"Your Highness, the Chief Secretary has brought the palace guards and carriages to the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion to pick up the Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Young Misses."

Xiao Ye was very satisfied when he heard the steward clearly say which girls they were.

Xiao Ye jumped off the carriage and turned around to help Yuntang down.

However, Yuntang got off the carriage with just a light jump, glanced at him indifferently, and then walked leisurely into the mansion with his hands in his sleeves.

Xiao Ye hurriedly jogged to catch up.

As soon as you enter the Chuihua Gate, you can hear loud laughter not far away. It turns out that a group of young boys and girls are having a snowball fight in the open space.

The people from the Shangshufang and the South City Academy were divided into two camps, and were having a great time throwing snowballs back and forth. From time to time, one could hear someone screaming in pain and someone laughing triumphantly.

Seeing them, the two groups that were about to fight stopped immediately, and several people ran towards them.

There are Xiao Jian and Xiao Hong, as well as the brothers of the Jiang family who are studying at the South City Academy.

Behind them are Zhou Tianzuo, Zhou Zhenyou, Zhang Chengwei, Zhang Chengan, Chen Junyi, Lin Shenxing and others, all of whom are Xiao Ye’s best friends.

There were also some who were invited by Xiao Ye through a post, as well as some who came from other families who received the post and wanted to establish connections.

Those people quickly tidied up their clothes which had become a little messy due to the snowball fight, and then slowly walked over and saluted with their fists.

"I have met His Highness the Third Prince!"

"No need to be so polite!" Xiao Ye waved his hand casually.

Then he smiled and glanced at the side, saying: "This is my prince's junior uncle, the daughter of the Yong'an Marquis's mansion, you can call her Little Taoist Master!"

Those young men hadn't yet digested the term "Little Uncle-Master" when they heard them being called "Little Taoist Priest". They all had dazed expressions.

"Little Taoist, don't pay attention to these idiots. It's cold outside. Let's go sit in the pavilion over there."

Xiao Ye's older cousin Zhang Chengwei quickly offered a solution when he saw the situation.

He naturally understood the helplessness of these people. At the family reunion banquet that day, they also quickly made a choice between the Junior Uncle and the Junior Taoist Priest.

"Little Taoist!" Then several people said in unison and made a clever choice.

Seeing this, Chen Junyi, Lin Shenxing and others all breathed a sigh of relief. Since everyone was calling him Little Taoist, they were no longer embarrassed.

After all... Little Taoist (Junior Master) is only thirteen years old.

Among those present, only Zhou Zhenyou is thirteen years old and Zhang Chengan is fourteen years old. The others are all fifteen or above.

A young man’s face is also face!

However, after all, they already had the experience of learning Taoism on the day of the family recognition banquet, so they were more natural when facing Yuntang again.

Yuntang noticed that Xiao Ye was enthusiastically introducing friends to her again.

She didn't want to reject her nephew's kindness, so she responded to everyone's enthusiasm patiently.

Everyone stopped playing snowballs and walked into the pavilion.

Today Xiao Ye only invited these playmates. The four sisters from Yong'an Marquis' Mansion were invited by Yuntang at his request.

Therefore, there were no female guests in the mansion at this time...

However, just as they sat down in the pavilion and had their hot tea and snacks served, they saw several noble ladies hurried over, surrounded by their maids.

"Cousin Ye!" one of the girls shouted crisply, her voice full of complaints.

"I heard that you invited the girls from the second and third rooms of Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. Why didn't you invite them?"

Yuntang didn’t recognize any of the people who came in together.

She picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then put it down and looked at a piece of precious jade cake and started eating it casually.

It seems that he is not going to pay any attention to these people.

Xiao Ye glared at the girl unhappily, stole a glance at Yun Tang, and quickly explained:

"Today's banquet is held by me for Junior Master Uncle. Of course, I will invite the sisters from Junior Master Uncle's family."

"You are my cousin. You never handed in a letter when you came to the mansion. Why are you being so pretentious today?"

Xiao Ye's words were a little impolite, but one could tell from his tone that he had a very close relationship with his maternal grandparents' family.

However, speaking so bluntly in front of so many people today, Zhang Chenxin's pretty face felt a little embarrassed.

Zhang Chenxin twisted her handkerchief and stamped her feet, aggrieved, "That's normal times, how can it be the same today!"

"Why is today different?"

Seeing that she was persistent and didn't consider the situation, making him lose face in front of his junior master, Xiao Ye's face suddenly turned ugly and he spoke even more impolitely.

"And if you guys are here, just go somewhere else. Why are you making trouble here where so many foreign men are?"

These words made the noble ladies blush and lower their heads.

They followed Zhang Chenxin here, of course, to have more opportunities to interact with the prince.

This prince is usually followed by a group of teenagers wherever he goes. He plays around freely and never interacts with them. How can he get to know them?

Although the prince has not yet chosen a concubine.

But at their age, their parents said that the Crown Prince, the Prince of Qi and the Third Prince were all ones they could look forward to and they would always be able to fight for a chance.

In the relationship between the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, the Marquis of Wuxin's Mansion, the Duke of Yue's Mansion and the two princesses' mansions.

They were about the same age as Zhang Chenxin, and they quickly became friends at the banquet and often visited each other on weekdays.

Sure enough, with Zhang Chenxin leading them, they were able to enter the Third Prince's Mansion without any hindrance even without an invitation, and they could move freely everywhere except the main courtyard where the Third Prince lived.

Just now, Zhang Chenxin learned that the third prince had returned home, and immediately brought them here.

I thought I could get what I wanted and leave a good reputation with the Third Prince, but I didn't expect that the cousins ​​were about to quarrel.

"Aren't these the people who often come and go in your house? Why can't I come over?"

Zhang Chenxin retorted unconvinced, and suddenly turned her gaze to the little Taoist priest who was sitting next to Xiao Ye and eating cakes.

"Besides, the little Taoist priest sitting next to you is the girl that Yong'an Marquis's Mansion just recognized, right?"

"If she can come with you, why can't we come?"

"Or is it that only the girls from Yong'an Marquis' Mansion have the honor to be with you, and that they asked you to send a special invitation?"

The fact that the daughter of Marquis Yong'an returned to Beijing to recognize her relatives, who were actually Taoist priests, had long been known to everyone in the capital.

Even if you haven't seen him before, you can recognize him by looking at his age and attire.

Seeing that she started making a fuss as soon as she came and even brought up her junior master uncle, Xiao Ye's face changed, he stood up and was about to speak.

Here, Zhang Chengwei was quick-witted and walked forward with a stern face, blocking Xiao Ye's anger.

Zhang Chengwei glared at Zhang Chenxi warningly.

Zhang Chenxin was not afraid of the usually good-tempered Xiao Ye, but was a little afraid of this elder brother. The rest of his words were muffled by his glare.

I just feel very aggrieved.

She excitedly brought her friends to the Third Prince's residence to play, but was scolded by the Third Prince and glared at by her own brother...

Seeing that Zhang Chenxin had shut up, Zhang Chengwei signaled the two maids following her to quickly drag her away.
