Glory all the way

Chapter 310 Private Banquet
Living in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion for a few days, Bai Yingluo's life was very comfortable and carefree, as if she had returned to the time when she was not married again.

After Du Xuan was busy with his errands every day, he would also come to Hou Mansion to have dinner with Old Master Bai and Mrs. Bai, as well as Bai Yingluo and Brother Yan, and then he would go back to Zhuangyuan Mansion alone to rest.

The No. [-] Scholar's Mansion lost its hostess, and the people who sent invitations, or those who came directly to the door were all in vain. Those who came and went, understood the meaning of Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo, and gradually, it became deserted.

Hearing that Liuying returned to the mansion and got the news from the housekeeper, Bai Yingluo asked Chen Xiang and the others to pack up their things and plan to go back.

The day of Chen Xiang's marriage is approaching, so it is necessary to make good preparations for her.

Although Bai Yingluo had prepared the dowry for the house early in the morning, she told Chen Xiang in advance that she was allowed to marry from Yixin Garden, and the new year was coming soon, so there were still many things inside and outside, Bai Yingluo Yingluo couldn't keep her head shrunk and hide in Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Go to old lady Bai and explain clearly, after breakfast the next morning, Bai Yingluo and her party went back.

After entering Yixin Garden, Bai Yingluo summoned Chen Xiang.

"It's less than half a month away from the big day. These days, you can rest in peace and prepare to be your new bride. In the house, there are Liusu and Liuying with Xiangzhu and the others. Don't worry about it..."

Saying that, Bai Yingluo turned her head to look at Liusu, and handed the mahogany brocade box she handed over to Chen Xiang.

"I prepared the house for you early in the morning. Once you enter five rooms, it is enough for the two of you to live in. If you want to be with the elderly in the future, you can look at each other and change it to a bigger house. In addition, it is your identity. Put it together with the title deed."

"You keep the 200 taels of silver well. If you have a chance in the future, you can start a small business. Otherwise, you can also store it in the Yinzhuang. It can be regarded as an addition to you, my son and I."

"This set of hair masks and these few hairpins are ordered by me for you. Although you have only been with me for a few years, you can be diligent and responsible. You deserve these. After all, they are our masters. It's a bond of servanthood. We're married, and we can live a good life with Wang Zhi, and the good days are to come."

As she said that, Bai Yingluo couldn't help thinking of every little thing about Chen Xiang after she came to her side, and she couldn't help but feel a little moved.

On the other side, Chen Xiang was already crying uncontrollably.

From the day she entered Jing'anhou's mansion, she reminded herself all the time to be cautious and never lose her life.Step by step, she grew up as a servant girl and became the first-class servant girl in the old lady's face. She thought that when she reached the age, the old lady would be kind enough to betroth her to the family in the house to have a child, which would be her dignity.

But following Bai Yingluo's side, she couldn't see the future, but it suddenly became brighter. Now, she has a body contract and her own house. His face turned pale.

Kneeling down on the ground, Chen Xiang took the things and put them aside, kowtowed to Bai Yingluo and said: "Madam, your kindness is always in my heart. In a few months, this servant will come back to serve you, don't rush Slaves go."

We big families often have people who let go of their personal deeds but are still willing to stay by the master's side to serve them, just like Zhao's mother who is next to the old lady Bai.

Bai Yingluo smiled, asked Liu Ying to help her up, and said softly: "We will talk about the future. When you are married, you will have your parents-in-law to serve you, and your husband-in-law will take care of you. In the future, you will have children to cherish." , let's not look so far now, just look in front of us, understand?"

Saying that, seeing Chen Xiang's cheeks blushing, but her eyes swollen like walnuts, Bai Yingluo smiled and waved her hands, letting Liuying accompany her back to the house.

Looking back, Bai Yingluo couldn't help sighing.

After Chen Xiang gets married, Liu Su and Liu Ying will probably look at each other and get ready. At that time, there will only be Xiang Zhu and Bi Mo around. Although they are always there to serve, they are not as caring as these people smoothly.

Liusu knew in her heart why Bai Yingluo sighed, but she was ashamed to say whether to marry or not, she only made up her mind, but she didn't say anything.

Heavy snowfalls one after another made the capital look elegant and beautiful. Crystal clear icicles also formed on the branches in the yard. Occasionally, passing birds stopped to rest, and after flying high, they would rustle. It fell to the ground with a rustle, and the shattered ice balls looked more dazzling under the sunlight.

After finishing the Laba porridge, it will be the day of Chen Xiang's marriage in a blink of an eye.

Waking up early, Chen Xiang came to the main room with tears in his eyes and kowtowed to Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo before going back to the room to wash and dress up.

After seeing off Du Xuan and coaxing Brother Yan to sleep, Bai Yingluo got up and went to Chen Xiang's room.

The room was full of laughter, the maids and daughters-in-law who had been friends with Chen Xiang on weekdays were all around, and the bride who had been invited couldn't stop praising her. Bai Yingluo entered the room along the raised curtain, and saw a red wedding dress sitting Chen Xiang, who was in front of the dressing table, couldn't help but also froze for a moment.

Chen Xiang is good-looking, Bai Yingluo knew about it early in the morning, otherwise, the second master would not have thought about it for so long, and went to the old lady Bai to beg so many times.

