April and May are the seasons for peonies and peonies.
The eldest daughter of Empress Dowager Yuande, Princess Danyang, held a flower-viewing banquet in her mansion, which was actually a blind date party.
She sent invitations to many princes, noble ladies, and noble families, so that they could enjoy the blooming flowers together and recite poems and compose couplets.
Mo Zhaohua's engaged people also received invitations. "I still don't understand why the Princess's Mansion would send me an invitation?"
Pearl was combing her hair into a bun. "Although it's a matchmaking party, it's not all about boudoir girls. It's more lively when there are more people."
Amber helped from the side, "Yes, everyone knows that the princess likes lively occasions. The princess's mansion has the most banquets in Shengjing City."
Yueying was also there, but she didn't say anything. There was just a hint of a smile in her eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
A little maid came to report, "Miss, the third young lady is here."
Zhenzhu doesn't like Mo Yaohua anymore. "You're so impatient that you need to urge me to leave?"
Amber spoke more directly, "If our young lady hadn't received the invitation, she wouldn't have been qualified to go to the Princess's Mansion."
Posts from the Princess's Mansion will only be sent to the direct descendants and wives of the powerful and wealthy, while illegitimate children and collateral relatives can only follow them.
No matter how favored a concubine is, she must not go with him, unless she is the prince's concubine or illegitimate daughter-in-law. After all, the prince's status is special.
Mo Zhaohua comforted the two maids, "You should be more open-minded. It's better for her to wait for me than for me to wait for her, right?"
Amber nodded. "That's right. I always thought the Third Miss was nice, but recently I feel like she has bad intentions."
Mo Zhaohua looked at the bun gradually taking shape in the mirror and said, "Amber, go out and deal with it. Don't let her in."
"Yes, miss." Amber responded and went out.
Mo Yaohua was drinking tea and waiting outside. She was dressed up today and asked Jinqiu to comb her hair into a bun, but the bun was a little crooked.
It's just that she has fair skin, a rosy face, and looks pretty good in her new gorgeous clothes. If you don't look carefully, you won't notice this.
Mo Zhaohua walked out slowly not long after, "Sister, you look so beautiful today."
Mo Yaohua said modestly, "Yaoyao is a weakling, how can she compare to my elder sister? I just hope I can not embarrass my elder sister."
Pearl was the best at combing hair, and she could tell something was wrong at a glance, "Is Third Miss's hair bun crooked?"
Mo Yaohua hadn't noticed it before, "Really? But there's no time to change it, otherwise it will waste my elder sister's time."
"It is indeed difficult to comb the Jinghong bun. I dare not try it for the time being." Zhenzhu is self-aware and will not try it in important occasions if she cannot comb it well.
Mo Yaohua asked cautiously, "Eldest sister, do you have any extra sachets?"
Mo Zhaohua knew that she was good at needlework and looked down upon others. Hearing this, he became alert and asked, "Why do you want a sachet?"
Mo Yaohua explained, "Yaoyao was copying scriptures a few days ago, and her hands are still sore that she can't embroider a new sachet."
Mo Zhaohua thought for a moment and said, "I do have a few that I just filled with spices. If you don't mind, I'll give one to you."
She did not call the maid, but went to the inner room, took out a sachet from the box where embroidery was kept, and after a slight hesitation, took out another one.
When she came out, she handed the only sachet in her hand to Mo Yaohua, "I'm not very good at needlework. If you don't like it, just throw it away later."
Mo Yaohua took it with a smile, "My eldest sister embroidered this sachet herself. Yaoyao has already treasured it, so how can I bear to throw it away?"
Mo Zhaohua's eyes wandered between Pearl and Amber, "It's almost time for us to go out. Pearl stay and look after the house."
Although Pearl is calm and composed, she can't just take Pearl out with her. If this happens too often, Amber will feel uncomfortable.
***
Outside the Princess's Mansion.
The two stone lions are majestic.
Outside the main gate, two teams of guards stood with swords drawn.
When the two carriages from the Shangshu Mansion arrived, there were other carriages in front.
As there are many guests today, the door of the mansion is not closed. The maids and servants are waiting in line with invitations in their hands, waiting for the doorman to check them.
Amber also took the post and went to queue up. After the doorman checked it, there was someone next to her registering her entourage.
Mo Yaohua had no posting, and if she didn't follow Mo Zhaohua, she couldn't even enter the mansion.
This was Mo Zhaohua's second time here. She had also attended a flower-viewing banquet three years ago, but later, due to her father's mourning period, she was no longer invited to similar banquets.
Mo Yaohua was still young at that time and did not come along, so this was her first time entering the princess's mansion, and she was looking around out of the corner of her eyes.
Princess Danyang loves to be lively and leads an extremely extravagant life. She spent a huge amount of money to build the Princess's Mansion, which is decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and terraces, and winding paths.
However, no matter how luxurious it is, it cannot compare to the imperial palace. Mo Zhaohua would not care. In the eyes of others, she is dignified and generous, while Mo Yaohua is petty.
Before the banquet started, Mo Zhaohua went to the ladies' lounge first and met many acquaintances. They were all noble ladies from wealthy families and he would meet them at various banquets.
Noble ladies also have their own circles. Royal ladies are divided according to their status, while ladies from official families are divided according to the official positions of their elders. Mo Zhaohua's circle is relatively wider because she is related to both the Empress Dowager and Concubine De.
In addition, she has now been granted marriage and is the future Princess Yu, so people come to greet her as soon as she appears.
"Ms. Mo, I thought you wouldn't come today?"
"Yes, I was thinking about posting an invitation to invite you to enjoy the flowers."
Several girls around fifteen or sixteen years old, all dressed prettyly and smiling sweetly, surrounded Mo Zhaohua.
