Old Lady Xu is now living a life of raising a young man. The Duke's Mansion specializes in raising female storytellers and singers who play the piano and sing music. All of them serve Old Lady Xu. Their grandsons are less interested in singers. Unfortunately, there are more than a dozen young and beautiful singers who are as beautiful as flowers and are young and beautiful. When they first entered the mansion, they secretly hoped that the most common one would be the old lady.

The Pingyang Marquis Mansion did not raise so many idle people, so I was sitting next to Mrs. Xu, eating delicious pastries while listening to the female husband telling stories vividly. Ayu was quite enjoying it.

When the prospective Crown Princess Xu Qiong came over, she saw a picture of a young man and a young man listening to books happily.

It would be fine if others were to do it, but Xu Qiong felt it dazzling when he saw Ayu.

She has never suffered any grievances when she grew up. Her parents love her and her brothers take good care of her. The only time she lost face in front of everyone was the time she mocked Ayu for not coveting Feixu two years ago. Until now, Xu Qiong doesn't think she is wrong. It is obvious that the shameless little concubine Ayu is wrong.

Now that Ayu has become a legitimate daughter, life will definitely get better and better. Xu Qiong is so confused when he thinks about it.

In particular, Ayu's half-sister Cao Wei actually became the prince's concubine. Next month, she will go to the palace to serve the prince first! Although the princess got married late to show the grandeur of marrying the official concubine in the East Palace, Xu Qiong is just a young and energetic girl. Before she got married, her husband would be romance with the two concubines first. It would be strange if she could be happy!

Xu Qiong decided to teach Ayu a lesson today because of the new revenge that came from Cao Wei's anger and the old hatred between her and Ayu.

"Grandma's side is so lively." Xu Qiong said with a smile when she stepped into the hall.

The palace had already sent a nanny to guide the etiquette of the Crown Princess, so Xu Qiong was dignified at this time and had a hint of the grace of the Crown Princess.

Old Mrs. Xu nodded in praise and waved, "Why are you free here today?"

The eldest granddaughter has a different identity and has to learn from the teaching nanny every day, so Old Mrs. Xu did not send anyone to invite her.

Xu Qiong glanced at three cousins ​​or cousins ​​and pretended to be delicious and said, "If I don't come again, my grandmother will forget my granddaughter."

Old Mrs. Xu laughed and ordered Madam Fang to add a chair next to her.

On the left was Xu Ying and Cao Pei, and on the right was Ayu. The chair must be added to the right. Ayu moved a seat to the side consciously.

Xu Qiong came over, looked at Ayu curiously, and said in surprise: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Ayu's cousin has become more and more beautiful when she goes out to the ground."

She spoke intimately, but Ayu knew Xu Qiong was very good, so he only lowered his eyes respectfully and said, "You have been too rewarded."

This attitude has already treated Xu Qiong as the crown princess.

Xu Qiong was very satisfied and sat next to Old Lady Xu with a smile.

After listening for half an hour, the storyteller should take a break. Old Mrs. Xu also had to sort out the birthday gifts she received yesterday and said to the four little girls: "The weather is right now. You go to the garden to play, come here to have dinner with me at noon."

The four girls retreated in unison.

After leaving Songhe Hall, the atmosphere between the girls suddenly became subtle.

The Xu family has only two girls. Xu Qiong is the legitimate daughter of the East Courtyard and Xu Ying's legitimate daughter of the West Courtyard. However, the two masters of the West Courtyard are just the nephews of the Old Lady Xu after all, which makes Xu Qiong's status higher than Xu Ying.

Usually, the relationship between cousins ​​is pretty good, and they can get together even if they talk and joke, but Xu Ying can feel the arrogance in her cousin.

Therefore, Xu Ying prefers her cousin Cao Pei, and she is also good at Ayu.

Knowing that Xu Qiong and Ayu were not in the process, Xu Ying wanted to play their own games.

"Is sister going back?" Xu Ying asked with a smile, standing at the gate of Songhe Hall.

She thought that Xu Qiong would disdain to walk with them if she didn't like Ayu, but Xu Qiong held her arm intimately and said, "The scenery in the garden is so good. What should I do when I go back? Let's enjoy the flowers together."

After saying that, she took Xu Ying and walked forward first.

Cao Pei looked at Ayu, coughed, and said regretfully: "Big cousin, second cousin, I'm not feeling well. You go and have fun. Ayu and I will go back first."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qiong stopped and asked her with concern: "What's wrong with my cousin? Do I want my grandmother to send someone to hire a doctor?"

Cao Pei shook his head and handed Xu Qiong a look that should have been understood by a girl: "It's okay, I'm just lazy and want to go back and lie down."

Xu Qiong smiled: "Okay, then you go back and rest, but it's too deserted for us to visit the garden, so Ayu will stay."

Cao Pei was shocked, and Xu Qiong actually took the initiative to keep Ayu?

I think I know that Xu Qiong must not keep her because she likes Ayu.

But Cao Pei was not inconvenient to say anything else, and looked at his cousin beside him with a smile.

Ayu said politely: "My cousin keeps me, I shouldn't have refused. But my husband at home has left his homework, so I have to go back to practice calligraphy."

Xu Qiong raised his eyebrows: "It's too late to write the schoolwork at night. I see that Ayu's cousin seems not very happy to accompany me. Could it be that he is still angry about my impulsive words the previous year? Why, I need to apologize to you, right?"

