Chu Xuanchi pondered for a moment, "Since the wedding, except for going to the East Palace a few days ago, I have never taken the princess out."
"Since Xue'er wants to go so much, and my seventh brother has personally come to deliver the invitation, then I will go with the princess to take a look."
He was indeed feeling better, but if he continued to hide in the palace, Emperor Wenzong would inevitably become suspicious again and think that he was secretly planning something.
Mu Xueyan smiled happily, "Thank you, Brother Prince Yu, Your Highness Prince Rui, you are so kind to give Xueer such a big surprise as soon as you arrived."
Prince Rui said in a cold voice, "I should be the one thanking you. I didn't dare to send this invitation to my fifth brother, so I took this opportunity to come."
Mu Xueyan was puzzled, "Why not? Is Brother Yu Wang so scary?"
Prince Rui explained, "No, it's because my fifth brother has been away from Shengjing for many years, and the relationship between us brothers has become unfamiliar. I am afraid that it would be too abrupt."
Chu Xuanchi had previously suspected that he had acted on impulse, but now he had evidence to prove that King Rui had not originally planned to invite him.
King Rui had originally planned to have a meal here, so he deliberately came here before lunch, and it was lunch time not long after they started chatting.
During the meal, Chu Xuanchi drank a few cups of tea with him instead of wine. Although the topics they talked about were unimportant, they still had a good chat.
Prince Rui went back after lunch, while Chu Xuanchi and Mo Zhaohua went back to the backyard to rest.
Chu Xuanchi has been on high alert since returning to Shengjing. "I wonder what Old Seven is up to."
Mo Zhaohua frowned, "As my husband's health gets better, I'm afraid there will be more and more invitations to the mansion in the future."
Chu Xuanchi also thought about this, "It doesn't matter. Since I'm back in Shengjing, I will have to face these sooner or later."
Mo Zhaohua was thinking about Chu Xuanhan's wedding, "Why do I feel like this month has passed so slowly? I haven't even reached the age of twenty-eight yet."
"Zhao Zhao is too anxious. I feel that time has passed too quickly. In the blink of an eye, we have been married for more than a month."
From the sixth day of August to today, it has been exactly forty days since Chu Xuanchi got married, but he feels as if the wedding with Mo Zhaohua was just yesterday.
"Has it been more than a month? My husband's legs are almost feeling better. We need to find another opportunity to take a medicinal bath. It will take three times to see the effect."
After three medicinal baths, half a month of drinking medicine, and at least one month of acupuncture, Mo Zhaohua was confident that he could regain some consciousness.
Chu Xuanchi's heartbeat quickened when he heard this. "I'll think about it carefully these few days and try to pick her up again before Old Six's wedding."
***
Two days later, in the afternoon, at Prince Rui’s Palace.
Chu Xuanchi and Mo Zhaohua brought Mu Xueyan to the banquet.
As soon as Mu Xueyan got off the carriage, she said, "This lion is smaller than the one in front of Prince Yu's palace."
Chu Xuanchi immediately lowered his voice and warned, "Xue'er, don't say this in front of outsiders in the future."
There is an unwritten rule in Shengjing City that the auspicious beast in front of the mansion represents the specifications of the mansion.
The specifications of Prince Rui's Palace are not as good as those of Prince Yu's Palace, so the lions are naturally smaller. Everyone else knows this, except Mu Xueyan.
If she said it out loud, it would embarrass Prince Rui. If others heard it, it would easily give her a chance to talk about it and implicate Chu Xuanchi.
After hearing the explanation, Mu Xueyan couldn't believe it. "Shengjing City has so many rules? Didn't Xue'er offend King Rui?"
Chu Xuanchi was helpless, "So it's not that I don't want you to go out, but you don't know Shengjing, it's really dangerous."
Mu Xueyan didn't want to cause trouble. "Then Xue'er, try not to speak any more. If you have to speak, just speak quietly to Brother Yu Wang."
The group entered Prince Rui's mansion and were welcomed by servants to the main hall to meet Prince Rui, who was entertaining the earlier guests inside.
Chu Xuanhan was also a distinguished guest. With a gentle smile on his face, he took the initiative to greet Chu Xuanchi and his wife, "Fifth brother, how is your sister-in-law?"
"Sixth brother is here too." Since everyone knew that Chu Xuanhan was on good terms with Prince Rui, Chu Xuanchi had naturally guessed that he would come.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Chu Xuanhan sat down again and said, "I heard that Fifth Brother is getting better. Seeing you today, you look really good."
Chu Xuanchi mentioned Mo Zhaohua intentionally, "It's your sister-in-law who takes good care of you. The maids and guards in the mansion are not as caring as the one beside you after all."
Chu Xuanhan remained calm, "Father also said that he had found a good match for my fifth brother. My fifth brother's wife is very good and is a role model for a princess."
Although he had a smile on his face, his heart had already sunk. Mo Zhaohua should have been his wife, doing everything for him.
But now, Chu Xuanchi not only snatched the woman he liked, but also praised her in front of him. How could he swallow this?
Chu Xuanchi stabbed him in the heart again, "Father is wise and powerful, he can certainly find a good marriage for me, and the same goes for my sixth brother."
Yuchi Jiuyue had long been spoiled by her family. She was willful and unruly, and she often offended people. Chu Xuanhan would suffer in the future.
Chu Xuanhan felt more and more depressed when he thought about marrying a woman like that. If it weren't for the General's Mansion behind her, he would never marry her.
A few people chatted in the main hall for a while, and then another distinguished guest came. It was Prince Jin and his Princess Jin. This was also the first time he went out after being dismissed.
At this point, everyone was present. After some greetings and pleasantries, King Rui led them to the back garden.
There is a chrysanthemum garden in the Rui Palace. Now is the season when chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and all kinds of chrysanthemums are in full bloom.
In addition to several brothers, King Rui also invited some direct descendants of aristocratic families and official families, but Chu Xuanchi and his wife were not very familiar with them.
Mu Xueyan didn't know anyone except the people from Prince Yu's Mansion and Prince Rui, so she kept pestering Chu Xuanchi and asking him quietly.
After all, Chu Xuanchi had only been back for a short time and rarely went out for social events before, so he didn't know many of the people today.
Mo Zhaohua, on the contrary, knew more people and helped introduce them. Mu Xueyan not only didn't give her a cold look, but also thanked her.
This was because Chu Xuanchi repeatedly warned that when they were out, Mo Zhaohua represented the face of the Prince Yu's Mansion and she must not be embarrassed in front of others.
The Prince of Jin came over with his wife to chat, "Fifth brother looks good. How about you and your sister-in-law come to my house to have a chat when you have time?"
Chu Xuanchi agreed immediately, "If it is convenient for you, my eldest brother, after my sixth brother's wedding, Xuanchi will definitely bring the princess to visit you."
Since he had been to the East Palace and came to Prince Rui's Mansion today, and he also had to attend Chu Xuanhan's wedding banquet one day, he could not favor one over the other and refuse Prince Jin.
"Okay, then I'll be waiting." King Jin looked at Mu Xueyan, "Don't forget to bring Miss Mu along, it will be more lively with more people."
While he was chatting with Chu Xuanchi, Princess Jin was also talking with Mo Zhaohua. This was the first time the sisters-in-law had a private chat.
On the wedding day, Mo Zhaohua was in the bridal chamber, so Princess Jin had no chance. Also, everyone had their own seats at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, so it was not very convenient.
Princess Jin cordially invited, "I've always heard that your sister-in-law is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. How about coming to your house to play a few games to relieve your boredom?"
