Mother said with a smile, the third brother left, because he was dressed in white, but if I want to leave the capital, it will definitely attract the attention of the court, and this matter will not work. Xiahou Lin shook his head vigorously.

"Then send Wang and a few children away. The old lady's expression was firm, which made people feel frightened in their hearts, could it be that Xiahou Mansion had really reached the moment of life and death?

Xiahou Xuan asked the question in his heart, and the old lady shook her head and said: "At present, the imperial court does not dare to take us under the knife, and it is the best policy to take precautions." ”

"What my mother said was that it was best to arrange it as early as possible. Xiahou Lin also agreed to the old lady's arrangement.

"Mingyue is entrusted to Xiangwang's Mansion, and with them to take care of it, you don't have to worry. ”

Xiahou Xuan nodded, with an indescribable melancholy in his heart, now only with military power in his hands can he protect everyone in the mansion through this difficulty, thinking of this, Xiahou Xuan can't wait to put on his wings and fly to the border.

Mrs. Zhou finally waited for the banquet invitation sent by Xiahou Shuang, and Mrs. Zhou, who was broiled with the invitation, asked with an uncertain expression: "Who received the post?"

The housekeeper bent down and said, "I heard that the princesses of the mansion who have heads and faces in the Yangping Prefecture Mansion have all made posts. ”

"Got it. ”

This move is just an opportunity to win over, hmph, compared to the lord who has been entrenched here for so many years, these actions of the palace are not to be feared.

The relationship in Yangping Prefecture is complicated, everyone is for their own benefit, even if the prince knows that it is impossible to cut it all together, Mrs. Zhou understands in her heart, and she is a little less in awe of Xiahou Shuang.

On the day of the banquet, Mrs. Zhou called her daughter-in-law Zhou Zhilan to dress up carefully, got into a carriage and drove towards the palace.

Before arriving at the palace, it was already difficult to walk on the road, and the carriages coming and going blocked the road tightly, so Mrs. Zhou had to get out of the car and take Zhou Zhilan to the gate of the palace.

handed over the greeting post in his hand, and the little maid greeted him with a smile on his face, and a maid took Mrs. Zhou and the two towards the inner courtyard.

The maid walks lightly and respectfully, in the end, she is the princess ** who comes out, and the maid in the ordinary house is really incomparable.

The sound of laughter before anyone arrived in the house had already come out from afar, and Mrs. Zhou frowned imperceptibly when she heard it.

The person who is talking is the wife of the richest man in Yangping Prefecture, Master Hong, who is a well-known figure in Yangping Prefecture, who has been in business for generations and has accumulated countless wealth.

The ancestor of Hong also knew that there was no power in the house, and he could not keep these wealth, so he set a family rule, and the right to be in charge of the house in later generations could only be passed on to the children and grandchildren who married the official lady.

Now the head of the Hong family married this lady is the youngest daughter of the Yangping Prefecture Water Transport Overseer, Mrs. Hong and Mr. Hong met as a young man, the two fell in love with each other at first sight, and Mr. Hong repeatedly begged to go to the Overseer's Mansion to hold the beauty.

In the past, Mrs. Hong and Mrs. Zhou competed with each other, and no one was convinced, Mrs. Zhou's banquet Mrs. Hong always pushed back and saw no one, and the princess came quickly this time.

Seeing that the ladies in Mrs. Zhou's house stopped talking and got up to say hello, Mrs. Hong said lazily: "We have all arrived for a while, and Mrs. Zhou has only arrived at this time." ”

This slut, as soon as he saw him, he was tit-for-tat, and Mrs. Zhou's silver teeth clenched her eyes and a knife flew out: "It's really not as good as Mrs. Hong, and I didn't necessarily see Mrs. Hong's hands and feet so numb in the past, but I didn't expect it to come early today." ”

The people around you who came and listened to the two of them were secretly worried, lest there be any more disputes, but fortunately, after saying a few words, there was a maid's voice outside, it was Xiahou Shuang who arrived.

Today's Xiahou Shuang is dressed in red clothes, with exquisite makeup, she looks extravagant, and the lady who saw Xiahou Shuang for the first time couldn't help but secretly exclaim, Princess Alcohol is really a stunning beauty!

Today's banquet is placed in the Avon Pavilion, the Avon Pavilion occupies the highest position in the palace, looking out from the attic, half of Yangping Prefecture is in full view.

The high attic has long been decorated by the lower people, and the red carpet spreads all over the attic, and the faint smoke burns in the building, and the whole attic is filled with an intoxicating sweetness.

Xiahou Shuang sat on the first seat, raised the fruit wine in his hand and said, "Thank you for your face appreciation today, come to the banquet, please." ”

"The princess is really polite, today the concubine has seen what is amazing, it turns out that these words are prepared for the princess. Mrs. Hong covered her lips and smiled.

"That's it, it's ......" echoed the sound underneath.

Xiahou Shuang smiled silently, among the more than a dozen ladies who came today, only this Mrs. Hong's husband was born in a businessman, but she didn't expect that this Mrs. Hong would be a popular presence among the official ladies, which is probably thanks to Mrs. Hong's mother's power and her own wrists.

"Princess, the little girl brought her talent today, and I invite the princess to appreciate it. Not to be outdone, Mrs. Zhou pushed Zhou Zhilan out.

"Mrs. Zhou has thought it through, so let's appreciate Miss Zhou's talent. ”

Zhou Zhilan sat down behind a piano after the salute, stretched out her hand to stroke the strings, the sound of the piano was insignificant, but the skill was rare.

At the end of the song, remembering the applause outside the attic, Xiao Xinrong slowly walked in.

Xiahou Shuang got up in surprise and said, "Why is the prince here?"

"I heard that the princess invited a distinguished guest, and the king also came to join in the fun. The corners of Xiao Xinrong's lips were raised, sitting next to Xiahou Shuang, her eyes drifted over the standing Zhou Zhilan and nodded, "Miss Zhou's piano sound is good." ”

A hint of blush appeared on Zhou Zhilan's face, and she secretly looked at Xiao Xinrong, seeing that he was not looking at herself after he finished speaking, she was a little disappointed in her heart, and said, "Thank you for your appreciation." ”

Prince Wen has been brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, and it is rumored that he is a cold-faced prince who is not close to people, but he didn't expect to be so friendly, it seems that the rumors are not credible.

The ladies breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and their husbands would definitely not be difficult to do under his nose in the future.

Xiao Xinrong just came over to say hello, seeing that everyone present was restrained, and left directly without stopping, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, only Zhou Zhilan looked at his departing back gloomily.

Zhou Zhilan, who went back to the carriage, looked sad, and Mrs. Zhou sensed that something was wrong and couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter? Isn't it that I was tired in the palace just now?"

Zhou Zhilan's mind is Xiao Xinrong's figure at the moment, she is only sixteen or seventeen years old this year, and it is time to say goodbye, Mrs. Zhou is dissatisfied with many children in the house.

When Zhou Zhilan saw Xiao Xinrong today, the girl's heart suddenly had a place to rest, how could Xiao Xinrong's momentum of fighting on the battlefield all year round be comparable to that of ordinary sons of a family, just this glance made Zhou Zhilan fall in.
