Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 121 Wolf Claws
  Yao Shanzhi complained for a long time. After being comforted and persuaded by Zhao Wangshu, she slowly calmed down and said, "Yue'er, please hurry up. Without you by my side, the food will be tasteless."

"I'm already well. It's Grandma and the others who are worried and insist that I continue to rest in bed." Zhao Wangshu was almost suffocated to death from recuperating.

"You vomited so much blood that day, you must have a lot of time to recover. Look at your face, there is no blood at all." Yao Shanzhi said distressedly.

Xu Danyang also advised, "Yes, Sister Shu, you have to be obedient."

"I know, I will be obedient and have a good rest." Zhao Wangshu smiled helplessly.

Yao Shanzhi and Xu Danyang chatted with Zhao Wangshu, mostly Yao Shanzhi and Zhao Wangshu talking, with Xu Danyang occasionally interjecting.

The two of them had lunch before saying goodbye and leaving. Before leaving, Xu Danyang told Zhao Wangshu, "Sister Shu, my uncle will treat you tomorrow, so I won't come to see you."

Zhao Wangshu said with a smile: "My family has also received an invitation. You should have fun."

The next day, after Mrs. Zhao Cui told her maid to take good care of Zhao Wangshu, she took Mrs. Zhao Li to the Hao family for a banquet.

Xu Danyang's uncle Hao Shi was a general who had made great achievements in war. He was deeply trusted by the emperor and held military power. His family held a banquet. Not only many important officials from the court, but also several other princes were present except for the fifth prince.

Hao Shi only had one son, Hao Bai. Mrs. Hao was very fond of Xu Danyang, a well-behaved niece, and took her with her to receive the female family members.

Mrs. Hao took Xu Danyang's hand and introduced her, "This is my niece Danyang. Danyang, please meet Mrs. Yu. This is Mrs. Qu, and this is Mrs. Li."

"Danyang would like to send my regards to the ladies." Xu Danyang saluted.

"Looking at her watery face, she is really a beauty." Mrs. Yu said with a smile.

"Madam, you are so complimentary. Danyang is just like a thin willow." Xu Danyang said modestly.

"My cousin is so polite. You can tell she is a well-educated and sensible person," Mrs. Qu said.

"This little face is so handsome and lovable, just like the one who walked out of the painting." Mrs. Li also praised.

Several ladies praised Xu Danyang as a fairy, and Xu Danyang's face turned red as a peach.

These ladies are all wives of important officials in the court. They came to Hao Mansion for a banquet today, and they all brought their daughters.

Xu Danyang is similar in age to these little girls and is very familiar with them.

While they were talking, the Zhao family arrived. Mrs. Hao saluted Mrs. Zhao Cui and said, "Aunt, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still so tough."

"I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still so cool." Mrs. Zhao Cui said with a smile.

Zhao Li looked at the radiant Xu Danyang and praised with a smile: "Danyang, you are so beautiful today."

Xu Danyang lowered his head shyly, "Thank you, cousin."

"Go play with them." Mrs. Hao sent Xu Danyang away and supported Zhao Cui to talk to other ladies.

At noon, the banquet began and the guests took their seats.

The Hao family not only invited famous opera troupes from the capital to entertain, but also invited famous chefs from the capital to cook delicious food.

The delicacies on the table are dazzling. During the dinner, the female relatives all praised: "This troupe is really good at singing, and the cook's skills are also outstanding. Mrs. Hao, it's really a waste of money."

Mrs. Hao responded with a smile: "As long as everyone is happy, that's fine."

"Come on, come on, Mrs. Hao, I'll toast you."

Push the cup and change the cup, both the host and the guest are happy.

When Xu Danyang was picking up food, a girl next to her touched her elbow, and the food fell on her skirt. "Sorry, excuse me."

She hurried back to the backyard to change clothes. Mrs. Hao loved her and left a yard specially for her.

