The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 390: Secret Competition at the Banquet

"What happened to Yang Qi today? He just changed his clothes, how come he disappeared?" Looking around, Han Chu was really confused.

When Yang Qi left, the banquet had just begun. Now he was full and the banquet was over, so why hadn't this person come yet?

It takes so long, even if it’s to the city gate, it’s enough for a round trip.

He does not mean that.

Looking at Yang Lan's appearance, Bai Yuxin raised the corners of his lips slightly and said, "Come to think of it, this sister Yang Qi has been gone for quite a while.

Sister Yanglan, do you think we need to send someone to look for it?"

Following Bai Yuxin's words, Yang Lan looked at Bai Yuxin with a deeper look in her eyes. Was she too sensitive today? She always felt that Bai Yuxin's words to her were piercing.

Everyone in the capital city knew that Bai Yuxin was the treasure in the heart of Prime Minister Bai, and Song Yanglan was the treasure in the palms of the Duke of Song's Mansion and Marquis Yongyi, and both of them were brought up in luxury.

But in Han Chu's eyes, Song Yanglan and Bai Yuxin are both the same kind of people. They are like smiling tigers. They always speak softly and gently on the surface, but are full of calculations behind the scenes.

After all, who can be the top person in the circle of noble ladies in the capital city is simple?

What's more, both of them are about to marry into the royal family.

All the girls present pricked up their ears to listen to the confrontation between Bai Yuxin and Song Yanglan.

The situation in the court now is very clear.

From high-ranking officials to ordinary people, everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince must be fighting openly and secretly now.

As the Crown Princess appointed by His Majesty, Bai Yuxin will soon marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

And the Fifth Prince's actions today secretly indicated that Song Yanglan and the Fifth Prince were about to get married.

In addition, Bai Yuxin and Song Yanglan are both disciples of Mr. Yang, and they have known each other since childhood.

There are so many connections and coincidences here that make everyone present curious.

When Yang Lan put down the cup, all the mixed emotions he had felt before instantly dissipated.

Lifting the corners of her lips slightly, Yang Lan revealed a perfect smile: "Sister Yuxin and I thought the same thing. Earlier, I asked Madam Li to take people to look for Sister Yangqi.

Sister Yangqi has been taking care of everything for me these days, maybe she is tired.”

Bai Yuxin nodded slightly, with a gentle smile on her face, like a gentle breeze blowing by: "You are lucky to have such a caring sister.

Of course, it is also Yang Qi's blessing to have a sister like you who cares about others."

Yang Lan smiled and raised the cup in her hand: "Today, Sister Yuxin has given me the honor of visiting you. I would like to offer a toast to Sister Yuxin."

Considering that all the guests attending the banquet today were women, Xu prepared fruit wine.

It has a hint of wine, but is not intoxicating.

Bai Yuxin raised the cup, as a gesture of respect to Yang Lan, and took a sip. Looking at Nanny Li who appeared nearby, he smiled and said, "This person really can't stand being talked about. Look, isn't Nanny Li here?"

Han Chu held his chin with one hand, followed Bai Yuxin's gaze, and saw Nanny Li appear at the intersection: "It's amazing, speak of the devil and he will appear."

Yang Lan smiled faintly, and her eyes seemed to have just noticed Madam Li by accident: "Madam Li, everyone was talking about you just now, did you fall or get hurt?"

Nanny Li's eyes were very sharp. She could tell at a glance that the atmosphere at the table was not right. After bowing beside Yang Lan, she stood behind Yang Lan.

Bai Yuxin looked behind Yang Qi and said casually, "If I remember correctly, this nanny served the Empress Consort during the New Year in the palace before?"

When everyone heard this, their faces changed.

It’s lively, really lively!

Bai Yuxin's words today actually reminded everyone.

Over the years, Bai Yuxin has had a very close relationship with Concubine Nian, who would often call Bai Yuxin into the palace to talk.

Not to mention the common people, even many dignitaries thought that Bai Yuxin would definitely join the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

Nanny Li's expression remained unchanged, and she took a step forward: "Miss Bai has a good memory. When I was young, I was indeed fortunate enough to stay in the palace of Concubine Nian..."

Before Nanny Li could finish her words, Bai Yuxin interrupted with a smile: "Sister Yanglan is so lucky. Over the years, she has been taught personally by the Nanny next to Concubine Nian.

If you don't know what happened, you might think that Concubine Nian has already decided on you, right?"

Yang Lan was already a little uneasy because of An's sudden death. At this moment, Bai Yuxin's words made Yang Lan feel a little nervous: "Sister Yuxin, what are you talking about? This Li Ma is..."

Bai Yuxin raised her hand slightly and interrupted someone for the second time today: "Don't be nervous, I was just joking."

Although Bai Yuxin said this, there was no smile on her face.

When Yang Lan heard this, he knew that Bai Yuxin was teasing him just to see him look so flustered.

But how did he offend Bai Yuxin that she would embarrass him in such a situation?

Could it be that it was really because she was going to marry into the Fifth Prince's mansion that she was destined to be an enemy of Bai Yuxin, who would soon become the Crown Princess?

Because of Yang Qi, Han Chu is very close to Bai Yuxin and Song Yanglan today and can see the most clearly.

Although Bai Yuxin directly said "it's just a joke", Han Chu intuitively felt that something was wrong. However, she observed Bai Yuxin carefully and found that there was nothing unusual on Bai Yuxin's face, as if what she had just said was indeed just a joke.

Yang Lan was constantly being tested by Bai Yuxin. She calmed herself down and tried to find out what Bai Yuxin was up to.

However, before Yang Lan could speak, Bai Yuxin stood up with a smile.

"Sister Yanglan, I'm feeling a little unwell right now and would like to go for a walk nearby."

After saying this, Bai Yuxin left the table with her personal maid and nanny before Yang Lan could react.

Looking at the backs of Bai Yuxin and his group walking away, Yang Lan's eyes were filled with anger.

For some reason, when Yang Lan saw Bai Yuxin, she had a very bad premonition, as if she was entangled in something bad.

"Madame Li, send someone to keep an eye on Bai Yuxin. I want to know everything she did today, including what she said and what she did."

Madam Li nodded slightly: "Don't worry, Miss, Yu Lu has already caught up.

The main house has been temporarily suppressed, and servants and maids have been arranged nearby to ensure that no outsiders can enter.

Besides, the Third Miss has already arrived at the main house. With the Third Miss around, it is believed that the Sixth Miss will not be able to make any noise.

The old lady and the Duke's people have also arrived at the main house, and Aunt Yin has also arrived."

Nanny Li only heard the second half of the previous conversation between the young lady and Bai Yuxin, but she was able to confirm that the young lady and Bai Yuxin were secretly competing with each other just now!
