Chapter 31: The Garden Feast

The breeze lightly hit the window lattice, blowing away the heat floating on her face, Lou Yunxiao leaned on the Luohan couch under the window, leisurely swaying her bare feet, and the plain gauze dress was casually covered on her body, and she was integrated with the acacia trees blooming outside the window from a distance, just like the person in the painting.

She looked at the delicate invitation card carefully, the font was painted with iron and silver hooks, vigorous and powerful, but she could see that the person who wrote it was full of tenderness.

"San Niangzi, the chilled lotus seed soup and mung bean paste are ready, and eating them at this moment is the best way to cool off." Sanssouci took the tray and placed it on top of the mahogany scheme beside her.

Lou Yunxiao lightly opened her lips and bit a bite of mung bean paste, and her mood became more pleasant after eating sweets, "You said that this was sent by Leji himself?" ”

"yes, Leji was weird that day, and he looked very nervous." Wuwu scooped a big bowl of chilled lotus seed soup for Lou Yunxiao and served it to her, but found that she was still holding the invitation and refused to put it down, "The three ladies have been watching it for several days, and the left and right are just a garden banquet set up by General Mu, and the three ladies seem to care very much." ”

As if she was caught by Wuwu's heart, Lou Yunxiao hurriedly put the invitation beside her and took the bowl in Wuwu's hand, "I don't have it." ”

"Actually, General Mu is really good to the third lady, not only for the third lady, but also for the third lady to seek justice and punish Fu and the second room, you are in bed for a few days General Mu came to send the ointment ordered by Imperial Doctor Chen every day. Even the people in the palace said that General Mu was very affectionate to you, and those rumors in the capital were self-defeating. With such a good son-in-law, isn't the third lady not moved at all? ”

Wuwu knelt on the ground, leaning on the Luohan couch and counting Mu Lingci's goodness.

"He treats me well, how can I not be moved, but I am nothing now, and I can't even protect myself." Lou Yunxiao still maintains the idea of a woman in the new era, she doesn't want to rely on her husband for everything in the future, and she doesn't want to be the kind of woman who is low in order to please her husband.

"Carefree doesn't quite understand, but ......" Carefree held his cheeks, full of question marks.

"Okay, tomorrow is the garden banquet, don't think about how to dress up your three ladies." Lou Yunxiao sat up and walked to the dressing table with no worries.

It was rare for the Mu family to set up a banquet, and invited the prince and princess all over the city, as well as the Langjun ladies in the capital, and Mu Lingci even invited the imperial aunt.

The imperial aunt loved Ling Ci and directly changed the venue of the banquet to her own private garden, which is full of green trees and vast, which is the best garden to escape the heat and cool in summer. There are even 12 patchwork pavilions and polo fields built by Emperor Shun for the imperial aunt, if you say the most beautiful woman in the capital, it is none other than the imperial aunt Li Wanxi.

At noon, the carriages of each family have arrived one after another, and you must hold an invitation card to enter the park, and all the little ladies to be married will get a handkerchief when entering the park.

Lou Yunxiao also learned from the carriage that Chun'er and Lou Yunxue also had invitations, but their invitations were sent by the Mufu maid.

Lou Yunxue didn't speak all the way, since Fu was imprisoned in the East Courtyard, she was depressed all day long, she knelt in front of Lou Qihuai's room every day and begged him to forgive Fu, but Lou Qihuai refused to see her no matter what. The day before yesterday, Lou Qihuai personally went to Biyuan Temple to pick up Chu Yuxian, and Lou Yunxue was even more disillusioned when there was no one to ask for.

The carriage slowly stopped, Lou Yunxiao took Chun'er to get out of the carriage first, and Lou Yunxue followed in a daze.

Lou Yunxiao took out the invitation card and handed it to the little maid in Mufu, who knew that the little guy looked at it, his eyes dilated, turned around and took out a beautifully embroidered handkerchief from a delicate box and handed it to Lou Yunxiao.

The little servant lowered his voice and said to her: "This is the handkerchief that my family Langjun specially ordered to give you, you must not give it to others, you must keep it well." ”

She didn't know what Mu Lingci was doing, but she still obediently folded the handkerchief and hid it.

There were already many little ladies in the garden, and as soon as they saw Lou Xuanyi coming, they all surrounded him like a wave of bees and butterflies.

Su Rongyan on the side looked at it from a distance and withdrew one foot that poked out.

"Sister Rong Yan!" Lou Yunxiao saw Su Rongyan standing next to the flowers, pulled Chun'er and walked over.

Su Rongyan heard the prestige, and saw Lou Yunxiao wearing a light blue white magnolia pattern, and suddenly felt cheerful, "Sister Yunxiao, Sister Chun'er." ”

"What did Sister Rong Yan just look at?" Lou Yunchun asked innocently.

Su Rongyan's face immediately turned red, and she hurriedly said that it was nothing.

The three of them talked and laughed and walked to the pavilion, there was a sweet fruit cold drink on the stone table under the pavilion, although it was not very hot now, but it was also comfortable to eat a bite of cool things.

