"This invitation must be handed over to Marquis Lu personally."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Deputy General Manager Xie Wuran handed over the guest lists for the princes' weddings to the Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty, "Sir, please take a look and see if there are any adjustments made by the Third Highness."
The Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty felt a little headache after just a cursory glance, but for no other reason, everyone at the Prince's place was naturally very enthusiastic. Fifty banquets of wine might not be able to be spread out, and there would probably be no seats for the humble officials, so being able to send a congratulatory gift would be a blessing. 2.
There are a lot of people in the prince's house. The Lan family is a big family. The Lan Gong Mansion and the Lan Hou Mansion combined have a lot of people. In addition, the second prince's mother's family, the Lin family, although not as good as the Lu Gong Mansion, is still a prominent family in the imperial capital, and there are some other neutral families.
Officials, the second prince must have a full table of wine for thirty banquets here.
Next is the wedding banquet for the Third Prince Mu Anzhi. The Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is Marquis Lu going to Yu'an Palace?"
"yes."
The Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty said, "I have never heard that Marquis Lu was close to His Highness the Third Highness in the past. Could it be that I heard wrong?" Although Marquis Lu and Duke Lu's mansion have been divided into clans, His Highness the Third Highness has not really learned how to manage politics, let alone Marquis Lu.
He has been far away in northern Xinjiang. If Marquis Lu went to the prince's place to have a drink, everyone would be surprised. Now he is going to Yu'an Palace. He is as steady as the Tang Dynasty Prince Consort and almost loses his eyes. You know, His Highness's dislike of the Lu family is public.
It is a secret, and the possibility that the Marquis Lu in northern Xinjiang has a personal relationship with His Highness the Third Highness, who has been raised in the palace, is also very slim.
"I have confirmed again and again that Marquis Lu is indeed going to Yu'an Palace." Xie Wuran showed a somewhat mysterious smile, "I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince personally wrote an invitation to invite Marquis Lu to a wedding banquet, and Marquis Lu agreed first.
Rejected due to the third prince’s post.”
"The third prince's concubine?" This is even more strange. The third prince's concubine used to be a village girl. If the Xu family hadn't picked her up to come to the imperial capital, she probably wouldn't have known where the gate of the imperial capital opened. What kind of relationship could she have in the imperial capital?
?Let alone having friendship with Marquis Lu.
"Yeah, no one can figure this out. Not to mention the third prince's concubine, even the third prince's concubine and his father, Xu Shilang, don't have such a great reputation." Xie Wuran clicked his tongue and sighed, "There are more and more strange things.
.”
"Your Majesty, there are too few guests here." The Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty said, "Ask some courtiers to come to Yu'an Palace."
"This is not an easy matter. On the one hand, whether the courtiers are willing to go, and on the other hand, His Highness' temperament. If something makes him unhappy, it's hard to say whether it will happen."
What Xie Wuran said was the truth. Neither His Highness nor the civil and military leaders of the court were willing to deal with him. If Shangguan was made to think that he had a personal relationship with the third prince, wouldn't his future be ruined?
Moreover, the more sesame and petty an official is, the easier it is for him to think about other things.
Then there was the temperament of His Highness Mu Anzhi, which no one dared to guarantee. The Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty simply arranged the guests first, and then asked Empress Dowager Lan to make the decision.
Ci En Palace.
Queen Mother Lan first looked at the dowries of each prince's concubine, and each list was clearly listed. In fact, the thickness of the dowry list can be determined by pinching it, and Queen Mother Lan knew it well. She then looked through the guest list of each prince's wedding, and she was also a little surprised.
Hou's name was actually on the guest list of Yu'an Palace.
Queen Mother Lan asked, "Who arranged for Marquis Lu to stay in Yu'an Palace?"
"It wasn't arranged by anyone, it was invited by the third prince's concubine through the post."
Empress Dowager Lan was greatly surprised. Upon seeing this, the Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty smiled and said, "It is indeed the third prince's concubine's post. After receiving the third prince's concubine's post, Lu Hou will naturally go to Yu'an Palace."
