Chapter 131 Stay a little longer
The prince looked at Dugu Xin with an almost expectant look. Dugu Xin didn't mind. After all, he had his confidants in the military camp, as well as his nephew who often went in and out with him. There was no rebellion at the moment, so he didn't have to worry too much.
So he said respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness, it is not a problem for me and my daughter to stay at the inn for a while longer."
The prince thought Dugu Xin was very sensible and laughed out loud: "Hahaha, then I'll have to trouble the King of Yunnan to stay in Chang'an for a while."
Li Chu saw that the time was right and said, "Father, it will take time for Yue'er to teach the palace maids. Uncle Dugu and the others can't stay in the inn forever, right?"
Li Ruo also echoed, "Yes, yes, father, it's so inconvenient to live in the post station all the time."
The prince looked at the two children singing in unison and asked, "Oh? Then I wonder what Chu'er and Ru'er think?"
Li Chu bowed and said, "Father, I can invite Uncle Dugu and his family to live in my house. However, it would be inconvenient for these two princesses to live in my house because they are women. Besides, Princess Yining needs to teach the palace maids and she has to go to the palace often. How about letting the two princesses live in the palace? Is that okay?" As he spoke, he kept looking at the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.
In fact, the prince had no objection. After all, he also intended to let Chu'er marry Princess Yi'an. He could observe her while she lived in the palace. And Princess Yining's almost magical makeup skills were exactly what he wanted.
So the Crown Prince looked at the Crown Princess. After all, they were female relatives, so he still had to ask for the Crown Princess's opinion.
The Crown Princess saw the Crown Prince's inquiring gaze, which was considered to be giving her enough face as the Crown Princess. She felt relieved and nodded slightly to the Crown Prince, saying, "It's all up to you, Your Highness!"
The Crown Prince was very pleased with the Crown Princess's reluctance to make a decision directly, so he waved his hand and settled the matter. Moreover, the Crown Princess missed her sister, so she bowed to His Royal Highness and said, "Your Highness, since this is the case, I have another request."
The Crown Prince helped the Crown Princess up and said, "Jia Wan, why are you being so polite? Just say whatever you want to say. Why bother with the formalities?"
The Crown Princess stood up and sat down, saying, "I am thinking about whether we can let the Zhennan Marquis and his family stay for a while. The men can stay at Chu'er's house, and the women can stay in the palace."
The prince knew that the princess missed her sister, especially since she might not see her for several years, so he agreed to the request.
After a lively chat, it was time for lunch. After a happy lunch, the Crown Princess arranged for Dugu Xin and Chu Xiaoyi to stay in the vacant chambers. Li Ruo took the other sisters back to her chambers, Li Dan took the other boys back to the chambers, and the Crown Princess took her sister, Wei Jiayan, back to the chambers. The Crown Prince and everyone agreed to meet in the main hall of Zhaoyang Palace at 3:00 PM.
By noon, everyone had returned to Zhaoyang Palace, except for two more people: Xiao Liangdi and Li Xi. After all, they were also members of the Crown Prince's family, so they were bound to go to Zhengyang Palace with the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. However, Li Xi was still on crutches because he had been a cushion for Chu Xinyu last time...
So when Chu Xinyu saw it, she felt quite embarrassed and wanted to go up and apologize, but Li Ruo had always disliked this mother and son, so she stopped Chu Xinyu from going forward.
Li Xizi also noticed the actions of Li Ruo and Chu Xinyu, but he was even more dazzled by Chu Xinyu's outfit today. He was a little dazed. It was not until the prince called him and asked about his injury that he came to his senses and answered.
Li's mother, Consort Xiao Liangdi, kept looking at the Crown Princess and didn't notice her son's reaction. Because the Crown Princess looked a lot younger with her makeup today, Xiao Liangdi, who always prided herself on her beauty and youth, was surprised and gnashed her teeth in anger.
In this way, everyone gathered and set off for Zhaoyang Palace. Since only the prince and the princess were qualified to ride in the palace sedan chair, they simply walked there together.
This time it was a grand gathering, with a group of masters and a group of palace servants following behind them. There were dozens of people in total.
Because Li Xi's injury had not fully healed, everyone walked slowly. During this period, Li Ruo felt that her second brother was really a drag and wanted to leave the team, but she gave up the idea after receiving warnings from both the Crown Princess and Li Chu.
It finally took about three quarters of an hour to arrive at Zhaoyang Palace.
Because it was the emperor's birthday, many officials brought their families to Zhaoyang Hall in advance. At this time, more than half of the people were already seated in Zhaoyang Hall.
