In my previous life, I killed my whole family. In my next life, I killed the royal family.
Chapter 19 Blind Date Party
Yuan Zhaodi watched her sister running happily towards the third room and couldn't help but frown, her worry evident in her words.
She knew very well that her sister had lost her sense of right and wrong due to her mother's teachings. Now that she was influenced by her third aunt, she didn't know what she would become.
After this temporary stay at the Qi Mansion, Yuan Zhaodi clearly realized that the third room was the most unreliable. Before she could think about it, Pan Di ran back happily, with a happy expression on his face.
"Sister! My cousin is going to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow, and we have to go with her! We can meet a lot of important people then." Pan Di said excitedly.
Yuan Zhaodi was stunned for a moment, then responded softly, indicating that she understood.
Yuan Pandi happily rummaged through the boxes and drawers, looking for beautiful jewelry to wear tomorrow, preparing to wear the new clothes and skirt that her aunt had just sent.
The next morning, Qi Jiao was dressed in gold and silver, looking dazzling. She was looking out from the corridor leading to the second gate, expecting Yuan Pandidi to take the lead in going to the Senate to bring up the matter, and then the three of them would follow Qi Wan to visit the Prime Minister's residence.
The Third Madam said to Qi Jiao, "The people in the eldest house will refuse to take you to the Prime Minister's Mansion. It's not easy to refuse a cousin who is a guest. They will take the three of you together."
Qi Jiao was full of anticipation, her mind filled with thoughts of going to the Prime Minister's Mansion, showing off her abilities in front of others, and making friends with the ladies from wealthy families.
However, Qi Jiao waited until Qi Wan got on the carriage and left, but Yuan Panddi didn't come.
Qi Jiao didn't know what happened, and returned to Wufeng Courtyard angrily, cursing, "I will never talk to that bitch again."
Qi Wan was sitting in the carriage. Seeing Qi Jiao leaving in disappointment, Aunt Wu whispered, "The fourth young lady wanted to come along."
Qi Wan smiled and said, "Why would she come? Even if she got on the carriage, I would throw her off."
Wu Ma and Chun Yan laughed and whispered, "Miss, this is the best way."
What they like most is to see young ladies who have their own opinions and act in a strong manner so that they will not be taken advantage of or bullied.
Qi Wan gently lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked out curiously.
She saw the streets were crowded with people and busy with traffic, and it was very lively.
People come and go in an endless stream, walking, riding horses, or riding in carriages. Shops are lined up on both sides of the street, with flags flying and a dazzling array of goods. The bustling crowd is like a surging tide, flowing endlessly.
Qi Wan was attracted by the lively scene, and her heart was filled with relaxation and happiness.
Suddenly, she saw a man wearing a gorgeous blue brocade robe embroidered with a pattern of mangmang standing at the corner of the alley. He had an extraordinary demeanor and was surrounded by a team of guards with swords.
Qi Wan looked carefully and found that it was the beast in human clothing, the Third Prince.
She let down the curtain, her face turned gloomy, her body became stiff, and she wished she could let the carriage run over the guy to death immediately.
Qi Wan calmed down for a moment, turned around and ordered: "Auntie Wu, put on the veil for me."
"Miss, it's a bit too hot now. Why don't you wear it when you get off the car?" Aunt Wu suggested in a low voice.
It was summer now, and people felt stuffy inside the carriage, and wearing a hat would make it even hotter.
Mother Wu took the white veil hat in her hand and adjusted the white gauze around the brim, which was embroidered with small blue flowers and inlaid with small pearls.
"Put it on." Qi Wan sat up straight.
She didn't want to wear a veil when getting off the car and let that bitch see her face.
"Yes, miss." Auntie Wu carefully put the veil on the young lady and adjusted it.
Qi Wan let down the veil, covering her entire face.
The carriage soon arrived outside the Prime Minister's Mansion and stopped. Wu Ma and Chunyan got off first, put a bench aside, and stretched out their hands to help the young lady get off the carriage.
As Qi Wan stepped down and stood firm, the Third Prince's voice rang out from behind, "Madam Qi."
Pei and the eldest daughter-in-law were in the same car. When they saw the third prince coming, they bowed and said, "I greet His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
The third prince smiled and was about to step forward to continue asking questions.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law turned their heads at the same time to look at Qi Wan and saw that she was wearing a veil.
Pei cried out, "Awan, you feel dizzy, please walk slower." She walked quickly to her daughter's side.
"Sister, walk slower." Zheng also followed.
The three of them walked in side by side, and more than ten servants behind them supported them into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Prime Minister Pei's eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xie, came to the mansion with her maids and servants to welcome him.
"We stretched our necks so hard that we finally waited for you to come."
"Haha, we wanted to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion for breakfast when we woke up this morning."
"Hahaha, then you should come."
A large group of people walked into the inner courtyard, talking and laughing.
The third prince stood at the gate of the mansion for a while.
Upon hearing the news, the eldest young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion came out and invited him: "Your Highness, since you are passing by the Prime Minister's Mansion, why don't you come in and have a seat?"
"Your mansion has guests today. I will come another day." The third prince waved his hand.
He was very disappointed. He had originally thought that when Miss Qi got off the carriage, she would see him, take in his handsome appearance, and know that he was the third prince, she would definitely fall in love with him, and then things would be easy.
