At Zhouhou Mansion, Xuehan didn't bring the child back, and Zhulan didn't see Linxi. "Did Linxi also attend the flower banquet at Shangguan Mansion?"
Xue Han shook her head, "No, Lin Xi was taken to the palace early in the morning. The little princess missed her sister."
Zhulan: "Isn't there still a princess?"
"The eldest princess rarely sees the younger princess. They are not close sisters. Linxi always goes to the palace, so the younger princess sticks to Linxi more."
Zhulan didn't want to talk more, "Why are you here today?"
"I'll come and deliver the invitation to my parents in person."
Zhulan had noticed the post a long time ago. She was still confused, so she took it and saw that it was a post from Ning Hou Mansion, "Ning Hou is going to take Xia Er back to the mansion?"
Xue Han was reluctant to leave, "Well, we'll set a date. Ning Hou Mansion will host a banquet, and we'll invite Dad and Mom to come over for a drink."
Zhulan looked at her daughter carefully and was relieved to see that she looked normal. "Have you discussed Xiaer's arrangements?"
"I will return to the palace on the 5th to stay for two days. Xiaer agreed."
The father and the emperor kept complaining about the youngest son's precocity, as it was a pity that the youngest son was in poor health but extremely smart.
Xue Han said again: "Mom, there are several good female doctors in the Royal Orphanage. Do you want them?"
Zhu Lan glared, "You've graduated?"
"No, those who can serve are the older ones, and they have good talent, so they continue to study while serving. These ten female doctors are very popular. My daughter got the news first. If you want me to send one back."
Zhu Lan sneered, "The remaining female doctors who can't serve are also being missed by others."
Xue Han, "Well, it's the autumn harvest season again. There are more weddings, and everyone wants to find a female doctor as a dowry. Female doctors are very popular."
She was from the Prince of Qin's mansion, so if there was any movement in the palace, she would naturally be informed first, so ten were not enough.
Zhulan chuckled and shook her head, "I don't need it."
Xue Han had an idea in mind.
At Shangguan Mansion, Wen Ling tried to hold back, but when she saw Shangguan Jia not paying attention to this side, she still couldn't help but stood up and walked to Zhou Yuwen, "Miss Zhou Wu is not well-known, and few ladies in this garden know you. Today is a rare opportunity. Let us also see Miss Zhou Wu's talent?"
Yuyi, "..."
Wen Ling didn't like Yu Wen very much, so why did he come here to ask for trouble? Wasn't he taught her a lesson enough
Yu Wen had developed a skill when attending the banquet with her mother. She could sleep while sitting. She was covering her face with a fan just now because the whole garden was so boring that she might as well sleep. What was the result!
Yu Wen was unhappy and in a low mood. Seeing that the ladies around her were looking at him, Yu Wen pulled the corners of her mouth and pointed at her face first, "Do I look good?"
Wen Ling was a little confused. Why was he so shameless as to praise her? The ladies around her were also speechless.
Yu Wen smiled and said, "Look, they all remember me now."
The sisters Yudie and Yujiao's shoulders were shaking. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, they would have burst into laughter.
Yu Wen didn't want to continue answering and blocked it with her fan.
Wen Ling was very angry, but she had to endure it. Today was not the day for her to endure it. "Miss Zhou Wu, how about you write poetry with us? Your father loves reading, so it shouldn't be a difficult task for you."
Yu Wen, "No, don't use my father to kidnap me. My father is my father, and I am me."
She wanted to say that you are too ugly to date her, but she couldn’t. It’s okay to say it in private, there are so many girls around!
Shangguan Jia noticed this, her expression didn't change, but she was also afraid of a commotion. On one side was the Queen's mother's family, and on the other side was the Zhou Marquis's Mansion. They stood up and came over, "I asked the maid to change the tea, how about you all take a seat and taste it?"
Wen Ling had to give face to the future Crown Princess, so she had to smile back even though she was unwilling. However, she also took Shangguan Jia's arm intimately, showing her intimacy, "Okay, I will definitely try it. I heard that the Crown Prince sent a lot of good tea."
Shangguan Jia smiled more often but it did not show in her eyes. Shangguan Jia would naturally pay attention to her future husband. The court had a high opinion of the prince and she was always happy to hear it. But she was also very smart and could see whether the prince had her in his eyes or not.
Shangguan Jia nodded to Yuwen, and Yuwen smiled, as if she had discovered something.
The subsequent banquet was uneventful, with only some bickering. There was no real sadness, just a mental blow.
The Zhou sisters left early and took a carriage back home. On the way, they met the carriage from the Prince of Qin's mansion.
Lin Xi just left the palace and signaled the carriage to stop, "Cousin."
Yudie asked, "Didn't the Shangguan Mansion invite you today?"
All the other young ladies from the marquis's mansion have gone, but she has been looking for her cousin!
Lin Xi explained: "I was sent a letter, but unfortunately I can't go to the palace today."
Linxi looked into the carriage and saw cousin Yuwen sleeping on cousin Yuyi's shoulder. She was speechless for a while.
Yudie saw someone else in the carriage because Linxi pulled the curtain so loudly. Then she had a heart attack. It turned out to be the prince. She quickly pretended not to see it and said, "We'll go back first."
"good."
The prince just took a quick glance and was speechless. The fifth young lady of the Zhou family is really unique.
The next morning, during the court session, Zhou Shuren listened to the memorial from the eldest grandson of the Wen family and looked up at the emperor. It was another autumn harvest, and the Wen family had decided to bring the eldest grandson back this year.
The emperor had a blank expression on his face. Wen Jia was very good at finding opportunities. Seeing that all the ministers were looking at him, he curled his lips and said, "If the autumn harvest can really yield the amount of grain written in the memorial, you can return to the capital."
Zhou Shuren thought, how nice it would be to stay outside honestly, and it would also help him to hone his will. Now he is taking advantage of the Queen's poor health and the Emperor's affection for the Queen. Although he has achieved his goal, the Emperor is keeping a record of it. He should be more tolerant now and wait for the Queen to die, haha.
Obviously, Old Master Wen didn't think so. His eldest grandson was the eldest legitimate grandson and had grown a lot in the past two years. He was afraid that he would continue to stay outside to open up wasteland, so he had to bring him back to the capital while his daughter was still alive, and the sooner the better.
Zhou Shuren felt someone was peeking at him and rolled his eyes, but he would not say anything to stop them because the emperor would keep a record of it anyway.
The morning court ended quickly today, and the Wen family got what they wanted. Old Master Wen said, "When my eldest grandson returns to Beijing, I will definitely invite Marquis Zhou to drink. My eldest grandson's growth is all thanks to Marquis Zhou."
Zhou Shuren rolled up his sleeves. Seeing someone standing in front of Old Master Wen, the old man shook his sleeves and said, "Why are you afraid of me? Don't be afraid. I am a civilized man. I will never use my fists if I can use my mouth."
Everyone, "..."
Zhou Shuren extended his hand to Master Wen, "If you really want to thank me, I won't drink either. Just give me some silver. I don't teach easily. Look at the memorial written by Master Wen today. I am amazed. Now that Master Wen is so outstanding, I will give you ten thousand taels."
Everyone was stunned. Shameless, bah, as shameless as ever. How could the memorial be so amazing? It was obvious that it was written by a ghostwriter. No matter how fast he grows, he can't be retrained. When everyone saw that Old Master Wen's face turned green.
Wang Ju shook her head, thinking that Zhou Shuren really had no memory. When had he ever lost an argument, he was always very deceiving with his mouth.
At the Zhou Mansion, Zhulan received a letter from her hometown early in the morning. She frowned after reading it.
