"Brother Xie, Brother Geng..." Xue Pingli greeted several young people politely after seeing them coming to his side.
"Brother Xue, why are you here alone? Why don't you go shopping with your friends?" asked Geng Hongyi, the third son of Duke An Guo. He glanced at the young ladies not far away and joked, "Is Brother Xue waiting for you?"
With the little lady you like?"
"Hongyi!" Xie Yufei interrupted Geng Hongyi, "Don't say nonsense like this that harms the reputation of this little lady."
Geng Hongyi also realized at this moment that he had made a mistake, and apologized to Xue Pinli embarrassedly, but he was still curious as to why he was here instead of playing with friends elsewhere.
"My sister was visiting the park with friends. I was worried about her safety, so I followed her to protect her." Xue Pingli said without changing his expression, using his sister as an excuse.
"Oh? Your pearl girl is here too?" Geng Hongyi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. The fierce young lady from Zhenyuan Hou Mansion is also here?
Geng Hongyi looked at the young ladies over there, and really found Xue Mingzhu, who was sitting very close to a somewhat shy young lady, and who seemed to have a good relationship with her.
Geng Hongyi looked at it and then asked, "Is the person sitting with your daughter Mingzhu the eighth princess?"
Geng Hongyi is the third son of Duke An Guo. He is a direct descendant and has been to the palace with his family members, so he has met several princesses in the palace.
Although he had only met the eighth princess Yan Long once or twice, because it hadn't been too long and Yan Long was good-looking, he still remembered her appearance, so after taking a closer look, he recognized that she should be
The eighth princess.
"Yes." Xue Ping nodded sharply.
"I didn't expect that your Miss Mingzhu would have such a close relationship with the eighth princess?" He was really surprised. He didn't expect that Xue Mingzhu, a shrewd little lady, could have such a good relationship with the aloof princess. It was really shocking.
.
"The Eighth Princess met Mingzhu when she and His Highness Prince Ning went out..." Xue Pingli briefly explained how his sister and Yan Long met, and then said no more.
After a few young men chatted for a while, they all encouraged Xie Yufei to invite his fiancée to visit the garden and enjoy the peach blossoms together.
This kind of time is of course a time for unmarried couples or couples to cultivate their relationship. Xie Yufei also came here knowing that Chu Mingluan would visit Taoyuan today, so now that he met her, he should invite her to go shopping together.

"Aluan, go ahead, let's play by ourselves." Chu Mingluan's little sisters looked at Chu Mingluan who was invited by her fiancé to go shopping alone.
They don't bother other unmarried couples cultivating relationships. This kind of day when peach blossoms are in full bloom is very suitable for cultivating relationships, so they don't join in the fun.
Chu Mingluan blushed and was pushed out by the crowd. She walked up to Xie Yufei in small steps and whispered, "Wu Lang..."
Xie Yufei smiled and handed her a paper bag and said, "I heard that you like to eat this preserved fruit, so I bought some for you."
"How about it? Can you come with me to enjoy the flowers?" Xie Yufei asked gently.
Chu Mingluan nodded, "...Okay."
*
Everyone watched Chu Mingluan and Xie Yufei leave, then looked at the group of young men who came with Xie Yufei, and joked with Xue Mingzhu with a smile, "Mingzhu, Mr. Geng is here too, do you want to go with him?
?”
"Huh? What is Mr. Geng?" Xue Mingzhu asked pretending not to know.
"Mingzhu, doesn't Third Master Geng please you?" the little sister said with a smile.
When Xue Mingzhu and the little sisters talked about Geng Hongyi, the third son of Geng, Liu Xi's eyes looked a little wrong, and the look he looked at Xue Mingzhu became even more hostile.
Originally, she was at odds with Xue Mingzhu, but now that Geng Hongyi was mentioned, she disliked Xue Mingzhu even more.
Liu Xi didn't really like Geng Hongyi that much, she was just very unhappy that Xue Mingzhu could be liked by a man with such a good family background, good looks and literary talent as Geng Hongyi.
Everyone can see that Geng Hongyi likes Xue Mingzhu, but the two parties involved, Geng Hongyi and Xue Mingzhu, feel that the other party does not like them. One of them does "I will bully you if I like you", and the other does "You are bullying me like this."
I really hate me”, which makes people speechless.
But bystanders could tell that Geng Hongyi liked Xue Mingzhu.
"Oh? Young Master Geng is in love with Miss Mingzhu?" Chen Yu asked curiously after hearing the gossip, "Is it true or false?"
"It's true..." Xue Mingzhu's little sister and the little girl who just came over with Chu Mingluan and the others whispered to Chen Yun about Geng Hongyi and Xue Mingzhu.
Of course, they are not random arrangements. There is also some tacit understanding between Anguo Duke's Mansion and Zhenyuan Hou's Mansion, and they plan to arrange a marriage for the two of them in a while, so they said this.
"What are you talking about?" Xue Mingzhu retorted with a red face.
Liu Xi looked at Xue Mingzhu's appearance and said expressionlessly, "Miss Xue, are you not satisfied with Third Young Master Geng as your future husband?"
"Third Young Master Geng is so outstanding that many girls in the capital admire him. If Miss Xue feels that it is not good for the elders in the family to arrange a marriage with Third Young Master Geng for you, many girls will be very happy.
"
Just like her, she must be very happy.
She would not think that Geng Hongyi was someone Xue Mingzhu didn't want, so if she could marry him, she would lose to Xue Mingzhu.
What is Geng Hongyi's family background? There is a big difference between the family status of the Duke's family and her uncle's family. If she could marry the son of the Duke's family as a girl from the uncle's family, she would not be happy in time.
What's more, Geng Hongyi is an excellent husband, and he is not a playboy. He is also the son-in-law who many people in Beijing are eyeing. If she could marry him, she would be too late to be happy. How could she feel that she had lost to Xue Mingzhu?
"Liu Si..." Before Xue Mingzhu's close sisters had time to speak, a loud and energetic voice interrupted their words.
"Miss Mingzhu? The weeping green peaches in the West Garden are very beautiful. I wonder if Miss Mingzhu would like to go with me to enjoy the flowers?" Geng Hongyi asked Xue Mingzhu not far away with a smile.
Xue Mingzhu blushed even more after hearing what he said. Her little sister happily pushed him out and said, "Okay, okay, our Mingzhu also likes the weeping green peach plant in the West Garden. Mr. Geng, please take her with you."
Let’s go and enjoy the flowers together.”
Geng Hongyi looked at Xue Mingzhu with a smile. She was a little shy but still turned back to Yan Long and the others and said, "Long'er, should I leave first?"
Yan Long smiled and nodded. She would not stop Xue Mingzhu from pursuing her own happiness. Although she didn't know much about Geng Hongyi, the husband, but since Xue Mingzhu's brother didn't stop her, there was nothing wrong with her.
blocked.
So Miss Xue Mingzhu followed Mr. Geng and went to the West Garden in Taoyuan for a walk.
The most commonly planted peach tree in the West Garden is the weeping green peach, but there is only one peach tree that is over 300 years old and is the most famous. Its flowers are also the most beautiful in the West Garden.
Third Young Master Geng’s excuse was quite good.
Chen Yun watched Chu Mingluan being taken away by her fiancé, and Xue Mingzhu also followed the person she liked, so she looked at the other girls.
"How many of them are there? Do you have a fiancé or a husband you like? Do you want to take advantage of the warm spring and the blooming peach blossoms to experience the beauty of youth?" Chen Yu asked the girls with a smile.
