Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

Damn girl! You are such a fool!

Xu Yiwen took a step forward, and without bothering to help his father up, he asked Siqin: "What did the Seventh Prince say?"

"He didn't say anything, just wrote a note and put it in this pen case, and asked the servant to take it back."

Xu Yiwen reached out to take it, but his father jumped up and snatched it away. He couldn't wait to open it with trembling hands, hoping it wasn't a letter of withdrawal of engagement!

Peace of mind.

There were only two words on the note.

When Old Man Xu saw these two words, he breathed a sigh of relief as if he had seen a golden medal of exoneration.

The emperor's grace is so great, I am so grateful! The word "peace of mind" is clearly written for myself, telling myself that the marriage will not be affected. As expected of a prince, this is the demeanor I want!

He stood up, patted the dirt without caring about his image, and pulled Xu Yixing, who had stayed out of the whole process, to his side: "Look, this is the Seventh Prince's appreciation of you, you must behave well, and don't do anything to upset him again!"

Huh? How come from this tone, my father has already regarded me as a member of the Seventh Prince's family, and he is still admonishing me like this, which is really boring.

Old Man Xu turned around and saw that there was still a brush in the pencil case. He gave the note and the pencil case to Xu Yixing and told her to go back and rest early.

After making a fuss for half a day, the sun was about to set when they returned. Xu Yixing could only see the two words by the light of the lantern.

The Seventh Prince's handwriting is quite nice, powerful and very neutral, neither wild nor delicate, but very moderate.

"Rest assured? You want me to be law-abiding and be a good person? Fuck you."

She slammed the pencil case shut, threw it to Siqin, and strode back to the yard.

After this incident, the Xu family was quiet for many days. Gu did not return to her parents' home, but her father did not intend to let her take power again, so she really lived a retirement life.

Shadow Five's identity was revealed, and he followed Xu Yixing with his head held high every day, and no more gossip spread.

But what made him unhappy was that Old Man Xu felt that his second daughter was not good at socializing, so he forced her to attend the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony.

Of course, it was not to attend any banquet hosted by a small family, but to go to Prince Cheng's mansion to attend Prince Cheng's banquet.

Among all the people in the capital, Prince Cheng's family loves to be lively the most, otherwise they wouldn't have opened a school for everyone. Anyway, the emperor trusts and likes Prince Cheng, and even if the expenses are a bit high, he will give him some money privately, not to mention that there is the empress dowager watching over him, so his life is much more comfortable than other princes.

So on May 4, Xu Yixing took a long bath under the "escort" of Siqin, taking care of every strand of hair. If for no other reason, it was because the princes would also attend the banquet at Prince Cheng's Mansion, and the young lady must not be left behind in such a show of face.

When the day really came, Xu Yixing dressed up according to his favorite look, but Siqin shook her head and said it was inappropriate, what a shame!

"What do you know? You always wear such plain makeup, and you look pale! Mine is a proper peach blossom makeup, it will definitely outshine all the other girls."

Siqin: ... Is red eyelids and face considered peach blossom makeup?

With clean water poured on the street and loess laid on the road (which was impossible), Xu Yixing still arrived at Prince Cheng's mansion reluctantly.

The gates of Prince Cheng's mansion were wide open today, and servants led the guests in wave after wave. Xu Yixing got off the carriage, and after reading the invitation, someone took her in.

"Ms. Xu, this way please."

"Have the princes arrived yet?"

"Except for the Second Prince, the others arrived this morning and are helping my Lord entertain the guests."

“Oh…” That’s normal. Prince Cheng is the uncle of several princes, so it’s his duty as a younger generation to help out.

As he was walking around the flower corridor and preparing to go to the backyard, he saw Lu Anyuan coming towards him from afar. When he saw Xu Yixing, he first looked at her, as if he was trying to hold back a smile, and then waved to the maid who was leading the way, letting her leave.

"You're here. Your outfit today seems particularly... different?"

"Really? Didn't my sister dress like this before?" Except for the times when the two of them talked alone, Xu Yixing had now gotten used to thinking of himself as Yi Yan, and it was easy for him to talk about his sister.

Lu Anyuan thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized: "Yes, she likes bright makeup. Come on, I'll take you in."

"What are the arrangements for today's banquet?"

"We will drink, write poetry and have fun. Then we will play some games. Later we will have rice dumplings and green bean cakes."

"That's it? It's too ordinary." Xu Yixing thought that the banquet held by Prince Cheng's Mansion would be very unique, but it turned out to be the same old thing.

"You're not expecting my uncle to come up with some new and interesting shows for you, are you?"

"I dare not. How do we divide the venue?"

"On the back lake, there are men on the shore, and the pavilion in the middle of the lake is for the ladies to enjoy."

"So far away?"

"Standing on the shore, feeling the lake breeze, and looking at the shadowy fairies in the pavilion, it is naturally beautiful." Lu Anyuan half-closed his eyes, seeming to enjoy this feeling.

"Oh, you know a lot, don't you? You must have watched beauties under the moon a lot, you must have experience!"

Lu Anyuan stopped and turned to face Xu Yixing: "Look at your tone, are you jealous? Jealousy is a great loss for a woman. Besides, no matter how experienced I am, I can't compare to you who have someone to entertain you at home."

Xu Yixing tilted his head and met Lu Anyuan's gaze. You bastard, I don't know who is jealous.

A Da and Si Qin had long seen that the two were bound to have a quarrel, so they stepped back early and stood at both ends watching the people coming and going.

Xu Yixing waved his hand and called Ying Wu who was following him to his front: "Look, this is my adulterer, Xiao Wuzi."

When Lu Anyuan heard the word "adulterer", his eyelids twitched and he subconsciously looked at the man, but he only took a glance and immediately regained his composure.

"Interesting, it seems I misunderstood you." Lu Anyuan wanted to reach out and pat Xu Yixing's shoulder to comfort him, but was avoided.

This Lu Anyuan is really outrageous. He thinks he is your brother and keeps patting you on the back all day long. He must be sick!

"Why, are you judging people by appearances? How come you can tell you misunderstood me after just one look?"

"No, I just sincerely apologize to you." Lu Anyuan clasped his hands together, as pious as if he was worshiping a god.

"You're apologizing too early. Actually, although Xiao Wuzi is average looking, he has special talents in other areas. He is quite suitable to be my lover."

Lu Anyuan's breathing stagnated, and his neck seemed to be a little red, which was a sign of the blood rushing up. Xu Yixing knew at a glance that he must have thought of something wrong. Sure enough, men only think about that thing in their minds.

"What specialty are you talking about?"

"Oh, that's hard to say. He's gentle, considerate, humorous, affectionate. Anyway, he has so many good qualities that I can't list them all."
