Qingyun looked at the several ladies sitting around the stone table. They were all wives of various officials. They spoke impeccably and showed their matronly demeanor. Her own mother was also full of momentum.

One of the ladies said: "While we are talking here, let these little ones play by themselves. They can't stay with us all the time. That would be boring."

"Yes, yes, you can go and play by yourself, no need to accompany me," another lady agreed.

"Then let Ruochu take them for a walk."

The voice of the fifth princess came from behind. "My wife (my daughter) has met His Highness Five." Everyone saluted.

Yan Yusen chuckled, "Everyone, get up. There's no need to be so polite. Just be more casual."

"Yes" everyone stood up.

Although Yan Yusen said this, it does not mean that he will do it, and he is not stupid.

Qingyun secretly looked at Yan Yusen. Yan Yusen was wearing a goose-yellow brocade dress, a gold peony headband, and a gold necklace around her neck. Even the bracelets were made of gold, which looked a bit dazzling under the sunlight.

In comparison, the girl next to her was much plainer, wearing a plain white gauze skirt and a silver hairpin, which was too plain.

"This is my husband's cousin. She is very smart and capable. Let her take the girls to go shopping." Yan Yusen pulled the girl next to him and introduced.

The girl listened to Yan Yusen's introduction without showing any timidity. She took a step forward and bowed her head, "Madam Ruochu, if you don't mind me, let Ruochu show you around."

"How can you dislike it? Then it will be troublesome for Miss Ruochu." Mrs. Shen reacted quickly.

"Go, don't worry, nothing will happen" Qing's mother patted Qingyun's hand and comforted her.

So a group of girls headed by Lin Ruochu were wandering in the garden.

Lin Ruochu smiled and said: "You are sister Qingyun, right? I have always heard of you, but I never see you attending banquets. Are you unhappy?"

Oh, how could I be so unlucky? I originally wanted to be invisible, but I can’t do that now.

I was panicking on the inside, but on the outside I was smiling, "I was too young before and didn't understand the rules. I was afraid of making people unhappy so I didn't want to come out."

Lin Ruochu: "That's it. Sister Qingyun is so cute, how can it make people unhappy? My sister is so humble."

Other noble ladies responded, all of whom had lower official positions than the prime minister, "Yes, yes, sister Qingyun is so cute, we all like her".

Qingyun complained in her heart, "I like Mao. When we first met, we didn't even say a word. Is it okay to just say that we like her?" Scumbag.

Qingyun smiled brightly at everyone but did not respond.

"Tch, what are you talking about?"

Li Shumiao, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs, was disdainful.

"That's right, if you don't know, you really think you are loved by everyone." Meng Zhiyuan rolled her eyes.

The concubine of the Meng family in the Duke's mansion, and the concubine of Meng Zirou.

Qingyun responded with a smile: "As expected of the Grand Master's granddaughter, this education is really unmatched by other noble girls."

After saying this, a noble lady covered her lips and smiled softly. Didn't this just mean that Meng Zhiyuan was uneducated? And he also brought the grand master with him. At first, it was said that the grand master did not teach his granddaughter well. At worst, it was said that the grand master could not even teach his own granddaughter well. How could he teach other princes?

"What do you mean, you..." Meng Zhiyuan obviously didn't realize the meaning of Qingyun's words, but knew that they were definitely not good words, and he was a little angry.

"Zhiyuan, please don't be rude to sister Qingyun." Meng Zirou interrupted Meng Zhiyuan and apologized to Qingyun: "My aunt is not disciplined well. My sister is still young and made a slip of the tongue. I hope sister Qingyun will not care about it."

Qingyun: "Miss Meng is wrong. I am the only daughter in the family, but I have no elder sister. Moreover, Meng Zhiyuan is older than me. How could she make a mistake because of a small mistake?"

Meng Zirou was still so powerful that she left Meng Zhiyuan's upbringing issues to her biological mother so as not to harm the Grand Master.

Meng Zirou's smile did not change, "Miss Qing said it was Zirou who went beyond."

