Wearing a book, hooking him up

At this time, Chu Yinxue, An Jinyan and Bai Mengli were sitting next to Miss Ye.

To Su Jingyao, these people are all acquaintances.

After Su Jingyao sat down, Chu Yinxue was the first to speak.

Chu Yinxue has been a beauty since she was a child, and her eyes are particularly beautiful, they are extremely charming fox eyes with slightly upturned corners.

At this moment, there was a hint of displeasure in her eyes.

"Miss Su has never participated in such a banquet before. Last time, at my tenth birthday banquet, Miss Su declined. It seems that the Chu family is not as prestigious as the Ye family and cannot invite Miss Su."

After saying this, the corners of her mouth turned down slightly, without hiding her dissatisfaction.

Chu Yinxue has been extremely confident about her appearance since she was a child, and has always attracted much attention among the public with her outstanding looks.

I have never seen Su Jingyao before. When I saw her today, I found that this Miss Su was so beautiful that it was annoying.

"Miss Chu, you are too kind. On Miss Chu's birthday, she was indeed weak, and I don't want to make her too sick. Miss Chu, please forgive me."

There are many reasons why Su Jingyao doesn't want to attend these banquets.

In her previous life, although she was reincarnated, there was always an adult soul in her body.

The people at these parties were all children who were around 11 or 12 years old, with the oldest being no more than 15 years old. Su Jingyao really had no interest in interacting with them, nor did she want to bother dealing with them.

For her, attending such a banquet was a sheer waste of energy.

These young ladies were always trying to show off their talents and compete with each other. Naturally, she didn't want to do these laborious and unprofitable things with a bunch of kids.

I don’t want to watch those childish little boys trying hard to show off themselves like a peacock spreading its tail. It’s really boring.

After listening to Su Jingyao's explanation, Chu Yinxue snorted softly, turned her head to the side and stopped talking.

As the people at the table were chatting casually, many young men began to gather around.

"Miss Ye, ladies, the weather is nice now, the sun is shining, and there is a gentle breeze. Let's go out for an outing."

The one who spoke was Yan Shuhan, the eldest son of the Yan family.

He was wearing a moon-white robe, a light blue belt around his waist, and a warm jade pendant. He looked elegant and handsome.

"Okay, all the gentlemen and ladies invited today are here, let's go out together."

Ye Yaqin responded with a smile, stood up and led everyone out.

Su Jingyao also stood up with a smile and followed everyone out.

Si Nanyu, the son of Marquis Wu'an, didn't really want to come this time. In his opinion, it would be more enjoyable to go out horseback riding with a few friends than to attend these boring banquets.

But when his friends heard that it was Miss Ye's party, they all came with great interest.

The banquets hosted by Miss Ye always invite many young men and women from the capital. They are all old enough to get married, so naturally they all want to choose a wife with a similar family background and whom they like.

Si Nanyu seemed to be walking casually, but in fact he walked to Su Jingyao's side calmly.

His heart beat faster involuntarily, but he tried to calm himself down. As soon as Miss Su came in, she attracted his attention.

"Miss Su, this is the first time we meet. I am the Marquis of Wu'an. May I get to know you?"

There was a hint of nervousness in his eyes as he spoke.

This Miss Su had a very beautiful face, and seemed somewhat cold when she was silent, which made him feel unsure whether she was easy to approach.

Su Jingyao turned to look at him, surprise flashing in her eyes.

It's him?

In their previous life, they met at the Flower Festival, and it seemed that Mr. Si fell in love with her at first sight.

"Mr. Si, this time I came to the banquet, my mother also wanted me to get to know more young men and young ladies in the capital. In the past, I was not in good health and did not go out often. Now that I have met you all today, I naturally want to get to know more of you."

Si Nanyu couldn't help but feel excited when he saw that she was lively and cute when she spoke, and not at all the cold and aloof as he had imagined.

Just as he was about to find another topic to talk about, Yan Shuhan on the side immediately spoke up and interrupted him.

"Miss Su, let me introduce myself to you today. I am Yan Shuhan, the eldest son of the Yan family. I am just fifteen this year."

Su Jingyao smiled at him, "Hello, Mr. Yan."

After that, a few more young men came and walked up to Su Jingyao, introducing themselves to her with anticipation on their faces.

Su Jingyao was very generous and open to everyone who came and greeted them one by one with a smile.

Si Nanyu couldn't get a word in. He stood aside, feeling anxious but helpless.

