capital girl

Chapter 27 The Banquet Meets Shigure
Holding the exquisite invitation card, Li Yulou didn't know what to do, his mind went blank.

What is she capable of, she is just a small business girl, her father is just a juren, a teacher, no official or job.

"Miss, can I also see the imperial concubine, I heard that she is the most beautiful woman in the world..." Chuntao became excited, and suddenly felt that her melon seeds were no longer fragrant.

"Don't be so excited, go to Zhou Ying to find out if their family has been invited by the imperial concubine or not." Li Yulou instructed Chuntao.

Chuntao agreed and went out.

Li Yulou looked at the whole invitation carefully again.The invitation card is very exquisite, naturally it was not made by the imperial concubine herself, but there is a seal representing her identity on it.

It's not a symbol that just anyone can use.

Li Yulou thought about her ordinary 17 years, but she didn't expect to have any intersection with the imperial concubine.

Li Yulou was not happy because of receiving this invitation, but felt that Alexander, holding the invitation in his hand was worth a thousand gold.

Chun Tao came back soon, jumping up and down happily, humming a ditty, "Miss, their family didn't receive it, only you, how do you know the imperial concubine..."

Li Yulou let go of her anger, thinking that if Zhou Ying also received the invitation, then she would be more relaxed.

She rolled her eyes at Chuntao, "You were only four years old when you came to my house, we grew up together, when did you see me interacting with the imperial concubine..."

Chuntao thought about it for a while, and she was sure that there was no such thing, and she also had doubts in her heart.

"Maybe it's the master, or maybe it's the madam?" Chun Tao raised her eyebrows.

For Chuntao, these are not important, the result that she may meet the most honorable woman in the world is the most important.

Li Yulou did not make a special trip to call Zhang Xiulan and Li Xu back.They came back during dinner, and she didn't tell the two of them until after dinner.

The reaction of the two was the same as hers, and they didn't speak for a while.

"No wonder you ate so little today. I thought you usually ate too much and wanted to save some rice today..." Zhang Xiulan suddenly said slowly, as if her brain couldn't keep up with it.

Li Yulou,...

Now is the time to talk about this, not to mention that she can't afford to eat two catties of rice a day.

"What should I do, go or not..." Li Yulou said.

"You said that..." Li Xu glanced at her, "This is the imperial concubine, the concubine, we will kneel down and kowtow when we see her."

It is also true, she has no ability to resist, but she is just asking for trouble.

She is a grassy thing, and the imperial concubine is a strong wind. When the strong wind comes, the grassy thing can only float with the wind. Thinking about it all afternoon is futile.

"Since I have to go, I'll take a shower and pick out what clothes to wear tomorrow, which can stand up to the scene and not be too eye-catching..." Li Yulou stood up and said.

She is a character who decides what to do and takes action.

"I'll pick it for you!" Zhang Xiulan also stood up, three beats later, because Li Yulou had already reached the door.

"No need, mother, your aesthetics are too bad..." After Li Yulou finished speaking, he left the door of the main house and closed the door by the way.The old couple will inevitably toss and turn tonight, making it difficult to sleep.

It didn't take much effort for Li Yulou to choose a suit of clothes, with a yellow shirt on top, Zhu Qun on, and a green tie on his shoulders, making him look youthful.

Her breasts are well-shaped, round and full, and big enough, so she chose a V-shaped neckline that doesn't have much breast augmentation.

"Miss, it's too casual to wear like this..." Chun Tao looked at the suit Li Yulou was trying on.

"Don't be too high-profile. Although the imperial concubine is beautiful, she is a woman in her early forties after all, so she can't be too beautiful in front of her..." Li Yulou looked at himself in the mirror, quite satisfied, mainly because she was good-looking, Everything is beautiful.

"Then what kind of bun are you going to wear?" Chuntao picked up a comb to comb Li Yulou's hair.

"Looking at the fairy bun at the temples..." Li Yulou said confidently.

On the second day, Li Yulou wore the clothes she wore at night, combed her hair in a bun, and put the jade hairpin that Meng Shiyu gave her that day on her head.

The fairy bun with double temples is not suitable for too many hair accessories, a hosta is enough.

The carriage stopped outside the gate of the imperial concubine's house.There are a lot of carriages here, the entire Xiuzhou and even the Hangzhou government, as well as the family members of officials from other state capitals, all came to the banquet of the imperial concubine and empress.

Naturally, Li Yulou didn't let his family's carriage go inside, so he just found a secluded place to park in a very remote corner of the parking lot.

Li Yulou took Chuntao to the gate of the mansion, and took out the invitation from his purse.

"Young maids are not allowed to go in." A decent woman glanced at Chuntao and said expressionlessly.

"Why?" Chuntao blurted out.

The woman's cold eyes shot at Chuntao like a knife.

Chuntao bit her lip and lowered her head, avoiding her mother-in-law's gaze, she was so wronged that she was about to cry, she didn't sleep all night, she made today's dress, just to wear it to see the imperial concubine, woo woo woo.

Li Yulou reached out and patted Chuntao's shoulder to comfort her.

To Li Yulou, the mother-in-law was not very polite, she touched her body once, and then let her in.

Li Yulou saw that other wives did the same to other female relatives, so he didn't care anymore.

Some women felt embarrassed and their cheeks flushed.

Li Yulou walked towards the garden after the security check, and a special little maid led the way.Li Yulou was amazed at how many people the imperial concubine had brought from the capital, at least thousands of people.

Although she doesn't care about world affairs, she has also heard about the difficulties of the imperial court. There are wars everywhere, and pirates are rampant here in Xiuzhou, costing a lot of money, but the government always owes the sailors their salaries.

Li Yulou felt that she was thinking too much, she was just a little business girl, but she couldn't control so much.

The garden is indeed beautiful, many times more beautiful than the Chunxi Garden they often go to, but this is just entering the yard, and it will be more beautiful in the future.

At this moment, Li Yulou saw a group of people coming from another place.Although the passages to enter the door are different, they will meet here. There is a flower bed between the two passages, and the flower bed is full of extremely gorgeous peonies.

Li Yulou didn't know much about peonies. Some people said that one expensive peony was enough for an ordinary family to live for several years.

Her eyes flickered from the peony flower, and landed on the slightly surprised face of a young man. She was surprised for a moment, and then showed the most brilliant smile.

Maybe it's because the girl's smile is so beautiful that I have been a little dumbfounded for many years.

But the girl's smile is only for the boy she likes.

"Shi Yu..." Li Yulou smiled and called the boy's name, waving the handkerchief in his hand to greet him.

There was a faint smile on the corner of the boy's lips, and the brows raised.

Li Yulou was dumbfounded, and wanted to step over these peonies that obstructed the eyes and run to the boy.
