The legitimate daughter is reborn, her life is still with her

Some time ago, Zhou Jiaqing came up with this idea after learning about the pastries to be prepared at the banquet from Ji Chengxi.

In fact, no matter what the dish is, she will always propose the method of chilling the drinks in the ice cellar.

In the last life, a year or two later, a noble lady accidentally discovered that this method could relieve sweetness. For a time, it was very popular to pair pastries with iced drinks. From the palace to wealthy businessmen, everyone used this method to eat them together.

People don’t have ice cellars at home, but they can’t experience this!

And before every banquet, the host would try the dishes. Ji Chengxi accidentally mentioned this method when he was a guest at the eldest princess's house...

Zhou Jiaqing smiled slightly and looked at Zhou Jiayun and Li Yaxuan, who were across the table, his eyes moving slightly.

As soon as Ji Chengxi finished speaking, he saw a group of men walking in and taking their seats in front of the table arranged nearby. There was a narrow creek between them and the female family members.

The stream is very shallow, just enough to reach the calf. It sparkles in the sunshine and makes a gentle gurgling sound. The stream is crystal clear. I occasionally see a few small fish jumping in it. I am so unhappy, as if they also know that today there will be something. Happy things happen.

Looking towards the stream, the few men sitting in front of the strip table are the twins of Concubine De - the fifth prince and the eighth prince. The second prince was sent abroad by the emperor and was not in Da'an. To express his apology, he specially asked the seventh prince Xie Yuanren to come to the banquet for him.

In addition to the prince, two bachelors from the Hanlin Academy also came. They attend as judges every year!

What’s also strange is that there are two empty seats. I wonder who they belong to?

The lady at the next table asked in confusion: "Hey, who are these two seats reserved for?"

"One seat belongs to Duke Xu Guogong. It is like this every year. However, Duke Xu has not been here in the past few years. The eldest princess has always reserved the seat for him. I don't know if Duke Xu Guogong will come this year." The lady next to the eldest lady was enthusiastic and continued. He explained: "I don't know about the other vacant seat. There are just the same people every year. There is no way there will be an extra fourth prince this year."

Xie Yuanfu's status was so humble that the emperor didn't even take a look at him. Naturally, the eldest princess looked down upon him because she had never sent a message to him. Even the ladies attending the banquet mentioned it with disdain.

"When Duke Xu comes, I'm afraid all the 'butterflies' in the courtyard will chase him." Ji Chengxi blinked and said with a smile, "But I guess the other one is definitely not the fourth prince."

Duke Xu? Zhou Jiaqing was stunned, wondering if she had gone to Beiming Country now?

Soon Zhou Jiaqing stopped thinking about that and sipped the light fruit wine in the cup. Her eyes passed over Zhou Jiayun's face. At this time, she was also attracted by the low exclamations of the people around her. She was also very curious and couldn't help but pick up the cup. I took a small sip and found it delicious, so I drank a few more sips with the pastries.

"You're right." Seeing this, Zhou Jiaqing withdrew his gaze and agreed with Ji Chengxi with a smile.

When everyone arrived, Ming and the eldest princess announced the start of the painting competition. Since Princess Nan'an was obsessed with calligraphy and painting, the eldest princess sincerely invited ladies who like calligraphy and painting to show off their painting skills on the day of the birthday banquet. Two ladies from the Hanlin Academy were present at the male family banquet. The bachelor is the judge this time, and the princes play a role in supervising fairness.

Naturally, the princess prepares generous prizes every year to reward ladies with outstanding paintings.

The ladies were not willing to offend Princess Nan'an with the paintings, but the prizes given by the eldest princess at the annual banquet were surprisingly good, and the ladies who were used to seeing rare treasures couldn't help but yearn for them.

This year's prizes are still generous - they are Immortal Pillow, Yaoguang Ling, and Mu Nan.

Everything touches the hearts of ladies!

The ladies were moved by the prizes and left the table one by one to prepare for painting.

The eldest lady looked over worriedly. That day in the palace, she saw that Princess Nan'an didn't like anyone passing her. Today, the second oldest...

Then Princess Minghe asked: "Who is Miss Zhou Jiayun Zhou from the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion?"

The originally noisy garden fell silent for an instant, and Li Yaxuan quickly pushed Zhou Jiayun who was distracted beside her.

Zhou Jiayun stood up and replied obediently, "Back to the eldest princess, my little girl is Zhou Jiayun."

Seeing that she was a soft and frail little beauty with a gentle and pleasant aura, a glance from the male family members came over and said tentatively: "The soil and water of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion are very nurturing, and there is the eldest daughter in front of me. She has a reputation for talent, and is dignified and elegant. The second daughter continues her reputation as a talented woman, and is quiet and quiet. Now it seems that the first daughter of the second wife is very different from before. She is as delicate as water. I am afraid that in another year or two, the reputation of a talented woman will fall on her. Fifth brother and eighth brother, you are not married yet, what do you think of her?"

The fifth prince smiled faintly, said nothing, and looked away at the butterflies flying nearby.

He inherited Concubine De's temperament and was always calm, seldom spoke, and never talked about women outside. Therefore, there were not a few women in Da'an City who liked him.

No matter how you say it, the emperor's sons are all born with good skins, which make people blush just by looking at them. If they had a little more personality, it would be easy to charm the girl!

"Beauty is beautiful, but her status is inferior after all. She is not the daughter of Marquis Jing'an. If you really like it, taking her into the house and becoming a concubine is also a beautiful thing. For a person of this status, Seventh Brother, don't be confused. If you insist on letting her become the princess, doesn't this mean that you, the seventh prince, are only suitable for women of this status? Don't you think so, seventh brother?"

The person speaking was the fifth prince Xie Yuansong. Although he was not married, he was very romantic. He had a lot of concubines in the palace. Of course, for the position of head wife, he had to choose a woman whose status and strength matched him. Naturally, he felt that Zhou Jiayun's status was too low. .

The Seventh Prince paused after hearing this, and his smile was a little stiff. The probing meaning in his words just now was obvious, but the Eighth Prince kept saying "low status", which was just a hint that he was of low status and should not think about things he shouldn't think about!

There are so many women in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, but Concubine De has never set her sights on any woman in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, just because Zhou Jiayun is not worth mentioning.

The two daughters of the Marquis of Jing'an have special status. They are survived by their biological mother and stepmother. They are both from the Chen family, a frontier general, and the Zhao family, a general from Anyuan, who hold heavy troops. No matter which one they marry, they seem to be saying... , she has the intention to seize the direct descendant!

This status is like a woman's appearance. She must be beautiful in a moderate way. Too much appearance is a sin!

Zhou Jianing and Zhou Jiaqing's status is quite special in Da'an City. Having too much is not necessarily a good thing. Therefore, in this age group, it is rare for a young master to come to inquire about marriage proposals!

Therefore, even though Zhou Jiaqing made a splash at Pinghu Academy and attracted even more attention at the palace banquet, no prince showed interest!

They cannot and dare not!

Being born into the royal family means that even though one wants to be evenly matched and support each other, it is only appropriate for a prince to have more chips than a noble lady!
