On the fifth day of May, in front of Danfeng Garden on Changping Avenue, a Zhulun cart and two carriages stopped. Nangong Yue, Nangong Cheng, Nangong Lin and Bai Muxiao were supported by their maidservants to get out of the carriage. .
Several maidservants in pink stood guard at the door to receive the guests. As soon as they saw Nangong Yue's Zhulun chariot and the chariot of Nangong Mansion, a maid immediately greeted them, went forward to salute, and then led everyone into the garden.
This year's Fang Banquet was held in this Danfeng Garden.
It is said that the first owner of Danfeng Garden was Princess Jinglan from the previous dynasty. Princess Jinglan loved peonies, so she begged her father to build a peony garden. Gradually, rare peonies from all over the Central Plains gathered here, forming a beautiful garden. Today's scale, it is said that there are nearly 5,000 pots of peonies inside.
When the first emperor came to the throne, he changed the name of the Peony Garden to Danfeng Garden, and planted maple trees in it, which belonged to the royal family.
Since the founding of Dayu, only the royal family and nobles can enter Danfeng Garden, and probably only the status and status of Princess Yuncheng can hold Fang Banquet in Danfeng Garden.
As soon as you step into Danfeng Garden, you will see a rockery made of Taihu Lake stones, with jagged rocks.
The maid took Nangong Yue and the others to the flower and tree corridor on the left, and walked along the winding flower and tree corridor for a while, and soon smelled the rich fragrance of flowers, which filled the heart and lungs, and looked around , I saw a hundred flowers in the garden in full bloom, full of colorful flowers, competing for splendor. Passing this way, we can see that every mountain, every rock, every flower, every tree, every water and every pavilion are all quite ingenious, and everyone can't see them all.
The servant girl led Nangong Yue and the others to the flower hall in Xiyuan to meet Princess Yuncheng.
Yuncheng was wearing a snail bun, wearing a vermilion palace attire, a purple gold three-headed fringed phoenix hairpin, and two white jade peonies on his temples, looking very regal.
After saluting to Princess Yuncheng, I just got up when I saw a servant girl hurried in and said: "Your Highness, Your Highness the Third Prince and the Second Princess are here. The Third Prince is going to the son-in-law's side, and the Second Princess is here." I am going here to greet His Highness!"
The news that the third prince and the second princess came to the party made everyone present have different expressions, Nangong Cheng was surprised, Nangong Lin was delighted, Bai Muxiao was indifferent, and Nangong Yue frowned slightly.
Yuncheng raised her eyebrows slightly, as the host, she naturally did not welcome this kind of uninvited guest, but it was a pity that the two of them could not rush back because of their identities. She could only nod her head and said, "Let the second princess come in."
After a while, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl came in from outside the hall. She was wearing a pink gauze short jacket, with bright eyes and white teeth, looking forward to her appearance, walked up to Princess Yuncheng, and bowed gracefully: "Haoxue has seen the emperor's aunt."
Princess Yuncheng smiled faintly: "Get up."
"Thank you, Aunt Huang."
After the second princess saluted to Princess Yuncheng, Nangong Yue led Nangong Cheng, Nangong Lin and Bai Muxiao to salute the second princess again: "I have seen Your Highness the Second Princess."
The second princess immediately said familiarly: "Sister Yue, you don't need to be too polite." The affectionate look seemed to be as close as sisters to Nangong Yue.
Afterwards, Yuncheng gave her a seat, and the second princess sat on the left side of Yuncheng. Nangong Yue was kindly pulled to sit next to her by Yuncheng, looked at her with a smile on her face and said, "Sister Yue, I haven't seen you for a while. You've grown a lot taller."
Nangong Yue smiled and said: "Your Highness, my mother also said the same, saying that I am as tall as I can, and I don't grow flesh."
"Don't worry, when you grow up, you will gain weight. In three or four years, maybe you will still dislike yourself for being fat." Yuncheng looked at Nangong Yue lovingly, with a very gentle and intimate smile.
Although Princess Yuncheng has been very kind to her since she healed Yuan Yuyi's face injury, Nangong Yue always feels that the princess seems to be getting closer to her today... as if she really treats her like Your own junior
I didn't expect the eldest princess to be so close to Nangong Yue... Nangong Lin felt a little uncomfortable watching from behind, but thinking that even Nangong Cheng was not treated differently by the eldest princess, she felt a little more balanced.
