Xie Yingrong hadn't thought of a countermeasure yet, and the preparations for the banquet of Xie Mulin's brothers and sisters had come to an end.

At the same time, His Royal Highness King Yan's fleet finally arrived at the dock on the outskirts of the capital.

His Royal Highness King Yan's trip was immense, although the team of King Yan's Mansion only took seven or eight boats, but behind it was followed by more than a dozen official ships, civilian ships, merchant ships, etc., all of which were escorted by King Yan's Mansion. When they arrived at the wharf in the capital, except for the ship of the Yanwang Mansion that docked at a special place, and the Yanwang and his party returned to their own territory to rest under the embrace of the Yanwang Mansion in the capital, the rest of the people naturally went to their own homes and looked for their own mothers. The area around the wharf was crowded and lively for a while, and the merchants also took the opportunity to do a wave of business, and even the branch of the Xie family business not far from the wharf made a small profit, which made the shopkeeper Mao and others overjoyed. However, Shopkeeper Mao didn't care about business, and while ordering his men to hurry up to receive guests, he also had to rush to the Xie family's mansion in Pearl Bridge to inform the young masters and girls of the main family of the news of King Yan's arrival.

After King Yan returned to the palace of King Yan in the capital, he rested for a while, and was about to enter the palace to meet the emperor and the queen mother. This is just a ceremonial visit, and it is not yet time to discuss some serious matters with the two nobles in the palace. The emperor had already revealed his intentions, hoping that King Yan would go to the banquet of the eldest princess of Yongning first, obviously wanting this younger brother to find out the holy will from the eldest princess of Yongning before entering the palace to formally discuss the matter of the heir with him, so that the two brothers would talk much more smoothly, and the emperor himself would not need to convince his younger brother.

King Yan had no objection to the emperor's arrangement at all, and accepted it obediently. The eldest princess of Yongning immediately got the letter and immediately sent someone to Guiyuan to inspect it. When several of her henchmen confirmed that everything was ready in Guiyuan, and even the ingredients and cooks were in place, the Xie family brothers and sisters, along with the original subordinates in the garden, were sent back to the Xie family's mansion. All the affairs at the banquet were handed over to the subordinates in the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongning, and perhaps the queen mother would order the internal affairs government to send someone to help, but she would never let the servants of the Xie family interfere in it.

Xie Mulin and the others didn't have much to say, they just concentrated on cleaning up the few empty houses on the side of the nearest passage from the Xie family's mansion to Guiyuan, and carefully arranged them as a rest room for their brothers and sisters to wait for the summons. No one can say when His Royal Highness King Yan will summon them during the banquet, in order not to delay time, they have to put on new makeup early in the morning and come to this lounge to wait, and everything to eat, drink and Lazar will be solved here. As soon as King Yan gave the order, they would be able to leave for the park immediately.

Xie Mulin was careful, and also prepared for the brothers and sisters in these empty rooms Luohan beds, couches and other resting furniture, dressing boxes, dressing mirrors, food and drink, sewing kits, spare full sets of clothes, even cloaks and stoves to keep out the cold, as well as toilets, basins, cloth towels, and emergency medicines. She didn't believe it, such preparation was still insufficient?

Xie Yinghui felt that her preparation was thorough enough, although it was a bit exaggerated, but once something happened, she could cope with it: "Why didn't I think of these before? In the future, what kind of banquet our family will hold and entertain guests to drink and feast at home, we must also be so well prepared. Although it is a little troublesome, it is better to be prepared than to be at a loss when things are coming. ”

Several brothers had no objection to this at all. Xie Jinzhi excused himself to be nervous, and repeated the etiquette and taboos when he met King Yan and the eldest princess of Yongning several times in front of the two brothers. Xie Xianzhi didn't think much about it, and in turn comforted him a few words. Xie Huizhi was directly annoyed and a little intimidated: "Or...... I'm not going? I was just born to my aunt, and I was just a child, and I couldn't get my identity. Anyway, the fourth brother didn't go, so I simply had to be with him. I'll go outside to inquire about the news of Yanwang's Mansion, and I may be able to get some useful news for you!" With that, he ran away as fast as he could. Xie Xianzhi and Xie Jinzhi couldn't stop them, so they could only look at each other.

