After rebirth, the female supporting role only wanted to have a grand funeral

Chapter 40 Flower Appreciation Banquet

Xue Shu had almost reached Tangli Ju before she suddenly stopped.

She had vaguely felt something was wrong just now, but now, she finally realized it.

In her previous life, as long as she encountered something related to Chu Chu, no matter it was big or small, she couldn't control herself.

Just like in her previous life, even if the person who came to ask her for the land deed was not Chu Chu, she still lost control.

It doesn't matter whether you contact Chu Chu directly or contact the people around Chu Chu, it's the same.

but now……

It has been a month since she was reborn, and she has experienced many big and small things related to Chu Chu, but it seems that except for the time at the palace banquet, she has never lost control again.

And that time, she didn't lose control completely.

At least in her previous life, once she lost control, her whole body would lose control and she couldn't seal her mouth with tea.

"Qingyu..." Xue Shu spoke in a trembling voice, interrupting Qingyu's chatter, "Do you think there is anything wrong with me today?"

Qingyu said "Ah", then thought about it carefully, and then shook her head: "No, I don't think there is anything different about the girl."

If I have to say one thing, it would be that the girl today is more beautiful than yesterday!

Qingyu giggled twice, Xue Shu gave her a helpless look and continued to walk away.

It seems that we can't count on this silly girl Qingyu.

Now she has an inference in her mind, but she is not sure yet.

It seems that I have to find time to meet Chu Chu.

After returning to the house, Xue Shu's eyes fell on the brightly blooming hibiscus flower by the window: "This hibiscus is blooming so beautifully..."

Those flowers were given by Chen Suihan two days ago. I don’t know how the servants took care of them. They were just stuck in the water. Two days later, they are still as fresh as if they were just picked.

Qingyu lowered her head, picked a piece of sweet fruit from the basket and threw it into her mouth: "Yes, now is the season of hibiscus flowers!"

The people in the capital, influenced by His Majesty, are more lively than the others.

When the flowers bloom, we have a flower-viewing banquet. When the grass becomes green, we hold a polo match. Even if our own cook accidentally makes something delicious, we have to send out invitations widely and hold a grand banquet, inviting all the acquaintances to taste it.

Check it out and take this opportunity to have some fun.

Now that the hibiscus flowers are in bloom, we can hold a flower-viewing party and invite all the ladies in the city to attend.

"I remember there is a hibiscus garden in the capital, which is not often open on weekdays." Xue Shu also took out a fruit, wiped it clean with a handkerchief, then held it in her hand and ate it bit by bit, "Go there yourself.

If you ask, just say that we are going to hold a flower viewing party and can we borrow the garden."

"Yes." Qingyu put down the basket, wiped her hands and left.

After a while, she came back again, holding a post in her hand: "Just in time, girl, this is from Princess Yongjia of Anyang Palace, saying that she will hold a flower viewing banquet in Furong Garden and specially invite girls.

Go."

"What a coincidence?" Xue Shu raised her eyebrows and took the post, "Go and ask if Prince Xiaoyao will go. If so, ask Xiang'er if he will go."

"Yes." Qingyu agreed, then quickly turned around and went out to inquire in person.

Xue Shu took apart the gilded post, glanced at it briefly, determined the time, then casually placed the post on the table and turned to eat the fruit.

King Anyang is one of the only two vassal kings in Daliang.

According to Daliang law, the vassal king was not allowed to leave the fiefdom without any reason. In order to show that the court valued the vassal king, the vassal princes and daughters could be sent to the capital to be cared for by the royal family.

Prince Anyang had no children, and Princess Yongjia was the only daughter of Prince Anyang. She grew up in the capital and had good relations with the royal family.

Maybe Anyang Prince's Palace is deserted, but this girl loves liveliness very much. Wherever there is excitement outside, she will be there.

But the only thing she doesn't like to attend is royal palace banquets, saying she always feels restrained.

