Chapter 978 Doubts

Since there was no room to sit in the house, we opened the side courtyard next door to entertain the guests first.

Until the girl came to report that Princess Hehui had arrived, Bai Yunxi was surprised, stood up and walked to the door, slightly blessed, "I didn't know that Princess Hehui was coming so far away to greet her."

"Bai Shu, you're welcome. I'm here to celebrate, do you mind?" Princess Hehui said, waving her hand for the gift, and an exquisite mahogany box was delivered to Bai Yunxi.

"What the princess said, it's too late for us to be happy." Bai Yunxi took the box personally, asked the girl to enter the gift list, led the people to the hall, and introduced the person to her daughter-in-law.

"Yishan, this is Princess Hehui, do you remember?"

"Princess Hehui is polite,"

After Zhang Yishan was surprised, she saluted, but she only had a vague impression of this person in her heart.

Princess Hehui put her hands on her abdomen, looked at Zhang Yishan indifferently, and spoke softly,

"Excuse me, I have long heard that Bai Hanlin married a wise and sensible wife, and now he is happy with Lin'er. As expected, he has both happiness and wealth."

"Thank you for the compliment, Princess. Please take a seat."

Zhang Yishan was very confused. She had heard that Princess Hehui was a proud person. The Bai family had nothing to do with this person. She could condescend to come over to congratulate her. It seemed that her personality was not as high-minded as the rumors. .

The arrival of Princess Hehui attracted the attention of many ladies, especially Mrs. Tang. As a newly recognized relative, in order to show her closeness, she naturally had to bring her daughter-in-law and grandson to come to congratulate her in person.

The master once said that Bai Ansheng is a sharp sword prepared by the government. Although he is favored at the moment, if he does not do well and cannot function as a sharp sword, the final end will be miserable.

All of them are old foxes in the officialdom. Who can't see through the key points?

It is for this reason that the clan elder suppressed his eagerness to wait and see for the time being.

Unexpectedly, Princess Hehui would come in person. Although she was not a royal princess, she was the jewel in the Imperial Palace. Her presence meant that the Imperial Palace recognized Bai Ansheng's abilities.

Could it be that Taishi Ning is on Bai Ansheng's team?

How can it be? The Ning family is a hairpin family that has been passed down for hundreds of years and has a profound heritage. It is a natural opposition to Bai Ansheng, a scholar from a humble family.

Mrs. Tang frowned, feeling very confused.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Princess. I wonder if Mrs. Ning is okay?"

Hearing Mrs. Tang's greetings, Princess Hehui nodded, "Thank you, Mrs. Tang, for your concern. Grandma is in good health."

"That's good. In the blink of an eye, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year. The last time we met was at the palace banquet."

Princess Hehui heard her emotion and nodded, "Grandma likes to be quiet. She rarely goes out except to go to the temple to worship Buddha."

At this moment, another girl came to report that a girl from the Mu family had arrived.

Baiyunxi was stunned when he heard about the Mu family. The Mu family was their enemy.

"I came uninvited. I hope I didn't cause any trouble to Bai Shuren."

Mu Zhuolan walked in with the girl and saw Lord He Hui sitting above him. He winked at her and then asked the girl to present the gift.

"You're welcome, Miss Mu. You are a guest. Why bother? Please sit down."

Bai Yunxi didn't miss the little moves she made with the princess, nor did she care. They were both noble ladies from Kyoto and liked to join in the fun, so she welcomed them very much.

As the number of guests increased, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, she had people prepare more. If she had not prepared according to the number of invitations, she would have made a joke today.

Although the weather in June was not the hottest yet, Baiyunxi also ordered people to place ice basins in the house, but it couldn't handle the large number of people and it was still sweltering. The young people couldn't sit still, so they got up and went to the garden.

There was Mr. Duan in the flower hall to help with greetings, but there were so many people that it was hard to get away.

At this time, it fell to Bai Anjing and Yaya to take the girls to the garden to cool off.

Fortunately, Tang Yuan was there to help.

"Sister Princess, please go and sit in the pavilion. I have sent someone to prepare an ice bowl, but here is the magic tool for cooling down the heat in our house."

"Okay, thank you very much Yaya." Princess Hehui sat by the pavilion, one hand on the edge of the table and the other hand shaking the fan, with a lazy look on her face.

Mu Zhuolan looked at Yaya standing under the plum tree and directing the girls to work. She held her chin for a moment and then turned to look at Princess Hehui.

"He Hui, you came to visit this little girl during the full moon banquet today. I am very curious, what is so special about her? That you like her so much?"

She and He Hui had grown up together, and this was the first time that she liked a little girl and chased her into her home.

Listening to Mu Zhuolan's teasing, Princess Hehui glanced at her, "You never like occasions like this, let alone from a family like the Bai family, so why are you here?"

"Ahem~, I won't hide it from you. I was just curious and came after you."

Mu Zhuolan said, covering his mouth with a ball fan and laughing softly.

"Kyoto has been so boring lately, and nothing is idle."

Princess Hehui curled her lips, "You are right, it is indeed boring. But little sister Yaya is interesting, she is good-looking and well-behaved, and she is just popular."

With that said, Princess Hehui turned her head and saw Yaya and Yatou walking over with a tray.

Two bowls of cold ice were placed on the table.

"Sister Princess, Miss Mu, this is an ice bowl that my grandmother thought up. It's best for summer. You guys have a try."

“It looks delicious,”

Princess Hehui took a small spoon, took a spoonful of smoothie and put it into her mouth. The cold feeling stimulated her mouth and cooled her stomach.

The smoothie is mixed with various fruit purees and is sweet and delicious. It is indeed a magical way to cool down the heat.

"Your grandmother is so smart. It's really good to eat ice smoothies like this." In summer, they only eat fruits in ice, but never mix them with crushed ice.

"Although this ice bowl is delicious, you can't eat too much. Grandmother only allows me to eat one bowl a day." Yaya curved her lips and reminded with a smile.

"Your grandmother is afraid that you will get a stomachache," Princess Hehui looked at her cunning eyes and couldn't help laughing.

The little niece is so smart and lovely. Bai Hanlin, a dragon and phoenix among people, must be very humorous.

Mu Zhuolan looked at her staring at the ice bowl and her eyes flashed, and she was suspicious.

The two of them were friends who grew up together. Although they couldn't be said to be close friends, they knew each other's temperaments to some extent.

Ning Hehui's words and deeds these days are completely different from before.

With doubts in her heart, Mu Zhuolan paid attention to her words and deeds since the banquet, especially when she talked to Bai Shuren, her tone was particularly gentle.

The more this happened, the more suspicious she became.

During the banquet, He Hui took the maid away to change clothes. She sat for a while, then couldn't help but follow them out.

As soon as she reached the corner of the corridor, she was stunned.

She actually saw He Hui and Bai Hanlin standing together and talking. From her perspective, He Hui's eyebrows and eyes were softer than ever before.

How did these two people know each other?
