Chapter 68 Throw big bait to catch big fish

The moonlight was bright tonight, and Chu Chu stood there dressed in white. The moonlight cast a layer of holy radiance on her body, like a goddess, unstained by dust.

At this time, he had a strange feeling that his wife was waiting for him to come home.

With a smile on her face, Sheng Gu walked to stand in front of Chu Chu, stared at her for a while, then took off her cloak and put it on Chu Chu: "You've been waiting for a long time?"

The coat still carried the body temperature and fragrance of Sheng Gu. Chu Chuqiao blushed and nodded slightly: "I heard that the imperial army went to seal the Hou Mansion today, and I'm a little worried about you."

"Silly girl," Sheng Gu curled his lips and raised his hand to lightly scratch the tip of her nose, "Don't worry, what can happen to me?"

Chu Chu blushed and nodded.

Under the moonlight, in the long street, two boys and girls dressed in white sat next to each other on a stone bench on the street, whispering something that only they could hear.

——

In Tangli Residence, Xue Shu, after washing herself, was leaning on the bed, holding a collection of poems in her hand, and using Qingyu to knead her legs.

"By the way, miss, Princess Yongjia is going to hold a banquet again, and the post has just been sent over," Qingyu said, "It's strange, Princess Yongjia seemed to only like to join in the fun in the past, and she didn't often host banquets, right?"

Xue Shu also nodded and said: "Yes...it's only been a while now. We just finished the flower viewing banquet, and now we have another banquet...What's the deal with this banquet?"

"Isn't it getting cold now? Princess Yongjia asked Si Tiantai to plan the first snowfall this year and plan to hold a...what's it called...in the Plum Garden..." Qingyu frowned, "Cooking snow and cooking tea party! Please

I have asked all the young men and girls in the city. I went to ask specifically, and our young master also received the post."

Xue Shu frowned, feeling that this matter was not easy.

It is not uncommon to cook snow and tea. Literati of all ages have done this. However, for this kind of elegant event, only three or five people, the closest friends, are usually invited. The scale is very small. Like Princess Yongjia, who spreads the venue in such a big place.

, really strange.

Seeing that Xue Shu was thinking about something again, Qingyu coughed lightly, stood up and sat next to Xue Shu, lowering her voice and said: "I heard that Prince Xiaoyao got a load of fine Bitan Piaoxue. He originally wanted to do it for himself."

The one who organized this tea party, but with Princess Xiaoyao’s current reputation, he might not be able to invite so many people, so he asked Princess Yongjia to come forward and ask Princess Yongjia to organize it for him.”

"No wonder." Xue Shu understood.

In fact, the status of nobles in Daliang and Tianhuang is not easy to use nowadays, unless they are the princes born by His Majesty.

After all, the emperor was born through his direct descendants, so how much affection could he have towards his descendants? It would be a kindness to spare them their lives.

Even though Princess Xiaoyao has a father who is a prince, and he can be regarded as growing up under the emperor's knees, in terms of appeal, he is far inferior to Princess Yongjia who has always been in Beijing and is dedicated to joining in the fun everywhere.

"But I don't understand. If you have good tea, shouldn't you save it and drink it yourself? Why does King Xiaoyao seem to be afraid of leaving any leftovers?" Qingyu pouted, "He also invited all the young men and girls in the city...

After the tea party, won’t he have nothing left?”

There are a lot of people in the capital, and a load of tea is probably not enough to share. Qingyu really doesn't know what Prince Xiaoyao is thinking.

"Throwing big bait to catch big fish, I just don't know if someone can take advantage of this opportunity to rise to the top." Xue Shu closed the book with a smile and put it aside casually, "Send this book to Xiang'er tomorrow.

On hand."

Qin Xiang has been living with her these days, and naturally discovered this collection of poems that she holds in her hands every day.

Although Qin Xiang had never been interested in poetry books, when he saw this collection of poems, his face showed a look of shock. He immediately flipped through it several times and coquettishly wanted to borrow it back for two days to read.

Xue Shu naturally agreed and told her to take it with her when she left. But she was in a hurry today and left the collection of poems behind.

Qingyu nodded, and seeing Xue Shu's face looking tired, she got up and made the bed: "Girl, Mr. Chen will be leaving in two days."

"So soon?" Xue Shu took off her cloak and put it on a chair nearby. "You remind me when the time comes and we will see him off."

"Yes." Qingyu was quick with her hands and feet. After making the bed, she put the cloak on the hanger and then stepped back.

——

Early the next morning, Qin Xiang got the book of poems. She calculated the time for Mrs. Shangshu's arrival and sat on the porch holding the book of poems, pretending to read it.

So when Mrs. Shangshu came, she saw her daughter acting uncharacteristically.

Mrs. Shangshu paused and looked up at the sun in the sky: "That's strange. Where did the sun rise today?"

"Mother!" Qin Xiang waved to his mother, "Mom, look, what good things did I get from Shu'er?"

Mrs. Shangshu walked over helplessly, and said as she walked: "Only Shu'er can tolerate your temper. You eat and take food from others every day, and they don't dislike you."

"My daughter picked her own friends, of course they are not bad!" Mrs. Shangshu clearly praised Xue Shu, but Qin Xiang had to put some gold on his face.

Mrs. Shangshu was well aware of her daughter's temperament, so she shook her head and sat down next to her: "Princess Yongjia has issued an invitation to invite all the young ladies and gentlemen in the city to the banquet. You cannot refuse."

Such a grand banquet does not happen often. It is a good opportunity to meet each other. Mrs. Shangshu has to push Qin Xiang out no matter what she says: "I have to go to Xue Mansion in person in the next two days to talk to Shu'er.

Ask her to look at each other for you, Shu'er has good eyesight and will definitely not make a mistake."

Qin Xiang said "hehe" in her heart, thinking that if Xue Shu was allowed to look at her, her life would be in dire straits.

After Mrs. Shangshu finished speaking, she didn't care whether Qin Xiang said anything or not. She had already been attracted by the collection of poems in her hand.

Mrs. Shangshu read through the collection of poems in one breath, and after reading it, she still had some unfinished thoughts.

"Mom, isn't this collection of poems good?" Qin Xiang took the collection of poems from her hand, flipped through it a few times, and muttered, "I don't know where Shu'er got such a good thing, huh, actually

Don’t tell me!”

Mrs. Shangshu came to her senses, snatched the poetry collection from her hand, and hit her on the head: "Why don't you tell me? Don't people give poetry collections to you now? Okay, this

I took the collection of poems away so that I wouldn’t waste it by leaving it here with you!”

"My mother..." Qin Xiang curled his lips speechlessly, wanting to ask himself if he was her biological child.

Mrs. Shangshu couldn't put it down because of this collection of poems. She was too lazy to care about Qin Xiang anymore, so she got up and left.

When she reached the door, Mrs. Shangshu turned around and warned: "Be more at ease with me and don't go to the house to uncover the tiles, otherwise don't blame your mother for being cruel!"

Qin Xiang's eyes lit up, he keenly caught the signal of freedom, and he jumped up from the chair with excitement: "Don't worry, mother!"

Mrs. Shangshu snorted softly and walked away briskly.

Such a good thing must be shown off to her close friends.

Seeing his mother leaving, Qin Xiang curled up the corner of his mouth, hummed a tune and sat back down, with his left foot resting on the table, his right foot resting on his left foot, and his toes swaying.
