The Rebirth of the First Daughter as the Head of the Family

After arriving in the backyard of the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Zhu paused, and said to the ladies: "Sisters, the space in this flower house is a little smaller because the doors and windows are closed, and let the maidservants who are following you wait outside first. Come on, okay?"

Everyone understands Zhao Zhu's sincerity.

One by one, he ordered his maidservant to wait outside.

Qiu Yun was a little worried, and wanted to go in with her own lady.

Song Jinyue saw that everyone didn't bring their maids, so she couldn't be different from others.

Besides, the greenhouse is in the courtyard, so I think there will be no mistakes.

Then he said: "You all just wait outside, no matter who calls you to do other things, you don't have to pay attention to it, just wait here for me."

After explaining everything properly, Song Jinyue followed the ladies into the conservatory.

The windows in the flower room are bright and clean, and there are pots of red, purple, green, and pink chrysanthemums placed on the long black lacquered stools. There are two bronze furnaces with silver charcoal burning inside.

Everyone is curious, purple, green and red chrysanthemums are the most rare. These are rare varieties from Fanbang. Although they are circulated in the market, the price is particularly high.

Therefore, if ordinary aristocratic families hadn't specially organized a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, they would not have spent a lot of money to buy these chrysanthemums.

Everyone dispersed and admired the chrysanthemums alone.

Song Jinyue didn't come close, but just watched from the side.

The scent of chrysanthemum is strong, and there is a faint bitter medicinal fragrance.

She doesn't like the fragrance of chrysanthemums very much, if Mrs. Zhao hadn't asked her to come here today, she would definitely not want to attend the banquet.

I just want to see what kind of medicine Mrs. Zhao is selling in her gourd.

Zhao Zhu approached Song Jinyue and asked with a smile, "Princess, don't you like it?"

Song Jinyue was slightly displeased with Zhao Zhu's sudden approach to her, frowned, and replied casually: "Miss Zhao Er misunderstood, I like to stand in the distance and take in all the beautiful women, and every chrysanthemum has its own chrysanthemum. own beauty."

"The knowledge of the princess is really different from mine. In front of the princess, I really feel ashamed."

Song Jinyue smiled, but didn't answer, after all, she didn't know what Zhao Zhu was thinking.

Seeing that she stopped talking, Zhao Zhu said again: "I really like the bracelet given by the princess."

Song Jinyue was startled, she didn't expect Zhao Zhu to bring up this matter suddenly, she couldn't help but look at her wrist, "I didn't see Second Miss Zhao wearing that bracelet either."

"The princess doesn't know. When I came back to the house yesterday, my father saw the bracelet on my wrist, so he asked me to take it away with me." Zhao Zhu's expression turned cold suddenly, and he looked at Song Jinyue with cold eyes.

"Thanks to the princess, I was forced to kneel in the ancestral hall all night yesterday."

Zhao Zhu pulled the corner of his lips and sneered.

Song Jinyue frowned, but she didn't expect Master Zhao to deal with it like this.

But what does it matter to her?
It was Lord Zhao who made Zhao Zhu kneel in the ancestral hall, not her.

If Mr. Zhao was really worried about the bracelet, she should be blamed, not Zhao Zhu.

And she sent the bracelet out through Zhao Zhu, in order to test Mr. Zhao.

After all, Mrs. Zhao was looking for Peony in the dark, and Mrs. Zhao probably knew about it.

"Second Miss Zhao, why is Mr. Zhao angry at you, but because I gave you a gift to make amends?"

Zhao Zhu saw Song Jinyue's appearance of having nothing to do with himself, gritted his teeth, and glared at Song Jinyue angrily.

Suddenly she chuckled twice, and then said: "I think it's my father who thinks that I caused trouble to the Princess at the Duke's Mansion yesterday, and that's why he punished me."

This sudden change of attitude gradually caused doubts in Song Jinyue's heart.

"Princess, today's banquet is specially organized for you by my mother."

There was a meaningful smile on the corner of Zhao Zhu's lips.

Song Jinyue stared fixedly at Zhao Zhu, trying to get a clue from her expression.

All the aristocratic families in the flower room were all admiring the chrysanthemums in the house, and no one noticed the strangeness between the two of them for a while.

"I heard that Master Qin is the confidant of His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince. I don't know if the princess knows it?" The smile on Zhao Zhu's lips deepened, as if he was like a victor.

Song Jinyue's heart was blank, and she came to her senses, only thinking that Zhao Zhu was deliberately provoking her.

She took a step forward, trying to put some distance away from Zhao Zhu.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhu suddenly took Song Jinyue's arm, and said quietly: "Princess, don't you wonder how the team of cousins ​​from the Qin family came to the capital?"

With just this one sentence, Song Jinyue believed most of what Zhao Zhu said.

Because, the cousins ​​of the Qin family are the sons and daughters of Imperial Doctor Xu.

This matter, she has confirmed.

Because they have never stepped out of the Qin residence, few people in the capital know that such a pair of siblings still live in the Qin family.

"Princess, come with me, I have something good to show the princess."

After saying that, Zhao Zhu pulled Song Jinyue across a screen in the greenhouse, and saw a desk behind the screen, and a long row of bookshelves behind the desk.

There are a variety of books on it.

Song Jinyue frowned, instinctively wanting to reject Zhao Zhu.

But suddenly, the tip of his nose smelled a strange, faint floral fragrance like jasmine, and there seemed to be a hint of sourness in it, and he couldn't tell what kind of spice it was.

But Song Jinyue's head sank and she was in a daze, so she let Zhao Zhu pull her forward.

Zhao Zhu casually turned the oil lamp on the bookshelf, and the bookshelf turned inwards slowly.

Inside was a secret room.

Zhao Zhu pushed Song Jinyue in, and closed the door of the darkroom casually.

She straightened her clothes casually, and then calmly crossed the screen and went outside to join the ladies.

All the young ladies in the room stood there with their eyes downcast.

Like a piece of puppets.

Zhao Zhu walked to the incense burner, took a wooden shovel from the tray on the side, shoveled a shovel of spices from the side, and threw it into the incense burner.

Immediately, the faint and strange fragrance of jasmine flowers in the room dispersed.

The room was filled with thick sandalwood, and after a while, all the ladies came back to their senses, only as if they had just dozed off, everyone looked at each other, and each smiled a little embarrassedly.

No one noticed that Song Jinyue was no longer in the greenhouse.

"Miss Zhao Er, we will come out for a while. I think mother is waiting in front of me, so let's go back first." The person who spoke was Lin Luoxia, the granddaughter of Taifu Lin's family.

She smiled lightly, but there was something strange in her eyes.

There was no such strong sandalwood when she entered the flower room before, she has always been knowledgeable in spices.

She clearly remembered that when she entered the room just now, there was a faint fragrance of jasmine in the room, which was slightly sour.

Still thinking about waiting to go out and ask Miss Zhao Er for some spices.

Unexpectedly, when he was in a trance just now, the spices in this room were changed.

This made her feel that this matter was strange from the bottom of her heart, so she didn't want to stay here anymore, and she didn't know if the lady next to her had discovered the strangeness.
