Xiao Cunyu moved too slowly, and Xiong's patience was limited. After a while, she even asked the maid to come in and help her change clothes.
Judging from the situation, she can't escape.
We can only take one step at a time. I hope the little girls are born with a pair of discerning eyes and don't fall in love with her.
After a while, Xiao Cunyu came out dressed neatly.
Xiong took a quick look and felt that there was a piece of jade missing from her waist. She asked the servants to go to her eldest brother's room and pick out a good one. Then she nodded slightly with satisfaction: "This is more suitable. In our family, you and Sanlang are the best looking ones."
Xiao Cunyu smiled with his face but not his heart.
"There are many children of the same age here today, so don't be impolite." Xiong said again.
Xiong had already informed the Princess of the County. Those who had children at home all wanted to have a wider range of candidates to look for, so the lists of good girls and good boys in their hands were almost the same.
The ones that Xiong showed Xiao Cunyu were part of the long list.
There are definitely quite a few girls going to the Prince's Mansion for the banquet today.
Xiao Cunyu was quite panicked at first, but then he thought that as long as she didn't mess around, most likely nothing would happen. So he just treated it as meeting his good brothers and there was no harm in going.
The Prince's Mansion is indeed bustling today.
The Princess of the County was quite influential, and when she invited him, all the families in the capital with children of marriageable age were willing to make the trip.
Moreover, the young girls are cooped up in their boudoirs all day long and have few opportunities to go out. If they want to meet someone, most of them use this method of holding a banquet, which is nothing strange.
Male and female guests naturally cannot sit together, but they should be seated too far apart.
The seats were arranged in half around the pavilion in the middle of the garden, so that they could see clearly without offending them.
All the unmarried men in Wanjun Academy came. In addition to them, there were also some famous men in the capital.
For example, the son of the Duke of Wei, the unmarried son of the Yuan family, the loyal prince’s maternal family…
Of course, Prince Fengping was helpless. Since it was a dinner party, he had to invite one or two guests from each of the families related to the royal forces.
If we invite Prince Rui's people but not Prince Qin's people, Prince Qin will definitely think too much. If we invite the young men from the two princes' factions, we can't leave out the people from the second prince's family either...
In this way, the banquet will be grand.
There are quite a few people.
"I didn't expect that so many people would come to give you gifts on your birthday. It's really glorious!" Zhou Jingmao said deliberately.
Ying Hui gave a bitter smile. "My mother has had a headache for several days. I originally wanted to invite you all over, but... our reputations are really average. If it were just us, we wouldn't have the nerve to invite other girls over."
The reason for inviting the little girl over was certainly not to celebrate Ying Hui's birthday, but to invite her to a gathering in the name of Ying Hui's sister, Xiaoxianjun.
Zhou Jingmao's face lit up a bit: "My father said, your sister..."
"Be careful what you say!" Ying Hui quickly blocked his mouth. "My father did have that intention, but you... you can't do it. My sister doesn't like you."
"What's wrong with me!?" Zhou Jingmao was unconvinced.
He is quite motivated now!
"You're too dark." Ying Hui replied awkwardly, "My sister has seen you before."
"Black!?" Zhou Jingmao was so angry that his heart sank, and then he secretly glared at the female guest. He looked over and saw the young county lady, who was also looking at him.
Their eyes met and they all glared at each other fiercely.
It's true that they dislike each other.
Zhou Jingmao bared his teeth and said, "Xiao Qi, the county lord seems to be looking at you?"
