Fragrance Returned

Ding Xiang opened a corner of the curtain and said with a smile, Okay, I'll go visit Auntie Sun after I've been busy for a while.

Sun Yumu sneered, You're just a little carrot, what can you do?

Ding Xiang said, Do you think I'm as busy as you? I have to be busy with schoolwork, decorating the bookstore, and thinking of delicious snack recipes...

After coming to the capital for more than twenty days, Ding Xiang was really busy every day, and her mind was never idle. She was so busy that she didn't even have time to dream.

She hooked her fingers, and Sun Yumu's heads came closer.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, Princess Dongyang's mansion holds a peony banquet. Can you play the flute?

In the afternoon, the mother-in-law of Dongyang Princess Mansion sent a message to Tao Mansion. Several female members of the Tao family were very excited, saying that the peony banquet held by Dongyang Princess Mansion was one of the six top flower banquets in the capital, and many people were looking forward to it.

There is a large peony garden in the Dongyang Princess Mansion. One of the famous peonies is the King of Flowers. The flower is nearly one foot tall and one and a half feet in diameter. There are fifteen branches on one flower. In recent years, seventy or eighty flowers bloom every year. Attracting many people to view the flowers.

The year before last, the Emperor and the Empress even went to see it incognito...

Another reason why the flower banquet is most anticipated is the Prince Consort Xun. Every time there is a talent show, Prince Consort Xun will be the first to play the piano.

The beauty of the country, the fragrance of the country, and the sounds of nature, not only feasted the guests' eyes, but also feasted their ears.

After Xiangxiang County Lord turned eight years old, Prince Consort Xun would take her to play the piano together. The Lord of Xiangxiang County has a beautiful face, excellent piano skills, and a father like Prince Consort Xun as his foil. No young lady would not envy her.

A few days ago, Princess Dongyang specially told Sun Yumu's mother, Mrs. Sun, that she would definitely invite Sun Yumu to play the flute this time.

Today, Sun Yumu is gradually becoming famous in the capital. He is good-looking, has a good family background, is talented, and plays the flute well. Princess Dongyang wants to invite him to perform the flute to further increase the attraction of the Peony Banquet.

It is also said that there are four beauties in the capital, young ladies between the ages of twelve and eighteen. If someone is overage, they will automatically exit and then choose a supplement in the flower feast's talent show.

The four beauties are not only beautiful, but also talented.

Cai Jiayi, one of the Four Beauties, will turn 18 next March. There is no doubt that Xun Xiang will be added to the list. Princess Dongyang and Prince Consort Xun have been building momentum for Xun Xiang...

Only then did Ding Xiang realize that fake Xunxiang was so popular.

She guessed that Dongyang Princess Mansion would definitely send messages to her family.

Although his status as a semi-official and semi-business family is not high, he is Xun's consort's aunt and cousin.

Ding Xiang felt that Sun Yumu was cool, didn't like to be in the limelight, and wouldn't be willing to play the flute in public.

Impatientness flashed across Sun Yumu's face, and he said, I don't like that kind of occasion the most, and I don't even want to see it. But my mother has already agreed, alas.

Is this going to be blown?

Ding Xiang teased, Your Majesty Sun is unparalleled in handsomeness. Princess Dongyang knows that there are many young ladies who want to see you...

Stop talking nonsense, you little girl, what do you know?

Sun Yumu said angrily. He leaned his head closer and lowered his voice and said, If you go, pay attention to the Sixth Princess and Xun Xiang, and stay away from them.

He blushed, feeling that he was not a man enough to get involved in the little lady's mischief. But if you don't say it, you are afraid that Dingxiang will suffer a loss.

Then he explained, That's it. That day, I went to the Royal Garden with my grandfather to meet the emperor, and we happened to encounter the Sixth Princess joking about Xunxiang and your name. Xunxiang was very unhappy and said that she would find a way to get you to change your name... Those little ladies are so strong...Hey, please pay attention anyway.

