Chapter 312
Several more days have passed.
All eyes in Luoyang were on the Crown Princess of Yunnan, but she remained secluded and showed no intention of holding a banquet.
She doesn't hold banquets, and no one dares to, for fear of being seen as provoking her if they happen to be there.
For a time when Luoyang City should have been bustling with activity and filled with banquets, it was eerily quiet.
The Chen family.
Looking at Chen Qiang, who was lounging lazily on the couch, showing no trace of the demeanor of a well-bred lady, Madam Chen sighed helplessly: "You've been back for a while now, why haven't you held a banquet yet? Do you know how many people in Luoyang are waiting!"
"Then let them wait," Chen Qiang said indifferently. "I've finally come back and haven't had enough rest yet. I don't want to waste time with those people."
Madam Chen said helplessly, "Although Yunnan is a remote place, it is still a good place. As the Crown Prince's wife, do you think you'd be wronged there?"
Speaking of this, Chen Qiang had a lot of complaints to vent: "You don't know, Mother, the Huo family is a complete mess. The in-laws are at odds, and my husband has to take care of the two elders' affairs. How can there be such a thing in the world?"
The situation in Yunnan is not very stable. In addition to fighting, Huo Shu also has to spend a lot of time with her parents-in-law, leaving her with very little time. How can she be satisfied?
"A chaotic and smoky atmosphere? What's going on?"
“Isn’t it all because of that lost younger sister?” Chen Qiang said with a gloomy expression. “That sister has been missing for over ten years, and it’s not even certain she’s still alive. My in-laws, on the other hand, haven’t recovered from this yet!”
It's been over ten years, and they've probably been reincarnated several times by now, but these two still haven't moved on, and it's up to the young couple to mediate.
Mrs. Chen was helpless.
It is actually possible to find the daughter of the Huo family from back then.
It is said that Mrs. Huo was busy packing her luggage and left for a while. When she returned, the child was gone. Fortunately, it was discovered in time. If a search party had been set up immediately, there was a high chance that the child would have been found.
However, Huo Feiguang was preoccupied with the border and in a hurry to get there, so he forcibly took Madam Huo away, which led to the current situation.
It's a real shame.
"You knew the Huo family was like this all along. We told you not to marry into it, but you still insisted. Now you know how bitter it is?" Madam Chen glanced at her daughter.
Chen Qiang pouted: "Who told Prince Huo to be so handsome?"
Actually, she doesn't regret it now.
Mrs. Chen was completely helpless.
“No matter what, now that you’re back, you need to get back on your feet. Luoyang is not the same as Yunnan,” Madam Chen said. “In Yunnan, the King of Yunnan is the king, but the king in Luoyang is not him.”
Chen Qiang's constant avoidance is not a solution. If this goes on for too long, she might be accused of being arrogant and complacent, which would only bring trouble to the entire Yunnan Prince's Mansion.
Chen Qiang was also a lady from a prominent family; how could she not understand this principle?
She nodded: "Okay, okay, daughter will send out the invitations when she gets back today, alright?"
Since she had said that, Madam Chen naturally smiled and nodded: "Alright, lie down for a while longer. You can't be so lazy starting tomorrow."
Once the banquet is held, the threshold of the Yunnan Prince's Mansion will probably be worn down by the crowds.
Chen Qiang nodded and continued to lie there as if she had no bones.
——
The invitations from the Yunnan Prince's Palace were distributed the following afternoon.
The city of Luoyang, which had been quiet for many days, finally erupted in excitement.
Everyone attached great importance to this banquet, and the Changping Marquis's residence was no exception.
Madam Zheng summoned Yunwan to Rongxi Hall and specifically addressed the matter: "The Yunnan Prince's Mansion will be hosting a banquet in a couple of days. Prepare the gifts in advance and send me the gift list to take a look. You will come with me then, and you must be extra careful during the banquet."
Now, after hearing what Aunt Chen said, Yun Wan's attitude towards Zheng Shi was quite subtle. Naturally, their interactions were not as natural as before, and there was a deliberate distance between them: "Daughter-in-law understands."
