It's better to imagine a boyfriend than to attack the villain

As everyone expected, the coming-of-age banquet for the young master of the Liu family arrived as scheduled.

Countless guests came to congratulate him, and the gifts piled up like a mountain. Those who had daughters secretly tried to sound out the situation with Mrs. Liu Kangya, while those who had sons brought them out to befriend Liu Zhi.

Although the sons of merchants do not enter officialdom, the Liu family's assets are enough to make many wealthy families envious. Whether it is marriage or friendship between young masters, there are benefits and no disadvantages.

After coming of age, Liu Zhi was given the name "Huaqiao" by his elders, which was taken from Liu Yong's poem "Looking at the Sea Tide": "Smoke willows and painted bridges, wind curtains and green curtains, and ten thousand houses scattered around." It has a beautiful meaning.

At this time, Liu Huaqiao was greeting guests with Liu Kang, also known as business socializing.

The three brothers of the Ye family followed the crowd into the house silently.

Chen Huyi is the face of Prince Duan's Mansion, so naturally he represents the entire Prince Duan's Mansion in sending blessings.

Liu Kang smiled broadly, "It is a blessing for my son that the Eleventh Prince has come all the way here."

He originally wanted to personally entertain Chen Huyi and others, but was rejected. Chen Huyi said that he could stay alone and let Liu Kang continue to be busy.

Liu Kang had no choice but to ask his servants to keep an eye on the three brothers and make sure they were treated well.

Chen Huyi let his two younger brothers go play, and then walked towards the courtyard accompanied by the servants arranged by Liu Kang.

Biluofei chirped in his ear, "Chen Yuyi, hurry up and meet your master. Otherwise, someone else will get there first and you'll have nowhere to cry."

The whole capital knew that the Liu family had a cousin, and the Liu family never hid it. They openly told the public that Yue Youyou was the eldest daughter of the Liu family and Liu Zhi's younger sister.

Although Yue Youyou is a homebody and doesn't like to go out, and many people have never seen her, she is quite famous. She is known for her beauty, knowledge, and gentleness... In short, many young men are interested in marrying her and are waiting for her to reach the age of 15.

Among today’s guests, there are rich ladies who came for Liu Zhilai, and there are also young men who came for Yue Youyou.

At this time, a rich young man blocked Yue Youyou's way.

Biluo stood in front of Yue Youyou and politely rejected the visitor, "Ms. Su's kindness is appreciated. Please move to the front courtyard."

Su Qu refused to give in. He waved a paper fan in one hand, smiling radiantly. In the other hand, he held a bright pink peony and put it to his nose, sniffing it hard.

"Peony is the king of flowers, and it deserves to match Miss Yue's beauty and fragrance." Su Qu smiled brightly, but he stretched the peony flower in front of Yue Youyou without allowing it to be refused, as if he would not let her go unless she accepted it.

Yue Youyou was growing increasingly impatient. Firstly, Su Qu was always pestering her and acting like a playboy; she really didn't want to have any further contact with him. Secondly, there was a very unpleasant aura about him, a subconscious unpleasantness.

There was no way she would accept the peonies this man gave her.

The man's purpose in giving flowers to a woman was obvious, not to mention that peonies represent love and are often used as tokens of affection. If she accepted them, it would be equivalent to accepting Su Qu's feelings, and she would be unable to argue.

So there was a stalemate.

And Chen Huyi finally arrived at Biluo's urging.

"That Su Qu has a dark aura left by Mingche. He was responsible for the tragedy of Ye Xingcai and Liu Huaqiao's first life. Now he's targeting the master. My lord, come on, be a hero and save the beauty!"

The corners of Chen Huyi's mouth twitched, and Biluo had already returned to her maid's vest.

Chen Yuyi did not go over immediately, but turned to the side of the pond and asked the servant who had been following him, "The water lilies in your mansion are quite good."

The servant replied respectfully, "Eleventh Prince, you are so kind! These were planted by the master and his wife themselves. My young lady loves this pond of water lilies the most."

"Oh?" Chen Yuyi squatted down and quietly looked at the newly opened water lilies on the water. "This flower is indeed beautiful. I wonder if this prince can ask for one?"

The servant hurriedly replied, "If the prince is happy, then of course it is possible." Liu Kang ordered to try his best to meet the requirements of the eleventh prince. It's just a water lily, not a big problem, and it can also make the prince happy.

