Li Hao has already told Minglan everything he can say, and the rest depends on Minglan's own choices.

However, with Minglan's personality, she should know how to make strong connections, and would not really disregard the safety of the Sheng family, especially the old lady.

Putting his mind aside, Li Hao continued to make his own plans, in order to better take the initiative in a possible mutiny in the future.

Li Hao decided to start a new round of drills in the camp so that his soldiers would not slack off and forget to fight, especially the newly recruited ones.

While Li Hao was busy, Zhu Liangzu sent a message from the Yongjia Marquis Mansion, celebrating the birth of the eldest son Zhu Liangquan.

The banquet was attended by all the high-ranking officials and their family members in the capital. Because Li Hao was familiar with Zhu Liangzu, Zhu Liangzu invited all his colleagues in the camp and their family members.

After Li Hao returned home, he told Mrs. Wei the news and asked Mrs. Wei if she would like to go and see the excitement.

At first, the Wei family was unwilling to go, and just let Li Hao go on his own. Li Hao could understand this reply. After all, the Wei family had not had much dealings with the Bianjing official family, and they were really familiar with it.

That is Mrs. Wang from the Sheng family and Mrs. Xue from the Ouyang family.

Among them, I became acquainted with Mrs. Xue after I was invited to chat with her several times during Li Hao's expedition.

But within two days, Wei changed her mind and told Li Hao that she would go with Li Hao that day.

This made Li Hao a little curious, so he asked: "My mother couldn't agree to it the day before yesterday. Why did she suddenly change her mind today?"

Wei replied: "I was the only one who went there, and I didn't know anyone. I couldn't talk to them when I went there. It was so boring to just sit there."

But today I went to Sheng Mansion and heard Mrs. Wang say that they will also attend the banquet, and Minglan will also come there.

In addition, Mrs. Wang heard that I received the post and invited me to go with her. I thought since I have someone to accompany me, I would go and see the excitement."

After hearing what Wei said, Li Hao didn't say anything in person, but in fact it was a bit strange.

I have never heard of any relationship between the Yongjia Marquis Mansion and the Sheng family, so why would they invite the Sheng family?

Li Hao somewhat suspected that Qi Heng was the culprit. After all, he had precedents in the play, one was the polo match, and the other was the Gu family's appreciation banquet.

Although in the show, during the thank you banquet, Princess Pingning sent someone to tell the Sheng family to go with them.

But if you think about it, Princess Pingning would never do this under the nose of Princess Yong. Most likely, Qi Heng asked someone to tell her.

So after arriving at the camp, Li Hao invited Zhu Liangzu and asked him if he knew why he invited the Sheng family.

However, it was obvious that Zhu Liangzu didn't know anything about this. He only said that his family should have no connection with the Sheng family, and then asked Li Hao why he asked this.

After being put off by Li Hao, Li Hao then asked if anyone from Prince Yong's Palace and Duke of Qi's Palace would attend. After receiving a positive reply, Li Hao started to murmur in his heart.

I thought that this was going back to the original timeline. Isn't this banquet a replica of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion's appreciation banquet?

So on the same day, Li Hao went to Sheng Mansion, trying to persuade Minglan not to go, lest the situation would be difficult if Princess Pingning did not rescue the siege this time.

But when they arrived at Sheng Mansion, Minglan excused herself by saying that it was too cold to see guests, so she didn't let Li Hao in.

He went all the way in vain, but instead he was summoned by the old lady to Shou'antang Hall for questioning.

Seeing Li Hao, the old lady asked straight to the point: "Mrs. Huining Hou came to see me two days ago and told me about Pinlan.

I have promised to write to Youyang and ask your uncle Sheng Wei to take Pinlan to Bianjing so that Mrs. Song can see her.

Tell me what kind of trouble you guys caused, but fortunately no outsiders knew about it, otherwise it would be a joke."

Li Hao replied: "You really can't blame me for this. I didn't want to take Zhang Wen to Youyang, but he insisted on following me.

After that, he fell in love with Miss Pinlan at first sight, and he planned to explain it directly in Youyang. It was Gu Tingye and I who persuaded him to stop.

He was asked to go home first to inform his parents, and then come and talk to the Sheng family after their parents agreed.

But at that time, I just thought that Zhang Wen was acting on a whim and that things would be fine after a while. But who knew that he would actually tell his parents when he came back.

Just because of this matter, I was called to Huininghou Mansion for questioning, which made me very embarrassed."

The old lady said: "You guys are really just fooling around. Fortunately, Mr. and Mrs. Hui Ning are both sensible and kind-hearted people.

If this thing comes to pass, it will be a good thing for Pinlan and the Youyang Sheng family, and your uncle Sheng Wei will have to thank you for it."

After saying this, the old lady asked Li Hao what he was doing here today.

Li Hao couldn't tell his true purpose, so he could only say that he was helping the Wei family to send a message to Minglan, but he didn't expect Minglan to be unwell.

But if what you wear doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter if you wait until another time.

Then Li Hao said goodbye to the old lady and left Sheng Mansion.

As for Minglan who was determined to go, Li Hao had no choice but to take a step and watch a film to see what the situation would be like that day.

On the day of the banquet, because Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wang had made an appointment, they met directly at the gate of the Yongjia Marquis Mansion.

Li Hao and Wei arrived first that day and waited outside the house.

However, before Mrs. Wang could wait, he happened to see Mrs. Xue coming with Ouyang Fa and his wife Li Shi. Li Hao hurried forward to pay his respects.

When Mrs. Xue saw Li Hao and others refusing to go in outside the mansion, she asked why.

I heard Mrs. Wei said that she was waiting for someone, so I just waited outside with her, and chatted with Mrs. Wei by the way.

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Wang arrived with Minglan, Rulan, and Molan. After the group met, they entered the Hou Mansion. However, during this period, Minglan deliberately avoided Li Hao and stayed far away all the way.

After entering the house, the female family members gathered around the house and walked over with the maid leading the way.

Li Hao happened to meet Zhang Wen, so he took him to a hiding place and asked about the news about Youyang Sheng's family.

When he heard Li Hao say that Pinlan and Sheng Wei were coming to Beijing, he was very excited.

Then Li Hao poured cold water on her: "You're happy too early. Just because you like Pinlan doesn't mean your mother also likes her. You'd better be more thoughtful and pay attention."

Zhang Wen didn't care about Li Hao's splash of cold water. He turned around and pulled Li Hao towards Gu Tingye. All the noble disciples under Li Hao gathered here.

Only Zhu Liangzu had to help entertain the guests, so after chatting for a few words, he was called away.

Seeing that Zhu Liangzu could not be asked, Li Hao asked Gu Tingye in a low voice: "Have you seen Qi Heng since you came here? Didn't you say that the Duke of Qi is also here?"

Hearing Li Hao's words, Gu Tingye didn't think much and answered directly: "I heard that their family will come, but it seems that they have never seen Qi Heng.

But this is normal, he has always loved to write and write, and he is much closer to the Qingliu family than we are, so you have something to do with him."

"It's nothing, just asking." Li Hao said perfunctorily.
