Chapter 348;
Hot Pot Banquet (Part 1)
The mood of the two brothers at this time was really mixed.
The original resentment now turned into complexity.
I originally thought that my mother was hard-hearted and would help others but not herself. Now I realize that her mother did everything for the sake of their lives.
"Okay, I have already made it clear what I need to say. It's up to you to believe it or not."
"I am getting old and I can't control you too much. I can only say that as long as I am here, I will find a way to save your lives."
"If you can't change your ways, I won't be able to care about you anymore if I am no longer here."
After saying that, she waved her hand for the two of them to leave.
The two Lin brothers stood up slowly, turned around and walked out for two steps. Then they turned around and knelt down heavily in front of the eldest princess.
"Mother, we know we were wrong."
Everything was explained so thoroughly that the two brothers really couldn't bear to hate each other.
"Very good. Go back and think about what I said today. I hope you won't let me down again in the future."
"Yes, my son will definitely remember your words today."
The two brothers kowtowed heavily before standing up and retreating.
"Your Highness, the two young masters have come to their senses this time, you can rest assured."
A smile appeared on the face of the eldest princess.
"I hope they can change it."
"They will definitely do it. They were all deceived by others in the past, but now that they are gone from those villains and awakened by you, they will definitely not go astray again in the future."
As soon as Grandma Li finished speaking, the voice of the maid came from outside the house.
Grandma Li quickly turned around and went outside to ask.
Not long after, I came back with a copy of the post.
"Is it a post from Wan Fulai?"
"Your Highness is right. It is indeed a message from Princess Wanfu, inviting you to attend a hotpot banquet outside the city tomorrow."
“Hot pot feast?”
The eldest princess was startled, she had never heard of this name.
Can we hold a banquet with hot pot?
"That's what the visitor said. I don't know exactly what a hot pot feast is, but Princess Wanfu always has a lot of novelties."
"What you said is quite right. The things on my mind are now over, so I should go out for a walk to relax."
Hearing this, Grandma Li nodded repeatedly, and the old slave went down to tell others to make preparations.
The eldest princess waved her hand.
"What is a hot pot feast?"
Wen Songtao and others who got the post at this time also looked confused.
Never heard of this?
"I don't know, son, but I'll know if I go over tomorrow and take a look. The things Princess Wanfu made will definitely be good."
Wenxuan was quite confident in Princess Wanfu.
"That's right. Then, eldest daughter-in-law, go and prepare the gifts. Our whole family will go there tomorrow."
Wen Songtao smiled and stroked his beard.
Su Shi responded with a smile and said, "I don't know what Yao Yao did, and how he was rewarded. It's really shocking."
"Since Your Majesty hasn't said anything, he certainly can't say anything for the time being. Don't ask, you will know when it's time to know."
"Yes, you must not inquire about this matter."
Although Wenxuan was curious, he still agreed with his father's words and repeatedly asked his wife.
"Whose post did you say it was?"
In the Mansion of the Founding Marquis, the current Founding Marquis Cheng Wu was startled when he heard the butler's report.
"Master Marquis, this is a message from the newly promoted Princess Wanfu, inviting you to the hotpot banquet tomorrow."
"Princess Wanfu, what message did she leave for me?"
Cheng Wu looked puzzled.
Since he took over his father's title, he has withdrawn from the court. In recent years, he has not been around many officials in the court. The rare ones he has been with are old brothers who have known each other for many years.
Today Princess Wanfu sent a message out of nowhere, which left him a little confused.
"Master, you are confused. Didn't Xiaoxue come back two days ago and say that he was going to Princess Wanfu's villa to stay for a few days?"
"Perhaps the two little sisters have become friends. Xiaoxue is still at Renshan Villa. There will be a celebration tomorrow, so naturally I will send a post."
After being reminded by his wife, Cheng Wu immediately remembered that his precious daughter and Princess Wanfu had hit it off immediately, and they had just met and said they were going to stay at her villa for a few days.
"I see, then go ahead. This girl Xiaoxue has often talked about Princess Wanfu in front of me before."
"I'm just saying this out of curiosity, but then again, Princess Wanfu is really powerful and has a pretty good reputation. It would be great for Xiaoxue to be friends with her."
Cheng Wu smiled and nodded repeatedly, and then asked the butler to prepare a generous gift.
"My master is right. Although Princess Wanfu has a strong connection with the Holy Family, she is very low-key and easy-going. I have never heard of her taking the initiative to provoke anyone."
"He is a good person, it would be nice to make friends with him."
Cheng Wu nodded repeatedly and then remembered what the butler said just now.
"Madam, you usually attend a lot of banquets. What is this hot pot banquet?"
"I don't know, but Princess Wanfu has always been good at tinkering with new things, maybe they are some novel objects."
"Indeed, let's go over and have a look on weekdays."
Just when everyone who received the post was wondering what a hot pot banquet was, in the imperial study, Emperor Hongwen also learned that Lu Yaoyao was going to entertain guests tomorrow.
"This girl is really ignorant. She didn't even give me a post."
Everyone else got the post, but he didn't. Emperor Hongwen was very unhappy.
Seeing this, Wang De said with a smile: "You are His Majesty, this is not a banquet that makes you qualified to go."
"And the banquet is held outside the city, which is even more inconvenient."
"What's the inconvenience?"
"If she doesn't invite me, then I have to go. Let's go out incognito tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Wang De was shocked. Just as he was about to speak, Emperor Hongwen glared back.
"I stay in this palace all year round and always need to relax."
"And aren't you curious about what this hot pot is?"
You already look like you must go, so what else can you say?
Wang De thought helplessly, but he was also quite curious about this hot pot.
Lu Yaoyao didn't know all of the above. At this time, she was greeting the people in the village to prepare for tomorrow's banquet.
There will be a lot of people coming here tomorrow, and the venue is going to be a fight.
It's impossible for people to sit in the open air in this winter.
Fortunately, when she was building the dormitory, she also prepared an oversized canteen.
It has never been put into use, and the seat is a certain distance from the dormitory building. It is no problem to arrange it there to accommodate four to five hundred people.
At this time, she was having people set up temporary stoves in various corners of the cafeteria for heating.
Dong Shaner, Cheng Lixue and Wen Miaomiao also helped decorate the venue.
Qiu Yu and Qiu Shuang greeted the farmers to prepare dishes.
But this time it’s a hot pot feast, so there’s no need to mess around with the cooking, you just need to prepare the side dishes.
For this reason, Lu Yaoyao also slaughtered two cattle. Of course, the public opinion was that the cattle were injured after falling. After all, these things cannot be slaughtered at will.
Chapter completed!
