Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal

Princess Jiashan stood up immediately and said, "Even the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are here, so it should be about time to start."

Chu Xuanchi and Mo Zhaohua did not show up until the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess arrived and all the guests were invited to the main hall.

"Thank you all for your hospitality. This is the first time that the king and the princess have hosted a banquet. If the hospitality is not good enough, please forgive us."

Everyone sat down to drink tea and chat, and after a short rest they went to the back garden to appreciate the plum blossoms.

Prince Jin always wants to stir up trouble when there is nothing to do. "Fifth brother is still very popular. Not only the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess came to the banquet, but even Eighth brother came."

The prince said gently, "I and the princess have been to my eldest brother's house before, but he has many friends and often holds banquets, so I can't come every time."

"My brother too..." The Eighth Prince spoke slowly, "Same..."

The prince then continued, "Besides, this is the first time that Fifth Brother is hosting a banquet. If I don't even give him this respect, what kind of brother can I call him?"

The Eighth Prince blushed and agreed, "Second the motion..."

The King of Jin turned and looked at Chu Xuanchi again, "Why didn't your sixth brother's concubine come? Isn't she a sister of your fifth brother's wife?"

Chu Xuanhan explained gently, "The concubine is pregnant and it's a bit late, so it's not convenient for her to go out."

He really didn't want to take Mo Yaohua out, for fear of any accident or conspiracy, and Mo Yaohua's name was not on the invitation.

Prince Jin stroked his chin and said, "I just remembered that my fifth brother's invitation card seemed to state that no one else could be brought to the banquet."

Mo Zhaohua had already thought of an excuse, "Prince Qi's concubine is pregnant, and this is the first time the prince and I are hosting a banquet, so I'm afraid I might not welcome her properly and cause trouble."

Neither she nor Chu Xuanchi wanted to get into big trouble with Mo Yaohua. If someone took action in Prince Yu's Mansion, they would definitely be implicated.

Prince Jin kept asking, "So Fifth Brother's wife really didn't ask Prince Qi to marry her, right? But she's still bothered by the conspiracy at the Princess's Mansion?"

"It is true that we did not invite Prince Qi's concubine, but it has nothing to do with the past events. We are not targeting her intentionally. Prince Jin's concubine was also not invited."

Chu Xuanchi had guessed long ago that Prince Jin would definitely make a fuss about this, but Mo Zhaohua had done everything perfectly and would not let him get any handle.

Prince Jin leaned back in his chair, his posture lazy, "Why is that? Does the fifth brother's wife dislike the concubine?"

Mo Zhaohua said generously, "Of course not, I was just worried that Prince Qi's concubine was unable to come this time, so I was concerned and treated everyone equally."

Chu Xuanchi also helped to speak, "Although this prince is not very good at walking, fortunately there are many servants in the mansion, and the princess is in charge, so there will be a chance to hold a banquet in the future."

Mo Zhaohua cooperated tacitly, "When Prince Qi's concubine gives birth to a baby boy and is out of confinement, she can go out to attend the banquet with peace of mind. Then we will invite Prince Jin's two concubines together."

Chu Xuanchi did not give King Jin another chance to entangle, "It's almost time, everyone please move to the back garden. The snow in the plum garden has been cleared and the scenery is pretty good."

The plum blossoms bloom in the snow. If there were only plum blossoms but no snowflakes, they would lose a lot of their beauty, so the Plum Garden just cleared the snow on the flower path.

The plum trees have also been cleaned up a bit, so that at least the plum blossoms can be seen, instead of just the snow covering the branches and making it invisible. This is how you can appreciate the plum blossoms.

Prince Rui didn't say much when he was drinking tea in the main hall, but now he became more active in appreciating the plum blossoms. "Fifth brother, there are many varieties of plum blossoms in this garden."

"Seventh brother not only knows a lot about chrysanthemums, but also knows a lot about plum blossoms." Chu Xuanchi was not familiar with these varieties of plum blossoms.

