Chapter 34 The First Confrontation (1)

A soft sedan carried Lou Xiyue into the inner courtyard. During the process, she passed through four courtyard gates, a long street, and a quiet and elegant water bridge before arriving at the place.

The butler raised his arm to signal: "Stop—" He stepped forward to ask for instructions: "Major, please get off the sedan chair, we are here."

Lou Xiyue: "Thank you."

Yunzhi helped her get off the sedan chair, and when they looked up, there was a tall and magnificent plaque on the archway in front of them, with the word "Qin'an" written on it.

On both sides of the archway, there are two pools of clear water, flowers, birds, fish and insects, green vines, forming a natural scenery of its own.

Lou Xiyue smelled the elegant fragrance of flowers in the air, and heard the voice of a woman talking and laughing not far ahead.

At this time, the steward of the other courtyard bowed his waist and led the way in front of the introduction: "This is the Qin'an Garden where the princess holds a banquet for the guests. The empress came by coincidence. There are already many ladies and wives waiting for the banquet in the garden. Our princess It's here too. Your Majesty, let's go in with the villain."

Lou Xiyue smiled: "Okay, please lead the way."

"Yes, ma'am please."

Lou Xiyue's posture was relaxed and her steps were calm.Although she was looking straight ahead, the peripheral vision in her eyes took in the surrounding scenery.

Wherever she looked, all she saw were carved beams and painted buildings, and the surrounding furnishings were also very exquisite, really prosperous and rich.

There are a lot of flowers here, charming eyes, Yunzhi stared dumbfounded, only Lou Xiyue's expression remained the same, unmoved.She turned her head and asked, "Excuse me, when will the Flower Moon Banquet start?"

Butler: "Just wait for the guests to arrive, and then we can start the banquet in the afternoon."

While talking, everyone walked around the winding path, the shadows of the trees receded, and the scene in front of them suddenly opened up. Behind the landscape rockery, the figures at the low table for entertaining guests swayed, and the voice of a young girl teasing came.

"Seriously, Princess Xuanping will really come today?"

"It can be fake. I saw with my own eyes that Ms. Yan ordered someone to send out the invitation."

"Hey, so what if the invitation is sent, they may not come."

"Princess An Ning is invited, how dare she not come? Besides, she is a woman from a small country town. She is favored by the princess and becomes a guest of the Flower Moon Banquet. I think she is already very happy. How could she not come?"

"I heard that Ban Xiyu is a virtuous woman who has read poetry and books well. I don't think she is like the kind of person you said."

"Who doesn't know how to pretend? I even went out and said that I am tolerant and magnanimous, and I have always been tolerant. Do you think I look like this?"

"...There is some truth to that."

These women spoke without hesitation, even a little boldly.

Lou Xiyue heard it in her ears and thought in her heart: This Flower and Moon Banquet is really not easy.

And the housekeeper on the other side seemed to have not heard it at all, with a businesslike smile on his face: "My lady, please."

After the voice fell, the little attendant on the other side quickly stepped forward and shouted: "Princess Xuanping is here!"

The attendant's shout immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone turned their heads at the same time and looked towards this side.

At this time, Lou Xiyue glanced at the butler, and smiled meaningfully: "Thank you for leading the way."

After finishing speaking, she walked forward in the eyes of everyone.

Lou Xiyue's footsteps were unhurried, her manners were elegant and decent, and she didn't forget to smile at everyone when she saw them.With a clear voice, she said: "I'm sorry, I'm late, didn't I disturb everyone's pleasure?"

"Why did the concubine make such a statement? Of course we are very happy that you can come here."

The lady who said this was the one who whispered about Lou Xiyue just now.

Lou Xiyue looked at her, and saw that the visitor had a small and delicate face with regular features, but her eyes were too aggressive, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Lou Xiyue: "Oh, is that so?"

The woman looked directly at her, and there was even contempt in her eyes that couldn't be concealed: "Naturally."

Her scrutinizing eyes fell on Lou Xiyue, trying to see something from her, but Lou Xiyue remained calm.

"Then thank you very much." Lou Xiyue said.

Seeing that she was indifferent and had no special reaction, the woman suddenly felt bored, she pursed her mouth and sat down.She didn't even look at Lou Xiyue, and said: "Your Majesty, Wangfei, you are being polite."

The surrounding atmosphere was weird and stalemate, the young ladies waiting around looked at me and you, but they didn't dare to speak.

At this time, there was a strange movement under the pavilion in front.

Lou Xiyue looked up, only to see a beautifully dressed woman in brocade clothes and a flying fairy hair bun, walking over surrounded by everyone.

The woman was about thirty years old, with a ruddy complexion, and a look of wealth and honor, but her expression was cold, and she seemed difficult to get close to.There is a gold hairpin and jade ring on her head, and the golden phoenix walks lightly with the lotus steps, making a soft ringing sound as she moves.

"What are you all talking about? It's so lively?" The woman turned her eyes and looked directly at Lou Xiyue.

The two looked at each other, the woman laughed immediately, then walked quickly and said: "It turns out that you are the new concubine of the Xuanping Palace, today I can see you."

"Hey, I heard that you are a beautiful person, and I saw you today, so I know the rumors are true." The woman took Lou Xiyue's hand and said, "How, do you still get used to it in the capital?"

Lou Xiyue took a quick look at her and guessed the identity of the person.She bowed slightly and saluted: "I have met Princess An Ning, good day, Princess."

"We are all a family, so there is no need to be so polite."

Princess Anning said so, but she didn't help her up.She pointed to the young woman beside her and said, "Haven't you two met before? This is Miss Yan. Yu'er, this is King Xuanping's newly married lady, Miss Ban."

Lou Xiyue turned her head and saw a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old standing behind Princess Anning.The girl's eyes were bright and energetic, and her appearance was very iconic.

She thought to herself, so this is the rumored Yan Ruyu.

For such a beauty, Fu Guan had known her since childhood, yet he was never attracted to her, and even rejected her.

He gave up Yan Ruyu, could it be possible that he wanted to find someone with a better background and better appearance than her?

Is the vision too high?

At this time, Yan Ruyu was also looking at her.

The two had their own thoughts, but they never revealed them.

Yan Ruyu first saluted and said: "My daughter Yan Ruyu, I have met the princess, good day."

Lou Xiyue said: "You don't need to be too polite." She also learned to speak politely: "The girl in Mrs. Yan's family is really outstanding, she is unforgettable in her photograph."

Princess An Ning smiled and said: "She is so outstanding, she has a very wild temper, and she is getting older, and she has not been married to anyone until now, and the family members are dying of anxiety.

"Xiyu—I'll call you Xiyu—you will also help her look after some things in the future. If there are one or two good sons, make peace with her. If it is successful, I will thank you Woolen cloth."

Lou Xiyue thought to herself, there are many twists and turns in this sentence, she can't understand it.

What is the meaning of Princess Anning and Yan Ruyu?
They have a wide network of contacts in the capital, so why would they need her to introduce them?Besides, Yan Ruyu had her eyes on Fu Guan, could it be that she could still introduce Fu Guan?
Lou Xiyue felt a headache: How to talk to Miss Shijia is more difficult than dealing with Fu Guan.