Unexpectedly, the Third Prince hadn't even seen Miss Qi's hair, let alone met her.
"I must conquer you and get you!" The third prince made a secret decision.
He is very confident in himself.
But he didn't know why Prime Minister Pei was so busy today.
If he knew that the Prime Minister's Mansion was holding a blind date party for Miss Qi today, he would definitely find a way to get in and ruin it.
A few days ago, Prime Minister Pei gave an order to his daughter-in-law and granddaughters-in-law, "You must find a young talent for A Yao within this year. Each of you must bring at least one unmarried man to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a blind date."
Among so many descendants of the Pei family, Prime Minister Pei loves Qi Wan the most.
This is because Qi Wan is the eldest granddaughter of his deceased sister and looks most like his sister, but she is not as strong-willed as her sister and her personality is a little weak.
The Qi family and the Pei family are closely related, so it is normal that Qi Wan looks like her grandmother.
Qi Wan's marriage has not been settled, which makes the Pei family very worried.
The prime minister felt that state affairs had never troubled him so much.
Qi Wan went to the garden with her cousins' wives. They boarded a small boat and started a pleasant cruise on the lake.
The lake is crystal clear, with sparkling water reflecting the white clouds in the sky. The lotus leaves in the lake are verdant and swaying in the wind, like a green ocean. Among the green leaves, there are some scattered lotus flowers, which can't wait to poke their heads out and bloom their beautiful flowers early. The pink and white petals complement each other, which is beautiful beyond words.
These beautiful lotus flowers attracted many butterflies and dragonflies, which shuttled between the lotus leaves and danced gracefully, as if dancing with the lotus flowers. Finally, they landed on the petals of the lotus flowers, and seemed to be intoxicated by the beautiful scenery.
Under the willow trees by the lake, there are more than ten exquisite tables for guests to enjoy the banquet. Here, you can enjoy the food while appreciating the beautiful scenery on the lake and feeling the charm of nature. Guests can see the lotus leaves gently rippling on the lake and the lotus flowers blooming, as if they are in a fairyland.
Such scenery makes people feel happy and relaxed. Qi Wan and her cousins enjoyed the tranquility and beauty on the boat.
Of course, while enjoying the beauty of the lake, the main thing is to watch the boats go by.
The cousins took off Qi Wan's hat, combed her hair, and put some rouge on her. Her skin looked white and rosy, just like the beautiful lotus flowers blooming in the lake.
The boat slowly moved around the shore.
The people on the shore saw Qi Wan's face clearly.
Qi Wan could also see the people on the shore clearly.
My cousin's wife, Mrs. Xie, pointed at a tall and strong man in a blue robe and introduced him in a low voice, "His name is Li Zhi, he is good at both literature and martial arts, he is eighteen years old, he is the son of the general's mansion, and the eldest son of the third wife."
Second cousin's wife, Tian, pointed to a pale-faced scholar in a moon-white robe and introduced him, "His name is Lu Gu, he's twenty years old, and he's the second son of Minister Lu of the Ministry of Works."
Third cousin's wife Zheng whispered, "We have selected candidates for my cousin, and these two are the best candidates."
Qi Wan bit her lip and smiled awkwardly, "Thank you, my cousins."
Fourth cousin-in-law, Yang, is the youngest. She is a new bride who has just been married into the Prime Minister’s Mansion for a year.
Yang smiled cheerfully and said, "My cousin is not in a hurry to settle on one person. Let's date them at the same time and choose the best one from them."
Several people were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
Qi Wan smiled. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were like autumn water, her figure was graceful, and her demeanor was dignified. She was as elegant and beautiful as a lotus fairy, which made people admire her.
All the young men who came to the shore for a blind date were secretly amazed after seeing Miss Qi's charm.
"It turns out that there are really beautiful women like fairies in this world."
They were thankful: "It's a good thing we came. We almost missed this blind date."
They were looking forward to it: "It would be great if Miss Qi took a fancy to us!"
Originally, these young talents were unwilling to come for a blind date. "I heard that Miss Qi has a soft personality, no opinions, and a big fortune. I won't go to see her."
They were persuaded by their own families, "Miss Qi is not as dumb as the rumors say. She is beautiful and capable, and has a large dowry. You should go and see her first before making a decision." These people showed up at the Prime Minister's Mansion today because they were afraid of offending a powerful official.
The young men who were going on blind dates were stunned when they first saw Miss Qi. Later, when they saw Miss Qi getting off the boat and being with the ladies, she spoke and acted gracefully and treated people with courtesy.
Only then did I realize that she was nothing like what the rumors said: beautiful but brainless and without any manners.
Someone couldn't wait to express his opinion to the several gentlemen from the Prime Minister's Mansion who were accompanying him, "I wonder if Miss Qi is interested in me."
Lu Gu fell in love with Qi Wan at first sight, "This is the person of my dreams."
He was very ashamed and had always been disdainful of Miss Qi.
I also commented with contempt: I didn’t expect that a noble family would produce an uneducated and brainless girl.
Among the twelve young men who came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, two were still studying in the academy. They were scholars without any official positions. They thought they were not worthy of Miss Qi and gave up regretfully.
The other ten said, "We'll ask a matchmaker to go to the Qi Mansion and ask Miss Qi for marriage."
