Chapter 20 The Grand Tutor's Daughter Liu Qingyuan

There are several hills stretching in the Taoyuan, and the peach blossoms in the mountains surround a small island, and there is a rain pavilion in the middle of the island. When everyone arrived, Princess Suyang was already sitting in the pavilion.

All the noble girls saluted, Su Yang waved people to get up, and then smiled and let them sit down.

"Today's weather is excellent, and the peach blossoms in the garden are even more beautiful. In order to let everyone have a good time, Suyang wants to play a small game with you."

"Liu Country has newly offered some thorn rose flower dew, and Bengong has put twelve bottles in the Taoyuan. The girl who finds it first will get it."

Although Ryukyu is a small country, it is rich in thorn roses, and the thorn rose flower dew extracted is even more unique. Just a drop of it can linger on for a day.

It's just that this thing is extremely difficult to extract, and only twenty or thirty bottles can be offered in a year. Even the noble ladies of various prefectures have only heard of it but never seen it.

Princess Suyang sold more than ten bottles. In addition to being extremely respectful to today's outing, it can also be seen that she is extremely favored.

With such a large sum of money, if you think about it, there is nothing else in the entire capital city except the empress.

"I think everyone can't wait for it now, so Suyang will not restrain you. I hope you will have a good time."

"My daughter, thank you Your Highness Princess!!!"

"My daughter, thank you Your Highness Princess!!!"

Everyone saluted and exited the pavilion, and their faces showed joy. When they come for an outing today, in addition to explaining the privacy of the family, they may also get the hard-to-find thorn rose flower dew.

If you get one of the two, today's trip will be very worthwhile.

Liu Qingyuan straightened up, looked at the girls who had gathered in twos and threes to form a team, turned around and was about to leave.

"This sister stays."

"I don't know which family my sister is from, why haven't I seen it before?"

The girls who can be invited here must have fathers and brothers above the fourth rank, and the female relatives above the fourth rank in Beijing all know each other. For Liu Qingyuan who is showing up for the first time, someone can't help but speak first.

As soon as these words came together, it attracted the attention of all the noble ladies, and for a while, Liu Qingyuan became the focus.

She looked at the girl standing in front of her with arrogance in her eyes, and blessed her, "Father Liu Songxian."

"The newly promoted Grand Tutor Liu Songxian, is that your father?"

"Exactly."

Xu Jingxin nodded, "No wonder my sister smells like a book, she is the daughter of the Taifu."

Although the words were flattering, they were somewhat mean. Liu Qingyuan looked at her and smiled slightly.

"I think my sister is very noble, so she should be the daughter of Xu Ke, a cabinet scholar. When I was in Jingzhou, I heard that Xu's family is very well educated. When I saw her today, it really lived up to its reputation."

Xu Ke, a cabinet scholar, has a brilliant literary talent. If His Majesty hadn't suddenly ordered his father to return to Beijing, then the position of Grand Tutor would probably belong to him.

Before leaving the house, his father had always told him that Xu Ke lost his position as Taifu, so it would not be just like that, and he would always find some opportunities to make things difficult for the Liu family.

Although I knew there would be such an encounter, I just didn't expect that Xu Ke didn't move, and some people couldn't wait.

"My younger sister is naturally beautiful, and this dress makes her look like a fairy. If I were a man, I would definitely fall in love with my younger sister at first sight."

Everyone who came here today is a smart person, and they all know why Princess Suyang posted the post. When the people who were originally sisters heard Liu Qingyuan's words, they all turned to look at Xu Jingxin.

Xu Jingxin's appearance is not outstanding among the crowd, but today I don't know who is dressing her up, the clothes and makeup perfectly complement her.

The original seven-point appearance, after being dressed up like this, unexpectedly became very faint. Even the boundless and gorgeous Princess Suyang just now was a little shy in front of her.

Thinking that the prince might be watching from somewhere, everyone couldn't help but change their expressions.

"Miss Xu is really beautiful today. I really feel pity for this makeup. I don't know which master it is from?"

