“Your maid blocked my carriage, so I hit her!” Yu Linglong said coldly, with her pretty face raised . She looked at Princess Xinlin provocatively .

Princess Xinlin may have never experienced such a confrontation . She was suddenly so angry that her exquisite makeup could not conceal her anger: “Which young lady are you? How dare you speak to me like this!”

“I’m the Fourth Lady in General Yu’s Mansion, Yu Linglong!” Looking at Princess Xinlin’s beautiful eyes, Yu Linglong’s voice was threatening, “If you want to get revenge on me, do it anytime!”

“You, you—“ Princess Xinlin’s eyes were so wide that she was choked and couldn’t say a word .

Glancing at her impatiently, Yu Linglong turned on the steps and left Princess Xinlin onto the street ignoring her .

It was just a scuffle, and she still wanted to argue with her? She deserved to be choked to death!

The woman in charge of receiving guests saw the situation was not good, so she hurriedly greeted Princess Xinlin: “Why is the Princess here now? Madam Hou has been waiting for you for a long time, please come in soon!”

Princess Xinlin looked at Yu Linglong’s back and stomped her feet with anger . She pointed to her and said, “How could Madam Hou invite such an unruly person!? I don’t want to sit with her!”

The woman smiled and calmed Princess Xinlin: “Yes, the princess should not stand in the draft, please come this way . ”

Princess Xinlin’s anger remained unresolved, and she gave Yu Linglong a fierce look in her direction as she was leaving, and then walked with her maid into the mansion .

…

In the early summer, the back garden of the Changting Hou Mansion was full of Yingge willow green, and various exotic flowers and plants were about to bloom . The fragrance of flowers, the whispers of birds, and the gentle breeze rushed in, its fragrance intoxicating .

After all, it was the Hou Mansion, and the scenery was much better than the small garden at General Yu’s Mansion . Yu Linglong enjoyed the scenery, and the slight displeasure at the door was long gone .

If the dog bites a few times, do you still care about it?

The woman who led Yu Linglong into the mansion looked at Yu Linglong with worry . This Fourth Lady Yu had never appeared in the elite circle in the capital, and she had never heard of her . She never thought she was such a powerful character . Even before entering the door, she had a conflict with Princess Xinlin, and she was about to enter the banquet, where something else might happen .

After pa.s.sing a burning stick of incense, a large area of ​​colorful flowers appeared in front of them . They didn’t know who designed it . This forest was not composed of a single plant, but arrangements of flowers according to the flowering period, which was very original . At this time, the woods next to it were already blooming, verdant and lush . This large piece of expanse was surrounded by a circle of tall magnolia trees, in which planted in a staggered manner were camellia, purple magnolia, viburnum, begonia, peony, clove, rhododendron, hibiscus, forsythia, and other flowers of various colors . The large magnolia flowers fell quietly, like clouds and rain, mixed in the layers of falling flowers of all colors . It was simply a sea of ​​flowers .

In the middle of the flower garden was an open s.p.a.ce, in which were three pinewood rectangular tables . At this time, the banquet had not yet started . There were only various melons, fruits, cakes, and teas on the tables . There were more than a dozen well-dressed ladies . While waiting for the mistress to arrive, these young ladies were sitting and chatting with tea, or reciting and singing poetry under the flowers, and they were actually very elegant .

The woman smiled and said to Yu Linglong: “Fourth Lady Yu, please wait a moment . Madam Hou and Miss Hou will be here soon . You will be seated first . ”

Yu Linglong nodded and took a seat with few people .

Although she didn’t know what the purpose of Mrs . Changting Hou’s invitation was, just to see these blooming flowers was a worthwhile trip . Such a beautiful scene was rarely seen even in modern times .

Yu Linglong had never been to such an occasion . Naturally, someone came over to chat with her curiously . Seeing Yu Linglong, a girl with a round face at the same table turned her head and asked: “Which house are you from? How come I’ve never seen you before?”

Following her reputation, Yu Linglong saw the girl was 13 or 14 years old . She was slightly chubby, and her round eyes were looking at her curiously, and she knew that she was a lively and cheerful girl .

Seeing that Yu Linglong did not answer, the girl introduced herself with a smile: “My name is s.h.i.+ Huiru, and my father is s.h.i.+ Shuzheng of Guanglu Temple . How about you?”

Everyone reported their family, and Yu Linglong did not want to keep her face sullen, so she replied faintly: “My name is Yu Linglong, I belong to General Yu’s Mansion and rank fourth . ”

Hearing her speak, the other girl on the table turned her head . A pair of slanted eyes glanced at Yu Linglong, and she said, “The Fourth Lady of the Yu family? Your lady’s surname is Mu, right?”

Yu Linglong’s mood dropped when she mentioned Mu s.h.i.+ . She grumbled, and she didn’t want to speak anymore .

The girl didn’t seem to see Yu Linglong’s face, and she still asked nonchalantly, “Doesn’t Mrs . Yu only have one daughter? If I remember correctly, she was to be ranked sixth?”

Yu Linglong said coldly: “I’m a concubine’s daughter . ”

The voice was not loud, but it attracted the attention of everyone at the table, and several young ladies who were sitting a little farther spoke in low voices .

Those who were invited by Mrs . Changting Hou were all ladies from important families . They were first wives, they had outstanding status, or they were good-looking, or proficient in poetry and literature, or good at music or painting, but what was this Fourth Lady Yu?

The young lady with slanted eyes curled her lips with a look of disdain . She turned her head and stopped talking about Yu Linglong .

s.h.i.+ Huiru didn’t seem to care much about Yu Linglong’s status as the daughter of a concubine, and she smiled and said, “Linglong is such a lovely name, how old are you?”

Yu Linglong thought for a while and said, “Fourteen years old . ”

It had taken her several days to adapt to her new ident.i.ty as a fourteen-year-old . In modern times, girls of this age are still in middle school, right? But here she was, socializing with these young ladies .

s.h.i.+ Huiru smiled and said: “You’re the same age as me . What month is your birthday?”

Yu Linglong really didn’t want to talk to s.h.i.+ Huiru, who was checking her account . Fortunately, there was a voice: “Third Lady!”

s.h.i.+ Huiru’s eyes lit up suddenly, and she almost jumped up, and said hurriedly to Yu Linglong: “The mistress is here, let me have a look first!”

After speaking, without waiting for Yu Linglong’s answer, she walked over there quickly .

Yu Linglong looked in the direction she was leaving and saw a tall girl with a long face walking over slowly . She was surrounded by several young ladies like stars around the moon . s.h.i.+ Huiru seemed to be very familiar with that girl . She ran over and grabbed her, and her voice was so high that Yu Linglong, who was far away, could hear her clearly .

“Yunzheng, is your brother at the mansion today?”

In one sentence, she asked the question that was on so many young ladies’ minds . Everyone looked at Yang Yunzheng with eagerness .
