The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Han Chu carefully observed Yang Qi and said with some concern: "Yang Qi, you have lost a lot of weight these days."

Yang Qi held up his hands and looked at Han Chu: "Life on the farm is naturally very different from life in the mansion, but don't worry, it will be fine in a few days."

As he spoke, Yang Qi took Han Chu's hand and said, "By the way, Han Chu, since I returned home, I haven't had time to thank you properly.

Earlier, you were worried that I didn’t have enough to eat or wear in Xiaoyu Village, so you specially sent so many things over.”

Yang Qi has lost a lot of weight now, all because of the hardships he suffered during the trip to Xihu. Life in Xiaoyu Village is still very comfortable.

During the half year at the farm, whenever Han Chu got some new items or fruits that Yang Qi liked, he would send people to deliver them to her.

The friendship between the two did not become distant because Yang Qi went to Xiaoyu Zhuang.

Han Chu looked at Yang Qi and pretended to be angry and said, "What are you talking about? I'm worried that you're not having a good time, so I write to you every now and then, but you only reply to me once a month."

The person who received Han Chu's letter was a substitute arranged by Yang Qi.

Naturally, the substitute didn't dare to say much, for fear of letting something slip and ruining the master's important event.

Hugging Han Chu in a flattering manner, Yang Qi said coquettishly, "Oh, my dear sister, it's all my fault.

Life in Zhuangzi is the same every day, there is not much to talk about. "

Han Chu and Yang Qi are of the same age, but Han Chu was born slightly earlier.

Patting Yang Qi's hand unhappily, Han Chu looked at the furnishings in the yard and said, "Okay, I know you are busy.

Originally, when you first returned to the Duke's Mansion, I wanted to come look for you.

However, there are a lot of things going on in the Duke's Mansion these days, and my mother told me not to come here at this time, so I have been delayed until now."

Yang Qi agreed: "The mansion has indeed been busy these days.

You know what? I just helped to set up the venue this time, and I was exhausted these days. "

Han Chu nudged Yang Qi with his shoulder and said, “This coming-of-age banquet is well arranged.

Over the years, I have attended many banquets in the capital, and the decoration of the Duke's Mansion today is considered top-notch."

Yang Qi rubbed his hands and said: "My second sister is the apple of my grandmother's and father's eye. The family has put a lot of thought into her coming-of-age ceremony.

Didn’t you see? Even I was captured to serve as a soldier.”

Han Chu smiled and took Yang Qi's arm: "That's because you are smart and capable, and you are reliable in doing things."

While Yang Qi and Han Chu were chatting and laughing, Nanny Zhu reminded Yang Qi from behind, "Miss, the coming-of-age banquet is about to begin. You can ask everyone to take their seats now."

"Go quickly. Today is your second sister's coming-of-age party, so you should work harder." After saying that, Han Chu patted Yang Qi's small hand very naturally.

Yang Qi looked at Han Chu helplessly, then led Nanny Zhu towards Bai Yuxin.

Now, most of the girls surrounded Bai Yuxin. As long as Bai Yuxin sat down, everyone else would naturally sit down.

Bai Yuxin has always been adept at dealing with such occasions, but that doesn't mean that Bai Yuxin is happy to deal with these interpersonal relationships.

Yang Qi came over at this moment and asked everyone to sit down. Bai Yuxin was naturally happy to end this social interaction as soon as possible.

After everyone was seated, the first person to arrive was not Yang Lan, who appeared in formal attire, but a servant who shouted, "The fifth prince is here."

Song Hongwen, the old lady and others in the room were delighted when they heard the servant's report, and they all stood up to welcome His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince.

At this banquet, Bai Yuxin, as a distinguished guest, naturally sat together with Yang Qi, the young lady of the host family.

After hearing the servant's reply, Yang Qi understood and quickly looked around at the expressions of everyone in the courtyard. Everyone had a look of surprise on their face.

The only difference at the scene was Bai Yuxin. A hint of anger flashed across his face. If Yang Qi hadn't been observant, he would not have noticed it.

"Why is the Fifth Prince here?"

"Yes, I have never heard that the Fifth Prince has any contact with Song Yanglan?"

"Could it be that Song Yanglan will marry into the royal family in the future?"

These four short words were like a thunderclap, causing everyone present to talk in an uproar.

Song Hongwen and the old lady knelt at the front to welcome His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, and the ladies and daughters of each family followed closely behind.

Because Bai Yuxin has been betrothed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she is exempt from performing formalities on such occasions.

Today, the Fifth Prince was wearing a blue suit, very low-key. He swept his eyes over the people in the courtyard, paused slightly at Bai Yuxin, and then said loudly: "Everyone, get up."

After the Fifth Prince spoke, Song Hongwen stood up and said, "My daughter is coming of age today, and it is truly a blessing for her to have the honor of seeing you, Your Highness."

After Yang Qi stood up with everyone else, he secretly looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the biggest threat.

I have to say that this fifth prince does look 50% similar to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

However, perhaps because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince grew up with his adoptive father and grew up in the military, his eyes and brows are more heroic.

After Song Hongwen invited the Fifth Prince into the house, Yang Qi and others took their seats.

Han Chu, who was sitting next to Yang Qi, excitedly shook Yang Qi's hand under the table and asked, "What's this about?"

Han Chu originally thought that today was just an ordinary banquet, but he never expected to see such a lively scene.

Yang Qi shook his head silently and whispered, "I'm dizzy too."

The old lady and Song Hongwen hadn't revealed anything in advance about the Fifth Prince's visit today, and Yang Qi had also noticed some clues from the arrangement of the banquet.

"No way, you didn't even know that the Fifth Prince came here in person today?"

Yang Qi looked helplessly at the excited Han Chu and said, "I was just helping out at this banquet. How could my grandmother and father tell me about such an important matter?"

"That's right. Your Highness is very busy and has many affairs to attend to. I'm afraid that the Duke cannot confirm whether Your Highness will attend."

If the Duke of Song's Mansion announced to the public that His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince would come in person, but in the end he did not show up, then the Duke of Song's Mansion would be greatly embarrassed.

However, this is the first time that His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince has attended a girl's coming-of-age ceremony. I'm afraid that Song Yanglan will marry into the Fifth Prince's mansion soon.

Today is really lively. The future Crown Princess Bai Yuxin, the Fifth Prince, and Song Yanglan, who is likely to marry the Fifth Prince, are all gathered in the Duke of Song's Mansion.

Amidst the discussions among the crowd, Yang Lan appeared in the courtyard wearing a light red long-skirted dress.

When Yang Lan appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of all the girls.

In the past, everyone knew that Yang Lan had an exquisite appearance, but today, when everyone saw Yang Lan in her gorgeous attire, they realized that this daughter of the Duke's Mansion had grown into an unrivaled beauty.

For some reason, everyone subconsciously compared Yang Lan and Bai Yuxin. They felt that although the two looked different, their temperaments were too similar, as if they were beauties carved from the same mold.
