Chapter 485: More Like a Sudden Moment

Princess's Mansion.

Zhuzhi was taking off Song Yanxi's hairpins and rings, and couldn't help but say, "Miss, you really can't judge a person's heart by his appearance.

Miss Xu looks delicate and weak, but I didn't expect she has such a strong character inside."

Zhu Yu disagreed and frowned, asking, "If she is really so stubborn, she should directly ask Madam Xu why she is so biased.

Instead of using Miss Qiu to say those words to embarrass our girl."

She couldn't help blaming herself when she thought about how she couldn't be with the girl when those things happened today.

If she had known earlier, she should not have stayed at home to take care of the account books.

There is no end to the money she can earn, but she only has one daughter.

Fortunately, the girl was not bullied, otherwise, even if she regretted it and stabbed herself to death with a knife, it would be useless.

Thinking of this, Zhuyu glared at Zhuzhi with disappointment.

Zhuzhi suddenly felt wronged and said hurriedly, "Zhuyu, you didn't see it. Miss Xu knelt down in an instant, and Miss Qiu couldn't stop her."

Seeing that Zhuyu was about to criticize her, Song Yanxi said, "Zhuzhi was outside the carriage at the time, so it's not her fault."

The incident happened suddenly, and she might not be able to react in time.

Ling'er was probably scared to death by Xu Ruyue's actions.

When I was shopping with her in the afternoon, I was absent-minded and almost fell over the threshold.

After all, that girl was raised too innocently and had never seen the warmth or coldness of human nature.

It is good and bad.

Zhu Yu took the jade comb and handed it to Zhu Zhi, and asked in confusion: "Miss, why did Miss Xu come to you to ask to marry the prince?"

Zhuzhi also felt strange. "Even if she wanted to ask, she should have asked Princess Huayang. What's the point of asking our girl?"

Song Yanxi looked at her reflection in the bronze mirror and for a moment she didn't know how to explain to the two of them that she and Mo Jinchuan now had a mutual understanding.

Will it scare them if I tell them suddenly?

Seeing that she was worried, the two bamboos looked at each other and dared not say anything more.

Catching a glimpse of the two of them being so cautious, Song Yanxi said helplessly, "Look at you guys. I'm not a cannibal."

Zhuzhi asked tentatively, "Miss, if Miss Xu really wants to commit suicide because of this, will you be willing to help her?"

Song Yanxi said without hesitation: "No."

She doesn't care about her own life, let alone others?

Zhuzhi couldn't help but worry when he thought of Xu Ruyue getting off the car halfway and looking like she was about to faint at any time.

She hesitated and said, "Miss, I always feel that Miss Xu is not simple. I'm afraid there will be trouble."

Song Yanxi tapped her chin lightly and said, "With her personality, she will definitely not give up if she fails to accomplish anything today.

If the Xu family sends me invitations again in the future, I will find an excuse to decline them."

Speaking of the invitation, Zhu Yu hurriedly said, "Miss, the Princess's Mansion sent someone to deliver the invitation today."

She trotted over to get it and handed a post with a red background and gold foil to Song Yanxi.

Looking at the auspicious time written above, Song Yanxi felt that it looked particularly familiar.

She murmured, "March 6th."

Isn’t Jiaojiao’s fourth birthday on the sixth day of next month?

Song Yanxi frowned and asked, "When was this post delivered?"

Zhu Yu recalled, "It was about half an hour. The person who delivered the invitation had just left for a cup of tea when the girl returned."

Zhuzhi felt strange and muttered, "The eldest princess really does things differently from other families. She only sent the invitation in the evening."

Zhu Yu guessed, "Maybe there were too many people sending invitations, so it got delayed?"

But no matter from the distance or status, the invitation from the Princess's Mansion should not be delivered so late.

There are indeed many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, but not all of them are qualified to receive invitations from the Princess's Mansion.

Song Yanxi shook her head slightly, her eyes gloomy as she said, "From what I see, it seems more like a spur-of-the-moment decision."

Hearing this, the two bamboos looked at each other and suddenly had a bold idea in their minds.

Zhuzhi winked at Zhuyu and motioned her to speak.

The latter, however, is as still as a mountain.

Taking in the entire exchange of glances between the two, Song Yanxi solemnly instructed, "Prepare another generous gift. Take the Buddhist beads given by Master Kongming from the storeroom and find a more expensive box to put them in."

Zhuzhi was surprised and said, "Miss, this is the Buddhist beads given to you by Master Kongming."

Song Yanxi asked, "Do you still remember what Master Kongming said when he gave me the Buddhist beads?"

"The master said that the little donor should just keep it carefully, as it may be useful when the time comes."

Master Kongming’s words were so profound that Zhuzhi still remembered them clearly after so many years.

Song Yanxi curled her lips and said, "Now is the time of destiny."

Zhuzhi nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Girl, I understand!"

Song Yanxi raised an eyebrow, "What did you realize?"

Zhuzhi said seriously, "The eldest princess is the one destined for you."

Zhu Yu's face darkened. He snatched the jade comb from her hand and pushed her aside.

The disdain he expressed couldn't be more obvious.

While combing Song Yanxi's hair, she said, "When Master Kongming gave the girl the Buddhist beads, he said that she would have a disaster when she turned 20.

When fate brings opportunity, these beads may be of use."

Zhuzhi's eyes widened and he sighed, "So, these Buddhist beads can save lives?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly said "Pooh" twice and raised her hand to slap her mouth.

"I told you to say something unlucky, so you deserve a beating!"

Zhu Yu teased, "If the force is too light, it won't work. God can't hear it."

Zhuzhi suddenly laughed, rolled up his sleeves and said, "You silly girl, you actually dare to laugh at me, I will pull out all your hair."

Zhu Yu smiled and dodged to the side, begging for help: "Miss, save me! Sister Zhuzhi is going to eat me!"

Seeing the two of them laughing and joking, Song Yanxi couldn't help but be distracted.

Princess Huayang usually stays at home and rarely goes out. She rarely even attends palace banquets, and she is almost never seen at banquets held by other families.

When was the last time the Princess's Mansion held a banquet?

It had been so long that Song Yanxi could no longer remember.

Perhaps, there never was one.

How could someone who dislikes crowds so much suddenly change her temper and hold a flower-viewing banquet in her own princess mansion?

I'm afraid that what they are admiring are the delicate flowers that are blooming in the homes of various ministers, competing with each other for beauty.

There's just one thing that Song Yanxi hasn't figured out yet.

Princess Huayang wants to choose a concubine for Mo Jinchuan, which is understandable as an elder.

But no matter how you look at it, this post shouldn't be sent to her, the princess.

She didn't think that she had the honor to be favored by Aunt Qiu and Princess Huayang at the same time.

If she really knew that she and Mo Jinchuan had a mutual understanding, she would definitely not sit idly by.

Given her personality, it would be absolutely impossible for her to be allowed to enter Prince Jin's mansion as the principal wife as a second wife.

If he really wanted to help the two of them, there would be no need to make such a big fuss and organize such a flower-viewing banquet.

Never mind, we’ll know what she wants to do in half a month.

We will just deal with it accordingly when the time comes.
