Interrupted by King Jing, Yunshang forgot what she wanted to say earlier, and after thinking for a long time, she couldn't think of it, so she sighed and decided not to talk to King Jing again, but she heard King Jing say again, " Your grandfather sent me a letter saying that he will come to the imperial city in the future."
Yunshang was startled when she heard the words, and then hurriedly said, "Really? The concubine mother is going to give birth soon. What is grandfather doing in the imperial city at this time?"
Prince Jing curled his lips, "What? Mr. Xiao is coming to the imperial city? Why didn't I know?"
"..." Yun Chang saw the cunning flashing in his eyes, gritted her teeth secretly, and was actually deceived. A look of helplessness flashed in her eyes, she never thought that such a time would happen to the frightening cold God of War. It's just that even though King Qi Jing teased her like this, he couldn't help but smell sour and sweet, it seemed that he only acted like this in front of his own eyes.
It's just that such emotions just appeared, and they were pinched off by Yunshang again. Now that there are too many worries, I still have the heart to think about them.
Yun Chang lowered her head and said nothing, walked to Qingxin Hall, but didn't entertain King Jing, and went into the inner hall. Qin Yi hurriedly brought a goose-yellow dress to change for Yun Shang, Yun Shang looked at her own figure reflected in the bronze mirror, and couldn't help frowning, "This color is suitable for little girls, right? "
Qin Yi looked at Yun Shang with a smile in her eyes, "Princess, aren't you a fifteen-year-old girl?"
Yun Chang was stunned for a moment, and a look of uneasiness flew across her face. Because she had the memory of her previous life, she always felt that she was not too young, but she didn't think that the current self was just getting old.
When Yunshang walked out, she saw King Jing looking at her with burning eyes, a blush flashed across Yunshang's face, and she regretted not forcefully asking Qin Yi to change the clothes.
Prince Jing seemed to see Yun Shang's discomfort, and stood up with a smile, "Let's go, I'm afraid there are still a lot of things to do today."
Yunshang nodded, and followed Prince Jing a small step behind with her head down, but she heard Prince Jing's voice again, with usual calmness, "I've sent someone to check on the place where the flower viewing banquet was held." The place is here, if there is anything strange, we can prepare for it."
Hearing King Jing mentioning this matter, Yun Chang also calmed down a little, nodded and said, "Li Jingyan must be uneasy and kind, but, he clearly knows that we are all on guard against him, if something happens to us at the flower viewing banquet The first thing everyone suspects must be him, after all, everyone knows that you are at odds with him, why would he take such a risk?"
Prince Jing pondered for a moment, and then said coldly, "Maybe, he didn't want anything to happen to us..."
As soon as Yunshang heard it, she knew what King Jing wanted to express, "You mean, maybe he just wants us to be scapegoats?" Before King Jing could answer, Yunshang had already said with burning eyes, "Morrow For the flower viewing feast, something must happen to the two of us..."
When King Jing heard this, a faint smile appeared on his brows, but he pretended to sigh and said, "I didn't expect that you would be so lenient when you think about yourself."
Yun Shang heard all kinds of things that the Li family had treated her in the previous life, and a flash of hatred flashed in her eyes, "I can't bear to let the child not be able to trap the wolf, this is an excellent opportunity to plot against him, and he sent it to the door himself, how could I miss it?" Woolen cloth."
When Yunshang and King Jing walked to the gate of the palace, the driver of Li's mansion had already stopped there waiting. Seeing Yunshang and King Jing coming out together, Li Jingyan got off the car quickly, cupped his hands at King Jing, and said, "The old man has seen The carriage at Prince Jing’s mansion is gone, since this is the case, the old man does not invite Prince Jing to ride with him, Prince Jing will just let the coachman follow the old man’s carriage.”
King Jing responded lightly, and helped Yun Shang get into the carriage.
The flower viewing banquet is held in the most prosperous place in the imperial city. It is located on a main road in the east of the city. The road is wide. On the main road, a high platform is built. The two restaurants are elevated below, which does not affect traffic.
