The Crown Prince and Yue Chengyu basically spent the past two or three days in the imperial study. Except for attending court and going out for emergencies, they hardly ever left the study.
As for what happened next, Ye Han didn't continue to pay attention.
"Princess, this is an invitation from the Duke of Anguo's Mansion." Zhihua said as she handed the invitation to Ye Han.
"Duke Anguo's Mansion?"
Ye Han retrieved the information about the Anguo Mansion in his mind. Like the Ye family, the Anguo Mansion also belonged to a military family. However, compared to the Ye family, the Anguo Mansion belonged to an old and powerful family.
The establishment of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion can be traced back to the establishment of the Dai Viet Dynasty. The original old man led the army to make great contributions and turned the situation around in a key war. This battle can be said to have laid a solid foundation for the establishment of Dai Viet. After the situation stabilized, he was named Duke of Anguo.
The descendants of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion are also outstanding. Although they were unable to make the Duke of Anguo's Mansion go further, they also preserved the prosperity of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion. It can be said that among the powerful families at the beginning of the founding of the country, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion was one of the few families that did not show signs of decline.
Ye Han opened the post and saw that it was the Duke's wife inviting him to attend a garden party the day after tomorrow.
Ye Han knew that every spring, when flowers bloomed, the ladies of the powerful and influential circles would take turns hosting the event, inviting the ladies of each family to enjoy the flowers. Her mother participated every year and even played host.
This year it is the turn of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is the diplomacy of the ladies, and they chat about gossip and match the suitable men and women between each family. Sometimes, a few ladies who don't get along will openly mock and veil each other and pull each other's hair.
It was quite a spectacle. Ye Han had attended a few of these gatherings with Madam Ye when he was younger, but he grew tired of them and chose not to go if possible. After all, the main characters of these gatherings were the matriarchs of each household, and the ladies of each family were just passing attendees.
Ye Han was now feeling a bit of a headache looking at this post. It had been okay not to attend before, after all, she had just been there, and at most, if someone asked her about it, no one would care. But now her status was different, she had become Princess Rui, so it would be inappropriate for her not to attend.
"Zhihua, please be there on time for the reply meeting."
Ye Han conveyed the main idea to Zhihua, and as for how to write the reply, Zhihua was responsible for polishing it. After Zhihua finished writing, she showed it to Ye Han, and if there was no problem, she sent it to the wife of the Duke of Anguo.
"Oh!" Ye Han sighed. Thinking about the various occasions in the future that he couldn't avoid, his head hurt even more.
In fact, right after the wedding, many invitations and visiting cards were sent to him, but Ye Han rejected them all on the grounds that he was busy and had no time.
Everyone understands that he has no time to take over the accounts of the mansion after getting married. It is understandable. In fact, the person who sent the invitation also knows that Ye Han will definitely refuse. He just wants to show his presence. After all, it is his business if he has no time, but if you don't send the invitation, then it is your problem.
But now that almost a month has passed, it's no longer possible to refuse. As the Princess of Rui, Ye Han can't completely follow her own ideas and preferences in socializing.
Two days passed in a flash, and soon it was the day of the garden party.
Early in the morning, Ye Han was called up to dress up.
"Princess, how about this one?" Zhihua asked, holding a gorgeous and eye-catching dress.
"No, change into something else."
"The princess will absolutely stun in this dress."
"You also know that this outfit will amaze everyone. We are going to attend the garden party, not to ruin it. We have stolen the limelight from the host. If they are generous, they will just feel uncomfortable for a while. If they are petty, we will inexplicably gain an enemy." Ye Han explained with a smile.
"It's fine for us to just dress modestly, so as not to embarrass the palace and give them nothing to talk about. Unless absolutely necessary, we shouldn't be the first to stick our heads out!"
Are you kidding? The first tree to stick its head out gets shot. It's not like you have nothing to do, so why do you want to outshine the whole crowd?
Zhihua nodded and changed her fashionable clothes into a more low-key one.
"Princess, is this okay?"
Ye Han looked at the new outfit Zhihua had brought out. It was bright and elegant, suitable for her age without losing her status as a princess. Most importantly, it didn't look lost in the crowd, nor did it steal the show from her host.
"That's it." Ye Han nodded with satisfaction.
So, wherever there are people, things can be difficult. For this garden party, even just the clothes required careful consideration of every aspect.
After packing up, Ye Han saw that it was almost time, so he set off for the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.
"Madam, Princess Rui is here." The Duke's wife was chatting with a few ladies with whom she had a good personal relationship in her own garden. When she heard that Princess Rui had arrived, a smile appeared on her face.
"Please come in."
"Princess Rui, please."
Ye Han smiled and nodded at the servant who led the way.
Soon, they walked through the corridor and arrived at the garden of the Duke's Mansion, which was also the venue for this garden party.
"Your Majesty greets Princess Rui." The Duke's wife and the ladies who arrived early bowed together.
Ye Han had an impeccable smile on his face and said, "Ladies, please stand up. You are all seniors, and this is really embarrassing for the juniors." As he said this, he reached out and helped up the Duke's wife in front of him.
"You are too modest, Princess. You are the Princess, so it's only natural." Although the Duke's wife said this, her smile was obviously even wider. It was obvious that she had a good first impression of Ye Han.
The other ladies nodded inwardly. Except for a beautiful woman standing at the back with an unclear expression, no one noticed at the moment.
Ye Han exchanged a few pleasantries with the Duke's wife and several ladies who had arrived earlier, and then said no more. He sat down in his seat, ate snacks, and listened to their conversation.
Ye Han arrived relatively early. Before her, only a few ladies who had a good personal relationship with the Duke's wife had arrived.
After that, all the talented people arrived one after another, including Ye Han's own mother, Madam Ye, and the Crown Princess.