When she changed her clothes and returned to the banquet room, she met a man in the garden and asked, "Sir, why are you here in the backyard?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Hao, I went to clean my hands. When I came out, I didn't see the servant leading the way. I came here unintentionally." The man said politely. "Xiaojia, please send this young master out." Xu Danyang ordered the maid.

"Thank you, Miss Hao." The man cupped his hands.

"My surname is not Hao. This is my uncle's house. My surname is Xu." Xu Danyang said.

The man was stunned for a moment, then said: "It turns out to be Miss Xu. I'm here to help you."

Xu Danyang was startled and hurriedly saluted and said: "I'm sorry, I've met the prince."

"Miss Xu, there's no need to be polite." Lin Yunxu supported her.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to return to the table." Xu Danyang said bravely.

"Miss Xu, don't you think the flowers here are blooming beautifully?" Lin Yun seemed as if he didn't hear Xu Danyang's words.

"Your Majesty, you are exaggerating. These are just ordinary flowers." Xu Danyang said calmly.

"Ordinary flowers also have different beauty." Lin Yun turned his head slightly and looked at Xu Danyang and said.

These words seemed to have other meanings. Xu Danyang raised his head to look at Lin Yun, but met his deep eyes. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly lowered his head and said softly: "Your Majesty is right."

The corners of Lin Yun's lips curled up slightly, as if he was talking to himself: "Flowers are delicate and need careful irrigation to thrive, and the same is true for people."

Xu Danyang could hear the profound meaning in his words, and couldn't help feeling a little flustered. He hurriedly found an excuse to leave: "Your Majesty, my daughter has to entertain guests, so go ahead. Xiaojia, you can send your Majesty to the Chuihua Gate."

After saying that, she left in a hurry regardless of whether Lin Yun agreed or not.

Lin Yun looked at her retreating back, a glint flashed in his eyes, he was determined to determine the military power in Hao Shi's hands.

Zhao Wangshu, who did not go to the banquet, had no way of knowing all this. She was clamoring to bask in the sun, which made Yun Hao dumbfounded. "Wangshu, the sun is very bright at noon in June, so you are not afraid of getting tanned."

"I can't tan, I'm naturally beautiful." Zhao Wangshu said proudly.

Yun Hao couldn't help but chuckle, and rubbed Zhao Wangshu's hair lovingly, "You, I really can't do anything about you."

"Hmph, how dare you dislike me." Zhao Wangshu pouted dissatisfied, pretending to be angry.

Yun Hao looked at her cute appearance and gently scratched her nose, "How could I dislike you, my little Wangshu. It's just that the sun in June is too strong, so I'm afraid you'll get sunburned."

"I just want to go out and get some fresh air, sit down for a while and then come in, okay?" Zhao Wangshu said softly, holding Yun Hao's hand.

Yun Hao couldn't resist her plea, "Okay, okay, I'll accompany you out."

He asked the maid to put the lounge chair under the ivy frame and set up the small coffee table, and then he took Zhao Wangshu out.

The sunlight shines through the branches and leaves on the two of them. Zhao Wangshu is lying on the chair, and Yun Hao is sitting next to her, holding a fan in his hand and gently fanning her.

"Yunhao, do you think that cloud looks like a rabbit?" Zhao Wangshu asked, pointing to a cloud in the sky.

"It's quite similar." Yun Hao smiled.

"And that one, does it look like a flying bird?"

"Yeah, it's very similar." Yun Hao smiled and nodded, looking at her tenderly.

"Yunhao, tell me, what would happen if I could fly into the sky and pick that rabbit-like cloud?" Zhao Wangshu's eyes were full of longing.

Yun Hao laughed softly, "In that case, the rabbit might run away."

Zhao Wangshu chuckled after hearing this. His laughter was as clear as a silver bell, full of the agility and joy of a girl.

　Sorry, my old lady has been quarreling with me so much that I don’t remember that I didn’t post anything.
