After seeing off the Yuan father and son, Yun Zheng immediately took Gao He and headed for the residence of Duke Jingguo.

The first invitation he personally delivered must be to Xu Shipu!

Xu Shipu was the maternal uncle of the Third Prince!

Once Xu Shipu was convinced, would others dare not send gifts?

"Your Highness, there's something I don't know if I should say..."

On the way, Gao He hesitated for a while before finally speaking.

"Just say it."

Yun Zheng smiled casually.

Gao He sighed with a bitter smile and said solemnly, "Going to Duke Jingguo's residence to deliver an invitation seems a bit humiliating."

"I know they all look down on me."

Yun Zheng pretended to sigh, "I also know they won't attend the banquet, but I have to fulfill my etiquette..."

Gao He was momentarily speechless and fell silent.

Soon, the two arrived at the residence of Duke Jingguo.

By now, it was almost dusk.

"The Sixth Prince?"

Upon hearing that Yun Zheng had come, the Xu family was surprised.

What does the Sixth Prince want?

Is he here to apologize?

Even if it's to apologize, he should go to the Third Prince's residence!

Why come here?

"Let's go and see."

Although Xu Shipu couldn't understand, he still called his family to greet Yun Zheng.

Even if they looked down on Yun Zheng, he was still the Sixth Prince.

If they didn't greet him, it would be disrespectful to the imperial family!

"Welcome, Your Highness!"

Xu Shipu led his family to the gate and bowed to Yun Zheng.

As a senior official, he and his family didn't need to kneel, but even a bow made him feel humiliated.

"Your Excellency, Duke Jingguo, no need for formalities."

Yun Zheng smiled "timidly" and got straight to the point, "I'm here to deliver an invitation to Duke Jingguo."

"An invitation?"

Xu Shipu was slightly stunned, "Has the date for your wedding with Shen Luoyan been set?"

While speaking, Xu Shipu didn't invite Yun Zheng in.

Yun Zheng didn't mind and shook his head, "Not for the wedding, but for a housewarming party. I plan to invite the officials of the court the day after tomorrow, and I hope Duke Jingguo will honor me with your presence."

Saying this, Yun Zheng handed over the invitation.

Xu Shipu took the invitation, glanced at it symbolically, and was about to close it when he suddenly felt something was amiss.

"This handwriting..."

Xu Shipu opened the invitation again, frowning slightly.

How familiar this handwriting is!

I've been waiting for this moment!

Yun Zheng chuckled inwardly but pretended to be embarrassed, "I know my handwriting isn't good, so I specially asked General Yuan Cong of Zuo Tunwei to write the invitation."
