Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Things in the world are like flowing water, life is just a dream!

Unconsciously, Xie Qingli read out the two lines of poetry that Lu Li said in her dream. Just as she was stunned, a young man's cheering voice came from outside the garden wall.

"I admire your elegance and grace. Forgive me for being so presumptuous, but may I ask your name?" the man asked anxiously outside the courtyard wall.

This scoundrel is so shameless, not only eavesdropping on their conversation, but also asking for the lady's name?!

Leng Shuang's expression was stern, her lips pressed into a line. She clenched her fists and was about to fly over the wall to teach the scum outside a lesson, but Xie Qingli reached out to stop her.

Xie Qingli pointed the way and signaled Leng Shuang to hurry up.

The two of them stopped talking and quickly crossed the arch bridge. Behind the arch bridge appeared a winding path, which ended in a cave. After passing through the cave, the two of them arrived at the lake again.

Xie Qingli looked back and suddenly realized that this lake was actually a living water lake. The builders cleverly brought river water into the lake and made it flow out from under the rockery. The structure was very ingenious.

Not far away, two cruise boats had slowly crossed the center of the lake and were heading towards the pier on the opposite bank.

Xie Qingli was worried about Princess Fu'an, so she hurried along the lakeside path towards the dock. When they arrived, the boat Princess Fu'an was on had already docked, and she was getting off the boat with the help of Nong Ying and Cai Yun.

Seeing that Princess Fu'an was safe and sound, Xie Qingli breathed a sigh of relief.

Princess Fu'an saw Xie Qingli, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. She asked in surprise, "Sister Li'er, how can you be so fast? Can you fly?"

Xie Qingli's face stiffened slightly, and she said softly, "When I was in the countryside, I often went up the mountains and worked in the fields, and I developed the skill of being able to run as fast as flying..."

Suddenly, two maids came quickly from a distance. They bowed to Princess Fu'an and said, "Your Highness, ladies, the banquet will begin soon. Please follow me to the banquet hall!"

Princess Fu'an no longer worried about Xie Qingli's fast pace, and walked towards the banquet hall with a group of noble ladies, chattering.

On the other side, the man outside the wall did not hear the response from the girl inside the wall, so he climbed up the big tree beside the wall and climbed up the courtyard wall clumsily.

This person is none other than the second prince Chu Yunzhou, who is held in the palm of Queen Meng's hand and protected!

He had come to the banquet with the Third and Fifth Princes. Before the banquet began, the male guests were all in the outer courtyard. The young men gathered together, either commenting on the latest courtesan from a brothel or chatting about petty matters. He felt bored, so he wandered out alone.

When he reached the outer wall of the garden, he suddenly heard a clear and pleasant female voice from inside the wall, reciting two profound and beautiful lines of poetry.

The second prince's only hobby in his life was poetry. He was immediately ecstatic and felt like he had found a treasure. He became deeply curious about the girl inside the wall. What had she experienced that allowed her to recite such profound and vicissitudes of life?

The second prince couldn't wait to ask, but there was no sound from inside the wall. He struggled to climb to the top of the wall, but only saw a graceful lavender figure disappear into the cave of the rockery.

The second prince sat blankly on the courtyard wall, feeling lost. After half a cup of tea, he wanted to get down from the wall, but found that he could not do it no matter what.

Just as he was scratching his head in anxiety, the third prince was already getting closer with a group of young masters.

As he approached, the Third Prince seemed to have accidentally spotted the Second Prince on the wall. He exclaimed in surprise, "Second brother, why are you on the wall? Come down quickly. We are all grown up and can no longer be as naughty as we were when we were little. Otherwise, if anything happens to Second Brother, Mother will be heartbroken!"

The second prince's face flushed red in an instant, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into. He knew that his third brother was deliberately embarrassing him, and he also knew what his third brother was thinking. He said caring words, but in his heart he wished he would fall to death!

But he really couldn't get down from the wall! He could only suffer in agony under the disdainful gazes of the crowd.

Fortunately, the second prince's servant was clever and quickly brought a ladder. Holding the ladder, the second prince slowly climbed down the wall, finally ending the torture.

But just as he stood still, a steward came running over and said, "Your Highness the Second Prince, Your Highness the Third Prince, gentlemen, the banquet will begin shortly. Please follow me to the banquet hall!"

……

The Juyuan banquet hall was spacious and magnificent, its floor covered in a vibrant red carpet embroidered with various chrysanthemum designs. Numerous tables were neatly arranged on either side, laden with exquisite tableware and delicacies. The entire hall was adorned with precious chrysanthemums in a variety of colors, their fragrance filling the air.

Except for the royal family, the other guests have already taken their seats, with men and women sitting on both sides.

The girls from the Jing'an Marquis's residence were seated at the very end of the table for the female guests. As soon as Xie Qingli entered, he saw Xie Qingyao and the others already seated in pairs, leaving only the last table, which was blocked by the door.

Xie Qingli's face was calm as she calmly sat down behind the desk. She had a table to herself and could observe everyone without restraint under the cover of the door. It was an unparalleled good position!

Xie Qingrong saw Xie Qingli and called out softly across Xie Qingman, "Big sister, Rong'er wants to move over and sit at the same table with you!"

Xie Qingman, however, grabbed Xie Qingrong and begged, "Third... Fourth sister, Man'er is scared, please don't leave!"

Xie Qingli shook his head slightly. Just as Xie Qingrong was about to say something else, the noisy banquet hall suddenly fell silent.

A eunuch shouted in a shrill voice: "Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived, the Consort of Prince Zhong has arrived, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince has arrived..."

The royal family attending the banquet slowly entered, and the guests hurriedly knelt to pay their respects. The eldest princess and the wife of Prince Zhong led the princes and princesses to take their seats one by one.

Since entering the room, the Second Prince has been looking at the female guests frequently. Although he saw several ladies in purple, none of them was the one he met in the garden. He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. Could it be that she was not a guest at the banquet?

Princess Roujia had changed into a light green long dress with light blue peonies embroidered on the cuffs and a few auspicious clouds outlined with silver thread. She wore a plain satin ribbon around her waist, and her hair was tied in a fairy bun with a red gold peony flower hairpin inlaid with agate beads inserted diagonally. She wore a red gold and glass necklace around her neck, and the necklace was adorned with a piece of smooth, delicate, crystal clear jade.

Princess Roujia suddenly stopped wearing the red dress, which made everyone a little uncomfortable. If this outfit was worn by other women, it would definitely look elegant and refined, but on her, it made her unremarkable facial features look even more dull.

She looked at several of her cousin princes, but didn't see Chu Yuncang. She felt a little discouraged. Her cousin prince had been avoiding her. Could it be that he didn't like her?

No, there must be another reason. She glanced coldly at Princess Fu'an, then looked in the direction of the female guest. It was all Fu'an and that Xie Qingli who were causing trouble!
