The [-]-day banquet held by the young master of the Prince's Mansion was very grand.

On the one hand, Xiang Feng had just ascended to the throne of crown prince and had not yet celebrated the grand celebration. At this time, the young master's [-]-day banquet was held, and the pomp and ceremony was very lavish and extravagant.

Almost as soon as the sky was getting brighter, firecrackers were lit in the Prince's Mansion.The crackling sound continued from the street to the end of the street, waking up most of the people in the capital.

Immediately afterwards, the side door of the Prince's Mansion opened, and the servants and maids coming and going began to prepare the banquet for the hundred-day banquet.This period of busy work gradually stopped until the sun rose.

Soon afterwards, the streets across the capital began to become lively.Merchants and people took to the streets, and the main gate of the Prince's Mansion opened in response.

Two rows of red lanterns were lit, making the main entrance glow red.Even the two stone lions in front of the door were hung with two circles of festive red ribbons.

As soon as the main door opened, guests came and went to the Prince's Mansion.

Several guards stood in two rows in front of the gate. The steward's father-in-law stood under the porch, nodding and bowing to welcome and send off. He politely greeted the civil and military ministers, ladies of aristocratic families, noble lords, noble ladies, etc. who came to congratulate them. Send them all to the Prince's Mansion.

Some people who recognized their identity did not need an invitation and were sent directly to the inner courtyard.

Some people with slightly lower backgrounds checked the invitation documents one by one, and then invited people to arrange a rest in the flower hall.

According to the original arrangement of the Prince's Mansion, the Hundred Days Banquet will not start until noon.After lunch, it was tea break.The Crown Princess invited people to build a stage in the palace, and also ordered people to renovate the garden.

It's early autumn in the capital, and a lot of chrysanthemums are already blooming.If the guests are tired of listening to the opera, they can also go for a walk in the garden, admire the chrysanthemums and drink tea.

After the afternoon recreation, there was the dinner.

The reserved guest list for a dinner party is much smaller than that for a luncheon.

Those who were able to stay to participate in the dinner were all ministers and sons and ladies from aristocratic families who were from high-profile families and had close contacts with the Prince's Mansion.

Usually, the dinner ends completely at midnight.Only then will all the guests at the banquet disperse.

However, for such a large banquet, most of the guests will leave early, and only the closest relatives and family members will leave until late at night.

"There are many guests visiting the Prince's Mansion today. You and I are invited by the Prince and must attend the dinner before we can go back." Fu Guan said.

Lou Xiyue: "That means we have to stay in the Prince's Mansion for a full day."

To be honest, Lou Xiyue didn't care how long the other guests would stay in the Prince's Mansion.She just wanted to go home early.

"There are too many banquets here and there in the capital, and it's so noisy that it gives people a headache." Lou Xiyue said.

Since she arrived in the capital, she has not participated in many banquets.

But every time, it caused quite a stir.

In the past, there was a target from the Yan Mansion, and then there was an incident in the Princess's Mansion. There were riots by the people, and attacks by assassins. Which time was not thrilling and dangerous?

Lou Xiyue thought that she might have conflicted with the so-called "banquet", otherwise why would she encounter accidents every time?

And this time, it was obviously the Hongmen Banquet set up by the prince.

But I had to go.

Fu Kan could see her resistance: "The Prince of Xuanping has never had any friendship with the prince, so I can express my feelings briefly this time. After the dinner, everyone will definitely have some more fun, and we can go straight back to the palace, there is no need to stay any longer." "

Lou Xiyue thought so too.

I'm just afraid that I won't be able to wait until they leave peacefully today.

As she thought this, the carriage stopped steadily outside the Prince's Mansion.Fu Guan got off the carriage one step ahead of her, and then caught her at the side.

Although Lou Xiyue herself did not think that she would need help from others when she got off the carriage, but due to her current status, she could only hold Fu Guan's wrist through several layers of clothes and use his strength to walk away. Come down.

Lou Xiyue stood beside Fu Guan, slightly half a step behind him.

When the two met their eyes, they smiled slightly at each other.She is gentle and dignified, and he is brilliant.This is their way of getting along with each other externally - tacitly pretending to be a loving model couple.

At this time, the father-in-law in charge who was waiting outside the Prince's Mansion came up to him, his eyes narrowed with a smile: "Oh, the Prince and the Princess are here. His Highness the Prince has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me to the inner courtyard."

Fu Guan smiled politely and nodded: "Thank you." Then he took Lou Xiyue's wrist and stepped into the door.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still talking about you and the princess, saying that you have worked hard on your trip south this time, and wanted to take this opportunity to cleanse you... Oops, prince and princess, be careful where you step -"

The father-in-law in charge was talking nonchalantly in the front, while Lou Xiyue followed Fu Guan, looking around without leaving any trace.

The Prince's Mansion occupies a vast area. After passing the main gate, there are "small gates" one after another.The courtyards in the east, west, north and south seem to be one after another, countless.

The high wall isolates the space. When you look up, the sky becomes a square shape. At the same time, you are surrounded by beautifully carved beams and paintings.

Compared with the inner courtyard of the palace, although the Prince's Palace cannot be said to be a heavenly palace, it is indeed much more luxurious and magnificent than the Xuanping Palace.

Lou Xiyue thought in her heart, it's no wonder that everyone in the world is striving for fame, wealth and power.Living in this house filled with gold and silver and enjoying the power of life and death is probably the greatest happiness in the world for those people.

She was distracted, and after a while, the steward's father-in-law stopped in front of a courtyard.He said: "The guests are all inside. Your Majesty and Princess, please come."

Fu Guan and Lou Xiyue looked at each other and immediately stepped through the door.

After they passed through the courtyard, they entered the main hall, where people were laughing and laughing.The maid in the corridor announced: "King Xuanping and his concubine are here to visit!——"

Then, several maids came out to welcome him.

Because it is a child's [-]th birthday banquet, it is not bound by the strict etiquette of monarchs and ministers.Everyone either came to see him or bowed down, and after saying hello, they started chatting.

Generally speaking, male guests and female guests are seated at separate banquets.

Therefore, Fu Guan stopped in the front hall.He met several colleagues, and some of them spoke politely.

Lou Xiyue followed the maid and passed through the small door on the left.

Before the two separated, Lou Xiyue looked back.At the same time, Fu Guan was also looking towards her.

When their eyes met, Fu Guan waved to her: "Go."

Lou Xiyue didn't hesitate anymore, turned around and walked through the small corridor to the flower hall where the female guests were.

Here, several young officials around Fu Guan cheered: "Oh! The relationship between the prince and the princess is really good. Isn't that what the so-called deep love between husband and wife is like?"

"Hi, my lord, the princess has left. Are you still watching?"

Fu Guan came back to his senses and smiled, saying, "I'll make you laugh."

"Hey, the prince and the princess are very affectionate. I am so envious when I see them. It makes me laugh." Someone suggested:

"By the way, let's go over there and sit for a while? Speaking of which, the prince has been back in Beijing for a while, and I haven't spoken to him for a long time. I am very curious about the prince's trip to the south of the Yangtze River..."

"Okay, let's talk while walking..."
