Under Li Chengqian's secret operation.
Li Tingxue sent invitations to all the prominent ladies and nobles in Chang'an City.
Invite them to the gathering in two days.
She is the princess of Hanyang County.
The appeal is naturally huge.
On the day the invitations were sent out, most of them were accepted.
The rest also said that they would discuss it with their mistress when she came back.
If the mistress agrees, she will come.
It's not like they were making excuses, but they really wanted to ask their mistress for instructions.
Although the politics of the Tang Dynasty were liberal, the people's customs were not as conservative as those of later generations.
But even if it is open again, it is only open compared to other dynasties.
How many women who have not yet left the court wander around alone on the streets?
A woman who can roam the streets.
Or the housekeeper who goes to the street to do errands.
Or she is a farmer's wife who goes to the city with her children to do shopping.
Or she is a promiscuous woman waving a handkerchief and calling out "Come and play".
Real ladies and nobles in ancient times had to be accompanied by their mistress if they wanted to go out for fun.
If the mistress doesn't want to go, no matter who invites her, she can't go.
As the main star of Li Chengqian's plan, Mrs. Lu Guo naturally received the invitation.
But, she didn't want to go.
One is that she is now having a headache from Cui.
The second reason is that she comes from a small family and is not interested in writing poems, arranging flowers and other activities.
So he sent someone to send a message to Li Tingxue.
I excused myself from going because my family was busy with affairs and I couldn't get away.
But before the boy could go out, Cheng Hualiang grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.
Seeing this, Mrs. Lu Guo looked puzzled: "Huai Liang, what are you doing?"
"Mom, don't you want to go to the gathering?"
"yes."
Mrs. Lu Guo rolled her eyes at him, straightened her clothes and said, "There are so many things going on in the house, how can I have the time to attend the gathering?"
"No, you must listen to me this time and go ahead no matter what."
"Why?"
"Mom, did you read what was written on the invitation?"
"Of course I did. Isn't it just to invite celebrities and their families to attend the gathering?"
Mrs. Lu Guo looked at Cheng Hualiang with confusion on her face.
"Then why haven't you ever thought about where the ladies and nobles come from in our family?"
Cheng Huailiang rolled his eyes and said, "My sister is only three years old this year. Do you think the princess should let her go?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Lu Guo raised her eyebrows.
Apparently he sensed something was wrong.
Although it is about an elegant gathering of celebrities and their families.
But in fact, many men with good family backgrounds are invited to come.
If the man is not married and the woman is not married, many things will fall into place.
Therefore, the elegant gathering is more like an ancient social gathering.
Cheng Huailiang also knew that his mother was straightforward and did not know about the intrigues.
So I didn't mince words and said directly: "Mom, let me just tell the truth."
"Your Highness knows that my mother is in a bad situation right now, so I want to help my mother to curb the situation in the west room."
Hearing this, Mrs. Lu Guo smiled bitterly.
"You go back and talk to him and express his kindness. I appreciate it."
"But he really can't help with this matter."
Although Li Chengqian was a prince, he was also the professed King of Qin.
But it doesn't mean that he can interfere in the inner court affairs of the minister's family.
"You don't have to worry so much. His Highness has already planned these things."
"Just take my uncle's cousin with you on the day of the gathering."
Seeing Cheng Huailiang's confident look.
Savoring his words.
Mrs. Lu Guo raised her eyebrows and said, "You mean, His Highness has a crush on your cousin?"
"That's not true."
"But His Highness did arrange a good marriage for my cousin."
Cheng Huailiang said with a smile.
Thinking of the niece I watched grow up.
Mrs. Lu Guo couldn't bear it.
"If His Highness is not interested in you, then who is?"
"Have you seen that man?"
"Of course I have."
"That man is one of the most prominent in the family."
"When it happens, you can have some fun."
Say this to him.
Mrs. Lu Guo was doubtful.
But he didn't say anything more.
The day before the gathering, he sent someone to pick up his niece Sun Tingfang.
Sun Tingfang's father is Mrs. Lu Guo's half-brother.
The Sun family has been in business for generations. Although it is not a wealthy family, it is still a wealthy family.
When Cheng Yaojin was down and out, the Sun family often gave him money to build relationships.
After Cheng Yaojin became rich, the Sun family kept a low profile, as if they were transparent.
This may be the difference between the Sun family and other aristocratic families.
If an ordinary aristocratic family had such a promising son-in-law, not only would he come over quickly to curry favor with him, but he would also have to come over to greet him from time to time.
But after Cheng Yaojin developed, not only the fawning, but also the interactions between the Sun family became much less frequent.
Only when Mrs. Lu Guo had more free time, she asked someone to take Sun Tingfang over to live with her for a while.
When you are poor, I will help you tide over the difficulties and make a comeback.
When you are rich, I retreat behind the scenes and watch you resplendent.
If a man could get such a wife, he would laugh out of his dreams.
When Sun Tingfang came to Lu Guogong's mansion.
It's almost evening.
Mrs. Lu Guo had been waiting at the door for a long time.
With the help of the maid, Sun Tingfang slowly got out of the carriage.
When the girl was twelve or thirteen years old, she became graceful and graceful.
She doesn't look as rough as Cheng Huailiang as expected.
Not as beautiful and holy as Lu Wanjie.
Her beauty lies more in her temperament.
With every frown and smile, you can feel the unique gentle and waxy temperament.
That temperament is like a cold jade pendant held in the hand.
It makes people feel cold and comfortable and reluctant to let go.
First, he came to Cheng Huailiang and said something to his cousin.
Then he walked up to Mrs. Lu Guo, she bowed and saluted and said: "Aunt!"
"Eh."
Mrs. Lu Guo smiled like a flower and quickly took her hand and led her into the house.
At this time, Cheng Huailiang said: "Mom, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to Your Highness first."
"This will save Your Highness from finding me if something happens."
"good."
Mrs. Lu Guo nodded and said, "Come back early tonight, and Mom will prepare delicious food for you."
Although she was speaking to Cheng Hualiang.
But his hand kept rubbing the back of Sun Tingfang's hand.
From this, it is not difficult to see her love for Sun Tingfang.
Judging from her appearance, she probably regarded her as her own daughter.
After hearing his mother's words, Cheng Huailiang saluted and then hurried to Prince Qin's Mansion.
I heard him say that his cousin has arrived.
Li Chengqian chuckled and said, "In that case, the plan starts now."
Following his order.
Cheng Huailiang and Changsun Chong also hurriedly took action.
This time, Li Chengqian was determined to plot against Li Chongyi.
Since they are marrying a wife, is there any difference between the Cui family and the Sun family?
Besides, Miss Sun is not necessarily worse than Miss Cui.
In Li Chengqian's heart, Li Chongyi still took advantage.
At night, the three little ones sneaked into Duke Lu's mansion.
The place where the carriage is kept in Duke Lu's Mansion.
Li Chengqian took out a small bottle from his pocket and handed it to Cheng Huailiang.
"Put this thing on the footstool."
Cheng Huailiang did not hesitate and hurriedly followed suit.
When the liquid in the bottle was poured onto the step chair, a puff of white smoke suddenly emitted from the step chair.
And the smell, not to mention how unpleasant it is.
Cheng Huailiang hurriedly covered his mouth and nose and asked: "Your Highness, what is this..."
"A good thing to help my aunt turn over."
Cheng Huailiang and Changsun Chong both looked towards Li Chengqian.
The corners of Li Chengqian's lips raised high: "You two, just watch."
