After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

Huang Shanshan took the initiative to talk to Bai Luochuan, who was a little flattered.

His cousin seemed gentle and polite to everyone, but when they were in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, he never even spoke a few words to her.

Bai Luochuan watched as Old Madam Kong put a hairpin on Bai Youyou, her eyes full of doting.

"My sister is naturally good."

It can be said that there are only a handful of people in the capital who are prettier than his sister.

No one from the Zhao family was invited to Bai Youyou's coming-of-age ceremony, so Lu sent an invitation to Zhao Qianqian in Bai Youyou's name.

She walked to Qi Yue with a smile on her face, "Master Qi."

Qi Yue nodded at her tenderly as a greeting.

Bai Zhenzhen, who was standing by, noticed the expression on his face and the curve of her lips lowered. She pinched the handkerchief and bit her cheek tightly.

On weekdays, Qi Yue was either in the academy or in the Qi Mansion, so she had no chance to get close to him.

This is a rare opportunity today, she must not miss it!

"Brother, Xiao Si's coming-of-age ceremony has been completed. You can accompany Miss Zhao to the backyard to take a look. The water lilies that Xiao Si raised have bloomed. They are so beautiful."

After Qi Lian finished speaking, he winked at Zhao Qianqian playfully.

Zhao Qianqian gave him a look that said, "You know what's going on," and asked in mock surprise, "Youyou is raising water lilies?"

"Yes, it is raised by the small pond in the garden."

Qi Lian pushed his eldest brother and said, "Brother, you didn't see it either. Go and have a look."

At the other end, Yueying's eyes also fell on Zhao Qianqian. She asked Lu in a low voice, "Is this Miss Zhao very close to Youyou?"

“Excellent.”

Lu's mouth has been smiling since she opened her eyes today. "This girl is lively and kind-hearted. She is a good girl."

It has nothing to do with Yueying’s concern for Zhao Qianqian. It’s just that whenever her youngest son goes back, the person he talks about is either Youyou or her.

Youyou is a capable person. If she is anything like him, she will definitely be an excellent girl.

She couldn't help laughing, "It seems my taciturn son has finally come to his senses."

As a mother, she knew her son's personality best. He seemed polite to everyone, but few people could really catch his eye.

Judging from his expression, he is obviously interested in the girl as well.

Bai Youyou mentioned this to Lu, and Lu also smiled and joked: "It won't be long before I go to your house for the wedding banquet."

Yueying smiled, her eyes fixed on the backs of Qi Yue and Zhao Qianqian as they walked away side by side.

Bai Zhenzhen's face was gloomy. She told Huang Shanshan that she felt sick in her stomach, then left quickly with her maid.

The direction they left was exactly the same direction Qi Yue and Zhao Qianqian had just left.

Huang Shanshan raised her eyebrows slightly and continued the conversation with Bai Luochuan.

"Jia Yuan will return to the capital in two days. He is not very good at studying, so I hope you can give him some advice by then."

The faint fragrance of his daughter entered his nose, and Bai Luochuan's earlobes turned pink. He smiled modestly and said, "I am just a scholar now, how can I guide my cousin Jiayuan's studies? Thank you for your kindness, cousin."

"Cousin, don't belittle yourself. It's rare for you to pass the imperial examination at your age. Moreover, you are Mr. Xu's student. Mr. Xu was the top three scholar in the imperial examination. With his famous teacher, it's only a matter of time for you to pass the imperial examination. If Jiayuan can get your guidance, I'm sure his academic performance will improve."

Huang Shanshan's flattering words made Bai Luochuan's back straighten up a little.

He lived in the academy these days and studied with the teacher. According to Uncle Xu's instructions, he wrote down what he didn't understand in a notebook, and went to Jingzhao Prefecture to ask him when he had time.

Ever since he started teaching him academically, the teacher said that in two years, he would be able to pass the imperial examination and become a juren.

"If you are willing, cousin Jiayuan, you can come to the academy to find me."

"Thank you very much, cousin."

Huang Shanshan thanked him softly and when she turned around her eyes met the Third Prince's.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment, she smiled slightly, and looked away naturally.

the other side.

Bai Zhenzhen walked quickly towards the back garden and saw Qi Yue and Zhao Qianqian standing by the water lily pond, talking and smiling sweetly.

She gritted her teeth, her jealousy growing stronger.

The water lilies in the pond were sent by Qiu Wanchun. Bai Youyou had someone take care of them. Even at this early winter day, they are still as green as spring.

Bai Zhenzhen looked at the water in the pond, her eyes twinkling. She walked closer and said with a smile, "Sister Youyou, your water lilies are really well taken care of."

Qi Yue and Zhao Qianqian turned to look at her at the same time, and then they ignored her tacitly.

Bai Zhenzhen's smile froze on her face, and her teeth were almost broken.

"what!!"

A scream was heard along with the sound of someone falling into the water, and Qi Yue and Zhao Qianqian looked over again.

"Ah! My young lady has fallen into the water, Mr. Qi, please save my young lady!"

Bai Zhenzhen's maid was so anxious that she jumped up and down on the shore.

Bai Zhenzhen was struggling in the water, and Qi Yue immediately jumped into the water to save her when he saw her.

Zhao Qianqian quickly pulled him back, "Men and women shouldn't touch each other, I'll do it!"

Bai Zhenzhen can't swim, and this time, in order to get on with Qi Yue, she choked on water several times.

She saw someone holding her waist and thought it was Qi Yue, and her whole body wrapped around him like an octopus.

"Duke Qi——"

As soon as she opened her eyes, she met Zhao Qianqian's half-smiley eyes. She couldn't control her expression and suddenly turned cold, "Why is it you?"

"It's not me, do you think it's Master Qi?"

Zhao Qianqian looked down at her body pressed against hers, and said jokingly, "Miss Bai's body is really soft."

Bai Zhenzhen's face turned red and she pushed Zhao Qianqian away angrily.

Unfortunately, she couldn't swim, so she sank to the bottom of the water and gulped down two mouthfuls of ice water.

Zhao Qianqian floated on the water, and only pulled her up when she sank to the bottom.

"Is it worth risking your life for a man?"

The icy water is freezing, she muttered, and took Bai Zhenzhen, who was still coughing violently, to the shore.

Just at this moment, Bai Youyou and Qilian came over. Seeing this scene, Bai Youyou quickly asked Xiaoju to bring the cloak over.

"Why did you fall into the water?"

Zhao Qianqian was shivering from the cold. She rubbed her arms and glanced at Qi Yue who looked worried. She said in a trembling voice, "When flowers bloom, butterflies will come."

Bai Youyou was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized that she was saying that Qi Yue was a hottie.

She sneered, "Bai Zhenzhen, did you do this on purpose because you saw my cousin Qi Yue was here?"

Bai Zhenzhen's face turned pale and she was about to refute.

Qi Lian echoed with a look of sarcasm: "Tsk tsk tsk, you jumped into the water on purpose, did you want my elder brother to save you, and then you want my elder brother to marry you on the grounds that you have lost your innocence? This is not a smart move."

"No, I fell down accidentally, stop talking nonsense!"

This was Bai Zhenzhen's original intention, but she was exposed to shame and indignation on the spot.

She stood up from the ground trembling, pushed Qi Lian away, covered her face and ran away.
