C94

She had only come here to tell her that Madame Li had agreed to the tea party of August 18th and was already writing a post.

Then, she whispered to Chu Yuehua that she had already sent news to Zhou Zhaoheng.

Although Zhou Zhaheng was young, under normal circumstances, he was still quite strict with his affairs.

If the girls here were to hold a tea party and she brought the crown prince over like that, it would be too eye-catching. They would definitely want to invite young masters around the same age as them.

This way, it would seem to be the right and proper way to do things, and Roland and the Crown Prince wouldn't feel awkward meeting each other.

Chu Yuehua was also happy in her heart. After Zhou Ruyun returned, she would have Ling think of a way to notify someone outside to send a letter to Ma Junjie.

Since their family was having a party like this, Zhou Zhaokun and the others in the academy definitely did not need to go to school, so Ma Junjie followed them over.

In less than two days, this matter was brought up and Madame Li came over personally to discuss it with the old lady.

It had been a long time since she saw Madame Li come over to pay her respects. Suddenly, when nothing had happened, she came over just like that. The old lady still didn't seem used to it.

When she mentioned this plan, the old lady smiled and nodded. "Very good, very good. Our family has not been so lively for a long time. In the past, when Rong'er was at home, she liked to invite other girls to come over and drink some tea and admire the flowers. After that, it became less lively."

Mentioning Zhou Yirong, the old lady's eyes reddened.

Chu Xuohua quickly smiled, "Our Mid-Autumn Festival just so happens to be right, so we can make some mooncakes and let the other girls have a taste of our mooncakes."

This was equivalent to changing the topic and discussing about the gathering.

"Even if you say it's a tea party, you still have to invite the ladies to eat at the mansion. When the list is out, I'll have someone ask around. What do the ladies like to eat, let the kitchen prepare well."

When Lady Deng saw the commotion, she followed suit. However, it was clear that she was gaining some power.

"Second Madam is right," Mistress Yang nodded with a smile. "Since the girls are coming, why don't we set them up in the small garden? "It's just that Feng Jing, who is at the head of the small garden, is not as good as Feng Jing, who is at the top."

"Just put it in the garden and let them all hide. We'll go to the outer sect." The old lady smiled.

"I still need the old lady to decide for me!" Hearing this, the Yang family laughed.

Mrs. Deng rolled her eyes in disdain, she just couldn't stand the way Mrs. Yang was trying to please the old lady.

When it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, almost all the posts that had almost been posted began to reply. On one hand, it was because the Hou Mansion really didn't hold many such gatherings and it was hard for many people to refute their pride. On the other hand, there was a senior concubine in the palace who was watching the coming general election, so it was naturally better to be a bit intimate with her at this time.

As such, most of the posts sent out would be accepted.

On the other hand, the Mid-Autumn Festival didn't seem to have any new flavor. It seemed that apart from the different food, the other patterns were all the same.

However, now that Zhou Mujiang had returned home, the courtyard was bustling with noise and excitement.

He had already taught Zhou Zhaoyun, Zhou Ruku and Chu Xuanghua how to make flower lamps in the courtyard of the main courtyard.

It was something he had learned outside, something he had even done. He had said that everyone was listening to music in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and then he had placed the lanterns in the lake. It was very beautiful and he had even bought a lot of colored candles, but he did not know where they had come from.

The group of people were having fun in the courtyard. They only had a hard time with Zhou Ruyun, who was sitting obediently beside the old lady.

His eyes were clearly staring straight ahead, yet he could only sit there without moving. From time to time, he would use his eyes to look at Ru Meng who was sitting behind him.

Chu Yuehua played with everyone and inadvertently saw the Duan Clan, who was sitting under an eaves.

Yet, she was smiling faintly as she looked at her husband and children. She was so beautiful that others couldn't tear their eyes away from her.

Chu Yuehua had always thought that the third wife, Lady Duan, was suffering in her heart. Although Zhou Mujiang didn't leave any concubines or rooms at home to ruin her heart, she rarely had the time to stay at home throughout the year.

She was born into a concubine and was unpopular with her family. She could not speak in front of her sister-in-law and had two young children. Such a marriage should have been a hard one.

However, her current smile made people feel very peaceful and beautiful, as if she was satisfied for the rest of her life.

Zhou Zhaokun was studying at his father's place and showing off to his mother. He seemed to be happy with the prosperity of the common people.

In a blink of an eye, the lively Mid-Autumn Festival came to an end, and the entire mansion began to prepare for the August 18th tea ceremony.

Who knew that when Zhou Ziheng returned home on the fifteenth of the eighth month, he said that His Highness the Crown Prince had heard the news and knew that a tea party was being held at the mansion. He wanted to borrow the mansion's place to gather and invite the various young masters.

This made the Yang family and Deng family, who had almost made up their plans, start to regroup.

This time, it was a completely different story. The Crown Prince coming and not coming was a completely different matter.

Chu Yuehua did not care about this. Since the matter was already handed over, she only needed to be like Chu Xuanhua and think about what she should wear that day.

The clothes were gifted to them on the sixteenth day. They were made from fragrant hair at the temples, and what had just appeared belonged to the sisters. Naturally, they couldn't be casually taken care of.

Although the materials used to make the two sisters were the same, they had different temperaments and naturally, the styles of their clothes were also different.

Chu Xuohua was generous, Chu Yuehua was agile, she was a pair of beautiful sisters.

On the morning of the 18th day, the two sisters woke up with Zhou Ruyun and Zhou Ruheng to greet the ladies who had arrived.

Everyone participated in a lot of events like this, so they knew when was the most appropriate time to attend the event.

When Roland entered through the drooping flower gate and saw Chu Yuehua standing next to Zhou Ruyun, no matter how calm he was, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

Zhou Ruyun knew of her identity, so she smiled and stepped forward to introduce her. "Miss Luo, this is my cousin Zhou Ruheng, and my cousin Chu Xuanhua. My cousin Chu Yuehua!"

After all, she was a young lady from the Grand Preceptor's estate. Roland quickly recovered from his shock and greeted them courteously before following everyone else inside.

In less than an hour, all the young ladies who replied had arrived.

Mo Wuji was no longer a stranger to Miss Mo and seeing that there were many who had never been here before, he helped to entertain her.

Although it was called a tea party, it was actually a gathering where a group of young ladies, who were used to being detained in the deep rooms, would come out to get some fresh air and chat with each other.
