It was too slow to wait and see, so the next day Zhou Yunshu took Wu Gui, Chunque and Du Mazi to the Yang Mansion.
In other words, the princess's mansion.
Because it only took one night to change the original gold plaque on the Yang Mansion door.
For unknown reasons, the guests all speculated whether something big happened in the Yang Mansion. Zhou Yunshu, who knew the inside story, just smiled and calmly walked into the Princess Mansion with Wu Gui.
Today, Butler Yang was still waiting for guests. When Wu Gui saw Butler Yang, he asked proactively, "I wonder if Wen He has returned home?"
Butler Yang said politely: "The young master has returned home, but he is currently busy celebrating the princess's birthday and may not have time to see you."
Butler Yang's words are full of contradictions. It's possible that birthday greetings will delay the reception of guests.
Today is the birthday of Princess Yuyang. As the children of Princess Yuyang, Yang Yuhao and Yang Xinyue should come out to receive the male and female guests.
"It doesn't matter, just know I'm coming." Wu Gui followed Butler Yang's words without questioning.
Wu Gui's face was normal, but in her heart she was surprised by Zhou Yunshu's understanding of the Princess's Mansion.
She had been worried when she came today, worried that her fake identity would be exposed on the spot, but who knew that if Zhou Yunshu said that Yang Yuhao could not see them, he would really not see them.
Wu Gui handed the neatly wrapped book to Butler Yang, "This is the book Wen He lent me. Please pass it on to me."
Butler Yang took it in his hand solemnly and said to Wu Gui: "Master Wang, please come this way. The place has been prepared for you and your wife."
Wu Gui nodded with a smile, and walked toward the banquet with Zhou Yunshu, who had been holding her arm and saying nothing.
On the way, Wu Gui asked in a low voice: "How can we inquire?"
Zhou Yunshu smiled and said: "Don't worry, there is a way."
No matter what, today is the birthday of Princess Yuyang, and she will not really let Yang Yuhao out.
Yang Bingtian was treated to such a miserable state that he probably couldn't even get out of bed. If Yang Yuhao and Yang Xinyue didn't show up again, rumors about the Princess's Mansion would be everywhere.
The princess's birthday banquet was very grand. In order to hold this birthday banquet, Yang Bingtian specially had a lake dug in the mansion, and a circle of heating pavilions was built along the lake. There was even an island in the middle of the lake.
The island in the center of the lake was built to look like a stage. When Zhou Yunshu and the four of them were introduced to the Nuan Pavilion, there was a troupe playing on the island in the center of the lake, and the actor in the center of the stage was wearing a rose-red water-sleeved opera costume and was singing with sincerity. chant.
Zhou Yunshu only listened once and realized that the person was not Liu Fuyi.
Zhou Yunshu went to the female guest's side, while Wu Gui was led to the male guest's side. Coincidentally, there happened to be a family named Zhang in the family table where Zhou Yunshu was sitting.
Initially, Zhou Yunshu didn't know who this family was, but later she heard that their steward was killed by the Red Lotus Sect's people after they entered the territory of Wolong Mountain. Only then did Zhou Yunshu remember the unlucky guy who had been killed by a mad dog to scare the monkeys.
"Mrs. Zhang is here to apologize to the princess!"
A woman with a plump appearance but squinty eyes smiled at a young woman wearing a crescent-shaped phoenix tail skirt next to her: "Who doesn't know that Our Lady of the Red Lotus and the princess are sisters? Mother Lotus’s face, isn’t this a slap in the face of the princess!”
The two families were rivals, and even though the steward was dead, she would not miss the dirty water that should be thrown at her.
The young woman had a polite smile on her face and said, "What is the identity of the princess, and what is the identity of Mrs. Qi."
"The reason why the princess said this is because the princess is kind. Is it possible that Mrs. Zhao Er really feels that the Red Lotus Virgin and the princess are as good as each other?"
Zhou Yunshu was eating the cloud cake in front of her, listening to the two women opposite each other bickering, going back and forth, refusing to give in to each other.
"Mrs. Wang."
