548 Invitation to a Banquet 3

Early the next morning, Shen Qingxi indeed took Shen Qingrong and Shen Qingfu to Zhishuiju.

After Shen Qingxi explained his purpose, the old lady naturally smiled and said after a moment, "Since Rong'er and Fu'er are going, then take Hui'er with her as well. Just go with you sisters together."

Shen Qingxi smiled and nodded. The old lady ordered someone to prepare a set of faces for several girls, so that several people could attend the banquet beautifully. In this way, Shen Qingrong and the younger ones were happy. Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Qingxi took the gift to Anding Hou Mansion. The last time she hurriedly left, Shen Qingxi now ordered someone to prepare a generous gift.

When I arrived at Anding Hou Mansion, I learned that Song Yushan and Song Ze had left the city and went out of the Northwest Army. Only Yue happily held Shen Qingxi's hand and spoke, "Your grandfather and your cousin have both left the city. The Northwest Army is stationed outside, and there are many things to be busy with. The emperor's reward has been delivered. In a few days, your cousin will go to the Ministry of War first, and your grandfather's military power will be temporarily handed over to the few young generals below. Then you will come to accompany your grandfather every day."

Shen Qingxi smiled and said, "Okay, I will definitely come every day by then. My cousin entered the Ministry of War at such a young age. He will definitely have a bright future in the future! My aunt must be very pleased..."

Song Ze was indeed the pride of Yue. As soon as Shen Qingxi said this, Yue suddenly laughed, "Do you think your cousin is very powerful, do you also think you are awesome?"

Shen Qingxi smiled, "That's natural. My cousin is a young hero. He is extraordinary. He will be the pillar of the Hou's Mansion in the future!"

Yue pointed at the tip of Shen Qingxi's nose, and was very satisfied. Song Ze had a good evaluation of Shen Qingxi, and Shen Qingxi's evaluation of Song Ze was also good, but it was just right!

Yue's eyes rolled, "On the Lantern Festival two days, I'll ask your cousin to take you to the Lantern Festival!"

When Shen Qingxi heard this, his expression changed slightly and said helplessly, "Ah, I'm afraid it won't work. My aunt didn't know anything. The lady from the Minister of Rites posted a post to me yesterday, saying that she would hold a banquet at home on the day of the Spring Festival. She invited many noble ladies from the capital to go, and I have already agreed."

When Yue heard this, he felt a little regretful, but he smiled and said, "This is also a good thing. You have just returned to Beijing for less than a year and you should really go around more. The family of the Minister of Rites is quite family-style. You should have a good relationship with them."

As he said this, Yue didn't know what he thought of, "Which day did you say about the Lantern Festival?"

Shen Qingxi nodded, and a glimmer flashed in Yue's eyes, "So that's it..."

Shen Qingxi knew that things were not simple at first sight, so she looked at Yue. Yue pointed at the tip of her nose again and said with a smile, "I will only look at this and tell you, you are not allowed to tell other girls, do you know?"

Shen Qingxi nodded, and Yue said, "The Minister of Rites and the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy. I heard from your cousin that on the day of the Spring Festival, the Minister of Rites invited the prince and the young nobles in the capital to set up a chat banquet in the Sun Mansion..."

Shen Qingxi understood as soon as he heard this, his father set up a chat banquet, firstly to help the prince win over young nobles, and secondly, he was afraid that he wanted to see his daughter. Sun Shuning invited so many young sisters, so he naturally wanted to be beautiful in adulthood. In this way, the meaning of this banquet changed suddenly!

Yue took Shen Qingxi's hand tightly, "Xi'er, when you go to Shangyuan Banquet, don't run around. Just make more friends with a few young sisters. Others should be careful."

Yue thought to himself that her niece was valued by her son, and she could not be snatched away by others. However, Shen Qingxi was moved when she heard it, and only thought that Yue was afraid that she would be flirted by other men!
