In March, spring is warm, flowers are blooming, and everything is in spring.
On this day, Princess Chu held a 100-day banquet for her daughter, and various aristocratic families in Kyoto received invitations one after another.
Princess Chu invited her, so Mei Yunluo naturally wanted to bring the ladies from the palace to attend. An Xixiu was busy with business and felt that she had no talent, so she found a reason not to go.
Now that the Anping Marquis Mansion has successfully joined the ranks of celebrities in Kyoto, the daughter of the An family has naturally become a hot commodity that all the major families are vying for.
Although they were all concubines, Mei Yunluo also regarded them as his legitimate daughters and took them with him, making all the ladies envious.
An Xili didn't want to come either, but there was no one to accompany Mei Yunluo, so she came.
The banquet at Prince Chu's Mansion was full of guests, and each family gave the little princess all kinds of dazzling gifts.
An Xili also made a small bellyband to give to the little princess as a gift. The pattern on it was designed with the help of Gong Jin. It took her two days and two nights to embroider it stitch by stitch. She even liked it when she saw it. If it wasn't designed for Little Baby, she would have wanted to embroider one for herself.
As she thought, the gift was carefully wrapped, and before she knew it, she came to a pond.
At this time, a richly dressed young man came towards her and said, "Is this the fifth young lady of An Mansion?"
She raised her head and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Li Yongcheng. My father is Li Shangshu. I have long heard that the fifth lady of the Anping Marquis Mansion is good at embroidery. I heard that the fifth lady also embroidered gifts for the little princess." Li Yongcheng quickly found a topic. It seemed that he came up to me after asking about it.
An Xili glanced at the brocade box in her hand and said, "How do you know I have a gift for the little princess?"
Li Yongcheng was stunned and speechless for a moment. He couldn't say that he had gone all out to find out.
So, he said: "Guess."
"Master Li is really good at guessing." The person who spoke was not An Xili, but Nangong Jin who had changed into a brocade uniform.
When Nangong Jin had his face disfigured and was sent away, after Concubine Xu died, everyone thought that the Sixth Prince was also dead. After his face was healed, his appearance also changed a bit, so no one recognized his true identity.
Li Yongcheng also asked, "Who are you? I'm talking to Miss Fifth, what did you say?"
Gong Jin also had a suave face. At this time, appearing in front of An Xili made Li Yongcheng feel a sense of crisis, so his attitude was a bit bad.
"I'm Gong Jin, I'm Miss Li's friend. Mr. Li, what advice do you have?" Gong Jin said directly.
"I'm also a friend of Miss Fifth. Miss Fifth, let's go over there to enjoy the flowers." He said this deliberately.
An Xili looked at him and said, "But I really don't know Mr. Li, I'm sorry."
After she finished speaking, she walked towards Gong Jin and said with a smile: "Why did Mr. Gong come to the Prince of Chu's Mansion?"
"Participate in the little princess's 100-day banquet." Of course he would come to attend the little niece's 100-day banquet.
"Oh, I also accompanied my mother to attend the 100-day banquet of the young princess." She said.
"I know." Gong Jin has rarely seen An Xili since the Lantern Festival. He heard that she was grounded because she stayed out that night.
"You know? How do you know?" She asked again, "Did Brother Xuan tell you?"
At this time, Li Yongcheng was pushed aside and watched helplessly as Gong Jin accompanied An Xili to the garden to enjoy flowers, while they were chatting and laughing.
He wanted to marry the daughter of Marquis Anping, even if he was a concubine. The second young lady was annulled. He heard that the fourth young lady was also very beautiful, but she didn't seem to be favored. Only the fifth young lady was beautiful and deserved Mrs. Mei's favor. Love.
However, he heard that the An family was not planning to get their daughter engaged before the fifth lady had hair, so he wanted to get to know her first.
So, Li Yongcheng followed closely behind them, "Miss Fifth, let's go to the garden with you next time."
