Bai Shan said, "We've been busy with affairs since returning to the capital and only managed to free up some time now. Originally, we intended to host guests at our home for a gathering, but Princess Danyang coincidentally hosted her summer banquet. If the princess and Liu Huan declined the summer banquet, it wouldn't be appropriate to visit my house, so we decided to meet outside instead."
He laughed, "I figured Senior Brother and scholarly sister-in-law might not be keen on attending the summer banquet either, so I invited them."
Madam Tang overheard a few words and turned her head, "Exactly, I didn't want to go to that summer banquet. It's so hot, the sun is so bright, even in the open pavilion it feels uncomfortable, and with many people, the heart feels stifled."
Manbao asked curiously, "Why is Princess Danyang hosting a banquet at this time?"