Zhou Yunshu was a little tired of eating pastries. As soon as she picked up a candied green plum, she heard someone next to her call Mrs. Wang.
Zhou Yunshu raised her head, looked at the little maid standing beside her, and said with a smile: "You called me?"
"Yes, Mrs. Wang, our cousin would like you to take a seat."
Zhou Yunshu put down the plums, picked up her handkerchief and wiped her fingers clean carefully, then stood up with a smile and said, "Okay."
The place Du Huairou invited Zhou Yunshu to was in the largest thermal pavilion in the middle of the lake. There were a total of five tables in it.
When Zhou Yunshu went there, only the last two tables in Nuan Pavilion were occupied, one with male guests and the other with female guests.
When Du Huairou saw Zhou Yunshu come in, he personally led her to the women's table and said, "Madam, please sit here."
Zhou Yunshu glanced at the three empty tables. Du Huairou immediately understood what she meant. He held her shoulders with both hands and said with a smile, "I'll let you watch the fun later."
Zhou Yunshu didn't know why. Although Du Huairou looked very normal now, she still noticed a hint of madness in her gentle tone, which made her feel like the first time the two met in a ruined temple.
"good."
Before Du Huairou left, Zhou Yunshu handed a candied fruit to her, "This one is sweet."
Du Huairou was stunned for a moment, then bent down and took the candied fruit on Zhou Yunshu's fingertips into his mouth, "Thank you, madam."
After Du Huairou left, the other female relatives at the table saw that Zhou Yunshu was so close to the princess's niece, and they couldn't help but be curious about the relationship between the two of them.
"I am Lu Chengshuang, the fourth lady of the Lu family of the Luzhou Transport Department. My father is the Lu Transport Commissioner of Luzhou. I wonder which family this lady is from?"
Sitting on Zhou Yunshu's right, an oval-faced woman wearing a gold brocade dress looked at her curiously and asked.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Lu Chengshuang, who was dressed low-key but not hiding his luxury, and said with a smile: "My husband's surname is Wang, and he has no fame for the time being."
"That's it." Lu Cheng's eyes flashed with confusion, "I thought you were Miss Du Er's friend."
"So be it."
Lu Chengshuang nodded and didn't ask further. After all, just looking at the material of Zhou Yunshu's clothes, she didn't look like she came from a wealthy family.
After no one spoke, Zhou Yunshu sat down to eat and drink by herself. Only she and a girl in her early ten years were eating at the whole table.
It didn't matter that the girl had a snack at her age, but Zhou Yunshu was eating like no one else, which attracted the attention of other people on the table.
When they looked over, Zhou Yunshu said openly: "I am pregnant and I don't go hungry, which makes the ladies laugh."
"That's what pregnancy is like."
"Looking at how thin you are, it doesn't look like you're pregnant, right?"
Zhou Yunshu did not expect that her statement that she was pregnant would open up the conversation among the ladies present.
"I wear a lot of clothes, and maybe it's because of my physical condition that I don't show off my clothes that much."
The man next to me looked at the lady who was about forty years old and nodded: "That's right. When I was pregnant with Yan'er, my belly wasn't even visible even after I was about to give birth. It was just because of my physical condition."
Someone said with a smile: "It seems that this lady is also pregnant with a daughter."
The people around him shut up when they heard the bad intentions in this man's mouth, but Zhou Yunshu didn't care at all and said: "Children are blessings."
"Having too many daughters is not a blessing." The man said, looking around, and continued: "The eldest lady of the Yang family has been married for many years, and she only has three daughters now."
"Luckily she is the daughter of the princess, otherwise... tsk tsk..."
A woman with a pointed face covered her mouth with one hand and said with a smile: "This is not easy. I heard that the Red Lotus Virgin who has made friends with the princess will bless her to have a child. When the time comes, Miss Yang will go to the Red Lotus Sect. Once you give it away, you can get it within three days guaranteed..."
"Okay, these words are not what we should discuss!"
The woman who had previously agreed with Zhou Yunshu about not showing her pregnancy during her pregnancy stopped her coldly.