He just came back last year. The construction and decoration of the Prince's Palace were all handled by Emperor Wenzong's people, and naturally the flowers in the garden were also handled by him.

Prince Rui said modestly: "I can't say I know much about it, but I saw a few varieties in the Imperial Garden these past two years, and I remembered them in my mind."

Prince Jin felt sour in his heart, "It can be seen that father dotes on the fifth brother very much. He even considers such trivial matters as rare flowers and plants and sends them to the palace."

Originally, he thought that since Chu Xuanchi's mother's family was destroyed and he had made many military achievements after being exiled, Emperor Wenzong would definitely be wary of him. He never expected that he would be so protective of him.

Not only did Emperor Wenzong find an excuse to remove Chu Xuanchi from all his positions for his own sake, but the Prince's Palace also looked grand and majestic on the outside and exquisite and luxurious on the inside.

When he first came to Chu Xuanchi's wedding banquet, he was amazed. Today, he was able to travel and see even more, and his jealousy burned fiercely.

Chu Xuanchi said something high-sounding to him perfunctorily, "Father is kind and merciful, and his grace is great."

The Prince of Jin took the opportunity to compare him with the Crown Prince, "Father is indeed kind, but the Crown Prince is well-known for his virtue, and is even better than him."

The usually gentle prince suddenly frowned and warned in a cold voice, "Big brother, be careful with your words, don't let your mouth cause harm."

"I was mistaken in my words. Please forgive me, Your Highness. Please pretend that you didn't hear anything just now. I just blurted out such words because I have heard them too many times."

The implication of the King of Jin's words was too obvious, and anyone with a bit of common sense could hear it, but no one responded directly and just brushed it off.

While appreciating the plum blossoms, Mo Zhaohua introduced Mu Xueyan to Rong Yue. She would have her coming-of-age ceremony next year and would need a sponsor and an official, but she had no friends in Shengjing.

"Yueyue, let me introduce you. This is the prince's adopted sister, Miss Mu. Her maiden name is Xueyan. She is a few months younger than you. You can make an appointment to play with her when you have time."

Rong Yue didn't understand why, but she thought the person Mo Zhaohua introduced must be good, so she immediately knelt down and saluted, "Miss Mu, how are you?"

Mu Xueyan has been in Shengjing for a few months. Mo Zhaohua has specially hired someone to teach her etiquette, and now she has learned it well. "Hello, Miss Rong."

Mo Zhaohua then introduced Zhong Lingfei, "This is Miss Lingfei from the Zhong family. She is quite knowledgeable about martial arts. If Xueyan is interested, we can learn from each other."

She changed the way she addressed Mu Xueyan after the last snowfall. They were so close now, and Chu Xuanchi was very pleased to see that.

Mu Xueyan took the initiative to greet, "Hello, Miss Zhong. Xueyan comes from the countryside, does not know the rules, and is not considerate of etiquette. If I am impolite, please forgive me."

Mo Zhaohua was extremely satisfied. In just a few months, Mu Xueyan had changed not only her attitude towards her, but also her rules and etiquette.

Although she was still a little spoiled behind people's backs, after all, Chu Xuanchi doted on her and she had the confidence to be arrogant because of his doting, but she was no longer rude in front of others.

Zhong Lingfei never judged people by their background, so she naturally would not despise him. She smiled and returned the greeting, "Hello, Miss Mu. You are very polite and courteous. I am really too modest."

Mo Zhaohua finally introduced Mu Xueyan to Mo Shuhua, chatted with them for a few more words, and then went to greet other guests, especially the female guests.

After appreciating the plum blossoms, it was time for lunch. The Prince Yu’s Palace prepared wine and tea. Most of the men drank wine, while the women drank tea. The atmosphere at the table was quite peaceful.

Unexpectedly, Prince Jin changed his usual behavior and stopped deliberately causing trouble. Instead, Mo Zhaohua and Chu Xuan Chi Ran became worried. They looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.