After saying that, he took Feifei down and stuffed it through the small window, and ran away on horseback.

Ding Xiang blinked, fake Xunxiang wanted to change her name?

What a big face.

She has been running for eight hundred miles to become a vicious female supporting role.

Ding Xiang could think with her toes that Princess Dongyang was in the same group as Gao Feng and Concubine Su, and the Kang family must have some objections to Princess Dongyang.

The sixth princess deliberately used her name to offend the fake Xunxiang, which meant that a country girl was also called Xiang. The strong fake Xunxiang was unhappy and wanted to change her name.

You are the authentic fragrance, okay?

The sixth princess is a princess, while the fake Xunxiang is just the county lord. It seems that the princess has a much higher status than the county lord. But the fake Xunxiang is the daughter of the legitimate princess. She is not only extremely favored by the queen, but also liked by the emperor. Therefore, the fake Xunxiang is not afraid of the sixth princess who is a concubine and has the courage to fight with her.

In fact, Ding Xiang didn't want to attend this banquet or that banquet at all. But she would go to any banquet held at Dongyang Princess Mansion.

Ding Xiang imagined the means by which the Sixth Princess and the fake Xunxiang would frame her.

In that situation, if you don't dare to take someone's life, it's just to use unpleasant words to bully her, or to make her look embarrassed...

If I, an old aunt, were tricked by two eleven or twelve-year-old girls, my life would have been in vain.

When Ding Xiang arrived home, she heard Zhang laugh and say, Princess Dongyang held a peony banquet on the tenth day of the lunar month and sent a notice to our house in the afternoon. My father-in-law, master and I are going to Hexian County to attend to the engagement of girl Zhen, so we can't go. Li Lai Ren will be there. Go, does Xiangxiang want to go? If you don’t want to go, come with us to He County. If you want to go, just go with Mrs. Dong.”

Ding Xiang was afraid that her family would be worried, so she didn't say anything unkind to Xun Xiang. Said, I haven't seen the flower banquet yet, and I want to see it.

The next day, Mrs. Dong sent a nanny to teach Ding Xiang the etiquette of meeting ladies, who must kowtow, who can be blessed, and how to speak...

The man who cares about the old witch now only has facial features, and there is no need to kowtow to this. But she is Ding Xiang's step-aunt, and she is respected by the Xun family. As a junior and low-born, Ding Xiang must kowtow.

Ding Xiang agreed on the surface, but in her heart she was swearing and smacking her ass!

On the ninth night of the Lunar New Year, Ding Xiang tossed and turned and found it difficult to fall asleep.

After breakfast the next day, Ding Xiang went back to Zixuan to dress up.

She wore a rich red brocade flower-blossom trousers, a pink embroidered red maple skirt, a red gold seven-treasure necklace on her neck, southern pearl earrings in her ears, and an emerald peony hairpin on her bun.

Ding Xiang doesn't want to be high-profile, but in ancient times it was orthodox to pay attention to bright red. She must wear bright red today, and she must be rich.

Although she didn't want to be Xunxiang, nor did she want to go back to that home, she couldn't deny that she was the real Xunxiang, and that place was her home.

If it weren't for the fake Xunxiang called Xunfeng, she would wear a phoenix hairpin and wear phoenix and peony flowers.

She also put a little cinnabar on her eyebrows and applied a light lipstick.

The little beauty in the mirror has bright eyes and bright teeth.

I have to say that this body can hold Da Hong down, and this outfit is not only not gaudy, but also very aura and beautiful.

This noble lady's aura is innate.

The only thing that Ding Xiang was dissatisfied with was that she was still a little on the fat side.

In this era of thinness, young ladies and daughters-in-law all like their slim and graceful figures.

Seeing the little mistress pouting, Grandma Wei knew what she was thinking. She smiled and said, Sister, she is very beautiful. She is neither fat nor thin, just right.