Chen Huyi reached out and carefully picked a water lily without damaging the roots.

After carefully holding the water lily, Chen Huyi walked towards Yue Youyou.

The water lily he picked was similar in color to its original form.

Su Qu still held the peony flowers and stubbornly asked Yue Youyou to accept them.

No matter how good Yue Youyou's temper was, her face turned dark and she was about to explode with anger.

But the playboy in front of me has no tact at all.

"Compared to the bright and luxurious peony, Chen feels that the fresh and elegant water lily is more suitable for Miss Yue." Chen Huyi's voice was as reassuring as ever.

The anger in Yue Youyou's heart disappeared without a trace in an instant. She looked up in a daze at the beautiful young man who walked towards her step by step.

However, Biluo showed no hostility towards Su Qu and let Chen Huyi pass directly.

Yue Youyou's heart couldn't help but beat. The tips of the girl's ears turned slightly red. She was shy and nervous. She wanted to lower her head, but her eyes couldn't help but stick to Chen Huyi.

The man stared at her without saying a word, and the water lily in his hand silently moved forward a few centimeters.

Yue Youyou has long been attracted to Chen Huyi. This is a kind of soul attraction. No matter how many times they meet for the first time, they will involuntarily fall in love with each other.

Love at first sight, love lasts forever.

Although the girl is very shy, she can also be passionate and brave in front of the person she loves.

She took the water lily and held it in her arms lovingly. Her face flushed and she wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to speak.

Pink bubbles began to appear around the two of them, and Biluo quietly recorded this scene.

The atmosphere was so wonderful, but someone was blind and ruthlessly popped the pink bubble. With a very dissatisfied tone, they sneered, "I thought Miss Yue was different, but I didn't expect she would judge people by their appearance."

Su Qu was used to being a playboy and was pursued by countless women, but many of them rejected him because of his plain appearance.

Su Qu is not ugly, but he is not handsome either. He just has an ordinary young man's face. In modern terms, he has an internet celebrity face. He is carved out of the same mold, has no personal characteristics, and is not amazing enough.

Yue Youyou had long wanted to shake this man off, so she answered without hesitation: "Everyone loves beauty. Mr. Su, please forgive me for not being able to accept this peony. Please find another beauty."

Su Qu was unwilling to give in, but seeing Chen Huyi's warning look, he angrily threw the peony flowers away, stepped on one, turned around angrily, and strode away.

The servants were stunned when they saw Yue Youyou accept the water lily.

The prince gave flowers to his daughter, and she accepted them! She accepted them!

This, this, this... Master, mistress, and the eldest young master won't kill him if they know this, right?

But he didn't dare to stop it. He was a prince who was highly appreciated by the emperor, and the most beloved eldest daughter of the Liu family. He didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Huyi said, "My name is Chen Huyi. May I ask your name, young lady?"

"My name is Yue Youyou." Yue Youyou said with a smile, as if she didn't need to be polite at all when she was with Chen Huyi.

The two chatted for a while, and Biluo finally reminded, "Prince, Miss, the dinner has begun. Please move to the front yard."

After all, the two of them were unmarried, so they naturally had to avoid suspicion and did not go to the front yard together.

Yue Youyou and Biluo left first. Chen Huyi and the servants who had been waiting there waited for a quarter of an hour before heading to the front yard.

Yue Youyou went to find Madam Ya first. Madam Ya saw the water lily in her arms and the blush on her face that had not completely faded.

She immediately narrowed her eyes, pulled Yue Youyou aside, and jokingly asked, "Did Youyou meet someone you like?"

After hearing this, Yue Youyou's face turned red again and she nodded shyly.

"Do you know which young master this is?"

"The eleventh prince of Prince Duan's Mansion." Yue Youyou remembered that Chen Huyi had just introduced his identity.

"This..." Madam Ya was truly surprised. The Eleventh Prince was a man that many women of marriageable age flocked to, and he was of noble status, yet he was with Youyou...

Madam Ya touched Yue Youyou's blushing cheeks. The girl looked really pretty in her first love. Although Madam Ya was worried, she was also happy for her.

Forget it, love is hard to understand, just go with the flow.

She should spend more time to look into the situation of the two. If the Eleventh Prince is not worthy of trust, their Liu family will do everything they can to protect Yue Youyou.

The dinner began. Yue Youyou handed Water Lily to Biluo, and then attended with Madam Ya.
