By the time Lu Wangshu and Sasha came back, everyone had already sat down, waiting for the palace people to prepare vegetables.

Seeing that the two of them were back, Xun Ning, who was sitting alone with the elders, relaxed a lot, and his still stiff face instantly showed a relaxed expression.

"You two, where did this go? Coming back so late? ”

Su Xiaoman asked, thinking that the two men and women were unmarried, and it would not be good if something came out.

Lu Wangshu stepped forward, knowing that his mother had concerns, and explained to everyone.

"Back to my mother, today we went to see Sister Zijin, it is not her fault for this incident, we want not to let her blame herself."

Su Xiaoman listened and nodded, it is true that they are doing this very well, they always have a merciful heart, and they will definitely be rewarded again in the future.

This is the credit of Su Xiaoman's recitation of the Buddha in the past year, and he can be with the Buddha's advice in everything.

Saria and King Ning also gave the two of them approving glances, and then Su Xiaoman asked the two to return to their seats quickly.

After eating, everyone returned to their own bedrooms, because Sasha could not be allowed to live alone, so King Ning lived in the nearest dormitory to them.

Su Xiaoman was very anxious to wait for Lu Li to come back, because she still had to discuss with him about his birthday banquet.

By the time Lu Li returned to Kunning Palace, Su Xiaoman was almost asleep, and when he heard the voice, he quickly opened his eyes and stepped forward.

"You're back."

Lu Li snorted, it was a little strange, I don't know why today, Su Xiaoman was so enthusiastic.

Su Xiaoman didn't hide it, and said directly.

"Your birthday is coming up next month, how are you going to set up a banquet!"

Lu Li raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Xiaoman in front of him, his eyes were full of doubts, he had reigned for so many years, and he had never set up a birthday banquet.

Then Lu Li pulled Su Xiaoman to sit on the soft couch beside him, and asked with a frown.

"It's been so many years, and I haven't held a birthday party, how are you doing today?"

Su Xiaoman knew that he would ask this, and then told Lu Li about today's matter.

Lu Li listened to it and understood, but he didn't expect Su Xiaoman to use this method to prevent King Ning's family from going home.

"So, just to keep them from coming home?"

Su Xiaoman saw that Lu Li was a little displeased, and then continued to speak.

"yes, I haven't been with Saza enough, and Wangshu doesn't want to part with Sasha so soon, don't you say?"

Su Xiaoman said as he hugged Lu Li's arm, shaking as if he was being coquettish.

Lu Li couldn't stand her appearance the most, and shook his sleeves with some disgust.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoman remembered that there was one more thing he hadn't said, so he opened his mouth and continued.

"By the way, this birthday banquet is not held in vain, when the time comes, invite the ladies of each household, and we will also arrange one for King Shen, King Shen is not small, it's time to set up a concubine, isn't it?"

Su Xiaoman said, Lu Li had some thoughts, his eyes narrowed slightly, thinking that it was indeed time.

Then Lu Li thought about making it bad, and asked Su Xiaoman.

"Since you said that you want to choose a concubine for King Shen, your heart

Is there a suitable candidate? ”

Su Xiaoman was stunned when she heard this, she didn't think about it at all, she just wanted to keep Salia.

Then she saw a wicked smile on the corner of Lu Li's mouth, understood that he was teasing herself, and then said.

"You know I have no arrangement, and you're still making fun of me here, it's too bad."

Lu Li saw that Su Xiaoman reacted, laughed, and then spoke.

"Okay, I won't make fun of you, in a few days, I will have someone send you a portrait of this woman in Beijing, you can find time to talk to King Shen and see if he has a match."

Su Xiaoman laughed when he heard this, and it seemed that he still agreed.

Lu Li looked at Su Xiaoman, who was happy from the bottom of his heart, and shook his head helplessly, who called her his wife, spoiled it.

From the next day, Su Xiaoman began to be busy for Lu Li's birthday banquet, arranging all matters.

Although she could arrange all of them to the Ministry of Rites, she still wanted to do something for Lu Li by herself.

Su Xiaoman arranged the task to go down, and then looked at the portrait handed over by the eunuch beside Lu Li.

Zhang Zhang is a beauty, which dazzles Su Xiaoman, and Salia is a little difficult to see on the side.

"You said that this young lady of the Shangshu family, and the young lady of the general's family, which one is better-looking?"

Su Xiaoman picked up two portraits that were comparable and let Salia in front of him distinguish them.

Saria was also dizzy at this time, and couldn't tell what was what, and then remembered that it would be better to call King Shen over directly.

"It's too difficult, I'm dazzled, just call King Shen over and let him see it himself?"

Su Xiaoman had already sent someone, so naturally he didn't have to wait for Salia to say, and then he said to the person in front of him.

"It's called, it's almost there, you just take a closer look at these two, which one is better?"

Salia was dizzy at this time, and almost fainted when she heard Su Xiaoman ask again.

Su Xiaoman turned the two flowers over, looked at the two delicate faces on them, and spoke.

