Covering her injured ear, Tian Yu rushed to Li Xingyun's residence. The two servants outside the door said that Li Xingyun was inside and they didn't dare to disturb him. Tian Yu waved them away and knocked on the door, saying, "Brother, I'm coming in." Without waiting for Li Xingyun's reply, she pushed the door open and went inside.
Li Xingyun looked up at Tian Yu and asked, "What is it now?"
Tian Yu covered her ears and said, "I got bitten by a dog, brother, can you check if it's infected?" After saying that, Tian Yu brought her head close to Li Xingyun's face.
"It's nothing! Just apply some medicine and it'll be fine." Li Xingyun said, handing Tian Yu a medicine bottle.
"That's good!"
"If you have nothing else to do, then hurry up and leave! Don't bother me!"
"You! I've already informed my parents, and Xiao Wu should arrive in a few days."
"eventful!"
"You refused even when I offered to send two servants, so I had no choice but to send Xiao Wu. Although Xiao Wu is a bit noisy, he is very loyal to you and is familiar with your daily life."
"Is there anything else?" Li Xingyun asked, putting down the book in his hand.
"It's nothing much, I just wanted to ask if you'd like to come since I'm hosting a dinner party in the courtyard tomorrow, since it's the beginning of winter."
"Whom should we invite?"
"Princess!"
"You're amazing! Are you planning to turn your love rival into a friend or family?!"
"No, it's just that I was thinking there might be other ways to solve this, so why not give it a try?"
Who are you trying to scheme against this time?
"I didn't scheme against anyone. Besides, how can this be considered scheming? Who wouldn't want to be a prince consort!"
"Just don't mess it up."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Do you want to come along?"
"I'm not going!"
"There's going to be a good show, aren't you coming?"
Li Xingyun glanced at Tian Yu, shook his head speechlessly, and continued reading, ignoring Tian Yu. Tian Yu smiled, indicating that he had agreed.
As Li Xingyun happily took the medicine and prepared to leave, he put down his book and said, "Does the Marquis know?"
"I know! He'll come too."
"Did he bite your ear?"
Tian Yu pouted and didn't answer. Li Xingyun sighed and said, "Have you ever thought about what would happen to you and Tangyuan if the Marquis really married the princess?"
"I've thought about it. If all else fails, I can just go back to my hometown and farm!"
"Farm?! There's no land for you to farm!"
"They wouldn't really want to kill us, would they?!" Tian Yu had barely finished speaking when she looked at Li Xingyun and her eyes suddenly turned cold. She trembled as she said, "No way! The princess doesn't seem like that kind of person."
"She doesn't want to, but what about the people behind her!?"
Tian Yu hesitated for a moment, then carefully said, "I've also been wondering if this is a conspiracy. The attacks in Shancheng all ended without serious harm, and it was the same on the way to Beijing. I initially thought it was just good luck, but we still haven't found the culprit. Although we have suspects, we don't have any evidence. But these past few days, I suddenly thought of something..."
"What are you thinking about?" Li Xingyun asked.
"No way!" Tian Yuxian said, denying herself.
What came to mind?
Tian Yu looked at Li Xingyun and said, "They deliberately sent me to the capital!"
Li Xingyun was also somewhat surprised, but upon reflection, it wasn't impossible. Why would someone do that? He couldn't figure it out either. Calming down, he asked Tian Yu, "Did you tell the Marquis?"
"No! This is just my guess, and since we've encountered so many things since arriving in Beijing, we haven't had a chance to talk properly."
"Is it that you don't have time, or that you don't want to talk?!"
Tian Yu lowered her head and said, "Yes, I have everything! He won't tell me anything, and I... I don't know how to tell him either."
"This is your business, you can handle it yourselves! I don't want to get involved!"
"Who asked you to interfere! This is just my guess. Don't tell him, or it might just cause him unnecessary trouble."
"knew!"
After returning from Li Xingyun's place, Tian Yu began to work on the guest list. To be on the safe side, she only invited Prince Wu, Huang Xuan, Fang Jue, and a few people from her own courtyard. To make it more formal, she even wrote invitations and sent them over. She had originally wanted to invite Gongye Ming, but he might be busy lately and wouldn't be able to come often. Considering his status, Tian Yu thought better of it; it would be a real shame to waste such a handsome man!
To prepare for this meal, Tian Yu, along with Green Willow and Autumn Chrysanthemum, went to the morning market early in the morning, almost shopping through half of the capital. They finally bought what Tian Yu wanted and bumped into Jiang Yuanyuan on the street. During their conversation, Tian Yu learned that since their separation that day, they had come to the capital and were staying with distant relatives. So Tian Yu invited her as well. Back in the courtyard, there was another flurry of activity preparing various ingredients and snacks. Once everything was ready, the invited guests arrived one after another. Tian Yu invited everyone to the front hall, introduced them one by one, and presented the prepared snacks, telling them to make themselves at home. Prince Wu and Zhao Moyan hadn't arrived yet. Tian Yu craned her neck at the door, thinking, "These two are really making a big fuss. Why aren't they here yet? Maybe they're not coming at all?"
The princess also came looking for her and asked, "Isn't Brother Moyan coming?"
"Don't worry! I'm coming back."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Prince Wu's carriage heading towards them. Tian Yu thought to herself, "Now that the prince has come, Zhao Moyan won't break his promise, will he? What should I do?"
After Prince Wu's carriage stopped, Zhao Moyan got off the carriage with him. Tian Yu breathed a sigh of relief and winked at the princess. The princess had been eager to greet him, but out of politeness, she smiled and stepped forward to greet him after seeing Tian Yu's wink. Tian Yu gave a casual bow and said with dissatisfaction, "You can even be late for a meal."
Seeing that the two were looking at her at the same time, Tian Yu immediately greeted them with a smile and said, "It's nothing! Please come in, you two distinguished guests."
