Chapter 78 Three Cousins

Xu Siyuan was dressed more elegantly than last time in the Rongguo Palace. Although the clothes and accessories were new, they were not outstanding.

According to the family background of the Xu family, Xu Siyuan is the prostitute daughter of the Xu family, and also Mrs. Xu's most beloved daughter. It is impossible for her to dress so homely as a guest at the eldest princess's mansion for the first time.

And when Xu Siyuan felt her gaze, he subconsciously lowered his head slightly to dodge.

On the other hand, Xue Ruzhen is much more normal.

Although the Xue family is not as luxurious as the Xu family, but the foundation is not bad, Xue Ruzhen is wearing a pink and white tencel skirt today, with a pink velvet cape with gold thread, pure and dignified.

Although she didn't have much jewelry on her body, all of them were high-quality goods. Seeing Qin Shuhuang looking over, Xue Ruzhen smiled generously at Qin Shuhuang and saluted Qin Shuhuang.

Mrs. Xu found that her daughter was absent-minded, so she gave her a glare from a place where no one else could see.

Both ladies brought generous gifts of thanks.

The Xu family has always been straightforward in doing things. The thank-you gift was the land deeds to several shops in the rich southern state. They heard that Qin Shuhuang recently purchased soft armor in the military market, so they also brought Qin Shuhuang two hundred sets of Xu family workshops. Newly made soft armor, plus fifty war horses.

The Xue family has been clean for generations, so it is not so rich and powerful.

Mrs. Xue's thank you gift is an authentic work by the former national champion Wanquan Layman.

There are not many authentic works left by Layman Wanquan, so this painting is really hard to find.

In addition to this painting, Mrs. Xue also brought a set of the Four Treasures of the Study. The ink, paper and inkstone are all sourced. Among them, the brushes were made by Xue Ruzhen herself, out of sincerity.

Qin Shuhuang invites everyone to appreciate osmanthus and tea.

The eldest princess mansion, separated from the laurel garden is the large study in the front yard.

The flower hall next to the study is connected to the water pavilion, and you can see the scene of the osmanthus garden standing on the promenade beside the water pavilion.

If necessary, you can also go directly to Guiyuan from the Water Pavilion Corridor.

Du Qinglin was invited by Lu Zhou to the study in the front yard.

Although Lu Zhou had served Qin Shumin, he was still a slave after all, and he could not sit at the same table with the prince at this time.

He arranged tea and snacks for Du Qinglin, chatted for a few words, and then planned to retreat outside the study. Before leaving, Lu Zhou said politely: "I'm neglecting the Crown Prince today. Your Highness doesn't use the front yard of the Eldest Princess Mansion very much on weekdays. It's only used for entertaining." Guest, if the prince is bored, you can wander around the study as you like, I am right outside, if you need anything, just call me."

"Butler Laolu is here." Du Qinglin thanked.

The snacks and tea in the eldest princess's mansion are good, but these are not lacking in Duke Rongguo's mansion.

After sitting for a while, Du Qinglin got up and looked around.

Maybe Qin Shuhuang just moved in. There are not many traces of life here. Some books are very new, so it can be seen that no one has read them.

Although the layout of the study room was good, it lacked popularity and was not much different from the study room in the Rongguo Palace where guests were entertained. Du Qinglin quickly lost interest.

He strolled to the outside of the study, which was connected to the flower hall. Outside the flower hall was the Water Pavilion Corridor, with a unique scenery.

Du Qinglin walked to the water pavilion, thinking about admiring it.

Looking away, he suddenly realized that he could see the scenery of Guiyuan from here. Not only that, but he could also see Qin Shuhuang entertaining guests.

Among them, girls from the Xu family and girls from the Xue family were sitting sideways to this side. Standing in the water pavilion, they could clearly see the two girls.

Du Qinglin's eyes fell on Xu Siyuan's body involuntarily, and he became dazed.

Just when Du Qinglin was in a daze, something tapped his shoulder suddenly.

Du Qinglin suddenly came back to his senses, looked back, and instantly saw a familiar young face.

After being stunned for two seconds, Du Qinglin immediately bowed his head and saluted, "My humble servant sees the emperor!"

Qin Shumin fiddled with the fan in his hand, and helped Du Qinglin up himself, "Cousin, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you being polite to me!"

Du Qinglin never expected that the emperor would be in the eldest princess's house, but then he thought that his mother had taken a fancy to Miss Xue and Miss Xu, and he suddenly realized.

But the next moment he recalled the dazed look he was looking at Guiyuan, his eyes dimmed again, he clenched his fists, and finally didn't utter the words that came out of his mouth.

In front of the emperor, what is he worth!The Xu family might look down on him...

Qin Shumin and Qin Shuhuang often played with Du Qinglin when they were young. When Qin Shuhuang was not married, the relationship between the three cousins ​​was very good. In the past three years, the three of them seemed to be running very fast in their own directions, leaving. The land is getting further and further away.

Du Qinglin returned to Beijing from the camp not long ago. If calculated carefully, he had not seen Qin Shumin for nearly a year.

When I saw it suddenly, I felt very strange.

He took a step back quietly, keeping a distance from Qin Shumin, and then handed over again, "I have disturbed the emperor unintentionally, please forgive me."

Qin Shumin looked at Du Qinglin who was so unfamiliar, and the dark and lost light in his eyes flashed by. The next second, he raised his smiling face, stepped forward and put his arms around Du Qinglin's shoulders, "Cousin was just looking at Miss Xu's family!"

Du Qinglin, who was being held by the shoulders, suddenly felt very uncomfortable. When he heard what Qin Shumin said again, he was shocked and immediately knelt down to explain, "Please be more careful, Your Majesty. Miss Xu keeps her integrity and has no personal relationship with the minister. It’s just that the two families are family friends and we are close to each other on weekdays. Naturally, Miss Xu and I are more familiar with each other than girls from other families.”

Qin Shumin sighed in his heart. He stepped forward and helped Du Qinglin up again. He stared at Du Qinglin with a pair of deep eyes, "Is my cousin really willing to give up Miss Xu to me? In this way, my cousin has failed Xu. The lady’s sincerity. If this is true, Du Qinglin will no longer be the Du Qinglin I recognize in my heart."

After Qin Shumin said these words, Du Qinglin suddenly looked up at him.
