After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

After passing through the Moon Cave Gate, Zhihua put away the invitation and couldn't stop smiling: "Miss, this guard is really nice to you. Just now I saw a young lady coming in, and the guard had a dark face and looked ferocious. Tsk tsk tsk... his expression changed so quickly."

Nian Susu reminded Zhihua that there were many people around and not much to talk about, so Zhihua shut up.

After passing through the sloping corridor and a long octagonal door, the scene in front of you suddenly opens up.

Several pavilions and towers are hidden among the mountains, rivers and trees, and are arranged in an orderly manner. They surround a pond of koi in the garden. The fish swim in the blue water, the stream meanders between the mountains, and the small Penglai Island in the pond emerges above the blue water. It is truly a paradise on earth.

Nian Susu and Zhihua were both stunned and stood still at the entrance of the Changbafang Gate.

She was right. Chrysanthemums are just the signature of Juxiang Garden, but in fact this is not a garden specifically for appreciating chrysanthemums, but a garden for people to enjoy the scenery.

Many people come here to visit, and in order to avoid criticism, chrysanthemums can be seen everywhere in the garden.

Zhihua also got what she wanted and met the "Erqiao" and "Sanse" whom she had been thinking about day and night.

There were groups of young ladies in the garden. Some were feeding the fish, some were appreciating the chrysanthemums, and some were sitting on the stone benches in the garden drinking tea.

Laughter and joy, the years are peaceful.

Nian Susu chose an empty corner to sit down, so that he could have a panoramic view of the garden and avoid trouble.

"Miss, don't you want to go for a walk?" Zhihua looked at the autumn scenery in the garden, her heart had already grown wings and flew away. Unfortunately, the young lady sat down as soon as she came and had no intention of strolling around at all.

It's a rare opportunity to come out, wouldn't it be a pity not to see the whole picture?

Nian Susu sat on the porch, leaning his head against the pillar, feeling bored.

She saw through Zhihua's thoughts and said softly, "Since you're here, go shopping. I'll sit here alone for a while."

Zhihua was worried about her being here alone, "Miss, now that you're here, don't you want to go and see her?"

Nian Susu sighed. She didn't want to come, but was forced to go to the party. Naturally, she was in a bad mood, not to mention she had no interest in strolling around.

Once a person loses his spirit, no matter how much he comes, it will be useless.

Unable to persuade her, Zhihua had to go see the sights alone.

Nian Susu was just in position to see the entrance. A dignified woman wearing a sky-blue embroidered dress walked in. Her steps were like lotus flowers and her manners were excellent.

She pulled her fox fur coat closer to her body, sniffed, and exclaimed: This is a true lady from a noble family!

If she hadn't traveled through the book and occupied the body of Nian Susu from the original book, she would have been so elegant and noble, right?

Nian Susu has no confidence in his etiquette and rules.

When the woman came closer, Nian Susu recognized her as the lady who played the piano at the banquet.

Zhihua said what was her name...her father was...

Before she could remember, the man had already walked up to her.

Li Yaoyuan smiled sweetly and bowed to her, "Miss Nian."

Nian Susu didn't dare to accept the greeting, and stood up in fear, pretending to support him, "You and I are of the same generation, there is no need to perform greetings when we meet."

Li Yaoyuan smiled and said, "Is it okay for me to come here to disturb Miss Nian?"

"I don't have much friendship with other girls, and I can't say much to them. I saw Miss Nian was here alone, so I came over to say hello. If the girl feels offended, I will leave now."

Nian Susu quickly shook his head and sat opposite her at the stone table in the corridor.

Although she was not familiar with this young lady, she felt that she was quite gentle. She spoke softly and slowly, like a feather brushing across her heart, making her reluctant to interrupt.

How could such a sensible and gentle person not have a single friend in this garden? Could it be that she has social phobia?

This guess was quickly rejected by Nian Susu. People with social phobia would never take the initiative to talk to others, especially strangers they had only met once.

"I guess Miss Nian doesn't know me." Li Yaoyuan said calmly, not feeling looked down upon at all. "My father is Li Zhiyi, the judge of the Ministry of Works. If you don't mind, you can just call me Yaoyuan."

Nian Susu finally remembered what the three words Zhihua said that day were - Li Yaoyuan.

"Hello, Miss Li." It was a belated greeting, but she still responded with gritted teeth.

The two chatted casually, and Nian Susu learned that Li Yaoyuan had a younger brother who was taking imperial examinations and a younger sister who had not yet reached the age of marriage. The younger brother was from the second wife, and the younger sister was born to the same mother.

Her mother died early, and her father made the second wife the principal wife. Since then, she and her sister have had a hard life. It all came down to the dirty things that happened in the backyard.

Talking about marriage, Li Yaoyuan smiled bitterly and said that she might be used as a tool for her brother to rise to fame, and when her brother needed connections one day, she would be forced to get married.

Her plain appearance made Nian Susu feel distressed. This was the fate of most women in this era, and Li Yaoyuan was the epitome of that.

As they were talking, there was a burst of voices coming from the other side of the long eight-sided gate, and a man's hearty laughter spread into the garden. The girls immediately perked up, stood in place, staring at the doorway, ready to welcome them.

Nian Susu and Li Yaoyuan were also attracted.

Looking over, two guards led the way and came in first. They stood on each side of the door, followed by the figures of Qin Guanqing and Qin Wenyuan.

The girls tried not to scream out loud, but could not hide their excitement. They turned to their companions and praised the Second Prince's elegance and grace.

Qin Guanqing smiled and talked to Qin Wenyuan, "Xiaowu, what's the point of a kid joining in the fun at an adult gathering? Big brother is not here, so I don't have time to take care of you."

Qin Wenyuan looked calm and glanced into the garden. "I'm only ten years old, of course I have to go out and play. Besides, I don't need anyone to take care of me."

"Good good."

Behind them were Qin Fengtian and Qin Siyi.

Qin Siyi was still as heartless as ever, laughing loudly with his mouth open. The laughter that just came into the garden was his.

"Third brother, these blue chrysanthemums are so rare! How do you think they grow them? Do they dye the seeds blue?"

"Third brother, don't be so serious. It's a rare opportunity to come to Juxiang Garden, so just enjoy the scenery happily."

"Third brother, don't be angry."

"Third brother, I won't play tricks on you anymore, okay? I won't mention the Second Miss Nian anymore, please don't be angry with me."

No one talked to Qin Siyi, which was more painful than killing him.

Qin Siyi felt that he was quite aggrieved. He had just teased him and Miss Nian Er in the carriage. He shouldn't be so angry until now, right?

Qin Fengtian's face turned green and he quickened his pace to shake off the chatter behind him.

Every time he was with Qin Siyi, he felt like a father taking care of his child.

"I think the third prince is also quite handsome."

"I think the Fourth Prince has a good personality."

"I still like the Second Prince. The Second Prince is the best."

The girls enjoyed arguing in low voices.

A group of people walked across the corridor, talking and laughing, towards the koi pond.

The girls were filled with amorous feelings and gathered there quietly, hoping to have a chance to talk to the princes.