Ye Yaqin had been maintaining a calm and composed expression, but at this moment, she was gradually showing signs of collapse.

She was just a little girl of about eleven years old. When she found that she was no longer the focus of everyone's attention and no longer the center of attention as usual, she felt bitterness and loss in her heart and naturally felt very uncomfortable.

However, years of strict upbringing were like invisible shackles that forced her to suppress all negative emotions deep in her heart.

Su Jingyao was annoyed by the little boys who came up to chat with her one after another. She inadvertently noticed that Ye Yaqin beside her was in a strange mood.

Although Ye Yaqin and the others had a grudge against him in the previous life, in this life, they were just young girls who knew nothing about anything.

What's more, Jun Zechen only loves me in this life and there is no way he would marry them.

Su Jingyao also doesn't need to harbor any hostility towards them.

Su Jingyao walked gently to the side and picked a white crabapple flower.

Holding a crabapple blossom, she walked in front of Ye Yaqin. They were almost the same height.

Su Jingyao raised her eyes, met Ye Yaqin's gaze, and smiled. There was not a trace of falsehood or affectation in her smile.

"Ms. Ye has a beautiful face, just like this blooming white crabapple, with a beautiful face and natural charm, which is very suitable for Miss Ye."

As she spoke, Su Jingyao took Ye Yaqin's hand, and with her other hand she inserted a crabapple flower into Ye Yaqin's hair.

Finally, she playfully blinked her big, lively eyes at Ye Yaqin, her eyes full of sincerity and friendliness.

"So lovely."

Ye Yaqin was stunned for a moment by Su Jingyao's intimate behavior, and she didn't know how to react for a moment.

Chu Yinxue, who was standing by, saw this scene and her dissatisfaction instantly exploded.

Su Jingyao didn't come to her birthday party last time, but this time she was so intimate with Ye Yaqin and even bought flowers for Ye Yaqin.

What on earth does she mean by this?!

All these young ladies in Beijing are surrounding the hypocritical Ye Yaqin, but Ye Yaqin is obviously a wolf in sheep's clothing!

Chu Yinxue's face was tense, and her dissatisfaction was written all over her face.

Su Jingyao took in Chu Yinxue's reaction and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

It’s really hard to raise children!

She picked another red crabapple and walked in front of Chu Yinxue.

"Miss Chu, your face is as beautiful as a crabapple with dew on it, and your eyes are as affectionate as a crabapple. This red crabapple flower is a perfect match for you~"

"Humph, I am prettier than this flower."

Chu Yinxue crossed her arms, raised her chin and pouted.

She would not be easily bribed by Su Jingyao's flattery. She and Ye Yaqin were the same kind of people and were really annoying.

Chu Yinxue was a little shorter than Su Jingyao. Su Jingyao just smiled at her childish and angry words and didn't care.

With a teasing look in mind, he tilted his head and asked, "Do I look good?"

After saying that, Su Jingyao slowly moved her whole face closer to Chu Yinxue, blinked her big, lively eyes, tilted her head, and looked at her with a smile.

Both of them have big, bright eyes, and at this moment each other's faces are clearly reflected in each other's eyes.

Chu Yinxue had never been so close to anyone before, and she was a little at a loss for a moment.

She was stunned for a moment, looking at Su Jingyao who was so close to her, and had to admit...Su Jingyao seemed really beautiful.

"Hmm? Doesn't it look good?"

Su Jingyao's eyes revealed a hurt expression, and her eyelids trembled slightly, as if covered with a layer of light mist.

"No, no, it's pretty nice."

Chu Yinxue turned her head away in panic, with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"I didn't attend Miss Chu's birthday last time. To express my apology, can I invite Miss Chu to the Su Mansion in a few days? I have prepared a gift and I hope Miss Chu will accept it."

Su Jingyao took Chu Yinxue's hand and shook it gently.

Chu Yinxue didn't expect Su Jingyao to invite her directly. She was stunned at first, then raised her chin and said arrogantly, "Okay, since Miss Su is so sincere, I will go."

When it comes to coaxing children, Su Jingyao feels that she is quite good at it.

After all, they are still young, and their pure hearts have not been blinded by power and jealousy. They are still very cute at this time.

Afterwards, Chu Yinxue seemed to have found a companion and held Su Jingyao's hand tightly, not letting go for a moment.

He even didn't let Su Jingyao get any closer to Ye Yaqin.

Ye Yaqin looked at the intimacy between the two and felt as if something was blocking her heart, making her vaguely unhappy.

