Chapter 192 Attending the Banquet
Lin Feng was in the middle, Yang Yanru was holding a letter in her hand, with an uncontrollable shyness on her face.
Dongyue looked at her young lady helplessly. Ever since Prince Jin sent someone to deliver the letter to her young lady, her young lady has read it no less than ten times. She was happy for her young lady, but she still had to eat, right?
Dongyue said with a face full of resentment: "Miss, if you don't eat now, the meal will get cold again. Please be kind to me, I have heated it up twice."
Looking at Dongyue who looked angry, Yang Yanru said with a smile: "I know, my sister Dongyue."
As she spoke, she carefully folded the letter in her hand and put it away, then walked to the table and sat down.
Dong'er quickly served Yang Yanru a bowl of soup and handed it to her.
Yang Yanru took it and scooped a spoonful of it down, then thought for a moment and said, "Let's go pay our respects to Princess Jing tomorrow."
Jinnuo said in the letter that he had already made an agreement with Prince Jing to let him live in Prince Jing's mansion for the time being. Once he persuaded his mother, he would ask Prince Jing to give him a letter to release his concubine, and then he would send someone to propose marriage.
……
Long Yuxi's birthday party was held at noon. After getting up and having breakfast in the morning, Long Shang continued to do his own thing. Gu Lingyue went to give Gu Chenxuan an IV and then returned to Zizhuxuan. The task of changing the dressing and removing the needle was left to Qiu Tong.
Tang and Wenxiu were preparing clothes for Gu Lingyue to wear to the banquet.
"Yue'er, what kind of gift do you want to prepare for Princess Rong'an? Mother will get it for you."
Afraid that Gu Lingyue might get hurt or in danger, Tang Shi now wishes that Gu Lingyue would just stay at home and not go anywhere. But she also knows that this is impossible, so she tries her best to be considerate of Gu Lingyue, so that she won't have to worry too much and just focus on taking good care of the baby.
"Don't worry about that. I've already prepared the gift."
"That's good."
They were picking out clothes, and no one noticed that Wei Yingying was staring at Gu Lingyue's belly from time to time.
After Gu Chenrui took Qin Lan to school, Wei Yingying kept sticking to Gu Lingyue, so she got up early in the morning and came to Zizhuxuan.
Sister Yue is pregnant with a baby?
"There's no way it can stay in my belly. How will the baby come out later?" She thought so and asked.
Tang and Wenxiu were stunned at first, not knowing how to respond. Gu Lingyue stepped forward, rubbed Wei Yingying's head, and said with a smile, "This is the midwife's job. Every midwife has magical powers. When the baby is about to be born, the midwife will conjure up the baby."
"So that's how it is!" Wei Yingying seemed to understand, while Tang and Wenxiu chuckled.
Just when the atmosphere was harmonious and joyful, a little maid came in and said, "Princess, Concubine Yang is outside asking to see you."
Hearing the little maid say this, Tang and Wenxiu subconsciously went to see Gu Lingyue, fearing that Gu Lingyue would be angry and have a miscarriage.
Gu Lingyue smiled and said, "Quick, please invite Concubine Yang in."
Seeing Gu Lingyue's enthusiastic expression, Tang and Wenxiu were puzzled. Could it be that their Yue'er agreed to the prince taking a concubine? But this was impossible.
Gu Lingyue also noticed the confusion of Tang and Wenxiu. When she was about to explain to them, Yang Yanru came in with Dongyue carrying a food box.
Dongyue originally thought that since her daughter had become Prince Jing's concubine, there was no hope for her to be with Prince Jin. Who would have thought that Prince Jin actually sent someone to bring a message to her daughter, saying that he would persuade Princess Yizhen to marry her daughter.
If she could really marry Prince Jin, she would also think it would be a good idea to marry Prince Jin.
Although she is only the wife of a prince, she is the mistress of a mansion. Although she is now the concubine of Prince Jing, Prince Jing does not like her daughter at all, let alone enter her daughter's room.