The second princess watched Yuncheng keep pulling Nangong Yue to talk, and couldn't help but said: "The imperial aunt only talks to sister Yue, and ignores Haoxue, does it mean that she doesn't like Haoxue anymore?"
Yun Cheng felt displeased, could it be that she as an aunt depends on the second princess's face when she talks to someone? The concubine who is really raised by a young woman can't get on the stage, Xiaojiazi is very angry!
Yuncheng was thinking like this in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just said lightly: "Haoxue, how can you do that, you are my own niece, how can I 'hate' you."
Nangong Yue obviously felt Yuncheng's meaningful words. The second princess called herself Haoxue to Yuncheng, but Yuncheng called herself Bengong to the second princess. The second princess just asked Yuncheng if he didn't like her, but Yuncheng didn't say whether he liked her or not, but just said how could he "hate" you!
It seems that Princess Yuncheng definitely doesn't like the second princess...
Yuncheng greeted the second princess politely, and then said: "Okay, it's rare for you little girls to come to the Danfeng Garden once, so I won't keep you any longer, you go to the Peony Garden first. Let's enjoy the peonies." She smiled mysteriously and said meaningfully, "I specially prepared a small game for you all, you have to be careful when viewing the flowers, otherwise there may be unexpected surprises."
Mini game? Surprise
The girls were all at a loss, but they didn't ask any more questions, they just bowed to Yuncheng and then they left together.
Under the guidance of a maidservant in pink, they arrived at the peony garden, and saw that the garden was full of peonies of various colors, blooming in full bloom, including He Hong, Fei Lai Hong, Yuan Jia Hong, Zui Yan Hong, Yun Hong, Tian Wai Hong. , Yibrush Yellow, Soft Strip Yellow, Yan'an Yellow, Xianchun Red, Trembling Fengjiao... The colorful and fragrant fragrances are overflowing, making people dazzled and dizzy.
The Peony Garden is divided into two parts by a large piece of milky white light-transmitting veil. Next to the veil, every few steps, there is a maidservant in pink guarding her. When she walks closer, a figure can be seen on the other end of the veil. Shaking, a male voice faintly talking came over.
The maid who led the way explained while walking: "Your Highness Second Princess, Princess Yaoguang, two girls from Nangong, and Miss Bai, on the other side of the veil are male guests admiring the flowers. But please rest assured, here every There are maids guarding every few steps, and the male guests will never bump into the girls."
Nangong Yue nodded slightly, and continued walking forward together with Nangong Cheng without looking sideways.
Nangong Lin, who was walking behind, subconsciously slowed down, intending to show her best demeanor in front of others. As she walked, she couldn't help but glance at the veil a few times.
At this time, the second princess said: "So the male guests are enjoying the flowers over there, and the third brother of the palace may already be there." After a pause, she said with a smile, "Say Wake up, the first time I heard the name of sister Yue was from brother Sanhuang. Brother Sanhuang was full of praise for sister Yue's medical skills, and said that he had always wanted to find a chance to consult with sister Yue face to face. Some…”
Bai Muxiao, who was at the side, could hear something. She quickly glanced at the second princess, thinking: Could it be that the second princess wants to match Nangong Yue and the third prince? I don't know what the second princess meant. Or does it mean the third prince or Concubine Zhang
While thinking about it, she looked at Nangong Yue with great interest, and also wanted to see how this cousin Yue would respond. After all, the position of the third concubine should be very attractive to most girls, right
Nangong Yue's expression was as usual, she didn't show any shyness or refused to welcome her, she just said indifferently: "His Royal Highness Second Princess, if His Royal Highness Third Prince is interested in medical skills, you can go to the imperial doctor in the palace, why bother to look far away."
The second princess immediately said: "How can those quack doctors compare to sister Yue!"
This second princess really did not spare any effort to deceive people, and she offended all the imperial doctors with one sentence! Nangong Yue sneered in her heart, but said calmly: "Your Highness, the second princess, has won the award. The medical skills are extensive and profound, and the imperial doctor You and Yaoguang just have their own strengths. Today's rare Fang Banquet, let's not talk about it, so as not to let down this great beauty!"
After Nangong Yue said so, the second princess was naturally too embarrassed to stick to this topic, showing a trace of embarrassment.
In the peony garden, there are already many girls admiring the flowers, all the girls dressed up around the colorful peonies, people don't know whether to appreciate the flowers or the beauty.
