Chapter 21-25

Chapter 21: Called Flower Appreciation, but was actually the Selection of Wife.
Xie Xingyun frowned and glanced at the pillow.

"Young Master, shall I find a doctor to take a look at you?"

"There's no need," he said calmly. "Do you still have the incense you sent yesterday?"

Xiao Zheng was a little surprised and said, "There's more. If Young Master still wants more, I'll get someone to send it over on a horseback."

"On a horseback?"

"This incense was refined by a Buddhist disciple from India with 49 spices. It can help you sleep, clear your mind, and fulfill your wishes. It's extremely rare." Xiao Zheng paused for a few seconds and continued, "It's said that it can also make the person who uses it dream of his previous life. Therefore, this incense is also called Nanke."

Xie Xingyun repeated it. His voice was soft as if he was sighing softly. "Nanke."

Nanke dream.

"That's right." Xiao Zheng seemed to have thought of something and took over the lid of the Pixiu incense furnace. As expected, he found the Nanke spices. He stared wide-eyed. "I was wondering why Young Master slept so late. This maidservant who added the incense is too dim-witted. I told her to only put in only a tiny bit of a piece. She's just short of putting the entire piece in. This is something which is so hard to procure!"

Xie Xingyun said calmly, "Put it away."

…

Kingdom-Stabilizing General's Manor.

The carriage embroidered with the "Kingdom-Protector Eldest Princess" logo stopped by the roadside. Two maidservants helped a white-haired woman down.

When the gatekeeper saw this, he immediately went forward and bowed with a respectful smile. "Greetings, Nanny. Is the royal highness Eldest Princess sitting inside?"

The two maidservants stood on either side of the nanny wearing a jacket. The old woman did not say anything. Instead, she handed an invitation to him and raised her chin slightly. "This is the invitation to tomorrow's Plum Blossom Banquet. Please give it to your young Miss."

The gatekeeper took it in confusion. This person was already in front of the Manor. Shouldn't she go in?

After giving him the invitation, the nanny and the others entered the carriage again without saying a word.

"Strange…"

The gatekeeper was suspicious, but he did not dare to delay matters. After greeting the other guards at the courtyard, he delivered the invitation card to Pear Fragrance Court.

Green Pearl took it, "Who did you say sent this?"

The gatekeeper reported truthfully. Green Pearl was stunned for a moment before she handed the gilded invitation to Bai Xianyu.

Bai Xianyu also heard it. She frowned and flipped open the invitation card, but she was a little stunned.

The person being invited on the invitation card was Bai Yuantai's daughter, Bai Yu'er.

Green Pearl was beside her. She said in disbelief, "Miss, did the Eldest Princess write it wrong? If she wants to invite someone to the Plum Blossom Banquet, she should be inviting you?"

Bai Xianyu did not think so. She closed the invitation card, "Deliver this to Grandmother."

The gatekeeper heard their conversation and hurriedly nodded twice. He took the invitation card and delivered it to Longevity Hall.
