Hua Qi and Li Tieshuan walked behind those people, completely ignoring them, but continued to talk about the historical allusions of the chrysanthemum concave as they walked. In this way, the two people's casual appearance attracted more people in the pavilion and corridor.

Women pay attention.

"Look at the two gentlemen at the end. They seem to be very strange. I have never seen them before!" One of the quick-talking ladies whispered.

Someone lifted the curtains around them and peeked out. They saw the man in a blue brocade shirt. He looked handsome and handsome, and his expression was sincere when talking and laughing. He was very different from the flamboyant young men in the capital.

But the man in white is tall and handsome, and he looks like he grew up in a wealthy family. He is full of nobility. When the two of them walk together, they complement each other and are unforgettable.

At this moment, Yang Mo'er was sitting with a cousin from her aunt's family. Naturally, she also knew Chu Yiqing's arrangements for today. She felt a little nervous. After hearing what everyone said, she looked back and saw that it was not Chu Huan. She immediately felt a little nervous.

disappointment.

"Is it him!?" Suddenly, Yang Moer's aunt's cousin said in surprise, seeming to recognize those two people.[

"Cousin, do you know those two people?" Yang Mo'er whispered.

Yang Moer's aunt's cousin smiled and nodded. She never expected that the young young master would actually arrive in the capital and have the chance to meet again.

When the maid behind the young lady heard what her young lady and Yang Moer said, she looked out. When she looked at her, she couldn't help but say, "It's that stubborn young master!"

It turns out that Yang Mo'er's cousin was the woman who met Hua Qi that day in Lucheng because of a willow tree. For some reason, that time was just a small episode when she went to Lucheng to find her relatives.

But she didn't expect that after a few years, the image of that young man would be so clear in her mind.

"Yun'er, don't talk like that!" Lu Ningxin said in a low voice.

When the women saw that Lu Ningxin knew one of the men, they immediately started asking around.

"I only met him once when I was in Lucheng!" Lu Ningxin said in a low voice, "It is said that he is the grandson of the former Lord Protector of the Country, and the candidate for this term!"

Huafu is also well-known in Lucheng. The potted plant that Lu Ningxin bought was later taken back to her relatives. When talking about Yajizhai, the wealthy families in Lucheng naturally knew that it was the property of Huafu. Naturally, the Shaotong family

He was the young master of Huafu, and from then on, Lu Ningxin remembered Huafu.

When the girls heard this, they were immediately a little disappointed. Among the women here, if you pick any one at random, any one who is not an official, the lowest is the sixth grade. As the saying goes, marry a high-ranking husband and marry a low-ranking wife. In their opinion, the flower

Even though Qi is a senior figure in the previous dynasty, he is just a small official now. Unless he wins the first prize in the competition next year, he will not be worthy of them!

"What about the other one?" He continued to ask without giving up.

Lu Ningxin quickly said: "I don't know the other one!"

A young lady gathered around another young lady and said, "Why don't you send the little maid to find out more!"

The other lady nodded and sent her maid to the hall.

After a while, the little maid came back and said, "That man is a relative of Young Master Hua, and he said he came from Chu Han."

Everyone was even more disappointed when they heard this. Where is Chu Han? The biggest official is just a fifth-rank magistrate. The most important thing is, who would marry so far away? This one is worse than the young master of Huafu. Now look at it,

They could only wait for the prince of Chu to appear again, although the prince of Chu was somewhat difficult to reach.

Wu Fangting was also sitting among the crowd, but she never looked outside from the beginning to the end, because she had only one goal, and that was Chu Huan, otherwise she would not come back to the chrysanthemum appreciation party.

Thinking of the news she had gotten before, Wu Fangting looked at Yang Mo'er, couldn't help but smile and said: "Miss Yang is in such a good mood today. I heard that Miss Yang has been staying in the house recently.

Did it come out?"

When Wu Fangting said this, everyone understood that it was an insinuation that Yang Mo'er was almost kidnapped by the thieves. A few of them gloated about the misfortune and covered their lips and laughed.

Yang Moer's face couldn't help but turn red. Just when she was about to stand up and argue with Wu Fangting, Lu Ningxin held her hand and said to Wu Fangting: "Miss Wu is also very free today. Why didn't you go to Chu today?"

