"That's right, Your Highness will go out after breakfast, right?"

    "Naturally, if there is something to do, send someone to the military drill ground in the barracks to find me."

    The two were still in the period of newly married love, and they hadn't been together during the day for the past two days. Enjoying the tranquility in the north, it was actually busier than in the capital. Outsiders saw that Li Mingjin was extremely leisurely, and Luo Shuyu was still thinking about holding a banquet, but in fact they were operating step by step according to their plan.

    If they wanted to know the situation in Gucheng, they must first be familiar with the people and environment here. If they thought about it further, the officials who were in full control of this side must get rid of those who were unfavorable to them, no matter which camp they came from.

    After breakfast, Luo Shuyu sent Li Mingjin out. Before Li Mingjin got on the horse, Luo Shuyu suddenly said to him with emotion: "It's good that Your Highness is not here today."

    Li Mingjin frowned, thinking that his wife had something that bothering him: "Should I stay?"

    Luo Shuyu smiled slightly: "Your Highness, you know that not only the wives will be here today, but also their young and beautiful daughters and gers. Your Highness ia a good-looking talent. In the backyard, except me, you have no one else, so they naturally don't want to miss the opportunity to let their children rise to the top."

    Li Mingjin's frowning brows loosened: "Yu'er is jealous."

    Luo Shuyu didn't argue with him, he was indeed a little jealous: "Your Highness is right."

    Li Mingjin put his arms around his shoulders: "You are the only one in this life, there will be no one else, don't care about anyone."

    Luo Shuyu nodded: "Okay, I believe Your Highness. There is snow on the road, so be careful, and come back early, don't drink too much wine."

    The wine in the north was stronger than the wine in the capital, Luo Shuyu tried a sip, and he felt that his throat was burning, also drinking too much would definitely hurt his stomach.

    Li Mingjin: "Got it, it's windy outside, you can go back, don't be too tired."

    Luo Shuyu: "Yes."

    The two people who met everyday stayed at the gate for a long time before they really separated.

    Probably both of them had to start to face different challenges, and they needed to be encouraged for themselves or for each other.

    After sending Li Mingjin out, Luo Shuyu asked the servants to prepare for the lunch.

    The temperature in the north would only be higher at noon, and the banquet was scheduled for noon, not afternoon.

    He also brought some flower wine from the capital to the table today, and asked the ladies to taste it, at least what these good wines represented, he believed that smart people would understand.

    Of course, the banquet he held here was not Feast at Hongmen, but a mutual exploration banquet.

[鸿门宴 Hóng mén Yàn: Feast at Hongmen; fig. banquet set up with the aim of murdering a guest; refers to a famous episode in 206 BC when future Han emperor Liu Bang 劉邦|刘邦 escaped attempted murder by his rival Xiangyu 項羽|项羽]

    The wives wanted to know the conduct of the third imperial concubine, and Luo Shuyu also wanted to know their family background and interpersonal relationship.

    The wives represented their families, and Luo Shuyu represented the Third Prince's Mansion. This was a process of mutual testing.

    The weather was beautiful today, the sun was high and warm, although it was still cold, but it was comfortable to look at, which symbolized a good day.

    It was cold outside, Luo Shuyu arranged the banquet indoors. There was a relatively large hall in the mansion, and the view of the mansion could be seen on both sides, but it was a bit cold, so Luo Shuyu ordered someone to add a brazier in advance. The indoor temperature was much higher than outside, you might also sweat after sitting indoors for a long time.

    Of course, he knew from the book that using carbon fire in a closed space would cause poisoning, so he asked the servants to leave some gaps for ventilation.

    Luo Shuyu looked at Qingwang who was commanding the other servants to put things neatly in the room, and he was about to praise him, when Housekeeper Fu said that a guest had arrived.

    Looking at the time, it was only six o'clock, and someone had already arrived early.

    Luo Shuyu said: "Hurry up and invite the guest in. Just as I said before, you can receive the guests as you like, but you can't neglect them."

This was his first banquet here, and it couldn't make people feel that he was perfunctory.

    In order to show that he respected these wives, Luo Shuyu went directly to the front hall to meet them.

    To his surprise, the first ones to come to the door were the wife and daughter of General Ma. Mrs. Ma was round and chubby, and her voice was very loud. He heard that Mrs. Ma was known as a "shrew", and he didn't feel that people exaggerated it when he saw her today. Her daughter was as round as she was.

    Although Mrs. Ma looked like a " shrew ", her laughter was quite hearty.

    After Mrs. Ma and her daughter arrived, other wives arrived one after another.

    The two wives of the Wei family came earlier than the other wives, neither forward nor backward, not too prominent. However, the two husbands of the Wei family were still quite outstanding, they were the only husband besides Luo Shuyu.

    But all the wives of the generals would be willing to say a few words to them. He thought these two should have a good reputation among the wives of the generals, and the children they brought up were both gers.