As long as the princess is around, her young lady will never have a chance to succeed.
So now she is hoping that Prince Jin can persuade Princess Yizhen as soon as possible to marry her daughter.
"Yanru greets the princess." Yang Yanru walked up to Gu Lingyue and said respectfully, but Tang and Wenxiu looked alert.
Her daughter Yue'er is pregnant now, so she has to be more careful.
Before she became pregnant with her daughter Yue'er, she had been pregnant once before, but because of her carelessness, she was harmed, which resulted in her being unable to get pregnant for many years. It was not until three years later that she became pregnant with her daughter Yue'er.
Seeing Tang and Wenxiu looking wary, Yang Yanru felt embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
"You're welcome. Come and sit down." Gu Lingyue said with a smile, her eyes never leaving Yang Yanru. "Miss Yang is so beautiful. No wonder Prince Jin has a special liking for you."
Her words not only explained the misunderstanding to Tang and Wenxiu, but also eased Yang Yanru's embarrassment.
Yang Yanru said shyly, "The princess immediately praised it. The princess is truly stunning."
Gu Lingyue chuckled, what a sweet mouth she has.
Tang and Wenxiu seemed to understand and not understand what the two said.
However, they did understand one thing: this young lady of the Yang family would not compete with their daughter Yue'er for the position of Prince Jing, and Tang Shi immediately felt relieved.
Yang Yanru took the food box from Dongyue and opened it. "These are some pastries I made myself this morning. Princess, please try them and see if they suit your taste."
"Thank you, Yanru."
Gu Lingyue's words "Yan Ru" immediately brought the two of them closer together, and they all laughed.
Originally, Yang Yanru had something to say to Gu Lingyue, but now that Tang and others were here, she felt a little embarrassed, so she didn't mention it, but said something else.
Knowing that Gu Lingyue was going to attend the birthday party of Rong'an County Master, Yang Yanru personally helped Gu Lingyue to comb her hair and dress up. Tang was also happy that Gu Lingyue could have more friends.
She smiled and looked at Wei Yingying and said, "Yingying, Auntie is going to take you out to play, okay?"
"it is good."
After Tang and Wenxiu took Wei Yingying away, Yang Yanru told Gu Lingyue the general content of the letter that Chang Jinnuo wrote to her.
The main purpose of her saying this was that she didn't want Gu Lingyue to misunderstand her. Of course, she now knew that Prince Jing had already told Princess Jing about her and Jin Nuo, but she felt that she still needed to say it. After all, she was now nominally Prince Jing's concubine, and this title would make Princess Jing uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, you are so kind, and Prince Jin treats you sincerely, Princess Yizhen will definitely agree with you in the end.
You can stay in the palace peacefully during this time, so you can spend some time with me." Gu Lingyue said with a smile.
Yang Yanru nodded gratefully.
Soon it was time for Gu Lingyue to leave for Prince Yu's Mansion to attend the banquet. Long Shang deliberately put down his official business and accompanied Gu Lingyue, and Tang also asked Wenxiu to go with Gu Lingyue.
The weather was getting colder, and Tang was afraid that Gu Lingyue would catch a cold, so she took out a cloak for Gu Lingyue to put on.
In fact, Gu Lingyue didn’t feel cold, but she knew there was one kind of coldness in this world, and that was that your mother felt you were cold.
So she put it on obediently, and asked someone to put the gift she bought for Long Yuxi in Xishu on the carriage, and then set off for Prince Yu's Mansion.
At this time, there were many carriages parked in front of Prince Yu's Mansion. When the carriage from Prince Jing's Mansion arrived at the gate, one of the gatekeepers quickly ran into the yard, obviously having received instructions from the master.
When Long Shang got off the carriage carrying Gu Lingyue, the heir to the throne and his wife, as well as Long Yuxi, Chang Xinshan and her daughter, hurried out of the mansion.
"Fourth sister-in-law!" Chang Xinshan and Long Yuxi shouted at the same time when they saw Gu Lingyue happy.