Qingyun was surprised that Meng Zirou's rank had become higher. Lin Ruochu watched them fighting secretly and did not say anything to stop them.

In terms of family background, she may be the lowest among them. Although she is the cousin of the consort, her father is only a small county magistrate, so she cannot afford to offend anyone here.

Unknowingly, everyone arrived at a creek. There were many willow trees planted along the creek, and there were seats under the trees. A creek divided the courtyard into two sides, one for the male guests and the other for the female guests.

Although Tianyuan Kingdom does not have many restrictions on women, it does not mean that they can sit together.

The willow trees are sprouting new buds, and the breeze is supporting the willows. The scenery is still good.

Seeing the young master across the stream, the girls here had blushed and covered their faces with handkerchiefs shyly. The male guests opposite also noticed this and looked over here from time to time.

Qingyun looked a little speechless. Has she never seen a man before?

"Hey, isn't this Miss Qing? How can you be interested in attending the banquet today?"

Qingyun was silent. It was endless, right? She looked resentfully at the speaker. It was Chu Yi, and Chu Yan was also there.

"Second brother" Chu Qin called to Chu Yi, and Chu Yi nodded to Chu Qin.

Continuing to stare at Qingyun with unkind eyes, Chu Qin raised her chin to show off to Qingyun.

Show off your hair, Qing Xiao is not here, he is not dead. Qingyun wanted to roll her eyes.

Chu Yi was very angry when Qingyun ignored him, and said angrily: "Qingyun, can't you hear me when I'm talking to you?".

Qingyun took out her ears and said casually: "Oh~, isn't this Second Young Master Chu? What are you shouting? I'm too far away and I didn't hear you. Why don't you shout again?"

There was a burst of ridicule from the other side. Everyone knew what it meant. This was because Chu Yi was being treated like a dog.

"You..., you are not allowed to laugh, you are not allowed to laugh." Chu Yi's face turned red.

It made him look bad in front of so many noble ladies, which made his eyes look even more vicious when he saw Qingyun.

"How could Miss Qing say such things about Mr. Chu? He only meant well." Li Shumiao, who had been ignored just now, jumped out again.

Chu Qin also accused Qingyun, "Yes, my second brother just cares about you, how could you be so evil?"

Qingyun: "Do you want this kindness to you? Miss Li is so protective of Mr. Chu, but you never see him caring about you."

Li Shumiao's face turned red instantly, and she stammered: "I... How can I defend him? I'm just telling the truth."

"Ah, yes, yes," Qingyun started to get angry.

"You...you..." Li Shumiao didn't say anything for a long time.

"Qingyun, don't bully sister Shumiao." Chu Qin protected Li Shumiao behind her.

"Qingyun, that's all you do to me, how can you bully Miss Li?" Chu Yi also pointed at Qingyun angrily.

"You two saw me bullying her with your eyes. Didn't I agree with her?" Qingyun became impatient and looked worried.

"Okay, I don't know if Miss Qing bullied Miss Li, but it's really out of character for Mr. Chu to treat a little girl like this."

Zhao Wumian stopped him. He didn't want to cause problems at his family's banquet. With a legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace and a legitimate son of a Minister of Rites, it was obvious who could offend and who couldn't be offended. Moreover, this incident happened because of Chu Yi, so he disliked the Chu family even more.

"What the consort said is that my younger brother was rude. He will bring a gift to the Prime Minister's Mansion to apologize to Miss Qing later."

Chu Yan said to Zhao Wumian with an apologetic look, if Zhao Wumian was just the consort, there would be nothing to be afraid of, but Zhao Wumian was still the second son of the Minister of Rites, so he must apologize seriously.

Hearing Chu Yan's words, Chu Yi disagreed very much, and was suppressed by Chu Yan's eyes so that he did not dare to speak.

Zhao Wumian admired Chu Yan's awareness of current affairs, nodded and replied: "Yeah."

Qingyun raised her hand to Zhao Wumian. After all, he was speaking for her, and Zhao Wumian returned the gesture.
