The East Palace is invited, but it's not good to be lazy.

Lu Qingrong was puzzled in his heart, and he always wondered which one Lu Manyu was singing, and he had no intention of eating.

At Jiang Xuan's insistence, Lu Qingrong reluctantly drank half a bowl of fragrant rice porridge, and immediately changed his clothes and makeup, preparing to enter the palace.

The journey was unimpeded, and when Lu Qingrong walked into the East Palace, it was just the beginning of the day.

Lu Manyu did not stay in her own courtyard, but waited for her in the side hall.

Stopping in front of the hall, Lu Qingrong couldn't help frowning.

She had followed Tang Yue to the East Palace several times before, and this side hall was the place where the former crown princess saw guests.

The crown princess was placed under house arrest, and Lu Manyu acted like this, which really made people sweat for her.

Lu Qingrong shook his head secretly in his heart, and was about to enter the hall, but he collided with the emperor's eldest grandson who was about to come out.

After not seeing him for many days, the emperor's eldest grandson has grown a lot taller, as if he is almost the same as himself.

The eldest grandson of the emperor was dressed in a vermilion brocade robe, with a gold silk inlaid jade leather belt tied around his waist, and a red gold moire hair crown on his head.

Lu Qingrong only took a look, and he felt that compared with the straightforward and agile in the past, there was a little more caution in the eyes of the emperor's eldest grandson.

After the two saluted each other, the eldest grandson of the emperor took the lead in speaking: "Concubine Lu has been waiting in the palace for a long time, Mrs. Shizi, please." ”

Lu Qingrong nodded politely and waited for the emperor's eldest grandson to leave first.

The emperor's eldest grandson even explained: "The hour of the lunch break has passed, I want to go to study and take the first step." After saying that, he turned and left.

In Lu Qingrong's memory. The eldest grandson of the emperor is so gentle and polite, but he always feels that something is wrong.

Looking at his back as he was surrounded by everyone and left, Lu Qingrong secretly wondered. At a young age, when he learned that his mother was under house arrest, he couldn't show any anxiety, and it was the same as before, which was really out of his reach.

Thinking that he had just come out of the side hall, Lu Qingrong couldn't help but secretly say, it seemed that what Jiang Xuan said was true. It is really possible for the emperor to let Lu Manyu take care of the emperor's eldest grandson.

didn't have time to think about anything, Lu Qingrong walked into the side hall.

I saw Lu Manyu, who was sitting at the top, wearing a peach-colored dress. Unusually, her hair is combed into a Lingyun bun, and most of her hair is made of emerald silver jewelry, and only a pair of red gold solid bracelets exposed on her hands are considered her favorite style for many years. But it doesn't match the whole body's outfit.

I saw Lu Qingrong enter the door. Lu Manyu immediately got up to greet him.

"I sent someone to invite you at noon, I didn't expect you to come so early!" Lu Manyu said with a smile on her face, "The time is just in time, when you first entered the door, you met the emperor's eldest grandson, right?" ”

The latter sentence is obviously proud.

Lu Qingrong knew her third sister very well, and only smiled and said, "Yes, it's a rare time for the third sister and the emperor's eldest grandson to get along well." ”

Lu Manyu heard this. I can't hide my proud look.

"The emperor's eldest grandson is kind-hearted, and this is not a difficult thing." Lu Manyu's tone was not at all modest.

Lu Qingrong asked, "I don't know that the third sister came to me." So what's going on? ”

"What's the matter! It's just that I haven't seen you for many days, and I miss it very much, so I invite you to come over, and we sisters are just talking and chatting. ”

After Lu Manyu finished speaking, he pulled Lu Qingrong to sit on the golden silk nanmu circle chair in the side hall, and was busy ordering people to serve tea.

Lu Qingrong didn't believe that she just wanted to talk to someone.

Although they are sisters, even when everyone lived in Lu Mansion before they got married, they never had any gossip. Every time Lu Manyu talked to her, it was more or less for some purpose.

What's more, Lu Qingrong also noticed that there were many palace maids on duty in the side hall at this time, and there were four standing next to Lu Manyu alone.

At this moment, Lu Qingrong even hoped that Lu Manyu's purpose today was just to put on a show for himself.

Seeing that Lu Qingrong was silent, Lu Manyu couldn't help but cut to the point: "In a few days, there will be a Duanyang banquet in the palace, do you know?" ”

"I did. It's just that since I married into the Hou Mansion, I have never participated in the Duanyang banquet in the palace, and I don't know too many details. Lu Qingrong replied.

The year before last, Jiang Xuan was "ill", and the banquets in the palace were also absent from time to time, but last year was just in time for the death of the crown prince, and there was no Duanyang banquet in the palace at all.

"Actually, I haven't participated in it either." Lu Manyu said with a smile: "That's why I look forward to taking this opportunity to have a good time!" ”

Lu Qingrong was pondering what she meant by "lively".

Lu Manyu continued: "Since I entered the palace, I have been very depressed, and I think of the days when I was in the women's school, and I miss it even more. This Duanyang banquet, Tang Yue, Cui Shiyun, and the county lord of Kangning, these former classmates, should all come! It's a pity that Tang Shan and He Qingwan's identities are different, so they must not have this opportunity......"

Lu Qingrong didn't think that anyone in this was familiar with Lu Manyu, especially when she actually called Tang Yue's name, which made people feel even more inappropriate.

Lu Qingrong felt that she should still be reminded: "Princess Jing often enters the palace to ask for peace, and she will also come to the East Palace to find the crown princess, which should be quite common." ”

Lu Manyu didn't care, and said casually: "It's a slip of the tongue." Then he immediately changed the topic, "Actually, what I am most worried about is the county lord of Kangning." I heard earlier that her child had died, and I didn't bother to comfort her personally, and I didn't see her for many months...... This Duanyang banquet, you must take her into the palace together! ”

Lu Qingrong listened to it, and vaguely felt that this seemed to be the real purpose of Lu Manyu's invitation to come.

Qiu Jinting is the county lord, and he needs to bring it with him when he enters the palace for the banquet!

It's just that she has been extremely low-key recently, and no matter how you look at it, she hasn't completely come out of the pain of losing her child. It's hard to say whether she would like to go to the banquet or not.

"The fourth sister has to promise me that she must bring the county lord into the palace to relax!" Lu Manyu is very persistent.

"The third sister's kind invitation, I will tell the county lord when I go back." Lu Qingrong said vaguely.

Lu Manyu thought she agreed, and her face was full of joy.

After that, the two were speechless.

After sitting for less than a quarter of an hour, Lu Qingrong left the East Palace.

But until she returned to the Hou Mansion, she still couldn't understand why Lu Manyu had to let Qiu Jinting enter the palace for a banquet.

I wanted to tell Jiang Xuan about this, but it happened that Jiang Xuan was summoned into the palace by the emperor again.

In fact, she kept an eye on the East Palace, and when she left the palace, she casually talked to the attendant who led the way, and learned that Mrs. Wu had also visited the East Palace in the morning, and she went to the same side hall......

"Let's inquire, what did Mrs. Wu do after she returned home?" Lu Qingrong returned to the Yuyuan Courtyard and immediately ordered Luzhu.

Lu Zhu quickly came over to report: "As soon as Mrs. Wu returned to Qinyi Courtyard, she immediately called the second master over, and until now, the second master has not come out. (To be continued......)
