Chapter 380 Practice Banquet

Aunt San nodded quickly: "Yes, my wife dares not."

At this time, Chu Hua, Chu Feng, Chu Yang, Chu Yuan, Chu Zhan and others also came back.

Chu Hua frowned and said, "I have just asked, and the father-in-law just revealed that this matter was decided by the emperor on a whim. As for the accompanying servants that Sister Lan went up the mountain, the emperor would make arrangements in advance, so the others were not allowed to take them."

The old lady ordered someone to bring a slap to several people. After everyone sat down, the old lady said, "This is a bit strange. Before other girls' families left the house, they also went to the temple to recite scriptures and pray for blessings, so they would not attract the attention of the emperor like our Lan Yatou."

"Maybe it was because Prince Gong's status was transcendent and was favored by the emperor?" Aunt San smiled, "This is also a good thing."

"It's a pity that I've even prepared my luggage." Xu sighed helplessly, "The emperor does not allow others to follow me, so I can't go anymore. But if I go up the mountain, it's better not to even take a maid who serves with me, right?"

Chu Hua said: "The emperor really doesn't agree, so he just let Sister Lan go by himself. But I heard from the father-in-law's words, and it seems that he will go to Prince Gong's mansion to pass the imperial edict to the prince later. Although I don't know the specific content, I guess the emperor wants to let the girl Lan go with the prince, and the prince thinks he wants to escort Sister Lan."

That said, it is really possible.

"It's just that this is unreasonable? Before getting married, the old rules meant that the newlyweds were not allowed to meet. At least the time of preparation for the wedding was not possible." The old lady said, "Maybe the emperor had something else to order the prince, but it was unknown."

Chu Junlan smiled and said, "No matter what, we just follow the orders, and even if we think about the others, it will be useless."

Everyone who was frowning was stunned when they heard this, then smiled relievedly, "Isn't that true? We are taking a look."

Xu took Chu Junlan's hand and said, "Sister Lan, are you willing to go? If you feel unsafe, let your father think of a solution for you, or secretly arrange someone to protect you. The legend of Tiandao Mountain is very mysterious, and it also says that the master of Tiandao Mountain has become a half-immortal, and he has lived to be over 200 years old. In short, I don't know if it is a Buddha or a Taoist on the mountain, but I really don't feel at ease if you want to go."

Chu Junlan held Xu's hand and shook it: "Mom, don't worry, I am a little girl, and the emperor will not harm me. Instead, he will arrange for someone to protect me well. It's okay."

At this time, no matter whether Chu Junlan felt that something was wrong or not, the imperial edict had been issued, and everyone had no other way.

After the family was studying, Chu Junlan had to go back to the room. Although the bag she packed up in advance could still be taken away, Zi Yan sorted out the things in vain.

"After the emperor's words, I can't follow you. Girl, I don't know what it is like to be hungry on the mountain. What if you are not used to it? There is no caring person around you who knows the cold and the heat. I am afraid that you will be wronged when you go there."

"Look at you, you can hang an oil bottle with a pouty mouth." Chu Junlan pinched Zi Yan's face.

Zi Yan snorted, rubbed her face, couldn't help laughing, and said angrily: "Miss has always been good at playing with me."

When Chu Junlan saw Zi Yan happy, she felt much more relaxed.

As the two were talking, Madam Guo beside Xu came to Chu Junlan's room.

"Miss Lan, my wife told me to tell you, and the person from Prince Gong's mansion told you that when you go to Tiandao Mountain this time, the prince will go with you. The emperor will hold a banquet in the palace tomorrow to practice it for you and the prince. The prince's carriage will come to pick you up tomorrow afternoon."

Chu Junlan nodded: "I understand, thank you, Madam Guo for telling me."

When Madam Guo returned, Chu Junlan sat down and thought about the strangeness.

She naturally likes going out with Xiao Xu, but this time the emperor issued a temporary order that disrupted her plan, and she also had to arrange for Xiao Xu to go together.

Thinking of the last time Xiao Xu went to Tiandao Mountain, and in the end, he didn't hear Xiao Xu talk about what they did to Tiandao Mountain, Chu Junlan became even more suspicious.

Until the afternoon of the next day, the carriage on Prince Gong's mansion really came to Duke Mao's mansion.

The disciple enthusiastically welcomed Xiao Xu into the mansion, and Xiao Xu went to pay his respects to the old lady of Duke Mao’s mansion.

Xu and Ren were talking to the old lady at this time. When they heard that Xiao Xu was coming, they hurriedly let him in.

The old lady took the lead in getting up to greet Xiao Xu.

"I have always brought my family to the Chu family and met Prince Gong."

"This is not allowed." Xiao Xu sideways away, refused to accept this gift, and then kneels down and gives a big gift: "My younger generation, Xiao Xu, please pay tribute to the old lady and to the two ladies."

"No gifts, no gifts." The old lady smiled and her eyebrows were curved, and the wrinkles on her face were thorny.

Xiao Xu smiled and said, "Although the farewell banquet is long, the emperor often asks people to speak on a whim. So I want to ask the old lady if I can take Sister Lan into the palace first."

