After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Chapter 56: Flower Viewing Banquet at the Princess's Residence

Ye Qingyu patted her hands and said nothing more.

Second Aunt and Mrs. Xu were discussing the candidates for the wedding.

"I think the second son of the Cao family and the eldest son of the Liu family are both good, but we still need to see their character."

Xu said, "The eldest son of the Liu family is good, but Qingya, as a clan wife, has too many things to worry about. I think the second son of the Cao family is more suitable. The second son doesn't have to inherit the family business, nor does he have to worry about so many things. He can just live his own life in peace and leisure."

Second Aunt nodded in agreement. "I've also taken a fancy to the Cao family. I've asked someone to inquire about it. Although this child is not good at studying, he has already served in the patrol camp, which is considered an official position. He also has no concubines at home."

Xu also nodded in agreement, "Well, it seems that the Cao family is a good choice."

Ye Qingyu suddenly spoke up, "Second Aunt, I once saw this Second Young Master Cao having an intimate relationship with a woman. I don't know what their relationship is. You should ask someone to investigate thoroughly."

Second Aunt and Madam Xu were surprised that Ye Qingyu would interrupt. They were both stunned. "Qingyu, how did you get to know Second Young Master Cao?"

Ye Qingyu smiled faintly, "During my grandmother's birthday banquet, everyone in our mansion except those from Wanyan Pavilion was arrested and taken to the government office. I went there often to ask questions, so I recognized some of them."

Second Aunt and Madam Xu understood.

Since Ye Qingyu could say such words, their relationship should not be ordinary. It seems that the second young master Cao is not as clean as the rumors say.

Ye Qingya looked a little embarrassed, with a hint of disgust in her eyes. She didn't have a good impression of the Second Young Master Cao.

Second Aunt frowned and said, "Well, it seems we need to investigate carefully."

"The Grand Princess, the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince, and Princess Yongjia have arrived."

Everyone quickly stood up and saluted.

"Greetings to the Grand Princess, the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince, and Princess Yongjia."

The Grand Princess smiled and said, "No need to bow."

"The flowers in my garden are in full bloom. Ladies and young ladies, please come and enjoy them."

"Thank you, Grand Princess, for thinking of us despite this beautiful scenery."

The eldest princess smiled and said, "I am so happy that you can come and accompany me and make this garden lively."

"Who is this person next to Madam Gu San?"

Xu quickly stood up and said, "This is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Qingyuan. Qingyu, please come meet the Grand Princess."

Ye Qingyu bowed dignifiedly, "Your humble servant greets the Grand Princess."

The eldest princess's smile remained unchanged, but a gleam of light flashed in her eyes. "Oh, it's Miss Ye. You are indeed very beautiful. Your mother was a famous talented woman in her time."

Ye Qingyu had the illusion that the Grand Princess looked at her with a hint of coldness. "Thank you, Your Highness, the Grand Princess. I am unworthy of this honor."

The eldest princess smiled and said, "Sit down."

"Let's go to the garden to look at the flowers. Yongjia, you can take the ladies for a stroll."

Ye Qingyu and Ye Qingya followed Princess Yongjia to the Grand Princess's garden.

In the garden, young men from various families were enjoying the flowers and reciting poems. When they saw the young ladies coming, they all seemed a little restrained.

Princess Yongjia saw the Fourth and Fifth Princes in the pavilion and quickly walked over. "Fourth cousin, Fifth cousin, do you think the scenery here pleases your Highnesses?"

Shen Mingxiu smiled warmly, "Cousin, that's not the case. This place is full of colorful flowers, birds singing and flowers blooming. It's really a beautiful scenery."

The fifth prince Shen Junyi said proudly, "It's okay, but the garden is a little small."

Princess Yongjia laughed sweetly and said, "Of course it's not as big as the Imperial Garden. Fifth cousin really knows how to joke."

Shen Junyi looked at the ladies behind Princess Yongjia and his sight fell on Ye Qingyu.

He walked out of the pavilion slowly and came to Ye Qingyu. "Miss Ye, long time no see."

Ye Qingyu quickly bowed and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince."

Shen Junyi smiled and said, "We have known each other since childhood, no need to be polite."

Shen Mingxiu walked over with a humble and gentle smile, "Miss Ye, how have you been recently?" His words were kind, as if the two of them were very familiar with each other.

Ye Qingyu's voice was as calm as water, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am doing well."

Shen Mingxiu smiled even more gently, "I heard Huaizhi passed the imperial examination and I've always wanted to go congratulate him, but I never had the time."

Shen Junyi interrupted, "Yes, I'm still studying with your cousin in the Imperial Study. It's been quite a while since I've seen him. He's been at home preparing for the imperial examinations all day."

Ye Qingyu smiled calmly and politely, "Your Highness, my cousin has been preparing for the palace examination recently, and I haven't seen him for a long time."

Princess Yongjia came over with a smile, "As expected, Third Young Master Gu is very talented. He will definitely take first place in the palace examination and become the top scholar."

Shen Junyi pondered for a moment, as if he had thought of something. "If he gets the top spot again, will it be the third place? Gu San is still quite capable."

Ye Qingyu smiled and said, "With the Fifth Prince's auspicious words, my cousin will definitely do his best."

"Fourth brother, fifth brother, you two are here, it's easier for me to find you."

A clear and joyful voice sounded, and everyone looked over to see Shen Junchen walking over with a group of young masters.

"Come on, let's go, there's a racetrack at my aunt's place. Let's go and have a horse race. Why are we just looking at flowers here? It's so effeminate."

Shen Mingxiu frowned and sighed softly, "Junchen, there are quite a few ladies here, please be careful."

Shen Junchen didn't care at all. He smiled and bowed, saying, "I made a mistake. Please forgive me, ladies."

"Fourth brother, fifth brother is gone, horse racing is so much fun."

Shen Mingxiu smiled helplessly and said to Ye Qingyu, "Miss Ye, I'm sorry to leave you."

Ye Qingyu's expression was indifferent, "Goodbye, Fourth Prince."

A group of people were called away by Shen Junchen, leaving only the young lady to stroll around the garden.

Princess Yongjia looked a little surprised, "Everyone, I have to excuse myself for a moment."

Ye Qingyu looked at Princess Yongjia who was leaving, and always felt that she glanced at her vaguely when she left.

Thinking about how Shen Mingxiu and Shen Junyi had just spoken to her, she couldn't help but feel annoyed. It seemed that Princess Yongjia hated her.

She remembered that in her previous life, Princess Yongjia married Shen Junyi and became the consort of the fifth prince. Judging from Shen Junyi's performance today, it seemed that he had feelings for her.

In her previous life, she only had eyes for Shen Mingxiu, and she prayed to her grandfather and the emperor to grant her marriage, and only then did she marry him. She really didn't know that Shen Junyi also had intentions towards her. It seemed that they both had their eyes on the military power of the Duke's Mansion.

The inner courtyard of the Princess's Mansion.

Princess Yongjia walked into the Grand Princess's room with an ugly look on her face and sat down angrily.

The eldest princess was rubbing her eyebrows, looking worried and unhappy.

"What's wrong?" She rarely saw her daughter so angry.

"My fourth cousin and fifth cousin are both interested in Ye Qingyu and have set their eyes on her." Yongjia's face was full of anger, and there was a rare hostility in his eyes.

The eldest princess's brows furrowed even tighter. "Ye Qingyu? That vixen, she's indeed the daughter of that bitch Gu Qingshuang. Her ability to seduce people is no less than that vixen mother's!"
