The prince spared his life! The lady has been reborn to save you
Chapter 12 Lotus Appreciation Banquet
At the lotus viewing banquet, there were no young female members in Princess Mengyang's mansion. There was only a prince who had reached marriageable age. The purpose of inviting so many young noble ladies was obvious.
Anyone who stands out at this time will naturally be seen as a thorn in the eyes of people with other ideas.
Chu Yizhao smiled, as gentle as a magnolia in the daytime.
She has no interest in Qi Heng, that wimp.
"Sister, didn't you say that you wanted to leave a good impression on the princess and dress up properly? Let me go first, right?"
"How did you forget?"
Chu Yingxue bet that she wouldn't dare to tell everyone in public about the stolen invitations. Zhao Shuzhen got angry when she heard the word "stolen". If she knew that Chu Yizhao had mentioned this word again outside, she would be in big trouble.
But she dares to talk nonsense...
Feeling the hostile eyes of the crowd, Chu Yingxue was a little flustered. "I didn't, sister, don't talk nonsense."
"Then just treat me as talking nonsense." Chu Yizhao looked at Chu Yingxue helplessly, as if he could not discipline this willful little sister.
Zuo Suiyan was puzzled. "Doesn't the Quyang Marquis's Mansion only have one young lady? Why do you have a younger sister?"
"Relatives from Wenyuan Mansion"
"Oh…"
Everyone looked at Chu Yingxue meaningfully. Every family has a few poor relatives, and everyone has seen them more or less. But Chu Yingxue was wearing expensive brocade.
Some lady murmured,
"A relative who lives with her is better dressed than a legitimate daughter."
Chu Yingxue's face suddenly turned pale. A legitimate daughter...
Obviously, she is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion! This little bastard Chu Yizhao didn't even know where he came from, why should she be bullied here like a turtle!
At this moment, she wanted to blurt out her identity.
Chu Yizhao smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She would rather her own daughter endure the humiliation than to plot against her, Chu Yizhao. The Quyang Marquis Mansion was a huge den of greedy people.
The ladies were chatting animatedly under the pavilion, while Chu Yingxue was standing alone on the side without even a seat.
When Chu Yizhao turned around again, the place where Chu Yingxue was standing was empty. She smiled and continued to talk to the ladies, talking about the embroidery on her dress.
"A new embroidery workshop has opened in the south of the city. There is an embroiderer inside with good skills, and her work is quite stylistically of southern embroidery."
"Southern embroidery is priceless, Ming, don't lie to me"
Zuo Suiyan had a cheerful personality, and Chu Yizhao was interested in making friends with her. She unilaterally felt that she and Chu Yizhao had hit it off from the first sight, and after learning his nickname, she began to call him by it.
"We'll find out next time if we go shopping together."
"Okay, we'll go tomorrow."
There is an artificial lake in the front yard of the princess's mansion. At noon the sun is shining brightly, and the surface of the water is sparkling, which is very beautiful.
Qi Heng was chatting and laughing with his friends when he passed by this place. Suddenly he saw a woman in blue sitting in the pavilion beside the lake. The woman had a graceful figure and was sitting sideways on the railing.
The bright light in the water reflected on the brocade gauze on the woman's body, like a beautiful blue koi.
Qi Heng stared at her intently. He originally thought that the girl from the Quyang Marquis's family was already peerless, but he didn't expect that there was also a beautiful mermaid here.
Yuwen Feng also became interested. He ordered his servant to "go and ask which lady it is."
The servant quickly walked up to the woman. The woman seemed startled, turned her head and looked over here from a distance, then stood up and walked towards him gracefully.
"My daughter Yingxue greets the prince."
The woman in front of me has her face covered with a veil and her eyes are full of affection, which is quite charming.
"My prince, why are you still covering your face? Who are you from?" Yuwen Feng waved his fan.
"My daughter came from the Quyang Marquis's Mansion. She got sunburned a few days ago. The sun is strong today and my family members are afraid that she will get sunburned again, so they let her wear a veil." Chu Yingxue replied
"Quyanghou Mansion? Yizhao's sister?"
Qi Heng smiled. Her neither humble nor arrogant demeanor was exactly like Chu Yizhao's.
