The Golden Autumn Chrysanthemum Appreciation Garden Party held by Princess Changmin finally started with everyone’s anticipation.
Lin Zhu and Dong Yuzhen finished dressing up early with the help of Aunt Chang.
Because it was Lin Zhu's first time putting on makeup, she was so frustrated by the tedious process that neither she nor Dong Yuzhen had breakfast. For this reason, Lin Zhu's specially prepared snacks came in handy.
The snacks were just one bite, and she didn't have to worry about putting on her makeup after eating them. Aunt Chang even teased her that she would focus on eating.
The Du family's carriage arrived as promised. After picking up Dong Wenbo, Du Bin also arrived in front of Lin Zhu's house.
"Brother Du, thank you." Lin Zhu greeted Du Bin and Dong Wenbo in front of the carriage, and Dong Yuzhen also greeted them in the same way.
The newly dressed two people made their eyes light up, and Du Bin's face turned red involuntarily because he rarely had contact with girls. That shy look made Lin Zhu secretly smile.
"Everyone, please get on the bus. It will be too late if you delay any longer." It was Aunt Chang who spoke, relieving Du Bin's embarrassment.
"Brother Wenbo made me laugh." Sitting in the carriage, Du Bin calmed down and said to Dong Wenbo embarrassedly.
"Where, where." Dong Wenbo said repeatedly, "I'm not afraid of Brother Du's jokes. This is the first time I've seen my sister-in-law and sister Xiaozhu dressed up like this." Dong Wenbo's skin color was darker. He didn't tell anyone, and no one noticed him.
He also blushed.
"Hehe, hehe." The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Sister Zhen is so beautiful today. Brother Du was stunned just now." Lin Zhu said with a smile. Du Bin's look made her laugh when she thought about it.
"Sister Xiaozhu, don't talk nonsense. It's obviously because you were stunned." Dong Yuzhen turned slightly red because of Lin Zhu's teasing. She retorted in embarrassment and glanced at Aunt Chang nervously. She knew
Aunt Chang is now in General Chang's mansion, and it can be said that she and Chang Tianlei can see each other every day.
"Girl, don't talk nonsense like this in the future." Aunt Chang glanced at Lin Zhu disapprovingly. She had a very good impression of Dong Yuzhen. And just now she also discovered that Du Bin's blush was not due to anything against the two of them.
I think it's just because I'm not good at interacting with girls.
"Yes." Lin Zhu stuck out his tongue.
"Aunt Chang, is it appropriate for you to come with us? General Chang won't have any objections, right?" It would be okay if Aunt Chang taught them before the garden party started. But if anyone who knows Aunt Chang is accompanying her to the garden party,
.Isn’t it obvious that he has something to do with General Chang’s Mansion? Lin Zhu asked uneasily.
"This is also what the general ordered. Knowing that it is the first time for the girl and Miss Dong to attend such a gathering, he specifically asked me to stay with you. Don't worry, girl." Aunt Chang smiled and said.
"Thank you, Aunt Chang. I was worried that if I didn't understand anything at the garden party, I didn't know who to ask?" Dong Yuzhen's voice was a little nervous. Even when she was in Song County, she rarely attended gatherings.
.Not to mention this kind of garden party hosted by the princess. With Aunt Chang by her side, she really felt a lot more at ease.
However, Lin Zhu saw something strange in it. She glanced at Aunt Chang carefully, and when she saw her looking at Dong Yuzhen thoughtfully, she became even more suspicious.
"Aunt Chang, will Tianlei also go to this garden party?" This question has been in Lin Zhu's heart for several days. Every time he asks Aunt Chang, she always deflects it. He can't let it go today.
Passed her.
"I heard that the general received an invitation, but it's not clear whether Master Tianlei is going or not." Aunt Chang's expression did not change.
Lin Zhu secretly thought that Aunt Chang must be hiding something from him, and it was probably about Chang Tianlei and Dong Yuzhen. Testing? Investigation? Or blocking? All kinds of thoughts were rolling around in Lin Zhu's heart.
"Sister Xiaozhu, what are you thinking about?" When they arrived at the gate of the Royal Garden, they should have gotten off the car, but Dong Yuzhen found that Lin Zhu was still sitting there blankly without moving, so she pushed her gently.
"Uh? Oh, come right away." Lin Zhu came to his senses and quickly got out of the carriage.
At this time, Du Bin and Dong Wenbo walked to their carriage and waited for Lin Zhu and the others to come out.
"Miss Xiaozhu, I'll just take Brother Wenbo in. You can go in through the door on the right." Du Bin pointed to the door where many official ladies were passing.
"Thank you, Brother Du." The Du family only sent Du Bin as a representative today, and Dong Wenbo happened to be with him, so he wouldn't look lonely.
"You guys are having fun in there. If anything happens, send someone to see me." Du Bin remembered Mr. Du's instructions and must keep an eye on Lin Zhu, so before leaving, he warned the two of them.
"Well, don't worry." Lin Zhu waved his hand at him.
After Du Bin and Dong Wenbo left, Lin Zhu and the others were also preparing to go to the door.
But before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by someone.
