Chapter 12: Organizing a Flower Viewing Banquet



"Second brother is right. Our family can hold a flower-viewing banquet in our house. Then we can let third brother and Miss Mu meet each other, and we can confirm it." Wen Zhi thought the idea of ​​holding a flower-viewing banquet was great.

"The Empress has just cultivated a batch of peonies. Ask your mother to go to the palace tomorrow to borrow some back so that the banquet can have a good reputation." Prime Minister Wen thought for a moment.

The current Queen is his youngest daughter. She has a very good relationship with the current Emperor and has an extremely good relationship with his third son Wen Jing. If she knew that Wen Jing's curse was going to be lifted, she would probably leave the palace overnight, let alone borrow a few pots of flowers.

"Then I'll go talk to my mother now and try to hold the flower-viewing banquet as soon as possible!" Wen Ye said as he was about to go out, but was stopped by his uncle.

"Ask your aunt and sisters-in-law to come and help. The sooner the flower viewing banquet is held, the better. Let's work together to find a solution for whatever is missing."

"Okay, uncle, I'll go inform mother, aunt, third aunt and sisters-in-law right away." Wen Ye bowed to them before walking out the door.

At the old lady Wang's place.

When they heard that there was going to be a flower-viewing banquet, the sooner the better, the daughters-in-law were a little confused, but if their mothers-in-law said it had to be done, then it had to be done.

They were all wives in charge of the inner house and were familiar with the procedures for hosting a banquet. After discussing, they decided to hand over the invitations to the men in the family three days later.

The Wen family is the head of the civil officials and is also the maternal family of the current empress. Many people feel honored to be able to attend the Wen family's flower-viewing banquet.

The few of them agreed on the time and process, and everyone made task arrangements. Then they sent someone to inform Prime Minister Wen and others, and preparations for the flower-viewing banquet three days later began in a lively manner.

Early the next morning.

The old lady Wang went to the palace to meet her daughter, the Empress Dowager. After explaining her purpose, the Empress sent someone to deliver a batch of newly cultivated peonies to the Wen Mansion without any regrets.

"Mother, why did you think of holding a flower viewing banquet? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Qing'er, mother tells you, don't get excited. You are still pregnant!" Old Lady Wang looked at her daughter's belly and said a little worriedly.

"Mother, don't worry. I'm not a three-year-old child. The imperial physician came to check my pulse yesterday. Both the child and I are fine. Mother, please talk to me!" Queen Wen Qing pulled her mother and acted coquettishly.

She is the youngest daughter in the family. Not only is she loved by her father and mother, she also has a good relationship with her brothers, who are all sister-con. It was because she was truly in love with the emperor that her father and family agreed.

"Your third brother met a girl yesterday, and the bell he carried with him rang. Qing'er, I want to confirm whether that girl is the one who can break your third brother's curse!" Old Lady Wang answered while looking at her youngest daughter.

"Mother, that's really great. A man as brilliant and successful as my third brother will surely live a long life." Wen Qing was so excited that he spoke incoherently.

"Mother, please see if there is anything missing in the mansion. I will send someone to deliver it. We don't care where the girl comes from, no matter what her status is. As long as she can save Third Brother, she will be the ancestor of our family."

"Qing'er, don't get excited. Mother will make all the arrangements. Once it's confirmed, mother will send someone to inform you that the girl is General Mu's youngest daughter!"

Old Madam Wang took her little daughter's hand and comforted her. She knew that her little daughter was very excited and her hands were still shaking.

"Mother, I know. I am just too happy. Third brother is so lucky. He really got what he waited for!" Wen Qing's eyes were filled with tears.

"May God bless our Wen family and your third brother. I will go to fulfill my wish in a few days." Old Lady Wang also bowed towards the door.

"Mother, but I heard from the Emperor that my second brother and the second master of the Mu family don't seem to get along and they quarrel in the court every day. Will General Mu disagree?"

Wen Qing recalled the headache the emperor got every time the two quarreled over trivial matters, and asked Old Madam Wang uncertainly.

"There is such a thing? There is no grudge between our Wen Mansion and the General's Mansion, so why does he always quarrel with Master Mu?" asked Old Lady Wang in surprise.

"Mother, this is a long story. It seems that it was because the girl that my second brother liked when he was young fell in love with Master Mu. And then..." Wen Qing's voice became lower and lower as he spoke.

"If it affects the third son, I will break his legs. After so many years, he still can't let go. I will go back and talk to the second son's wife and ask her to discipline the second son. He has been married for so many years and still thinks about other women."

Old Madam Wang was really amused by her own stupid son. She still couldn't forget it after all these years. Go back to your room and explain to your wife. It seems that your life has been too easy.

"Mother, just give Second Sister-in-law a heads up, and don't let her know, otherwise Second Brother will be miserable. Those are all past events. Second Brother may just be jealous that Second Master Mu is better than him."

Wen Qing couldn't help laughing out loud when he thought about his second brother being punished by his second sister-in-law.

"Don't sympathize with him, and don't always cover up for him. Next time you quarrel, tell the emperor to take your second brother out and give him a few beatings. See if he dares to quarrel again."

"Mother, my second brother usually loves me very much. He and Master Mu Er just bicker with each other, and there is no deep hatred between them. Mother, just remind my second brother. My second brother loves my third brother so much, he will definitely repair his relationship with Master Mu Er."

"You are right. When mother returns home, she will warn your second brother not to quarrel with Master Mu again, so as not to affect the relationship between the two families."

"Mother, it's a rare opportunity for you to come here. Why don't you stay in the palace for lunch?" Wen Qing's face was full of reluctance.

"Qing'er, mother will come to see you in a few days. Just rest assured and take care of your pregnancy." Old lady Wang looked at her daughter with heartache.

"Don't worry about me, mother. I'm fine. The most important thing right now is to hold the flower viewing banquet. If it really is Miss Mu Wu, we are a perfect match. You and father can rest assured."

"Qing'er, then mother will go back first to help your sisters-in-law." Old Madam Wang was reluctant to let you go, but the matters at home were indeed urgent.

"I'll send someone to take mother out, so she can just catch up with father and elder brother's carriage, so we can go back together and take care of each other." Thinking that the court was about to end, Wen Qing felt that his mother could go back with his father.

After old lady Wang returned home, invitations to the flower-viewing banquet were sent to all the houses. When the first and second wives of the Mu family received the invitations, Mu Si was extremely surprised.

"Is Wen Ye's brain broken? You quarrel with me every day and yet you send us invitations?"

"Uncle, this invitation may not be for you. Could it be for Aunt?"

Murong Shu's words made the whole family laugh, and Mousse touched his head embarrassedly.

"Hey, Shu'er is so smart. You figured this out!"

The whole family simply couldn't stand Mousse. He looked so silly that he was completely different from his usual smart self.
