"..." Wu Yin'er whimpered and leaned against Bi Lan to wipe her tears. Her carefully dressed clothes were already a little messy, but she didn't dare to curse back.
Zhang Xuanwan was a little scared and hurriedly advised: "Okay, okay, let's go. We are going to the Imperial Garden in a while. We have to go." She didn't want to miss it.
"That's right, don't be angry."
"Okay..."
Wu Jinghua shook off the hands of those people, straightened his clothes vigorously, then glared at Wu Yin'er viciously, turned around and left.
Zhang Chunwan and the others immediately ran to catch up with Wu Jinghua. Zhao Moer turned back and glanced at Wu Yin'er, but said nothing.
Seeing that those people had gone far, Bi Lan also cried: "They have gone too far. Let's tell the old lady when we go back." After she said that, she felt a sense of loss in her heart. This was not the first time. When had the old lady really Protecting Miss Fifth...
"Forget it, aren't we used to it?" These people are like this. When they are happy, they can give her a good look and play with her like a dog, but when they are unhappy, they can hit her and scold her if they want. scold. Wu Yin'er wiped the tears from her face. Fortunately, she didn't apply too much, otherwise it would all be spent.
"Miss..." Bilan cried even more sadly. The third young lady who was the least popular had turned over. When would it be the fifth young lady's turn.
"Let's go." Wu Yin'er pulled Bilan and slowly followed Wu Jinghua and the others not far behind. They didn't know the way, so now they had no choice but to follow Wu Jinghua.

the other side.
Shen Yanhuan held Wu Sheyue's hand intimately, and they went to the imperial garden.
It is said that the annual Hundred Flowers Banquet starts in the evening at Linghe Hall. But before that, most people would choose to spend time admiring flowers in the Royal Garden.
There is a man-made river in the Imperial Garden. The garden is equipped with rockery pavilions, small bridges and flowing water. Hundreds of flowers are blooming on both sides of the river bank. Viewing flowers there is truly a feast of flowers.
Shen Yanhuan said that the Imperial Garden had been overhauled twice in history, and the last time it was done by the late emperor to please the current Queen Mother.
Because of the beauty of the Imperial Garden, this is where the most people come and play every year. There are competitions in pot throwing, archery, and guessing. As time went by, gathering in the Royal Garden before the Hundred Flowers Banquet gradually became a fixed habit.
Shen Yanhuan often went in and out of the palace, so she was very familiar with the roads in the palace. She also took Wu Sheyue on a few more scenic trails. Explain to her the construction of various scenery in the palace, the history of the pavilions and interesting cultural facts.
Shen Yanhuan was good at telling stories, which were much more interesting than those in boring history books. Wu Sheyue herself had also been exposed to some of Long Fu's history, so she kept listening silently and occasionally asked questions.
Wu Lixiang was afraid that she would be ignored and excluded, so she clung to Wu Sheyue's arm all the way. But she found that this was of no use at all. The point was that she couldn't get into the conversation between these two people at all!
Wu Lixiang was very anxious again. She didn't care what Wu Sheyue would think of her, she was only worried that Shen Yanhuan would find herself boring.
After Wu Lixiang thought for a while, she felt that she could not sit still and wait for death. Therefore, no matter what Shen Yanhuan said later, she would try her best to add a few words, either echoing or joking.
It would be fine if she just interrupted, but Wu Lixiang doesn't understand history and common sense (which is common sense to Shen Yanhuan), but she still insists on talking about history, which is very ridiculous.
Shen Yanhuan was tired of being interrupted too many times, and after a while she stopped talking.
But Wu Lixiang didn't think that she had made Shen Yanhuan unhappy. Since Shen Yanhuan didn't speak, she talked more, chirping at everything she saw along the way. She thinks she is warm and lively and attracts attention, but in fact she is very annoying.
After a while, these people finally arrived at the Royal Garden. When there were more people around, Wu Lixiang shut up at the right time.
Girls in twos and threes gathered together in the garden and chatted in low voices. Occasionally, a few young men also looked at the scenery.
As soon as Shen Yanhuan appeared, many people nodded in favor of her. She is the only daughter of the general, and is much more noble than the legitimate daughter of the same rank.
Shen Yanhuan has an open-minded and cheerful personality. Regardless of whether the other person is familiar with her or not, she will always respond with a smile.
Wu Lixiang stood next to Wu Sheyue, watching the noble daughters coming towards her to say hello, and the noble sons also nodded. A very strange feeling arose in her heart - she had never experienced such special treatment!
At this moment, Wu Lixiang understood more and more: Wu Sheyue really hugged a thick thigh!
As she thought this, her eyes suddenly brightened, and she suddenly stretched out her hand to hold Wu Sheyue's arm intimately. She didn't dare to go around and pull Shen Yanhuan over, but if Shen Yanhuan liked Wu Sheyue, then... she wouldn't mind "burying the hatchet" and acting out a beautiful picture of sisterly love.