The heir prince also said to Long Shang, "I didn't expect that Prince Jing would also come. I apologize for not welcoming you in person. I hope Prince Jing and Princess Jing will forgive me."
"Uncle Wang, you're too kind." Long Shang said this lightly and didn't say anything more. He stayed by Gu Lingyue's side.
Gu Lingyue first exchanged a few polite words with the heir prince and his wife and Princess Yizhen, then took out the gift she had prepared for Long Yuxi from her sleeve and handed it to Long Yuxi, "Yuxi, this is my gift for you."
Long Yuxi took it and looked at the beautifully packaged box. She quickly thanked Gu Lingyue.
Gu Lingyue asked someone to take down the gift she bought for Long Yuxi in Xishu. Chang Xinshan looked at Long Yuxi with envy when she saw her receive the gift from Gu Lingyue.
"Fourth sister-in-law, do you have a gift for me?" Chang Xinshan asked coquettishly.
In fact, she was not someone who cared about gifts. After all, as the jewel in the crown of the princess's mansion, she had seen all kinds of good things. But the gift from her fourth sister-in-law was different.
Princess Yizhen watched her daughter acting coquettishly towards Princess Jing and said with amusement, "Shame on you! How can you ask for a gift in person?"
Chang Xinshan chuckled and said, "Other people's things can be left alone, but Fourth Sister-in-law's is different."
Princess Yizhen shook her head helplessly and said to Gu Lingyue, "Princess, please forgive me for making a fool of myself. Xinshan has been spoiled by me since she was a child."
"There, Xinshan is very good."
Hearing Gu Lingyue speaking up for him, Chang Xinshan looked very proud.
Seeing this, Gu Lingyue smiled and joked, "I'll have someone send the gift for Fifth Sister-in-law to the Princess's Mansion later."
Chang Xinshan: ...
"Fourth sister-in-law~" Chang Xinshan blushed suddenly and everyone laughed.
Seeing that her daughter was shy, Princess Yizhen helped Chang Xinshan change the subject and said, "Everyone, please stop standing here. Let's go inside and talk."
"Prince Jing! Princess Jing, please come in." The Princess made a gesture of invitation, and the group entered the palace.
Tianqi did not have the rule of having men and women sit at different tables, but since many people came to Prince Yu's Mansion today, the male and female guests were separated. Gu Lingyue followed the heir prince's wife and others to the female side, while Long Shang was invited by the heir prince to the male side.
There was still some time before the banquet started, so the Princess brought Gu Lingyue to a room with good lighting.
After she chatted with Gu Lingyue for a while, she was called away by the maid. Seeing this, Princess Yizhen also left, leaving only Long Yuxi and Chang Xinshan to accompany Gu Lingyue.
The three of them hadn't seen each other for a long time and had endless topics to talk about.
Just as the three of them were chatting happily, a maid came up to add tea and accidentally spilled the tea on Chang Xinshan.
Chang Xinshan said angrily, "What's going on? Luckily you spilled it on me. What if you spilled it on a distinguished guest?"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it." The maid kept kowtowing and admitting her mistake.
Chang Xinshan glared at her and said, "Get out of here quickly."
After the maid left, she said to Gu Lingyue with an apologetic look, "Fourth sister-in-law, please sit down first. I'll go change my clothes and come back."
Prince Yu was her maternal grandfather. She had her own room in Prince Yu's mansion, and her daily clothes were kept in it.
"Go quickly, don't catch a cold." Gu Lingyue warned.
After Chang Xinshan left, Long Yuxi was also called away. At this time, only Gu Lingyue and Wenxiu were left in the room.
Gu Lingyue felt that something was a little strange. Why did Chang Xinshan and Long Yuxi get into trouble one after another?
But thinking that this was Prince Yu's Mansion and they were both the owners, what could have happened? Maybe it was just a coincidence, so she didn't think about it anymore.
She was just about to take Wenxiu for a walk when she saw Long Jun walking in from outside with a smile on his face.
