Han Luoxue chuckled. Actually, she had thought about this at first, but then felt it was unnecessary, since there weren't many masters in the palace now.
"Then you can make the arrangements to try it out in our palace first! I can invite some ladies over so they can experience the atmosphere of a buffet!"
"This way of eating is better; you can actually try it at their place too!"
Han Luoxue... The Empress Dowager's ability to draw inferences from one instance to another is too strong; I am ashamed of myself for not being able to do it!
"Alright, I'll discuss it with the Imperial Kitchen first. Grandmother, please compile a list of invitees and find out what they like to eat most. Even though this is a buffet, we'll try our best to include everyone's favorite dishes..."
The Empress Dowager nodded, even more satisfied with Han Luoxue.
Who says this village woman is ignorant? Just like that idea, could an ordinary lady from a respectable family come up with it?
Han Luoxue went back to make arrangements with great enthusiasm, but unexpectedly, a big mess still happened outside.
...
Zhou Jie specifically called Zhou Jun back, asking her to spend more time with Wang Yan so the two could get to know each other better. If neither of them objected, she would ask her mother to make the decision for them.
This was originally Wang Yan's favorite thing, but there was always someone else by her side.
That Mu Yurou was determined to make things difficult for her. No matter when they went out, Mu Yurou would always quickly run to their side.
Wang Yan was fed up with her and had talked to her about it several times, engaging in open and covert struggles and sarcastic remarks, but Mu Yurou was thick-skinned and wouldn't leave no matter what she was told.
If you put it too seriously, she even shed tears, looking aggrieved.
People who didn't know the situation might have thought that Wang Yan was bullying her.
The key point is that every time she was wronged, it was when Zhou Jun was not around.
"I'm so angry! Mu Yurou did it on purpose!"
Wang Yan asked Zhou Jun to help her find a house, and Mu Yurou was not to be outdone. She rented a house right next to hers, and her intentions couldn't be clearer.
"Oh dear, why are you so angry! Zhou Jun really has no interest in Mu Yurou, no matter how much she tries, it won't work!"
Han Luoxue smiled faintly, while Zhou Jie watched the spectacle with amusement.
"Wang Yan, since you're so worried about Zhou Jun, why don't you just act first and report later!"
Wang Yan looked at Zhou Jie in surprise: "What do you mean by 'acting first and reporting later'?"
"Eat her first, take her down! Make it a fait accompli, then see what she dares to do next."
"If you two really do that, as your good friend, I will definitely stand up for you. Then you will be Zhou Jun's rightful wife. If Mu Yurou shamelessly tries to get close to you again, you can beat her away without hesitation!"
Wang Yan blushed; she wasn't that bold.
Han Luoxue found Wang Yan's shy expression quite amusing.
"I think Sister Zhou's idea is good. If you're really set on him, taking some extreme measures isn't out of the question!"
"Besides, you know what Mu Yurou's situation is now. Her family is even more competitive than her, marrying an old man who is older than her father."
She's been in the capital for several days now. If anyone from the Mu family is here, they must have already received the news; perhaps even the Mu family patriarch knows.
Seeing that the two of them were looking at her curiously, Han Luoxue remained calm: "I was just saying, just listen and don't take it seriously!"
"How could we possibly have thought of this? You think Mu Yurou isn't stupid? How could she not have thought of it?"
Several people nodded in agreement; perhaps Mu Yurou understood this principle as well.
"If you were in that situation, what would you do?"
"Although Mu Yurou knows a lot of people, there aren't many who meet her requirements. Don't forget that she has very high standards!"
"She came to Beijing seeking a glimmer of hope, and clearly, she's now targeting Zhou Jun. If pushed to the limit, she really might resort to some drastic measures!"
Wang Yan's expression changed: "Sister Han, you mean..."
"I was just saying, I don't know if I'll actually do it!" Han Luoxue smiled faintly. She felt that women at this time weren't that open-minded. They probably wouldn't do anything so outrageous!
"this……"
Zhou Jie nodded: "I think that's possible too!"
Wang Yan was speechless. She shook her head and said with certainty, "I've known Mu Yurou for a long time, and I know her better than anyone else. She's not the kind of person who would do anything! Even if she really wanted to be with Zhou Jun, she would never use such despicable means!"
Han Luoxue chuckled...
Wang Yan only knew Mu Yurou in her normal state, but sometimes, when a woman goes crazy, she is not someone that ordinary people can match.
Now she hopes that Wang Yan's judgment is correct.
"Sister Zhou, do you think this kind of thing can happen? But Zhou Jun's mother doesn't seem to like me very much!"
Speaking of Zhou Jun's mother, Li Shi, Sister Zhou got a headache again: "Sister Xue'er, why is she so stubborn? What's wrong with Yancheng? There are more rich people there than in the capital, yet Aunt Li thinks it's a small, poor, remote place!"
Han Luoxue's lips twitched. It was fortunate that Ouyang Zhen didn't have a mother. Otherwise, a mother-in-law would find her daughter-in-law increasingly unpleasant, and there would be a lot of friction between her and Ouyang Zhen.
"It's always better to be careful!" Han Luoxue said softly.
The group was still chatting casually. They started by talking about Zhou Jun, and then moved on to the exchange meeting.
But the Empress Dowager's suggestion to hold a buffet in the palace was also inevitable.
"Sister Xue'er, you must take me to see the world!"
Wang Yan listened from the side and was secretly alarmed. She had heard that Zhou Jie was related to the Emperor by marriage, but who was Han Luoxue?
Judging from her tone of voice, she seemed quite familiar with the Empress Dowager! Wang Yan was curious, but dared not ask, and could only listen silently from the side.
"Can't you go by yourself?" Han Luoxue rolled her eyes at her.
"Oh dear, didn't you just say that the Empress Dowager only invited some ladies, and I'm not one of them..."
Zhou Jie pouted in dissatisfaction. She had never even tried the palace buffet before. From what Han Luoxue said, she was going to prepare a huge amount of dishes, and then she could go and eat whatever she wanted, as much as she wanted. Just thinking about it made her feel very excited.
"Okay, come find me then!"
Wang Yan was even more surprised. For some reason, she always felt that Han Luoxue's status was higher than hers.
Good heavens, what kind of person has she met? He's incredibly powerful, someone she could never have imagined before.
"Wang Yan!"
The group was still talking when they suddenly heard a loud shout from the courtyard.
Everyone turned around in surprise and saw someone stumbling in.
He was in a hurry, and his steps were unsteady.
Is this Zhou Jun?
"Young Master Zhou, wait for me! Let me explain, I really don't know what happened!"
