Chapter 576 Meeting Su Ruying For The First Time

Just as Yun Shang expected, the banquet in the Princess Palace was not casual at all. The important officials and their families were all invited. It's almost at the same level as the Palace Banquet. Before Yun Shang got off the carriage, she saw Liu Jin get off the carriage with his wife and enter the Princess Palace.

Yun Shang chuckled, "so blatant! Does the princess really think everyone is deceived as she claimed to worship Buddha?"

Luo Qingyan also smiled at people coming in and out, "I've heard that the princess holds three or four small banquets almost every year, and invites these people."

"Really?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows. The princess is a smart person. She knows how to hide herself and she has the patience.

Luo Qingyan opened the door of the carriage and got off. He held Yun Shang's arm and helped her get off. The servant had seen Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang the day before yesterday. He walked up and bowed to them, "Prince Rui, Lady Rui, come in please."

After entering the door, the gentle monk also came up, holding a plate in his hand, with four bamboo signs inside, "Good day, Prince Rui and Lady Rui. The banquet will be held in four yards today. Which yard you could go depends on the card you chose. May I know who will choose the card?"

Luo Qingyan smiled and looked down at Yun Shang, "Shang'er, you choose."

Yun Shang giggled, "I heard that sometimes the emperor decides which concubine he will dote on by turn over a card randomly. Today, I'm lucky enough to have a try." Then she reached out her hand and took a bamboo plate. She turned it over and saw the word "plum blossom" on it.

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and smiled. "Excellent. My favorite is plum blossom."

"Congratulations, your highness. It's the plum blossom garden." The gentle monk smiled and said, "Your highnesses, I'll send someone to take you there." Then she called a maid to lead Yun Shang into the garden.

Last time when they came here, they stopped at the garden house and didn't see the scene inside. The maid cut through the garden house, passed through a long corridor, and turned right. After a while, they came to a garden with "plum blossom garden" written on it.

The maid bowed and said, "This is plum blossom garden. Your highnesses, please come in."

It was winter. As soon as Yun Shang stepped into the plum blossom garden, she smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms. She looked around and saw a few young women standing in the courtyard, smiling and admiring the plum blossoms. Yun Shang didn't know any of them, but they had outstanding looks. Several men were sitting under the gallery. While they were talking, Yun Shang noticed that many people were staring at the several women who were admiring the plum blossom.

"Prince Rui." Yun Shang was looking around when she heard someone called Luo Qingyan. At once, everyone looked at Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang.

Yun Shang turned around with Luo Qingyan, and saw a young man waving at h

Ruying is also not good person. She knew what the empress was up to, and she came here today to approach you. You might not notice that her eyes lit up when she saw Prince Rui. I thought Prince Rui was outstanding and it was normal that many girls were attracted by him. But I didn't expect all this. Prince Rui did well. If I were him, I would slap her. "

Yun Shang pulled her closer and said, "you have a bad temper. Although Su Ruying is the daughter of a concubine, she is also a lady of the Su clan. Anyway, you should give her the due respect. Even if you want to teach her a lesson, you need to find a secluded place. We can't let others misunderstand us."

"You are right." Shen Yilan curled her lips and grabbed Yun Shang's hand, "forget it. Outside the room are all young, pretty boys and girls who are meretricious. Let's go inside. My mother and my aunt are also inside."

Yun Shang thought for a while, and realized that her mother and aunt must be the aunts of Luo Qingyan. She nodded and said with a smile, "why didn't you tell me earlier they are in the room? I've been standing here for a long time and haven't greeted them. It's really impolite."

"We are family. You don't have to be so polite." Shen Yilan didn't take it seriously. She held Yun Shang's hand and led her into the room.

When they were about to enter the room, they saw white fog rose from the plum blossom forest, which seemed dangerous. Yun Shang frowned and entered the room with Shen Yilan.

As expected, in the room are all married women. As soon as Yun Shang entered, she heard them talking about the shop named Qian Shui Pavilion, which was popular in the city recently. The women in the room looked quite familiar. She had seen many people in the birthday banquet held in the Lord Hua Guo's mansion before. They greeted Yun Shang, "Haha, by the way, Lady Rui is a frequent guest at Qianshui Pavilion. Look at the pair of mandarin duck hairpins on her bun. They are from Qianshui Pavilion."
