Chapter 33
Xuan Miao replied: "The person who sent the invitation said that this time the situation is special, so in addition to inviting ladies from aristocratic families, he also specially invited many princes and princes to attend. It is said..."

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, then turned to look at Fu Guan, hesitant to speak.

Fu Guan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Whatever Princess An Ning's people said, you just say it."

Xuan Miao could only say: "The man also said that this year's special case is to welcome Princess Xuanping who has just entered the capital, that is Miss Ban."

"?" Xuan Yi's face was full of confusion: "To welcome the new princess?" His expression was a bit weird:

"Princess An Ning has an arrogant and savage personality, and she looks down on the lady from a family who came from a small place. Would she be so kind? I don't think she wants to welcome the new princess, but she probably wants to take this opportunity to find a reason to bully her."

It was rare for Xuan Miao not to refute her ignorant younger brother: "Princess An Ning is close to Ms. Yan, and Ms. Yan was shut out by the prince before. Maybe, Princess An Ning is trying to find a place for my sister-in-law."

Xuan Yi frowned slightly, and said: "I don't understand, what are they doing with these little tricks? With this effort, they have finished reading the National Policy Theory."

In this regard, Fu Guan did not comment much.

He threw the invitation card and letter paper on the desk, tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingertips, and said, "Although the Flower Moon Banquet is only for noble ladies in the capital, it is indeed a good opportunity to test Ban Xiyu."

Fu Guan analyzed: "There is no doubt that a woman with both talents and looks suddenly appeared in the capital, with the personality of Princess An Ning, she would definitely make some troubles for Ban Xiyu who just arrived.

"Combined with Yan Ruyu's relationship, Princess Anning's malice towards Ban Xiyu is only a little bit more."

Xuan Miao could understand what Fu Guan meant: "After the wedding, the concubine has already attracted the attention of everyone in the capital. As long as she appears at the Huayue Banquet, she will naturally become the focus of everyone's attention."

"That's right." Fu Guan said, "At that time, everyone's attention will be on her. Faced with Princess Anning's difficulties and the temptations of the young ladies, no matter how calm Ban Xiyu is, she will inevitably reveal the truth. flaw."

In his words, there is a certainty of victory.He smiled and said: "As long as she makes a mistake, I will be able to find a breakthrough—whether she is 'Ban Xiyu' or a 'every lady' in disguise, we will have to wait for the results at the Huayue Banquet. "

The time waiting for the Flower Moon Banquet to start was the most boring time Lou Xiyue had ever spent.

As Ban Xiyu said before, there are countless rules in the Xuanping palace, and the rules and regulations restrict everyone in the palace.

And Lou Xiyue, who wears the identity of "princess", has more rules on her body.

She didn't care much about it, but she couldn't touch the sword of her beloved from morning till night.

Every morning from waking up until the sun goes down, during this period, except for the meal time, she can only rest in the house, chat with the maids, do some small chores, or take a walk in the yard, and occasionally read a book.

She has nothing to do, plus there are many people in the palace, maybe there is an eyeliner arranged by Fu Guan in a corner she didn't find.

Lou Xiyue couldn't fully trust the servants in her courtyard, and didn't dare to show her hands and feet casually, so she could only do nothing all day long.

And during the period when she was idle and boring, Fu Guan never showed up once.

Since the wedding night, he seemed to have completely forgotten about her, and he no longer set foot in her small courtyard, nor did he hear any news from her.

If there were no special abnormalities in the palace, she would have thought he was missing.

But even if Fu Guan didn't show up, Lou Xiyue could still hear news about him from time to time.

For example, shortly after getting married, Fu Guan was rewarded by the emperor for his meritorious service in handling the corruption and fraud case of the prefect of Pingjiang.

Box after box of gold and silver treasures rewarded from the palace were sent to the warehouse of the palace.

Not only that, the emperor also gave Fu Guan an official position for the first time.