"Tomorrow, we only need to arrange tables and chairs on both sides of the high platform to hold a grand event." Li Jingyan smiled faintly, with a bit of pride.
Yun Chang's eyes flickered, and she said with a smile, "The Prime Minister has troubled you with such fantastic ideas."
No matter who likes to hear some compliments, Prime Minister Li is naturally not surprised. Although the person who praised them is not his favorite, Prime Minister Li still feels a little complacent in his heart.
Talked to the two of them in detail about being a flower attractor. King Jing and Yunshang also cooperated very well in the rehearsal. Prime Minister Li was very satisfied and praised with a smile, "You two are really golden boys. Jade Girl."
Prime Minister Li took the two of them to eat in the restaurant, and then asked for tomorrow's dress to be delivered to the two of them before leaving satisfactorily.
Yun Chang's eyes fell on the dress, and she smiled with interest, "The cloth of this dress is interesting."
Upon hearing this, King Jing raised his eyes to look at Yun Shang, raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Chang'er seems to know it very well, why don't you tell me a little bit about it?"
Yun Chang smiled slightly, and brushed her hand over the dress, "This cloth is called cocoon silk, but it is a rare fabric, and few people know about it. The cloth is very light and thin, even the six-layer dress is as easy to wear The weight of two pieces of clothes on weekdays is just that few people actually use it to make clothes. One is because the fabric is hard to find, and the second reason is that the cloth has a peculiar smell... If the people who wear it After sweating, the smell is even heavier..."
Upon hearing the words, King Jing pondered for a long while before saying, "Li Jingyan tried every means to get this kind of cloth to make us dresses, and why?"
Yun Chang lowered her head and looked at the scarlet clothes in her hands. The fabric was very soft and smooth. If ordinary people saw it, they would definitely think it was a rare and good cloth, but Yun Chang knew that there were some secrets hidden in it. A faint light flashed in Chang's eyes, "Maybe, I know."
Yun Chang raised her eyes and looked at King Jing, "I'll take this dress back to the palace first, and I'll bring it directly to your mansion for you tomorrow."
Prince Jing raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "Okay."
King Jing sent Yunshang to the gate of the palace, and then returned to Prince Jing's mansion. As soon as he stepped into Prince Jing's mansion, he saw the steward walking towards him in a hurry, "My lord, Duke Xia Guohua is here to visit."
"Oh? How long have you been here?" Prince Jing rolled up his sleeves and asked calmly.
The housekeeper hurriedly replied, "It should have been more than half an hour. The old slave told him that the prince had entered the palace and hadn't come back yet. I wanted to persuade him to go back to the post and wait, but he didn't want him to say that he just waited for the prince in the mansion." The old slave saw that he was old and was an important minister of the Xia Kingdom, so he took the initiative and led him to the front hall to wait."
Prince Jing nodded, "You've done a good job, go and prepare tea for me."
As King Jing said, he walked towards the front hall. As soon as he entered the door of the front hall, he saw Duke Hua standing with his back to the door. He seemed to be looking at something. King Jing paused and looked at him. The painting facing him was a picture of a hundred horses, which was drawn by Prince Jing in his spare time. The housekeeper said that it looked good and fit his status as the God of War, so he hung the painting in the front hall.
Duke Hua seemed to have heard footsteps and turned around. Prince Jing was taken aback. Why did Duke Hua look a little sad
It was just a matter of a moment, King Jing blinked, and found that Duke Hua concealed the emotions in his eyes, smiled and looked at King Jing and said, "The lord is back?"
Prince Jing nodded, went to the upper seat and sat down, "I don't know that Duke Hua is here to visit, I have neglected you, please forgive me."
Hua Guogong shook his head, "It's the old man who didn't inform you and ran over suddenly, but he didn't expect that you were not in the mansion."
"Duke Hua came to see me today, but what's the matter?" Prince Jing turned his head and looked at Duke Hua who had already sat down.
