The courtyard house in the Anping Marquis Palace was originally the courtyard house of the former dynasty's Grand Eunuch Wang Zheng. However, after the overthrow of the former dynasty's tyrannical government, this man was able to kill the Grand Eunuch Wang Zheng's house. It was only when the First Emperor recognized the old Marquis for his merits that the house, which had been unoccupied for more than a hundred years, found its owner.

Back then, the house of the Marquis was as poor as a pauper. After that, the Anping Marquis established a meritorious service, with the addition of the marriage sister Prime Minister's Mansion, the rejuvenation of the Liu clan, and the entry of the clan sister Song Ning Lan into the palace, the Anping Marquis Palace became extremely popular, and the carriages and horses flowed like water as if dragons were flowing.

Even though she was born with Prime Minister's Mansion, Chu Jinfu couldn't help but to exclaim in surprise when she saw this. However, she quickly retracted her expression, and instead revealed a disdainful look in the corner of her eyes, "I'm afraid that others might not know of my own family's shameful affairs, it's really shameful of me."

To put it nicely, this was Song Lingyue's engagement banquet, but who didn't know where this marriage came from? Lady Liu wholeheartedly wanted to give her daughter face, but she didn't want to make the people who knew the inside information even more disdainful.

Chu Qinghuan smiled slightly. It seemed that Chu Jinfu was really something abnormal, but somehow, they seemed to have become so close to him in an instant, like a mother coming out from the womb. Chu Qinghuan still had some doubts in her heart, but she did not know why Chu Jinfu suddenly became like that, but she was not an enemy, so it was not bad.

"Loving the heart of a woman is always good."

Chu Jinfu coldly snorted upon hearing this, and said, "Relying on the Empress' family members and the Xian Consort in the palace, I wonder who the First Prince and Sixth Prince will help if they ever fight for the throne in the future."

Chu Qinghuan could not help but be taken aback, that was true, and she asked as her thoughts moved: "Fifth Sister, have you ever seen Sixth Prince before?"

She remembered that in her previous life, the Sixth Prince had an elegant name and didn't participate in the fight for the throne. Chu Jinfu didn't seem to have any connections with him.

Hearing that, Chu Jinfu acted as if she had met something dirty, she said with disdain: "Luckily I don't know him." She wasn't the eldest sister, and couldn't wait for all the princes to bow down to her.

Those who didn't know about this, would think that the Fifth Miss and the Sixth Prince had a deep grudge. Chu Qinghuan smiled slightly. Just as he and Chu Jinfu were about to enter the residence, they heard a burst of soft sighs from behind them, "If Lil 'Six really dares to offend Fifth Miss, I'll make him beg for forgiveness tomorrow."

The voice was gentle and polite, without a hint of arrogance. One could only imagine the gentleness of the voice: First Prince Huangfu Jing!

Chu Qinghuan gently closed her eyes, and her butterfly shaped eyelashes trembled slightly. At the moment, Chu Jinfu, who was at the side, was shocked by the person who had arrived, and did not notice anything strange about her.

The First Prince was the eldest son, and although the First Prince did not follow the rules of "the son cannot grow up, and the son cannot grow up", Huangfu Jing had a good reputation, and was the best candidate to succeed the throne. But in his previous life, wasn't he the successor to the throne, even though he was poisoned to death later on?

While Chu Jinfu was still in shock, Chu Qinghuan had already recovered from her shock, and pulled her hand and greeted: "This subject greets the First Prince."

After all, it was rude for him to eavesdrop on the young miss. The moment he saw the two of them turn around, the First Prince widened his eyes and could not believe what he was seeing.

That face could not be called a peerless beauty. At the very least, it was not as beautiful as the young miss of the Prime Minister's face. But those slightly trembling eyelashes, those gently drooping eyes, they were clearly the person he had met in his dreams.

"Big brother, big brother, what's wrong?"

The voice that rang beside his ears jolted the First Prince back to his senses. Looking at the two people who were still bowing down, he hurriedly extended his arms in an attempt to support them. But then, thinking that it would be against the rules, he supported them and said, "There's no need for the two of you to be so courteous." With that, he looked at the people around him, his expression at ease, "Sixth Brother, why are you so late, aren't you afraid that Aunt will scold you?"

Sixth Prince laughed indifferently, as a trace of disapproval could be seen on his face: "First Royal Brother is just spouting nonsense. Aunt doted on me the most, so how can she scold me? "Prime Minister Chu is blessed, her five daughters are all beauties of the country, I'm so envious of them."

Chu Qinghuan laughed bashfully when she heard this. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw a hint of a cloud rising over Chu Jinfu's face, and she could not help but sigh in her heart: The sons of Xuan Wu are all talented people, each with their own merits. Besides the two people in front of him, the First Prince Huangfu Jing was naturally intelligent, gentle and refined, only that he had never been close to a woman.

"Alright, alright, alright. Everything is under your control." The First Prince laughed helplessly, seemingly full of doting towards this little brother of his. After he finished speaking, he looked towards Chu Qinghuan and Chu Qinghuan, and said gently: "This engagement banquet has some time left. I heard that the Anping Marquis Palace's scenery is unique, I wonder if the two misses are interested in it?"

His gaze basically fell on Chu Qinghuan's body, as he was unaware of how abnormal his actions were compared to his usual behavior of not being close to women, by the side, Huangfu Yu was secretly surprised. However, Chu Qinghuan was unable to say what he felt in his heart.

