Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy
Chapter 153 Like a Bluebird
The autumn sun is mellow and soft, the golden rice sways gracefully, and the fiery red maple leaves decorate the mountains.
The two young men were like birds just out of a cage, riding on their horses, chasing and playing freely in the fields, with high spirits and endless laughter.
Not far away, a plain carriage followed closely.
Han Jue, wearing an ordinary-looking human skin mask, skillfully whipped the whip and drove the car, his eyes closely following the person riding the horse in front of him, his eyes full of resentment and lingering.
Leng Shuang sat beside Han Jue. Her whole body was tense and she looked around sharply, not daring to miss any movement.
Inside the carriage, Princess Fu'an's maid, Caiyun, drew aside the curtains and gazed curiously at the golden fields. Nongying sat upright inside, her brows slightly furrowed. Miss Xie had suddenly changed carriages with the princess and taken this country road. This must have been more than just a horseback ride. Did she sense danger?
A winding stream, like a silver ribbon sparkling with starlight, suddenly came into everyone's sight.
Princess Fu'an took the lead and galloped to the stream. She suddenly pulled the reins, and the horse raised its front hooves slightly in dissatisfaction, causing Princess Fu'an to let out a crisp and pleasant laugh.
She turned to look at Xie Qingli and chuckled, "Sister Li'er, I used to only occasionally ride a few laps on horseback in the stables, or ride slowly for a while under the protection of the Royal Guards while hunting. I never knew that galloping freely in the wild could be so refreshing!"
She reached out and touched the mask on her face, and said happily, "And this mask that sister Li'er gave me is so exquisite, it's almost indistinguishable from the real thing. With this mask, I can go out and play freely!"
Xie Qingli also touched the mask on his face, curled his lips slightly and said, "I'm not very skilled in this art, so the mask I made is barely usable. Princess, you're too kind!"
She pointed to the stream in front of her and said softly, "Cross this stream and go around the valley ahead, and you'll find the Chrysanthemum Garden. Although we've taken a detour, horses are fast, so we shouldn't be late."
Princess Fu'an nodded slightly. Happy times are always fleeting. She sighed softly, jumped off the horse lightly, and went to the carriage with Xie Qingli to change her clothes.
……
Although Juyuan is not as magnificent as Wangyue Villa, the grandeur of the royal villa can be seen from the towering and imposing gate and the lifelike, majestic and solemn stone lions.
At this time, the entrance was already crowded with people and carriages, and the air was filled with gorgeous clothes and fragrance. The distinguished guests got off the carriages, exchanged greetings in groups of three or four, and walked into the gate hand in hand.
When Xie Qingli and Princess Fu'an's plain carriage arrived, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. They secretly complained in their hearts that servants with a little status in the family would not ride in a carriage of this grade. Who were the people coming?
Nong Ying and Cai Yun were the first to get off the carriage. They opened the curtains and after Xie Qingli got off slowly, they carefully helped Princess Fu'an get off.
Everyone was first met by a strange woman with a graceful figure and a beautiful appearance. They were even more confused. Then, when they saw Princess Fu'an get off the carriage, their jaws dropped. Why would a princess ride in such a carriage?!
Everyone hurriedly paid their respects to Princess Fu'an. Princess Fu'an greeted them with a smile, then took Xie Qingli inside, leaving everyone wondering who the woman riding with Princess Fu'an was.
In the flower hall, a group of unmarried young girls gathered together, chattering and making a lively scene. As soon as Princess Fu'an entered, the noble ladies immediately surrounded her and pushed Xie Qingli aside.
Xie Qingli was not angry. She stood aside silently and looked around quietly.
Several girls from the Marquis' Mansion had already arrived. They were sitting in the corner of the house. Except for Xie Qingyao who kept looking at the noble ladies, the other three looked panicked and out of tune with everything around them.
Leng Shuang hurried in. She stood beside Xie Qingli and said in a very low voice, "Miss, I've inquired and the princess' carriage hasn't arrived yet."
Xie Qingli frowned slightly. Princess Fu'an's carriage took the main road as originally planned, so it should have arrived earlier. Could it be that she guessed right and there was an ambush along the way?
When Xie Qingrong looked up, she suddenly caught sight of Xie Qingli's figure. As if she had found her backbone in an instant, she bravely left her seat, quietly moved to Xie Qingli's side, grabbed her arm, and said in a trembling voice, "Big sister, why did you come so late?"
Xie Qingli turned to look at Xie Qingrong. Seeing that she looked like a frightened deer, his heart softened and he said softly, "Something has delayed us. Let's go sit over there."
"Princess Roujia is here!" Someone shouted, and everyone's eyes turned to the door.
Princess Roujia was still wearing a red dress, eye-catching and passionate. With a calm face and a defiant look, she walked quickly into the flower hall, followed by a girl in a blue dress. It was none other than Feng Yingying, the eldest daughter of the Feng family, the Minister of Revenue.
Finally seeing an acquaintance, Xie Qingyao hurriedly stood up and walked quickly towards the center.
Seeing Princess Fu'an surrounded by noble ladies like a star, Princess Roujia was slightly stunned. Thinking of the injustice she suffered in the imperial study that day, she was filled with anger and said in a cold voice, "How dare you come?"
Princess Fu'an, still smiling, said softly, "I come to this chrysanthemum viewing banquet every year. Why don't I dare come this year? Why do you ask this, cousin?"
"You!" Princess Roujia was speechless. She could not and dared not reveal the conflict between them in front of everyone. The royal family valued face the most, and they always had to appear to be brothers and sisters in front of outsiders, but at this moment she really wanted to whip Fu'an a few more times!
Everyone finally noticed the tension between the two. Both sides were people who were not easy to offend, so it was best to protect themselves. The noble ladies surrounding Princess Fu'an dispersed in an instant, leaving only two or three standing beside her.
At this time, Xie Qingyao finally squeezed next to Feng Yingying. She bowed slightly and said softly, "Miss Feng, best wishes for your well-being!"
Feng Yingying turned to look at Xie Qingyao, wondering who this person was. She wasn't very smart to begin with, and after searching her mind for a long time, she couldn't remember which family this noble lady belonged to, so she asked, "Who are you?"
Xie Qingyao blushed with embarrassment. Feng Yingying had actually forgotten about her, so she could only whisper, "Miss Feng, I'm Xie Qingyao from the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion. You invited me to your mansion for a flower viewing banquet in May."
"Oh~" Feng Yingying acted as if she had suddenly realized something, but in fact she had no idea who this person was, and she didn't seem to have heard much about Jing'an Marquis Mansion!
The two of them were talking loudly, which had already attracted everyone's attention.
Princess Roujia was in a bad mood when she turned around and saw a stunning beauty. With her high bun, gorgeous clothes, graceful figure, and bright features, she looked as if she was the host of the banquet. Even in her dazzling red dress, she was still outshined by her.
Princess Roujia's anger grew even stronger. She looked at Feng Yingying, who was not very smart, and suddenly asked in a cold voice, "Yingying, who is this person? How dare she wear the same clothes as you? Standing next to her, you look like a bluebird..."
