Gu Hanzhang's eyes moved slightly and he looked at Gu Xiyue in confusion, his expression a little unpredictable.
"Why are you in such a hurry to get there?"
Gu Xiyue's heart skipped a beat, and she wasn't sure for a moment whether Gu Hanzhang knew something. She didn't dare to say anything at the moment, for fear that her wise brother would see something wrong with her.
"Well, I want to take a look."
"Don't be impatient." Gu Hanzhang said calmly.
After all, she was his sister, and Gu Hanzhang didn't care at all.
In the past, he never liked to care about the affairs of the back house, let alone say anything. The old Marquis taught him to focus on the front yard, and women would naturally take care of the affairs of the back house.
Gu Xiyue nodded in agreement, "Yes, brother."
Chaoli looked on with a frown, always feeling that there was something weird about Gu Xiyue, her behavior at the moment was a bit deliberate, but since Gu Hanzhang didn't pay attention to it, she wouldn't be too troublesome.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Song Lingxin and Chaowan must have arrived at the banquet venue, so Chaoli also wanted to rush there as soon as possible.
Song Lingxin wasn't worried, but she was a little worried about Chao Wan. After all, Chao Wan's temperament and her identity made it easy for others to bully her.
"Let's go." Gu Hanzhang glanced at Chaoli and said.
Chao Li turned his head and looked in the other direction, "Won't Fifth Sister go?"
"She's waiting at the door." Gu Xiyue replied.
Hearing this, Chao Li understood clearly that Gu Le was still embarrassed to come to see her, always feeling that it would disturb her, so he waited at the door.
Gu Le was also so considerate in her previous life. She was considerate and sincere in her treatment of others. She was actually a good girl.
With Gu Hanzhang walking in front, Chao Li and Gu Xiyue trailed half a step toward the door.
As for Qin Feng and several maids, they followed behind them.
Today is the Flower Festival. Regardless of status, women can go to the flower shed by Nanyang Lake to receive a flower. If they see a man they like, the woman will give the flower to him.
If a man is also attracted to that woman, he will naturally follow her, otherwise he will reject her.
If a man likes a woman first, he will take the initiative to get in front of the woman and ask if he can give her flowers to him to express his feelings.
Qin Feng looked at Qing Yi and hesitated to speak, but unfortunately Qing Yi didn't notice it at all and followed Chao Li stupidly, his eyes sparingly falling on others.
Seeing this, Pei Yu suppressed the smile on his lips, reached out and gently touched Qing Yi's shoulder, motioning her to look at Qin Feng.
Qing Yi didn't know why, and glanced at Qin Feng, but saw that he had no intention of speaking, so he looked away again, not caring about Qin Feng's situation at all.
In this way, Pei Yu suppressed his laughter.
Qin Feng obviously saw Pei Yu's schadenfreude, but since he fell in love with such an ignorant girl, he could only take his time.
If he were too impatient, he might even scare Qing Yi, and then the gains would outweigh the losses. He only hoped that the Crown Prince would fall in love with the Crown Princess as soon as possible. In this case, he could still go to the Crown Princess to ask Qing Yi to marry him. Anyway, what do you think of the Crown Princess?
They are much easier to talk to than the prince.
What's more, Master Chengfeng also said that his eldest son was suspected of being henpecked, and he felt that begging for Chaoli was more useful than begging for Gu Hanzhang.
Gu Hanzhang still didn't know that his status in Qin Feng's heart had become so low.
Zhaocai, who was at the end, was still a little excited. He hadn't traveled around with the prince for a long time. He didn't expect to have a chance today. Maybe he could get a small amount of money if he behaved well.
The prince was so bad that he deducted his monthly payment for two months. He must earn it back. Although he received a lot of money every month, he just felt uncomfortable having his monthly payment deducted.
The group of people got into the carriage with their own thoughts and headed towards Nanyang Lake.
When the carriage from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion arrived at Nanyang Lake, many people had already taken their seats at the banquet in the pavilion in the lake. The surroundings were lively and everyone's faces were full of joy.
Yes, today is a pleasant festival, and there are flowers all around.
As soon as Gu Hanzhang got off the carriage, a boy immediately came forward to salute.
"Your Majesty, please come with me. In front are the masters and the young masters sit. As for the ladies and ladies, the seats are in the back." The young man bowed and explained to Gu Hanzhang.
Gu Hanzhang nodded and stood there without making any move, just looking at the pavilion. He was actually not surprised that the servant could reveal his identity. After all, he, Gu Hanzhang, was not considered a nobody in the capital.
"Lead the way." Gu Hanzhang said indifferently, and then added, "Go to where the ladies and ladies are sitting."
The boy immediately understood that Gu Hanzhang did not intend to go to the pavilion by himself, but first wanted to send the female relatives of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion to the seats where the female guests were seated.
Chaoli was also stunned, then stepped forward to cover his hands with his sleeves, and lightly touched Gu Hanzhang's sleeves.
"Your Majesty, we can go there on our own."
Chaoli had just seen Cheng Feng sitting on the pavilion, and some young courtiers were also there. It seemed inappropriate to ask Gu Hanzhang to send them there.
Unexpectedly, Gu Hanzhang shook his head, "It doesn't matter, I'll send you there first."
Seeing Gu Hanzhang's persistence, Chaoli had no choice but to give up.
Maybe he wasn't just doing it for her, after all, Gu Hanzhang's two younger sisters were also here.
Thinking of this, Chaoli suddenly didn't care so much.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The boy nodded and smiled. It seemed that the relationship between the prince of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion and the prince concubine was very good. Others said that the relationship between the two was not good, but now it seems that it was just a misunderstanding.
"Your Majesty, please follow me forward."
Gu Hanzhang responded, "Yeah."
After getting Gu Hanzhang's answer, the waiter led Gu Hanzhang forward, turned and walked into another aisle, and decided to take Gu Hanzhang to the female guest's seat first according to the request.
Qing Yi and Pei Yu, who were behind them, looked at each other and smiled, obviously seeing the prince's respect for his young lady.
The place where the female guests sit is not far from the pavilion in the lake, hidden in the peach blossom forest, with the lake shore on the other side.
"Your Majesty." The young man stopped about ten meters away from the female guest's seat, bowed and said to Gu Hanzhang, "We can only go here. If we go any further, we may bump into the madam and the ladies. This is really inappropriate.
OK."
Even though Gu Hanzhang had a distinguished status, as a man he was not allowed to move around freely, otherwise there might be so many impeachment memorials from the imperial censor that they would overwhelm the table in the imperial study room.
Gu Hanzhang took a few casual glances and found that the pavilion could see this place, so he nodded immediately.
The location of the Flower Festival is different every year. What's more, Gu Hanzhang himself has never participated in the Flower Festival. Today, he followed the boy who led the way.
After making sure that the pavilion opposite could be clearly seen, Gu Hanzhang turned around.
"When you sit down later, remember to stay a little away from the water and be careful not to fall."
Gu Xiyue nodded first, "I understand, brother, hurry up and come over. I see that Brother Cheng is also looking at you."
Unfortunately, Gu Hanzhang did not answer Gu Xiyue, but turned to look at Chaoli.