In fact, the concubines of the Prime Minister's Palace may not be worse than the legitimate daughters of other officials' families, but Wu Lixiang has been overwhelmed by Wu Liuyun and Wu Jinghua. She urgently needs someone to help her push the stone off her head and seize her position in the Prime Minister's Palace. .
Wu Sheyue frowned and was about to take out her hand immediately. However, Wu Lixiang would not give up so willingly. She noticed Wu Sheyue's resistance, so she leaned closer and almost took Wu Sheyue's entire arm into her arms.
Wu Sheyue and Shen Yanhuan came here arm in arm, which was eye-catching enough. Wu Lixiang's actions undoubtedly put Wu Sheyue's position in the center more conspicuously.
Not only that, Wu Lixiang also said sweetly: "Oh, third sister, what's wrong with you?" When she did this, more eyes around her looked at Wu Sheyue. Everyone looked at Miss Shen and the people wearing veils with curiosity in their eyes.
Wu Lixiang was smiling happily. At this time, the lady closest to them came up and said curiously: "Miss Shen came a little late today. She just finished playing pot throwing over there. I don't know... this person Whose daughter is this girl?"
"Prime Minister's Mansion, Wu Sheyue." Wu Sheyue nodded to her, and then secretly used force to pull her arm out of Wu Lixiang's arms.
"Ah..." Wu Lixiang thought she had tightened her grip tightly enough, but she didn't expect to be pulled and staggered. This is the first time Wu Lixiang has tried Wu Sheyue's strength, which is really not much worse than that of a man.
The young lady who came to talk was stunned and many other young ladies nearby also started whispering when they heard Wu Sheyue's name.
This is the Miss Wu San whom the rumors say...
Wu Lixiang steadied herself in panic, looked up and saw the young lady's expression. For a moment, she thought that the other party's surprise was because of her own embarrassment just now. Then his face suddenly became hot, and even though he applied a thick layer of white powder, it still showed a faint red color.
Looking at the people around her looking at her and whispering in low voices, Wu Lixiang had never felt so ashamed. She shamelessly approached, but was thrown away... At this time, she felt that everyone around her was looking at her, and they were all laughing at her!
Wu Lixiang wished she could disappear from the eyes of these people.
The young lady who came to talk had actually never paid much attention to Wu Lixiang. She just glanced at Wu Sheyue a few more times, then carefully considered her words and said, "I've heard about her reputation for a long time. It turns out she is really a strange... strange woman."
Wu Sheyue didn't care at all if others judged her as weird. Her eyes above the veil curled up, probably in response to a smile.
The woman greeted Shen Yanhuan again, exchanged a few words and then turned and left.
Wu Lixiang's eyes were red and she felt aggrieved. She thought she had already spoken and there were so many people around, so Wu Sheyue would be embarrassed to cause embarrassment. But I didn't expect that she didn't care about this at all, nor did she care about the sister relationship with her!
She said pitifully and accusingly: "Third sister, you..."
Perhaps her voice was too soft, or Shen Yanhuan interrupted on purpose. She pulled Wu Sheyue and said, "Let's go, there is a clump of crabapples over there. They bloom very luxuriantly every year."
When Wu Lixiang reacted, they had already walked out seven or eight meters away.
This time, Wu Lixiang finally stopped following. She was already here anyway, and she didn't need anyone else to lead her.
She glared angrily at Shen Yanhuan's back and cursed secretly, "What kind of daughter of the general's palace can actually fall in love with a bitch like Wu Sheyue? She is really blind!" Just wait, sooner or later you will regret it!

Wu Sheyue and Shen Yanhuan ignored the scrutinizing gazes and went to find a shady place to take a rest. Although the sky is cloudy, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the flowers are not wilting. I don’t know how many people have worked hard to water them.
Without Wu Lixiang, everyone felt much better. Wu Sheyue leaned on the tree trunk and looked around. In just a short time, more and more people gathered in the imperial garden. Compared to the scene at the birthday banquet, it really pales in comparison.
She sighed: "This can be considered a warm-up match."
"The annual Hundred Flowers Banquet is a war without smoke~" Shen Yanhuan said to her with a smile. Then she waved her hand and asked Xianguo to pick a flower for her.
There were only a few people who really dared to pick flowers in the imperial garden. Many people saw the fairy fruit picking among the begonia flowers, but no one dared to say anything.
Wu Sheyue thought to herself that she actually dared to destroy flowers in the emperor's garden. It seemed that Shen Yanhuan's status was much higher than she thought.
After a while, Xian Guo unceremoniously grabbed a handful of flowers and came back, and then she and Shen Yanhuan weaved garlands with great interest.
Gradually, the sun is moving slowly, and there are more and more people in the garden. Wu Sheyue, the only one wearing a veil, was not so conspicuous. Soon, Wu Sheyue also joined the ranks of making wreaths.
While they were playing, they suddenly saw someone coming to the other side of the garden. Many ladies looked over there, and even more young men gathered around them enthusiastically. (To be continued)
