Reborn and married to uncle, husband and wife teamed up to abuse scum.

"I heard that this prince always has bad luck in the capital. He is always accompanied by guards when traveling, but he is still beaten or bitten by dogs. Who knew he would encounter bandits?"

Coming out of the inn where Tang Rong was staying, several local officials pursed their lips and shook their heads. In fact, the bandits on the mountain didn't often come down, and the road was relatively smooth. They didn't know how they came down today, and they really encountered such a fat sheep.

"I heard that he became so unlucky after he got married. Maybe it was just bad luck."

This place is not very far from the capital, so naturally some rumors were heard. After whispering for a while, a few people prepared to encircle and suppress the bandits.

Tang Rong's injury was not too serious, but he was definitely left with a scar. Fortunately, the doctor brought some good medicine and said that the size and color of the scar would be reduced as much as possible, but it was impossible to make it invisible at all.

The worst thing was that in his panic, someone robbed Tang Rong, and the silver notes he carried with him were stolen. If he didn't find a way to solve the problem, he would have to live a hard life. After taking office, he would have to save some money and wait for Tang Gang to send him money.

"Sir, do you want to continue on your journey?"

There is a deadline for taking up the post, and it would be difficult to explain if the deadline had passed. Tang Rong could only order his men to rest for a night and set off early the next morning to take up the post as soon as possible.

He felt better when he thought that no one could restrain him when he was in office and he would have the final say in everything.

As for the lost money, I will naturally find ways to make up for it once I take office.

By the sixth day of the second lunar month, the new clothes for Xin An's female relatives had been completed and were undergoing the final touches.

"Second sister-in-law, are you really going to take us to Prince Jin's Mansion?"

That’s the royal palace, I dare not even think about it.

"I've already put on the new clothes, how can they be fake?"

Xin An, who hangs out with a few girls when he has nothing to do, looks younger and younger. "There are more people attending the banquet this time than the last time you went out. They are more prestigious. Remember the rules that Aunt Cuiping taught you. When you get to the palace, don't wander around. Follow me."

Zhao had already told the girls these words several times. She would not go with them this time and she also explained the whole story to Wang. She didn't want to make things difficult for Wang.

To a family like the royal palace, if one's status is not high enough, it would be useless even if one forced his way in, and one would easily be looked down upon.

As a result, Wang became more and more satisfied with her.

Xin An started dressing up early in the morning on the eighth day of February. She couldn't be too eye-catching nor too ordinary for today's apricot blossom banquet, and she also had to leave a good impression on Princess Jin.

"Don't wear too much makeup, keep your hair in a more stable bun, and use some hair oil to hold down your short hair."

"Bring an extra set of clothes and a set of jewelry."

"I won't drink water. I'll have to drink tea when I get there. It will be troublesome then."

Aunt Cuiping will go with Xin An today and personally instruct her on how to dress up. "You don't need to wear perfume or sachets. Prince Jin only likes fruit and floral scents."

"Change this hairpin. I remember there is a set of pigeon blood red head ornaments. Take it out and have a look. This hairpin doesn't just need to be new, it also needs some background."

The set she was talking about was given to her by the old lady on the second day after her marriage to steady her. She only wore it once and it was indeed a good thing.

"Wouldn't it be too solemn to wear a full set?"

“You don’t have to wear them all.”

Cuiping personally selected hairpins for her. After Xin An put them all on, her eyes lit up, "Aunt has a skillful hand."

You don't have to have a whole head of gold. It will look refreshing and comfortable, and you can also see the extraordinaryness of the hairpin from your own perspective, which is indeed not impolite.

After packing up, I went to the front yard. The three girls were already talking to Wang, their eyes full of joy.

The sun is already high in the sky, and there is a faint sense of the restlessness of early spring in the air. The streets are bustling with people. Spring is back, and it seems that people's energy and spirit have returned as well. The sounds of hawking, selling goods, and the playful voices of children overlap, making it sound lively.

Prince Jin was on Changping Street. It took two incense sticks to get there from the Marquis' Mansion. The carriage slowed down when it had only gone halfway. After drawing aside the curtain, he noticed that there were a lot of carriages on the road today, and most of them were heading in the same direction.

"Last year, there was also a lot of traffic at Duke En's Shuihua Banquet, but the traffic jam only started when we were about to reach Duke En's mansion. Today, the traffic jam is far away."

Xin An was very emotional. The power of the Marquis' Mansion was already considerable, but even so, she could not imagine how powerful the Royal Mansion would be.

Wang said, "The Shuihua Banquet of Duke En's Mansion is held every year, and more and more invitations are received. But even before, Prince Jin's Mansion rarely held banquets, and even if it did, it would not invite too many people. I'm afraid there will be many nobles today, especially the royal family. These people go out with a lot of pomp and circumstance, and three cars per family is a lot."

After all, their mansion had two cars.

Tang Quan'er and her two sisters became even more nervous. They originally thought that the Marquis' Mansion was the ceiling, but now it seems that there is a higher level above the sky, and that higher level of sky is not easy for even the Marquis' Mansion to reach.

"don’t worry."

Xin An said to them, "The purpose of the host's banquet is to make it lively and festive. No one would think of causing trouble in the palace. As long as you don't walk around or talk nonsense, nothing will happen."

"What your second sister-in-law said is true, but don't be too reserved. Be open and honest. You are also daughters of the Marquis' Mansion, and there is no difference between you and others."

The journey continued slower and slower, and sometimes they had to stop and wait for a while. At this time, the steward at the gate of Prince Jin's mansion asked the guests to get off the car in an orderly manner and cleared the road. There were also people leading the way for the guests behind the gate of the mansion. It seemed that they were busy, but in fact, everything was in order and there was no panic at all.

The guests who were stuck in traffic all the way also had smiles on their faces. They were all very amiable and generous, and none of them seemed dissatisfied with the traffic jam at all.

It can be seen that enough power can keep everyone good.

"Madam Weiyuan, are you here?"

The palace’s chief steward smiled and stepped forward to bow, “You’ve had a hard time on the journey, please come in.”

"Master Wu, you're too polite."

The steward of the Prince's Palace is a fourth-rank official and deserves to be treated politely.

After entering the door, a maid came forward and respectfully led a few people to the reception area. Xin An took a quick look. Although the palace did not look luxurious, it revealed majesty everywhere, with upturned corners and flying eaves, five ridges and six beasts, winding corridors, and high eaves, which was very impressive.

And it looks brand new, so it must have been renovated not long ago. It shows that the emperor really values ​​Prince Jin.

After walking for a while, I heard people talking and laughing. What came into view was a large courtyard with rockery and flowing water, a lotus pond and pavilion, apricot and peach trees full of spring, and pale pink apricot flowers standing proudly on the branches. "No wonder it is called an apricot blossom banquet. There are so many peach trees here, and the peach trees have buds. It's more like an orchard than a garden."

Because she saw the plum and pear trees, the flowers on the branches had already bloomed one after another.

The maid leading the way bowed slightly and said, "The princess loves the fragrance of fruit, so the prince has planted fruit trees in this yard that bloom in different seasons. After the apricot blossoms, the plum blossoms, and the pear blossoms, the peach blossoms will come. In the next few months, the fruits will ripen one after another, and the garden will be filled with the fragrance of fruit."

"It's really interesting. Even the pavilion under the apricot tree has a thatched roof, which makes it even more beautiful."

Powerful people know how to enjoy life better. They have such a big yard to play with. When she walked through the yard, she saw a few clumps of wild onions under the peach tree. She was afraid that they were also dug from the mountain and planted there.

It really is a return to nature.
