Chapter 264: The Village Beauty Who Falsely Claims Favors in a Farming Story (11)
The Princess's Mansion was not far from the Prince of Jin's Mansion, and they arrived there soon.
At Chunmei's request, Su Yu deliberately wore a plain white dress and tied her hair with a jade hairpin, making her stand out among the other gorgeous ladies.
The servant of the Princess's Mansion was puzzled for only a moment, then hurried forward and said, "Miss, please come this way."
The eldest princess had specifically instructed that people coming from Prince Jin's mansion must be treated well and not make any mistakes.
The servant led the way while observing the woman out of the corner of his eye.
Although her clothes were plain, her face was really pretty. A little more gaudy would have made her look vulgar, and a little less plain would have made her look just right, as charming as a fairy from the Moon Palace.
It’s just that his manners aren’t very good, and he looks a bit detached.
Chunmei was worried. She had originally thought that the village girl would look better in brightly colored clothes, so she specially picked out a plain white dress for her. She didn't expect that she would still look so beautiful in it.
Her eyes swept across Su Yu's exquisite face, and she came to the conclusion that it was not a problem with the clothes, but a problem with the person.
If you are beautiful, you will look good in anything.
How could such a face grow on a country girl? Chunmei couldn't understand it.
After passing through the corridor and turning a few corners, the servants gradually stopped.
"It's right in front. Miss, just go over there. If you have anything to say, just tell the maid over there."
Su Yu nodded at her and took Chunmei forward.
The peach blossoms were in full bloom in spring. The eldest princess loved peach blossoms, so when she built the princess's mansion, she ordered craftsmen to transplant hundreds of peach trees, covering a very large area. In spring, the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the scene was breathtaking.
After passing through a moon gate, the view in front of you suddenly opens up.
"Wow~" Su Yu and Chunmei exclaimed at the same time, it's so beautiful.
After being amazed, Chunmei quickly put away her expression. She had to be reserved and not act like this country girl who had never seen the world.
"Girl, we'll just walk around here and go back home when the time comes. If other men come and talk to you, please ignore them."
The male and female guests enter the peach forest from different places, and need to go deeper to meet each other.
The people of Daqing Dynasty were wealthy and open-minded, and they did not take the separation between men and women very seriously. It was normal for young men and women to meet and talk to each other.
Outside the peach forest, Su Yu saw several noble ladies walking together, and she followed them.
"Why did the princess suddenly think of holding a flower-viewing banquet?" someone asked curiously.
"How do we know what the princess thinks?"
"I heard from my mother that the Princess's Mansion is holding a flower viewing banquet for His Royal Highness Prince Jin."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention was drawn over.
"Are you serious?"
The man was unsure: "Anyway, that's what my mother said."
"Could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Jin is going to choose a queen?"
"How is that possible? The principal wife of the Prince of Jin must be personally selected by His Majesty and His Majesty. How could they be so careless? Choosing a concubine is more appropriate."
"It's not that easy to be a concubine. It has nothing to do with us anyway."
Su Yu, who vaguely knew the truth, remained silent.
Sorry, this flower-viewing banquet is for choosing a husband for the lifesaver of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin.
Finally, someone noticed Su Yu's unfamiliar face and asked, "Which mansion does this girl belong to? How come I've never seen her before?"
Su Yu hesitated for two seconds, and Chunmei said for her: "Our girl is from the Prince Jin's Mansion."
In an instant, everyone seemed to be strangled by the neck. The discussion stopped and the scene was dead silent.
A trembling voice asked, "Which prefecture?"
Chunmei raised her neck: "Prince Jin's Mansion."
The people in the mansion heard people talking about the prince behind his back, and they were so anxious that they died.
"Are you the concubine of His Royal Highness Prince Jin?" Someone noticed something suspicious. "No, the flower viewing banquet only invites young girls who are not engaged. You are definitely not the concubine of His Royal Highness Prince Jin."
The Prince of Jin has not yet married, let alone has a daughter.
"You are not from Prince Jin's Mansion." The man said with certainty.
"I am." Su Yu frowned slightly and retorted, "I am the prince's savior."
"Savior?"
As the group walked deeper into the peach forest, Su Yu explained her identity to them: "The prince was seriously injured at the time, and I saved him. After he woke up, he brought me back to the capital and let me live in the prince's mansion."
When talking about saving people, Su Yu's tone was a little weak.
Everyone was stunned. Is this possible?
Suddenly someone sighed: "His Royal Highness Prince Jin must like you very much."
Su Yu looked over, her expression blank.
The man glanced at her and said, "If it was a normal way to repay a favor, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin would only need to leave a sum of money. There would be no need to go through so much trouble to bring you back to the capital and specially settle you in his house."
"But you are so beautiful, no wonder His Highness is attracted to you."
Su Yu finally came to her senses and said, "You mean, the prince brought me back to Beijing because he likes me?"
"What else?"
Chunmei was suddenly enlightened. Yes, that was the truth. Why didn’t she think of it?
Girls of this age seem to have a special liking for gossip, even in ancient times.
The person who was speaking walked around Su Yu and asked her in a low voice: "Did His Royal Highness Prince Jin say that he would give you a title?"
Su Yu already knew what status meant, and didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she didn't say anything.
The man looked at her sympathetically and said, "It seems that there is none."
Su Yu: “…”
The group walked and stopped along the way. Although the peach forest was beautiful, they got tired of looking at it. When they walked deeper into the forest, they could vaguely hear noises coming from the male guest.
Everyone stopped tacitly.
Someone rolled his eyes and suggested, "It's boring to be idle, why don't we write a poem?"
The proposal received approval from more than half of the votes.
"How about we take turns and start with this burning peach blossom?"
It was very appropriate and no one had any objections.
Su Yu said weakly: "I can't write poetry."
Chunmei really wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into. This country girl was so embarrassing.
The woman who had just spoken to Su Yu said casually, "Then you can stand by and copy down our poems."
Not everyone is good at writing poetry, so it’s not surprising that Su Yu said that.
The servants in the Princess's mansion were very efficient and quickly sent someone to bring a table, paper and pen.
Su Yu said weakly again: "I can't write."
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked: "You said you can't write?!"
"How can someone not be able to write? Are they lying to us just to be lazy?"
Chunmei really wanted to press Su Yu's neck to make her nod, and wink at her frantically, admitting that being lazy was better than admitting that she couldn't write.
Unfortunately, Su Yu couldn't receive her signal.
Su Yu shook her head, her eyes sincere: "I'm not lying to you, people in my area can't write."
"You all can write, that's really amazing."
It's so sincere that people can't even bear to ridicule it.
"Then you can just watch from the side."
Where on earth did His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin bring back such a country girl?
Chunmei had a heart attack.
At this time, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, who was being talked about by everyone, was approaching this side.
"Has she been wronged?"
The secret guard who was secretly protecting Su Yu shook his head and said, "The girl gets along well with others."
Zhao Ce breathed a sigh of relief, barely perceptible.
As they walked deeper into the peach forest, the sounds of pretty girls playing became clearer. Zhao Ce avoided several small groups and searched for Su Yu.
Finally, I found her in a quiet place.
In his ears was the sound of a woman reciting poetry after pondering for a while. Zhao Ce automatically filtered out the sound and stared in the direction of Su Yu in a daze for a moment.
The little girl, who was dressed simply and looked particularly well-behaved, had sparkling eyes. She stood next to the person who was writing, watched obediently and praised from time to time.
"You are amazing. You can write so many words."
“…”
