The first rays of sunlight in the early morning crossed the palace wall and fell on the corridor, and a small palace maid hurriedly walked through the corridor with a copper basin, stepped into the side door, and disappeared into a piece of greenery.

At this moment, Li Zongquan, the grand duke beside the emperor, was listening to the movement in the house, and heard a slight cough from inside the house, so he lowered his voice and sternly ordered the palace people around him: "The emperor is going to wake up, you all cheer up and serve!" If anything goes wrong, watch your skin! ”

In less than a moment, the night vigil eunuch came out of the side door, saw that Li Zongquan was also there, and hurriedly smiled: "Grand Duke, the saint is awake." ”

Li Zongquan shook off the dust: "Let's all go in." The palace people lowered their heads and rushed in through the side door, and more than a dozen people didn't make a sound at all.

"Last night was Concubine Ning's bedtime?" Li Zongquan raised his eyelids and asked. The eunuch of the night vigil replied with an ambiguous face: "Back to the Grand Duke, Concubine Ning has been quite a sacred heart recently, she originally invited Concubine Zhen Niangniang last night, but this Concubine Ning Niangniang came to deliver soup, so she ......"

"Hmm." Li Zongquan nodded and advised, "You just have to serve the saint well." ”

Recently, the atmosphere in the palace has been extremely tense, and Concubine Ning and Concubine Zhen have taken turns to attack the emperor's high ground for their daughter's marriage, trying to snatch Dou Yingshuo, the champion of the Dou Kingdom, for their daughters.

Originally, after Dou Yingshuo won the champion, Concubine Ning mentioned it to the emperor and planned to make him the fifth princess. At that time, the four princesses decided to marry, and there was no conflict between the two families. But later, the marriage turned yellow, and the emperor planned to let the fourth princess of Han Xishang, the fourth princess of Hanmen Tanhualang, how could Concubine Zhen be willing? One is the eldest son of the prince of the country, a young talent, and the other is from a poor family and is old, Concubine Zhen naturally moved the idea of digging the corner of the wall next door, but Concubine Ning was half angry.

Seeing that the fat is in your mouth, how can you give it up? Concubine Ning used eighteen kinds of martial arts, playing the piano, encountering by chance, and sending soup and water, which temporarily gained the upper hand.

Concubine Ning, who succeeded in serving the bed, was in a happy mood, and looked at her fifth princess and was quite proud: "Don't be afraid, Yue'er, with the mother concubine here, no one can snatch away our champion!" ”

"Who is rare about him!" The fifth princess was anxious, and stood up suddenly: "Mother, how many times have I told you, I don't want to marry Dou Yingshuo, why do you have to marry him?" "If she marries Dou Yingshuo, what should the little lover Zhao Zhuhai do?

"You kid! Can't you see the situation clearly? Your father chose Dou Yingshuo and Han Xi, and your marriage with the fourth princess is about to be engaged, at this time, if you don't fight, let Concubine Zhen snatch it away, is it possible that you want to marry that Han Xi? Concubine Ning hated that iron could not become steel: "I don't know who I'm planning for!" ”

"The mother concubine is for me, but I don't want to marry either of them!" The fifth princess had a temper and simply began to mess around: "I don't care, I won't marry anyone anyway!" ”

"Huh? I said, why don't you kid talk about it! Concubine Ning patted her chest and said bitterly: "If the mother concubine doesn't fight for it, you can only take the leftovers of others!" ”

"I'm not going to marry anyway!" The fifth princess dropped this sentence, covered her face and ran away crying.

Concubine Ning looked at her daughter's distant back, and could only slap the table and scolded: "This kid! I'm! ”

It is said that after Jinshu left Shen Guogong's Mansion and moved to the Princess's Mansion, she only hid for three or two days, and Chun Juan began to persuade her: "Princess, let's open the mansion and move to a new house, and the guests should be invited to congratulate the housewarming." ”

"What is there to congratulate?" Jinshu wondered: "If I move my own house, do I want to publicize it?" But in this way, doesn't everyone know that I am at odds with the Pony and the Shen family? ”

"Princess, that's not what the slave meant." Chun Juan gently persuaded: "The princess has grown up, and now she is also married and has opened a house, she should learn to invite the noble lady of the capital and have her own friends to socialize." In the past, it was understandable that the princess was young and did not love human relations. But now that the princesses have grown up, it would be a loss of etiquette to keep the door closed like this. ”

Xia Aya also opened her mouth to help Chunjuan speak: "Yes, princess, the slave maid heard that the eldest princess and her got married, although they did not move to the princess's mansion, but they all invited the ladies and ladies of the capital to go to the warm house. ”

Chun Juan and Xia Aya are the two big palace maids carefully selected by Concubine Jing, Chun Juan is steady and gentle and down-to-earth and knowledgeable, Xia Aya is neat and hearty, righteous and spicy, one inside and one outside, so that Jinshu can save a lot of worry.