"Miss Dong, please stay." A familiar voice came from behind.
Lin Zhu and Dong Yuzhen both turned to look at the source of the sound. It turned out to be Miss Qi who they had met that day.
However, because Miss Qi had embarrassed Dong Yuzhen at that time, neither of them was happy to see her here.
"Miss Qi." Dong Yuzhen was slightly blessed. After a few days of surprise instruction from Aunt Chang, she also knew how to deal with such a self-righteous young lady.
Miss Qi remained the same as that day and did not return the favor. Aunt Chang narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw her.
"Second Miss Dong is behind you, don't you have to wait for Miss Dong?" Miss Qi looked a little unhappy when she saw that no one except Dong Yuzhen did anything.
"I heard that my roommate sister will come here with Miss Qi." Dong Yuzhen looked up at her, "I guess she didn't come here because she was young and couldn't keep up with Miss Qi's footsteps."
Lin Zhu felt that it was very embarrassing to say such words in a place like this, so he motioned to Dong Yuzhen to walk towards the gate.
So Miss Qi was left there. Fortunately, there was no one in front of her and she was not embarrassed. However, because of Dong Yuzhen and Lin Zhu's ignorance, Miss Qi hated both of them in her heart.
"Sister Qi, please wait for me." Dong Yuyao, who arrived late, did not see Lin Zhu and the other two.
Miss Qi was angry now, and walked straight forward without even looking at her, making Dong Yuyao a little embarrassed and didn't know the reason.
More and more people came, but because Lin Zhu and others were riding in the Du family's carriage, and the Du family seemed to have a high status, they were quickly arranged to get in.
Lin Zhu's invitation was given by Mu Qiyue, and Princess Changmin had already ordered her servants to send someone to notify her if she saw this invitation. She specially arranged for an experienced mother in charge to watch from the side.
So the person who checked the invitation looked at Lin Zhu and others a few more times.
Lin Zhu and Dong Yuzhen didn't notice, but Aunt Chang noticed something strange inside. Of course, the mother in charge also saw Aunt Chang and was startled by her. The mother in charge thought she was very kind.
Because she went in quickly, the mother in charge did not look too carefully. But she did not dare to be careless and hurried back to report to Princess Changmin.
Seeing that nothing happened, Aunt Chang didn't take the strange thing to heart and followed Lin Zhu and others into the royal garden.
The garden here is not the imperial garden in the palace, but another garden for the royal family to enjoy, called Huaxing Garden.
Huaxing Garden is built close to mountains and rivers, following the terrain. It has the exquisiteness of southern gardens and the grandeur of northern gardens.
Lin Zhu walked around casually and took a look. There were scenery everywhere, and every place reflected the ingenuity of the person who designed the garden. Lin Zhu exclaimed, "It's a profit."
However, she still remembered that she wanted to meet Wang Qingyan, and of course she also had to get together with Zhang Manyun, so when wandering around the garden, she did not forget to inquire about the location of their family.
"Princess, Mother Wu is back." Qian Hui reported to Princess Chang Min who was resting that the person sent to observe Lin Zhu's movements was back.
"Let her come in." Princess Changmin walked out and sat on the main seat.
"Meet the princess." Mrs. Wu, the mother in charge, gave Princess Changmin a big gift.
"Get up." She raised her hand, "How about it?"
"There are two young ladies coming together. One looks to be eleven or twelve years old, holding an invitation from the Fourth Master, and the other looks to be thirteen or fourteen years old. She is accompanied by two maids and a personal mother." Mother Wu
She tried her best to tell everything she saw, but there were some things she was not sure about, but she didn't tell them.
"What else?" Princess Changmin found that she was hesitant to speak.
"That personal mother looks like Aunt Chang who used to be by Empress Lan's side. But I've only seen her once, so I don't know if it's her." Mother Wu told her everything she saw and thought.
"Isn't she in General Chang's Mansion?" Princess Changmin knew Aunt Chang, because she was a powerful person around Concubine Lan, so she remembered clearly that she was sent out to find the missing Chang Tianlei, and now
I am working as a steward mother in General Chang's mansion.
"Maybe this slave is dazzled and saw something wrong." Mother Wu quickly lowered her head and admitted her mistake.
"Maybe not." Princess Changmin sat up straight. She suddenly remembered that a few days ago, someone seemed to have said that General Chang's mansion opened its doors to welcome guests, but the first guest was not an official.
Could it be her? Princess Changmin's mind is a little confused. She recently sent someone to check Lin Zhu's social circle in the capital, and found that she actually knew the Wang family and the Lin family. She also knew the Zhang family who was the first to know her, and the General Chang's Mansion. She couldn't help but
This makes Princess Changmin wonder, who is this Lin Zhu?
"You go down first." Princess Changmin sent Mother Wu out first.
"Qianhui, you want people to watch and see what the relationship between Aunt Chang and Lin Zhu is?" Although Princess Changmin also felt that she cared too much about Lin Zhu, she rationally told herself that since Mu Qiyue said that she had nothing to do with her,
The relationship between a man and a woman should not be investigated any further, but intuitively, she felt that something would definitely happen with Lin Zhu in the future. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
