Her hair was cloud-like and beautiful! She opened her eyes and found herself back in the third year

Chapter 235 This Sima Wuxu is something else!

The tea soup simmers and the steam rises, the movements of the hands are as smooth as flowing water, or like butterflies fluttering in the air.

Qin Yizhen and Cheng Yan chatted idly and even started a tea-brewing contest. Qin Yizhen used ordinary well water, while Cheng Yan used clear mountain spring water. After brewing the tea, they each poured a small cup and invited Song Nian, Lü Qiao, and Granny Jin to taste it together.

"How is it? Is my brew better or your Marquis's?"

Song Nian's smile was even brighter than the August sun: "The tea brewed by the Marquis is clear and sweet, with the fragrance of pine forests, mountain flowers and grasses. Drinking it makes one feel refreshed and relaxed. The tea brewed by the princess is like the essence of the prosperous city, using the mountains and rivers as a furnace to brew a fine wine."

Qin Yizhen was so happy that her shoulders were shaking, and she kept laughing. Lü Qiao was also secretly laughing beside her.

Qin Yizhen shook her head and clicked her tongue as she fanned herself: "Songnian, look at you, you're usually so eloquent, but why do you turn into a complete idiot in front of Hongying?"

"With such smooth talk, winning over a girl should be a piece of cake, right?"

Song Nian blushed at the laughter and could only sigh, "Princess, you don't know, Miss Hongying is only interested in making money. Whenever I go to see her, it's either to drink with her or to have a drinking contest. She only sees me as a drinking buddy. When she sees me, all she thinks about is what good wine to bring today."

Qin Yizhen laughed even harder: "No wonder you keep taking away the good wine from the manor. So that's what you're using it for. But you're really pathetic. You've used up so much good wine, and you don't even dare to let the young lady know your feelings. Isn't that right, Lord Marquis?"

What else could Cheng Yan do but nod? "The princess is right."

My wife is always right.

Song Nian is really no good. He didn't even learn the essence of it. Think about how he schemed to force his beloved to marry him. Although there were twists and turns in the middle, they are now a loving couple.

In short, it wasn't his problem; it was that this stupid subordinate hadn't learned the skills.

Song Nian glanced at Cheng Yan with a resentful look. Seeing his worthless expression that said "whatever the princess says is right," Song Nian thought to himself, "Has this guy forgotten that when I had a falling out with the princess, it was all of us servants who coaxed and persuaded me?"

Besides, in the end, it was the princess who felt sorry for him and didn't hold it against him. If he had struggled for several more years, he probably wouldn't have achieved anything. Now, she's starting to look down on him.

At least he's become drinking buddies with his sweetheart!

However, Song Nian dared not speak out against it, since the other party was the master, and if he, as a subordinate, dared to undermine his master, he would be finished.

Ugh!

When will he be able to get along better with your master?

Is it even possible in this lifetime?

"A young knight-errant rides his horse, the banks of the river are covered with reeds, watching the twilight and the afterglow of the setting sun, welcoming the spring breeze and the peach blossoms intoxicating..." On the high platform in the courtyard on the first floor, the storyteller spoke clearly and loudly, and in just a few words, he sketched the scene of a young knight-errant riding his horse by the river in the spring sunset.

It seems as if there are countless joys and sorrows to come, yet it also seems as if one is destined to be alone for life, with only a horse and a sword to accompany them, and endless melancholy.

Qin Yizhen reached out her finger and hooked the sachet with embroidered auspicious clouds and begonia branches that Cheng Yan had fastened to his waist. Cheng Yan pressed her hand down and held her fingers in his palm.

After some time, someone from Sima Wuxu came to deliver a message: "This humble servant greets the princess and the marquis. My young master has ordered a theater to be booked and invited Princess Huizhen to attend. Would you two like to come along?"

Listen to a play?

Who and who?

Qin Yizhen was caught off guard and didn't react immediately. When she realized it was Princess Huizhen and Sima Wuxu, her face showed surprise and confusion.

In her and Cheng Yan's opinion, the two of them probably didn't have much of a chance. Princess Huizhen wasn't really looking for a husband; in fact, she was also thinking about keeping a gigolo.

Qin Yizhen and Cheng Yan exchanged glances. Cheng Yan was also surprised, but after a few moments, he realized what was going on: "Since it is your young master who invited Huizhen, we will not disturb you. However, before nightfall, we must send Huizhen back to the princess's residence."

"I will certainly convey your message, Your Excellency. Please rest assured." The attendant agreed on behalf of Sima Wuxu, then bowed and left.

The people in the room looked at each other, and the scene remained quiet for a while.

In the end, Song Nian almost bit his lip, and gasped, "Hiss... this Sima Wuxu is something else!"

To be able to win over Princess Huizhen, you must have some skill, right?

You have to understand how much Empress Dowager Cheng, Cheng Yan, and Qin Yizhen talked to her and explained all the reasons to her, but they could only get her to agree to meet her husband.

It's likely that she wouldn't have a very good attitude towards Sima Wuxu.

Sima Wuxu was able to charm people into going to the theater together, which shows he was indeed capable.

Qin Yizhen looked at Cheng Yan and then at Song Nian, her eyes revealing some confusion. These two don't seem stupid, so why are they so different? They can't even coax a girl.

Cheng Yan glanced at Song Nian, warning him to shut up, and then said to Qin Yizhen, "It must be because Young Master Sima has met many girls that he is so familiar with the ways and can handle them so easily. I am different. I only have my wife who requires my attention. So, I am a little rusty and there are many things I don't understand. That's normal."

Right, it's definitely because he doesn't know much about this matter and doesn't know how to coax a girl, which is why he's been dragging his feet for so many years.

However, thinking about how quickly Sima Wuxu managed to coax Princess Huizhen into going to the theater with him, Cheng Yan felt a little regretful. If he had known that Sima Wuxu was so capable, he would have become his apprentice earlier, and all his problems would have been solved.

Ugh!

Qin Yizhen glared at him: "The way you're talking makes it sound like he's a womanizer who's been with countless women, which is why he's learned how to charm girls. Could it be that he's just naturally gifted?"

Right? You can't allow people to be naturally gifted, you're all just silly and stupid?

Song Nian immediately disagreed: "What do you mean by someone being exceptionally talented? The way you're talking, Princess, makes it sound like the Marquis is a fool?"

Qin Yizhen said, "I didn't say that about your Marquis, you did."

Song Nian: "?!!"

"No, Your Highness, you're trying to frame me! I never said that!"

"This is truly an injustice! I am more wronged than Dou E!"

Cheng Yan glared at him, telling him to shut up.

Seeing the two men get their comeuppance, Qin Yizhen felt a surge of smugness.

Cheng Yan reached out and took Qin Yizhen's hand in his, pulled her up, and prepared to leave.

Qin Yizhen was somewhat confused: "What are you trying to do?"

"go home."

"Go home?" Qin Yi was puzzled. How come she hadn't had enough tea and snacks, and hadn't listened to enough audiobooks yet?

"Yes, let's go home. Let's go home and discuss the term 'gifted' with you."

"???!!!"
