"Miss Lu." Murong Xue greeted her casually, and was about to get up and leave. Lu Wanwan took a step forward and blocked her way: "Miss Murong is also coming to the Hundred Flowers Banquet!"
That half-smile expression made Murong Xue frowned slightly: "My business has nothing to do with Miss Lu!"
Lu Wanwan chuckled: "Ms. Murong participated in the Hundred Flowers Banquet to win the prince's favor and become the prince's concubine. It really has nothing to do with me..."
Favored by the prince? Become a princess? Could it be that this Hundred Flowers Banquet is a concubine selection banquet for the princes
Murong Xue's eyes froze, she looked up quietly, and saw that she was standing on the edge of the imperial garden, a beautiful daughter dressed up, sitting or standing in the imperial garden, it was too beautiful...
"The princes of the royal family are handsome, young and promising. Their princes and concubines should be pure and flawless noble girls, not those poor girls who have been divorced..." In the last sentence, Lu Wanwan accentuated her voice, mocking her. The emotion is beyond words.
Murong Xue's eyes were cold, and she said unceremoniously: "I am retiring for the sake of Qingyan, the diplomatic relationship between Mobei and Mobei, and to make a couple of lovers, the emperor agreed with me. Some people even dare to insist on it. Ridiculous accusation, really stupid!"
Lu Wanwan's beautiful face was so dark that it was about to drip ink: "Murong Xue, who are you calling stupid?"
"I didn't name anyone, Miss Lu doesn't need to be seated." Murong Xue replied casually, with contempt in the corners of her eyes and brows.
Lu Wanwan's complexion was gloomy, and she looked at Murong Xue coldly: "Didn't you come to the banquet as a divorcee, marrying the prince, just say it directly, why bother to find so many high-sounding reasons..."
"Wrong, I just happened to pass by here, I didn't come to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and I'm not in the mood to marry the prince." Murong Xue said every word.
"Sophistry!" Lu Wanwan snorted disdainfully, obviously not believing her words.
"Believe it or not, it's getting late, I'm leaving, farewell!" Murong Xue said casually, and was about to leave, when the eunuch's characteristic high-pitched voice rang out: "The emperor is here, the empress is here, the second prince is here, The fourth prince arrives..."
The bustling imperial garden was instantly silent, and everyone knelt down to salute: "See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and the empress is a thousand years old."
Murong Xue also knelt down along with the crowd, a look of helplessness flashed in her eyes, the emperor and empress have arrived, she can't move around at will for the time being...
The emperor wore a bright yellow dragon robe, strode to the front of the imperial garden, sat on a golden chair, and looked down at the crowd: "Pingshen!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone stood up and sat down gracefully. Murong Xue also bit the bullet and sat in the last corner: The Emperor sat on the highest golden chair, overlooking the entire imperial garden. From the bottom of the eye, she is not suitable for action for the time being, so she will be a little transparent, sit here for a while, and wait for him to pay less attention to the courtiers, then she will wait for the opportunity to leave...
Murong Xue blinked her eyes, her cold eyes swept over a young and beautiful noble daughter, she looked towards the male guest area, Ye Tianqi, Ye Yichen, Mu Liufeng and many other young talents in the capital were there, but only I don't see Ouyang Shaochen...
Ouyang Shaochen is the eldest son of Prince Xiaoyao, he must have received invitations for the banquet, why didn't he come
Murong Xue frowned puzzled, and from the corner of her eye she saw the emperor, and saw that he was casually scanning a famous noble daughter. The daughters were young, beautiful, dignified and decent, he was very satisfied, and his majestic eyes softened. He said kindly: "I had a dream last night, and I dreamed of colorful clouds floating in the sky. I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't understand what it meant. I wonder if anyone here can explain it to me?"
The young talents lowered their heads one after another when they heard the words. The emperor and the empress have hinted that the princes have reached the marriageable age. This Hundred Flowers Banquet is to select concubines for the princes. Don't join in the fun.
The famous daughters looked at each other and frowned slightly. They had heard long ago that the emperor attached great importance to the selection of concubines by the prince this time, and they were going to write a test in person. They had read a lot of poems and books, and they were ready early, but, They have never heard of the exam questions given by the emperor, and they are too difficult...
The corners of Murong Xue's mouth curled up: The exam questions given by the emperor are not difficult, as long as you calm down and think about it carefully, you will be able to think of the answer, but I don't know if the talented women of Qingyan Kingdom can calm down under the gaze of the Ninth Five Lord. make up your mind...
The famous daughters frowned, eagerly thinking about the answer. A beautiful girl stood up, her red lips lightened, and her eyes looked forward. It was Lu Wanwan: "Your Majesty, I have come up with an answer. I don't know if it is correct."
"But it doesn't matter!" The emperor said kindly, with kind eyes.
"Colorful!" Lu Wanwan said every word: The colorful clouds are flying around in the sky, isn't it just colorful!
Murong Xue smiled: Lu Wanwan is quick-witted, but she is still a bit short...
"The meaning is similar, but a little different!" The emperor looked kindly, but his tone was a little more regretful.
Lu Wanwan's beautiful face was slightly pale, she smiled embarrassedly, and sat down gracefully.
"Is there anyone else who can come up with an answer?" The emperor's majestic gaze swept over a famous daughter, and they all lowered their heads and remained silent: Lu Wanwan's talent is one of the best in the capital, and she answered all the questions wrong , How could they answer correctly.
The silence of the audience made Lu Wanwan feel better. They couldn't think of an answer at all, but she came up with something similar in meaning, and her talent was slightly higher.
From the corner of the eye, he suddenly saw Murong Xue sitting in the corner, and saw that she was holding a white porcelain teacup, sipping green tea one after another, with a carefree appearance, as if she didn't take the emperor's question to heart at all.
The corners of Lu Wanwan's mouth curled up in a strange arc, and she raised her voice, "I've heard that Miss Murong is smart, did you come up with the answer?"
Murong Xue's movement of sipping tea suddenly stopped, and she raised her head to look at Lu Wanwan little by little, only to see Lu Wanwan sitting behind the long table, looking at her with a smile, her eyes flickering with undisguised Schadenfreude: They racked their brains for this problem, and their hair was about to fall out. How could Murong Xue be so carefree...
Mu Liufeng looked at Murongxue, and almost spewed out a mouthful of fine wine, it was really Murongxue, why did she come to the Hundred Flowers Banquet
This year's Hundred Flowers Banquet is for the selection of concubines for the prince, and the betrothed girls, even if they receive invitations, they don't have to come to the banquet...
Ye Tianqi also looked at Murong Xue, and a meaningful flash of light flashed in his eyes: Murong Xue was sitting in the last seat at the very end, very remote and hidden, and the people in front blocked her heavily, if it wasn't for Lu Wanwan calling Without her name, he couldn't find her at all.
