The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

The elders in the family are not going today, so Yang Lan takes her three younger sisters and An Xiaoqiu with her, and the mansion prepares two carriages.

Aunt Yin begged the Duke to let Yang He go with him, and Yang Jing also brought An Xiaoqiu along.

When Yang Qi arrived, Yang Lan, Yang Jing, Yang He and An Xiaoqiu were all there.

Yang Jing looked at Yang Qi who arrived last and curled her lips: "Third sister, you are too slow. We have been waiting here for a while."

Yang Qi didn't want to talk to Yang Jing today, but Yang Jing had to provoke him: "If I remember correctly, our appointment was at the beginning of the Si hour, and it's not time yet. Besides, my Linhu Courtyard is the farthest away, so I hope Sixth Sister will bear with me."

Yang Jing was scolded by Yang Qi. Just when she was about to retort, Yang Lan said, "Okay, it's time, let's go. We are going to the Princess's Mansion today, and we must not be late."

The carriage prepared by the mansion has stopped at the door. Yang Lan has a carriage of her own, which was given to her by the wife of Marquis Yongyi, Lady Feng.

Yang Jing didn't want to sit in the ordinary carriage of the Duke's Mansion behind, so she took Yang Lan's hand and said, "Second sister, I have a lot of questions to ask you. Can I sit in the same carriage with you?"

Not to mention that Yang Lan grew up with Yang Qi, and Yang Qi’s temper and personality are more similar to Yang Lan’s. However, when the sixth sister spoke, Yang Lan winked at Yang Qi and said, “No problem.”

Yang Qi, Yang He and An Xiaoqiu took the carriage at the back. As soon as they got on the carriage, Yang Qi closed his eyes and rested. In all these years, Aunt Yin and Yang He had not made any big moves since Xiao Ju left the house, but Yang Qi would not relax his surveillance on Aunt Yin and Yang He.

An Xiaoqiu was also a very thoughtful person, and every word he said was to find out information. Sitting in a carriage with such a person, Yang Qi chose to close his eyes and sleep.

Yang Jing had ridden in An's and Song Hongwen's carriages before, but Yang Lan's carriage was more refined and had better details.

Yang Lan watched Yang Jing touching left and right in the carriage, and cleared his throat: "Sixth sister, you said you had a question to ask, what is it?"

Yang Jing's eyes widened: "Second sister, I heard from the servants that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also attend the flower viewing banquet this time. Is that true?"

Princess Cheng'an did send an invitation to the Eastern Palace for today's banquet, but it is unknown whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will attend.

The fact that Princess Cheng'an has feelings for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is known to everyone in the capital. This time, Princess Cheng'an may have other intentions in the flower viewing banquet.

Looking at Yang Jing who was looking forward to it, Yang Lan was helpless. The question Sixth Sister was asking about was not whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would go with her. "Sixth Sister, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's affairs are not something we can interfere with."

Yang Jing felt a little disappointed when she couldn't get an answer from Yang Lan. In the past few years in the northwest, Yang Jing had always heard people around her say that the Crown Prince was wise and brave. If she could meet the Crown Prince this time, it would be a fulfillment of her expectations for so many years.

Seeing that Yang Jing stopped talking, Yang Lan said, "Sixth sister, this is the problem you just mentioned, isn't it?"

There is nothing wrong with that. Yang Jing just wanted to sit in a good carriage, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just heard the discussions in private.

Scratching his head, Yang Jing hurriedly asked a few questions about the book he had read a few days ago.

Although Yang Lan knew that Yang Jing was just playing around, she still answered all of Yang Jing's questions one by one.

When they arrived at the princess's mansion, a maid came forward to greet Yang Qi, Yang Lan and their group.

The maid was leading the way. Looking at the noble ladies and gentlemen walking in groups of three or four, Yang Lan asked, "Should we pay our respects to the princess first?"

The maid turned her head slightly and said, "The princess went to the palace today and is not in the mansion now. The princess has ordered to take the ladies directly to the garden. The hydrangeas are in full bloom now."

Yang Lan smiled and nodded: "The princess is thoughtful."

When they arrived at the garden, Yang Qi saw Han Chu standing there doing nothing. He explained something to Yang Lan and then walked towards Han Chu.

Yang Qi was careful and didn't remind Han Chu, but suddenly hugged him from behind: "What are you thinking about?"

Han Chu was really scared: "Yang Qi, you are getting worse and worse."

Pushing Yang Qi to sit on a chair beside him, he said, "Yang Qi, you always come late. I've been drinking a cup of tea here."

Yang Qi said cheerfully: "It's all my fault. My yard is far away."

Seeing Yang Qi smiling, Han Chu couldn't say anything to complain: "You."

Because there were many noble ladies and gentlemen coming to enjoy the garden, more tables and chairs were added to the garden.

There were fresh fruits on the table. Yang Qi took a strawberry, but found it very sour when she took a bite, much worse than the one Yuan Ruiyuan sent.

It has to be said that after being fed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for so many years, Yang Qi's appetite has become much more picky than in his previous life.

Seeing that Yang Qi ate one and didn't take any more actions, Han Chu smiled and said softly: "What's wrong, this strawberry is not delicious."

Yang Qi blinked and agreed with Han Chu: "Why didn't you remind me earlier that it didn't taste good." After all, it's a princess's mansion, the fruits they serve are not presentable.

Han Chu leaned closer to Yang Qi and said, "This princess's mansion has long been strong on the outside but weak on the inside. There are only three masters in the princess's mansion. Besides, the princess has a salary and the prince consort has an ancestral property. Logically, the princess's mansion should not be short of money. However, my mother said that the princess and the county lady like luxury the most. Usually, all the items must be made of gold or jade. This princess's mansion is not a silver mine. Over time, except for the three masters, other expenses in this mansion are very tight."

Yang Qi looked at Han Chu's face full of gossip and patted Han Chu on the shoulder: "Only you dare to say these words."

However, even someone like Lian Hanchu could find out the news with a little inquiry. It seems that the control over the princess's mansion is not strict on a daily basis.

Han Chu ignored Yang Qi's teasing: "Yang Qi, come closer."

Yang Qi approached Han Chu obediently.

Han Chu then whispered in Yang Qi's ear: "Princess Cheng'an has been secretly in love with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince since she was a child, and has even shown her affection to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in public. However, according to the current situation in the Princess's Mansion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like her."

Gossip is a woman's nature. Yang Qi whispered, "Han Chu, I met Princess Cheng'an at the last banquet. I think she is a real beauty. It is not impossible that the Crown Prince is attracted to Princess Cheng'an."

Han Chu glanced at Yang Qi, with a look of "You are too young" on his face: "Who is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? He is the future emperor. I'm telling you, don't tell anyone. The situation in the court is complicated now. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince are fighting fiercely. The person His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to marry must be able to help the court. Princess Cheng'an doesn't have any power behind her."

Yang Qi said jokingly: "The family that can help, isn't that Bai Xiang's granddaughter?"

The court consists of military officers and civil officials. The military officers have always respected General Huo, the Duke of England, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not need this. The civil officials are just for show, second only to the emperor and above everyone else.

Han Chu ate a strawberry and said, "Is Concubine Nian going to call Bai Yuxin into the palace now? Everyone knows what Sima Zhao is thinking!"
