Chapter 136

Mentioning Nan Xi's career in this situation is tantamount to reminding others that Nan Xi is not a daughter of aristocratic family, but just the work of a government official.

Bai's eyes darkened slightly, and her soft voice contained a hint of rebuke: "Qing'er, don't lose your composure."

Murong Qing was also accompanied by Guan Wanyun.

When Bai Shi posted the invitation, Guan Wanyun had not yet been released from prison, and it was Murong Qing who invited her over today.

After some suffering in prison, Guan Wanyun seemed to have changed a lot.

In the past, even though she pretended to be gentle and gentle, it could still be seen as fake, but now she is really restrained and calm, as if a hedgehog has had its thorns pulled out and has no offensive power.

"Madam." Guan Wanyun nodded slightly towards Bai, but she glanced in Nan Xi's direction from the corner of her eye.

Bai Shi also nodded as a welcome, but his attitude was not as enthusiastic as he was towards Nan Xi.

Murong Qing pursed her lips, her expression not very good.

Being scolded in front of so many people, Murong Qing felt her face burning, as if she had been slapped.

My brother is right, my mother has really changed a lot.

How could she be so embarrassed because of an outsider?

The autumn wind was a bit cool, so Bai took Nan Xi into the house.

"This is this year's scented tea. Do you like the taste after trying it? If you're not used to it, I'll ask someone to change it to something else." Bai Shi glanced at everyone, and finally her eyes fell on Nan Xi.

There were more than twenty girls from aristocratic families who were invited here today, all of them were third-grade or above with good reputation as the legitimate daughters of aristocratic families. However, Bai Shi had Nan Xi sitting next to her, who seemed to be closer to her than Murong Qing. Everyone was confused for a moment.

A few people who were more sensitive to the situation in the court even thought of others.

Could it be that Marquis Bo'an was trying to use Nan Xi to gain access to the Regent?

It seems that Marquis Bo'an has really joined forces and has become the regent's faction.

They all thought to themselves that they must tell their father and brother this when they return home.

This was the first time for Nan Xi to drink scented tea. The fragrance of flowers and tea blended together, giving it a unique taste. She took a sip and found it bitter yet sweet, leaving an endless aftertaste.

"This scented tea tastes really good. Madam is very interested."

When Bai heard that she liked it, her eyebrows rose again, and her whole person seemed to be injected with vitality instantly, "If Nannan likes it, I will have someone put some for you, and you can take it back to drink, and then tell me after you finish it, these are all I grow it myself, I pick it myself, I cook it myself.”

"Thank you ma'am."

"You're so kind. It feels like home when you get here."

Nan Xi was slightly startled.

This Madam Hou is a little too hospitable.

Murong Qing's face didn't look very good from the beginning. She tried several times to attract Bai's attention, but all failed.

This made the sense of crisis in her heart even stronger.

"Mom, it's noon and the sun is shining brightly, so we can go to the flower shed." She reminded.

The title of today’s banquet is the Flower Appreciation Banquet, and naturally the main focus is on flower appreciation.

Bai stood up and made a 'please' gesture, "Everyone, come with me."

The flower shed is in the south courtyard. It is very big. After entering, it feels like you have entered another world. It is not only warm, but also filled with the fragrance of flowers. It is enjoyable to look at it.

Nan Xi was also surprised. He didn't expect that in this era, someone could develop such a heat-insulating and sunny garden shed.

"so beautiful."

"I heard that the marquis built this garden shed specially for his wife. Such a sentiment is really enviable."

"Is this why Master Murong is so popular? After all, who wouldn't want to have parents-in-law like this?"

The two women next to him were whispering softly. Hearing this, Nan Xi looked at Bai, and his eyes met with hers.

"Nan Nan." Bai took Nan Xi's hand again, "Come on, everyone, sit down quickly."

There were some seats placed in the middle of the flower shed. After Bai and Nan Xi sat down, everyone else also sat down.

"I heard that Madam cultivated an epiphyllum, but this one?" someone asked.I saw a green and white bud among the flowers.

Murong Qing spoke before Mrs. Bai, "Yes, this is it. It is always said that a short-lived flower is the rarest thing. Mother, she has carefully cultivated it for a long time, and this night-blooming flower finally showed its buds. Seeing that it will bloom today, she invited Let’s watch it together.”

"I heard that if I have the chance to see a flash in the pan, my wish will come true. Thank you madam."

"Thank you ma'am."

Nan Xi didn't expect that there was such a legend about Epiphyllum here. After taking a look, he didn't have much expectation in his eyes.

Her wishes will be achieved through her own efforts and will not be pinned on a flower.

The process of waiting for the flowers to bloom was not long. After everyone chatted for a while, they saw the buds slowly blooming.

At this moment, even Nan Xi couldn't help but hold his breath and stared at the epiphyllum.

Some people have even silently prayed in their hearts.

Bai's loving eyes were locked on Nan Xi.

I secretly promised in my heart.

I hope my children can be healthy and happy throughout their lives and never have any worries.

Nan Xi seemed to have noticed something, and turned to look at Bai. Neither of them spoke, they just looked at each other.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed: "It's open!"

Only then did Nan Xi and Bai look over.

What a nice view.

Very pretty.

Nan Xi suddenly had the urge to plant epiphyllums in space.

It's so beautiful.

But beautiful things are destined to be short-lived. They appear briefly and soon wither.

Everyone couldn't help but feel sorry.

"It's such a pity that it only opened for such a short time."

"A short-lived flash in the pan, but its true name lives up to its reputation."

"But even if it's only for a moment, it's very rare to see it. Thank you madam."

Everyone thanked Bai again.

Bai Shi chuckled and took them back to the house. The banquet had already begun and sumptuous dishes were placed on the table.

"Mom, my brother just sent someone to tell you something important." Murong Qing tilted her head and whispered: "I will take care of you here, don't worry, Mom."

Bai thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, Qing'er, take care of everyone."

Before leaving, she glanced at Nan Xi.

Murong Qing sat on the main seat, raising her chin slightly, "Nan Wuzuo, please sit down."

She still didn't change her name for Nan Xi.

Nan Xi didn't care and sat in the second position.

"Haha, Nan Wuzaku, since you are attending the flower viewing banquet on behalf of the Prince Regent's Palace, you should at least familiarize yourself with the rules of the banquet before coming. Your status determines your seat, and this seat is not something you can sit in if you want."

The others all fell silent, making it clear that Miss Murong was targeting Nan Xi, and they just wanted to watch the excitement.

Han Lian and Shaoyao behind them frowned and wanted to step forward, but noticed Nan Xi's gesture.

This was what they had agreed on on the way here. As long as Nan Xi made such a gesture, they could not move.

Nan Xi sat down lightly, "Since you also said that I am here on behalf of the Prince Regent's Palace, isn't the status of the Prince Regent's Palace enough to sit in the second seat?"
