Nowadays, the Little Prince is not on good terms with the Elder Princess.
Recently, he even got involved in the Southern Border incident.
Not only was the Elder Princess called into the palace for a reprimand, but even the Little Prince was grounded.
Currently, the Elder Princess has no intention of leaving the palace, seemingly planning to retreat to a life of chanting prayers, closing her doors to visitors.
This time, the Chu familyās banquet.
Ye Muyu also sent an invitation to the Elder Princessās residence.
But as the Princessā Mansion did not send any visiting cards beforehand, it seems they wonāt attend.
In this situation, the Huo family has been keeping a low profile lately, trying not to cause any disturbances.
Additionally, the Huo familyās status has declined over time, as their most noteworthy achievement was the prematurely deceased emperorās son-in-law, who ironically, despite becoming emperorās son-in-law, lost his prospects.
However, they still have ties to the Royal Family through marriage.
The younger generation with any success in the Huo family managed to progress smoothly.
Unfortunately, the Huo family hasnāt produced any talented youths.
As a result, theyāve been somewhat neglected in the capital these years.
Ye Muyu thought for a while, if she remembered correctly, Huo Ning is a member of the Huo familyās second household, essentially the emperorās son-in-lawās niece.
"Pay more attention to her." Ye Muyu thought for a moment, given the treatment Huo Ning receives in the Huo family, itās likely that the lady of the second household is difficult to deal with. Thereās a need to use both kindness and authority to prevent them from causing trouble on her grounds.
To avoid causing unnecessary problems.
"Alright, I donāt know if Huo Ning will come, Uncle Lu is really useless, itās been so long, and he hasnāt proposed yet." Chu Ziluo sighed lightly.
Ye Muyu looked a bit odd, "How do you know about their affair?"
"Last time, when I came out of the bathhouse, I happened to see Uncle Lu with Huo Ning dressed as a man. Seeing Uncle Lu so awkward, I couldnāt help but pay more attention." Saying this, she couldnāt help but blink mischievously.
Ye Muyu listened, unable to help but laugh, "Haha, if you tell Uncle Lu heās awkward, heāll definitely give you a sharp-tongued comeback."
"Thatās why I say heās awkward. If he likes her, he should find a way to marry her. Otherwise, if someone else gets there first, heāll be left crying." Chu Ziluo shook her head seriously, "Heās already an adult, yet still not honest in his feelings."
Ye Muyu knocked her on the head, "You, so mature at such a young age, donāt suddenly bring home a son-in-law someday."
Chu Ziluo rubbed her head, thought seriously for a while, and only then said, "Probably not."
Ye Muyu: "..." Daughter, saying it like that really doesnāt reassure me.
The two exchanged humorous banter.
Not feeling bored at all.
However, Ye Muyu had to entertain Madam Huo and several other Ministry of Rites officialsā wives.
Chu Ziluo then went with the housekeeper to arrange matters for the banquet three days later.
Madam Huo was urged to come by her old man back home.
Upon entering, she held Ye Muyuās hand and complained, "My old man keeps urging me to go out, afraid Iāll be late, saying I must ask you if there are any other books on phonetics."
"And those overseas scripts, surely they can be learned too?"
Ye Muyu invited the ladies in.
She smiled and said, "Overseas scripts, actually, are like our Great Chuās characters, they all have learning methods, just that no one systematically studied them before, hence unknown."
"But as for the specific learning methods, I canāt confirm, itās up to all the gentlemen to research together. When you return to your mansions, remember to urge your gentlemen."
Several Ministry of Rites officialsā wives heard this, and indeed showed some curiosity.