It was probably because the brothers and sisters were arranging a rest place in the back house, and the movement was a little louder, and the old lady Xie in Jin Xuan Hall finally knew that the Guiyuan banquet was about to start. She hurriedly gathered several older grandchildren together and questioned them: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?!" Since there are nobles who are coming to our garden, there is no reason why we should not go to see them! ”

Xie Yinghui said lightly: "This time, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Yongning chartered our family's garden to entertain Her Royal Highness King Yan, and the guests invited are all royal relatives of the clan, and the branches that are a little farther away are not that decent, let alone the family members of your subordinates?" ”

Old Mrs. Xie's face was a little unsightly: "But this is our garden!" We can't go in yet?! ”

Seeing that Xie Yinghui raised his eyebrows, Xie Mulin might be about to say something even more unkind, so he hurriedly smiled and preemptively said: "Because my father is in the territory of His Royal Highness King Yan, he is still highly used, and the eldest princess of Yongning has always treated her eldest sister very well, and our brothers and sisters also plan to prepare for it just in case, and once His Royal Highness summons him, he will go to meet him." But this kind of thing is not accurate, what if His Royal Highness King Yan has no opinion on us? What if Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has something to do and can't take care of us? The old lady is not young, and if you wait in the cold room over there for a day, I am afraid that you will be tired. ”

Xie Yinghui glanced at Xie Mulin and closed her mouth. As long as Mrs. Xie didn't ruin her plan, she didn't have to go back.

Old Mrs. Xie really wanted to see King Yan, but she had a psychological shadow on the eldest princess of Yongning, and when she heard Xie Mulin say this, she was a little cowardly, and went down the slope and said, "Also, it's still a little cold at this time." I won't toss this old bone. When we go to Beiping, when the spring flowers bloom next year, are you still afraid that Yanwangfu will not invite us to come over as guests? ”

Thinking that she didn't have to see the eldest princess of Yongning in Beiping, but she could also meet a noble person like Princess Yan, Mrs. Xie dispelled the idea of participating in the banquet, and only sternly instructed a few children: "In front of the nobles, you must abide by etiquette and do enough rules!" Once anyone is rude in front of the nobles and loses the face of our Xie family, see if I don't break his legs! After speaking, he glared at Xie Hui fiercely.

Xie Huizhi didn't have anything unusual, anyway, he wouldn't go to Guiyuan to meet people, and His Royal Highness King Yan wouldn't think about him as a little concubine. Mrs. Xie's words mean nothing to him, and he didn't name him, why is he angry?

While talking, Xiao Tao slipped in from outside the door, whispered a few words in Mrs. Jiang's ear, and stuffed a cloth bag to her. Mrs. Jiang showed an impatient expression, and Mrs. Xie had already seen it: "Ah Jiang, what happened?" ”

Mrs. Jiang had no choice but to step forward and present the cloth bag: "Back to the old lady, Aunt Jin came to deliver needlework, saying that the third girl specially made it for the old lady, so as to fulfill her filial piety." As he spoke, he opened the cloth bag, revealing a delicately embroidered forehead.

Old Mrs. Xie glanced at it a few times, and then sneered: "Who are you coaxing?" Where is this the handiwork of the three girls? It was clearly made by her aunt! If you want to coax me to dissipate my anger, Jin Jin has worked hard. It's a pity that the three girls are not angry, and they haven't learned to be good for so many years! Why didn't she see such nonsense in her hometown in Huyin? As soon as she met the Bian family in the capital, she was going to make a mistake! In the future, let's settle down and run less to Bian's house. When you get to Beiping, I will hand over a few of you to your father and mother to discipline, and what you want to do has nothing to do with me! ”

At this time, Cai Laotian's family suddenly rushed over from the front yard to report: "Old lady, eldest young master, second young master, eldest miss, second young lady, third young master!" A guest from Peking came outside, saying that he had sent a letter for the master! ”
