The book in Xiao Lichen's hand fell to the ground at some point.
His beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with unpredictable storms.
Tao Yuwei sensed the danger at the first moment. As soon as the carriage of Prince Yong's mansion stopped in front of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, she quickly lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage without waiting for the coachman to put down the footstool.
The housekeeper of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, along with some servants and maids, welcomed the distinguished guests into the mansion and took them to the pavilion by the artificial lake in the backyard.
Looking around, Tao Yuwei found that the artificial lake in Zuo Xiangfu was big and beautiful.
Viewing pavilions were built one after another around the lake.
Various exquisite snacks and fruits are placed on the stone table in the pavilion for everyone to rest and enjoy.
In addition to green willows planted around the emerald green lake, a floating bridge has also been built on the lakeside.
The lotus in the center of the lake is as beautiful as lotus flowers emerging from the water. The flowers and green lotus leaves complement each other, and the air is filled with a distant fragrance.
There are also some small wooden boats floating in the lake.
Some active ladies have brought their friends and rowed boats to appreciate the lotus flowers up close.
The lotus viewing banquet at the Left Prime Minister's Mansion arranged men and women to be seated in pavilions on both sides of the lake.
There is an ice basin in the corner of the pavilion so people won’t feel uncomfortable due to the heat.
After looking around and not seeing the third princess Xiao Daifu, Tao Yuwei chose a pavilion where there were not many people and sat down.
Some noble ladies would subconsciously look away when they saw her.
However, most of the noble ladies were older than her and were basically of marriageable age.
Tao Yuwei is not interested in them.
Besides, she doesn't have the habit of trying to please others.
I stayed alone and ate pastries, feeling free and comfortable.
Eat first, there will be a good show to watch later, so she needs to save some energy.
Just as she was eating happily, a woman with a gentle appearance and wearing a light pink chest-length skirt came up to her.
"Jiang Siyan pays homage to Princess Anle and wishes her peace and safety."
The other party bowed, which startled Tao Yuwei so much that she coughed several times and almost choked on the snack in her mouth.
Jiang Siyan?
Isn’t this the heroine’s name?
Tao Yuwei suddenly raised her head and sighed in her heart as she looked at the fair-skinned and beautiful woman in front of her.
This female protagonist was just the eldest daughter of an eighth-rank clerk in the Ministry of Rites.
In the capital, the position of eighth-rank chief clerk is too low to be ranked.
The heroine was able to come to the capital because her father had put in a lot of effort and traveled everywhere to get her from a remote place in the Great Zhou Dynasty to be an official in the capital.
[Ah, I went to a party and actually ran into the heroine. Is the place where the heroine appeared far away from the hero?]
[This character perfectly captures the brutal and murderous male protagonist, as if they have known each other since childhood and were childhood sweethearts for a while.]
"No need to be so polite, please stand up!"
As Tao Yuwei spoke, she looked around, searching for the male protagonist Xiao Chengyan.
"Thank you, Princess Anle!"
Jiang Siyan stood up and sat beside her.
Not finding Xiao Chengyan, Tao Yuwei withdrew her gaze and saw that Jiang Siyan was actually pouring tea for her.
Tao Yuwei was confused by the other party's inexplicable friendly behavior.
They are not familiar with each other, so why does the heroine stick to her?
She remembered the famous scene where the hero and heroine met, which seemed like a mistake filled with the flavor of the old days.
That’s right, it was a mistake.
The male protagonist Xiao Chengyan lived in the south with his mother when he was a child.
Xiao Chengyan's life experience was deliberately concealed by his biological mother, who kept him secretly hidden since he was born.
Just like that, the hero and the heroine were neighbors when they were young.
However, when Xiao Chengyan was about six years old, his biological father, Emperor Jianchang, learned of his existence and he was taken back to the palace.
Many years later.
The two met again.
However, the male protagonist mistook her for the female protagonist's stepsister.
Thinking of this, Tao Yuwei's eager heart began to move shamefully.
"Where's your stepsister?"
The words come out without thinking.
Jiang Siyan didn't expect that the Princess Anle, who was deeply favored by His Majesty, actually knew her and knew something about her family situation.
"My dear Princess, my sister is now boating on the lake."
Following the direction Jiang Siyan pointed, Tao Yuwei saw two young women chatting and laughing on one of the small wooden boats in the lake.
[Wouldn't the Left Prime Minister's residence be quite lively today? Not only could we see several men playing poker together, but we could also witness an old-fashioned case of mistaken identity.]
She is so looking forward to it.
I don’t know where the third princess is?
Today's lotus viewing banquet is prepared for her.
All the words in her heart were heard by Xiao Lichen who was more than a hundred meters away from her.
"Master, when do we start?"
Hei Yan stood behind him. They, master and servant, deliberately chose an empty corridor to discuss matters.
Xiao Lichen looked in the direction of Tao Yuwei and said, "No rush!"
The third princess Xiao Daifu, whom Tao Yuwei was worried about, was currently in a cave in a rockery in the prime minister's residence.
Her back was pressed tightly against the mountain.
His mouth was blocked and he was entangled with a tall figure.
nearby.
Two men were approaching.
"You said the third princess is back, is that true? Why haven't I seen her?"
The Empress Dowager's grandson Guo Buyan anxiously asked Wang Jue beside him.
Wang Jue looked around pretentiously and said, "For your good friend, I sent someone to keep an eye on her movements. The maid said she just came in this direction."
