Chapter 386

Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan had dressed up early in the morning, but this time they were not dressed so grandly.

Zhou Mu wore an azure-colored tunic with dark patterns. He had a slender figure. Such a simple outfit still made him have broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs.He has a superior frame, a noble aura, and an aura of abstinence all over his body. One can't help but blush if he takes one more look at him.

Gu Xiyan wore a gold and butterfly satin dress, and the headdress was the Xiyan Flower Hairpin given to her by Zhou Mu on her birthday.She was usually reluctant to wear this tiara, so she naturally had to wear it on such a big occasion as today.

She wore light make-up, had a pretty face, and a pair of clear apricot eyes. Her temperament was both pure and charming of a first-married woman, and she looked stunning.

Zhou Mu has always known that his little wife is very beautiful. She is so beautiful when she is not dressed up that people can't take their eyes away. What's more, she has specially dressed up today?
After looking at Gu Xiyan steadily for a while, he said, "If someone makes trouble later, please let me know."

"Okay." Gu Xiyan agreed happily.

After that, guests arrived one after another, and the couple were busy entertaining them.

Madam Liu also brought Liu Junyan to the Zhou Mansion.As soon as she saw Gu Xiyan, Mrs. Liu walked up to her kindly, looked at Gu Xiyan up and down and said, "The princess looks very good."

Gu Xiyan never got close to Mrs. Liu, so she asked politely: "Is grandma okay?"

"Everything is fine, grandma." The old lady said, subconsciously searching for Liu Huiyan.

How could Gu Xiyan not know that the old lady was looking for Liu Huiyan?The old lady is really confused. How could Liu Huiyan, a maid, appear in front of people on such an occasion today?
If people know that Miss Liu Huiyan and Liu Si do not do anything, but are willing to become a dowry maid, do they still want the face of Wanqing Houfu?

She left the old lady behind and went to receive other guests.

Wang Yuying had just entered the Zhou Mansion and quickly came to Gu Xiyan. After saying goodbye, she said, "The Zhou Mansion is so luxurious. No wonder it is said to be the most magnificent mansion in the entire capital."

Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "I will take you to the house for a walk later."

"The princess will be busy first." Wang Yuying said, taking Mai Zi with her, and went to say hello to the other noble ladies.

Not long after, the sisters Zheng Wanqing and Zheng Wanrong also came. They bowed to Gu Xiyan first. At this time, someone else entered the Zhou Mansion, but it was Princess Baohe.

Ever since they followed King Zhao to the Zhou Mansion for a meal last time, Princess Bao and Princess had been thinking about when they could have another meal. This time they heard that Gu Xiyan was holding a flower-viewing banquet, so they followed King Zhao out happily. palace.

As soon as they saw Gu Xiyan this time, Bao and Princess rushed to Gu Xiyan and said enthusiastically: "Ajin, please say hello to my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law looks really good-looking today."

Gu Xiyan knew that Princess Baohe was named Zhou Jin, but she didn't expect that Princess Baohe would be so close to her this time they met again.

She smiled slightly: "The princess is also very beautiful today."

"Sister-in-law, please call me by my nickname Ajin from now on?" Princess Baohe suggested with a smile.

"What A Jin says is whatever it is." Gu Xiyan followed the good advice.

She just didn't expect that Bao and Princess's hearts would be won over with just one meal.

Princess Baohe smiled and narrowed his eyes, secretly thinking that since she was getting close to her sister-in-law, would she be able to go out of the palace more often to have food in the future?

Other guests also arrived one after another, Xu Zhener also came, and Liu Chaoyan also appeared.

When Liu Chaoyan came to Zhou Mansion for the first time, she felt that this mansion was more grand than Prince Qin's Mansion. Now that she came here, she was still jealous that Gu Xiyan, who had always been inferior to her, was happier than she was.

"There are a lot of guests here today, can sister be busy enough?" Liu Chaoyan questioned Gu Xiyan's ability the moment he saw her. "Thank you for your concern, sister. It shouldn't be a big problem. There are many guests today. Since my sister is one of our own, I won't entertain you any more. Please help yourself." Gu Xiyan replied with a light smile.

Liu Chaoyan watched Gu Xiyan dealing with many female relatives, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

When all the guests had arrived, Gu Xiyan led a group of people to the garden.

After passing through the two moon cave doors, many female relatives entered the garden.

At first, everyone thought that admiring flowers was just for the first time, but they didn't expect that as soon as they entered the garden, they saw all kinds of rare camellias.

The first circle of camellias are bright red in color and large in shape, similar to Heding Red, so they are also called Heding Red.

The second circle of camellias is rose color, dark green leaf color, named Zhuangyuanhong.

There are also precious and rare scarlet claw hibiscus, red pill, and flower crane feathers of various shapes and colors, which are charming and beautiful.

Of course, the most eye-catching one is the Eighteen Bachelors. Its flower shape has a unique structure. Hundreds of petals form a hexagonal corolla. The tower shape is arranged in an orderly and clear layer. Among all the camellias, it is undoubtedly one of the top ten. The Eighth Bachelor is the most ornamental.

Only flower lovers in the capital know that eighteen bachelors are difficult to raise, and even harder to raise them well.

At a glance, there were actually dozens of pots.

Zheng Wanqing also loved camellia, and when she saw so many Eighteenth Bachelors, she couldn't move her eyes away.

"The princess actually raised so many eighteen bachelors?" Zheng Wanqing was surprised.

Before she left Beijing, she also raised a pot of eighteen bachelors, but she couldn't keep it alive that time, so she had to give up in the end.

"I didn't raise them. Your Highness knew that I was going to hold a flower viewing party, so I don't know where I got these hundreds of pots of camellias." Gu Xiyan explained Zheng Wanqing's doubts.

Zheng Wanqing's heart tightened as she thought of the outstandingly handsome man she saw on the meandering wine glass.

She had been calm these past few days, but when she mentioned everything about Zhou Mu, she still couldn't take it lightly.

Liu Chaoyan answered from the side at this time: "It turns out that these camellias were borrowed by the imperial brother, don't they have to be returned?"

Hu Die, who was guarding Liu Chaoyan, laughed when he heard this: "Princess Qin doesn't have to worry about this. Since His Highness sent these flowers to the garden of the Zhou Mansion, they are the property of the Zhou Mansion. Princess Qin may I don’t know, in order to win over Xiyan’s smile, His Highness would probably find a way to pick them off, let alone hundreds of pots of camellias, even if Xiyan wanted the stars in the sky.”

Liu Chaoyan looked at Hu Die coldly: "Who do you think you are? When this princess is talking, when will it be your turn to interrupt as a maid?!"

"Xiaodie is not a maid, she is my friend and my guest. Liu Er, this is my Zhou Mansion. If you are rude to my guests in front of me, is this the upbringing of your Princess Qin?" Gu Xiyan's expression Indifferently, looking at Liu Chaoyan was like looking at an ant.

When Liu Chaoyan saw that everyone's eyes were fixed on him, he couldn't get off the stage and turned around to leave the garden.

Everyone else gathered in the garden to enjoy the flowers. Liu Chaoyan didn't know where to go. Just when she was hesitating whether to leave Zhou Mansion, Liu Huiyan suddenly appeared, glanced at her, then turned and walked forward.

Liu Chaoyan's heart shuddered, and she immediately understood.

She looked around to make sure there was no one around Gu Xiyan, then followed Liu Huiyan.
