The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 89 Spring Banquet (1)

"Miss, why don't you go to this Spring Banquet? The prince and the eldest young master specifically told us before they left to ask you to go out as little as possible." Shi Liu was sorting out the clothes that Jiang Li would wear to the Spring Banquet, while Chun Tao stood by and nodded in agreement. After all, ensuring the safety of the young lady was the top priority.

"But the eldest princess' invitation has been delivered to the mansion. If I don't go, I'm afraid I will neglect the eldest princess." Jiang Li said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"But it's too dangerous outside now!" After experiencing a series of storms, Chuntao also became timid.

"Don't worry! I will stay close to mother and won't run around. Besides, who would dare to mess around at the princess' banquet?" Jiang Li consoled her. After she said this, Shi Liu and Chun Tao also felt that there was some truth in her words and nodded.

Indeed, the eldest princess Mu Jiuqing is a legendary figure in the Shang Dynasty. Back then, the eldest princess followed the late emperor to fight everywhere and made great contributions to the country. After the court situation stabilized, she retired behind the scenes and enjoyed her old age. Today, both the current emperor and the regent respect this eldest sister. Under such circumstances, no one dared to cause trouble at the eldest princess's banquet.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the day of the Spring Banquet. In the morning, Jiang Li, dressed in a gorgeous brocade dress, with a graceful figure and a rosy face, followed Xie Lan and boarded the carriage to the Princess's residence.

The carriage was beautifully decorated, with soft carpets and a faint fragrance. Along the way, Jiang Li and Xie Lan talked and laughed.

When the carriage slowly stopped, Jiang Li looked out the window and was amazed by the scene in front of her. She saw a magnificent mansion standing in front of her, with a tall gate and a huge plaque hanging on the door, with four large golden characters "Princess Mansion" inlaid on it.

According to rumors, this mansion was specially built by the late emperor for the eldest princess' wedding. After years of vicissitudes, it is still well preserved. The entire mansion has a unique architectural style, with carved beams and painted rafters, magnificent and magnificent, fully demonstrating the royal nobility and luxury.

Jiang Li secretly sighed in her heart. Such a magnificent mansion is really breathtaking. She couldn't help but feel helpless about the upcoming Spring Banquet. It was a time of trouble. I'm afraid there will be many troubles at this Spring Banquet. Xie Lan patted her daughter to let her rest assured.

"Sister, Li'er." A familiar and kind voice came, and Jiang Li couldn't help but feel happy. She turned her head and saw her three aunts and her youngest cousin Xie Wen walking towards her.

My cousin Xie Wen is the youngest son of my uncle. He is only fourteen years old, handsome and refined. Unlike other children of the Xie family, he did not choose the path of martial arts, but was determined to become a civil official. Today, he is wearing a moon-white gown, which shows his elegant temperament.

"Aunt, second aunt, third aunt, cousin." Jiang Li hurriedly bowed and greeted the elders.

"Aunt, Sister Li'er." Xie Wen also returned the greeting to Xie Lan obediently.

After exchanging greetings, everyone walked into the princess's residence together. The aunts asked about Jiang Li's recent situation with concern, while Xie Wen stood quietly by the side, listening with a smile. His bright eyes looked at Jiang Li from time to time, revealing his love for this cousin.

Jiang Li and his aunts were chatting happily, and before they knew it, the topic turned to Xie Wen. The third aunt looked at Xie Wen lovingly and praised him, "Wen'er, you must learn from your eldest cousin and get a top score in the exam. Then, you will be the top scorer, and no one will laugh at us Xie family for only knowing how to wield swords and guns."

The second aunt said, "Yes, yes! When you become successful, we can also be proud of ourselves. Look at this banquet, how many people are willing to talk to us, hum~"

My aunt smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't embarrass the children. Li'er, Wen'er, you young people can go and have fun by yourselves."

Hearing this, Xie Wen nodded and said softly: "Aunt, second aunt, mother, aunt, Sister Li'er, I will go to find my classmates." After that, he walked towards the group of young masters.

Jiang Li secretly sighed in her heart. She believed that Xie Wen would achieve something in the near future. However, whether it was a good thing for a military family to train a civil official? She couldn't help but fall into deep thought...

"Aunt, I think I'd better not go. After all, my eldest brother told me to keep a low profile and go out less often." Jiang Li held his mother Xie Lan's arm tightly, looking well-behaved and cute.

After hearing this, the three wives of the Xie family looked at each other with Xie Lan, and the eldest aunt Wang Hua nodded slightly to show her agreement. Now that her eldest son and nephew are both in Jiangnan, the situation is unclear, so it is better to keep a low profile for the sake of caution.

"Yeah, that's so good!" Jiang Li was delighted after getting the recognition. Then the five of them found a secluded place, sat down and started chatting about family matters.