Chu Yingxue clenched her fingers and gritted her teeth secretly. It was Chu Yizhao again. Why did everyone think of Chu Yizhao when they mentioned Marquis Quyang? She was the real mistress of the Marquis's mansion.
Looking at the handsome man in front of her, Chu Yingxue blushed slightly. Her mother said that Princess Mengyang was interested in forming an alliance through marriage with the Marquis's Mansion.
So, he is her future husband?
Today, she had tried every possible means to come here, just because she didn't want Chu Yizhao to be in the spotlight. Her mother was partial to her, so there was no guarantee that she would not give this marriage to Chu Yizhao.
She has to fight for her own marriage.
Seeing that the two were talking happily, Yuwen Feng felt much happier. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, glanced at Chu Yingxue, and walked away silently.
Meng Yang arrived slowly. As the only legitimate princess of the late emperor, she was truly stunningly beautiful, with the coldness of a superior between her brows.
The sarcastic and mean eyes from his previous life seemed to still be before his eyes, and Chu Yizhao's palms were slightly sweaty.
Today Meng Yang wore a moon-white silk dress, which diluted her sharp temperament.
"Although today is a lotus viewing banquet, I see that there are also hundreds of flowers blooming in this flower hall," Meng Yang said with a smile
The host spoke, and everyone around echoed him.
"Is the young lady from Marquis Quyang's Mansion here?" Meng Yang suddenly spoke, and the scene fell silent.
Chu Yizhao took a deep breath and slowly walked to the middle. "Yizhao greets the princess."
A pair of eyes looked her up and down, with a look of scrutiny and curiosity, but without the piercing malice of the previous life. Chu Yizhao slowly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Meng Yang retracted his gaze and smiled gently, "Don't be nervous. I've often heard my mother mention you, but I've never seen you. Now that I see you, you're really pretty and beautiful."
"Thank you for the compliment, Princess."
It seemed that Meng Yang really just wanted to take a look at her, and then let her go back to her seat.
"She is Chu Yizhao? The Queen Mother's favorite?"
“Just lucky”
"That's right, what do you mean by being good at mixing medicine? I think it's just a trick to be mysterious."
Some light and light discussions came into her ears, and Chu Yizhao smiled indifferently. This kind of doubts had never stopped in her past and present lives. She only told others that she had received guidance from Taoist Tianguang and never even mentioned her identity as a disciple. It was very normal to doubt her.
As they were talking, Qi Heng strode in from outside. He was a gentle young man with an elegant appearance. As soon as he entered the room, he attracted the attention of many women.
"Mother" Qi Heng bowed and saluted.
Meng Yang looked at his son with a doting smile and said, "Get up!"
Before he could say anything, a woman in blue came in from the door.
Chu Yingxue followed Qi Heng and saw a room full of people as soon as she entered the room. She was so scared that her legs almost went weak.
The person sitting in the upper seat was elegant and refined, with a strong aura that suppressed her so much that she didn't dare to raise her head.
"This is?"
Qi Heng smiled and introduced, "Mother, she is Yi Zhao's sister, Ying Xue."
"My little girl greets the princess." Chu Yingxue knelt down fearfully.
Meng Yang's eyes became sharp, "So it's you..."
This unreasonable sentence made Qi Heng a little confused.
Has mother met Yingxue?
"Marquis Quyang? Isn't Marquis Quyang's family sitting here?"
"Does the Quyang Marquis have two daughters? I remember that the Quyang Marquis only had one daughter."
Several noble ladies who had accompanied the princess were discussing among themselves, and their voices echoed in the flower hall.
Qi Heng was confused. He had never set foot in the backyard, and this girl kept calling him brother or sister. He thought she was the second lady of the Chu family.
"How dare you! Who are you? How dare you trespass into the princess's mansion!" Meng Yang shouted with his eyebrows raised.
Chu Yingxue was lying on the ground, her frail body shaking. "My little girl...my little girl is..."
Chu Yizhao stood up and interrupted her
"Reporting to the princess, she is the child of a distant relative of Lord Wenyuan. She was brought to my home last year. My mother said that she should be treated as a younger sister, so she is indeed a member of the Quyang Marquis's Mansion."
"A distant relative, why did your mother bring her here?" Meng Yang frowned.
"because…"
