Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

She had rashes all over her body, which was no small matter for a girl.

It would be fine if it was just a few days of discomfort, but what would happen if my face was disfigured in the future?

"How could this happen?" Old Madam Xu was terrified and asked hurriedly, "What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said it might be a seasonal rash and has already prescribed a decoction for me."

"Oh! What should I do? The Hundred Flowers Banquet will be held in a few days."

Xu Wanlin explained to Xu Xingyin amid the sigh of Old Madam Xu.

"The Hundred Flowers Banquet is a flower-viewing banquet held every year in the capital. Although it is called flower-viewing in name, the flowers that are admired are actually mortal flowers. Every year, the Hundred Flowers Banquet is a place where officials and noble ladies in the capital compete with each other for beauty."

"Competing for beauty?"

"Of course not. Talented men and beautiful women all hope to show up at the annual Hundred Flowers Banquet."

Xu Wanlin said, and pouted at Xu Wanmian, "Look, our third sister was named a talented woman at the Hundred Flowers Banquet a few years ago."

Tsk, even though Xu Wanlin can be considered Xu Xingyin’s ally now, Xu Xingyin has to admit that Xu Wanlin is really sour.

Xu Wanyan said, "Our third sister is just a bully in the crab hole. Isn't she always defeated by Yang Mingxue?"

Upon hearing Yang Mingxue's name, the usually taciturn Xu Wanru actually spoke.

"Sister Yang's poetry is indeed very good. There is no one else like her in the whole capital."

"..."

Xu Xingyin curled his lips and said nothing.

She didn't know if it was because she had heard too many bad things about Yang Mingxue at the Zhennan General's Mansion, but she didn't have the slightest fondness for this talented woman who was famous far and wide.

Old Madam Xu interrupted the younger generations at the right time, looked at Xu Xingyin and spoke slowly.

"Yes, the Hundred Flowers Banquet is a grand feast that all the noble ladies in the capital must attend. Since the Seventh Girl is back, she will naturally go out for a walk this year."

Xu Wanfeng, who was alone at the side, smiled and said, "Yes, Seventh Sister, let's go with you this year."

Listen, what Xu Wanfeng said is really unfair.

Xu Xingyin is the legitimate daughter of Duke Xu, and logically should be the most noble girl in the mansion.

But after Xu Wanfeng said this, she seemed like a little follower.

Xu Xingyin was not annoyed and replied with a faint smile.

"Grandmother is right. Now that I am back, I will naturally go to the occasions that I should go to. It's just that I have just returned to Beijing, and I am not as familiar with you sisters. This time, I will go with my fourth sister to get familiar with it, and I will definitely not bring disgrace to the reputation of the Duke's Mansion."

Xu Wanlin cooperated by covering her lips and laughing softly, "Seventh sister is smart, grandma is not worried."

Xu Wanfeng didn't understand the deeper meaning behind Xu Xing's hidden words, but Old Madam Xu did.

By stepping on and praising at the same time, he gave face to Xu Wanlin and also paid tribute to Xu Wanfeng.

According to the ranking in the family, Xu Wanfeng is the oldest girl, but Xu Xingyin skipped the ranking and directly called out Xu Wanlin's name.

The second and third rooms are both legitimate branches, and Xu Wanlin and Xu Xingyin are the legitimate daughters of the two rooms. These two people standing together are the most orthodox legitimate daughters.

Xu Xingyin's words clearly showed that he did not classify Xu Wanfeng into the circle of the direct descendants, and he was indirectly saying that Xu Wanfeng was not worthy of taking her with him!

Thinking of this, Old Madam Xu couldn't help but sigh, and felt that Xu Wanfeng was becoming more and more stupid.

He is not even half as smart as others, yet he still comes to be scolded. It is really...

madness!

Old Madam Xu was too lazy to speak for Xu Wanfeng. She just twirled her Buddhist beads and asked everyone to leave.

Finally, he reminded everyone to make good preparations before the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

As soon as they left Funing Courtyard, the girls gathered together without any restraint, Xu Wanyan whispered.

"There are always some outstanding girls in the capital. We are tired of seeing them every year. I heard Ah Qi mentioned a good place where we can see the men's banquet. Why don't we go and take a look secretly this year?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Wanru's face turned red and she responded stutteringly.

"Is this...isn't this bad?"

Xu Wanyan had guessed early on that Xu Wanru would have such an attitude. She curled her lips and turned her gaze to the other two.

"Where are the fourth and seventh sisters?"

Just as Xu Xingyin was about to shake his head, Xu Wanlin at the side took the lead.

"If you want to go, we can accompany you, but you must remember not to drink at the banquet, otherwise you will have a hard time explaining yourself when you come back."

"Sure!" Xu Wanyan agreed readily.

After Xu Wanlin said this, Xu Xingyin naturally had nothing to say.

After walking for a while, they went their separate ways and returned to their respective residences.

Upon learning that Xu Xingyin was going to the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the happiest person was probably Chen.

She happily invited people from the tailor shop to come into the mansion to make clothes for the girls in the mansion to wear to the banquet, and she also picked out several sets of headwear from the dowry box and gave them to Xu Xingyin.

Xu Xingyin's dressing table had already been filled to the brim by Chen, but she didn't want to reject Chen's kindness, so she chose a set of red coral and kept it, and returned the rest intact.

Chen didn't force it, and a few days later she asked someone to deliver a collection of poems.

Xu Xingyin opened it and flipped through it, only then did he discover the difference of this collection of poems.

It would be more appropriate to call it a collection of cheating rather than a collection of poems.

This rule exists not only in the capital, but also among aristocratic families in Jiangnan.

Since noble ladies often need to go out to attend banquets, where they have to recite poems and compose couplets, some noble ladies who are not good at poetry will have a few poems of average quality prepared for them in advance in case of emergency.

To put it bluntly, the girl in the family is not very talented and well-educated, and the aristocratic family cannot afford to lose face in front of such a person, so they found a way to cheat.

Xu Xingyin knew that Chen was doing this for her own good, fearing that she would be embarrassed when she first arrived in the capital, but...

Others may need it, but Xu Xingyin doesn’t want it!

After all, stolen things are not yours, right?

Thinking of this, Xu Xingyin threw the poetry collection aside and continued reading his own storybook.

The beautiful flowers of April have faded away, and when the flowers are in full bloom, the long-awaited Hundred Flowers Banquet has finally arrived as scheduled.

In order to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Xu Wanmian and Xu Wanjie, who were suffering from "seasonal rash", were really in trouble.

He had to drink three bowls of bitter medicine every day, and only then did he recover and make it in time for this year's Hundred Flowers Banquet.

On the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, all the women in the mansion were dressed up in their best clothes. It is said that Xu Wanmian's room was lit up at the very beginning, and they tried their best to look their best.

On the other hand, if Dangui had not been thinking about this matter and prepared all the necessary items early in the morning and then pulled her out of bed, Xu Xingyin would have almost forgotten about it completely.