Although it was just a small Dali Temple Sizhi, it was already very generous compared to the emperor's continuous reduction of the Xuanping Palace's annual allowance over the years.

Everyone in the palace was happy about this, but Lou Xiyue thought that the emperor's move was probably to dig a hole for Fu Guan.

In addition, Lou Xiyue also heard that Fu Guan was also invited to the Flower Moon Banquet held by Princess Anning.

Although it's not clear why Princess Anning changed the routine this year, Lou Xiyue didn't care about other things.Her goal is not the Huayue Banquet, but the Fragrant Tea House.

On the day of Qiqiao Festival, Qingshuang dragged Lou Xiyue into her room, and changed into newly made clothes.

The snow blue dress made her fair complexion, rosy complexion, peach blossom eyes, peach plum face, unparalleled beauty.

It's just that on this pretty face, there is a bit of aloofness and coldness, and her indifferent and alienated temperament is eye-catching.

Yunzhi looked at Lou Xiyue who had put on new clothes, her eyes closely followed her: "Princess Wang is really dazzling and stunning!"

Lou Xiyue moved her arms uncomfortably, then looked at Qingshuang unnaturally, and said, "This is too grand. It's just a banquet, isn't it too exaggerated to dress like this."

She said, "Give me a change."

As she spoke, she walked behind the screen to untie her coat.

When Lou Xiyue was a spy, she followed the principle of hiding herself and not revealing her true identity.At this moment, she is wearing the identity of "Ban Xiyu", but she is still not used to wearing such heavy clothes.

She doesn't like to be conspicuous. On a formal occasion like the Huayue Banquet, it's better to wear something cool and elegant, the less conspicuous the better.

However, Yunzhi stopped her and said: "Your Majesty, wait a minute, you should dress like this. On that day when you married the prince, there was a lot of excitement in the capital."

Lou Xiyue raised her eyebrows: "Why, haven't they seen the matter of in-laws between men and women? There's nothing to be excited about."

Yunzhi said: "That's different. Firstly, you and the prince were married by decree, and secondly, the prince Zhilan Yushu is well-known in the capital, so naturally he is very curious about you, Wangfei.

"Now that you are here, there are countless pairs of eyes watching you in the capital, so this Flower and Moon Banquet cannot be underestimated. You must show your unique style."

Qingshuang also thought this way: "Miss, you are now a princess, and you can no longer dress as plainly as before. When outsiders see you, they will just think that the palace doesn't take you seriously, and they will look down on you."

Yunzhi nodded again and again: "That's right. You represent the face of the palace, so of course it should be more grand. Sister Qingshuang, right?"

Qingshuang also said: "Yunzhi is right, Miss, just take this body."

Lou Xiyue thought for a moment, and seeing that they were so persistent, she could only nod her head and agree: "Okay then."

She knew that Yunzhi had served in the palace for a long time and was very familiar with all parts of the capital, so she chose her to accompany her to the Huayue Banquet.

After everything was tidied up, Lou Xiyue and Yunzhi boarded the carriage to Princess Anning's mansion.

The carriage was driving steadily on the street, and through a curtain, Lou Xiyue could clearly hear the shouts coming from the streets and alleys.

She looked out through the curtain, and saw beautiful paper lanterns hanging in the market outside, with paper flowers on them, which looked very beautiful.

In addition, Lou Xiyue also found that many young women went to the street today, they were talking, laughing and having fun while holding a pretty flower in their hands.

Passing through the lively streets and alleys, the carriage finally stopped in front of a magnificent mansion.

There were people coming and going in front of the gate of Qin'an Bieyuan, the attendants of Prince Xuanping stepped forward to call the door, the servants inside saw the invitation and said:
"Disrespect, disrespect, it turned out to be Princess Xuanping driving. The villain is an official from the Qin'an Courtyard. He also asked the princess to change to a soft sedan chair, and the villain immediately led the princess in."