Listening to what they said, Jin Shu secretly thought to himself, it is indeed necessary to hold a banquet. From the moment she came to the present, she has always insisted on keeping in mind the law of bad luck and the two everythings, always closing the door and not causing trouble, and treating other people politely and politely and alienated, even if it is the Shen family, they are just taking money and not paying attention. So now, except for the seventh princess who took the initiative to stick over, there really have no other friends.

Jin Shu held his chin and began to think seriously about life. If you want to live here for the rest of your life, how can you do without friends? Feudal society is different from communism, everyone is equal, social stability, and is full of countless uncertain dangers. Women are all appendages of men, and if there is an accident one day, her title of princess will be gone. Thinking of this, Jinshu shuddered: "No! We really have to take action. ”

Chun Juan and Xia Aya glanced at each other.

Jinshu took Chun Juan and Xia Aya's hands, and looked grateful: "Thank you for the reminder, you should have a banquet." Chun Juan, you are responsible for planning the banquet, Xia Aya, you draw up a list of people to invite to the banquet and show me. "She's going to have to do some research, and focus on developing people who can be friends!

The two of them nodded in response, with a smile in their eyes, which can be regarded as persuasion.

After a few more discussions, the approximate scale was preliminarily determined. After the two palace maids went out, Xia Aya breathed a sigh of relief: "Concubine Jing is really like a god, although the princess is a master who does not love human accidents, but she is indeed sympathetic to Dali." ”

"When we left the palace, Concubine Jing specially explained that what the princess wanted to do, as long as it was reasonable, we would help. But if there is something she doesn't understand, we must mention one or two, and she will naturally figure it out when the time comes. Chunjuan sighed: "The princess has indeed grown up, do you remember that the princess was most afraid of seeing people when she was a child, and she was unwilling to take a step out of the door unless she wanted to salute and say hello!" ”

"Not really!" Xia Aya said with a smile.

Within a day or two, Jinshu got the invitation list drawn up by Xia Aya. She looked at it carefully and was a little worried, so she asked Chunjuan: "Chunjuan, do you say that if I invite them, will they come?" ”

"Back to the princess, under normal circumstances, no one will refuse." Chunjuan said: "First, they won't offend the royal princess at will, and even if they come, there is no loss." Second, the princess has not offended anyone in the past few days, they have no hatred or hatred, unless there is really something that can't get out, they will definitely come. Three come ......" Chunjuan hesitated for a moment and looked up at Jinshu's face.

"Three for what?" Jin Shuzheng listened with relish, and asked casually: "Say it!" ”

"Three, recently, the horse went to Chunxiangyuan again, and rumors ...... in the capital."

Jin Shu smiled, put down the list and sighed helplessly: "That is to say, they still want to come to see my jokes and add fun to life!" ”

Sure enough, gossip is human nature. For the noble lady who guards the house all day long, life is too boring, can there be such a big bustle, can you not go up and make up for it?

Jin Shu rubbed his head, sighed and ordered: "What's that, Xia Aya, you go back to the Shen Guogong Mansion and ask the concubine to see if he has any people to invite, write a list and invite them together." ”

If she invites a banquet, Shen Zhizhang will definitely come, and since he is coming, then even his friends will be invited. Moving out of the Shen Mansion by himself has already slapped the Shen family in the face in disguise, if they don't invite their family to come again, I'm afraid they will make headlines in the capital again!

Xia Aya nodded in response.

At night, Jin Shu gathered next to the candlelight, stared at the list, and began to seriously study his friends.

Several sisters in their own family, except for the young Seventh Princess, it is really difficult for others to develop into friends. The eldest princess is unattainable, and it is too difficult to become a friend, and it is crossed. Although the second princess helped her at the state banquet of the Northern Night Kingdom, she has a restless terrorist brother and the second prince who may rebel, and it is better for Jinshu to stay away from political danger and cross. The third princess has a clear mind, and now she is unhappy in her marriage, and she feels a little complained about Jinshu, and she is crossed. The fourth princess is a wall-to-wall grass that falls on both sides, and is easy to be inserted into the knife and crossed. The fifth princess, a progressive young woman, may be carried away by love at any time, hurt herself, and cross.

The royal princess group, only the still young seven princesses can develop. Jin Shu shook his head and sighed, and began to study the others.

Soon, Wu Xiang, the daughter of the eldest princess of Fuqing, entered Jinshu's sight.
