Chapter 260 Magpie
The next day, Xie Guimo held a banquet at Deyue Tower to thank Prince Yu.
When Xie Guimo arrived at Deyue Tower, Chu Yi and Lu Li happened to come over on horseback. When they saw Xie Guimo, Chu Yi first looked up at the sky and said, "Didn't the sun rise from the west today? Brother Guimo didn't accompany his sister-in-law, but came to Deyue Tower for dinner."
Xie Guimo said, "Prince Yu recommended my wife's fourth uncle. I will treat him to a meal."
Chu Yi said, "It's more fun when there are more people eating together. Lu Li and I will have a meal together."
Xie Guimo looked at the two of them and asked, "Are you sure you want to eat this meal?"
Not all meals can be eaten for free.
Chu Yi and Lu Li looked at each other, then smiled and said, "Prince Yu invited you, we didn't dare to take advantage of it, but you invited Prince Yu, why shouldn't we dare?"
Xie Guimo didn't mind them eating for free. With them accompanying him, Prince Yu would enjoy his meal to the fullest.
The three of them entered Deyue Tower together and went into the private room on the second floor.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Prince Yu arrived. He pushed the door open and saw Chu Yi and Lu Li were also there. Prince Yu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Prince Jingyang is really nice."
Xie Guimo said, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't ask them out, I just happened to run into them, and they knew I was treating you to a meal, so they wanted to get a free meal."
Prince Yu, "..."
Chu Yi and Lu Li raised their glasses to toast Prince Yu, "Prince Yu, do you mind if we join you for dinner?"
Prince Yu smiled and raised his glass, "It's more fun when there are more people."
Prince Yu has always envied Xie Guimo, and envied the harmonious relationship between Xie Guimo and Prince Jingyang. One can teach his son a lesson, and the other can talk back. He has always been cautious in front of the emperor. That kind of father-son relationship is what he longs for, but he may never have it in his lifetime. In addition, Xie Guimo has good brothers like Chu Yi and Xiao Xun who are not real brothers but are better than real brothers.
In the dispute between him and the King of Qi for the throne, more than half of the courtiers took sides, but there were also many who did not, such as the King of Jingyang, the Marquis of Xuanyi, the Minister of War and others.
Prince Yu and Prince Qi had tried to win him over, but failed, but he unexpectedly recommended Fourth Master Shen and asked Xie Guimo to treat him to a meal, and Chu Yi and Lu Li would be together.
Although it is called free meal, everyone knows that it is not as simple as free meal.
If he could win over Prince Jingyang, Marquis Xuanyi and the Minister of War, and have these people advising him from behind, his position as crown prince would be almost certain.
As they drank, Chu Yi said, "It's a good thing I came to eat for free. Prince Duan is too slow."
Before he finished speaking, the door was pushed open and Xiao Xun came in and said, "You said I was taking my time, but you guys let me treat you and you came here to eat for free."
Tomorrow Prince Duan's mansion will hold a wedding banquet, and the day after tomorrow his daughter will be married off. Xiao Xun asked Chu Yi and Lu Li to be roadblocks. He couldn't let Xiao Huan marry his own sister too easily. Chu Yi and Lu Li asked Xiao Xun to treat them to a meal, but they didn't expect that Xie Guimo would invite Prince Yu, so they went together.
Prince Yu smiled and said, "I have never been a roadblocker."
Xiao Xun immediately raised his glass and said, "If we can invite a prince to be the roadblocker, my Prince Duan's Mansion will be well prepared. I wonder if Prince Yu is willing to do us a favor?"
Prince Yu clinked his glasses and said, "I'll join in the fun."
They both drank the wine in their glasses.
Xiao Xun wanted to thank Guimo, but Xie Guimo said, "Don't even think about hitting on me."
Chu Yi said, "Xiao Huan is Brother Gui Mo's brother-in-law. If Brother Gui Mo dares to be unfaithful, he will probably have to sleep in the study after drinking the wedding wine."
Xie Guimo nodded, "You should listen to him. He is an experienced person."
Chu Yi, "……!!!"
Vomiting blood.
It immediately revealed that he had been forced to sleep in the study.
