Xiang Yu had never expected that he would forget the most important person, Li Er, even though he had invited everyone.
"Mr. Wei, don't laugh. Quickly think of a way to help me make up for it.”"He must be cursing me in the Eastern Palace right now," Xiang Yu pleaded with a bitter face.”
"Haha, are you anxious now? Where did you go earlier?" Wei Zheng laughed and waved his hand."Actually, it's not too late to make amends now…"
Then, she whispered into his ear.
After receiving Wei Zheng's instructions, Xiang Yu hurried back to the manor and started to work according to Old Wei's instructions.
When it was evening, he finally packed up and rushed to the Eastern Palace with Xiang Da and his retinue.
Eastern Palace, in front of the main gate.
The guard captain of the Heaven's Policy Army looked as if he had eaten a bitter gourd."Marquis Champion, my Great General, please don't make things difficult for us. The Crown Prince really doesn't want to see you.”
"You brat, help me pass it on again. Even if he doesn't want to see me, I won't leave."”
"Aiyo, we wouldn't dare to repeat it a second time. It's not like you don't know our General. He's usually amiable, but when he acts up, he's as furious as thunder.”
Then, Major Heavenly Policy smiled sinisterly and went up to Xiang Yu.""Hey, little brother, how did you offend our general? Tell them and let everyone have fun.”
"Get lost." Xiang Yu laughed and scolded helplessly, then said,""Since the Crown Prince doesn't want to see me, you brat, make another trip and report to the Crown Princess that I'm here to deliver the invitation.”
After saying that, he threw an ingot of gold to the colonel."I'm holding a banquet tomorrow. You guys are on duty and can't come.”
"Haha, thank you Lord Marquis for your reward.”
"Get lost, stop being so silly." Xiang Yu kicked the officer and urged him with a smile.
"Alright, the Crown Princess Consort is a kind person and will definitely see you.”After saying that, the small school disappeared in a flash.
In less than ten minutes, the captain ran out with a face full of joy."Brother, the Crown Princess has invited you."
"Alright, thanks." Xiang Yu nodded and waved at the officer. Then, she followed a palace maid to the back hall.
Eastern Palace, study room.
After Li Er heard the report from the small school, he laughed and scolded,"This kid is really cunning. He actually knows how to get close to the crown prince consort.”
Eastern Palace, rear hall.
After Xiang Yu and the Crown Princess Zhangsun saw the greeting, they smiled and handed over the golden invitation.
Zhangsun took the invitation and looked at it. Then, he smiled sweetly and said,"Your general is holding back his anger today. Do you know why?”
"Hehe, of course I know. I sent the invitation too late." Xiang Yu laughed and then explained,"However, I have my reasons. It was recorded in ancient books that if a subject invited the emperor, he must bathe, smell incense, and change his clothes before it was appropriate.”
"Oh? So, you were fasting, bathing, and incense at home?”The eldest grandson, who was graceful and graceful, covered his mouth and chuckled."I also told your general that the more important the guest, the more important the invitation should be placed at the end to show respect.”
Xiang Yu's eyes lit up." The Crown Princess Consort is the most understanding. That's how it is." You see, no matter what kind of banquet it is, the big shots are always the last to arrive to appear special and respected. It's the same for sending invitations."
At this moment, a loud voice came from outside,""So what if you forgot? How dare you quibble like this? Who taught you this?”
Hearing this voice, Xiang Yu stood up and smiled.""General, you've misunderstood. " I specifically asked Mister Wei to check the ancient books. It said that to invite the emperor, one must fast, bathe, change clothes, and use incense. One must also choose an auspicious time to send the invitation. These are all the teachings of the ancients. You can't blame me.”
"If you don't believe me, smell it. I still have the fragrance of incense on my body.”
After Li Er heard this, although he was still cursing, his expression was indeed much better. Especially when he heard that this kid had invited him according to the etiquette of the emperor, it made him feel even more comfortable.
"You've learned to be smart now. You actually asked Wei Zheng to give you advice.”
Li Er, who was in a good mood, took the invitation card. After reading it, he asked,"Are you still missing a few people for your housewarming?”
"Are you talking about Hou Junji, Zhang Liang, and the others?”When Xiang Yu mentioned these people, she looked extremely indignant."These guys come to find trouble with me every day. Why should I invite them? Dream on."
"You brat, how can you say that?”Li Er suddenly put on airs." In the future, you will still be officials of the same dynasty. You may even fight together. It is better to let go of enemies than to keep them. Listen to BenGong and send them an invitation."”
At this moment, Zhangsun also chimed in,"Yeah, if you don't send an invitation, they'll say you're rude. If you send an invitation, they won't have an excuse to attack you. You've done your part. Whether they come or not has nothing to do with you.”
Since Li Er and his wife had said so much, Xiang Yu no longer insisted."Alright, I'll listen to the Crown Princess Consort. When I return, I'll send someone to send them an invitation.”
Li Er helplessly smiled at his wife. People of noble status like Hou Junji and Zhang Liang generally needed their masters to personally send out invitations. However, this kid wanted to send a servant to send them off. It was obvious that he was humiliating them.
However, this kid had already taken a step back. It would be extremely difficult for him to personally send the invitation.
After that, Xiang Yu seemed to have thought of something and turned to greet Lady Zhangsun,""Crown Princess, I have a presumptuous request for you. I don't have any female guests in my house. This time, I'll have to invite you to preside over the overall situation and receive the female guests.”
When Li Er heard this, he stood up and kicked him.""You brat, you're too much of a bastard. Are you prepared to let the crown prince consort stand in front of your residence to welcome guests and send them off?”
"Of course not. The specific reception will be done by others. What the Crown Princess did was to preside over the situation in the back hall.”Xiangyu explained with a smile.
Madam Zhangsun was very straightforward. She stood up and said,"Alright, leave this to me. I haven't seen those imperial wives for a long time, so I can take this opportunity to bond with them.”
Li Er's eyes lit up. He instantly understood something from his wife's words.
Now, Li Er was the Crown Prince, and it could be said that in a few months, he would ascend the throne.
In the future, as the wife of the mother of a country, she could take this opportunity to get to know those imperial wives.
When Xiang Yu saw that the Zhangsun clan had agreed to take charge of the rear hall, the worry in his heart finally settled.
Just as he was about to leave, a few brats suddenly walked out from the back hall.
"Mother, I want to go out and play too." A handsome young man who looked somewhat similar to Li Er said coquettishly.
"There's still me, there's still me." Another chubby boy was unwilling to fall behind and shook his grandson's arm.
While the two teenagers were pestering their eldest grandson, another girl with bright eyes and white teeth, who looked like a fairy who had walked out of a painting, ran to Li Er's side."Father, father, I want to go too. I want to go out and play too.”
Li Er instantly turned from a dignified crown prince into a slave to his daughter. He hurriedly squatted down and said,"Good, good. Father will definitely bring you out to have fun tomorrow.”
