The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 57 Invitation
(The easter egg at the end of Chapter 56 is the floor plan of Prince Yong's Mansion drawn by the author, you can go and have a look!)
April 22, in the palace garden.

After Huang Rongrong expressed her views on the garden and put forward suggestions for renovation, the masons and florists of Gongzheng Institute moved into the garden here.

Xue Baojun was very unhappy about this, but she had to bear it no matter how upset she was.

Fortunately, these craftsmen did not dismantle the garden indiscriminately, but rebuilt the garden step by step, so that the palace garden as a whole is perfect.

But in other parts of the palace, internal renovations are in full swing.

The courtyard wall was thickened, and a platform was built around the wall inside, and people could stand on it for defense.

All the gates in the palace were reinforced with iron bars and planks, but the outermost front was too eye-catching and was not further modified.

The sound of training in the school field next to it was loud, and the sound of hammering iron in the craftsmen's area behind the palace continued...

If Xue Baoyun hadn't known about the monster, maybe even she would have doubted whether her husband was going to raise the flag to rebel.

Walking up the corridor leading to the island in the middle of the lake, Xue Baoyun was looking at the scenery while thinking about tomorrow's banquet.

In order to establish a relationship with the dignitaries of Longyou, Xue Baoyun sent out invitations today to invite the female relatives of various mansions to watch the peach blossoms in the palace.

On the island in the middle of the lake, a stone tablet of "Peach Blossom Island" has been erected, and more than a dozen maidservants are busy on it.

Although it is to appreciate peach blossoms, it is not enough to only have peach blossoms, and all kinds of potted plants have to be placed.

The palace is rich, so no matter what rare plants, as long as they can be bought, they can all enter the palace.

And these matters are all decided by Xue Baoyun alone, and Shi Si, the head of the palace, will follow suit.

"See Princess!" All the maids saluted.

After waving his hand, signaling to everyone to do their own work, Xue Baoyun looked around.

This banquet was called by her, and she needed to check every aspect of it, and there must be no mistakes.

Just as Xue Baojun directed the maidservants to fine-tune the flowers and trees on the road, the maid Yuzhu walked over quickly.

"See you, empress!" Yu Zhu bowed down and saluted.

"Have you sent them all out?" Xue Baoyun walked to the gazebo and sat down.

"My lady, I have sent out the invitations, and they will all be delivered before dark!" Yuzhu replied.

Xue Baojun nodded, her eyes were full of expectation, but at the same time, she was also faintly worried.

Why worry?Because this banquet is a temptation, since the temptation may get unsatisfactory results.

"I hope everything goes well!" Xue Baoyun said to himself.

Her heart suddenly felt heavy, the predicament of the palace in Longyou, and the doomsday that her husband was always thinking about made her feel a little blocked.

The island in the middle of the lake is going to hold a banquet, and the reconstruction of it is bound to be put on hold. The most unhappy person is Huang Rongrong.

At this moment, she was sitting in her room, not responding to a table of delicacies, apparently sulking.

"No, I'm going to sue the prince!" Huang Rongrong stood up suddenly.

"Your Majesty, don't be petty..." Maid Lan'er hastily tried to persuade her, her eyes turned to the door at the same time, as if she was waiting for someone to come.

"Humph……"

Huang Rongrong let out a cold snort, only to hear a clear voice from outside: "Don't stop her... let her go crazy!"

Hearing this, Lan'er's little expression became even more aggrieved, how could the reinforcements brought in secretly become the enemy.

But Lin Jingyu walked into the room with several maids.

To Lin Jingyu, Huang Rongrong has always been a caring and good sister, but when she heard that Lin Jingyu didn't comfort her, she became even more irritable.

"Just go...you all bully me, I want the prince to make the decision for me!"

As a favorite concubine, Huang Rongrong is of course qualified to say this, and this is also the capital of her acting coquettishly domineering.

But when she walked to the door, Lin Jingyu said with a cold face: "If you go... the prince will despise you!"