Empress Dowager Lan gently placed the guest list in her hand and nodded approvingly, "I think this list is very good." Those minor officials who were just filling up the numbers were irrelevant. Li Yuhua could send a message to invite Marquis Lu to Yu'an Palace.
Not to mention that the dowry is not rich, even if there is no dowry at all, Queen Mother Lan does not mind it at all.
When Mu Anzhi found out about Li Yuhua's invitation to Marquis Lu, he went to Li Yuhua to ask about it.
Li Yuhua was listening to the two nuns from the Department of Internal Affairs explaining the etiquette on the wedding day. When he saw Mu Anzhi arriving, he smiled and said, "Why is the third brother here now?" The dowry will be carried into the palace tomorrow, and the official wedding will be the day after tomorrow.
.
"I'm afraid you'll be bored at home, so I'll take you out for a walk."
The two nuns couldn't laugh or cry. Aunt Sun held up the tea in a funny voice, "My son is getting married soon. Why can't His Highness wait for these two days?"
"Isn't that the next thing?" Mu Anzhi took the tea without drinking it. He took the process sheet in Li Yuhua's hand and glanced at it. "There is nothing interesting about these processes. There will be a grandma from the Shangyi Department here."
I’m reminding you. I’m wondering if there’s anything interesting in the house, let’s go out for a walk.”
Grandma Sun said, "Your Highness, just sit in the room and don't go out."
"I don't like to sit in Xu's house." Mu Anzhi said it so bluntly that he didn't even bother to say anything. Aunt Sun stopped trying to persuade him and gave Li Yuhua a brief review before taking Yunyan and going out with Mu Anzhi.
.
Mu Anzhi likes to be at home, even in the car or on the street... What's more, he has a place to stay in the city.
The quiet little courtyard is the same as before, but as the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the leaves of the sycamore trees become more and more green, and the green shade under the trees has a hint of the autumn sun. Xiao Yi accompanied him with snacks, and Grandma Sun Yunyan packed the snacks.
After the plate was served, Mu Anzhi made the tea himself without bothering anyone else, and they went to have a rest.
When Mu Anzhi asked about inviting Marquis Lu, Li Yuhua bit into the buttered snail and said, "Didn't we talk about it in detail that day? Marquis Lu asked Marquis Yong'an, and it's a bit strange to ask Mrs. Yongan Marquis to be a blessing person for me. You
Look, since he is separated from the Lu family and has no contact with the Xu family, he suddenly helps me. This is friendship. People care about us so much. On our big day, of course we have to post a post and invite them to have a wedding drink."
"that's all?"
"What can I do? I'm just trying to invite you." Li Yuhua was extremely frank and asked with crooked eyebrows, "The Luhou Mansion said 'will come' to us. I haven't told you about this yet, how do you know?"
of?"
"Where the ministers will go to have a drink, the palace must make calculations in advance, otherwise everything will be messed up." Mu Anzhi looked at Li Yuhua strangely, "You really have the face to invite Marquis Lu."
"I didn't expect that Marquis Lu would really come, so I tried to invite him. Who knew that Marquis Lu was really easy-going?" Li Yuhua said, "When the time comes, you can offer Marquis Lu a glass of wine as a toast on my behalf."
"Did you hear that?"
"I'm not deaf."
"If you didn't reply to me, I would have thought you suddenly went deaf." Li Yuhua asked, "Will Academician Tang be here?"
"Yes."
"Hey, it's a pity that Sister Muxiang is far away in northern Xinjiang. I gave her a very heavy gift when she got married. She doesn't know when we get married, and I don't know if she can take back this gift." Li Yuhua picked up the second one sadly.
Soaking snails in butter, he asked Mu Anzhi shrewdly, "Did you also send a congratulatory gift to Pei Zhuangyuan's wedding?"
"Of course I gave it away."
"What did you give me?"
"Two sides of ancient ink."
Li Yuhua counted on his fingers, "We can't take this back. We've lost a lot over time."
"Yuhua." Mu Anzhi coughed, "We are friends, and you and Miss Bai are still sisters. The gifts mainly represent our respective feelings. How can we calculate it based on the amount of money?"
"Yes, yes." Li Yuhua immediately put away his greedy face and said, "Look, Sister Muxiang and I are good sisters, and you and Pei Zhuangyuan are good friends. They don't know about our marriage.