Hua Guogong's eyes fell on Prince Jing, complex emotions flashed in his eyes, he smiled after a while and said, "It's nothing, it's just that my unworthy son has been defeated by Prince Jing several times. The prince's method of marching and fighting is very admired in his heart. The old man also liked to fight when he was young, but now he is not in good health and cannot gallop on the battlefield. Cherishing talent, so I came here to visit."
Prince Jing didn't really believe it. Even though he was brave, he and Xia Guo had once been rivals. It was possible to cherish each other.
Hua Guogong seemed to know what Prince Jing was thinking, he just smiled and said, "I don't have any other intentions to come here today, but since I came to Ningguo, I haven't been able to find anyone to drink. The Seventh Prince is not well. Well, I don't dare to drink with him, so I have to come to Prince Jing's mansion to ask for a drinking companion."
Hearing this, King Jing smiled and said, "In this case, I would rather obey my orders than be respectful. My mansion is very desolate, but it is worse than being quiet. Let's drink in the mansion. Come and serve wine, put it on the lake. Go to the gazebo."
King Jing took Duke Hua to the gazebo. The wine had already been set and a few side dishes were placed. Duke Hua poured a bowl of wine with a smile, without saying a word, and made a gesture of toasting to Prince Jing. Prince Jing picked up the wine bowl, and the two drank it down in one gulp.
Duke Hua never mentioned anything about the battlefield, not even anything related to Xia or Ning. He seemed to be chatting casually and asked King Jing some questions, but he just said, "I heard that Jing The prince is the adopted son of the late emperor, but I don’t know where Prince Jing’s hometown is?” Or “Prince Jing is in a high position now, has he ever inquired about his parents?”
Prince Jing answered one by one. For example, he never knew where his real hometown was. He grew up in Jingning City in the south, but that was not necessarily his hometown, just because the one who raised him was not His biological parents were later flooded in Jingning, and his adoptive parents were gone. He was adopted in Jingning by the late emperor who came to relieve the disaster. As for finding out about his biological parents... Prince Jing shook his head. He never thought about finding his biological parents, just because he never cared about it.
After hearing this, Duke Hua sighed, "Heroes don't ask about their backgrounds." He didn't ask any more questions, and just picked up some customs and customs of the Xia Kingdom and chatted with Prince Jing, and the two could be regarded as speculative.
Early the next morning, Yunshang went to King Jing's mansion, brought the dress to King Jing, and asked him to change into it. Prince Jing touched the cloth, the cloth was still yesterday's cloth, but it seemed to be a little different. Prince Jing also trusted Yun Shang very much. Although he knew that Yun Shang must have tampered with the clothes, he changed into a formal dress without any doubt.
Dresses are always grand, and both Yunshang and Prince Jing are dressed in vermilion, which looks very festive. Coupled with the hair accessories of their respective grades, this way of dressing up makes people unable to take their eyes off.
When the two arrived at the flower viewing feast in a carriage, many people had already arrived. Civil and military officials were all sitting in their respective positions, and the ones sitting in the front were Emperor Ning and the envoys from other countries. After the officials, there are the common people in the imperial city who come to see the excitement. There are three floors inside and three floors outside.
Wang Jinhuan sat in the back seat. Seeing King Jing and Yun Shang approaching, his eyes lit up. He turned around and lay down on the back of the chair to stare at the two of them in a daze. It's very handsome to be like this, with your body, tsk, if you don't know, you think today is your big day."
King Jing and Yunshang both turned around and shot a knife at Wang Jinhuan, who was outspoken. Wang Jinhuan laughed and said, "Tsk, even the angry movements are so consistent, husband and wife look like husband and wife."
Yun Chang sighed, not knowing why Wang Shangshu was very serious, and Mrs. Wang was euphemistic and virtuous, so why did she give birth to such a son.
"My lord, my princess, the auspicious time is coming soon, and the flower viewing banquet is about to begin. I will lead you two to prepare for it first." A servant came over, King Jing nodded, and looked at Yunshang. Nodding his head, he followed the servant to the restaurant next to him.
Yunshang stood at the window and looked out. There were guards everywhere, and some hidden guards were hiding everywhere. Even among the people watching outside, there were some people who were incompatible with the people around them. people.