But at this moment, Chen Xiang's blushing cheeks made the already applied rouge more radiant, and there was a crystal light in his joyful eyes, and his whole body exuded a dazzling radiance.

"It's cheaper, Wang Zhi..."

Bai Yingluo said jokingly.

After sitting for a while, Bai Yingluo returned to Yixin Garden. At noon, the bridegroom who came to welcome the bride brought Chen Xiang to the main room to kowtow to Bai Yingluo, and the welcoming team went to the outside house.

After taking a nap, she heard brother Yan's laughter. Bai Yingluo got up and walked to the main room, and saw Du Xuan carrying brother Yan on her neck. The father and son were playing wildly in the room. The guy's two hands are stretched out to form a kite, and holding his head is to ride a horse. Du Xuan also makes the driving sound of "driving" and animal sounds of "moo" and "baaaa" from time to time.

Brother Yan giggled, his eyes were full of joy, and his little face was flushed with excitement from the joy of playing.

After asking the wet nurse, she realized that they had been playing for less than half an hour. Bai Yingluo gave Du Xuan a resentful sideways glance, stepped forward to pick up Brother Yan, and fed him a few sips of water.

"Aren't you busy today?"

It was rare to see him come back so early, Bai Yingluo looked very happy.

Du Xuan took the hand extended by Brother Yan, and responded casually: "His Royal Highness hosted a banquet in the other garden for the envoy of Loulan, and invited me to attend, so come back early today."

Bai Yingluo frowned, turned her head and told Du Xuan, "Then drink less, and take a carriage when we leave later."

It snowed a few days ago, Du Xuan had been going to Honglu Temple by horse-drawn carriage. Later, when the weather cleared and the snow melted, Du Xuan couldn't wait to put the saddle and rein on the white horse. It wasn't the horse that Du Xuan was used to riding, and there was a tacit understanding. Du Xuan was determined to fly off the horse at that time, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Therefore, after the twelfth lunar month there was often heavy snow, Bai Yingluo never allowed Du Xuan to ride a horse again.

Knowing Bai Yingluo's worry, Du Xuan smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, the same thing will never happen again."

As the evening approached, Du Xuan changed his clothes and put on his clothes. When he got to the warm kang, he kissed Bai Yingluo and brother Yan, put on thick fur and went out.

The prince's other courtyard is outside the city, close to Nanyang Palace. When Du Xuan arrived, many carriages had already parked outside the gate.

In the banquet hall, the beautiful and beautiful maids shuttled around to arrange the banquet tables. In the side hall, several people were playing dice.

Du Xuan took the thick fur and handed it to the maid who was serving beside him. As soon as he stepped into the hall door, he heard Bai Jinyuan's affectionate call.

In addition to the Loulan envoy, the crown prince also invited the eldest sons of several major families in the capital, all of whom are of the same age. When the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, these people will be his right-hand men.

Xu Shi was in regular contact with each other, and when they met, they were not very polite to each other, so they chatted with people who were similar.

Naturally, Du Xuan and Bai Jinyuan were together, chatting about each other's errands, and talking about the lovely brother Yan and sister Ru.

At noon, the prince and Loulan envoys arrived one after another.

Seeing Du Xuan's gentle smile as always, there was some unknown deep meaning in Sadore's eyes, which was fleeting.

The crown prince is the crown prince, and he is most afraid of making friends with foreign ministers, but this banquet, except for the Loulan envoy, is a group of young people in the capital, which is far from making friends with foreign ministers.

What's more, the name of the prince's banquet was to be practiced by Loulan envoys.

Three days ago, the Loulan envoy had submitted his resignation, and he would leave for Loulan on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month. Although Emperor Jiayuan said that the weather in the twelfth lunar month was severe and the road would be difficult, he sincerely asked him to stay, Sadoer still declined politely.

The previous rumors about the similarity between Du Xuan and the Lord of Loulan have become a rumor without end. Although countless people are curiously waiting for the next article, the Loulan envoys are still silent, and the relationship with Du Xuan is close, which makes people curious I can't help but chat with each other.

At the banquet, there was a staggering array of cups and cups, and everyone only talked about love affairs and did not mention the affairs of the court, but it was a party of harmony between the guests and the host.

Sadoer took a sip of the strong wine in the glass, feeling a rush of heat permeating his chest and abdomen along his throat, and after a while, his eyes were stained with scarlet.

As for Du Xuan, who was sitting opposite, he was not arrogant or excessive, and after drinking the few glasses of wine he should drink, he didn't raise his glass much. When he saw that Bai Jinyuan was slightly drunk, he simply called the maids over and told them to drink The wine pot on the table for himself and Bai Jinyuan was removed, and strong tea was replaced.

Seeing Sadoer sneaking glances at Du Xuan who was sitting opposite, the Loulan official next to him asked in a low voice: "My lord, Your Majesty sent a secret envoy to send her a letter, and our people also sent a letter, saying that the prime minister My lord has sent a team of people, I don't know what the intention is, should we remind him?"

Glancing sideways at the official, Sadoer raised his head and drank the last bit of wine in the glass, and said ambiguously: "Your Majesty said, now that our identities are unknown, let us not act rashly and complete our mission and return home as soon as possible. Therefore, we Don't meddle in other people's business. As for the prime minister..."

A sly smile appeared on Sador's lips, "How do we know if the Prime Minister has a backhand? So, let's all live in peace."
