On the west side of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was a large area of plum blossom trees. At the end of each year, the plum blossoms would bloom beautifully.
Therefore, every year when the plum blossoms were in full bloom, the Prime Minister's Estate would invite the noble ladies of the prestigious families in the capital to the Prime Minister's Estate to admire the plum blossoms.
This kind of banquet was called the Plum Appreciation Banquet, but in fact, it was also a banquet for the noble ladies to build relationships with their families.
These days, Madame Lin had been preparing for the annual Plum Blossom Banquet. Although she was not favored, she had always been in charge of the family's affairs. She was also the host of banquets, big and small.
Under her meticulous preparation, everything needed for the Plum Blossom Banquet was finally ready, and the Plum Blossom Banquet had arrived.
Early in the morning, Leng Yun Ge got up and dressed up. Today, she was wearing a white dress and a moon-white embroidered cloak. She wore a thin layer of makeup, and her black hair was tied up with a plum blossom jade hairpin. She did not have any other decorations. She looked simple, elegant, and pure, like a fairy in the mortal world.
She first went to Madame Lin's room to greet her. Today, Madame Lin was dressed in a splendid dress, which accentuated her matriarch demeanor.
These days, after taking the medicine that Old Master Liu had prescribed for Madame Lin and stopping using the previous medicine, Madame Lin's body was gradually getting better.
After having breakfast with Madame Lin, they went to the living room hand in hand to prepare to welcome the guests who were coming today.
They were sitting in the living room drinking tea when they saw Concubine Su and Leng Yunxi walking toward the living room.
When Concubine Su and Leng Yunxi saw Madame Lin and her son, they bowed slightly.
Today, Concubine Su was dressed very flirtatiously. She was wearing a rose-red dress and a cream-colored flowery shawl, which made her look extremely charming.
Leng Yunxi was wearing a long red dress with golden begonia and phoenix tails. She was wearing a silver-white mink fur coat. The blush on her face made her look extremely sweet.
Leng Yun Ge looked at the mother and son indifferently and sneered in her heart. Looking at them today, it seemed that they wanted to show off in front of the noble ladies today and monopolize their coquettishness. However, she would not let them get what they wanted.
"Furen is really diligent. You woke up so early. No wonder the Prime Minister's residence is so well organized by you.”Aunt Su smiled and said to Madame Lin. However, she was surprised that Madame Lin's spirit was getting better and better. She wondered if there was something wrong with the medicine. However, she hated Madame Lin even more for occupying the position of the Prime Minister's wife, making her lower her head to her. At such a banquet, only she could be in the limelight. If it weren't for her daughter's future, she wouldn't have lowered herself in front of her and even let her Yunxi and Leng Yunge get so close.
At this time, after Leng Yunxi greeted Madame Lin, he walked over to Leng Yunge's side and held Leng Yunge's hand to chat. Leng Yunge smiled faintly and brushed off her fake feelings.
Not long after, noble ladies and young ladies arrived at the Prime Minister's residence.
Madame Lin had no time to care about them anymore and quickly went to greet the guests. Although Concubine Su had always been very pampered by Leng Cangyuan, a concubine was still a concubine after all. She was not presentable, so she naturally did not have the right to receive guests.
Concubine Su stared at Madame Lin fiercely as if she wanted to tear her into pieces.
Jealousy could sometimes make people so terrifying. She even forgot to ask herself if she was wrong and blamed her misfortune and pain on others, thinking that her pain was caused by others.
Just as Leng Yunge was feeling bored, she saw the Fourth Prince Mo Qianyu walk in. Leng Yunge suddenly felt extremely disgusted and irritated. When Leng Yunxi saw Mo Qianyu, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. However, due to the occasion, he quickly hid that surprise.
After greeting Madame Lin, Mo Qianyu walked towards them. After Aunt Su bowed to Mo Qianyu, she excused herself and left.
When Mo Qianyu saw Leng Yunge, a trace of amazement flashed in her eyes. She had never realized that Leng Yunge was actually so beautiful. She was dressed in white and had simple hair accessories. She looked like a fairy in the snow, which made him lose himself in thought.
Leng Yunxi was so angry that he clenched the handkerchief in his hand.
"Greetings, Your Highness." Leng Yunxi could no longer stand Mo Qianyu staring at Leng Yunge, so he walked over and bowed to him.
Upon hearing Leng Yunxi's voice, Mo Qianyu suddenly realized that she had lost her composure and said," No need for formalities."
He walked to Leng Yunge and smiled." I haven't had time to visit you recently. I wonder how your health is?”There was a gentleness in her voice that was not present in the past.
Leng Yunge did not want to say anything more to him. She just smiled lightly and said indifferently," Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. My daughter's health has already recovered.”He thought to himself that he didn't have the time to visit her, so he must have gone to Leng Yunxi's place to enjoy the tenderness. However, it was better if he didn't come. He didn't want to disgust himself.
At this moment, Leng Yun Ge saw a familiar figure walking towards her. It was none other than her best friend, Liu Xinping.
