The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and then Zhao suggested going back home.

Xun Niannian tried to persuade her to stay, but Zhao said that there were still many things to deal with in the mansion, so Xun Niannian did not insist.

She asked Dong Xing to pick some potatoes and personally wrote down several cooking methods on a piece of paper for Zhao to take back.

"Mother, this is a new type of vegetable. Take it back and ask the chef in the mansion to cook it for you to try."

Zhao was curious when she saw the potatoes, which she had never seen before, and immediately said that she would ask the chef to cook them when she returned home.

Just after seeing Zhao and Xun Sisi off, Butler Lin suddenly came over.

"Princess, someone from Yueqing County's Mansion just came to deliver a note, saying that they would personally hand it to you."

"A post from the Yueqing County Lord's Mansion?"

Xun Niannian frowned. Didn’t she know any Princess Yueqing?

How come the post was suddenly sent to her?

Xun Niannian took the note handed to her by Steward Lin doubtfully, opened it and took a look.

After reading the content, she realized that it was an invitation to a poetry tea party.

Just by hearing the three words "Poetry Tea Party", Xun Niannian could probably guess what this thing was. It must be an activity where a group of noble ladies and young men who had nothing to do after eating get together to recite poems, have fun, and show off their talents, right?

Xun Nian Nian has no interest in this kind of activity.

She asked Butler Lin: "Can you refuse it for me?"

Steward Lin looked embarrassed and said, "Princess, when the people from the Yueqing County Lord's Mansion gave me the invitation, they said that the Yueqing County Lord had given instructions. This is the first time she has invited you, so please be sure to go."

So, this is the case, is there no alternative but to go?

Xun Niannian rubbed his forehead and turned to look at Dong Xing: "Do you know anything about this Yueqing County Lord?"

Dong Xing thought for a moment and said, "I only know that the Princess of Yueqing County is very talented and good at poetry and songs. It is said that she did not lose a single point in a poetry contest with the last champion. Instead, the champion finally gave up and admitted defeat. I don't know anything else."

Xun Niannian raised her eyebrows, she turned out to be a talented girl!

But why did this talented lady suddenly send her an invitation? She was not familiar with her!

Although Xun Nian Nian was puzzled, she didn't think too much about it. Since she couldn't refuse, she would just go and meet him when the time came.

Later, Chen Lianhe returned home and found Niannian to tell him that the Yueqing County Lady's Mansion had sent her an invitation to a poetry tea party.

Chen Lianhe looked at her and said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go."

Xun Nian Nian thought for a moment and said, "Since the Princess of Yueqing County has specifically instructed me to go, if I don't go, it would be a disrespect to her. Forget it, I might as well go. I have nothing to do anyway."

Chen Lianhe naturally had no objection to Xun Niannian's decision, and said calmly: "Then it's up to you."

After a pause, he asked, "Do you need me to go with you?"

Xun Niannian's gaze fell on his shoulder which was still bandaged.

He asked back, "Aren't you busy with official duties? You insisted on going out to work at the government office despite your injury. Do you have the leisure to accompany me to the poetry tea party?"

Chen Lianhe's expression froze slightly when he was asked by Xun Niannian.

Without waiting for him to speak, Xun Niannian said, "You don't need to accompany me. I can go alone. It's just a poetry tea party. What can you do to me?"

Isn't it just drinking tea and writing some poems?

She can't compose poems, but she can recite them!

In her previous life, she was a liberal arts student and had memorized quite a few poems.

Those poems have been sung for hundreds and thousands of years and are still talked about with relish. If she just picked out a few of them, it should be able to shock them, right?

Thinking of this, Xun Nian Nian even felt a little bit of anticipation...
