Because it was a family dinner, there were a few naughty boys present.

Yixiu did not invite singing girls or dancing girls to perform, but only invited a few musicians to play. When the Ninth Prince learned about this, he curled his lips and said, "My brother thought he could see a few beauties. The Fourth Sister-in-law is too cautious!"

Yinzhen laughed a few times, "You, at such a young age, are already thinking about beauties. Don't teach your brothers bad lessons."

The Ninth Prince looked back at his brothers who only cared about eating, and turned his eyes away in disdain, "I should have known not to bring them along!"

The Fourteenth Prince stared with his big round eyes, "Ninth Brother doesn't like Little Fourteen anymore?"

The Ninth Prince was afraid of making this person cry, so he quickly waved his hands and said, "Ninth Brother is joking, eat quickly, eat quickly!"

Fourteenth Prince blinked his eyes and lowered his head to eat obediently. "This fried chicken leg prepared by Little Fourth Sister-in-law is really delicious. It tastes even better with the sauce on the side. Ninth Brother, come and try it."

The Ninth Prince looked at his mouth full of oil and really didn't want to try it, but seeing that the Fourteenth Prince was looking at him eagerly, he reluctantly took a bite. Instantly his eyes lit up, "It smells so good!"

Yixiu knew that many children would come today, so she prepared several foods that children in modern society like to eat.

Fried chicken, juice, small cakes, and fruit salad.

Even the Ninth Prince, who claimed to be a grown-up boy, ate with relish and no longer spoke of geishas or dancing.

Over there, Yixiu sat down with several concubines. There were also modern foods here. Yixiu was about to introduce them one by one when she saw Jianqiu walking in with an embarrassed look on her face.

"What's wrong? Where's your sister?"

"My Lord, when I went to invite the eldest princess just now, Lingyin, who was beside the eldest princess, did not let me in. She also said that the eldest princess was sick and would not come."

Yixiu frowned and said with a worried look on her face: "Sister was fine when she came this morning, how come she is sick? Have you asked the palace doctor for her?"

Jianqiu shook her head. "Lingyin said that the eldest princess had an old illness. It's not a big deal. She didn't let me call the palace doctor."

Yixiu was puzzled, "How come I don't know what old illness my sister has? Could it be that you pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed her and didn't invite her, so you just found an excuse?"

Jianqiu knelt on the ground in panic, "I dare not lie. I really went to invite her. That's what Lingyin said. The servants around Ningxiangju heard it."

Yixiu: "Get up, I understand, maybe my sister is suddenly feeling unwell, you can go down."

After Jianqiu left, Yixiu said, "I wanted to formally thank my sister, but now I'm afraid I can't. Anyway, today is our master's housewarming party, I will use tea instead of wine, thank you all for your kindness!"

Seeing her pick up the teacup, everyone put aside their doubts and started eating and drinking as Yixiu treated them.

Ningxiangju.

"Have you found out? Has Lord Beile returned?"

"I don't know what's going on. I've spent a lot of money but still can't find out. But looking at the time, it's time for the master to return home after the court session. I guess the prince should be here too."

"Then what are you waiting for? Don't delay my mother's plan!"

Rouze hurriedly took Lingyin to Meilin.

The eunuch in charge of keeping watch saw this and quickly reported the news to Qi Gege. However, he did not mention the imperial concubine's auspicious clothes, after all, he did not know them. He only said that Rouze was wearing a crimson dress and was dressed very beautifully.

Upon hearing this, Qi Gege was so angry that she slammed the table heavily, which scared the young eunuch. Jixiang quickly sent the man away with silver, then closed the door and stood beside his master.

"Calm down, Gege."

"Calm down? How can I calm down?! It's not enough that one Ulanara came, here comes another! I grew up in Yonghe Palace, and my grandfather and I were childhood sweethearts. At the beginning, it was agreed that I would be given the position of a concubine. But because my grandfather died for the country, I became a low-ranking princess! She, Ulanara Yixiu, is just a concubine's daughter. If it weren't for that surname, how could she be worthy of the position of a concubine. Now, here comes another Ulanara, this one is a legitimate daughter, and I'm afraid she doesn't even want the position of a concubine. She's eyeing the position of a legitimate wife! No! She hasn't even become a legitimate wife yet and she's already disgraced me like this. If that happens in the future... how can I have a foothold?!"

She clenched her fists, thinking of the princes and concubines who came today, and suddenly she had an idea.

So with Zigege's unexpected cooperation, Yixiu's plan was accelerated.

After Yinzhen and the other princes finished their meal, they felt a little full, so the Ninth Prince suggested that Yinzhen take them around the mansion. After all, it was a housewarming party, so how could he not take people on a tour?

Yinzhen had just drunk some wine and was a little tipsy. He wanted to get some fresh air to sober himself up, so he agreed.

The group went out of the door. There were originally two roads, one on the left and one on the right. But on the right, a little palace maid who was serving tea broke a teacup, scattering the pieces all over the floor. She was crying and picking up the porcelain pieces. Seeing this, the group just walked out from the left.

After everyone left, the little palace maid wiped away her tears and went back to report to Qi Gege.

Originally, Yixiu planned to let them make their own choices when they came out to stroll around the yard.

If you go to the left, you can see Merlin after just a few dozen meters. If you go to the right, you have to walk a long way back to Merlin. By then, Gu Jirou will be freezing cold, and will probably be crying and snotting. No matter how beautiful the dance is, it will not be a good scene.

Now that Qi Gege has intervened, Yinzhen and the other princes have already met with Rouze.

Yinzhen looked at Rouze without blinking, as if he could see into Rouze's heart.

The Ninth Prince smiled when he saw this, and whispered to the Eighth Prince, "I said that the Fourth Sister-in-law was not so stingy. She actually arranged the geisha here? When Meilin danced, it was really stunning. By the way, why do I feel that this is a bit like the Jinghong Dance? No, it's not that similar. Did she dance it wrong?"

The Eighth Prince explained: "The Jinghong Dance was performed by Concubine Mei during the Tang Dynasty. It is not so complete now. What you saw was also re-choreographed. It is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong."

The Ninth Prince nodded, "I see."

After that, he stopped talking and started admiring Rouze's dance.

Rouze was a real dance fanatic. Although she danced with a purpose, once she started dancing she ignored everything and focused solely on dancing. Plus, the plum forest was quite large, with plum trees in full bloom and other bushes in the way, so she couldn't see clearly and didn't know whether Yinzhen had come or not.

Tingyuxuan was not far from Meilin. When Yixiu saw Huichun suddenly pull out the handkerchief from her waist, she said, "Sisters, you haven't been to our Beile Mansion yet, right? Why don't I take you around?"

The group had almost finished eating and were feeling bored, so they thought it would be nice to go for a walk and agreed.

Yixiu introduced things as they walked, and soon brought them to Merlin.
