After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

The grand ceremony of the eldest princess was far from the small-scale daughter banquet held by Shen Cunzhu in the past. After going around the sloping mountain path, they came to an open area. Along the slightly undulating terrain, all over the mountains and plains, there were blooming flowers and fragrant trees, gorgeous as clouds.

Amid the gorgeous flowers, maids and palace maids were walking back and forth, with their hair tangled in the fragrance of the wind.

Looking a little further away, there is a dense green screen. Milky white curtains are hung on the staggered trees, nearly two people high. It is the barrier that separates male and female guests.

The overly rich fragrance impacted the senses of the visitors. Ning'er and Lu Kui sighed as they walked: "The fragrance in this garden seems to be natural, but in fact it is ingenious. I really don't know how much effort it took."

Lu Kui smiled and said, "The eldest princess is extremely wealthy, and few in the world can match her. She also likes luxury, so this is nothing to her."

The two of them only brought one servant each, so they spoke without reservation. Ning'er asked curiously, "Lord Lu, are you familiar with Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Lu Kui shook his head and reminded, "Young Master, watch your step." He then replied, "I have only met her a few times. The eldest princess is the beloved daughter of the late emperor and was born a superior person. She doesn't think highly of us desperate outlaws who kill and fight."

Ning Er laughed: "From Lord Lu's tone, he doesn't like the princess very much."

Lu Kui said, "I really don't like her very much, but she is your Majesty's sister, so we have to show her some superficial respect." He casually picked a white jade-like white flower and handed it to Ning'er to play with.

Ning'er took the flower, put it to her nose and sniffed it gently. The fragrance was cool and rich, refreshing: "It smells good." She asked curiously: "Your Majesty and the eldest princess are siblings, so is your Majesty's temperament similar to that of the eldest princess?"

Lu Kui was stunned. Just as he was wondering, two smart and capable followers came up to greet him: "Dear guests, please come this way."

Seeing strangers coming, Ning'er was visibly nervous. Lu Kui swallowed the words on his lips and nodded to the two people, "Lead the way."

He took out a folding fan from his bosom, gently placed it on Ning'er's shoulder, and whispered, "Don't be afraid. Anyone who sees you will just think you are a weak young man."

After he finished speaking, he unfolded the folding fan. It had an ebony handle and a gold-painted surface, with a painting of two girls playing with butterflies on it, and a crystal cicada pendant hanging from it. With a turn of his wrist, he handed the fan to Ning'er.

She grasped the handle of the fan and fanned it twice before she heard a gentle male voice praising, "What an exquisite bone-gathering fan. It doesn't look like something from the capital, but rather something from Shu."

When Ning Er looked up, she saw a young man wearing a golden crown, looking at her with a smile. He bowed and said, "I'm sorry for being rude. I don't know what to call this young man, young man?"

Ning Er, who was a little nervous at first, calmed down inexplicably when she heard the words "young brother". She tapped the door lightly, put away her folding fan, and smiled, "It turns out to be Brother Chu. My surname is Ning."

She looked around and found that a small banquet had been set up here. A dozen people were sitting around the clear pond. All of them were young men over 20 years old. There were one or two young men with half-undressed hair. Two beautiful maids were kneeling beside them, cross-legged and playing the zither.

Lu Kui clapped his hands and said, "The sound of the piano is gentle, and the water is gurgling. Brother Chu really knows how to relax."

The young master surnamed Chu led the two to sit down, and a maid brought forward tea and wine. He raised his cup and smiled to those around him, "Aunt is so honored. In the past, we could not invite Lord Lu to honor us no matter how hard we tried, but we didn't expect to meet here today."

Lu Kui raised his cup, drank it all, and said with a smile: "No, no, I am just accompanying the guests today." As he said that, he took the fruit wine in front of Ning'er and said: "Our young master is weak and can't stand such cold wine. I drank it for him. I hope you don't blame me."

Chu Yue raised his eyebrows in surprise. Who was this unfamiliar young man that Lu Kui would condescend to personally accompany him and drink for him?

But then again, today is a public banquet hosted by the Princess and the British, and I think ordinary people would not even be allowed to enter the door.

He smiled and said, "This wine is excellent. Since Brother Lu wants to drink it for me, he should drink three cups in a row."

Ning Er was about to open her mouth to stop him, but Lu Kui had already filled his cup again, drank it all up, and asked with a smile, "Brother Chu, are you satisfied with this?"

Chu Yue laughed and said, "Of course I am satisfied. It's been a long time since we last met, and Lord Lu is still so straightforward." He smiled and looked at Ning'er, "Mr. Ning is so smart and talented. It's a great honor to meet you today. Chu will toast with you for three cups."

After saying this, he ordered the maid to bring a larger cup. After filling it up, he drank three cups in a row before asking, "I have never seen Master Ning in the capital before. Could it be that Brother Ning is from Shu?"

Lu Kui was about to help Ning Er out, but she opened her fan, waved it gently, and said with a smile, "No, I am from the capital, but I left home when I was young and practiced outside for a long time. Now that I am thirteen years old, I have been released and returned to the capital. That's why I have never met you brothers."

Lu Kui looked at her calmly, thinking, this must be an excuse that His Majesty taught the girl, otherwise, given Ning'er's innocence, how could she lie without blushing or beating her heart? Just looking at her calm and composed appearance, if he didn't know about it, he would probably have been kept in the dark by her.

Chu Yue was even more fond of the mysterious Mr. Ning because he was eloquent and well-spoken. He nodded and said, "No wonder. I think Mr. Ning looks handsome and extraordinary, but he is too thin. I think it is because of his seclusion."

Ning Er smiled but didn't answer. Seeing that she handled the situation well, Lu Kui felt relieved. He raised his hand to call the servant standing by and asked casually, "I wonder when the banquet will be held today and where it will be held?"

The servant clearly heard his question, but he did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked straight behind him, his eyes getting wider and wider, and finally he fell to his knees and said respectfully, "The master is here!"

Lu Kui turned around and saw Lou Qi running towards him with sweat all over his forehead. He was relieved at first, then he hurriedly held his arm and asked anxiously: "Master Lu, why are you here alone?" He reminded him cryptically: "Where is that noble man?"

Lu Kui was startled at first, then burst into laughter. He pushed and twisted his hands, taking Lou Qi around in a circle, and then pointed at Ning'er, who was sitting among the young masters in men's clothing and talking and laughing calmly, and said, "Lord Lou, take a good look, who is this?"

Lou Qi took a closer look and almost dropped his jaw in shock. He confirmed it several times in disbelief: "This, this, this is..."

At this time, Ning Er had already stood up with a smile, and bowed to Lou Qi in a standard manner, saying with a smile: "Lou Gongye, you are here."

Lou Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly said, "My Ning, Master Ning, why did you come here without even saying hello?"

Before Duke Yingguo finished speaking, Chu Yue's eyes suddenly fixed and his pupils shrank slightly.

He didn't care about how much money Ning'er was worth, including the jade crown and brocade robe she was wearing from head to toe. Instead, he stared at the white jade Qilin pendant tied around his waist.
