After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Yun Chen drove away. As soon as Chu Huanyan reached the door of the house, she heard Liu Zhaoran's voice from behind.

"Huanyan, wait for me!"

Seeing Liu Zhaoran walking quickly in front of her, Chu Huanyan reached out to help her and asked with a smile: "Why are you here too?"

"I'm still worried and want to come over to accompany you." Liu Zhaoran gestured behind him, "Eldest brother has received the post, and I am the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Even if I didn't receive the invitation, I will come with my eldest brother because I want to come to the third prince's place. I won’t blame you either.”

Chu Huanyan felt a little warm in her heart and said thank you to Liu Zhaoran.

Seeing Pei Zhaoqing and Liu Qianran coming over, Chu Huanyan asked Pei Zhaoqing.

"Prince Pei also received the invitation?"

"No." Pei Zhaoqing shook his head, "However, I have accepted invitations before, but later I came without any surprise."

Liu Zhaoran lowered his voice and smiled at Chu Huanyan and said: "He received an invitation last year, but when he was composing poems, he was criticized by others for not being good at poetry. He got into a fight with them and disturbed the third prince's banquet. I guess because This one didn’t receive a post this year.”

Pei Zhaoqing looked at Liu Zhaoran and said quietly: "I can hear you."

"If you can hear it, you can hear it." Liu Zhaoran said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet, why are you here today?"

"You, Miss Liu, can come, but I can't. After all, I am also the eldest son of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion. Maybe I am afraid that Xiao Rongxuan will kick me out." With that said, Pei Zhaoqing straightened his back and walked directly into the Third Prince's Mansion.

Pei Zhaoqing's father is currently at the border, holding military power. He, the heir apparent of the Hou Mansion, is naturally very confident, unlike Chu Huanyan and Chu Ziyuan.

Liu Qianran stood behind, still looking gentle and dignified, and smiled and said to Chu Huanyan: "Miss Chu, please."

Chu Huanyan nodded, "Young Master Liu, you're welcome. Please."

Liu Zhaoran looked back and forth between the two of them, "Okay, you two, don't be polite. Let's hurry in."

With that said, he reached out to hold Chu Huanyan's arm and walked in together.

The Third Prince's Mansion is different from the Prince's Mansion. Every thing and scenery is more noble and luxurious.

For the annual Qushui Drinking Banquet, Xiao Rongxuan specially opened a separate garden in the back garden and named it Liuyun Garden.

In Liuyun Garden, there are many exotic flowers and plants, precious stones, and even a random corridor railing is made of expensive ebony wood.

The most eye-catching one is a tortuous stream that was dug and diverted by craftsmen to artificially create it. Not only are there seats on both sides for drinking wine and poetry, but also there are inlaid eggs the size of an egg every short distance. The Night Pearl is used to ensure that if the mood strikes you, even at night, you will still be unaffected.

Chu Huanyan glanced at it and made a rough estimate. At least nearly a hundred luminous pearls were used, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows secretly.

Xiao Rongxuan's expenses were quite extravagant.

I heard that the officials had been impeaching Xiao Jinzhi all day long. Didn't anyone read Xiao Rongxuan's book and ask where the money came from?

"The third prince has arrived."

Someone in the crowd said something, and everyone around them saluted. What surprised them was that Xiao Jinzhi appeared with Xiao Rongxuan.

"I've met His Highness the Crown Prince, and I've met the Third Prince."

It's really strange. In the past years, His Highness the Crown Prince was never invited to this meandering banquet!

"Everyone, get up, no need to be polite." Xiao Rongxuan motioned for everyone to get up, glanced at Xiao Jinzhi from the corner of his eye, and said to everyone, "Although His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like this, I still take the liberty of inviting him to come this year. So that this banquet will be more lively."

With that said, he turned to look at Xiao Jinzhi, "I would also like to thank the emperor for being so generous."