Xiao Xun and Lu Li couldn't stop laughing, even Prince Yu's shoulders were shaking.
Lu Li even revealed the embarrassing incident in the bridal chamber to Prince Yu, and Chu Yi almost killed Lu Li in front of Prince Yu.
The meal was filled with laughter and conversation. Prince Yu had never enjoyed a meal so happily before. Even the last time he and Xie Guimo had a meal together, it wasn't so interesting.
It is true that dining is more lively when there are more people.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Xiao Huan married Princess Roujia.
The weather was fine, with a cloudless blue sky.
Chen Tang was going to help out at Prince Ning's Mansion, so he got up a quarter of an hour earlier than usual, and went to Prince Ning's Mansion with Xie Guimo after breakfast.
When Chen Tang arrived, Chen Sui had already arrived, and the Fourth Master and the Fourth Mistress were also there, but the Third Mistress and the Old Lady had not yet arrived.
The Ning Wang Mansion was decorated with lights and the servants' faces were all filled with smiles. They couldn't help but be happy. The Crown Prince was marrying Princess Roujia, and the old prince and princess were so happy that they rewarded everyone in the mansion with a full year's worth of monthly wages.
The Ning Prince's Mansion hasn't been this lively for a long time. Now that we have a Crown Prince and a Crown Princess, and if we have a few more young masters and princesses, I dare not imagine how lively those days will be.
Old Princess Ning was even more beaming with smiles. She had been looking forward to this day for so long. When she saw Chen Tang, she was as kind to her as if she were seeing her own granddaughter. If she hadn't been afraid that the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion would worry that she would turn around and talk to Xiao Huan and Chen Tang, Old Princess Ning really wanted Chen Tang to call her grandmother.
Shen Tang greeted Old Princess Ning, and the maid came in and said, "Madam, Madam Shen is here."
After waiting for half a cup of tea, the old lady came in. Princess Ning stood up to greet her, "Finally she's here."
Princess Ning was such a high-ranking person. She stood up to greet him and gave the old lady enough face. The old lady was a little terrified and said, "I don't dare to worry."
Princess Ning smiled and said, "You and I are both Huan'er's grandmothers. We can take this responsibility. Please take a seat."
On the Arhat couch, Princess Ning and the old lady sat on each side, which really seemed like they were on equal terms.
The Third Madam smiled and said, "Just now when I was accompanying the old lady out of the Marquis's Mansion, a magpie flew over the gate of the Marquis's Mansion and kept chirping. It's a very good omen."
The magpie is a bird that brings good news.
When the magpie calls, good things are coming.
The fourth wife said, "There must be a big happy event in our mansion."
The Third Wife said, "That's what I thought too. The Fourth Master was promoted two levels, but there was no magpie to announce the good news. All the way to Prince Ning's Mansion, I was wondering how good the good news must be to alarm the magpie to come to the door first to announce the good news."
A guess flashed through Shen Tang's mind, making her inexplicably excited, "Could it be that he has found his second brother?"
For the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, finding the second young master Chen Xing who had been missing for more than ten years was really good news, especially when the eldest young master Chen Yan married into the family.
The old lady said, "Tang'er's words are always accurate. I hope the magpie really reported the news about your second brother."
Princess Ning said, "The magpie will announce good news soon. Maybe there will be good news today."
Chen Tang nodded, and kept praying in his heart.
Guests arrived in an endless stream. The Third and Fourth Madams went to greet the guests. Chen Tang, Chen Luo and Chen Ran all helped and were very busy. Even Chen Xi came, but she was young and they were afraid that she would run around, so she was kept by the old lady and was not allowed to go anywhere.
Chen Tang was greeting those ladies from wealthy families, her face almost stiff with smiles, when a maid came to report that the bridal sedan had reached the front street and would arrive in a quarter of an hour.
Princess Ning and the old lady went to the front yard, and the ladies from the upper class also went to watch the fun.
Firecrackers exploded and the bridal sedan stopped in front of the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion.
Xiao Huan got off the horse, wanted to shoot arrows, and helped Princess Roujia get out of the sedan chair.
Just as he took the bow, he heard the sound of horse hooves. A servant rode over, tightened the reins and said, "Master, we found the second young master!"