Her brows were slightly furrowed and a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes, but she still tried to maintain her outward dignity and smile.

An Jinyan followed the crowd bored and had no interest in the young men who came here today.

She must marry the prince in the future!

Even if she cannot become the Crown Princess, she still wants to marry the Crown Prince, become a royal concubine, and enjoy wealth and glory.

The reason why she came today was just to fulfill her mother's request and build good relationships with these young ladies from aristocratic families.

The young men and women were strolling leisurely, chatting and laughing happily.

Su Jingyao's eyes moved around, and she could talk freely about the flowers and plants around her, and she could even recite poems related to these flowers.

Si Nanyu always followed closely beside her, with admiration and obsession in his eyes.

Miss Su is still so young, but she is well-versed in history and is especially good at poetry.

Yan Shuhan had also been following not far away. Although he tried hard to conceal his expression and his eyes were not as obviously passionate as Si Nanyu's, his glances that occasionally drifted towards Su Jingyao also exposed his thoughts.

Su Jingyao seemed unaware of their kindness and just enjoyed the scenery along the way.

Ye Yaqin has been working hard on poetry since she was young. At this moment, listening to Su Jingyao's explanation and recitation, she couldn't help but admire her secretly.

How could there be such a perfect woman, so outstanding in both appearance and talent?

As everyone was talking and laughing, the sun gradually set and the orange-red sunset filled the sky.

"Ms. Chu, Ms. Ye, it's almost time. I should go back."

Su Jingyao stopped, turned slightly, and spoke softly to Chu Yinxue and Ye Yaqin.

Ye Yaqin nodded gently, "Miss Su, take care."

Su Jingyao nodded and turned to leave, but Chu Yinxue followed her immediately.

"Su Jingyao, you don't often attend banquets, so you don't know how hypocritical Ye Yaqin is. Don't play with her. We are both so good-looking. In the future, whenever you come out to attend a banquet, I will take you with me."

Chu Yinxue pulled Su Jingyao's sleeve, pouting her lips, with a sincere and arrogant look in her eyes.

Su Jingyao was slightly stunned at first, then she couldn't help but chuckled, "Okay."

Chu Yinxue got a satisfactory answer, turned around, and put her hands on her hips at the two people who had been following her.

He said angrily, "Master Yan, Master Si, Miss Su is going back home, do you still want to follow her?"

When Chu Yinxue pointed it out so bluntly, Yan Shuhan's face suddenly flushed with embarrassment. He scratched his head, his eyes flickered, and he lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly.

Si Nanyu was thick-skinned. He puffed out his chest and looked calm.

"Ms. Chu, I am worried about the safety of you two women. Miss Su's carriage is still in front. I will escort her to avoid any accidents."

"Thank you, Mr. Si, but you're welcome." Su Jingyao turned around and said politely.

"No trouble, no trouble."

Si Nanyu waved his hands quickly.

Seeing that Si Nanyu was determined to send her to the carriage, Su Jingyao shook her head helplessly and stopped trying to stop him. Just let him go.

Yan Shuhan followed silently, secretly competing with himself in his heart.

Si Nanyu glared at Yan Shuhan.

The Yan family is so complicated, why would Lord Su marry Miss Su into the Yan family?

Moreover, his mother has a good relationship with Mrs. Su. When Miss Su grows up, it will be natural for her mother to propose marriage.

Yan Shuhan can't beat him!

Su Jingyao ignored the two "tails" following her, walked to the front and back of the carriage, and stopped.

"My two lords, my carriage is here, you can go back now."

She bowed slightly, with a hint of distance in her tone.

"I met Miss Su today. She is just as the rumors say. She is well-educated and beautiful. My sister is about the same age as you. She really wants to meet you once. If you are free, can I invite Miss Su to go on a boat trip on my sister's behalf?"

Miss Su seldom attends such banquets. After meeting her this time, I don’t know when we will meet again.

Seeing how shameless Si Nanyu was, Yan Shuhan was so angry that he clenched his teeth.

Si Nanyu doesn’t have any sister!

It's almost like he has a concubine sister.

Thinking about it, he was ready to do the same, but just as he was about to speak, Su Jingyao refused.

"I don't go out often. If I'm lucky enough to meet Mr. Si's sister at another banquet next time, I'll get to know her again."

The smile on Si Nanyu's face froze instantly, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he didn't force it.

"Okay, Miss Su, take care."

Su Jingyao bowed slightly, lifted her skirt, turned around and got into the carriage.

However, as soon as she went up, her body suddenly froze.