"I heard that the daughter of this general is a famous talented woman, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can also do martial arts, presumably she and King Shen are very suitable on the side."

Salia was lying on the table at this time, nodded helplessly, and said, Su Xiaoman was right about everything.

When King Shen arrived in the back garden, he found two women lying lazily on the stone table, so he stepped forward to say goodbye.

"The minister asked the mother to say goodbye, I don't know what the mother called me this time?"

Su Xiaoman saw King Shen coming, so he hurriedly got up and pulled him over and sat aside.

"It's all a family, so you don't have to be so polite."

King Shen was confused, looking at the portrait on the stone table in front of him, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

Su Xiaoman pressed his shoulder, and Salia also picked up the portrait on the table casually, and asked.

"Shen'er, you say, between the two women, which one do you like more?"

King Shen raised his eyebrows puzzled, looked back at Su Xiaoman, saw her raise her eyebrows to let herself choose, and then looked at Saria, she was holding two flowers dangling in front of his eyes.

I really didn't face the two women

There is a way, King Shen can only obey his fate, and looked at the woman in the painting, one is as tender as water, and the other eyebrows reveal heroism.

Because he had been on the battlefield for a long time, he pointed to the slightly heroic woman between his eyebrows.

"This, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, what are you asking for, won't you introduce me to the princess..."

After King Shen finished pointing to the woman, he asked suspiciously, Su Xiaoman and Saria smiled at each other, which made King Shen a little flustered.

Su Xiaoman let go of his shoulders, sat aside, put away the portrait he had pointed out just now, and then said with a smile.

"This is natural, you are not too young, naturally you want to start a family, and we, as elders, naturally have to worry about you."

King Shen had goosebumps all over his body when he heard this, he didn't expect Su Xiaoman to be like this, he didn't think about any male and female relationships at all.

Unexpectedly, they actually thought about arranging for themselves, and when they thought of this, King Shen suddenly thought that they were going to prepare a birthday banquet for the emperor these days.

Looking at the appearance of the two people in front of him in turn, he then thought of a serious question and said tentatively.

"Is it possible, do you want to find me at the emperor's birthday banquet?"

The two of them sat in front of the stone table, with the corners of their mouths curled, and nodded with a smile, making King Shen uncomfortable.

After confirming this, King Shen thought about getting up and leaving, but seeing that the two in front of him were his elders, he sat back stiffly.

Su Xiaoman and the others didn't waste time, and handed them to him one by one.

King Shen was not ambiguous, and carefully distinguished, although he may not necessarily fall in love with them, but he still has to give this face.

After a stack of portraits of King Shen was selected, Su Xiaoman patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and instructed.

"You have to prepare well these days, remember to dress up handsome and fascinate them when the time comes."

King Shen smiled numbly, not knowing what he should say, so he could only laugh.

Looking at the two women who were excitedly discussing, King Shen got up and asked.

"There's nothing to do with me here, Niangniang, you two are busy, I'll retire first."

Seeing that he was leaving, Su Xiaoman hurriedly grabbed him and asked the last question.

"Wait, do you have any requirements for your princess? Scholarly family or martial arts family, or do you want to be both civil and military? ”

After hearing this, King Shen thought that it might be a little difficult to find both civil and military skills, and then said.

"Both civil and military, naturally it is good to be both civil and military."

Su Xiaoman listened, nodded, and then said to him with a solemn face.

"Just have a direction, don't worry, I will pick out the best one for you."

Listening to Su Xiaoman's voice, King Shen was a little afraid to answer, so he could only retire with a smile.

After King Shen left, the two women got together again.

"I'll just say, the general's daughter is suitable, you see, he likes it."

Su Xiaoman whispered in her ear, for fear of being listened to by others, so she was very careful.

Saria pouted, obviously the gentle and elegant ladies are worthy of King Shen, and those who know martial arts are not worthy of it.

The two of them chattered, and selected a few of the ones that fit their eyes among the remaining ones that were picked by King Shen and put them into the list of candidates.

After getting it done, Su Xiaoman beckoned Xianglan and asked her to count the stack of portraits, and then write invitations according to these.

After arranging the affairs of King Shen, Su Xiaoman remembered again that he needed a show that day, so he ordered something that should be prepared.

In addition to those women who should prepare, she also wanted to do something for Lu Li personally, after all, for the first time in so many years, she celebrated Lu Li for the first time.

Saria said that she was going to go out with King Ning, so she didn't accompany Su Xiaoman, Su Xiaoman knew that they were going to pick a gift for Lu Li.

The entire palace was lit up, and seeing that the day was getting closer and closer, Su Xiaoman became more and more busy, customizing the menu, as well as the banquet location, and leaving the rest to the Ministry of Rites to deal with.

In order to show sincerity, Su Xiaoman personally wrote the cover of the invitation, and each one was very exquisite.

"It's over, I'm exhausted."

Su Xiaoman finished writing the last invitation, put down the pen and began to hammer his shoulders.

Lu Li on the side saw it, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he said to her with a chuckle.

"It's not self-inflicted, if you weren't going to hold a banquet, would you be so tired?"
