Qi Chu, Hou Mansion Miscellaneous Courtyard.

In the early morning, dawn began to appear and the yard was already bustling.

In a relatively clean courtyard on the east side, Hu Xin walked all the way from the kitchen with a food box.

"Miss, the longevity noodles are here."

"Take it in."

When Hu Xin lifted the curtain and went in, Ye Miao had already packed it up.

He is dressed in men's clothing and looks heroic.

Hu Xin put the noodles on the table, "Miss, who's the birthday today?"

He remembered that Ye Miao's birth date was not today, but November.

Ye Miao paused, then said as if nothing had happened: "Today is the birthday of Baoer and Prince Cheng."

Hu Xin showed a look of sympathy on his face.

Along the way, although Ye Miao never expressed his longing for Cheng Shuo and Baoer in front of him.

But Hu Xin saw Ye Miao look at Baoer's portrait countless times, read Cheng Shuo's letter again and again, and was reluctant to let go.

I don’t know how many times I saw Ye Miao’s swollen eyes the next morning.

Hu Xin wanted to comfort him, but opened his mouth, but finally closed it.

"Miss, eat slowly, and call me after you finish eating."

"Um."

After Hu Xin left, Ye Miao picked up the chopsticks and smiled slightly at the void opposite, as if Cheng Shuo and Baoer were sitting opposite.

"Cheng Shuo, happy birthday! Baoer, happy birthday!"

"I hope that next year, next year, and every year in the future, I will spend this day with you and every day."

In the study room of Ningguogong Mansion, a woman in a silver-red robe stood by the window. The breeze blew the gauze on her face, and the golden phoenix feathers on her face suddenly appeared, as if they could glow.

Someone knocked on the door gently, "Miss Feng."

"Come in." The woman did not turn around, but still stood by the window, looking at a tree of osmanthus that seemed to be dying outside the window.

A man in black came in and knelt on one knee, "Miss Feng, it has been arranged."

"I understand, go down."

"Yes, Miss Feng."

The man was about to push the door out when the woman suddenly said, "Please find a way to save the osmanthus tree."

The man was stunned for a moment, "Yes, Miss Feng."

Although I responded to it on my lips, I couldn't understand it in my heart.

This Miss Feng is extraordinary, but she doesn't look like a lady who cares about flowers and plants.

After the man in black left, the woman's eyes remained on the tree, and the red lips under the gauze were gently curled up.

Ye Miao Ye Miao, you let me suffer all the hardships. Now I am reborn from the fire and returned from death.

I won't let you die so easily.

Let’s see how I peel off your false skin layer by layer.

The Cuju competition was held in Taoshui Villa in the suburbs.

It covers a large area and is a place that integrates leisure and entertainment.

Many noble people in the capital, who are idle, will make an appointment to go there together.

When Ye Miao arrived, many people had already arrived one after another.

Because it was held by the prince, officials and their families in the court were very supportive, and the guards were extremely strict.

The carriages stopped in front of Taoshui Villa one after another. Ye Miao took out Qin An's token, and after the Imperial Guard checked, he let her in.

She followed the instructions and heard a neat shout from behind: "Boss Ye!"

Ye Miao turned around and saw several people led by Qin An running towards her.

Su Yu and Feng Fei were unwilling to fall behind, and only Wei Jiu walked slowly behind.

The few of them were all in silk red clothes and red pants, and they looked very energetic.

"Qin'an, Su Yu, Feng Fei, Wei Jiu." Ye Miao raised his hand to greet the people.

"Boss Ye, our location is over there."

Qin An and his friends were going to participate in the competition, and there were no special seats arranged in the viewing place, only a set of changing clothes and temporary rest and warm-up places.

Ye Miao followed a few people to the coloring shed. On the way, he met Chu Yuzhu and Song Ning'er who had not seen for a long time, as well as a few ladies with eyes.

Chu Yuzhu is wearing a blue cloud-patterned long skirt, bright and noble, while Song Ning'er is a crescent-colored smoke and water skirt, with a unique temperament.

"Young Master Qin." Chu Yuzhu nodded slightly.

Qin An bowed his hand very casually, "Miss Chu."

After saying that, he didn't look at her and directly called Ye Miao to leave, "Boss Ye, let's go here."

Chu Yuzhu couldn't help but look at Ye Miao, vaguely feeling familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

She remembered that there was no wealthy family named Ye in the capital. Qin An was so attentive. Could it be that some in-laws in the Qingnan Prince's Mansion?

But in her impression, there seemed to be no one with the surname Ye.

And even if there is, with the status of King Qingnan, which in-laws deserve such praise from Qin An?

Chu Yuzhu couldn't figure it out, and wanted to look at Ye Miao for a few more times, but in public, she was afraid of losing words, so she said that she was a grand young lady in the prime minister's house and stared at a strange man.

"Since Young Master Qin has guests, I won't disturb you." Chu Yuzhu said: "Let's go slowly."

Qin An nodded and took Ye Miao away as if he knew.

Song Ning'er's eyes kept on her fiancé Wei Jiu, but unfortunately Wei Jiu kept lowering his head, let alone greeting her, and he didn't even look at her.

Song Ning'er couldn't help but remember the fact that Song Cheng had a conflict with Wei Jiu before he was injured.

She clenched her lips hard.

After Qin An and his group left, a young lady said dissatisfiedly: "Young Master Qin is so rude. Miss Chu, if you get married to him in the future, you have to teach him well."

Chu Yuzhu smiled and said, "My father is still discussing with King Qingnan. It is normal for Mr. Qin to avoid suspicion like this. If it fails, it will not be a cause for someone to talk."

"Miss Chu said," said a lady giggling and echoing, "Can you learn from Mr. Jiang and laugh at each lady when you see him?"

After the words came, several ladies covered their mouths and laughed.

Jiang Zhixia wanted to marry a lady from a high school, and she was tacitly aware of the ladies and sons of these aristocratic families in the capital.

Several people were talking and laughing, and Chunxiang came over, "Miss, please come over."

"Let's go."

After Chu Yuzhu finished speaking, she walked to the viewing table with a few ladies.

There is a shed there, which is very cool.

"Ah my mother." Chu Yuzhu shouted.

Several noble ladies surrounded Mrs. Chu, and he heard this and called Miss Chu.

Chu Yuzhu smiled and greeted her one by one, then walked to Mrs. Chu and sat down next to her.

The noble ladies praised Chu Yuzhu very much.

"Miss Chu is getting better and better."

"Miss Chu is born with beauty and deserves to be the number one beauty in the capital."

Among these soft and flattering voices, a sudden and sharp voice suddenly sounded.

"Sister-in-law, Yuzhu!"

The ladies looked at each other and sat upright slowly.

Two bright colors walked quickly towards this side.

He wore several gold hairpins on his head, and his clothes were bright in color, which was particularly eye-catching everywhere he went.

It was Xia Yuwei, the concubine of her mother, Mrs. Xia, Chu Xiang.

All the ladies here are from legitimate daughters, but before Mrs. Xia got married, she was a concubine daughter and could not get into the circle of those legitimate daughters.

Later, Mrs. Xia married into the Xia family, and the Xia family was promoted all the way. Mrs. Xia also transformed into the wife of the third-rank minister.

In addition, Jiang's Store is a big money tree to help.