"I heard that Brother Cangyuan has often visited his sister recently, and the capital has spread all over the city, saying that General Mu is happy with the three ladies of the building, and he must see the three ladies every day to go to the barracks with peace of mind. I just don't know if the rumors are true? Su Rongyan quipped.

She had long known that Mu Ling was pleased with Lou Yunxiao, but she didn't know what Lou Yunxiao's attitude was, and she said this to test it.

Lou Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't tell her that Mu Lingci came to give her medicine every day, so she could only smile and say, "General Mu has a very good relationship with my brother, and he came to see me just by the way." ”

When Su Rongyan heard this, she felt a little regretful, "It seems that Brother Cangyuan still needs to work hard." ”

At this moment, there was a commotion from the crowd in the distance. The three people under the pavilion sounded as if Princess Changhe was losing her temper, but they couldn't hear exactly why.

The three of them walked over in unison, and as soon as they approached the crowd, they heard Princess Changhe scolding: "Who told you that Cangyuan abandoned this princess!" What kind of thing is Lou Yunxiao, just because she deserves to be with Cangyuan? ”

At this time, someone in the crowd found Lou Yunxiao and shouted: "Yo, isn't this the third lady of the Lou family in the cultivation lane." ”

Everyone looked at it together, and Lou Yunxiao also found that there was a trembling little lady kneeling on the grass in the center of the crowd.

"Princess Changhe, I know it's wrong." The little lady huddled in the crowd, her voice inaudible.

"Hmph, the Bai family is not even as good as the Lou family, and they dare to talk nonsense here, you will kneel here later, and kneel until the banquet is held!" Princess Changhe had a proud face, and she couldn't tolerate the slightest disobedience from others.

Bai Xinyao hung her head, quietly wiping her tears and didn't dare to refute.

The Langjun lady of the official eunuch family here is here, and Princess Changhe actually asked her to kneel in public, which makes a little woman how to raise her head in the future, and now that the scorching sun is in the sky, even if she kneels for a long time, she will get sunstroke even if her legs don't kneel.

Lou Yunxiao didn't want to meddle in things, but the more she thought about it, the more outrageous she felt, as a princess, could she disregard human life. Anyway, today is in the Imperial Aunt's private garden, the Imperial Aunt has always been upright and strict, thinking that even if she and her husband take the initiative to make trouble to the Imperial Aunt, it will be nothing, thinking of this, she immediately rushed into the crowd and helped Bai Xinyao up.

"Has Princess Changhe always been so reckless about human life?"

"Lou Yunxiao, how dare you help her? Who taught you to be so ......"

"So what?" Lou Yunxiao retorted, "If Princess Changhe thinks that the little lady is wrong, it is better to inform the imperial aunt later that it is not too late to punish her, after all, this is the imperial aunt's private garden, if there is a human life, can Princess Changhe afford it?" ”

Princess Changhe then remembered that this was the realm of the imperial aunt, and her arrogance disappeared in an instant, and she said fiercely to Lou Yunxiao: "Lou Yunxiao, don't think that I will be afraid of you if you press me with your aunt." Now it's this princess who is magnanimous and only spares you once, don't be too complacent! ”

Lou Yunxiao looked at the face close at hand and said: "Princess Changhe has time to play majestic, it is better to take good care of her skin, look at the many small poxes on this face, you can know that the princess has a strong liver fire on weekdays, and the woman's appearance is very important, so Princess Changhe should cherish it a lot." ”

The little ladies around couldn't help but want to lean over and take a look when they heard it, and Princess Changhe was annoyed and angry at the moment, covered her face and shook off everyone and went to the south side of the pavilion in the garden for the lady to change clothes.

Lou Yunxiao took Bai Xinyao away from the crowd, and looking at her simple outfit, you can see why she was bullied by those little ladies.

"Dare to ask this sister's name?"

"I, my name is Bai Xinyao." Bai Xinyao hung her head, her hands nervously clasping.

Bai Xinyao's background is not high, her father is just a big Li Zheng from the fifth grade, and she herself is a little transparent among the nobles, if it weren't for the fact that she was abused in public by Princess Changhe today, Lou Yunxiao might not know that there was this person in the capital for the rest of her life.

"Thank you Lou Sanniang for coming to the rescue." Bai Xinyao looked at Lou Yunxiao with gratitude on her face, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Such a brave and beautiful woman, no wonder General Mu is moved.

"Sister Xinyao doesn't need to say thank you." Lou Yunxiao smiled, and introduced Su Rongyan and Chun'er to her, and the four of them talked for a while.

Lunch was arranged in the third pavilion on the west side, because it was a male and female banquet, the little ladies were all overjoyed, pestering Lou Xuanyi to talk about poetry and words, Lou Xuanyi's mat was almost empty of people standing around, not only the Lang Jun around him suffered, but even Lou Yunxiao behind him was squeezed away.

Compared with Mu Lingci's temperament of not entering, Lou Xuanyi is more likable. Naturally, Lou Xuanyi didn't want to do this, he was not good at murdering these little ladies because of the Lou family's face, but who knew that they had to make inches.

Lou Xuanyi's head was big, and he looked at Lou Yunxiao with a disgusted look for help.

Lou Yunxiao shook her head helplessly, turned around and shouted at the door: "Wow, General Mu!" ”
