Chapter 43

She hurriedly followed, and said with a smile: "It turns out that His Royal Highness the eldest princess likes flower art. As far as my daughter knows, the third lady of the official servant's family and the ninth lady of Jingchangbo's mansion are both good at flower art. Would you like me to invite them here?"

Qin Shuhuang turned her head and glanced at the familiar Du Yue, "No need, I just took a casual look."

Du Yue didn't expect Qin Shuhuang to reject her again, she frowned slightly, quietly followed Qin Shuhuang and didn't interrupt.

Qin Shuhuang quickly walked to the corner where Xu Siyuan was.

I saw that the girl had inserted all kinds of flower branches scattered on the table into the bottle.

Today's banquet is a chrysanthemum banquet, and most of the flower branches provided are all kinds of chrysanthemums.

Xu Siyuan's vase of flower arrangement doesn't look outstanding, but it's better than neatness. It can be seen that this girl is not good at flower art, and she is really just passing the boring time here.

After inserting all the flower branches into the vase, Xu Siyuan turned around and saw Qin Shuhuang standing behind her.

Xu Siyuan was slightly surprised for a moment, and then Luoluo greeted Qin Shuhuang in general.

"My daughter, Xu Siyuan, has met Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, but I don't know how impolite the Eldest Princess is when she visits. Please forgive me, the Eldest Princess."

Qin Shuhuang walked to Xu Siyuan's side, with a gentle tone, "It's okay, I'm just walking around casually, and I happen to be interested in flower art, so come and have a look."

Speaking of this, Qin Shuhuang's eyes fell on the few vases placed by the table, and Xu Siyuan filled the empty vases with flowers.

Seeing Qin Shuhuang looking at the vase, Xu Siyuan blushed immediately, and she explained a little shyly, "Your Highness, the minister is not good at flower art, and the minister just sees that these flower branches will quickly dry up when placed directly on the table, so I put it on the vase. All the flowering branches are inserted into the vase to keep the flowers fresh..."

Qin Shuhuang was surprised by Xu Siyuan's answer. Looking back carefully, the flower branches in the vase were indeed random, and they simply put the same flowers into the vase neatly.

Qin Shuhuang laughed, "Having a heart for flowers is much more valuable than being proficient in flower art."

Xu Siyuan didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Princess Princess not only didn't look down on her for not knowing flower art, but also praised her.

Instantly blushed by Qin Shuhuang's praise, she said humbly: "This is just a random act of a courtier's daughter, so I don't deserve such a compliment from Your Highness."

"If Miss Xu is fine, can you watch a play with me?" Qin Shuhuang offered to invite.

It was the first time for Xu Siyuan to get along with Qin Shuhuang. He didn't expect that the eldest princess, who had a bad reputation outside the world, was not only so approachable, but even took the initiative to invite her.Xu Siyuan had a good impression of Qin Shuhuang's actions just now. Now that Qin Shuhuang took the initiative to speak, how could she refuse?

In order to prevent Xu Siyuan from getting into trouble and not wanting Du Yue to stare and disturb her, Qin Shuhuang winked at Ruihe when she sat down, and Ruihe went out for a moment.

Not long after Du Yue sat down behind Qin Shuhuang, a maid hurriedly came to find her something to do.Du Yue had to take care of the noble daughter in this courtyard today, so she could only apologize to Qin Shuhuang and leave temporarily to deal with matters.

As soon as Du Yue left Qin Shuhuang's side, her personal maid came over and asked Du Yue in a low voice, "Miss, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is here. Is the tea that Miss Xu ordered earlier still available?"

The dangerous light in Du Yue's eyes flashed, but the tone of his mouth became surprisingly calm, "We are responsible for taking care of these nobles and daughters today, and naturally we must try our best to satisfy all their requirements. Since Miss Xu ordered tea herself, Naturally, it is going to be served. You should prepare now, and then send someone to send it over."

The servant girl who was close to her was slightly startled, and couldn't help raising her head to look at Du Yue, just in time to meet Du Yue's icy eyes, the maid froze all over, and immediately responded: "Yes, miss, this servant will go right away."

When her personal servant girl left, Du Yue glanced in the direction of Qin Shuhuang and Xu Siyuan, lowered her head to hide the greed in her eyes, and when she looked up again, she became the lovely Miss Du who spoke with a three-pointed smile and was careful and loving .

She didn't believe that what she did was so secretive, what could the eldest princess find out!
And Xu Siyuan can have such an ending because she asked for it, who made her ignorant, brother Du likes her so much!

The big brother Du in Du Yue's heart is not her own brother Du Xi, but Du Qinglin, the adopted son of Mrs. Rong Guo.

Qin Shuhuang and Xu Siyuan were sitting on the porch in the corner of the garden watching a play.

Originally, Qin Shuhuang just wanted to see Xu Siyuan with her own eyes, in case something happened to her. How did she know that Xu Siyuan was cheerful, kind and innocent, with a lively personality? It was more interesting than the drama on stage, and Qin Shuhuang couldn't help chatting with her.

While the two were chatting happily, the servant girl quietly brought two cups of tea and put them in front of them, and when serving tea to Xu Siyuan, the servant girl said softly: "Miss Xu, this is the lacquer you ordered."

Xu Siyuan nodded his thanks to the servant girl, and the servant girl who served tea bowed and retreated.

Xu Siyuan chatted happily with Qin Shuhuang, talked too much, and happened to be thirsty at the moment, and heard the maid said that this was the lacquer she ordered, and she picked up the teacup to drink tea.

Seeing that Xu Siyuan's teacup was about to touch his lips, some fragments suddenly flashed in Qin Shuhuang's mind.

Before Xu Siyuan drank the tea, Qin Shuhuang said: "The cup of tea Miss Xu ordered is called Qilu?"

Xu Siyuan heard the question from His Highness the Eldest Princess, quickly put down the teacup, and nodded coquettishly, "Your Highness is right, this Qilu is a fruit tea that has become popular in Beijing in the past year. It is sour and sweet, with a It smells like flowers, and some rich ladies don't like it, but I like it, and I often drink it at home."

Qin Shuhuang glanced at the vases of various colors placed on the flower table next to her from the corner of her eye. One of the vases contained a small flower branch called green peach.

The branches and leaves of green peach have a natural fragrance of peach blossoms, but they are not peach blossoms. Because of this smell, gardeners often use green peaches to match bouquets with vases.

Green peach itself is not harmful, but if you drink it with a fruit tea, it has an aphrodisiac effect!
This is what her master told her about the palace secrets when she was studying medicine.

When Qin Shuhuang's grandfather was in power, some concubines secretly used this method in order to keep the holy favor. Later, they were found out by the imperial hospital, and this concubine was thrown into limbo.

Qin Shuhuang didn't expect that this long-disappeared dirty method in the palace would let her meet again in the other courtyard of the Rongguo Duke's mansion!
And it was right in front of her eyes!
Qin Shuhuang hid the strange look in his eyes, smiled and said to Xu Siyuan: "I haven't tasted this lacquer, I wonder if Miss Xu can give up this cup of lacquer to me?"

Xu Siyuan didn't expect Her Royal Highness the princess to take a fancy to this kind of cheap fruit tea, and instantly felt that Qin Shuhuang was more friendly to the people.She likes the smell of Qilu very much, so she wants more people to like Qilu.

"Of course! Your Highness, please try it!" Xu Siyuan happily put the cup of lacquer in front of him in front of Qin Shuhuang.
