Chu Yue rubbed her eyebrows.
"I have never been to any of these banquets, and I don't know much about the complicated etiquette in the capital. What if I make a fool of myself?"
Ningdong thought for a while and looked at Chu Yue.
"Princess Princess, how about we tell the outside world that your injury is not completely healed and you can't go?"
Chu Yue raised her eyes and glanced at her.
"The reason why they invited me must be because the news about my entering the city the day before yesterday has spread. Since I have been out, it means that my injury is almost healed. Besides, the owner of these two posts is Mrs. Shangshu. One is the Queen, and I cannot offend anyone."
"What does the princess mean?"
"I have to go." After a pause, Chu Yue asked again, "When are Mrs. Lin's birthday banquet and plum blossom appreciation banquet respectively?"
"Mrs. Lin's birthday is on the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, and the plum blossom viewing feast is on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month."
Chu Yue nodded slightly, "You asked Danxia to measure my measurements and send them to a clothing store in the capital. I want to customize two sets of clothes."
She does have clothes to wear now, because she is recuperating in Zhuangzi, so her clothes are relatively large and comfortable, which is fine for daily wear, but if she goes to a banquet, she will look a bit shabby.
"yes."
Ningdong Fushen turned around and called Danxia into the room.
After Danxia measured Chu Yue's measurements, she wrote down her request and then went to the capital in a carriage.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Yue looked at Ningdong again.
"I remember that among the rewards His Majesty sent to Zhuangzi before, there was a ginseng plant. Find it out and bring it to the Minister's Mansion as a congratulatory gift."
Blissful body in winter.
"Yes, I will go look for you now, slave."
…
The seventh day of the twelfth lunar month is Mrs. Lin’s birthday.
Because Zhuangzi was far away from the capital, Chu Yue got up early and picked out a light pink embroidered skirt and put it on, paired with a pair of embroidered shoes of the same color.
There was delicate makeup on her face, and the almost invisible scar on her forehead was covered by a trace of bangs.
I am still using Shuhen Cream now, and in about another month, the scars will disappear completely.
Ningdong looked at Chu Yue in the mirror, her eyes full of surprise.
"Miss, when you are dressed like this, this slave can hardly recognize you."
Chu Yue stood up and looked at herself in the mirror.
Her slender body is wrapped in a pink skirt, and she is exquisite and graceful. Her oval face is small and delicate, her eyebrows are delicate and lively, and when she smiles, her shining eyes are like a crescent moon.
Although there is delicate makeup on her face, the makeup is not very obvious, and she looks very fresh and beautiful.
In the past, she rarely appeared in formal occasions, and she always dressed loosely and comfortably. If she often travels to the capital in the future, there will probably be many occasions like this.
After thinking about it, Chu Yue was actually not very interested in this kind of banquet.
After all, she is quite busy.
Yun Cuihe sent Chu Yue out of the yard with a worried look on her face. After giving her instructions, she watched her get on the carriage and waited until the carriage was far away before entering the yard.
"Doctor Zhang, will Yueyue be okay?"
Zhang Zheng said comfortingly, "Don't worry, she is going to a banquet, not to do farm work. What can happen?"
"Can……"
Zhang Zheng held the chess piece in his hand and looked up at Yun Cuihe, with a hint of domineering on his face.
"Not to mention that she now has the status of a princess, just because I am here, no one dares to touch her."
Yun Cuihe wanted to say something else, but seeing Zhang Zheng's vow, he sighed and went back to his room.
He heard that Yueyue was taken away before, so he rushed to the capital without saying a word. It was obvious that he was nervous about Yueyue. Now that he said it was fine, it was probably fine.
…
The carriage soon arrived at Shangshu Mansion.
Today is Mrs. Lin's birthday, and many people came to attend the banquet.
There were many carriages parked outside the Shangshu Mansion to avoid congestion. After the guests got off the carriages, the servants of the Shangshu Mansion would lead the coachmen to lead the carriages to the backyard.
Chu Yue got off the carriage with Ningdong's help. As soon as she got off the carriage, a carriage came towards her and stopped not far away.
The first person to jump out of the carriage was a man. Chu Yue didn't recognize the man, but what he said caught Chu Yue's attention.
"Brother Lu, hurry up."
"good."
The next moment, a familiar figure lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.
Just because of the location where the carriage stopped, Lu Xinghe did not notice Chu Yue in the dark.
Chu Yue didn't expect to see Lu Xinghe in Shangshu Mansion, and I'm afraid he didn't expect that he would come either, right?
She was both surprised and happy in her heart. Just when she was hesitating whether to step forward to say hello to Lu Xinghe, she heard a soft female voice from inside the car.
"Brother, Brother Xinghe, please wait for me."
Immediately afterwards, the curtain was opened, and a slender and beautiful woman emerged from the carriage. She was wearing a bright red brocade cape and a snow-white fur collar at the neckline, which made her look extremely charming.
The man who came out first stretched out his hand towards the woman.
"Come, brother, help you."
However, the woman did not stretch out her hand. She pointed at Lu Xinghe with a coquettish look on her face.
"I don't want brother to help me, I want brother Xinghe to help me."
Lu Xinghe did not help him, but took two steps back and raised his hands to bow.
"Men and women are not intimate, not to mention that I already have a wife. Miss Yuan should let Brother Yuan support her."
"Brother Xinghe~" The woman stamped her feet coquettishly, turned slightly and said, "I don't care, I want you to help me, otherwise I won't go."
Yuan Yutang on the side saw this and hurriedly advised, "Sister, we are here to celebrate Mrs. Lin's birthday today. Don't be petty, otherwise you will make people laugh for nothing and lose the face of your parents."
Yuan Xueer raised her chin slightly.
"Brother, when have you ever cared about my face?"
The reason why she acted willfully was, firstly, because she was the most favored daughter in the family, and secondly, because she did not want to become a victim of marriage between families.
So much so that now that I am nineteen and still unmarried, I am worried about the elders in my family.
When Yuan Yutang heard this, he looked at Lu Xinghe with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"Brother Lu, what do you think..."
Lu Xinghe originally didn't want to come today. He didn't like staying with Yuan Xueer.
However, the wife was ill today and said that Yuan Xueer only listened to him and had to ask him to come with her.
Because of the teacher's face, he could only risk his life to accompany her.
He knew that Yuan Xueer was willful, but he didn't know that she was so unreasonable outside.
Because this would be at the door of Shangshu Mansion, in order not to cause a sensation, he walked towards the carriage and raised his arms.
He wanted Yuan Xueer to grab his arm and jump out of the carriage.
Chu Yue was originally quite happy when she saw Lu Xinghe keeping a distance from Yuan Xueer, but when she saw him helping other women out of the carriage, she felt sour in her heart.
Ningdong noticed Chu Yue's mood swings and whispered in her ear, "Princess, Miss Yuan is so shameless. Even my uncle said that he already has a wife, yet she is still messing around."
