Chapter 44 My sister is so lucky to have such an excellent fiancé! [9]
After wandering around for a while, Ah Chu finally met a maid from Yi Garden and asked her for directions.
The maid personally escorted Achu back to the courtyard where the female guests were changing clothes.
As soon as I went in, I saw Xiaoliu running out with a worried and flustered expression.
Upon seeing Achu, Xiaoliu paused for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, where have you been? I brought your clothes and didn't see you. I was so startled!"
Achu: "I waited for a while and didn't see you come back, so I went out to take a look, but I got lost."
"Thanks to this lady for bringing me back."
After saying that, Achu thanked the maid who had brought her back.
The maidservant bowed politely and said, "Miss, you don't need to be so polite. I'll take my leave now."
After the maid left, A-Chu followed Xiao-Liu inside to change her clothes.
The clothes she was going to change into were similar in style and color to the one she was wearing, so she didn't need to change her jewelry either.
After changing his clothes, Achu led Xiaoliu back to the place where Shen Jingya and the other noble ladies had been.
However, upon arrival, they discovered that Shen Jingya and the other noble ladies had all disappeared.
I asked the maid and found out that the male guests were having an archery competition, and the noble ladies had all gone to watch the fun.
The separation of men and women in this world is not so strict, and unmarried men and women can interact in public.
Xiao Liu frowned, muttering somewhat unhappily, "Fifth Miss is really something, just abandoning you like this, Miss!"
She spoke softly, so only Ah Chu could hear her.
Achu smiled at her: "It's okay, let's go take a look too."
She mainly wanted to see what was going on.
The maids at Yiyuan were very considerate and sent Achu and Xiaoliu over.
As soon as Achu and the others passed through the hanging flower gate, they heard a very lively sound.
Some cheered, some applauded, and the voices were from both men and women.
Ah Chu stopped in her tracks and said to Xiao Liu beside her, "There seem to be a lot of people... Maybe we shouldn't go?"
Xiaoliu knew that her young mistress was somewhat timid and introverted, but she had heard that there were quite a few outstanding young men from prominent families at today's spring banquet!
Now that Miss is the legitimate daughter of a Marquis's family, and with such beauty and talent, she is sure to win the favor of outstanding young men from noble families!
Isn't the best outcome for a woman to find a good husband?
Xiao Liu comforted A Chu, "Miss, don't be afraid, I'll go with you! Let's go see. If Fifth Miss can go, why can't you?"
Achu hesitated for a moment, but then mustered up her courage and nodded: "Okay, let's go take a look."
The maid leading the way glanced at A Chu and thought to herself that this sixth young lady of the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion not only looked delicate and weak, but also had a very timid personality!
As Achu and the others got closer, the noise and commotion grew even louder.
She saw many young men and women dressed in fine clothes.
It was an open space with a sunshade shed set up here and several archery targets standing in the distance.
Several tall, handsome young men were drawing their bows and shooting arrows.
Ah Chu noticed that one of the men stood out from the others in terms of appearance, demeanor, and attire.
It's obvious without even thinking that it must be Si Jinxuan, the male protagonist of this novel world.
Si Jinxuan is the current fifth prince, and his birth mother is Consort Jiang.
After the late empress passed away, the emperor did not appoint a new empress.
The one currently in charge of the inner palace is Consort Jiang.
Because Si Jinye was predicted to live no more than two years, everyone privately felt that Si Jinxuan was the most likely candidate to become the next crown prince.
And that is indeed the case.
A year after Si Jinye's death, Si Jinxuan was made crown prince.
A year later, the emperor died, and Si Jinxuan ascended the throne.
Shen Jingya, on the other hand, was made empress.
In the same year, the original owner, while pregnant, was abused to death by her husband, resulting in the deaths of both herself and her unborn child.
"Hey? Jingya, isn't that your sister?"
A noble lady noticed Achu standing there and called out to Shen Jingya, who was cheering for Si Jinxuan.
Shen Jingya turned her head to look and sure enough, she saw A Chu standing under a crabapple tree.
The noblewoman's voice was quite loud, and everyone else heard it too.
Almost everyone turned to look.
Just then, a gust of wind blew by, causing the crabapple blossoms to tremble and many petals to fall with the wind.
Under the tree, Ah Chu's hair, shawl, and skirt fluttered gently in the wind, making her look like a fairy about to ride the wind away!
This rain of crabapple blossoms seemed to have fallen especially for her.
This also resonated with some of the young masters from prominent families present.
Someone couldn't help but exclaim, "She's so beautiful!"
"Such an unparalleled beauty exists in the world!"
"Petals fall like rain to the ground, a tree full of flowers reflects the blue sky."
"Miss Shen, is your sister married?"
She remained calm and composed, but her fingernails were so tight they were almost digging into her palms.
She was right after all; as long as Ah Chu appeared, she would definitely amaze many people!
Look at these shallow, looks-obsessed men, they actually want to marry her!
Shen Jingya went to see Si Jinxuan, worried that he too would be captivated by A Chu's face.
Si Jinxuan was indeed amazed by A Chu, but he didn't show it at all.
Even when he noticed Shen Jingya looking over, he looked at her in return.
Seeing Si Jinxuan's expressionless handsome face, Shen Jingya breathed a sigh of relief.
The man she chose was indeed different from others!
Shen Jingya then smiled and said, "My sister is timid, so please don't frighten her!"
After saying that, Shen Jingya beckoned to A Chu: "Sixth Sister, come here quickly!"
As if encouraged, Achu finally lifted her foot and walked over.
"Fifth Sister." She called out to Shen Jingya, then glanced at everyone.
Because she had never seen so many outsiders before, she looked a little nervous, and her eyes were full of dependence when she looked at Shen Jingya.
Shen Jingya was very satisfied with A Chu's unpresentable appearance and came over to take her hand intimately.
"Sixth Sister, you've come at the perfect time! We're watching Brother Xuan and the others have an archery competition! You've never seen one before, so you can join in the fun!"
Achu replied softly, "Okay."
Shen Jingya pulled Achu over to the group of noble ladies, then said to the young men who were still peeking at Achu, "You guys keep going!"
"Oh right! Let's continue!"
Those who had just competed have returned to the front.
However, apart from Si Jinxuan, the others were all distracted by A Chu's appearance.
This time, his performance wasn't as good as before.
And Si Jinxuan hit the bullseye once again.
Shen Jingya jumped up and clapped her hands, her face full of joy and pride: "Brother Xuan is so amazing!"
The other ladies also joined in the applause.
Ah Chu looked on in amazement and exclaimed softly, "Wow!"
Shen Jingya heard this and looked at Achu, a wary glint in her eyes.
But soon she smiled and introduced him to Achu: "Sixth sister, do you see that? That's your future fifth brother-in-law!"
Achu looked at Shen Jingya with envy in her eyes: "Fifth sister is so lucky to have such an excellent fiancé."
With a calm and elegant smile, she replied, "Yes!"
But in her heart she thought: What a classic green tea b*tch!
