After failing to invite Concubine Yao, Su Bei went back and gave Mo another idea.
"Princess, if the Madam comes, the Prince will have to act affectionate. Why don't you invite the Madam over?"
Mrs. Mo thought about it and said with a worried look, "What if he gets angry?"
"It can't be worse than it is now, right?"
Su Bei was really anxious. She really wanted them to be affectionate with each other. Even if something happened between her and that young man, she didn't want to be a concubine. She just wanted to get the indenture and run away! Poor Su Bei, she lost her mother at the age of eight. How could she know what would happen next? Mo thought that she couldn't go out, but the prince allowed her to send invitations to her close friends recently. This was an opportunity. So she couldn't wait until the next day and hurriedly wrote a letter home.
When Su Bei went to deliver snacks to Chu Younan that night, he handed the letter to Ling Xiao and said, "Guard Ling, the princess said she missed her family, so please take the trouble to deliver this letter to the general's mansion."
Ling Xiao agreed, and after Su Bei left, he gave the letter to Chu Younan first.
Chu Younan carefully opened the letter from home and read it carefully. After making sure that there was nothing inappropriate in it, he let Ling Xiao send the letter.
This must have been Su Bei's idea, just to make her feel that she has won, but only temporarily.
When Su Bei received the reply from the general's wife the next day, she was overjoyed. She felt that in a few days, she would be free!
But Mrs. Mo was a little unhappy, because the letter said that Princess Mu was also there, and when she heard that she was going to hold a birthday party, she offered to come. I hope the prince will not let that bitch see her good show!
Su Bei has been so busy these days for this birthday party that she is dizzy and confused. She doesn't need to worry about anything else. The most important thing is that she promised Chu Younan eighteen kinds of snacks.
Eighteen kinds in total! And she had to feed more than twenty people, which kept her busy for several days. Fortunately, she had made it for Chu Younan every day before, so she made all the varieties.
The birthday banquet soon arrived. The servants in the palace had been warned not to reveal the fact that the princess was under house arrest in the Peony Pavilion, so Mrs. Mo was set free early that morning and finally saw the Fusang garden that Chu Younan had promised her.
Su Bei couldn't help but be shocked.
Red, yellow, and orange hibiscus flowers can be seen everywhere in the garden, competing with each other in beauty, turning the garden into a sea of flowers.
It looks so beautiful!
It can be seen that Chu Younan once had his heart set on Mo. Su Bei was a little puzzled. Why did Chu Younan suddenly become so estranged from Mo?
The people invited by Mrs. Mo arrived in twos and threes. Mrs. Mo's mother also arrived with several daughters of the Mo family. However, the one walking in front was not Mrs. Mo's mother, Mrs. An, but Princess Mu.
After all, she was the eldest daughter and the wife of the emperor's eldest son, Prince Mu. An, a concubine, had to take the spotlight.
“Sister! I heard that you were holding a birthday party, but I came uninvited. I hope you won’t be angry?” Princess Mu said with a smile.
Mrs. Mo secretly gnashed her teeth, but she had a decent smile on her face, "Sister, that's not true. I originally said that you were favored and had to take care of the emperor's daily life, and I was afraid that you would not be able to spare time. I didn't expect that you would find time in your busy schedule."
This time, Princess Mu secretly gritted her teeth. Although she was the principal wife, Prince Mu also had two concubines and a bunch of maids, whom she could not see for several days. She was really no match for that little bitch, Mrs. Mo, who married a romantic man like Prince Su.
But she also said with a proper smile: "No matter how busy you are, you have to come to your sister's birthday party, right? You and I are sisters, and now we are sisters-in-law. We can't let people talk about us."
"Thank you so much, sister!"
"Why should we thank our family members? Eh? Why don't we see our third brother? Could he be so busy with official duties that he even forgot your birthday? You went to my birthday party at the beginning of the year, but my prince arrived very early." Princess Mu took the opportunity to mock Mrs. Mo.
Mrs. Mo is feeling very miserable!
Su Bei was not much better. She kept leaning towards the garden gate, silently saying in her heart: My Lord! My Lord! My extremely handsome Lord! Please don't break your promise. I have prepared 18 kinds of cakes. Come and try them!
Chu Younan, who had just arrived outside the garden, heard Su Bei's mumbling from afar and couldn't help but curl his lips. This girl is finally willing to praise herself? But before he could be happy for long, he heard Su Bei mumbling to herself again: My heaven and earth! How busy are you? Look at how your woman has been insulted by others. I am really worried about you! If you don't like her, just don't marry her! If this goes on for a long time, I think even the best people will go crazy! Chu Younan's lips, which had just been curled up, drooped again, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. You little girl, you know nothing!
He walked into the garden and called out from afar, "Ying'er!"
Although her tone was a little heavy and not particularly affectionate, Madam Mo immediately smiled and looked over happily, "Your Highness is here! I greet you, Your Highness!"
"Hey! I've told you before, you and I are husband and wife, there's no need to perform formalities!" Chu Younan raised the corner of his lips slightly, thinking it was a smile.
Mrs. Mo said with a bit of fear and trepidation: "In front of so many people, of course I have to perform the ceremony. The husband is the leader of the wife, how dare I forget..."
"You! You're naughty again!" Chu Younan said angrily.
Mrs. Mo almost burst into tears. This tone was exactly what Chu Younan often used before the wedding. Could it be that he had been wandering for these days and came back? Su Bei stood aside, smiling like an old mother. She was even more excited than Mrs. Mo. She just hoped that the birthday banquet would end soon, and the two of them would enter the bridal chamber as a couple, and then give her the indenture and the silver!
Hahaha! She was so happy that her heart was about to burst into tears.
Chu Younan glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and snorted in his heart: You! Want to leave? Dream on!
During the entire birthday banquet, Mrs. Mo was in a daze. Chu Younan stayed by her side, sometimes picking up dishes and sometimes wiping sweat from her. It was like she was back to the old days.
Little did he know that Chu Younan had made another important discovery during this birthday party.
Princess Mu's mind was not entirely occupied by the trivialities of a woman's life. She took advantage of Mo's birthday party to make friends with the youngest daughter of the Minister of Personnel and the granddaughter of Imperial Physician Xue.
