Luo Ran had just seen off Mrs. Meng when he saw a maid from Duke Jingguo's palace coming. She could recognize that this maid had fought with Chunyu in her previous life, so she was deeply impressed by her.
Seeing her, Luo Ran remembered Chun Yu's disfigured face.
Seeing the young lady staring at him, Chunyu touched her face unconsciously and said, "Miss, is there anything on my face?"
Luo Ran shook his head and suddenly said: "Chun Yu, protect your face, don't let others get hurt this time."
Although Chun Yu was a little confused, she knew that the young lady must be doing it for her own good, so she nodded seriously: "Don't worry, young lady, I will not only protect my own face, but I will also protect yours."
Luo Ran smiled.
"Slave, please see Miss Luo. Is Second Miss here?"
Luo Ran raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xing'er beside her. If you weren't here, would you ask her personal maid to pick you up?
However, she didn't want to argue with a maid, so she turned around and left, when the maid suddenly said: "Miss Luo, our lady said that if you promise not to associate with Princess Anzhen, she can invite you to come for a few days. Peach Blossom Banquet. You may not know yet, but the peach blossoms in our Duke of Jingguo’s Mansion are the best in the entire capital.”
She really couldn't avoid the peach blossoms in Duke Jingguo's mansion.
Luo Ran lowered his eyes and said calmly: "That's a pity, I don't have such good eyesight. Also, go back and tell your ladies, if you have the time to host a banquet, don't forget to discipline the servants who don't know the rules! I'm the one to talk today, so change Others, you may not be able to go back unharmed."
After saying that, he turned and left without looking at the little maid's pale face.
But before she could enter the courtyard with Chunyu, another little maid came running out of breath: "Miss, Qing, someone from Prince Qing's palace is here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a nun in her thirties with a woman's hair came over with a smile and saluted: "I would like to say hello to the eldest lady. I have been ordered by Princess Anzhen to deliver a message to Miss Luo. , the princess invites you to go for an outing in the western suburbs in a few days, and she will pick you up then."
Luo Ran was stunned and didn't understand what kind of medicine Lu Yuanyuan was selling in the gourd. She had already agreed at the Yongding Marquis Mansion that she would post a message for everyone, but why did it change now.
Mammy seemed to see her doubts, and said with a calm smile: "The princess said that you are very close, and anyone can post it. She is just afraid of inconvenience to Miss Luo, so she will make her own decision this time. Wait. Next time, I will definitely wait for Miss Luo’s post.”
After saying that, grandma deliberately glanced to the west.
Luo Ran understood instantly, accepted the post with a smile, and left his nanny to come in for tea. She declined because she had something to do, so Luo Ran ordered You Qing to deliver it and prepared a heavy purse.
Back in the house, Chunyu looked at the post with some confusion: "Miss, what were you laughing at just now?"
Luo Ran shook his head helplessly, understanding that Lu Yuanyuan was competing with Fu Mingzhu: You hold a peach blossom banquet, and I'll invite everyone for an outing.
As for this post, Luo Ran was really grateful.
She has also been thinking about this matter in the past two days. If she comes forward to invite, she will inevitably bring several sisters from the mansion and Li Xinyue's sisters. If you don't bring it, there will be trouble again.
It's fine now. The princess only gave her one post, and she was looking for excuses.
But on the appointed day, after Luo Ran had packed up and came out, he saw a huge crowd of people standing in front of the mansion.
Li Xinyue saw her coming out and hurriedly came over to hold her arm and said: "Cousin, why are you so slow? We are all waiting for you!"
Seeing her confused look, Luo Ruxue on the side took a step forward with a smile and said, "I forgot to tell my eldest sister. Mingzhu said that the peach blossoms in the western suburbs are blooming well, so we changed the location. As for my cousin, My cousin agreed before, it just happened to be on my way."
Li Xinyue echoed: "Yes, the eldest brother said that he has been in the capital for so long and hasn't taken us out for a walk. Seeing that my cousin is busy and not easy to disturb, I didn't expect to get together today."
Luo Ran withdrew his hand and said distantly: "Then I won't disturb my cousin and cousins."
It happened that the carriage from Prince Qing's Mansion also came over. Luo Ran nodded slightly to everyone and then got into the carriage with the help of Youqing.
As soon as he got on the carriage, Lu Yuanyuan came over, took a look outside, and said proudly: "So, I'm the smarter, right?"
Luo Ran nodded and asked, "Where are cousin and sister Wan?"
Lu Yuanyuan said: "Sister Qing has gone to pick up sister Wan. Let's meet outside the city."
Perhaps because of the good weather, many people went out of the city today.
When Luo Ran and his carriage arrived, there was already a long queue at the door.
"Miss, there are a lot of people in front of us. It may take a while before we can get to you. Would you like some tea?"
Youqing glanced through the gap in the car curtain and said.
Just as Luo Ran was about to nod, he saw Lu Yuanyuan lifting the curtain of the carriage and waving vigorously in one direction: "Brother Jin'an! I'm here!"
When his hand shook, the tea cup he had just picked up almost fell over. Before he could put down the curtain, the man had already rushed over.
Lu Yuanyuan didn't see Luo Ran's expression and was still chuckling: "It's good this time, we don't have to queue up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Jinan had already arrived at the carriage. He saw a figure inside through the gap in the curtain. His eyes darkened and he asked Lu Yuanyuan, "What are you going to do?"
Lu Yuanyuan raised her bright little face and said with a smile: "Brother Jin'an, I made an appointment with Sister Ran, Sister Wan and Sister Qing today to go for an outing in Xishan Mountain. But there are too many people now, can you help us? Sister Wan They've probably gone out."
Fu Jinan seemed to have just returned from a business trip outside Beijing. He was dressed in a vermilion brocade Wei Feiyu suit, which made his already stern and sculptured face even more handsome. The copper girdle and python pattern leather belt gave a clear view of his strong waist.
He remembered the news from Changying's investigation, glanced at the figure hiding in the corner of the carriage, and smiled: "Okay."
"Thank you, brother Jin'an!"
Lu Yuanyuan thanked her happily, and at the same time glanced provocatively at the two carriages following them, and said loudly and deliberately: "Brother Jin'an, let's leave quickly, don't delay others!"
Fu Jinan turned the horse's head and said, "Follow me."
So Luo Ruxue, Li Xinyue and others watched with their own eyes Princess Anzhen's carriage, accompanied by the commander, leaving the city unimpeded, and they could only line up resignedly.

At the same time, Mrs. Fang also entered the palace early in the morning. When she arrived at Zhaoyang Palace, she couldn't wait to say to Concubine Liu: "My queen, please think of a solution quickly. That beast won't agree to this marriage even if he doesn't even agree with the Duke of the country." Dare to threaten."
Concubine Liu opened her eyelids and glanced at her indifferently, and said displeasedly: "You can't even do this, and you still expect the emperor to reuse the Jingguo Palace? You can mess up any marriage you get, you Tell me, what else can I expect from you!"
Mrs. Fang looked embarrassed and whispered: "It's all the fault of that little bitch from the Luo family for seducing Shiheng, otherwise..."
Concubine Liu waved her hands irritably: "Okay, it's not like he is useless. He can be caught playing with any woman. If Zhou'er wasn't still young enough to talk about marriage, do you think you would get Fu's turn? Home?"
