Xu Jinglin actually has another sweetheart!

This news shook Jiang Shuqi's ears like thunder, and his heart trembled.

She grinded Jiang Shuli and agreed to take her to the flower-viewing banquet in Xu's mansion, originally to see Xu Jinglin's demeanor.

Since Mama Qiu set a life goal for her - to marry the second prince Li Shu, she has been thinking about it.

Although she has usually participated in banquets with Xu Jinglin in the past, she really hasn't paid close attention to this well-known and good-looking daughter of the Xu Mansion.

After taking a closer look, Xu Jinglin is indeed dignified and elegant, and the temperament of her whole body all shows the demeanor of a noble girl of the family.

People can't help but feel ashamed of themselves.

That's why she quietly ducked.

I didn't know that I heard such an amazing inside story!

It's a pity that I don't know who interrupted the conversation between the two girls, otherwise I'm afraid that even Xu Jinglin's favorite person would know who it is.

If he knew who it was and stabbed this matter apart, Jiang Shuqi couldn't help but think, could Xu Jinglin and the second prince still succeed? Her eyes flickered, and she wondered if it was possible.

"Shuqi, what are you doing here?" After Jiang Shuli gossiped with everyone for a while, Jiang Shuqi was gone, so he came out to look around, and happened to see Jiang Shuqi in a daze against a pool of lake water.

Jiang Shuqi was suddenly startled, and when he saw that Jiang Shuli was coming, he stood up in a little panic and said, "Eldest sister, I saw that you were chatting lively, and I couldn't interject, so I came out for a walk." ”

Jiang Shuli smiled, "The flower-viewing banquet has begun, let's go to the garden together." ”

The flower-viewing banquet was set up in the large garden in the front yard, and Xu Jinglin took a group of boudoir ladies to the front yard while talking and laughing.

It's spring, so it's a good time to see the flowers.

Colorful flowers are planted everywhere along the road, colorful butterflies flap their wings and shuttle among the flowers, and the laughter of the girls is filled with the sun shine.

There are a lot of naughty girls, and even the central people brought nets to chase the butterflies among the flowers.

"I really envy their unrestrained appearance," Xu Jinglin pulled Yu Bing and them to a pavilion to rest, "Yesterday I was a butterfly fluttering girl, but today I feel so far away from me." ”

A flash of gloom flashed in her eyes.

Jiang Shuqi stood behind Jiang Shuli and quietly observed Xu Jinglin, and he didn't miss her look.

Yu Bing answered with a smile, "If Jinglin wants to flutter butterflies, I will accompany her at any time, but I am worried that some people will think that fluttering butterflies will mess up their sideburns, so they will go back and comb their hair in a hurry after catching butterflies." ”

is talking about Xu Jinglin's interesting story when she fluttered butterflies two years ago.

For a while, several familiar noblewomen around him covered their mouths and laughed.

The gloom in Xu Jinglin's eyes was swept away, as bright as the stars in the sky, dazzlingly beautiful.

was chatting happily, when I suddenly saw a maid hurrying over, walked to Xu Jinglin's side and whispered a few words.

Xu Jinglin's face changed slightly, and she frowned and said, "Since you are here, it is the way to invite you in." ”

"Who's coming?" Yu Bing was curious.

Xu Jinglin looked at everyone, "Cao Lan is here." ”

"How could she come?" Zhang Yao was surprised, covered her mouth and said, "Jinglin, did you invite her?" ”

The relationship between Xu Jinglin and Cao Lan has long been broken.

Especially after Concubine Shu Guifei humiliated Cao Lan in public during the New Year's greetings, Cao Lan looked like she didn't share the sky with Xu Jinglin, God knows that Xu Jinglin was not involved in this matter from beginning to end, so she was inexplicably hated.

At the flower viewing banquet, Xu Jinglin did not send a post to Cao Lan.

Xu Jinglin shook her head.

Yu Bing stood up, pulled Xu Jinglin and said, "Let's go and see why she came here today." ”

The group walked out of the pavilion and saw Cao Lan coming from a distance.

Many of the nobles in the flower appreciation also saw Cao Lan, and couldn't help whispering in twos and threes.

A noble girl walked towards Xu Jinglin and them quietly, stayed in front of them, and said in a low voice, "Jinglin, I heard a news yesterday, because I don't know whether it's true or not, because I didn't tell you before. ”

The crowd stopped and listened.

The noble lady glanced at Cao Lan, who was gradually approaching, "I heard that the emperor is going to issue an order to point Cao Lan to the second prince as a side concubine recently. ”

After speaking, she left Xu Jinglin with a knowing look, and then took the noble girl next to her to enjoy the flowers.

Xu Jinglin's expression changed slightly.

What surprised me was not that the second prince had a side concubine, but that the side concubine turned out to be Cao Lan.

The two princes and the Cao Mansion faction are like fire and water, what does the emperor mean by giving marriage like this?

Thinking about Cao Lan and even that.

"Sister Xu," she smiled, "Lan'er didn't invite her, Sister Xu won't blame, right?" ”

Xu Jinglin smiled back, "Sister Cao is willing to come over, she is welcome." ”

"Sister Xu invited a banquet, even if she forgot to send a post to her sister," Cao Lan covered her mouth and smiled, "My sister is also coming." ”

The story of Cao Lan and Xu Jinglin had already spread all over the circle of nobles of the family, and when they saw her coming, the nobles who enjoyed the flowers in the garden all approached quietly and listened with their ears up.

Xu Jinglin smiled and did not respond.

Cao Lan said again, "My sister is going to leave the pavilion in a few days, and before my sister enters the house, I always have to come to add makeup to my sister, and when I enter the house in the future, I have to rely on my sister to take care of her." ”

The people around him changed color when they heard this.

What does Cao Lan mean by this......

For a moment there was a whisper in the garden.

Xu Jinglin's eyes widened slightly in surprise, "What Sister Cao said about entering the mansion is the second prince's mansion?" My sister hasn't heard of it. ”

Cao Lan's face was flushed, and she hung her head slightly, "The will has not been announced yet, my sister is just thinking about coming to add makeup to my sister, so I ......"

"Since the will has not been made public," Xu Jinglin suddenly turned pale and rebuked softly, "How can Sister Cao be bold and presumptuous and speculate on the holy will." ”

When Cao Lan heard this, her face turned pale and her body trembled slightly.

She came to Xu Mansion today because Cao Mansion finally asked the emperor to nod and was willing to give a decree to show off the marriage a few days ago.

It's okay for the noble girl to talk about these things in private.

But in the end, Xu Jinglin was not wrong, the holy decree did not arrive at Cao's mansion for a day, and her declaration outside could indeed be regarded as speculation about the holy will.

Cao Lan looked at the nobles who were gradually scattering around, and could only admit her mistake, "It's my sister's gaffe, please don't blame my sister." ”

Xu Jinglin pulled her lips, "It's not right for Sister Cao to say this, this matter has nothing to do with my sister, and my sister can't afford to blame or not." ”

"Now that we're here, let's enjoy the flowers and gossip," she smiled, "don't feel uncomfortable." ”

Cao Lan's face became more and more embarrassed.

Jiang Shuqi saw everything in his eyes, and his heart set off turbulent waves.

hasn't figured out how to deal with Xu Jinglin, and there is such a side concubine as Cao Lan, if she really wants to marry into the Second Prince's Mansion, what identity can she have?

Cao Lan was arrogant in her eyes, Xu Jinglin fought back quietly, could she really handle it?
