Li Tingxue sent invitations to all the prominent ladies and nobles in Chang'an City.
Invite them to the elegant gathering in two days.
She is the princess of Hanyang County.
The appeal is naturally huge.
On the day the invitations were sent out, most of them were accepted.
The rest of them also said that they would discuss it with their mistress when she came back.
If the mistress agrees, she will come.
This is not an excuse, but they really want to ask the mistress for instructions.
Although the politics of the Tang Dynasty were liberal, the people's customs were not as conservative as those of later generations.
But even if it is open again, it is only open compared to other dynasties.
How many women who have not yet left the court wander around alone on the streets?
A woman who can walk around in the streets.
Or the housekeeper who goes to the street to do errands.
Or she was a farmer's wife who went to the city with her children to do shopping.
Or she is a promiscuous woman waving a handkerchief and calling out "Come and play".
For the real noble family members of the ancient times, if they wanted to travel out of their homes, they would have to be accompanied by their mistress.
If the mistress doesn't want to go, no matter who invites her, she can't go.
Mrs. Lu Guo, who is the main star of Li Chengqian's plan, naturally received the invitation.
But, she didn't want to go.
One is that she is now having a headache from Ms. Cui.
The second reason is that she comes from a small family and is not interested in writing poems, arranging flowers, etc.
So I sent someone to send a message to Li Tingxue.
I excused myself from going because my family was busy with affairs and I couldn't get away.
But before the boy could go out, Cheng Hualiang grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.
Seeing this, Mrs. Lu Guo looked puzzled: "Huai Liang, what are you doing?"
"Mom, don't you want to go to the gathering?"
"yes."
Mrs. Lu Guo rolled her eyes at him, straightened her clothes and said, "There are so many things going on in the house, how can I have the time to attend the gathering?"
"No, you must listen to me this time and go ahead no matter what."
"Why?"
"Mom, did you read what was written on the invitation?" > "Of course I did. Isn't it just to invite celebrities and their families to attend the gathering?"
Mrs. Lu Guo looked at Cheng Hualiang with a puzzled face.
"Then why haven't you ever thought about where the famous ladies come from in our family?"
Cheng Huailiang rolled his eyes and said, "My sister is only three years old this year. Do you think the princess should let her go?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Lu Guo raised her eyebrows.
Apparently he sensed something was wrong.
Although it is an elegant gathering of celebrities and their families.
But in fact, many men with good family backgrounds are invited to come.
If the man is not married and the woman is not married, many things will fall into place.
Therefore, the elegant gathering is more like an ancient social gathering.
Cheng Huailiang also knew that his mother was straightforward and did not know about those intrigues.
So I didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "Mom, let me just tell the truth."
"Your Highness knows that my mother is in a bad situation right now, so I want to help her contain the situation in the west room."
Hearing this, Mrs. Lu Guo smiled bitterly.
"You go back and talk to him and tell him how kind he is. I appreciate it."
"But he really can't help with this matter."
Although Li Chengqian was a prince, he was also the professed King of Qin.
But it doesn't mean that he can interfere in the inner court affairs of the minister's family.
"You don't need to worry so much. His Highness has already planned these things."
"You just need to take my uncle's cousin with you on the day of the gathering."
See Cheng Huailiang's confident look.
Savoring his words carefully.
Mrs. Lu Guo raised her eyebrows and said, "You mean, His Highness is attracted to your cousin?"
"That's not true."
"But His Highness did arrange a good marriage for my cousin."
Cheng Huailiang said with a smile.
Thinking of the niece I watched grow up.
Mrs. Lu Guo couldn't bear it.
"If His Highness is not interested in you, then who is?
"
"Have you seen that man?"
"Of course I have."
"That man is one of the most prominent in the family."
"When it happens, you can have some fun."
Say this to him.
Although Mrs. Lu Guo was still doubtful.
But he didn't say anything more.
The day before the gathering, someone was sent to pick up my niece Sun Tingfang.
Sun Tingfang's father is Mrs. Lu Guo's half-brother.
The Sun family has been in business for generations, and although it is not considered an aristocratic family, it is still a wealthy family.
When Cheng Yaojin was in despair, the Sun family often gave him money to build relationships.
After Cheng Yaojin became rich, the Sun family became as low-key as a little transparent.
This may be the difference between the Sun family and other aristocratic families.
If an ordinary family had such a promising son-in-law, not only would he come over quickly to curry favor with him, but he would also have to come over from time to time to greet him.
But after Cheng Yaojin developed, not only the fawning, but also the interactions between the Sun family became much less frequent.
Only Mrs. Lu Guo asked someone to take Sun Tingfang over to live with her for a while during her free time.
When you are poor, I will help you tide over the difficulties and make a comeback.
When you are rich, I retreat behind the scenes and watch you resplendent.
If a man could get such a wife, he would laugh out of his dreams.
When Sun Tingfang came to Lu Guogong's mansion.
It's almost evening.
Mrs. Lu Guo had been waiting at the door for a long time.
With the help of the maid, Sun Tingfang slowly got out of the carriage.
When the girl was twelve or thirteen years old, she became very graceful.
She doesn't look as rough as she imagined, similar to Cheng Huailiang.
Nor is she as beautiful and holy as Lu Wanjie.
Her beauty lies more in her temperament.
With every frown and smile, you can feel the unique gentle and waxy temperament.
That temperament is like a cold jade pendant held in the hand.
It makes people feel cold and comfortable and reluctant to let go.
First, he approached Cheng Huailiang and said something to his cousin. > Then he walked up to Mrs. Lu Guo, she bowed and saluted and said: "Aunt!"
"Eh."
Mrs. Lu Guo smiled like a flower and quickly took her hand and led her into the house.
At this time, Cheng Huailiang said: "Mother, if nothing happens, I will go back to Your Highness first."
"This will save Your Highness from finding me if something happens."
"good."
Mrs. Lu Guo nodded and said, "Come back early tonight, and Mom will prepare delicious food for you."
Although she was speaking to Cheng Hualiang.
But his hand kept rubbing the back of Sun Tingfang's hand.
From this, it is not difficult to see her love for Sun Tingfang.
Judging from her appearance, she probably regarded her as her own daughter.
After hearing his mother's words, Cheng Huailiang saluted and then hurried to Prince Qin's Mansion.
I heard him say that his cousin has arrived.
Li Chengqian chuckled and said, "In that case, the plan begins now."
Following his order.
Cheng Huailiang and Changsun Chong also hurriedly took action.
This time, Li Chengqian was determined to plot against Li Chongyi.
Since they are marrying a wife, is there any difference between the Cui family and the Sun family?
Besides, Miss Sun is not necessarily worse than Miss Cui.
In Li Chengqian's mind, Li Chongyi still took advantage.
At night, the three little ones sneaked into Duke Lu's mansion.
The place where the carriages are kept in Duke Lu's Mansion.
Li Chengqian took out a small bottle from his pocket and handed it to Cheng Hualiang.
"Put this thing on the footstool."
Cheng Huailiang did not hesitate and hurriedly followed the instructions.
When the liquid in the bottle was poured onto the step chair, a puff of white smoke suddenly emitted from the step chair.
And the smell, not to mention how unpleasant it is.
Cheng Huailiang hurriedly covered his mouth and nose and asked: "Your Highness, what is this..."
"A good thing that can help my aunt turn over."
Cheng Huailiang and Changsun Chong both looked towards Li Chengqian.
The corners of Li Chengqian's lips raised high: "You two, just watch."
