Chapter 242 Summer Banquet

When the two of them looked at each other and smiled, Ruozhu quickly walked into the classroom and said in a low voice: "Princess, there is a notice from the Empress Dowager, and she wants Her Highness to hold a banquet in Changle Palace in your own name."

"Banquet?" Xiao Ziyi was stunned, then asked back in a daze.Everyone in the palace knew that she was the person who disliked banquets the most. After inviting her a few times, the invitation was sent to her for a formality as usual, and no one expected to be able to invite her.What does empress dowager mean now?Ask her to host a banquet?Did you make a mistake?

Ruozhu knew that this request made Xiao Ziyi very embarrassed, and she was also stunned for a long time when she heard the message from Jianzhang Palace just now.I almost suspected that I had heard it wrong.She sighed, glanced at Nangong Sheng beside her, and then said: "The Empress Dowager wants to hold a party for Miss Xia Houling, but her old man no longer has the energy, and holding it in Weiyang Palace is not suitable for the ceremony. There are no suitable candidates or places for the ladies from other families. So after much deliberation, only you, the princess, are the most suitable." The empress dowager and Xiahou's family are still related, so I want to use this banquet to bring Xiahouling back to everyone's attention , as if the previous things never happened.

When Xiao Ziyi heard Xia Houling's name, she also subconsciously looked towards Nangong Sheng.Unfortunately, due to his thick "mask", she couldn't see half of the expression on his face.Xiao Ziyi thought about it for a while, and gloated softly, "Forget it, isn't it just a banquet? Since the empress dowager grandma wants me, then let's do it! It just so happens that our Changle Palace has a new cook, isn't it? "

Ruozhu's face was full of black lines, she didn't expect Xiao Ziyi to agree so quickly, it seemed that it was all because of Nangong Sheng.

Xiao Ziyi clasped her hands together, moved a few times, and asked enthusiastically: "So, when will this banquet start? How many days are there for preparation?"

"The time is only seven days later. The things you have to do, princess, are here. The slaves have arranged them for you. You need to decide all these." Ruozhu said while taking out a piece of paper from his arms, and handed it to the In front of Xiao Ziyi.

Wow, having a super secretary is a peace of mind.Xiao Ziyi spread out the paper, only to find that it was densely packed with various matters.From who needs to be invited to the banquet, to what tableware to use for the banquet, she needs to make decisions.

Ruozhu explained next to her: "Because it's the princess's first time hosting a banquet, I will list these things for you one by one. I have had an experience once and let the palace people know your preferences, so it will be much easier next time."

And next time?Xiao Ziyi felt a headache when she looked at the things that needed to be decided on the paper.Can she take back what she just said?She doesn't want to hold any banquet...

"Let me help you." Nangong Sheng walked up to Xiao Ziyi, and said lightly, unexpectedly.

"Oh? Are you coming?" Xiao Ziyi raised her eyebrows, and squinted at him.You won't be really stimulated by her words, will you?
"After all, I am also responsible." Nangong Sheng said simply, then bent down and glanced at the things listed on the note, picked up a charcoal pencil from the round table and sketched it casually. "Which people do you need to invite? Ruozhu, go and find out who the Empress Dowager wants to invite, and then ask His Royal Highness or the Empress for a list suitable for these circles. The theme of the banquet, don't just say it because Miss Xiahou’s family, let’s call it Summer Banquet, just a pun. You don’t need to invite actors from the palace for the banquet. Since it’s held in Changle Palace, everyone should watch some children’s performances and play in person. Some games that kids play every day."

"Uh...can it work?" Xiao Ziyi couldn't help interjecting when she heard this.Although listening to Nangong Sheng solve these things easily in a few words, isn't it too exaggerated for the children to perform the show?
Nangong Sheng straightened up, lowered his head and smiled slightly at her, "Don't worry, the ladies in the palace or other families can almost memorize the dramas they usually watch, and few of them really want to watch the drama. Unless you can invite the Danjiao Huachen playboy who is now popular in the capital."

"Huachen?" What a good name, or a good stage name.

"Reversing the female role is absolutely out of this world. The famous play is "Farewell My Concubine". But he rarely comes out to act, and no one knows his identity after the makeup is removed. So basically you can't invite the princess. His." Nangong Sheng smiled, and continued, "A few days ago, I found the "Little Dragon Girl" written by you, princess, and thought it was good. Let the children arrange a still and act according to it. You don't need to sing, just talk the dialogue Bar."

"A play?" Put on a play by the little ones outside playing with paper airplanes?Xiao Ziyi broke into a cold sweat, is there really no problem?Why is this Nangong Sheng still speaking very confidently?

"Hey, drama? That's a good name. That's it. As for the games to play, I think the games that the children play on weekdays are very fun. The games you proposed are very fun, except for some active ladies. Playing a few games of checkers is enough for them to be happy. There are also those fishing for goldfish and so on, which are all very good. You can't fly kites privately in the palace, so flying paper airplanes is also good." Nangong Sheng said confidently.He is a person with quick thinking, otherwise Lanweifang would not let him run it so impressively.

Xiao Ziyi also thought of this point, recalling that he had dealt with those rich men and ladies all day long in Nalanweifang, wouldn't it be easy to hold a banquet?So she finally nodded and said, "Okay, then it's all up to you."

Nangong Sheng continued to talk while instructing Ruozhu, and made a decision on the matter on the paper in a few clicks.Ruozhu looked at Xiao Ziyi and didn't have any objection, and hurriedly followed his orders.Although seven days was not too short, it was the first time she was in charge of such a big banquet. It seemed that the princess had no sign of hope, and she had to seize the time to make use of it.

Xiao Ziyi rested her head on one hand and tried to look from her angle, hoping to see Nangong Sheng's beautiful eyes under her bangs.It's a pity that the sun is hiding behind the clouds at this time, and the room is a little dark, so she can't see clearly.

"Let's go." She heard Nangong Sheng say with a chuckle.

"Let's go? Where are we going?" Xiao Ziyi asked in a foolish manner, not realizing what he meant.

"There is something that needs to be decided by you, princess." Nangong Sheng smiled and took the lead to walk outside the classroom, and said as she walked, "It is to decide which palace in Changle Palace the banquet will be held in!"
