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

Chapter 78 Plum Garden

The carriage drove smoothly and soon arrived at the Plum Garden.

Princess Yongjia personally stood at the door to receive the guests just like she held the flower appreciation party last time.

Only this time, her face looked visibly haggard, and there were even two dark circles under her eyes on her fair face.

"Mr. Xue, Mr. Jing," Princess Yongjia reluctantly said, "Shu'er."

"What's going on?" Xue Shu looked at her worriedly, "If the princess feels unwell, she'd better go back to Nuang Pavilion and sit down."

This look is quite scary.

Princess Yongjia took Xue Shu's hand and squeezed it gently: "I'm fine, I'm just tired from preparing for the banquet... Well, you know, I just like to join in the fun."

Hosting a banquet is not a job for humans.

The only thing more annoying than hosting a banquet for yourself is hosting a banquet for someone else.

That Miss Chu is a playful person. In this winter, she actually wants to go out on a small boat, and she wants Princess Yongjia to set up a scene for her to show off her talents.

All kinds of weird and weird requests are coming in endlessly.

Today they want silk, tomorrow they want satin, and they have requirements for colors and even designs. The people under Princess Yongjia almost broke their legs before they finally managed to collect what Chu Chu wanted a few days ago.

They were also criticized by Chu Chu for their poor performance and low efficiency.

Even Prince Xiaoyao felt that Chu Chu's request was a bit excessive, but he didn't think so. He even asked her to find something... dry ice?

Chu Chu said that when the time comes, prepare a few buckets of water, place them in a hidden place on the boat, and then throw in the dry ice to create a fairy-like atmosphere.

Princess Yongjia almost died of grief.

In the end, the "dry ice" Chu Chu mentioned was not found.

Princess Yongjia had no choice but to think about the boat Chu Chu wanted to take, but she didn't expect that Chu Chu's vision was so high that the boat Princess Yongjia stayed up late to design herself could not catch her eye.

In the end, Prince Xiaoyao couldn't stand it any longer, so he coaxed and persuaded Chu Chu to let her go.

Princess Yongjia burst into tears when she thought of her experiences these days.

How had she, the noble princess, ever suffered such injustice?

She just felt that she would never want to host another banquet for the rest of her life.

Xue Shu curled her lips helplessly and said, "The princess is so troubled, I'm really looking forward to it."

Princess Yongjia smiled bitterly, shook her head and said nothing.

expect?

There's really nothing to look forward to.

This entire banquet exists to show off Chu Chu. The final effect depends on Chu Chu's own performance.

Princess Yongjia has no expectations for this.

After all, that Miss Chu really doesn't look like she has any talent.

"Okay, it's cold outside, go in and sit down." Princess Yongjia patted Xue Shu on the shoulder.

Xue Shu nodded and followed her brother into the plum garden.

There is a three-story building in this plum garden. It is built near the water. The carved beams and paintings are very exquisite. A charcoal fire was lit inside early. Even if you are not wearing a heavy cloak, you will not feel cold inside.

The banquet will be held here.

Along the way, the snow on the road had been cleared away, but it was still a bit slippery. Xue Shu walked extremely cautiously, fearing that she would accidentally lose the fairy image that Qingyu had carefully created for her.

That would be ridiculous.

Xue Chen and Jing Xing took care of her and deliberately slowed down their pace. They had to turn their heads to watch her movements from time to time for fear that she would slip.

Red plums are planted on both sides of the path. It is still early now, there are only flower bones on the branches, and the plum fragrance is not very obvious. In short, now is not a good time to enjoy plum blossoms.

But today’s focus is not on plum blossom appreciation, it’s just on taking advantage of the scenery.

As soon as she entered the small building, Xue Shu was surrounded by a group of noble ladies. She didn't even have time to say hello to Xue Chen, so she subconsciously raised her standard smile and chatted with the noble ladies.

"Have you heard that for this banquet, the so-called cooking of snow and tea is secondary," the baby-faced girl said mysteriously, as if she had mastered the secret. "The most important thing is that...

Miss Chu Chu wants to become famous!”

As expected, the ladies around him cheered and exclaimed.

"To become famous? What kind of fame does that Miss Chu want to achieve? Doesn't she think her reputation is not bad enough?" This person was outspoken.

"Don't say that. Since Miss Chu can be favored by Prince Xiaoyao, she must have something special. Let's just wait and see." This was a cautious person.

"I think so. Prince Xiaoyao has won His Majesty's favor and has been traveling abroad. His vision is obviously broad. It is definitely not easy for someone to be attracted by him. I am looking forward to it!"

"What? They have been back in Beijing for so long. In addition to dragging down the reputation of the prince, has Miss Chu done anything extraordinary?"

"That's right, that Miss Chu, she has never been absent from banquets, big or small, and has never been seen..."

"Maybe they are just hiding it!"

Everyone was talking about it for a while, but Xue Shu found it boring, so she found a quiet place to sit down.

Over there, Xue Chen had been paying attention to her movements. Seeing that she had gone away after dealing with her, he also left the group of friends, walked to sit down next to Xue Shu, and sighed: "It seems that Prince Xiaoyao has done something for that Chu

Girl, you really spent a lot of money."

"Yes." Xue Shu said casually.

She knew that Prince Xiaoyao was infatuated with Chu Chu.

It's a pity that Chu Chu has no heart.

In the previous life, Chu Chu relied on Prince Xiaoyao to get higher and higher. What happened in the end?

She stepped on Prince Xiaoyao's sincerity and sat on the phoenix throne.

He was such a high-spirited young man, but he was devastated by Chu Chu. In the end, he seemed to have never married, and was completely cut off from the lineage of Prince Heng.

What a filial son.

A great filial son.

Xue Shu was very curious about the ending of Prince Xiaoyao in this life.

At this time, Jing Xing also came over: "You two brothers are really good at finding a place."

Xue Chen raised the corners of his lips and said teasingly: "Shu'er, you're used to hiding away when you're free."

As long as she wants to hide, there is no safe place that she can't find.

Xue Shu snorted softly and was about to speak back when she accidentally glanced at the door and immediately stopped caring about Xue Chen: "Cousin!"

The place they were in at this time was a corner, with either screens or green plants placed next to it. If Xue Shu hadn't stood up on her own initiative, none of the Lu family brothers would have been able to spot her.

The visitors were none other than the brothers of the Lu family.

Originally, they didn't want to come to the banquet hosted by Princess Yongjia, but as soon as they heard that Xue Shu would come, they all changed their minds.

As soon as Lu Yinghuai saw her, the frost on his face melted immediately. He walked quickly to Xue Shu and looked her up and down: "You are a little thinly dressed, are you cold?"

Xue Shu also lowered her head and looked at herself and said: "It's already wrapped into a ball, is it still thin?"

If she wrapped it in a few more layers, she wouldn't even be able to see her toes.

"Girls are chubby and cute!" Lu Yingyuan chuckled twice.

Successfully received a blank look from Xue Shu: "Second cousin, if you talk like this, how will you find your sister-in-law in the future?"

Lu Yingyuan's smile suddenly stopped in his throat, and he turned around aggrievedly.

"Look, your second brother is angry," Lu Yingche curled his lips, stepped forward and put his arms around Xue Shu's shoulders, and took her far away, "Shu'er, stay away from him quickly, he will get violent and fight in a while

Human, well, he always doesn't care about the severity of his attacks. If he hurts you, I will be very distressed."

Lu Yingyuan turned around, pointed a finger at himself, and his eyes widened.

Who did he hit?

Even if he beat Lu Yingche to death with one fist, he would not do anything to his cute little cousin!

Damn it!

He is finished!
