Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Next to the main seat,

After Consort Tong introduced their respective family backgrounds, she recounted Gu Xinyan's merits to Li Wanran.

"Xinyan is a good person, pitiful but without any complaints in her heart, full of gratitude."

"Such a good girl is hard to come by. Although I cherish her dearly and would like to keep her by my side, firstly, I do not want to think only of myself and the matter of Miss Xia being my study companion. Secondly, it is also to fulfill Xiao Yan's own wishes and hope that she can study hard."

"..."

Consort Tong spoke with heartfelt sincerity. She was indeed a cautious person, and it wasn't that she hadn't had the opportunity to adopt a girl over the years.

But they resolutely refused to compromise.

Whenever I have a disagreement with that person, I always tell myself not to be a show-off.

Nowadays, one should be even more cautious in such situations and carefully select a study companion. However, she still took the initiative to express her feelings to Li Wanran, proving that she was truly touched by the female lead and felt a surge of passion.

All eyes were on Li Wanran, and no one paid any attention to Xia Youmi beyond greeting her.

The glamorous empress dowager's expression gradually turned cold, and she released a full sense of oppression.

They went towards the female lead who was gazing longingly at her.

Consort Tong suppressed her protective instincts. She knew very well that this was just a test, and as long as Gu Xinyan could hold on, there was hope.

In the beginning,

Gu Xinyan was met with a suddenly terrifying expression.

Tears were already welling up in my eyes.

It was only when Gu Xin'e suddenly spoke up and started talking to Xia Youmi about the flowers in the garden that her attention was diverted, giving her time to adjust her emotions.

With her cousin shielding her, Gu Xinyan quickly understood what was happening, even though her tears were still wet.

But he already had an endearingly brave and determined expression.

He stubbornly looked up and met Li Wanran's gaze.

quickly,

Noticing the change, Li Wanran smiled, her smile as radiant and dazzling as a peony in its first bloom.

Consort Tong breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Gu Xinyan with even more affection.

Gu Xinyan's performance was also just right.

They are both naive and calm in the face of adversity.

If the elders were to choose the candidates, even with an additional three hundred hurdles, Gu Xinyan would still be able to pass.

Unfortunately, Xia Youmi didn't give him that chance.

If the male and female protagonists are to be openly and legitimately united too early.

simply,

You're just making things difficult for yourself for no reason.

On the other side, Li Wanran did not express her opinion, but smiled gently at them, and then asked Consort Tong to take the people away to rest.

No matter how outstanding a girl is, it's meaningless if she can't win Mi'er's favor.

These people probably don't understand.

This party was merely a selection of playmates.

That's right, they were selecting princesses and imperial concubines.

Xia Youmi was deeply grateful to the elders who did not cause any trouble.

Her parents respected her very much.

To perfect the next little plan, Xia Youmi got up and took the initiative.

With Hongxiao and Lüqi by her side, they arrived at another corner of the banquet.

Most of the people here don't like crowds; they don't have acquaintances to introduce them, and they don't want to give up easily, so they leave early.

previously,

Every year when he surveyed the scene, he noticed that some people were looking at Xia Youmi.

With seriousness and thought.

then,

I chose to fill my stomach first.

The dishes at today's banquet were indeed beautifully presented, and the taste was also well taken into consideration. Eating them at this time of year and on this occasion, they were not lacking in flavor at all.

A gentle breeze carries the faint fragrance of flowers, adding another layer of olfactory enjoyment.

In this undisturbed corner, one can indulge in the refined pleasures of a scholar.

"Miss, would you like some writing brush and ink?"

"No problem, I can keep it with a silk handkerchief as well."

The master and servant were talking quietly, unaware that Xia Youmi was gradually approaching.

Along the way,

Out of consideration for social etiquette and image, most of the food at the banquet was only slightly damaged.

Although it is common sense,

However, the style and portion size of today's dim sum have been carefully considered and are now palatable.

The guests had been there for quite some time, and Li Wanran led the way in enjoying the food, conveying the message that there was no need to be reserved.

All of this, yet maintaining absolute restraint, seems overly cautious.

It's not suitable for me to take risks with Xia Youmi.

"Would you like to try this peony roll? Paired with this white peony tea, it has a mellow taste and brings out even more flavor." Wang Yuhuan saw Xia Youmi approaching, but she was just staring at the table. Recalling the food that the Empress Dowager had fed her earlier, it seemed that this peony roll was not among them.

He then generously introduced the outfits to Xia Youmi and recommended the combinations she had tried.

It was like an invitation to make friends.

Xia Youmi picked up a peony roll, surprised by Wang Yuhuan's thoughtfulness; this pastry was indeed not on the main table. Because no matter which world she was in, she disliked overly dry food.

If she had a choice, she definitely wouldn't eat it. Li Wanran was aware of this little habit, so she didn't serve it to her.

The pastry in her hand was very light, and Wang Yuhuan had already poured the tea and was looking at her expectantly.

Xia Youmi didn't hesitate for long and began to savor it.

"The fragrance is rich, and the texture is crumbly!" Xia Youmi suddenly felt a sense of surprise and delight.

"Quickly, have a sip of tea!" Wang Yuhuan personally served white tea.

"Wow, the flavor is even more delicate and refined, even better than enjoying these two on their own. You have such good taste!" Xia Youmi praised generously, feeling as if she were surrounded by the sweet and beautiful flowers.

"Haha, it's all thanks to the skill of the palace chefs!" Wang Yuhuan said modestly, but her expression clearly showed that she was very pleased with the sincere praise.

They then shared their tasting notes on several other desserts.

When Xia Youmi left, they both had satisfied smiles on their faces.

"Miss, why don't you ask about the matter of the noble lady choosing a study companion?" Wang Yuhuan's maid was a little confused. Such a good opportunity, it wouldn't be too much for her mistress to bring it up, would it?

"Hehe, how do you know I didn't ask?"

“This, weren’t you discussing cooking with Miss Xia? These are principles you learned from eating at home with your mistress. How did it involve the matter of a study companion? Perhaps Miss Xia is also a foodie…” The maid quickly reassured herself that Wang Yuhuan was a year younger than Xia Youmi, so logically they wouldn’t have much to talk about regarding food.

But her mother loved to eat and wouldn't miss any opportunity to teach her.

That's why we're having such a good time talking today.

Wang Yuhuan's grandfather was a Grand Tutor and once enjoyed immense prestige. However, he was unfortunately drawn into the struggle for the throne and chose the wrong side.

The Wang family was left with only female members to support them.

Everyone knows their family is capable of stepping on things, but they also genuinely admire their family's profound knowledge and cultural background.

Only then could Wang Yuhuan grow up.

She was a true book lover, and upon learning about the selection of a reading companion, she set her sights on the educational resources and book collection of the highest authority.

among them,

Many of these works were compiled and organized by their ancestors, but as time passed and their grandfathers and fathers passed away, they were forgotten and shelved.

Wang Yuhuan and her mother did not want to miss this opportunity.

It's not just about bringing glory to the family. More importantly, it's about ensuring that the legacy accumulated by our ancestors can be passed down.

The idler said that the Wang family had died out, so naturally they no longer had the right to own a collection of books.

Can,

Mother did everything she could to preserve those things, and led her to absorb them with all her might, not to admit defeat.

After talking with Miss Xia, she became even more certain that the trip had not been in vain.

Maybe,

It can really help her prove herself and protect the Wang family's assets.

"Mi'er, how is it?"

"Your Majesty, three individuals have been selected. Let me tell you about them..."

"Why her?"
