Don't think too much into it. Right now, the mansion's situation is unfavorable for us, it's better to not move first, ”Madam Ye said.” I heard the other wives say that the empress had decided to convene her Hundred Blossom Banquet and invite many of the capital's best friends to the palace to admire the flowers.
”Will the Prince Jin come as well?” Thinking about the warm Prince Jin, Xue Liuhua could not help but smile. She was the young master that all the women in the capital yearned for day and night.
Madam Ye, who understood her daughter's thoughts, lovingly touched the top of her head: ”I know you have been longing for Prince Jin for a long time, but you still have to be more reserved, don't lose your manners in front of Prince Jin.”
Xue Liuhua nodded obediently.
The guests gave their congratulations to Xue Longhu one by one, but he did not see the figure of Madam Ye or Xue Liuhua, so he asked the servant beside him, ”Where have the Madam and First Miss gone to?”
The attendant shook his head. ”This little one doesn't know. I might have gone back to my room to dress up.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Longhu saw the Madam Ye holding onto Xue Liuhua's hand and walking into the hall, and could not help but complain: ”The Mistress and Eldest Miss are both not present, and are not the least bit courteous.”
The Madam Ye immediately replied: Liuhua's body isn't feeling well, I accompanied her back to her room to rest, causing the old master to delay waiting on a guest, she truly deserves to die.
Xue Longhu saw that Xue Liuhua's eyes were slightly red and there were faint traces of tears on her face.
Madam Ye secretly pinched Xue Liuhua's hand, and laughed: ”This daughter's house can't help but be a little charming.”
When Xue Liuhua saw Xue Liuhua crying on her birthday, Xue Longhu felt that it was a bit disheartening. Furthermore, looking at her golden-red body, which was even more gorgeous than the women in the palace, she couldn't help but frown. ”Why are her clothes so eye-catching?
Xue Liuhua explained, ”Today, my father, the Emperor, will definitely send someone over. I am wearing the clothes of the internal department, which makes me seem even more magnanimous.”
Xue Longhu remembered that Xue Ronghua had dressed very lightly today, ”I remember that your sister as the quasi wangfei of Prince Duan also had a set of clothes, is she not wearing it?”
Xue Liuhua hurriedly added, ”I was just thinking that little sister would despise me.”
”Rong Hua will be marrying into the Prince Duan Palace soon, and there will be plenty of expensive materials in the future. Let her do as she says.”
Xue Liuhua said in dissatisfaction: ”She is lucky, flying up the branch in an instant to become a phoenix.”
”Hmph, she's already flying up. You're even prettier than her. Why don't you pick up a tall branch and fly up?”
Xue Liuhua thought of her Hundred Blossom Banquet later, and angrily said to her father: ”I am a phoenix, and a tall branch!”
Xue Longhu looked at her for a long time before he could only shake his head, ”Don't tell those who are interested to hear it, you won't be able to harm the Xue Clan.”
After a while, the gatekeeper sent someone to report to the emperor that the Prince Duan was here.
Xue Longhu ran to the front door and knelt down respectfully: ”Greetings, Prince Duan.”
Chu Zongge smiled and helped Xue Longhu up, ”Prime Minister, no need to be so courteous.”
Xue Longhu immediately invited Chu Zongge into the Palace.
Chu Zongge looked around and saw that all the female servants in the house were dressed in gold and silver, all in different colors. Only Xue Liuhua, who had an exceptional appearance, was able to see through them, while the others were all rouge and vulgarities that she could not even see through. He looked around, and suddenly saw a blue figure following behind Xue Longhu.
Xue Ronghua smiled and bowed, ”Greetings Prince Duan.”
Chu Zongge helped her up, and his fingertips indistinctly brushed past her ear, ”You and I will be married in the future, there's no need to be so courteous.”
Xue Ruohua stood there silently, no longer looking at his playful eyes.
Xue Liuhua looked at the two's intimate reaction and snorted coldly.
Chu Zongge heard and laughed: ”Is Miss Liuhua's throat not well?”
Xue Longhu glared angrily at Xue Liuhua, and said anxiously: ”I've been a little angry recently, thank you Prince Duan for your concern.”
Xue Ronghua bit her lips and almost laughed out loud, Chu Zongge sighed lightly and winked at her.
”Big sister's throat doesn't feel well. It started this morning.” She smiled and looked at the dumbstruck Xue Liuhua.
Chu Zongge knew that there was a big problem and said deliberately: ”It's easy to get coughing if the air is bad in the morning.”
Xue Ronghua and Chu Zongge acted like they were playing stage set up in the Xue Residence, ”Actually, it's fine as long as you just find a few people to talk, Sis, what do you think?”
Looking at Xue Liuhua's flushed face, Xue Ronghua almost wanted to laugh.
Xue Longhu did not know what happened in the morning, so he asked curiously. ”It started in the morning, what happened in the morning?”
Xue Liuhua did not want her father to know about this, so she quickly concealed it and said: ”After coughing a few times in the morning, Rong Hua heard about it. She cares about me.”
When Xue Longhu heard this, he felt that his daughter was really nosy and even caused Prince Duan to worry. He immediately said, ”After the banquet ends, you should go find a doctor to prescribe some medicine. Stop groaning and groaning.”
After three rounds of drinking at the table, Xue Longhu was drunk and began to chat with the guests about the affairs of the world.
”The Great Qi has weakened a bit in recent years,” Xue Longhu said proudly. ”We have already eaten quite a few cities in the northeast.”
Another lord laughed: ”Without Mu Family, without Mu Langhua, how can Qi Nation match up to our Great Qin Empire in terms of military capabilities?”
Another lord said worriedly, ”The Sovereign of Great Qi, Meng Qianzhong, is definitely not someone he can deal with. I'm afraid he won't be that easy to deal with.”
