Chu Yue turned her face sideways and snorted.
"mean!"
Seeing that Chu Yue was unmoved, Lu Xinghe stood up straight and said deliberately, "If there is no reward, then I won't help."
After saying that, he turned around.
Seeing this, Chu Yue hurriedly pulled his arm, "Hey, hey, hey! Wait."
Lu Xinghe glanced at her lightly.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Yue pursed her lips and said reluctantly, "Isn't it just a kiss? Isn't it enough for me to kiss you?"
After finishing speaking, she pulled Lu Xinghe's arm with both hands, stood up on her tiptoes, and pressed her lips to the side of Lu Xinghe's face.
Lu Xinghe's breath froze when he noticed the soft touch on his cheek.
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
For a moment, Chu Yue lowered her head slightly and asked in a low voice, "Is this okay?"
Lu Xinghe looked down at her for a long time, the affection in his eyes undisguised, which made Chu Yue's heart beat fast.
Finally, he pursed his lips and smiled, reaching out to pinch her cheek.
"good."
After saying that, he went straight to the desk and helped Chu Yue draft an invitation format.
"For the people you want to invite, just fill in their names according to this format."
Chu Yue stepped forward, "Okay, I'll just do it by myself. My husband can go read a book."
"Um."
Lu Xinghe put down his brush and walked back to the couch.
He picked up the book, his eyes sometimes looking at the book, sometimes in Chu Yue's direction.
However, Chu Yue was too engrossed in writing and didn't notice his eyes at all.
…
The twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month was the day when Chu Yue hosted a banquet for a group of friends, and it was also the first day that Baiyuan Garden was officially opened to the public.
There are many maids and servants busy in the Baiyuan Garden, and many people have been secretly arranged to maintain order in the garden.
These secret guards are all under the management of Blackwood.
Knowing that Baiyuan Garden is lively and delicious today, Zhang Zheng also followed Chu Yue.
There were indeed not many people invited to Chu Yue's banquet. In addition to the emperor and the queen, there were Gu Xianyu, Qian Yu, Gu Wushuang, Lin Haonan, Luo Qinwen and Wei Xiuyuan who had met before, and there were also three or two young ladies who were all at the palace banquet. We met and introduced each other's names.
The two people from the palace may not come, but the others may have come earlier because they wanted to have a good time and see the garden.
"I've met the princess."
Chu Yue looked at the people in front of her and stepped forward with a smile.
"There's no need to be polite. I was worried that people who weren't familiar with me wouldn't come."
"This is the first time for Princess Heyue to treat guests, and it's in a place with such exquisite scenery. How can I not come?" After saying this, Gu Xianyu came slowly.
A light blue windbreaker was draped over his shoulders, rising slightly as he walked.
He is personable and noble.
Qian Yu walked behind him expressionlessly. The young man was dressed in low-key black, but his aura made it impossible to ignore his presence.
When Chu Yue saw the two of them, she quickly saluted.
"He Yue has met the third prince and his young highness."
The others also followed suit and saluted.
"I've met the Third Prince, and I've met His Highness."
Gu Xianyu raised his hand with a smile, "You don't have to be polite. Today we are all invited by the princess to attend the banquet. I am a guest just like you. Everyone must have fun and eat happily."
Chu Yue smiled and said, "The third prince is absolutely right."
Then he turned to look at the crowd and made an inviting gesture in the direction of Baiyuan Garden.
"Everyone, please follow me."
Seeing that it was still early, Chu Yue took a few people to the leisure and entertainment area.
As she walked, she said, "Not only can you ride horses and shoot arrows here, but you can also go fishing in the lake. In the summer, you can also watch lotus flowers and pick lotus pods. However, the weather in winter is bad and the lake is frozen. For safety reasons, we can't do it for the time being." It’s suitable. There are lantern riddles and swings in the promenade over there, let’s go over there.”
Chu Yue pointed to the long corridor not far away and said.
Looking in the direction Chu Yue pointed, the spacious corridor was extremely warmly decorated. There were many lanterns hanging under the corridor, with different shapes and very exquisite.
There is a swing chair hanging on the edge of the pavilion at the end of the corridor. There is also a chessboard and a tea tray in the pavilion, where everyone can play chess and enjoy tea.
The pavilion is covered with thin curtains, and two charcoal stoves are burning inside. You won't feel cold even if you stay inside for a while.
There is an old tree at the end of the pavilion with a lot of red silk hanging on it.
Looking at the red silk on the tree, everyone looked puzzled.
"Sister He Yue, what is that red silk?" Gu Wushuang asked from the side.
Chu Yue followed what Gu Wushuang expected, and then replied with a smile, "That is a wishing tree. You can write your wishes on the red silk and hang it on the tree. It can wish the wish come true."
Gu Xianyu was noncommittal.
“Since when do wishes have to be fulfilled by a tree?”
Seeing his joking look, Chu Yue had a slight smile on her face.
"Being born in this world, not all emotions can be expressed verbally. That tree is just an emotional sustenance. It is always a piece of fun. If you believe it, you will have it. If you don't believe it, you will not have it."
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard Chu Yue's answer.
Who said that peasant girls were boring before? If you really think so, it is simply the biggest misunderstanding of Princess Heyue.
"Is the layout here all the princess's idea?" Lin Haonan asked.
Chu Yue nodded.
"It's all my own thoughts. In addition to the ones I see now, there are many more. It's just that some are limited by weather and some tools have not been produced."
"Awesome!" Lin Haonan looked at it and said with a smile, "The princess's idea is really clever."
The more he came into contact with Chu Yue, the more interesting he found Chu Yue.
"Today is the first day that Baiyuan Garden is open to the public. I think many people will come here to see it. The princess is here to accompany us, won't it delay your business?" Luo Qinwen asked from the side.
Chu Yue's face was indifferent.
"Although it is open for business, I can't stay here every day. There will be people at the door to receive guests, and my task today is to entertain them well."
The other two ladies looked at Chu Yue, originally just curious about her, but now they both had a smile on their faces.
This princess is much more interesting than they imagined.
Yang Xianhua, the daughter of cabinet bachelor Yang Xin, stepped forward to bless her body.
"Princess, let's solve the lantern riddles, shall we?"
"Okay." Chu Yue made an inviting gesture, "Who's coming first?"
Gu Xianyu pursed his lips and smiled, then came to the corridor, reached out to untie a lantern, and took out the lantern riddle from it.
Before it unfolded, Chu Yue continued to say, "If you don't get the riddle right today, you will be punished."
Gu Xianyu smiled warmly and had a kind face.
"I wonder what the princess's punishment is?"
The next moment, like a magic trick, Chu Yue took out a handful of scraps of paper from her arms.
"If you lose, stick one."
"Sister Heyue, this is unfair." Gu Wushuang smiled and stepped forward, "My sister prepared this riddle. Of course, she knows the answer to the riddle. However, we are completely blind, and no one knows the content of the riddle."
