The eldest princess of Yongning decided to invite King Yan to a banquet, of course, she didn't decide to do so after listening to Xie Yinghui's crying.

In fact, she was originally the lobbyist that the emperor most hoped to persuade King Yan, but because she and the queen mother didn't want to interfere in the prince's struggle for the crown, she refused to shirk on the grounds that her daughter-in-law was about to give birth, and the emperor found someone else instead. The Xie family brothers and sisters are just a few inconspicuous little transparent among the "others".

But now Ma's second grandmother Feng Shi unexpectedly gave birth ahead of schedule, the mother and child are safe, and the next only need is confinement. The eldest princess of Yongning had no reason to shirk, so the will and objects of the queen mother's reward were sent out of the palace, and the emperor's envoy arrived later. It is impossible for the eldest princess of Yongning to shirk this matter again, no matter what, she has to go to meet another brother Yan Wang, convey the emperor's meaning euphemistically, and then inform the emperor of Yan Wang's wishes, so that their brothers can reach a consensus and decide the heir of Yan Wangfu.

This thing is not easy to do, if you are not careful, you may offend the future new king. But if she resolutely doesn't do it, the eldest princess of Yongning will directly offend the person who is sitting on the throne now. Although she was raised by the Queen Mother, she was not the emperor's half-sister, and she didn't dare to take it in her heart. As a royal princess who lost her mother since she was a child, Princess Yongning knows very well how she should deal with the relationship with the emperor's brother.

The eldest princess of Yongning decided to do what the emperor wanted, but how to do it could be reconsidered. She wanted to make the whole thing as light as possible, so that the banquet seemed less political. She can gossip with her other brother Yan Wang in a relatively relaxed environment, and then inadvertently, she can say what she needs to say.

In this way, even if King Yan has any grievances, complaints, or expectations for future heirs, he can say it without restraint. Even if his thoughts are diametrically opposed to the emperor's intentions, or if he has a grudge against the emperor, it will not lead to bad results. Because it is just a "small talk" words, not an informal statement, everything has room for maneuver.

Borrowing the location of "Guiyuan" is the idea that the eldest princess of Yongning had after meeting the Xie family brothers and sisters.

Xie Yinghui was very excited. In the past three years, the business has been good, but basically only the middle-level officials and their families will patronize it, or they are pure literati, and the scenery in the garden is beautiful, and the fees are not high, so they are willing to hold banquets here.

The elite circle in the capital doesn't look down on it very much, and some people think that its owner has been raided, and they are a little "unlucky"; Some people are worried about the face of the Cao family, and know that this is a place where the married daughter of the Cao family wants to occupy but fails; There are also people who have their own venues and can't look down on outsiders' territory.

In the past three years, among the guests who patronized Guiyuan, except for a prince from the Shilang Mansion who held a poetry meeting here, only Lu Feiyun's mother had twice in the garden. These two times are Lu Feiyun's birthday banquet and her mother's flower viewing party, both of which are due to Lu Feiyun, obviously she has the intention to help her best friend Xie Yinghui.

And now, the eldest princess of Yongning is about to feast King Yan and all the princes and princes of the clan in the Guiyuan, and the value of the garden will immediately go up! In the future, there will be more noble people who are willing to come to enjoy the scenery, right?

Xie Mulin quickly thought of the benefits of this matter, and also became excited with Xie Yinghui.

She asked Xie Yinghui: "What day is the banquet?" How many guests are there? What kind of feast is to be presented? How long will it last? Are we ready in time? ”

Xie Yinghui has much more experience in this area than her, and is very calm: "It's okay, there are many capable people in the Eldest Princess's Mansion!" Since Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is the east, we don't need to worry about these banquets or anything, Your Highness will order someone to prepare them properly. At that time, the people who will be waiting at the table, as well as the dishes, furniture, and furnishings, will not be called out of our house. We just need to clean the place and make the scenery in the garden beautiful and pleasant. ”

Xie Mulin learned from the eldest sister very humbly: "Then to what extent? This is the time of year...... I'm afraid that the osmanthus in the Guiyuan Garden has passed the best season, right? "And the most prestigious thing in Guiyuan is the osmanthus flower.

Xie Yinghui said unhurriedly: "It's okay. When the garden was first built, my mother invited the famous Shanzilei, who invited the best local gardener from Anhui to wait on the osmanthus flowers in the garden. When there was an accident at home, the gardener did not run, and later took the initiative to find it back, and he was still on an errand in the garden, but he was no longer just waiting for osmanthus. With him, the osmanthus flowers in the garden are blooming better and better, and the whole capital is famous. At present, there is still a large piece of osmanthus blooming just right, even if it is ten days later, it will not decay! In addition to osmanthus flowers, there are more than a dozen precious chrysanthemums in the garden, and there are five or six rare varieties, even if it is the garden of the eldest princess's mansion, it is nothing more than that. It is enough to entertain the distinguished guests of the clan! ”

Xie Mulin has hardly been to Guiyuan since he crossed, and he is naturally not as familiar with the situation in the garden as Xie Yinghui, a frequent visitor, and when he saw her say this, he also believed her: "Then let's go to the garden and take a look, so that people can tidy up as soon as possible, and then we can hand it over to the people from the Eldest Princess's Mansion to go to the banquet venue." ”

Xie Yinghui nodded: "When I came back, my brother and I had already gone to the garden to have a look, and it was generally good." Shopkeeper Mao and Cai Laotian are very attentive to the management of Guiyuan, and they send people to repair flowers and trees and clean the house every day on weekdays. This intention has saved us a lot of effort now! Next, we just need to clean up the corners and corners, prune the flowers and leaves, and that's it. If you don't feel at ease, I can ask the grandmother of the eldest princess's mansion to come over for a walk in advance to see what the shortcomings are, and change them as soon as possible, so that when the eldest princess comes, I won't be afraid of making a fool of myself. ”

Xie Xianzhi interjected at this time: "Although there are people from the eldest princess's mansion who are responsible for arranging the banquet, and we don't even have to worry about the furniture, we can't push everything to the eldest princess's people." Her Royal Highness the eldest princess said, our house is on the side, and His Royal Highness King Yan will definitely summon us at that time, so we can't really treat ourselves as the shopkeeper, right? ”

Xie Yinghui smiled when she heard this: "I have this intention, but I don't know what to do." It's not easy for the girl's family to come forward to deal with the people in the eldest princess's mansion. When the time comes, it will definitely not be only the grandmothers who will come to set up the banquet! Brother, I'm going to have to ask you to go out when the time comes. Are you going to negotiate with the people of the Eldest Princess's Mansion? ”

Xie Xianzhi hesitated for a moment, thinking that he was the eldest son, so he agreed: "It's okay." If there is a time when I can't cope with it, I will call the second brother and you again. ”

Xie Yinghui stopped talking, and quickly glanced at Xie Mulin. Xie Mulin was inexplicable: "What's wrong with the eldest sister?" Xie Yinghui laughed dryly and shook her head: "It's nothing." So do it! ”