The person in front of her was no stranger. She had personally poisoned her husband in her previous life. She's the one who's the most sorry for her in this world. Even if she's cold-blooded and heartless, how can you make her heartlessly reject you?

"It seems like this Regional Commander is truly knowledgeable."

The enchanting voice came out from within the Five Incense Treasure Chariot, and scratched everyone's hearts like the tail of a Jiao Wei Qin. When everyone looked back, their expressions changed, and even the smile on Sixth Prince's face had disappeared, as if he was a five-colored pottery that had been cut in half.

Chu Qinghuan's expression suddenly changed., who was at the side, was also stunned, and said after a while: "I didn't think that even eight thousand years old would come.

The man who walked out of the Five Incense Treasure Chariot was dressed in a light purple robe, and his movements were as smooth as flowing water. The mana bead sandstorm quietly bloomed the moment he raised his head, and it was as if everyone was shocked, even the arrival of the First Beauty in Capital did not occur to them as they focused on the eight thousand year old man.

The First Prince was the first to wake up and bow towards Ji Fengye, "I wonder what Tutor means by this?" In the end, his gaze landed on Chu Qinghuan. It was as if he wasn't asking about eight thousand years old, but Chu Qinghuan.

The corner of Ji Fengye's mouth raised slightly, his gaze sweeping across the people in front of the house of the Marquis, and Zhu Yuan shouted fiercely from behind: "Why aren't you bowing when you see Prince?"

Eight thousand years old, an existence that stood above tens of thousands of people by the age of one. If Emperor Xuanwu was not the current age of nine, he would probably be nine thousand years old.

The Mask Saint did not bow and walked within the palace. Even the princes had never received such a benevolent decree. Being born 8000 years old was a unique person. With ten million Imperial Guards in his hands, he had to pay respects to the Tutor, even if it meant that the princes had to pay their respects to him.

Who could he be in the entire Great Zhou?

Chu Qinghuan was about to bow, but a hand stopped her waist. She heard that cold laugh, but it was not a smile, "Little beauty, why do you need to be so formal?"

Chu Qinghuan only felt that the hands were slowly moving down the back of her waist, all the way until her buttocks finally stopped.

When they saw the two being so 'intimate', the smile on their face immediately froze. After a while, they said: "Prince is here to receive you. Shan'er, Yue Er does not greet Prince?"

The Anping Marquis guarded the northern border all year long, and the matters of the residence were always handled by the Anping Marquis's wife, the Liu family. Now that he was eight thousand years old and the Old Mistress did not go out to greet him, it was reasonable to say that he was lacking in manners to do so.

Ji Fengye acted as if he did not hear it, and casually waved his hand: "I heard that the view of the marquis' pavilion is the best, would you like to accompany me to enjoy the scenery?"

Song Lingshan and Song Lingyue, who were bowing, fiercely glared at Chu Qinghuan when they heard this. Song Lingyue's gaze was like poisonous grass entangling Chu Qinghuan's body.

"Please forgive my apologies, Prince. What ability does Qing Huan have to do this? I would never dare to do it."

The First Prince's face slowly relaxed when he heard this. The Sixth Prince beside him had a solemn expression, as he looked at the First Prince with a gaze filled with puzzlement. The Second Miss of the House of Prime Minister was not peerless in terms of beauty, but in comparison to the young miss, who was usually called the First Beauty in Capital, it could be said that he was like a pearl to the moon.

The age of eight thousand seemed to have another goal for the Second Miss. Why was the First Royal Brother, who was never close to a woman, changing from before? Thinking about that, the Sixth Prince's gaze started to linger on Chu Qinghuan.

There were only a few bamboo branches on her long skirt and the material on her upper body was only average. At most, she could be considered a pretty girl and couldn't be considered a 'beauty'.

"Oh?" Ji Fengye chuckled, his voice dragged out a little, "I had thought that you, Second Miss Chu, would not be afraid of the heavens or the earth, but it turns out that there are times where you don't dare."

Chu Qinghuan's slender nails slid onto the cloth of the Shu brocade, causing her to smile. Before she could open her mouth, the person beside her had already left.

"Shan Er, Yue Er, you two bring your sisters to take a look around." Seeing First Madame, as if she had seen her savior, she immediately went to welcome her.

Song Lingyue walked towards Chu Jinxiu with a bit of hidden bitterness. Song Lingshan shook her head helplessly, and with a doting smile on her face, she said, "Second Elder Sister and Fifth Sister, don't mind me. Yue Er is still a child."

Chu Qinghuan smiled, a look of understanding on her face: "I am afraid Fourth Miss cannot bear to part with her sister."

Song Lingshan's face did not change at all, she laughed and pulled at Chu Qinghuan's hand. If you don't mind, just call me third cousin. "

She really did not have any relationship with the Song Lingshan sisters at all. However, this Third Miss was much more patient than him, but...

"The few new peony flowers that were raised in the palace are now blooming. Didn't Fifth Sister always like peony flowers? Why don't you go to the Peony Pavilion and take a look? "

The corner of Chu Qinghuan's lips moved slightly. She thought that Third Miss was a smart person, but her eyes were wide open as she lied. Amongst the few misses in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the one who liked peony flowers the most was Chu Jinxiu.

Chu Jin Fu frowned and said with dissatisfaction: "Third cousin, you are mistaken, I only like the Hibiscus Mutabilis." Every August, when the hibiscus blooms, it is as beautiful as the sunset. Even though the hibiscus is tasteless, it is filled with fragrance.
