Seeing that her princess was just sighing, Zhuxuan hinted again without giving up: "I didn't expect that the prince would single-handedly choose this plum blossom hairpin to give to the princess."
"Indeed, maybe it just matches the dress I designed this time, right? It's just too expensive. I will have to reciprocate the gift in the future, otherwise I will feel bad about it." Xia Luotong had already begun to worry, "I just don't know how to send it. What's so good? This hairpin is so valuable, where can I find a similar item?"
Seeing that her princess didn't think in this direction at all, Zhuxuan was speechless at this time. The princess was obviously such a smart person, so why couldn't she see this clearly?
However, after a pause, she still came up with an idea: "Not to mention the value of such objects, it is extremely difficult to find them. How about the princess choose a meaningful object to give to the prince? I heard that it is The prince does not value money and other external things very much, and according to my slave, as long as it is an object given by the princess, the prince will definitely like it."
"Yes, he is so rich, he probably doesn't care about the value of money at all." Xia Luotong nodded in agreement, and then said, "Okay! Then I will think about giving him something meaningful!"
She felt that she still had to think about it carefully before making a decision. As for what Zhuxuan said, Wu Zechen would like it as long as it was a gift from her, but she didn't think so.
Although the relationship between the two has become better recently, and he seems to be caring and pampering towards her, she will not become so swollen that she gets carried away.
Zhuxuan looked at her princess's expression and sighed helplessly. Suddenly she started to worry about her princess's life-long events. With her princess being so slow, she couldn't be ignorant for the rest of her life, right? What to do?
On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Princess Xu of Prince An's Palace held a plum blossom appreciation banquet in the west courtyard of the Prince's Palace. She invited many well-known families in the capital, including many unmarried young ladies. Everyone understood it and as long as there were Empty, one after another accepted the invitation.
There are many such banquets in Beijing, ranging in size from large to small. One of the most important purposes is to give everyone an opportunity to get to know each other and to allow the ladies to find partners for their children.
Concubine Xu Side has a son and a daughter, and now they have reached the age of marriage, so the purpose of this banquet is obvious. Many families in the capital, regardless of whether they have the idea of getting married to Concubine Xu Side, have chosen to come. After all, there are many young ladies from other families present at the banquet, so they can look at each other more.
However, this banquet is not exactly the same as those previous blind date banquets, because there is currently another very popular Princess An in Prince An's palace, who has been rumored for several months.
There are many people who are curious about Princess An, and even more people want to find out. Usually they don’t have the chance to meet her, and all the invitations sent by various families have been rejected, so they want to see her with their own eyes. Princess An herself had to come to attend the plum blossom appreciation banquet held by Dowager Xu Cong. After all, it was a banquet held in her own Prince An's palace. It was hard for Princess An not to show up, right?
Therefore, more people chose to attend the banquet. People with various thoughts gathered in the west courtyard of Prince An's Mansion on this day. The street in front of the Prince's Mansion became more and more lively, with all kinds of luxurious carriages filling the street. , quite spectacular.
However, unlike the lively scene in the west courtyard, the main courtyard in the east is as quiet as ever, and Shaoguang Pavilion is not affected at all, except for the room where Xia Luotong is...
"The banquet is about to begin, why hasn't the prince come back yet?" Zhuxuan looked out of the room anxiously, with doubts on her face.
Judging from her observations during this period, the prince is obviously very concerned about his princess. He even said a few days ago that he would accompany the princess to the banquet. How come he hasn't returned to the palace yet?
Not only Zhuxuan, but also Mu Jinyu, who was guarding Xia Luotong's room, also frowned, sometimes looking in the direction of the door, sometimes secretly observing Xia Luotong's expression.
But he was already muttering in his heart, his junior brother is obviously a person who keeps his promises, how could something go wrong at this time? The image that had been restored with great difficulty, the junior sister also began to slowly change, but she couldn't get into trouble at this time!
However, compared to the two of them, Xia Luotong was very comfortable, sipping tea alone, and looking at their anxious looks, he couldn't help but laugh: "You are obviously accompanying me to the banquet, why are you all so nervous? Wouldn’t it be the same if I went by myself?”
"How can it be the same!" Mu Jinyu blurted out, and then couldn't help but add, "Wait a minute, junior brother is the one who makes the most promises. Since he said he would accompany you to the banquet, then I will definitely do it. Maybe I have been delayed by something right now, but I will definitely be back soon."
Xia Luotong didn't think so: "I heard Lian Ye mention a few words before that the prince has other important matters today..."
Just as he was talking, Lindong, who was sent out to inquire about the news, happened to come back. When he saw everyone looking at him, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and report helplessly: "I went to inquire about it. The prince was caught up in something. Maybe he won't be able to come back soon." .”
After serving the princess for so many days, Lindong already knew the prince's thoughts about the princess, so when she reported this matter, she was very conflicted in her heart.
"I'm just saying, he has something to do. It doesn't matter. I can just take Lindong to the West Courtyard. Besides, that's what I originally planned." Xia Luotong raised a smile to appease everyone, not paying attention to the feeling in his heart. Wiping away the slightest hint of disappointment, "You don't have to worry so much, right? It's not like you don't know what I'm capable of. Are you still worried that I will be bullied by those people?"
"Of course we believe in your ability. Aren't we worried that you will be wronged? Sometimes the words of those women are even more disgusting." Mu Jinyu's heart was full of helplessness. She didn't expect that something like this would happen today. In this situation, I am afraid that the goodwill my junior brother has finally gained will fall again.
Why did this happen today? He knew that although what his junior brother had to do today was important, there wouldn't be any surprises, right? What went wrong?
"If we talk about words, I may not lose to them." Xia Luotong winked with a smile, "After all, they are so proud, but I don't care about this. If they are really not afraid of death, then we will see who is more embarrassed. alright."
Wu Zechen had no time to rush back, so Xia Luotong rested for a while. Seeing that the time for the banquet was approaching, Shi Shiran took Lindong to the west courtyard.
