Chapter 306 Banquet
Lu Jing really wanted to take Su Qingwan to the garrison outside Beijing. As newlyweds, they didn't want to be separated. However, it was very dangerous for him to go to the suburbs to investigate a case. There were troops from the capital area over there, and the situation was not clear yet. After careful consideration, he still hoped that Su Qingwan would stay in the palace and have fun.
Although Su Qingwan felt a little regretful, she didn't force it. The weather was so hot that it was nice to stay in the mansion.
She checked the luggage Qingyun packed for him, and it was quite adequate. Su Qingwan also put some medicine in it for him. Lu Jing had always been served by Li An. After Li An was promoted, the Jinyiwei was also very busy, so Lu Jing was served by several guards. There was no maid who was adequate. Girls always had to be more careful.
Qingyun's attitude changed quite quickly. As long as Lu Jing treated Su Qingwan sincerely, she would treat him as her son-in-law.
Lu Jing looked at Su Qingwan who was checking her luggage under the lamp, and his heart moved slightly. He hugged her around the waist, holding her warm and soft beauty in his arms. As they were about to be separated for several days, Lu Jing couldn't help but pinch her waist and pull her into his arms.
The two were as sweet as honey after their marriage and had sex frequently. Su Qingwan was already familiar with his movements and tried to hide by twisting her waist, but Lu Jing pressed her down on the soft and comfortable bed.
"Who told me to rest tonight?" Su Qingwan twisted his arm to protest. She was a little overwhelmed by Lu Jing. He was young and energetic, and he tormented her to exhaustion every night. She really couldn't bear it anymore, so she shamelessly begged for rest. Lu Jing agreed, but who knew he would change his mind.
Lu Jing's breathing was already heavy, and he kissed her ear, "I'll be gone for five days, you have plenty of time to rest."
His hands had untied her belt and were touching her soft skin.
Su Qingwan, "..."
She really wanted to prescribe some medicine for him to relieve his strong desire, but she was afraid that it would harm his body.
The next day, Lu Jing woke up at dawn. He had only slept for two hours, but he was in good spirits. He turned sideways and kissed Su Qingwan, then got up to wash and dress.
Su Qingwan was a light sleeper and wanted to get up to see him off after being awakened. Lu Jing had already tidied his clothes. He pushed her back into the soft quilt and leaned over to kiss her on the lips.
"Sleep well. I'm leaving now. If you have any urgent matters, take my token to the Royal Guards. They will obey your orders."
Su Qingwan nodded in a daze.
The land of gentleness is truly a place where heroes gather. Lu Jing forced himself to leave, strode out, and went out in the morning light of the stars and the moon, taking a team of guards with him.
Su Qingwan slept until the afternoon, and no one dared to urge her to eat breakfast. When she woke up and stretched, she couldn't help but sigh, "Finally she left. It's great!"
Qingyun laughed, "Then you said you wanted to accompany the prince on a business trip."
"He likes to hear it. I just use my words to make him happy, and it's not difficult." Su Qingwan rubbed her wrist. She felt sore all over that she wanted to take a nap after lunch.
However, there was still a lot to do in the palace, and it was time for her to entertain the female guests.
According to etiquette, when the Princess Regent holds a banquet, the wives and girls of the third-rank officials in the capital will attend, and the women of the clan are also waiting for the Princess Regent's first banquet.
Su Qingwan thought about it and decided to hold a flower-viewing banquet.
Although the peony season has passed, late spring and early summer are also the flowering season, with various flowers competing for beauty. Flower-viewing banquets are most suitable for female relatives. Viewing flowers, tasting tea, and performing skills are the most foolproof and lively activities in this season.
Qingyun and several other girls were very capable of execution. They said they were going to hold a flower-viewing banquet, and the palace became busy from top to bottom. Su Qingwan also started writing invitations based on the list Chen Lanzhu gave her.
This is not a tedious task. The hostess needs to write a personal invitation to show respect. After writing the invitation, the seats should be arranged according to the marriage relationship of the ladies and girls in each mansion, whether there are any enemies between them, etc. Enemies cannot be arranged at the same table, otherwise it will be a disaster.
The wife of Ningyuan Marquis once organized a ball game. Because of unfamiliar relationships, two families sitting at the same table almost came to blows with sarcastic remarks. If it weren't for Chen Lanzhu, it would have resulted in a disaster.
Although the matter is small, the impact is huge.
This requires a lot of thought, and Su Qingwan has to consider it carefully. After adjusting the seats several times, she still has to check it several times. Chen Lanzhu's list and information are of great help.
Qingyun checked the invitation and couldn't help asking, "Miss, aren't you going to invite the Anping Marquis' Mansion?"
The clan was missing the Anping Marquis's Mansion.
"Not invited!"
Qingyun nodded, knowing why they didn't invite him. "This is the first time the Prince Regent's Mansion is hosting a banquet. If we don't invite the Earl of Anping, it would be like telling everyone in the capital that we have a grudge against the Earl of Anping's Mansion and that they are not welcome."
"Lu Jing is the regent, and I am the Princess of Huainan. I am the boss of the banquet. It is up to me to invite and not invite anyone!" Su Qingwan said calmly, "I don't want to see anyone from their family."
Although the other girls in the Li family have a good reputation except Li Xueying, Su Qingwan is unwilling to deal with them.
"Okay, I got it!"
