders cannot be refused. And as Miss Lu, it is impossible to refuse the princess's banquet.

But Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was intended for Pei Gong, and this "chrysanthemum appreciation" became a Hongmen banquet. Mu Xuanyang couldn't help it, hinted at himself, and made an excuse for the sorrow in his heart.

thinks that since everything is because of himself, it should be up to him to protect the people of the Lu Mansion, especially the eldest lady of the Lu Mansion.

When I think about it, I feel relieved. felt that he and Lu Chongyu walked together, and even stayed by Lu Ruxue's side, which was also a matter of course.

No matter how shrewd a person is, in front of the person he likes, he is no different from a fool. At this time, Mu Xuanyang was a complete fool.

obviously has already decided in his heart, but he is reluctant to admit it. And constantly looking for all kinds of excuses for himself.

As the saying goes, love is difficult to cross, the road is only strong, and everything is destined by fate. Mu Xuanyang couldn't recognize himself, his own mind, he had to suffer a little more.

Early in the morning of the eighteenth, the carriage of the Duke of Wei was waiting outside the gate of the Lu Mansion early.

In addition to Xu Zhuying and Young Master Xu Qi, even Mu Xuanyang also came to the Lu Mansion with them.

Xu Zhuying likes to be lively by nature, so as soon as the wound heals, he is reluctant to stay in the courtyard of the house.

It is rare for Princess Runing to be invited, and there is also the eldest lady of the Lu Mansion to accompany her. So early in the morning, I drove a carriage to pick up Lu Ruxue and go to the banquet.

Xu Zhuying thought that Lu Ruxue was not good at equestrianism, so she abandoned the mount and took the carriage instead. If it was according to her temperament, even if the princess invited her, she would insist on riding a horse to the banquet.

Because Mu Xuanyang also came with him, it was not easy for Lu Ruxue to invite Xu Zhuying to sit in the house for a long time.

Just accompanied Xu Zhuying to Mrs. Tai's "Kangning Garden", met the elders in the house, and asked Hou.

Mrs. Tai said a few words, and asked Xu Zhuying to take care of her granddaughter more, and then ordered the eldest girl next to her to send the two of them to leave the house in a carriage to go to the banquet.
