In late autumn, the weather has turned cooler and the vegetation has gradually withered. Only the delicate autumn chrysanthemums are blooming proudly in the heavy autumn frost and dew.
The eldest princess, Princess Jinghe, loves chrysanthemums the most. She holds a flower-viewing party every year, and it was still held as scheduled this year. All the dignitaries in the capital were invited to come and watch the flowers.
"Have you heard that the great general who protects the country has returned to Beijing with his family?"
Before the flower viewing party officially started, these official ladies gathered together and started chatting about all the new things in the capital.
"How could I not have heard that I saw the eldest son of the Yu family on the day he returned to Beijing? He was really a young man wearing bright clothes and angry horses. Moreover, General Yu's daughter Yu Shuyue must have received an invitation to today's flower viewing party."
As soon as the girl in dark clothes mentioned the eldest son of Yu Mansion, her face flashed suspiciously red, and the handkerchief in her hand was unconsciously crumpled into a ball.
"It is said that the eldest son of the Yu Mansion went to the battlefield with the general at the age of ten. At the age of fourteen, he single-handedly took the lead in the enemy's generals. At the age of seventeen, he led 30,000 cavalry to completely drive out the nomads who often invaded the border. At such a young age
The general who has passed his youth is now in his weak years and has reached the age of marrying a wife."
"Such a young general with outstanding military exploits, I don't know what kind of woman he likes."
Qi's people are open-minded and do not have too many restrictions on women. It is normal for people like Zhang Wanli to talk about the relationship between men and women without any scruples.
"Don't worry about what kind of woman Mr. Yu likes. I heard that this young man dotes on his second girl. He even said that he will like any girl that his sister likes."
Looking at the little sister's nymphomaniac face, Si Tingya held a fan in her hand and tapped her shoulder lightly.
"The second girl in the Yu Mansion is just a little girl, and she is destined to get married. As the saying goes, the girl who gets married is the one who throws away the water, and it will be her turn to judge what kind of girl Mr. Yu wants."
This arrogant voice made several people who were talking and laughing look sideways.
The visitor was dressed in a flamboyant golden and yellow tasseled palace skirt, and on her head was a white jade double-knot hairpin inlaid with red coral beads.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, she straightened her body proudly and waited for them to salute her.
But before they could say hello, a cold and soft voice came from behind them the next second.
"Of course Shu Yue can't comment on other affairs in the Yu family, but if Shu Yue can't decide on matters in the Yu family, I don't think others have any position to decide."
Yu Shuyue wore a beautiful lavender butterfly crescent-colored lotus leaf skirt. Her ink-like hair was tied into a moon-shaped temple with a lavender hairpin. A row of hanging glazed curtains was inserted under the hairpin, and she slowly walked toward
They come.
The girl's pretty face is like a snow-white peony. She has not yet reached her hair, but her appearance is already extremely beautiful. With a little makeup on her face, it is as bright as a peach blossom, which instantly eclipses the blooming chrysanthemums nearby.
Hua Qianli had rarely been humiliated like this, and her extremely proud face suddenly turned cold. When her eyes touched Yu Shuyue's delicate face, which looked like she had stepped out of a picture of a lady, she was stunned for a moment.
There was some confusion between them.
But she soon came back to her senses and realized that she had lost consciousness because of the woman in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"Hmph, you are the second girl of the Yu Mansion? Do you know who this princess is? She is not polite when meeting me. She is indeed a vulgar person who grew up outside the Great Wall. It is the kind of person who has no manners who would try to influence his brother.
The matter of getting married."
Among people of the same age, only Gu Jingyan, the prime minister's daughter-in-law, could make Hua Qianlian restrain her arrogant and domineering arrogance. Of course, she didn't pay attention to Yu Shuyue, who had just returned to Beijing from outside the Great Wall.
"Oh, it turns out it's the princess. If you didn't tell me, I would have thought she was the madam from that land of fireworks and willow alleys. She's so chewy and nosy."
Although Yu Shuyue wants to keep a low profile and minimize her sense of presence, this does not mean that she can be slandered by others. She is not someone who allows others to bully her.
