Three days later, Feng Feng received an invitation, she couldn't make up her mind, so she went to Xia Chao first.
"It's an invitation from Concubine Xiao." Xia Chao opened the invitation, frowned and said, "Why would she want to invite you to enjoy the flowers? I had some friendship with Prince Xiao when we were young, but it's been so long, If it weren't for the marriage between our two families, the friendship would have faded long ago, let alone the dissolution of the engagement."
Hearing what he said, Jingjing was even more uncertain, "Father, should I go then?"
"Princess Xiao also mentioned that I ran into you in the Inspiration Temple a few days ago."
Feng Feng nodded, "I didn't even think that she was Princess Xiao at the time."
"Since that's the case, it's not easy to excuse yourself because of your poor health. Forget it, you can take a few more maids and go to Prince Xiao's mansion. If you haven't come back after Shen Shi, I will pick you up in person."
"good."
It was the first time I went to see Princess Xiao formally, so I couldn’t leave empty-handed. Feng Jing brought a plate of cakes that she made herself, and a maid that Xia Chao personally picked out for her, and walked into Prince Xiao’s mansion. Nanny Guo took her to the back garden, where Princess Xiao was sitting in the pavilion, drinking tea and admiring the flowers.
"The scenery pays homage to Princess Xiao."
Concubine Xiao beckoned kindly, "Don't be too polite, come and sit down."
"Yes." Feng Guangluo sat opposite her, "Xie Wangfei."
She didn't wear a veil today, so she was able to show her beautiful face. Concubine Xiao said in admiration: "I heard that the young lady of the Xia family has an alluring appearance. The last time I saw her in a hurry, I felt extraordinary. I saw her today. The scenery is actually better than the rumors.”
"Princess praises it a lot. This is a pastry made by my daughter. I hope that the princess will not dislike it." She opened the food box, and inside was a delicate pastry.
"The scenery is not only beautiful, but also ingenious. If you really want to dislike it, you have no eyesight." Princess Xiao praised her again, pointing to a pot of peonies on the table, and she was not in a hurry to taste the scenery. Instead, he asked inadvertently: "Seeing that the flowers are blooming well today, the original intention is to invite Feng Qing to accompany me, an old man, to enjoy the flowers. What does Qing Feng think of this pot of red peonies?"
"The color is like fire, and the flower posture is beautiful. The peony is called the king of flowers, and it really deserves its reputation."
"Yes, this fire-refined peony is the most popular among all the peonies. It's a pity..."
She didn't finish her sentence, so she asked naturally, "What's the pity?"
"The peonies are magnificent and beautiful, and they will inevitably attract a lot of attention. Some people are greedy for the color and want to pick it off and put it in a vase, and some people want to pick it off and put it by their side because they are bored and lonely. Without the branches, one is doomed to live a short life, so the beauty is unlucky, the same is true of flowers and people."
Concubine Xiao obviously had something to say in her words, Feng Feng smiled reluctantly, "What the concubine said is true."
"If there was only one fire-refined peony left in the world, think about it, how many people would be willing to fight for it?"
"This... I don't know either."
"Don't be nervous about the scenery, I just asked casually, by the way, I haven't invited you to drink a cup of tea yet." Mother Guo immediately poured tea, Princess Xiao smiled and said: "This tea is a tribute from His Majesty, the scenery must be good Taste and taste."
"yes."
"Mother." As soon as Feng Jing picked up the teacup, Qi Mu walked over with a smile, he looked quite light while holding the fan, walked into the pavilion, sat down casually, and showed a warm smile to Feng Jing, "Listen Seeing that my mother had a guest, I was still curious about who it was, and wanted to take a look, it turned out to be Miss Xia."
