Seeing Chu Chengping go over to talk, Chu Chengyi also stood up and sat over.
An Zhixian joked with a few people, and did not forget to greet the young masters and officials who were familiar with him. Although he was a businessman, he was not fawning, just like friends reminiscing about old times.
Not only Chu Chengyao noticed this scene, but Qin Zongliang also saw it.
Chu Chengyao picked up the tea cup and approached a few people with two disciples from aristocratic families. While chatting and laughing, he accidentally spilled the tea in the cup onto his sleeve, making a small corner wet.
He took out two handkerchiefs from his arms and used the plain handkerchief to wipe away the water stains, but accidentally dropped the embroidered handkerchief on the ground. Chu Chengyao hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but the man beside him was faster than him.
"Your Highness, is this the veil that you have treasured for many years and never leave?"
Seeing the man holding it up and opening it, Chu Chengyao stretched out his hand helplessly and said:
"Zhicheng, stop making trouble and return the veil to me quickly."
When the man named Zhicheng saw this, instead of giving him the gift, he ran out of the hall holding the handkerchief and laughing loudly:
"Your Highness has not expressed his deep love for many years. Instead of burying it deep in his heart, it is better to find the owner of this veil. If she is already married, Your Highness can let her go. If she has not been betrothed, isn't it a good marriage destined by God? ."
Chu Chengyao caught up with the man, made a fuss before snatching the veil back, carefully smoothed it, folded it, and put it back in his arms:
"Nonsense, if she gets married, wouldn't it be harmful to her?"
Everyone laughed and turned over the story, but Qin Zongliang remembered it in his heart.
The prince's personal entourage entered the hall and whispered a few words to the prince. The prince and Qin Zongliang looked at each other and then left the hall.
Chu Chengyao, who was chatting with the Prince Consort and others, kept staring at the movements in the hall with his peripheral vision, and when he saw this, he found an excuse to follow closely.
In the flower hall.
Some officials and family members of aristocratic families who rarely appeared in public gathered together to chat, and Qin Zhixu, in the name of the Crown Princess, chatted happily among them. Feng Siyao introduced one by one the official family members that Lin Jinyan and the others had never met before. Before the introduction was finished, Qin Zhixu dragged them away into the crowd.
Although Feng Siyao didn't want to, he couldn't show his disagreement with his sister-in-law in front of so many outsiders, so he could only bite the bullet and be greeted by Qin Zhixu.
Seeing Feng Siyao's suppressed anger face, several people couldn't help laughing. Soon some officials and family members came to talk to Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang called Wang Huizhao over to say hello.
The acquaintance of the daughter came over to greet a few people, but Zhou Yuexue got up too quickly, knocking over the sweet soup and spilling it all over her clothes.
Seeing that her clothes were so dirty that she couldn't see anyone, Zhou Yuexue anxiously invited Lin Jinyan and Lin Wanrong to accompany her to change clothes. As soon as Lin Jinyan agreed, the maid from the princess palace came to Lin Jinyan and said that she was the princess.
Zhou Yuexue: "Since the Crown Princess is here to invite you, sister Jinyan, please go quickly. Don't let the Crown Princess wait impatiently."
Seeing Mrs. Qi coming towards the flower hall, Lin Jinyan worriedly left Hong Jiu beside Lin Wanrong, gave some instructions, and left with Bai Zhi and the maid.
The maid took the two of them to a secluded courtyard away from the main hall. She looked around a few times and saw no one around. Lin Jinyan looked at the maid:
"Didn't you say that the Crown Princess wanted to talk to me in private if she had something to say? Why didn't you meet me in person?"
"Ms. Lin, follow me to the house and stay for a while."
Lin Jinyan glanced at the room pointed by the maid without moving, stared at the maid closely and asked:
"Did the Crown Princess really tell you to come to me?"
The maid hesitated and said: "Miss Lin... please wait in the room for a moment. Your person will be here soon."