I can’t congratulate them either, I feel sorry for them both.”
There was a smile in Mu Anzhi's eyes, and he handed her the tea, "I haven't drank water for a long time, so drink some water to moisten it."
Li Yuhua's hands were stained with the pastry residue of butter-soaked snails, and she raised her chin to signal to Mu Anzhi. Mu Anzhi had no choice but to lift the lid of the tea cup and pass it to her mouth. Li Yuhua took two sips of tea and asked Mu Anzhi, "Third brother, I'll give it to you."
Do you still have your purse with you?"
"Take it with you." Mu Anzhi took it out from his arms and showed it to Li Yuhua.
Li Yuhua felt very sweet and fed Mu Anzhi a piece of cake, "I will always wear the bead necklace you gave me."
Old Mrs. Xu heard that Yunque had reported that His Highness the Third Highness was taking the girl out, so she had no choice but to ask Yunque to back off. The Xu family was in a bad situation and could not afford to offend the Third Highness. They were getting married soon anyway, so just let them be.
Ci En Palace.
Empress Dowager Lan originally wanted to call Mu Anzhi over for dinner that night, but Zhou Shao personally went to Yu'an Palace and came back to report, "It is said that the Third Prince went out early in the morning and asked for two boxes of snacks from Shou Shanfang.
We have an appointment to see Miss Xu."
Queen Mother Lan rubbed her forehead and said, "It's a busy day, why are you going out now?"
Emperor Mu Xuan said, "I have always heard from my mother that An Zhi is in love with the eldest daughter of the Xu family, which shows that they are really in love."
"She is indeed an excellent girl," Empress Dowager Lan did not hesitate to praise. "She is very sensible and knows how to be filial to her elders. Although she has some shortcomings in growing up in the country, as long as this person has a good heart, everything else can make up for it." Grandma Sun said
, as long as they are taught the rules, they also love to read. I said that even if you search one by one, you may not find such a lovely girl. Ah Shen and Miss Xu are also very good-tempered, and our Ah Shen is blessed with a wife.
"
"That's good. But don't ask him to go. As the mother said, the next one will have a big wedding. Tomorrow, the prince and concubine's family will bring the dowry to the palace. He has to make preparations there. He will go out to find it all day long.
This girl is not very handsome." Emperor Mu Xuan said.
"Isn't he okay?" Queen Mother Lan said, "When you get married, you will become an adult. The first man and the second man have errands. What are your plans here, Ashen?"
"Let him go to the Hanlin Academy to study and cultivate his character."
Empress Dowager Lan didn't argue with this and said with a smile, "Tell him then to be gentler and not be so tough all the time."
"Do I want to make peace with him?" Emperor Mu Xuan frowned, "Queen Mother, you are too spoiled for children."
"Isn't it? You are the temperament I am accustomed to."
Emperor Mu Xuan smiled apologetically and held up the tea, "It's the mother's habit to talk hastily, so the mother must be more tolerant of her son."
On the day when the dowry was carried out, the Xu family was already decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations and was very lively. Li Yuhua watched the dowry tied with red silk being carried out of the house, and took the time to go through the wedding process the next day.
That night, Mrs. Xu told her some things about her duties as a woman, and Li Yuhua went back to the small courtyard to rest. Because she had to get up early the next day, she went to bed earlier than usual.
Lying in the bed with a red curtain, Li Yuhua rarely suffered from insomnia. The quilt under her body was soft and comfortable, but she suddenly thought of the earthen bed in her hometown, which was a bit hard to sleep on, and her mother. Her mother knew that she was going to marry underground.
His Highness, the Third Highness, will definitely be happy for her.
Li Yuhua has made a plan. After marrying His Highness the Third Highness, he will give birth to three fat boys in the first three years. As the old saying goes, only when you have a son can you stand on your feet! After you stand on your feet, you will have two beautiful little girls, and you will have both children.
These are the good days.
Li Yuhua turned over and took out the bead necklace given to her by the third prince under the dim light of the dark night, groping for it and tying it around her neck.
Tomorrow, she will finally have her own home.