"Yes, and this dress, I don't know which embroiderer made it, it's really beautiful."

Seeing that she became the object of condemnation by everyone, Xu Jing gritted her teeth bitterly, secretly thinking that she is indeed the daughter of Liu Songxian, and she is cunning by nature.

Seeing that everyone's attention was no longer on her, Liu Qingyuan supported the maid's hand and slowly retreated in the opposite direction from them.

Before he started searching, there was already a conflict, Su Yang drank warm tea, his eyes were a little bit funny.

Originally, I didn't want to listen to my mother's words to help me, but now it seems that it is not impossible to come here.

She would like to see, in the face of interests, whether these self-proclaimed noble ladies can maintain their posture as before.

"Girl, where are we going now?"

Leaving the pavilion in the lake, the little maid looked around and felt that every road was the same, so she immediately became confused.

Liu Qingyuan has never been to Taoyuan, and she doesn't know these roads, but she is still in Taoyuan, so she is not afraid of danger.

"Let's walk around casually." After all, it was the post sent by the princess, no matter how displeased she was, it would take some time before she could leave.

The two masters and servants walked slowly along the path, not knowing at all that someone in the pavilion on the opposite hillside was watching their every move.

Mu Chengze sat leaning against the pillar with his back, slowly sipped the cold wine in his hand, and let out a long sigh.

"Ashu, why don't you help Gu choose one, Gu feels that these girls are all pretty much the same."

Gu Tingshu crossed his arms and waited for Shen Qiqi to hide in the peach grove before looking back, "Your Highness drank too much wine."

Although the relationship between the two is good, it is not enough to choose the crown princess for him.

Seeing that he was still standing looking into the peach forest, Mu Chengze also stood up and followed his line of sight.

"You have stood and watched for a long time, what are you looking at?"

"By the way, didn't your cousin come with you? I haven't seen her before. You take Gu to meet her."

After getting acquainted, he will not be abrupt when we meet in the future.

"My cousin is weak-tempered, and His Highness is too powerful, I'm afraid it will frighten her."

An orphan girl who has been hiding in the depths of the Marquis's Mansion for many years has received very little news. She probably doesn't even know who the prince is, so why is he so prestigious?

"Ashu, tell Gu honestly, have you ever spoken ill of Gu in front of your cousin? Otherwise, how could Gu scare her if it was just a meeting?"

Gu Tingshu turned his head, and his gaze stayed on his face for a few seconds. He obviously didn't say anything, but he seemed to have said everything.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Mu Chengze just saw in the other party's eyes that he looked terrifying.

He laughed out of anger, threw away the wine glass and headed to Taoyuan first.

"I don't believe Gu, Gu's appearance can scare people."

He claimed that he was no better than Zi Jian or Pan An in appearance, but he was not much worse than them either.

"I've heard you say it several times, but Gu hasn't given her a meeting gift yet. Father and Emperor have given it to her, so Gu can't be inferior, right?"

He has said so much, it must be seen.

Gu Tingshu knew that there would be such a time, so he didn't stop him, and just followed in the direction of Shen Qiqi.

Picking up a bagful of peach blossoms, Jinbao and Yinbao haven't come back yet, knowing that they are playing crazy, Shen Qiqi collects the peach blossoms, and takes tea from the food box by herself.

The well-warmed tea was still warm, she took two sips, but when she put it down, she heard two light footsteps.

Looking up, it was the noble daughter of the Liu family that I met outside the city.

Shen Qiqi stood up and blessed her, and turned to welcome her in.

"My sister and I are predestined, and Taoyuan is such a big city that we can meet each other."

Liu Qingyuan bowed back, and sat on the stone chair following her guidance, "Yes, when I saw her outside the city, I felt that my sister was very kind."

"My surname is Liu and my name is Qingyuan. May I ask which family my sister is from?"

"Shen's family is beautiful, her family is in Jiangzhou, and now she is living in the Yong'an Hou Mansion of her natal family."
