Chapter 256 The person who fell from the rockery

All the gatherings and banquets held by the noble ladies in the capital are just the same, the content will not be much different, and the only change is the form of expression.

Xu Muhua originally decided to act low-key, but the princess showed her different attitude towards her from the beginning, so that soon everyone who came to the banquet today knew that the eldest daughter of the Chengguo Mansion was very much favored by the princess!

So she couldn't keep a low profile!

Not to mention that she was worried at first that someone would cause trouble for her and take advantage of Princess Qingning. Many people believe that she and Princess Qingning have a good relationship and are friends!

So she accidentally became the focus of today's banquet!

Xu Muhua said that she was really panicked and really wanted to find an excuse to leave early!

But the princess liked her very much and kept holding her hand! She couldn't even go to the toilet!

However, male and female guests were always separated. Didn't the eldest princess want to find a girl for her nephew today?

Xu Muhua muttered in her heart, could it be that the nephew was hiding and watching secretly?

She was right. The nephew who was raised by the eldest princess was indeed watching secretly.

There was a small building in the flower-viewing courtyard, three stories high, and the nephew was standing on the building looking down.

"Who is that?"

He pointed at the daughter next to the eldest princess and asked.

Nanny Qi, who had been serving the eldest princess, recognized her at a glance and said, "She is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Cheng's Mansion. I heard that she helped His Highness to avoid falling in the Caiyi Shop a few days ago."

"Oh, so she can be said to be your benefactor."

"Indeed, that's why the eldest princess likes her very much. What does the young master think of her?"

As a person involved, he had some understanding of the meaning of this banquet held today.

"Madam, I just took a quick look, how can I know what these girls are like! I think you really don't need to worry too much about this matter. Fate is destined by heaven, there is no rush!"

Madam Qi glared at him, "Even if it is destined by heaven, if you don't work hard, can God drop someone from the sky in front of you?"

Ling Hongge joked, "Madam Qi, maybe God will really drop a girl to help me!"

As soon as the voice fell, they heard a strange sound. They looked in the direction of the sound at the same time, and saw a person falling from the rockery next to the small building!

Madam Qi was startled, and Ling Hongge was also startled. After they came to their senses, they hurried back to the small building. Nanny Qi did not have time to say anything more and hurried downstairs.

Ling Hongge hesitated for a moment and followed her down.

The situation was special and there was no time to think about it.

The movement here also alarmed the people who were admiring the chrysanthemums over there.

When the princess heard that someone had fallen from the rockery, she frowned and immediately asked someone to call a doctor. She dragged Xu Muhua to the nearest room.

Xu Muhua: There is no need to drag her at this time!

She was really forced to socialize the whole time today! I don’t know how many envious and hateful eyes she has attracted. I feel like I have been bullied by others’ eyes countless times!

In the chamber, Madam Qi had already ordered people to place the girl who fell from the rockery on the bed, while Ling Hongge was avoiding suspicion in the small hall outside. Seeing the princess coming, he stood up and saluted, "Auntie." Seeing

Ling Hongge, the princess was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Hong'er, why are you here?"

Ling Hongge touched her nose with a guilty conscience, her eyes flashing.

The princess frowned at first, and when she saw Madam Qi coming out, she seemed to understand, and for a moment she didn't know whether to be angry or amused.

He was the one who said he was not interested in the relationship, and he was also the one who hid and peeked!

Madam Qi is really nonsense! How can we let Hong'er do this? There are so many girls here today. If something unexpected happens and something bad is spread, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of both parties?

Ling Hongge looked away and met a pair of curious eyes. Seeing him looking at her, she smiled at him openly, but she looked away the next second and the smile on her face disappeared instantly, as if she had changed her face!

He was stunned for a moment.

What does this girl mean?

What does she mean? She just smiled politely!

The princess didn't notice the eye contact between the two and asked Nanny Qi: "What happened? Who fell from the rockery?"

Nanny Qi looked a little strange and replied in a low voice: "It was the illegitimate daughter of Master Pei's mansion."

Xu Muhua couldn't help but ask, "Pei Zhen?"

"Muhua, do you know this lady?"

Xu Muhua nodded honestly, "I guess I know her. Master Pei's granddaughter Pei Shaorong and I are good friends. This Pei Zhen is her illegitimate sister. I heard that it was Madam Pei who insisted that Madam Pei bring her here. She originally followed us, but later seemed to have left with other girls and we couldn't find her since then." As she

said this, she also put some eye drops on the princess, so that Pei Zhen wouldn't bite back and say that her legitimate sister Arong ignored her and caused her to get into trouble in the princess's mansion.

Who is the princess? She grew up in the palace since she was a child. Although she was not familiar with other things, she was most familiar with those conspiracies, schemes and tricks.

When Xu Muhua said this, she knew that there might be some other story behind it, otherwise there would be no need to insist that the stepmother take a concubine's daughter out to the banquet. The

eldest princess gave a look to Madam Qi, and then said, "The doctor is here, is the young lady okay?"

"She is still unconscious for the time being. She fell from the rockery and hit her head. It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

"In that case, send someone to ask Madam Pei to come over."

Madam Qi bowed and retreated.

A little concubine's daughter was certainly not worthy of the eldest princess condescending to take care of her. She told the maid to take good care of her, and the eldest princess prepared to take Xu Muhua and her nephew away.

But it was just such a coincidence that as soon as she turned around, she heard noise coming from the inner room, followed by the voice of a maid, "You're awake!"

The eldest princess smiled with an ambiguous smile on her face, "Since you're awake, I'll go and take a look! No matter what, it happened in the eldest princess's mansion."

Xu Muhua had no choice but to continue to act as a maid and help the princess go over.

Ling Hongge reflexively wanted to follow, but the princess stopped and looked at him sideways, "What are you doing here, a foreign man? Many young masters have come today, why are you hiding here instead of entertaining them?"

Ling Hongge blushed, "Auntie, I'll leave first."

Before leaving, he didn't know why, but he couldn't help but look at Miss Xu who was standing next to his aunt.

Xu Muhua:

Look at what she's doing, they don't know each other!

Xu Muhua helped the princess go without looking back, without any hesitation.
