All kinds of low tables had been moved in the garden long ago, and all the ladies who got the posts came one after another, chatting in small groups and waiting for Su Li.
"You've all heard the rumor, right? Tell me, will the third concubine come?" the lady in a lake green gown whispered.
"If the empress has posted the post, would she dare not come?" Another younger woman said, "Although this matter has been suppressed, who knows the tricks in it? It's just a person who wants to fly on a branch and become a phoenix." It's just tits."
"indeed."
"Hey, look, is that the third princess? She looks frivolous, heh, what's so pitiful dressed like this?"
"It's her. Tsk, seeing the pitiful expression on my face, those who didn't know thought she was seducing people."
As soon as Ji Qingqing walked into this exquisitely laid out garden, she felt many scrutinizing eyes. She straightened her back, tried her best to look calm, and then found an inconspicuous seat and sat down.
"You are?" A clear voice suddenly sounded beside him.
Ji Qingqing looked up, and saw a very beautiful girl with cool and elegant features, just like the light green plum blossoms embroidered on her skirt. She got up and nodded at her, and said with a smile, "I am the princess of the Three Princes' Mansion."
The woman hummed, and said: "Third Princess, this is the seat for women who have not left the pavilion."
Ji Qingqing was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, then said awkwardly: "Sorry." Then she sat on the other side under the eyes of everyone hiding their smiles.
"Who is she?" Ji Qingqing felt a little uncomfortable, so she asked the maid beside her softly.
"Princess, that's Miss Chen Qixue, the daughter of the prime minister's family, and also a famous talented woman in my dynasty." The servant girl replied.
"Really..." She is a famous talented woman, but she doesn't know it. Does this mean that she is short-sighted? Ji Qingqing tightly squeezed the brocade handkerchief in her hand, her eyes filled with sadness.
"The empress is here!" The eunuch's loud chants sounded not far away, and everyone stood up to greet her.
The lacquered and carved phoenix came slowly and stopped on a flat ground. The palace maid opened the curtain embroidered with cloud patterns of gold threads in front of the Luanjia, and then everyone saw a stunning beauty being helped out by Que'er.
Su Li is wearing a floor-length skirt embroidered with rouge peonies, and the long skirt is full of vivid flowers. Ordinary people can't suppress this kind of pattern, but Su Li's beautiful features and the majesty of the lord of the harem complement this dress.
Everyone said hello, Su Li glanced around, and said with a faint smile: "There is no need to be too polite. Today I invite you to enjoy the scenery and flowers, so don't be too restrained."
The general's wife has a straightforward personality. After hearing what Su Li said, she agreed and said: "This garden is full of scenery, and the flowers are blooming well. It is indeed the queen's garden."
Su Li nodded with a smile, "I also think this garden is well built, thanks to Your Majesty's effort."
"Your Majesty and Your Majesty are truly husband and wife," said the general's wife.
Su Li exchanged a few more words with the wives and ladies, and then ordered an eunuch to bring a small frame, in which wooden signs painted in various colors were neatly stacked.
"In the past, people recite poems and paint pictures at the flower viewing banquet, which is quite common. Let's play a new trick today." Su Li reached out and took out a small and exquisitely carved wooden sign. "Here are ten wooden signs. After each wooden sign is opened, you can see the same thing written inside, but there are two wooden signs that are different from the others. Those who get these two signs must try their best to disguise their identities. If you come out, you lose."
"This game is novel and interesting. My mother's countryman is really smart." A noble lady who loves to play immediately clapped her hands and cheered.
On the first day of 2017, I wish you all a happy new year.
I also hope that I have a good start, and collect and comment on the tickets for me~
