This is the first time that Princess Chang'an's family has invited so many people. \ In previous years, most of the people hosting banquets were Princess Changying.
Now that Princess Changying was unlucky, it was her turn to host.
Since it was a family banquet, there were no separate tables for men and women.
Several tables were opened in the rolling shed.
It’s also more lively.
The roll tent in the Princess Mansion is very spacious, with four tables set up, and the venue is more than enough.
It is dotted with daffodils and bougainvillea, which is both festive and comfortable.
Princess Linjiang liked the arrangement as soon as she saw it, and couldn't help praising Princess Chang'an for the arrangement.
Princess Chang'an then laughed: "I didn't arrange this, Ah Sheng liked it, so I arranged it this way and I said it was too troublesome, but she likes to take care of it."
The Lord of Xianrong County hung his head in embarrassment, and Princess Linjiang shook her head with a smile on her face: "That's good.
Girls should be quiet.
This is how they can live their lives."
Princess Chang'an scolded her: "Don't spoil her, otherwise she will become even more lawless."
He also talked about the time when the Lord of Xianrong County gave flowers to the Queen and Concubine De when he entered the palace: "The Queen likes green plums and said the flowers this girl arranged are beautiful, but it's a pity that the fourth prince doesn't like them."
This was to reveal to King Linjiang that the fourth prince's temper was now even more violent.
Princess Linjiang listened and smiled slightly: "Each flower catches your eye, and some don't like it.
I like flowers, but it's a pity that I have to leave soon.
Otherwise, I would like to ask Ah Sheng for advice on how to raise flowers."
Narcissus can nourish the water spirit.”
After joking for a while, the head of Xianrong County looked at Shen Chen again, smiled and asked him: "Your cousins have all been found, why are you the only one who still has no certainty?"
She couldn't help but joke at the same time: "Is it possible that you really have a crush on Ji Da?"
King Linjiang couldn't help but glare at Shen Chen and sneered: "I haven't learned the good stuff, but I've learned 100% of these things.
They are completely useless."
Prince Consort Yuan quickly helped smooth things over: "Children, no one is young and frivolous.
Don't talk about him.
The more you talk about him, the more he feels that he is doing the right thing."
Princess Chang'an also agreed.
The head of Xianrong County took the opportunity to glance at Shen Chen.
She had always looked down upon Shen Chen in the past.
She only thought that this man was a 100% playboy with no merit at all.
But recently, when she often followed her mother in and out, she realized that Shen Chen was not a playboy at all, but a hidden careerist.
Chu Jingxing was also set up by him, which was why he suffered such a big mistake.
King Linjiang replaced all the people around him.
Because of this, she always felt that Shen Chen's usually easy-going smile had an indescribable meaning, so she turned her eyes and looked at Chu Jingxing again.
Chu Jingxing noticed it and smiled slightly at her.
The Lord of Xianrong County lowered his head in embarrassment.
The uneasiness and anxiety in his heart were all calmed down, and he breathed out softly.
When the wine was over, the eldest princess of Chang'an glanced at Chu Jingxing and mentioned Yuan Hongwen's marriage: "I thought, Hongwen is not young anymore.
He should have started a family long ago, but he has never been able to find a suitable candidate."
He mentioned that he wanted to propose marriage to the Xiao family, and then said softly: "This is also a rare opportunity.
I heard that all the girls in the Xiao family are good, so I discussed it with the consort and planned to marry a girl from the Xiao family on behalf of Hong Wen."
King Linjiang paused his chopsticks thoughtfully, glanced at Chu Jingxing, and then asked nonchalantly: "Why did you think of marrying the Xiao family?"
"Mrs.
Mei once praised the Xiao family's wife in front of me, saying that the Xiao family's wife has a gentle temperament and a good reputation.
I thought that Hong Wen is lawless and needs someone who can control him."

Princess Chang'an didn't He looked back at King Linjiang animatedly: "I will also be an arm in the future."
This is a direct expression of one's feelings.
Perhaps she originally wanted to express this intention by inviting them over this time.
After all, Princess Chang'an is a smart person and should be able to see the turmoil between the two palaces.
King Linjiang then smiled: "I don't know anything about the affairs between you women and other people.
Since you say that the girls from the Xiao family are good, they must be really good.
After all, girls from big families can't do anything bad. ” The eldest princess of Chang'an also laughed in a low voice: "That's not what you mean.
Since we are a good match and we are about the same age, I fell in love with him."
He chatted with the absent-minded Princess Jin for a few more words, and waited until the curfew was approaching before letting everyone leave.
King Linjiang made an exception and let Shen Chen go first, letting Chu Jingwu ride with Princess Linjiang.
He and Chu Jingxing rode in the same carriage.
After getting on the carriage, he asked him bluntly: "You are responsible for this marriage." line" No one knows the relationship between the Xiao family and Chu Jingxing better than him.
When Xia Song was an official in the palace, Xiao Yu also served as a minister in Linjiang Palace as the deputy director of the Imperial Academy.
Compared with Xia Song, the relationship between Xiao Yu and Chu Jingxing was that of master and apprentice in the true sense. relationship.
Chu Jingxing respected Xiao Yu very much, and Xiao Yu also liked to take care of Chu Jingxing.
Over the years, the Xiao family has maintained an excellent relationship with Linjiang Prince's Mansion.
The Xiao family is a very wise family.
Originally, Xia Song was the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial Academy, and had a superior-subordinate relationship with Xiao Yu.
However, after the late emperor passed away and Emperor Longqing succeeded to the throne, Xia Song continued to be an official, and Xiao Yu But he bravely retreated and chose to retire.
If Chu Jingxing hadn't pulled the strings inside, with the name of the Princess Chang'an Mansion, she really wouldn't have been able to get married to the Xiao family.
Chu Jingxing did not deny it.
He responded honestly and said sincerely: "The eldest princess of Chang'an is interested in the reputation of the Xiao family and wants to marry the Xiao family.
She also knows about my past relationship with the Xiao family.
So he entrusted it to me.
My son felt that this was not a bad thing.
In this way, the eldest princess's mansion would be closer to us, so he agreed on his own initiative, but I still asked my aunt to ask you first."
King Linjiang listened in silence, glanced at him, and said meaningfully.
He knew that the eldest son had always been restless and insecure, and felt that he valued the second son more than him, so he was always tolerant towards him.
But this tolerance also has limits.
He stared at Chu Jingxing until he lowered his head, thought for a moment, and then said, "I plan to keep your brother in the capital with you."
Chu Jingxing raised his head in surprise, unable to react for a moment.
"The empress's intention is very obvious.
She wants me to keep both of her legitimate sons.
If we insist on not agreeing, it's up to two people whether we can return to the fiefdom or not."
King Linjiang coughed.
Seeing the complicated look on his eldest son's face, he calmly said He said: "I hope you can understand through this incident that as a parent, you may not be able to treat your children equally, but you will not be extremely partial to any one