Ayu's heart sank.

If Xu Qiong is just the legitimate daughter of the Xu family, she doesn't need to worry about anything. But Xu Qiong is the qualifying crown princess and cannot be offended to death.

Since the draft results came out, even Xu Ying and Cao Pei did not dare to openly challenge Xu Qiong.

Recognizing the situation, Ayu smiled and said, "My cousin was joking. How could I take the jokes seriously when I was a child?"

Xu Qiong snorted: "Since I'm not blaming me, then accompany me to the garden."

Ayu nodded obediently: "Yes."

Xu Qiong was satisfied and pulled Xu Ying to continue walking forward.

Cao Pei looked at Ayu worriedly: "Sister, you..."

Ayu held her hand and whispered: "Don't worry, sister, I'll pay attention."

No matter what Xu Qiong's identity is, she will not leave any handle. Does Xu Qiong dare to blame her for no reason?

He asked his cousin to go back first, and Ayu led Baochan to follow him.

Cao Pei stamped his feet in annoyance. If she had known this, she would not have made up excuses for being uncomfortable. She might have left her alone and could have said a few words for her sister.

The capital has been very warm recently, and the red plums and crabapples in the garden of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion have been in full bloom.

Xu Qiong made the decision and led Xu Ying and Ayu to the Begonia Forest.

After enjoying the flowers for a while, the three brothers Xu Si, Xu Wu and Xu Ke suddenly came over. The three brothers were of similar age and had similar interests, and were often inseparable. Xu Ke wanted to come to find Ayu, Xu Si, and Xu Wu to come and watch the fun.

Xu Ke is sixteen years old, and the young man who practices martial arts seems to grow very fast. Now he is a very taller than Ayu, slender and tall, and elegant. He is in the wind.

Looking at Xu Ke getting closer, Ayu had to admit that among the six young masters of the Xu family, Xu Ke had the most outstanding appearance.

But if Xu Qian is included, Xu Ke will withdraw one person.

"Ayu, you are here to enjoy the flowers." The young girls gathered together, and Xu Ke walked to Ayu very naturally, smiling like the spring breeze.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Si suddenly sneered: "Aren't you talking nonsense? A Yu has come to the crabapple forest. If you don't appreciate the flowers, would you appreciate the grass on the ground?"

Xu Ke's face turned red by his smile.

Ayu went to Xu Ying to get together.

Xu Ke liked her, and everyone present should know it.

When Xu Ke tried every means to approach her in the previous life, Xu Si or Xu Wu deliberately joked about Xu Ke. Ayu would blush with Xu Ke and his mind was sweet, but now she only felt troubled.

If she wants to see Xu Qian, she must come to the Duke's Mansion often, but if she comes to the Duke's Mansion, Xu Ke will definitely come over.

Xu Qiong glanced at Xu Ke, who was confused by Ayu, looked at Ayu who seemed to be shy, and suddenly took a plan to heart.

"You are here just right, let's play hide and seek?" Xu Qiong suggested with a smile, "Who decides who is a cat in each game? If the authorities catch all the others, the losers will be punished with a glass of wine. Otherwise, as long as one person is not caught, he will be punished as a cat to drink."

This proposal was immediately supported by the three brothers Xu Ke.

Xu Ying also found it quite interesting.

When Ayu heard that he wanted to punish him for drinking, he hurriedly refused and said, "No, no, Daddy, we don't allow him to drink..."

Xu Si smiled at her: "What are you afraid of? As long as you don't say it, how could the Marquis know that you have drunk?"

Ayu doesn't care, he just doesn't agree.

Seeing that she was really embarrassed, Xu Ke stood up and said, "It's okay, you really lost, I'll drink it for you."

Xu Si and Xu Wu immediately started to tsk.

Ayu could only lower his head and hold his little hand awkwardly.

She may not play, but everyone is so excited that she left rashly. How can she get along with these people in the future?

If she wants to marry Xu Qian, the Xu family cannot make everyone think she can't afford to play anything.

"Thank you, my cousin." Ayu whispered to Xu Ke's help.

Xu Qiong curled his lips secretly, but didn't say much.

The maids prepared a blindfolded black cloth belt, a pot of daughter red and six small wine glasses, and the first round of rock-scissors, Xu Si was a ghost.

Xu Wu asked him to stand under the tree and blindfolded him personally. When Loeb took the lead, he used too much strength, so the pain made Xu Si almost fight him.

There was a burst of laughter, and Xu Si began to count, and the others looked for a place to hide.

Baochan and other maids stayed in place.

When the number of cats reaches thirty, everyone must stop, so the game range is limited and it is very convenient to find. If the "cat" still cannot catch all the "mouses" in a quarter of an hour, the "cat" will lose.

The girls ran slowly and hid close. They were the first to be caught by Xu Si. The rest of Xu Wu rushed to the tree. After Xu Ke hid in the pavilion, the entire army was wiped out.

When he was punishing the wine, Xu Ke smiled and drank her glass for Ayu.

In the second round of lottery, Xu Ying drew the cat.

The last time he hid, Ayu took a fancy to a good place. This time, when Xu Ying started counting, Ayu rushed to the bushes behind a few flower trees.

There are many flowers and trees in the garden. Although the distance is not far, it is enough to block the maids' vision.

Baochan only saw his girl hiding somewhere, but she didn't see Xu Qiong also wandering around Ayu.