"The prince is thoughtful. We can rest assured if you take Sister Lan with you." The old lady nodded with a smile and looked at Xu inquiring.

Xu was looking at Xiao Xu up and down. She had never seen Xiao Xu before, but people were changing. Xiao Xu probably had been tempered during this period of time and his temperament became much more calm, which made people feel trustworthy.

"What the old lady said is," Xu said with a smile, "I'll ask someone to tell Sister Lan."

Then he stood up and saluted, "Boy will leave first."

The old lady and Xu hurriedly stood up and said, "The prince is walking slowly."

Looking at Xiao Xu's tall back, Xu couldn't help but smile and said, "I think the prince is much more calm than before. He has excellent appearance and character. The prince can get the emperor's love. It seems that his talent and learning are not bad."

"Yes," the old lady sighed, "Lan Jie'er's original father was unreliable. The concubine at home was a mess, but that woman had done a good thing and told her such a marriage to Lan Jie."

Xu nodded with a smile.

They naturally had already investigated Chu Junlan's affairs. Chu Junlan was suffering from wood stagnation and was promised by her aunt to Xiao Xu, who was still a fool, so he sold her. Who would have thought that God had made his own arrangements. Not only did Chu Junlan recover, but he also cured Xiao Xu. These two young people were handsome and beautiful. Xu felt satisfied with the marriage when he thought about it.

When Xu and the old lady returned to their room to chat, Chu Junlan had already arrived at the gate of the mansion.

Xiao Xu stood beside the carriage with his hands in his arms. When he heard the footsteps, he turned around and saw Chu Junlan wearing a stone-green cloud brocade cloak, without makeup, half-tied long hair, and carrying a light little bag, he walked quickly.

When Xiao Xu saw her like this, he couldn't help but like her. Without waiting for Jing Yu to come forward, he walked over and took over the small bag the size of her palm.

"What did you bring? Get in the car first, it's very cold outside."

Chu Junlan smiled and nodded, jumped into the carriage lightly, and now she sat down inside, Xiao Xu sat down opposite her.

"This is the medicine I just caught. I have prepared it. I think I have taken almost the pills I gave you before." As I spoke, I pulled Xiao Xu's hand and focused on his pulse. My face changed: "What's wrong with your body? Why does the situation worsen so quickly?"

How dare Xiao Xu tell Chu Junlan that he practiced too much? After he was with Chu Junlan, he watched her fall into crisis several times. He often had no choice but to regret that he was not strong enough, so he could only work hard in secret. Unexpectedly, the two poisons in his body were not allowed.

Xiao Xu was afraid that Chu Junlan would know about this, so he just smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, you are there anyway, it's okay."

"Do you think I am a god?" Chu Junlan frowned and said, "I'll just do it today. After I come back from the palace, I'll check your pulse again first, and this medicine must be re-adjusted."

Xiao Xu looked at the little bag and nodded helplessly: "This will bring you more trouble."

"I don't have to work too much, but you have to hurry to listen to me. If you can rest on weekdays, you should rest more. Don't fight with others. If you want to fight, just let the people under your command go. In addition, even if you encounter danger and have to fight, don't use internal force. The more internal force you use, the faster your toxicity will catalyze. Remember?"

Xiao Xu nodded with a smile: "Remember."

"Just remember it doesn't work, you have to do it." Chu Junlan frowned and looked at him.

Xiao Xu was afraid that Chu Junlan would see the clues, so he nodded seriously and said, "Okay."

While speaking, the carriage had already arrived at the palace gate.

When the two got out of the car, an eunuch came forward to guide the two. Because there were many outsiders in the palace, Chu Junlan was unable to preach to Xiao Xu, so he put down the matter for the time being and followed Xiao Xu and walked side by side towards the Yangxin Palace.

It was said that it was a banquet, but Emperor Jinghong did not arrange too many people to come. It seemed that he knew that Chu Junlan was in disagreement with Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince, and there were some conflicts with the Second Prince. Today, only Concubine Qin and the Ninth Prince came. As for the concubines, only Concubine Ying and Concubine Yu came.

Nuomin came to the hall and saw Chu Junlan, her big cat-like eyes lit up, and her closeness and love were beyond words. She was not old and looked cute. She expressed her thoughts so bluntly, and she was timid and did not dare to make requests, which made Emperor Jing Hong soften suddenly.

"That's your sworn sister, and it's also your family. If you want to talk, just go there. There were no outsiders here today."

Nomine's eyes flashed with big eyes and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After saying that, he left the emperor's side, got down the danmu and walked quickly towards Chu Junlan.

Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu hurriedly stood up to salute Nuomin.

Nuomin received her gift and took her hand and said, "I finally got the chance to see you. I miss you very much, but I just don't have the chance to leave the palace."

Chu Junlan held her hand and shook it, smiling as usual, but he was secretly surprised.

Because Nuomin then secretly stuffed a small ball of paper into her palm when they held hands!

"How is Empress Yu in the palace?" Chu Junlan kept hiding the small piece of paper in her sleeve.

"I'm living a good life, and the emperor treats me well."
