The Murong family originally wanted to get married. Murong Shen was a young man well-known in the capital, with extremely high skills and handsome appearance. Zhongyong Hou Gaopeng was very satisfied with the marriage. He only waited for the Murong family to come to propose marriage.
Unexpectedly, Murong Shen suddenly regretted it, refused to recognize the oral engagement, and instead asked to marry Miss Zhao Liu. He even went to Beihai County in person.
The marriage contract between the Murong family and the Gao family had to be canceled.
Although this matter has not spread, there are indeed many people who know about it.
No one can bear to be regretted for no reason. Marquis Zhongyong often scolded Murong Shen in front of his daughter. Gao Pingping felt extremely angry.
Later, Murong Shen returned without success and returned to the capital in disgrace.
It turned out that Miss Zhao Liu was not interested in marrying into the Murong family at all. She already had a sweetheart, and she soon got engaged to the Prince of Beihai.
When the news reached his ears, Gao Pingping felt relieved for some reason.
Murong Shen, Murong Shen, do you really think that you are the chosen one and you can pick and choose from all the girls in the world? Miss Zhao Liu is not willing to talk to you.
Therefore, after Miss Zhao Liu came to the capital, Gao Pingping immediately asked someone to send a greeting card. When she was declined, Gao Pingping was not very angry.
When I saw him today, I fell in love with him.
Zhao Queyu was shocked by Gao Pingping's shocking words. His eyes drifted back and forth on the faces of Zhao Xiyan and Gao Pingping.
Zhao Xiyan had mixed feelings in her heart and smiled slightly: "Some people get along day and night but become strangers to each other, while some people are strangers and feel like old friends at first sight. Miss Gao and I are the latter."
Gao Ping looked at Zhao Xiyan steadily for a moment, and sighed with some worry: "No, they will laugh at me even more."
It's humiliating enough to be compared to your love rival, but if you and your love rival hit it off and chatted and laughed, it would be strange not to be laughed at.
Zhao Xiyan chuckled and said very considerately: "Miss Gao, don't worry about this. When we get to the Su Mansion later, Miss Gao can just do what she wants and don't have to be with me."
Gao Pingping sighed again: "You are so beautiful, smart, and so kind. It's hard not to like you or not. It's rare for me to see someone so good-looking."
What a sour feeling it is to want to be friends with your love rival!
In her previous life, Zhao Xiyan had mostly seen Empress Gao who was indifferent and yet disgusting. Now that Gao was flat, straightforward and enthusiastic, it was really hard for her to feel bad about her.
Zhao Xiyan pursed her lips and smiled.
Just then, the carriage stopped.
The pretty maid Iris poked her head in and looked around: "Miss, there are many carriages parked in front of Su's house. We have to walk over."
Gao Pingping was a little impatient and murmured in a low voice: "It's almost September, and the lotus flowers have already stopped blooming. Why should we hold a lotus appreciation feast? It would be better to pick some lotus leaves and have a feast of steamed meat with lotus leaves."
Zhao Xiyan burst into laughter.
Zhao Queyu also chuckled: "Miss Gao talks so funny."
Gao Pingping shrugged self-deprecatingly: "They are all laughing at me behind my back. I don't like reading. I don't know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I am good at playing with two swords. I can't be considered funny, I'm just greedy and love to eat."
Zhao Xiyan smiled sweetly and said: "The meat steamed with lotus leaves is fragrant but not greasy, and has a unique flavor. I like it too."
"I'll cook it myself another day, and I'll ask you to try it when it's ready."
Gao Pingping was also happy and nodded in agreement.
…
Gao Pingping got off the carriage first.
The girls in Duke Dingguo's residence were all concubines. Murong Yan was born to his stepmother to fill the house. Su Jin was of noble birth, but there were quite a few direct girls from the Su family. However, Gao Pingping was the daughter of Mrs. Zhongyonghou who gave birth to five sons in a row.
She is an old lady who is regarded as a treasure by Marquis Zhongyong. Although she has a weird temper and is an anomaly among the noble ladies. However, she is never missing from the gatherings of the noble ladies.
As soon as Gao Pingping got off the carriage, he immediately exchanged warm greetings with each other: "Sister Gao, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you look better and better."
What a fart! She was a big joke in the capital after her marriage was called off. This annoying Ji Er girl deliberately ridiculed her.
Gao Pingping raised his eyelids and replied: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Why have you gained weight?"
Miss Ji Er: "..."
Zhao Xiyan smiled silently.
Well, it’s still the familiar Gao Pingping!
Zhao Queyu was young. He used to go out with his mother and sister-in-law as guests. This time he and Zhao Xiyan were traveling together. He felt that he had become an adult. He was very happy and happy. He straightened his chest and said, "Sixth cousin, let's get off the carriage too."
Zhao Xiyan responded with a smile, got off the carriage with Zhao Queyu, and walked forward slowly.
Several carriages suddenly became silent at the same time, making no sound.
Miss Ji Er, who had just exchanged greetings with Gao Pingping, saw Zhao Xiyan's face clearly, her eyes widened suddenly, and she secretly took a deep breath.
This...who is this?
When did such an elegant and beautiful girl appear in the capital?
God!
This makes it impossible for people to live!
Zhao Xiyan glanced at Ji Er's face, which was as white and tender as the full moon. She was indeed a plump girl.
Miss Ji Er was also a little rash. She asked so bluntly, "Who are you?"
Zhao Xiyan never paid attention to anyone who was rude, she just didn't hear and walked over gracefully.
Miss Ji Er: "..."
Wow! My calm cousin is so majestic and powerful!
Zhao Queyu's eyes were almost shining, and he followed his cousin with brisk steps.
The mother in charge at the front door was very eye-catching and greeted her with a busy smile. The hosta handed the invitation to the mother in charge.
The mother in charge took a quick glance and said with a smile on her face: "It turns out to be the sixth and seventh girls from the Minister's Mansion. Our girls are in the flower viewing pavilion. I will lead the two girls there right now."
Zhao Xiyan smiled and nodded.
The mother in charge took a slight breath.
The girls of the Su family are famous for their good looks. The empress was beautiful when she was young and had unparalleled poetic talent. Among the girls of this generation, the fourth girl Su Jin is undoubtedly the most outstanding. However, in terms of appearance alone, compared to the one in front of me
The stunningly beautiful Miss Zhao Liu came, but she was still a little inferior.
The mother in charge calmed down and led the way.
Zhao Queyu subconsciously approached Zhao Xiyan. Zhao Xiyan turned around and smiled at her cousin. Zhao Queyu's heart immediately calmed down.
The Su family is a scholarly family that values elegance. Everything you see along the way is simple and elegant.
The flower-viewing pavilion is located beside a pond. The pavilion is not too big, but very delicate. It is surrounded by layers of light-colored and translucent silk.
In this way, the place is not too small. There are a dozen chairs and some small brocades inside. In the middle is an exquisite wooden coffee table, on which are placed fresh fruits and various pastries and snacks, as well as hot dishes.
scented tea.
A beautiful girl in a light blue dress stood surrounded by several girls with a bright smile.
This girl in blue should be Su Jin.
It is quite similar to the portrait of Empress Su when she was young.
Zhao Xiyan thought silently, stepped forward with a smile, and saluted.
Su Jin's eyes flashed with surprise, but before she could open her mouth, Murong Yan beside her suddenly said: "Are you Zhao Xiyan?"
