Chapter 576 Meeting Su Ruying For The First Time (1/2)
Just as Yun Shang expected, the banquet in the Princess Palace was not casual at all. The important officials and their families were all invited. It's almost at the same level as the Palace Banquet. Before Yun Shang got off the carriage, she saw Liu Jin get off the carriage with his wife and enter the Princess Palace.
Yun Shang chuckled, ”so blatant! Does the princess really think everyone is deceived as she claimed to worship Buddha?”
Luo Qingyan also smiled at people coming in and out, ”I've heard that the princess holds three or four small banquets almost every year, and invites these people.”
”Really?” Yun Shang raised her eyebrows. The princess is a smart person. She knows how to hide herself and she has the patience.
Luo Qingyan opened the door of the carriage and got off. He held Yun Shang's arm and helped her get off. The servant had seen Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang the day before yesterday. He walked up and bowed to them, ”Prince Rui, Lady Rui, come in please.”
After entering the door, the gentle monk also came up, holding a plate in his hand, with four bamboo signs inside, ”Good day, Prince Rui and Lady Rui. The banquet will be held in four yards today. Which yard you could go depends on the card you chose. May I know who will choose the card?”
Luo Qingyan smiled and looked down at Yun Shang, ”Shang'er, you choose.”
Yun Shang giggled, ”I heard that sometimes the emperor decides which concubine he will dote on by turn over a card randomly. Today, I'm lucky enough to have a try.” Then she reached out her hand and took a bamboo plate. She turned it over and saw the word ”plum blossom” on it.
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and smiled. ”Excellent. My favorite is plum blossom.”
”Congratulations, your highness. It's the plum blossom garden.” The gentle monk smiled and said, ”Your highnesses, I'll send someone to take you there.” Then she called a maid to lead Yun Shang into the garden.
Last time when they came here, they stopped at the garden house and didn't see the scene inside. The maid cut through the garden house, passed through a long corridor, and turned right. After a while, they came to a garden with ”plum blossom garden” written on it.