Mansion?"[

Many of the ladies here are naturally thinking of marrying into the Chu Mansion, but they have no connections, and they don’t even have the chance to enter the Chu Mansion’s gate. This Wu Fangting took advantage of the second lady of the Chu family and often went to Chu Mansion.

It is also a fact that everyone knows that Wu Fangting has moved around the house, but Wu Fangting has never seen Chu Huan once. This matter is also known to everyone. Immediately everyone pursed their lips and smiled, looking at Wu Fangting's eyes with full expressions.

ridicule.

Wu Fangting blushed, as if she didn't expect Lu Ningxin to be so sharp-tongued. Just when she was about to say something, she saw Guan Liu'er also intervened and said, "Yes, Miss Wu, are you going?"

The Chu Mansion didn’t see the Crown Prince of Chu, so why did it come here again?”

What Lu Ningxin said was vague, but what Guan Liu'er said was too straightforward. Wu Fangting was angry. She couldn't grasp the reason on Lu Ningxin's side, but she couldn't let go of the brainless Guan Liu'er, so she sneered.

He said: "If you want to marry the prince of Chu, you have to be well-matched. It's not like some people who come from a low background and want to climb high, without even looking at themselves to see if they have that status!"

Among the people sitting there, Guan Liuer's father Guan Tian had the lowest position, which was the sixth rank. So when Wu Fangting said this, Guan Liuer's face turned red and she was speechless.

coming.

While the two of them were fighting, Yang Mo'er pulled Lu Ningxin out of the pavilion and walked towards a rockery not far away with her maid and attendants. As she walked, she whispered: "Sister, why bother with that young lady from the Wu family? If

Because I let my sister offend Miss Wu, then..."

Lu Ningxin smiled and said: "I don't come out often, and I don't have the chance to meet her a few times. Unlike you, my uncle has the same official position as her father, so we have more opportunities to meet her. That's all on weekdays. Today she made it clear that she wanted to

I use those rumors to hurt you and ruin your reputation, how can I just sit back and watch?"

Yang Mo'er held Lu Ningxin's hand tightly and said, "My sister is the best to me!"

Lu Ningxin laughed softly, took Yang Mo'er's hand and said: "Your temperament is too soft. You will be the matron of the house in the future. How can you have such a temperament? I heard that Concubine Chu

The empress is a hero among women, and she has a good handle on things. If there is a chance, you can lead me to meet her, so that I can learn more from her!"

"Who wants to see Concubine Chu?" Suddenly, a majestic and clear voice sounded. Lu Ningxin was startled and quickly shouted: "Who is this? How dare you spy on a woman?"

After Lu Ningxin finished speaking, she pulled Yang Mo'er back, letting the young man and the mother-in-law stand in front of the two of them.

Li Huang appeared with Chu Huan. Two men, one calm and handsome, the other mighty and clear, were completely different from those scholars.

"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince of Chu!" Yang Mo'er took a look and quickly pulled Lu Ningxin to salute.

"Okay, get up!" Li Huang said softly, "I am rude, but I just heard you talking about my wife, and it was all words of praise, so I couldn't help but come out to meet her!"

Lu Ningxin hurriedly said: "The prince atones for his sins, and the little girl is talking about Concubine Chu behind her back..."

"Well, you're not saying bad things about her behind her back, so what are you afraid of?" Li Huang couldn't help but laugh softly, seeming to be in a good mood.

Lu Ningxin bit her lip. Although there were rumors that the prince was extremely fond of Concubine Chu, she still didn't believe it. When she saw it today, it turned out to be true. This aloof prince actually showed up to meet his wife because of a word of praise. This

The friendship is truly enviable!

Chu Huan also looked at Li Huang. He didn't expect that he would suddenly come out of his hiding place. This behavior was really reckless and unlike his behavior, but he also thought of what Lu Ningxin was thinking, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. Chu Yi

He was relieved that Qing could get such a man who loved her to the core, and he could rest assured that he would marry a wife and have children in the future.

Li Huang suddenly dragged him to some kind of chrysanthemum appreciation party. He said it was to find talents in advance and see if there were any outstanding talents. However, after what Chu Yiqing said when he returned home, he vaguely knew some clues.