Huang Rongrong was not afraid of anything, but she was afraid of losing Zhao Yanxun's favor, so she stopped right now.

Seeing that the little ancestor stopped making troubles, Lin Jingyu said to the maids in the room: "Everyone back down!"

When Lin Jingyu spoke, all the maids present obeyed the order, only Lan'er looked at Huang Rongrong with worry when she went out.

After everyone retreated, only Lin Jingyu and Huang Rongrong were left in the room.

After walking to the table and sitting down, Lin Jingyu said coldly: "Come back and sit down!"

Even though she was reluctant, Huang Rongrong came over and sat down opposite Lin Jingyu in a fit of anger.

"You want to sue, who do you want to sue?"

"Of course it's the princess. She didn't even say hello, but she asked those servants to stop working. It's really deceiving!"

Hearing this, Lin Jingyu was so angry that she wanted to laugh, who is really arrogant.

It seems that this little ancestor didn't listen to what he said in Wolong Temple.

If it wasn't for Huang Rongrong's lack of scheming and being able to talk to her, Lin Jingyu would not want to say anything at the moment.

"Wangfei still wants to greet you when she does something, is there such a reason under the sun?" Lin Jingyu's tone was cold.

Huang Rongrong panicked for a while, could it be that even Sister Lin hated her and wanted to break up with her?
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Lin Jingyu couldn't help being a little bit unbearable, this little girl's eyes are too seductive, no wonder the prince loves her so much.

Changing her earnest tone, Lin Jingyu went on to say: "Don't scare me around, the concubine is doing important things for the prince, do you want to spoil the prince's affairs?"

"What's the big deal? What's the big deal?" Huang Rongrong looked confused.

Picking up the teacup, Lin Jingyu said thoughtfully: "It's a matter of great importance to the safety of the palace, and you won't understand it if you tell me!"

In fact, Lin Jingyu didn't fully understand what was going on at the moment, so she couldn't explain it to Huang Rongrong.

At this moment, I only heard Lin Quan's voice from outside: "Your Majesty... Your Highness invites you to go over and say that you have found a little thing and want to give it to your Majesty!"

This place was Huang Rongrong's residence, so Lin Quan's words were naturally passed on to her.

She was in a bad mood at first, but when she heard the news, a smile appeared on Huang Rongrong's face.

Seeing her happy appearance, Lin Jingyu said seriously: "When you see the prince later, don't say anything about the concubine, so as not to annoy the prince!"

Seeing Lin Jingyu's solemnity, Huang Rongrong could only nod her head. She believed that Lin Jingyu would not harm him.

Looking at her leaving back, Lin Jingyu secretly said: "Silly girl, maybe the prince doesn't love you as much as you imagined!"

…………

In the evening, Yuanyang Mansion and Beicheng Cheng Mansion.

In the study room, Chief Minister Cheng Wenguang was writing, and next to him were two maids holding lamps and adding ink.

Practicing calligraphy is Cheng Wenguang's little hobby. Whenever he returns home from outside the Yamen, he will first go to the study to write a picture.

As the head of the family, Cheng Wenguang set rules for the family members, and no one was allowed to disturb the person he wrote after the incident, even his own son.

But there was only one exception, and that was Cheng Wenguang's married wife, Liu Shi. At this moment, Liu Shi walked in front of Cheng Wenguang from the door.

"My lord, today the Prince Yong's Mansion sent invitations to us ladies and gentlemen, and it was the princess who invited us to visit the garden outside!"

Taking the ink stick from the servant girl's hand, Mrs. Liu said while grinding it: "Old sisters from other families have found our house... Let this concubine make up her mind whether to go or not!"

"I don't have much knowledge, sir, tell me...to go or not to go?"

After Liu's words fell, Cheng Wenguang also stopped the pen in his hand. At this moment, his eyes were fixed on a picture written on the table, and he seemed very satisfied.

Putting down the pen, Cheng Wenguang said: "Go... just look at the flowers and plants, it's not a big deal!"