Neither the emperor nor the empress were narrow-minded people. What's more, they held the palace banquet to make the emperor and his ministers happy together, not to make anyone unhappy, so they waved their hands and let her go.

Outsiders always secretly said that the princess had a weird temper, but whenever she posted a message, she never failed to keep her appointment.

Qin Xiang is the only exception.

This girl obviously seems to be eloquent, but she always says that she is not good at socializing with others. Except when there are palace banquets in the palace, she is always forced to go by her mother. At other times, she will give in to whoever is hosting the banquet.

If she really can't push him away, then at the banquet, he will turn into brown sugar and stick to Xue Shu, not leaving even half a step.

Normally, it would be fine if Qin Xiang didn't go, but this time it was different. If Prince Xiaoyao and Chu Chu were present, Xue Shu felt that it would be better if Qin Xiang was there.

The reason is very simple. Because of the last palace banquet, Qin Xiang gave her too much sense of security.

Qingyu came back after a while, with a smile on her face: "Girl, I've asked everything clearly. Prince Xiaoyao is going, and Miss Qin is going too."

Xue Shu nodded, looking at Qingyu's inexplicable smile, she couldn't help but wonder: "What happened outside to make you so happy?"

Qingyu finally laughed out loud: "When I went to the gate of Prince Heng's Mansion to inquire about the news, I met the female envoy from Miss Qin's family! Miss Qin's instructions are the same as yours, first inquire whether Prince Xiaoyao is going, and then inquire about you.

Should I go or not... I wonder, does this count as a connection between the two minds?"

Xue Shu laughed, shook her head but said nothing.

It's really interesting.

——

Two days later, Lu Yingyuan suddenly came to the door. When Xue Shu rushed to the front hall, Xue Chen and Chen Suihan were also there.

"Then why is Marquis Changsheng still making trouble in front of your house? I see that he has lost a lot of weight, and he is not tired at all?" Lu Yingyuan was a little confused.

He knew that His Majesty had reprimanded Marquis Changsheng that day, and he also expected that Marquis Changsheng would come to the house and make a fuss. However, he did not expect that after so many days, Marquis Changsheng still hadn't given up.

When he came today, he was almost held back by Marquis Changsheng. Thanks to his nimbleness, otherwise he might not have been able to enter the Xue family.

"How can anyone give up the position of Marquis so easily?" Xue Chen was not surprised by Marquis Changsheng's persistence.

Without the title of Marquis, all courtesy would disappear, which would be a fatal blow to the people of the Marquis of Changsheng family who were used to being domineering.

Xue Shu walked to the door and paused when she heard these words.

Yes, for the sake of a shaky position as marquis, even the always lazy Marquis Changsheng changed his normal behavior and went to the gate of Zuo Xiangfu to make trouble every day.

In his previous life, the Marquis of Zhenbei gave up his position as Marquis so simply and neatly just to save her life.

Thinking of this, Xue Shu sighed in her heart, took a step forward, and entered the front hall: "Second cousin, why did you think of visiting us today?"

Lu Yingyuan put down the tea cup, took out a brochure from his arms and handed it to her: "We have prepared all the things to keep out the cold for the Salesian Bureau. I am going to send them over today. I will bring the list and let you take a look."

"Tell me to take a look?" Xue Shu was a little confused. She took the brochure and took a look at it, only to realize that Lu Yingyuan had donated this batch of materials in his own name.

"After all, it was you who suggested it, so naturally the donation will be made in your name," Lu Yingyuan said with a smile, "But if there are any more donations in the future, they will have to come directly from the Hou Mansion. After all, big trees attract wind, and if you donate too frequently,

Or if the donation is a huge amount, it may attract the attention of people with ulterior motives."

"But I just mentioned it, why should such a big credit be given to me?" Xue Shu blinked, "Then let me pay for the money, Qingyu, you go..."

"Hey, it doesn't have to be like this," Lu Yingyuan waved his hand, "You are the only girl in our family. This little money can make you happy, but it is a great deal. Don't worry, I have everything covered."
