Chapter 1623 Invitation
The two had originally planned to leave the city after the third day of the New Year, but on the second day of the New Year, the mansion received an invitation. The Fourth Prince's wife invited her to come to the mansion for a banquet on the sixth day.
This is quite interesting!
The eunuch who delivered the invitation had obviously received special instructions from the Fourth Prince's wife. He said to Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan in a shrill voice, "The Prince's wife has to tell you that Madam Shao must go when the time comes! Don't make excuses to refuse. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the Prince's wife and she would be unhappy."
Qiao Xuan curled her lips and smiled: "This eunuch, just report back to the Fourth Prince's wife. It's rare that the Fourth Prince's wife still thinks of me at this time. This is my honor. I am so happy that I can't wait to go. How could I find an excuse to refuse? Go, I will definitely go!"
Qiao Xuan's expression that said "It would be a great advantage if we go!" made the young eunuch feel like he had punched nothing and was stunned.
He came to watch the fun and gloat over other people's misfortunes, but why did he have the illusion that he was being watched?
"Hmph, that's good! Madam Shao, don't forget it!"
"Haha, I can't forget it, I can't forget it!"
"snort!"
The young eunuch walked away with a gloomy face and flicked his sleeves.
Qiao Xuan scoffed: "You want to see me in action? You're dreaming!"
Didn't the Fourth Prince's wife just want to ridicule her, humiliate her, and see her look humiliated? She just didn't want to do what she wanted.
It’s really a headache to waste time on such a thing.
Shao Yunduan held her hand and smiled: "My lady, just go and watch the fun!"
Qiao Xuan raised her eyes to look at him and smiled, "Well, that's the only way!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
After a few jokes, the two of them felt more relaxed. Shao Yunduan said, "It is indeed difficult for Madam not to go. We are about to leave the capital. I don't think the Fourth Prince's wife would dare to do anything too much to cause trouble. Madam, don't worry."
Qiao Xuan thought, I wasn't worried in the first place. Going to banquets and the like, that was her strong point!
"Well, don't worry, sir!"
As he said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "That's it. We can't go to Yunshui Town tomorrow!"
Shao Yunduan laughed: "It's the same if we go there in a few days. We can stay a few more days and make up for these few days."
Qiao Xuan giggled and said okay.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Qiao Xuan took Lixia to the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
This time it was interesting. The people from the Fourth Prince's Mansion led her into the mansion, and after many twists and turns, they came to a flower hall and asked her to wait there.
It was obvious that they left her here on purpose.
There was no heated kang or charcoal basin in the flower hall. It was cold and deserted. Apart from the master and servant, there was no one else there.
The weather was pretty good, so Qiao Xuan simply took Lixia to the yard to bask in the sun.
Two vigorous and ancient wintersweets in the yard are in full bloom. The golden flowers on the trees are dazzling in the bright sunshine, and the rich and elegant fragrance of the flowers makes people feel relaxed and happy.
While admiring the flowers and chatting with Lixia, Qiao Xuan used her special abilities to secretly listen to the movements in the mansion.
All kinds of noises came at once, and soon Qiao Xuan withdrew her supernatural powers.
This is the bad thing about using supernatural powers in a crowded place. There are too many and too mixed noises, and the noise comes all at once for too long, making it unbearable and dizzy.
This special ability is best used to gather information in the empty mountains and wilderness.
However, there was nothing good to hear in this mansion. The noisy noise was nothing but gossip among the servants, various discussions, envy of the ladies who came to the banquet today, and of course, ridicule and gloating over my own misfortune.