So he raised his eyes to look at the two women in front of him, guessing which one Chu Yiqing was interested in. Finally, he set his sights on Yang Mo'er. Yang Mo'er was wearing a lotus-colored dress and looked like

He was very reserved, always lowering his head and wearing a veil, shy and timid, a bit like Yi Qing when he was young... When he thought of this, Chu Huan couldn't help but feel guilty, and quickly averted his eyes.

Yang Mo'er also watched Chu Huan secretly. She had only occasionally seen Chu Huan from a distance on weekdays. She had never had such close contact with him. The man in front of her stood tall and tall in the sun. He was extremely handsome. He was born in

Years of immersion in a wealthy family gave him a touch of nobility, making him even more unforgettable. The sun fell on him, creating a faint halo of light around him, making the profound appearance of the ghostly figure shine through the gentleness of the upper layer.

s color".

Yang Mo'er felt even more nervous, like a snare drum beating in her heart, and the handkerchief was tightened tighter and tighter.

On the side, Li Huang smiled at Lu Ningxin and said: "Since you want to see Concubine Chu, then go with me. If you disturb the two young ladies, you will fulfill the young lady's wish anyway!"

When Lu Ningxin heard this, she was naturally happy and said quickly: "Thank you very much, Prince. I have troubled you, little lady!" [

Li Huang said, and then said to Chu Huan: "The prince will go back today, but Miss Yang is the only one left now. I will trouble my elder brother to send Miss Yang back to the Yang Mansion later!"

Chu Huan was startled. He was a smart man and understood that Li Huang was looking for a chance to escape and let him be alone with Yang Mo'er. However, he couldn't say anything to refute, so he could only nod.

When Yang Moer heard this, she was naturally very happy and quickly leaned over to thank Li Huang.

"Let's go!" Li Huang looked at Lu Ningxin and said lightly, then turned around and strode forward.

Lu Ningxin looked at Yang Mo'er and Chu Huan in confusion, and seemed to understand something, so she whispered a few words to Yang Mo'er, and quickly followed Li Huang out of the chrysanthemum concave area.

Yang Mo'er was extremely nervous now. The two of them walked side by side. Although they were followed by a maid, a mother-in-law and an entourage, this was the first time they were alone together. Yang Mo'er was almost too nervous to speak.

Chu Huan was also a little embarrassed. Except for his three sisters at home, Chu Huan had never been with such a young lady. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say. The two of them just walked awkwardly. Unknowingly, the two of them...

We walked to the opposite side of the chrysanthemum concave gallery.

In the corridor, Wu Fangting had just lectured Guan Liu'er with words, causing Guan Liu'er to cry softly. She was feeling proud that she had breathed a sigh of relief, but she heard one of the ladies scream in surprise: "Then

Isn’t it Yang Mo’er and the Crown Prince of Chu? Why are they together?”

Wu Fangting's heart tightened, and she quickly looked in the direction the woman was looking. When she saw a man and a woman walking side by side beside the chrysanthemum bush, she couldn't help but bite her lip tightly.

"I heard that Concubine Chu has taken a fancy to Yang Mo'er and wants to be a matchmaker for Yang Mo'er and the Prince of Chu. It turns out it's true!" a woman said, probably because she thought that she had no hope, she suddenly slumped down in her seat,

Face full of disappointment.

When Guan Liu'er heard this, she didn't care about crying at the moment. She rushed to the pillars and lifted the curtain. She didn't care about being reserved and leaned out to check. When she saw that it was Yang Mo'er and the Crown Prince of Chu, she screamed.

With one sound, he burst into tears.

As soon as Guan Liu'er cried, some women also sighed. Taking advantage of this situation, Wu Fangting and her maidservant hurriedly walked down the corridor and went directly towards Yang Mo'er and Chu Huan.

She would not give in like this, absolutely not, and she had always felt that she was smarter and smoother than Yang Moer. She could not lose to anyone but Yang Moer.

When several women in the corridor saw Wu Fangting leading someone out, some of them were unwilling to give up and wanted to chase them out, but were stopped by people sent by Wu Fangting. So the servants of several families were unconvinced and went to the corridor.

There was a conflict in the court.