"Among these people, some are hidden guards, and some, I'm afraid, are not good people." King Jing's deep voice sounded in his ears, Yun Shang frowned, and left from the window, "Royal father rarely comes out of the palace once, Naturally, some people with bad intentions don’t want to miss such an opportunity.”
A few gongs and drums suddenly sounded outside, accompanied by Prime Minister Li's distant voice, "The auspicious time has come."
King Jing raised his hand, supported Yun Chang, and walked up to the high platform. There was an altar on the high platform. The two stood still in front of the altar, and heard the master of ceremonies sing in harmony, "Please invite the flower guide to sacrifice to heaven. "
Yun Shang took the incense table handed over by the palace man next to him, lit the incense, respectfully placed it on the altar, took the wine, sprinkled it in the incense ashes on the incense table, and then moved towards The altar worshiped.
After the simple worship, King Jing turned around with Yunshang to look at the people under the high platform, and said expressionlessly, a deep voice full of inner strength slowly spread, "Appreciate the flowers Banquet, start..."
The master of ceremonies hurriedly sang and said, "Flower viewing feast, open, please those who present flowers."
Yun Shang and Prince Jing stood on one side of the high platform, quietly watching the women who came up with flowers in their hands. The women were all wearing pink dresses, and the flowers in their hands in front of them were colorful.
A long table had already been set up on the high platform, and women stood behind the long table and placed flowers on the table.
Prince Jing and Yunshang walked from one end of the table to the other with a jade bottle, and sprinkled some water in each pot of flowers. This was an inherent blessing ceremony of the flower viewing feast.
After that, each woman stepped forward to show the famous flowers she brought, and this was the only chance for women to show themselves.
The women went up to show off one by one, and Yun Chang's eyes fell on Wen Ruyu. Wen Ruyu was originally extremely beautiful, but she always had a cold appearance on weekdays, which made it easy for people to ignore her own beauty. Now she stands there quietly, which is quite amazing.
Yun Chang's eyes fell on the table in front of her. There were flowers in front of everyone else, but she had only two small things on the table in front of her, which looked like a stone. Many people's eyes couldn't help but fell on the stone, with a bit of inquiry, but only Yunshang had a flash of clarity in his heart, so it was so.
Finally arrived at Wen Ruyu, Wen Ruyu smiled, put the stone in her white as jade hand, held one in each hand, quickly covered her hand, opened her mouth slightly, blew towards her hand, opened her hand again, and saw There seemed to be a crack in the stone, and a shiny green leaf jumped out from the stone. Everyone was startled, and before they could react, they saw the leaf growing rapidly at a speed visible to others, pulling out When the green buds grow to about a foot, a flower bone suddenly emerges from the top of the green bud, and the flower bone grows slowly, revealing a touch of red, and slowly blooms.
Yun Chang looked at the amazed expressions of the people below, and smiled coldly in her heart. It turned out that the person who colluded with Wen Ruyu was actually Li Jingyan.
But, have all the arrangements for the daughter of the Li family been made? Even the Wen family's daughter stepped in.
The red flower is in full bloom. Although the appearance of the flower looks top-grade, it is not the best, but the process of the blooming of the flower just now made everyone amazed, and they all became curious, "This king is the first Once I saw such a wonderful flower, Ningguo really has a lot of resources."
Xia Houjing's voice sounded admiring, "Your Majesty, I dare you, can you take that flower down and let Xiao Wang take a look and see what's going on..."
Emperor Ning laughed loudly, as if he was very satisfied with Xia Houjing's appreciation, he nodded and said, "Take it down and have a look."
At the flower viewing banquet, the flower presenters were not allowed to leave the high platform. The task of delivering flowers naturally fell on Yun Shang and King Jing. Yun Shang and Prince Jing looked at each other, walked up to Wen Ruyu with a smile, He took a flower and walked down the high platform, but just after walking a few steps, he saw the flower in Prince Jing's hand suddenly drooping down, and slowly, a withered yellow color bloomed, and in an instant, then withered...