"You - you are so brave, you dare to scold me!" This was the first time that Hua Qianlian was scolded like this. His face turned red, and he was so angry that he raised his right hand and waved it at Yu Shuyue.
Yu Shuyue would not stand stupidly and accept this slap from her. She quickly stepped back and easily avoided Hua Qianli's palm that brought a gust of wind.
From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the wine jug beside her. With a slight wave of her arm, her wide sleeves swept down the wine glass, and the full jug of wine with the fragrance of peach blossoms spread all over Hua Qianli's skirt.
"Ah - my princess's dress!"
Hua Qianli didn't expect that she could hide away so easily, but her most beloved dress was now stained with the smell of peach blossom wine.
Yu Shuyue looked at her furious look and raised her eyebrows slightly. Her expression was relaxed and did not arouse the princess's fear.
"Yu Shuyue! I want you to look good!" Hua Qianlian's voice became sharp with anger. He took the whip from the maid's hand and was about to swing it at Yu Shuyue.
"Princess, this is the eldest princess's mansion."
Her personal maid saw that she was actually going to use force in the eldest princess's mansion, and was so frightened that she quickly stopped her master.
Although if you stop her at this time, you will inevitably be angered, but if you don't stop her, I'm afraid her body will appear in a mass grave in the suburbs tomorrow.
Sure enough, as soon as the maid said this, Hua Qianlian reluctantly lowered the whip he raised, and then whipped the maid again.
"Yu Shuyue, just wait for me, I will make you pay the price."
Hua Qianlian snorted coldly, said harsh words to Yu Shuyue, and left angrily.
"Miss, are you okay?" Shaoyao checked to see if his lady was injured.
"Nothing, I just have to deal with the wine I accidentally got on my body."
There was also a little wine on her sleeves, and the smell of the wine made her frown slightly. She would have to meet the eldest princess later, and smelling like alcohol was not a good idea.
She sighed helplessly, then nodded towards the stunned ladies and left with Peony.
"As expected of the general's daughter..."
Looking at the lavender figure gradually disappearing, the others murmured to themselves.
This was the first time that they saw Hua Qianyu so defeated, and they couldn't help but feel in awe of Yu Shuyue.
…
Compared with the bustle in the front, the back mountain garden seems particularly cold. The lotus pond in early autumn has withered away and only the dead leaves are left.
A man in white clothes was sitting hunched in a wheelchair by the pool. The wind was blowing by the pool, and his white clothes clung to his thin body, making him look extremely weak.
"Cough cough cough——"
"Your Highness, it's windy outside, please go inside first."
The servant on the side spoke respectfully, but his eyes revealed a hint of contempt as he glanced at the man in the wheelchair.
"Yeah." The man responded in a low voice, but he didn't see the person behind him coming to push the wheelchair for him. He lowered his head slightly and glanced at the person behind him.
Receiving the man's look, Lin Si quickly smiled and pushed the wheelchair. But when the man turned around, his flattering smile instantly stopped, his eyes flashed with a trace of fierceness, and the hand holding the wheelchair suddenly became larger.
Strength, first pull back and finally push forward with force.
In front of the man is a withered lotus pond. The water is slightly dirty and covered with withered and yellow branches. For Qi Xiuyao, who is weak and immobile, there is almost no possibility of getting up again after falling into the pond.
His eyes, which had always been dull and dull, suddenly became sharp, but the sharpness in his eyes was fleeting, leaving only fear.
As soon as the wheelchair arrived at the edge of the pond, the man in the wheelchair made no other movements except his increasingly pale face and panicked eyes. However, Lin Si's movements on his hands did not stop at all.
When Qi Xiuyao's body was pushed out of the wheelchair by the force, he heard the false cry of the slave behind him, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and finally he closed his eyes and let his body fall into the room that exuded a faint fishy smell.
Smellful pond.
Just when he thought he would fall into the fishy-smelling pond in front of him, he suddenly felt a tightening in his waist, and a faint fragrance of orchids hit his face. This slightly familiar smell made him open his eyes suddenly.
What catches the eye is a delicate face that looks a little childish. This chapter has been completed!
