Yun Zishu was led by the maid to the Lanyue Pavilion where the female guest was. The attic was connected to the corridor. On both sides of the corridor, there were maids passing back and forth carrying various fruits and refreshments. The maids were all wearing peach pink skirts, looking fresh and beautiful.
, pretty and lovely.
From a distance, I heard a burst of laughter and laughter coming from Lanyue Pavilion, which was full of joy. Leng Yue and Lianyue followed Yun Zishu, followed by Xianglan and Yueying.
Leng Shuang watched in all directions and listened in all directions, quietly alerting to all possible dangers.
Walking to the attic, a noble lady who was about to enter looked at Yun Zishu and Lianyue and the others behind her in surprise: "Can you bring the maid in?"
Yun Zishu had never seen this noble girl, and the other party had obviously not seen her either. As soon as she said these words, someone next to her immediately said, "This is Your Highness the Crown Princess."
The noble lady's face changed slightly, and she quickly knelt down and saluted: "My lord is reckless and has blind eyes. Please forgive me, Crown Princess."
"It doesn't matter." Yun Zishu smiled lightly and turned to look at Lianyue and the others, "Sister Lianyue, just go in with me. Lengshuang, Lengyue, you stay outside with Xianglan."
"yes."
The noble lady who spoke paled slightly: "Your Highness the Crown Princess, I...I am not..."
"It has nothing to do with you." Yun Zishu stepped over the threshold, "Everything must be done according to the rules, and I am no exception."
The noble girl followed behind her cautiously and walked in. She didn't know whether she should be glad that Yun Zishu didn't ask her name, or regret that she had said so much just now.
The Lanyue Pavilion is spacious and bright, with independent tables neatly arranged. The ladies who arrived here early gathered in front of the window to chat and laugh. When they heard that the Crown Princess had arrived, they all came over to greet her: "See Your Highness the Crown Princess."
Yun Zishu's eyes passed over the faces of the ladies in front of her. There were about ten of them in total, including the Xi sisters and Fu Nanxi. Princess Wuyang hadn't arrived yet, and some of the others she didn't know very well.
"No need to be polite." Yun Zishu smiled lightly, "There are a few of you here who I am not familiar with. Nanxi, please introduce them to me."
Fu Nanxi nodded, first pointing to the noble lady who was talking to Yun Zishu outside the door: "This is Chu Chu's cousin, the niece of the general and the princess."
Yun Zishu glanced at the noble girl and nodded slowly.
It is normal for a powerful family to have many in-laws. Moreover, on the birthday of Emperor Chu Chu, it is reasonable for the general and princess to invite their nieces.
"My daughter Song Anzhi, please see the Crown Princess."
Yun Zishu could see that she was still uneasy, and her heart moved slightly. She couldn't help but think that it was the affairs of the uncle's house that made these noble ladies scruple.
Although the situation that the uncle's residence is in today is basically their own fault, outsiders seem to know that it has made the prince and princess unhappy, so it is normal to have some concerns.
Yun Zishu didn't want to explain more, so she said calmly: "No need to be polite."
Fu Nanxi was about to introduce others when a familiar voice suddenly sounded outside: "Is the Crown Princess here?"
The visitor was Huangfu Chuchu, who arrived before anyone else arrived, "I was trying on clothes in Liuli Courtyard just now. I heard that the Crown Princess was coming, but I didn't even go out to greet her. It's really rude. Please forgive me."
By the time he finished speaking, the person had already entered the door.
Huangfu Chuchu is the birthday girl today. She specially wore a red eye-catching long skirt with a waist and long longevity flowers embroidered on the front and cuffs. She looks beautiful, noble and impressive.
Yun Zishu was about to say a few words of praise when she looked up and saw someone following her. It was a little unexpected and all the women present were stunned.
This is a place to entertain women. I didn't expect that a young man would follow, and he was also a handsome and elegant young man.
The noble ladies present looked at each other, and then quietly looked at the young man. He was really good-looking, with cool and elegant features, like orchids and jade trees. He looked like a painting just standing there. His demeanor was much better than that of several well-known aristocratic families in the imperial capital.
The young master is no less generous.
"Chu Chu, who is this?"
"Ahem." Huangfu cleared his throat and raised his finger to point at Rong Zhan, who insisted on following him, "His name is Rong Zhan, my family... um, my father's adopted son."
Rong Zhan's expression changed, "No."
"Adopted son?" A noble girl stared directly at Rong Zhan, "You are so good-looking. Have you agreed to get married?"
Huangfu Chuchu frowned and turned to look at the woman who was speaking: "Hu Yue, what do you want to do?"
"A graceful gentleman, a lady is so charming." The girl raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Isn't Chuchu bringing him here just to let us get to know each other?"
Huangfu Chuchu sneered: "You have a beautiful idea."
Rong Zhan stood there quietly, his eyes falling on the back of Huangfu Chuchu's head. Listening to her strong tone, revealing a possessiveness that she was not even aware of, a strange luster flashed across her eyes.
"Rong Zhan." Huangfu Chuchu quickly turned to look at him, "You go to the man's side first to help entertain the guests."
Rong Zhan nodded and said goodbye calmly and elegantly to the women present, turned around and left, with a graceful demeanor and an indescribable character in his raised hands and feet, which made people feel like they were taking a breath of spring breeze.
Yun Zishu's eyes fell on Rong Zhan's leaving back, her eyes thoughtful.
"Your Highness the Crown Princess." Huangfu Chuchu stood in a circle in front of her, "Does the dress I'm wearing today look good?"
Yun Zishu looked away, looked at Huangfu Chuchu, raised her lips and smiled: "You are so beautiful, you are the most dazzling birthday girl today."
"The Crown Princess will take your seat first." Huangfu Chuchu greeted the girls, "Everyone else should also sit down. Let me introduce to the Crown Princess. Miss Fu and the sisters of the Xi family, the Crown Princess, have met before. This is my cousin Song Anzhi.
"
Yun Zishu smiled lightly: "I've seen it before."
Huangfu Chuchu pointed at Hu Yue who had just spoken: "Miss Hu is the daughter of Hu Yushi of the imperial court."
Hu Yue saluted Yun Zishu cheerfully: "I have met Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."
"This is the daughter of the Chief Assistant, Qi Ying." Huangfu Chuchu said as he invited Yun Zishu to sit down on the table, and said in a low voice, "The ones invited today are all the daughters of the prince's ministers.
People will be ignorant and cause trouble for the Crown Princess."
I don’t know if the saying “Don’t speak too full of words” is fulfilled. As soon as I finished speaking, a scream suddenly sounded outside: “It’s not good! It’s not good! My cat fell into the lake! Someone’s coming.
,save my cat!save my cat!”
The noble ladies were startled when they heard the sound and rushed to the back window. Lan Yue Pavilion faced the lake. When they opened the window, they saw a girl in luxurious clothes standing on the pontoon. She was running around anxiously: "Someone! Save my cat.
Come up!"
Huangfu Chuchu frowned: "Why is the fifth princess here? Why didn't I remember to hand her the invitation?"
Fifth princess?
Yun Zishu glanced through the window. The girl standing on the bridge was about the same age as Dong Lingyan, around fourteen years old. At this time, she looked so anxious because of a cat that she looked far less than Dong Lingyan.
Calm.
"Are you all dead?" The girl pointed at the maids in front of her and scolded angrily, "Why don't you go down and rescue Amber? If there is anything wrong with Amber, I will throw you all down to be buried with him!"
