Chapter 279: Seems to have lost weight?
I'm afraid that this banquet may appear harmonious and peaceful on the surface, but it's actually turbulent underneath.
Liang Moyuan curled her lips, and she lay down on the couch, whispering, "I remember His Majesty gave me a pair of hair curtains before. Find them, I need them tomorrow."
"By the way, remember to inform Divine Doctor Ye and ask him to personally inspect the food tomorrow."
Just as Ye Xingzhi said, those attending the banquet were all important figures in the court and the palace, and there must be no mistakes.
She instructed the four maids to do all the shopping today.
The food ingredients were also piled up in the large courtyard, for fear that someone would tamper with them.
Mei Shu, who was standing by, nodded: "Yes, I understand."
Lan Shu came over, holding a floral essential oil and a meridian comb in her hand: "Princess, the hot water is ready."
Liang Moyuan then stood up and went towards the steamy bathroom.
"The Crown Princess looks very happy." Meishu and Jushu walked behind and whispered.
Ju Shu covered her mouth with a smile and blinked her eyes: "Our Crown Prince's Consort and the Crown Prince haven't seen each other for almost ten days. Of course, the Crown Prince's Consort will be happy to see them tomorrow."
In fact, what Jushu said is not wrong.
Thinking that she would be able to see Huo Jinjian tomorrow, Liang Moyuan's heart beat faster involuntarily.
The four maids were serving Liang Moyuan. They looked at her slightly raised mouth corners, glanced at each other, and understood what was going on.
The last time they saw Huo Jin risking his life to save Liang Moyuan, they accepted this son-in-law from the bottom of their hearts.
It’s a pity that before Huo Jin could have a good heart-to-heart with Liang Moyuan, the complicated affairs in the palace kept them separated for such a long time.
Tomorrow, they can finally meet and talk to each other.
Even the banquet held to confer the title was extremely grand because it was personally presented by the emperor.
The four maids got up early and busied themselves decorating the marquis' mansion magnificently according to Liang Moyuan's instructions.
Even the old lady was invited back from the ancestral hall by Liang Moyuan.
After getting dressed, Liang Moyuan first went to pay a visit to the old lady and the marquis.
"Hello, old lady." Liang Moyuan raised her hand and bowed slightly.
The old lady quickly stood up to stop Liang Moyuan: "Now that you are the Crown Prince's Consort, it is I who should bow to you. How can I accept your bow?"
Marquis Huo on the side also went to help Liang Moyuan: "Yes, Princess, get up quickly."
Liang Moyuan sat next to the old lady, and her position was higher than that of Marquis Huo.
"Old lady, I have prepared vegetarian food specially for you today, you can eat it without worry." Liang Moyuan was careful and thoughtful. She also found out that the powerful relatives were vegetarians, and arranged two tables for them.
The old lady nodded with great satisfaction: "It seems that you are doing a very good job as the mistress of the house. I don't have to worry about anything anymore."
"This is also the first time I've organized such a large banquet. If there are any shortcomings, I'd like your guidance, old lady."
Liang Moyuan was not polite.
This was the first time in her past and present lives that she had arranged such a grand banquet. If there was any mistake, it would be a disgrace to Huo Jinjian and the Marquis' Mansion.
The old lady did not refuse and, with the help of the nanny, went to Changchun Garden where the banquet was being held.
But on the way, the old lady couldn't help but ask, "Princess, why are you covering your face with a veil and wearing a veil?"
Liang Moyuan had already thought of the corresponding words.
"With the recent change of seasons, I've become allergic to mealworms. My face has been covered in rashes and small pox these days, making it difficult for me to meet distinguished guests. However, it would be impolite for me not to attend this banquet, so I'll wear the hair curtain Your Majesty gave me to fulfill the formalities."
Upon hearing this, the old lady nodded in satisfaction, without any doubt, and felt that Liang Moyuan had worked hard.
Even in such a situation, he still has to personally organize the banquet, which is really rare.
Changchun Garden is the largest courtyard in the Marquis' Mansion. There are eighteen tables with seats for twenty people each according to the number of people on the visiting cards.
There are also three separate tables at the front facing the guests.
Those were the positions specially reserved for Huo Jinjian, the third prince, and the eldest princess.
The old lady took a look around and couldn't find any mistakes even if she looked at it with a critical eye.
She even looked through the menu, and saw that everything from cold dishes to hot dishes to soups and sweet soups was meticulously prepared.
She turned around, nodded and smiled at Liang Moyuan, saying, "The Crown Prince's Consort has made comprehensive preparations. I don't have much to offer."
Liang Moyuan raised the corners of her mouth modestly.
While chatting with the old lady, the servant came running over: "Princess, the prince is back!"
Liang Moyuan immediately stood up and hurried towards the door.
Seeing this, Huo Jin jumped off the carriage and headed towards Changchun Garden as the servant mentioned.
The two happened to bump into each other in the garden.
The moment Liang Moyuan saw Huo Jin, her heart trembled.
Is it an illusion?
Why did she feel that Huo Jin had become thinner after being in the palace for a few days?
When Huo Jin saw Liang Moyuan, who was dressed gorgeously but covered her face, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
However, there were so many people around that he didn't ask any more questions.
Liang Moyuan slowly stepped forward and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, husband."
Seeing this, Huo Jin shook his head, took Liang Moyuan's fair hand, and walked towards the main courtyard.
Liang Moyuan signaled the four maids to go to Changchun Garden and keep an eye on it first, so as to avoid any mistakes being noticed.
Returning to the courtyard, Huo Jin saw Liang Moyuan holding hands and looking at each other in silence.
In the end, Huo Jinjian was the first to speak: "Mo Yuan, why do you look like this?"