She remembered that in her previous life, Xinping had always treated her very well. Even after she was banished to the Cold Palace, she had secretly come to see her once when she entered the palace. After seeing her, she cried her heart out. In the end, because it was almost time to leave the palace, she was reluctant to part with her and left with every step she took. In her previous life, she did not have a good life. Because she was a concubine's daughter, her marriage was in the hands of the main wife. Although she married the son of the minister, An Zihao, as the main wife, An Zihao was a playboy who never put her in his eyes. He would either stay in the streets or take a concubine home.
Leng Yunge's eyes flashed with tears as she thought of the past in her previous life. Hence, she hurriedly walked towards her.
"Xinping, you're here." Leng Yun Ge took Liu Xinping's hand and said happily.
"Yes, I heard that you were sick some time ago and I didn't have the chance to visit you. I wonder if you're better now.”Liu Xinping asked with concern. As she spoke, she didn't forget to look at Leng Yunge up and down. It seemed that she wanted to look up and down to make sure that he was really fine before she was relieved.
Leng Yun Ge saw the genuine concern in Liu Xinping's eyes and felt a warmth in her heart. She said softly," Alright, don't look anymore. I'm fine. I'm fine."”
Liu Xinping stopped sizing her up and said," Then I'm relieved."”Suddenly, she smiled evilly and said," I haven't seen you for a long time. You're becoming more and more iconic and you're getting better at dressing up. It seems that our Yun Ge has grown up."”
Hearing Liu Xinping's words, Leng Yunge couldn't help but feel a little shy. Her face instantly turned red. She gently pinched Liu Xinping's face and said," I asked you to tease me. I think you're getting more and more mischievous."”
Leng Yunxi looked at how intimate Leng Yunge and Liu Xinping were. He suddenly realized that ever since Leng Yunge fell into the water and woke up from her illness, she had never been so intimate with her. Although he was pretending to be intimate with her, what went wrong? Could it be that Leng Yunge had discovered something?
However, after being reminded by Liu Xinping, she noticed that Leng Yun Ge was indeed much better looking than before. Her plain white dress made her look like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world. She was extraordinary and elegant. She couldn't help but feel a little unhappy and looked away.
He then looked at Mo Qianyu and found that Mo Qianyu was staring at Leng Yunge with admiration and desire in her eyes.
She had never thought that a timid and cowardly Leng Yun Ge would be a threat to her. All along, she had only treated her as a stepping stone. But now, it seemed that there was something fishy about it.
When most of the guests had arrived, Madame Lin led everyone to the plum garden.
At this moment, the plum blossoms were in full bloom. From afar, one could smell a delicate fragrance. There were red plums that were as beautiful as fire, and there were also white plums that were as white as snow. All kinds of plum blossoms complemented each other, making the entire plum garden even more beautiful.
Liu Xinping broke off a blooming plum blossom and pinned it on Leng Yunge's hair. Then, she placed her hand on her cheek and nodded, saying," Mm, not bad. Yunge, you're really beautiful, just like a plum blossom fairy."”
"Alright, I'm not as beautiful as you." Leng Yun Ge said embarrassedly. She reached out and picked the most beautiful red plum, leaving it behind Liu Xinping's fortune.
Liu Xinping was wearing a long pink dress with a white coat draped over her shoulders. She had a typical oval face, slim and beautiful. Now that the plum blossoms were in her hair, she looked even more beautiful.
Leng Yun Ge and Liu Xinping were playing around here and didn't notice the two gazes that were sizing them up from afar.
"Fourteenth Brother, could it be that you really have deep feelings for this Eldest Miss of the Prime Minister's Estate? Don't blame me for not reminding you, Ninth Brother. She's already engaged to Fourth Brother. You'd better put away that fantasy that you shouldn't have. Besides, you're not suitable for each other.”Mo Qianchen, who was standing in the depths of the plum blossom, said to Mo Qiantan seriously.
However, Mo Qiantan still could not move his eyes away from Leng Yunge and did not listen to Mo Qianchen's words. Seeing him like this, Mo Qianchen could not help but shake his head. It was Mo Qiantan's fault for being too stubborn. As long as it was something he had set his mind on, it was difficult to change it. This made him, who had always thought that he was omnipotent, feel helpless for the first time. He lamented this ill-fated relationship and regretted inviting him to Old Master Liu's place that day.
He had always treated Mo Qiantan as his own brother. They had gone through thick and thin together. This was a rare friendship in the royal family, so he cherished it very much. However, he was now worried that his 14th brother would die because of Leng Yunge.
Suddenly, Leng Yun Ge's elegant and refined face from that night and her flustered look after being teased by him appeared in her mind. As she thought about it, a smile could not help but float on the corner of her mouth. When he came back to his senses, he was annoyed that he had thought of her.
Originally, he had not planned to come to the Prime Minister's residence today, but he could not persuade his Fourteenth Brother, so he had to accompany him. Of course, he also wanted to familiarize himself with the terrain of the Prime Minister's residence. It might be helpful for him to look for that thing the next time he came to the Prime Minister's residence.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