"Third brother, you are serious. Gu has always loved to join in the fun. With so many beauties here today, Gu is naturally happy to come." Xiao Jinzhi said in a romantic tone. He was not wearing the prince's python suit and was wearing a bright red robe. It seemed that no matter where he was, Everywhere, they are the most ostentatious.

When many of the female family members present heard Xiao Jinzhi's words, no matter what they felt in their hearts, they all showed a bit of displeasure on their faces. Most of the invited scholars, talented people, and some officials' children secretly despised him.

Xiao Rongxuan narrowed his eyes slightly and moved his gaze towards Chu Huanyan.

"I heard that Miss Chu once visited the imperial brother's mansion. I wonder how you think this prince's Liuyun Garden compares with the prince's mansion?"

One sentence drew everyone's attention to Chu Huanyan.

Chu Huanyan glanced at Xiao Jinzhi.

In terms of scenery arrangement alone, the Prince's Mansion cannot compare to Liuyun Garden.

However, the traces of artificial construction in Liuyun Garden are too heavy, which seems inconsistent with the word "Liuyun".

As for the artistic conception, it is better to be compared to Xiao Jinzhi lying lazily by the lake that day, carefree and carefree.

"Back to the third prince, my daughter is quite confused about the layout of the garden. I just think this garden... is very beautiful." Chu Huanyan deliberately chose the simplest word.

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted a laugh.

"Ha..." A scholar-like man in a lake-blue robe looked at Chu Huanyan mockingly, "Very good-looking? Miss Chu is the legitimate daughter of the Hou family after all, but she has such a lack of rhetoric."

Chu Huanyan glanced at the other person, and after confirming that she didn't recognize him, she smiled calmly.

"Young Master, please forgive me, I am indeed not good at poetry, calligraphy and calligraphy, and I am not as knowledgeable as you."

"Then why did Miss Chu come to this meandering water drinking banquet to join in the fun?" The scholar sneered again.

"Fortunately, the Third Prince invites you. Don't be rude." Chu Huanyan still looked calm and her tone was calm, which was in sharp contrast to the other party's sneer.

The scholar frowned and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Pei Zhaoqing.

"Feng Cheng, have you said enough? Miss Chu is just being humble and too lazy to argue with you. Can't you see that she has nothing but a few ink in her belly that I don't know is true or false, and she is still laughing at others? What a disgrace!”

"You..." Feng Cheng's face darkened, "Prince Pei has a noble status and I cannot compare with him, but the poems you wrote are really hard to compliment."

"Do I want you to compliment me?" Pei Zhaoqing sneered, "Besides, my prince is making progress every day, and sooner or later he will become a famous figure in the literary world. Brother Liu agrees with this, right!"

As he said that, Pei Zhaoqing looked at Liu Qianran and gave him a look, the meaning of which was obvious.

He was trying to help Chu Huanyan out of trouble, so hurry up and help him!

Liu Qianran smiled helplessly, "Brother Pei has indeed... made considerable progress recently."

"Yes, I can also testify that the elder brother did say it." Liu Zhaoran said without hesitation, and at the same time, he gave Pei Zhaoqing a telling look.

Feng Cheng's face became increasingly ugly when he saw them singing along, but Liu Qianran was the legitimate son of the Prime Minister's Mansion and had a reputation for talent. The other party had already spoken, so he couldn't say anything else.

But it would be embarrassing to just stop the show, so he turned to Xiao Rongxuan, raised his hands and said: "Your Highness, Third Prince, please forgive me for being rude. I have never seen Miss Chu in the past years. I don't know why you invited her this year."

Although Xiao Rongxuan started the topic, when Feng Cheng ridiculed Chu Huanyan just now, he had been watching from the sidelines, secretly observing Xiao Jinzhi's reaction.

It's just that the latter always looks like he has nothing to do with himself and is just watching the fun.

At this moment, Xiao Rongxuan glanced at Feng Cheng, and then looked at Chu Huanyan, who just said something bad about writing.

"Miss Chu, why should you be modest? As far as this prince knows, you were once a student of Mr. Chen Xi, and you were the only female disciple he ever accepted."
