Chapter 42 The Dangerous Banquet

During the luncheon, Qin Shuhuang quietly observed Xue Ruzhen and Xu Siyuan who were sitting not far away, and had to say that the two ladies that Mrs. Rong Guo liked had good personalities, and each had their own strengths. Being a queen did not humiliate Qin Shumin.

Mrs. Ma's adopted daughter, Du Yue, is about the same age as Xue Ruzhen and Xu Siyuan. She just turned ji this year and is tall.

She was smiling like a flower among the noble daughters, and she seemed to be familiar with everyone. She was dressed in elegance and refinement, like a blooming orchid.

At the banquet, although Du Yue didn't behave obviously, Qin Shuhuang, as a bystander, still found that she took more care of Xue Ruzhen and Xu Siyuan. Separate slightly.

After the luncheon, Qin Shuhuang asked Ruihe to arrange for people to secretly observe Xue Ruzhen and Xu Siyuan. If there was any movement around them, they must tell her as soon as possible.

Ruihe thought that the master was secretly testing the two young ladies Mrs. Rong Guo liked, so she agreed with a smile and went to arrange it immediately.

After ordering Ruihe, Qin Shuhuang went to see Mrs. Rongguo, and together with Mrs. Rongguo chatted with the ladies.

The noble ladies were arranged to go to the garden of the other courtyard, where various kinds of early chrysanthemums were planted, and there was also a stage on the water, singing the latest words from the capital.

After staying for half an hour, Qin Shuhuang saw that Mrs. Rongguo was tired, and Mrs. Ma had taken care of Mrs. Rongguo. Qin Shuhuang said to Mrs. Rongguo: "Auntie, I haven't been to the theater for a long time. There is a stage in the garden, and I just went to watch the excitement."

When she said this, even Mrs. Rong Guo and the noble ladies around her thought that Qin Shuhuang was going to the garden to meet the noble ladies under the pretext of watching a play.

After all, in the emperor's general election, the former emperor and empress are gone, Qin Shuhuang is the eldest sister, and the eldest sister is like a mother, so it is most normal to take care of her younger brother.

As soon as she opened her mouth, the ladies all handed Qin Shuhuang the steps.

"There's a new play called "Sir Niangzhuan" that was released recently. It's very good. It's being performed in the garden right now. It's a good time for Your Highness to go there."

"The lady Guo invited today is the most famous Yuntai class in the capital. The leader of this Yuntai class is quite capable. If there is a play that His Highness likes to listen to, the Yuntai class can give it to His Highness as long as he can name it. Put on a show.”

……

Qin Shuhuang stood up with a smile, "Thank you madam for your advice, I will go to the garden to join in the fun now."

Everyone sent Qin Shuhuang to the gate of the courtyard. Mrs. Rong Guo was worried, and asked her personal nun, Nanny Sun, to follow Qin Shuhuang to serve her.

As soon as Qin Shuhuang left the courtyard to go to the garden of the other courtyard, the noble ladies sent their close maids to tell him to bring the noble ladies, His Royal Highness the Princess, and let them behave well in front of the Eldest Princess.

On the way to the garden, Qin Shuhuang asked Ruihe in a low voice, "How are the two ladies doing?"

Rui He smiled and said: "Returning to Your Highness, the two noble ladies are much calmer than the other daughters. Now that you have gone, you are still in the mood to paint and cook tea in the garden! Miss Du is very fond of the two noble ladies. In order to take care of her, seeing that Miss Xue is only accompanied by a personal servant girl, I personally appointed a servant girl to take care of her."

Hearing Ruihe's words, Qin Shuhuang was slightly taken aback, then nodded, "Continue to be watched."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Qin Shuhuang didn't know much about the chrysanthemum banquet in the past life and today. He only knew that the chrysanthemum banquet was ruined by Xue Ruzhen's reputation. The death of Xu Siyuan made the Xue family regard the Du family as their enemies.My aunt was furious, her old illnesses became aggravated by new ones, and she passed away more than a month later.What exactly happened was kept secret from each other, and nothing was revealed.

The noble ladies got the news in advance, Qin Shuhuang hadn't arrived in the garden yet, many noble ladies had already waited at the gate of the garden.

As soon as Qin Shuhuang arrived in the garden, Du Yue and several noble ladies greeted him.

Du Yue's appearance is above average, and she has a refreshing temperament that Qin Shuhuang is familiar with. She is dressed in plain dresses, neither stealing the limelight from the noble ladies, nor appearing rude, which makes people inexplicably feel good when they see her .

Soon, Du Yue brought several noble girls to greet Qin Shuhuang.

"Minister Du Yue welcomes Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." Du Yue saluted respectfully.

Qin Shuhuang helped Du Yue and the others up with his own hands, "You don't need to be polite, I just came to watch a new play and find some excitement."

So Qin Shuhuang entered the garden of the other courtyard surrounded by Du Yue and the ladies.

The design of the courtyard garden in Rongguo Mansion is ingenious.

The entire garden is surrounded by other courtyards in the center. In the middle is an artificial lake. There is a theater pavilion in the center of the lake surrounded by various rockeries. Although the theater pavilion is not in the water, it looks like it is standing in the middle of the water when viewed from around the lake. The entire lake All around are verandas.

The verandah is hung with veils of various elegant colors, which are elegant and can block the sight of prying eyes.

Not far from the verandah are various small courtyards and wing rooms for entertaining guests, with pavilions and terraces scattered throughout.

All kinds of early chrysanthemums are placed in the entire veranda, with bright colors and different shapes. Walking on the veranda, you can enjoy the unique varieties of chrysanthemums, making people feel like they are not in the lakeside veranda, but in the flower corridor.

After entering the garden, the ladies all came to greet Qin Shuhuang. After the ceremony, Qin Shuhuang didn't bother them and let them go to have fun on their own as before.

Du Yue naturally accompanied Qin Shuhuang and introduced her to the garden scenery of the Rongguo Duke's mansion.

When the noble ladies were attending the ceremony, Qin Shuhuang noticed that Xue Ruzhen and Xu Siyuan were standing on the outer edge of the ladies, and had no intention of coming forward to get closer to her.

At this moment, Qin Shuhuang discovered that Xue Ruzhen was sitting in the veranda not far away, casually admiring a pot of purple chrysanthemums in the veranda, while Xu Siyuan was arranging flowers alone in a hidden corner.

The flowers scattered on the table were probably used by the noble ladies before, because Qin Shuhuang came suddenly, everyone was eager to show in front of Qin Shuhuang, the flower arrangement in the corner that was not easy to be noticed was Was thrown aside by the crowd.

Xu Siyuan is now the only one passing the time in the corner.

Du Yue gently introduced, "His Royal Highness, there is a poetry competition in the corridor over there. You ladies are full of talent. It is now at a critical moment. Why don't you go and have a look. If you can get one or two pointers from you, all the ladies The women must be honored."

Qin Shuhuang turned her head and glanced at the corridor over there. Sure enough, the competition was at its most exciting time, but unfortunately she didn't really come to watch the excitement, and those sour poems couldn't attract her.

Qin Shuhuang didn't show any interest in her eyes, she said lightly: "I am not interested in poetry, but in flower art."

After speaking, he walked towards Xu Siyuan's direction.

Panic flashed through Du Yue's eyes when she lowered her head, but it was quickly hidden by her.