Although Nangongyue, Nangongzheng and Nangonglin had participated in Fang Banquet once, they still couldn't recognize them all, but quite a few recognized Nangongyue as the third daughter of the Nangong family who had just been conferred the title of Lord of Yaoguang by the emperor.
Today, Nangong Yue can be regarded as the topic of conversation among the girls. In just over a year, she has been promoted from an unknown little girl to the county lord, and now she is the first-rank princess. She is definitely deeply favored by the emperor.
Those girls who are good at management took the initiative to go forward to salute Nangong Yue, Nangong Yue accepted it neither humble nor overbearing, and introduced the second princess to them. The girls hurriedly greeted the second princess, and started talking around her, which gave Nangong Yue a chance to escape, and found Jiang Yixi, Yuan Yuyi and others under the guidance of the maid who led the way.
When Jiang Yixi saw Nangong Yue and the others, she was very happy and said, "Sister Cheng, sister Yue! You are here, help me think about it together, what is the game that His Royal Highness the eldest princess is talking about? We have racked our brains, Still haven't figured out what's going on!"
"Yes, Sister Yue, Sister Xi and I have been thinking about it, but we haven't figured out why." Jiang Yixi's friend Ye Rongrong complained with a bright face, "I asked Liushuang County Lord several times, and she just Laugh, and refuse to say a word!" As she spoke, she glared at Yuan Yuyi angrily, her cheeks bulging.
"If this is broken, then what's the fun of the game, anyway, the secret is in this peony garden, you just have to find it." Yuan Yuyi obviously dressed up a lot today, wearing a crimson peony flower densely woven with gold thread There is a peony silk flower on her head, and the long tassels are made of rice grain-sized pink pearls, hanging from the stamens of the peony, swaying slightly between her white earlobes, and the end is bright and radiant.
"Sister Xi," Nangong Yue persuaded with a slight smile on her lips, "Why do you care about games so much? It's thanks to His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess that you can come to Danfeng Garden to enjoy peonies. Many peonies here are very rare. of."
Nangong Cheng nodded approvingly and said: "Sister San is right, sister Xi, don't think too much, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge, maybe take it easy, or you will find something unexpected."
"Yeah!" Nangong Lin hurriedly said with a smile, "Sister Xi, the peonies here are so beautiful, look, is that branch 'Drunken Royal Concubine'?" She pointed to a pot of peonies not far behind Jiang Yixi .
"Drunken imperial concubine?" Jiang Yixi became interested, "Let's go over and have a look."
A group of people came to the pot of peony that Nangong Lin pointed out, but saw that it had huge flowers, and the pink and purple petals were gorgeous in color.
"The branches are soft, the flower heads are drooping, and it looks slender and drunk. It really lives up to its name of 'drunken imperial concubine'." Nangong Cheng couldn't help sighing.
"Quick, look at this..." Ye Rongrong's exclamation reached everyone's ears, "This should be 'New Flower Empress'?"
Everyone was immediately distracted and walked to a pot of purple peonies.
Jiang Yixi exclaimed again and again: "I heard that 'New Flower Empress' is a new tribute flower species, and one plant can bloom hundreds of flowers, just like a body full of wreaths, so beautiful..."
A group of people admired the flowers and chatted all the way. Jiang Yixi walked beside Nangong Yue seemingly casually, and said softly: "The envoy from Xirong has arrived in the capital. After I told my father and mother last time, my mother went to After seeing the Empress, the Empress has already agreed. Sister Yue, thank you for reminding me."
Nangong Yue smiled and said: "Maybe I'm just overthinking, after all, there is another person in the palace..."
She made a "two" gesture. Although it is common for the daughters of the clan and ministers to be named princesses and relatives, after all, no one can bear to part with their own daughters, and there is a princess of the right age in the palace. With such a character, even if she wants to protect the second princess, she will not force others too much. It's just that this matter has not been settled for a day, and we still need to be careful. Fortunately, the Jiang family still has a queen in the palace...
No matter how much Jiang Yixi felt that the second princess was wronged by marrying someone older than her father, she would not want to replace her by herself. It's just a little sad in my heart.
"Don't mention this, let's enjoy the flowers today." Nangong Yue said with a smile, "... Sister Xi, look, what are they doing there?"
Looking in the direction indicated by Nangong Yue, I saw five or six girls pointing around a peony.
"Second Miss Wang," Jiang Yixi recognized one of the girls wearing a scarlet twig embroidered lotus pattern gown, and asked, "What are you doing?"
The girls turned their heads and saw Nangong Yue and his party, and hurriedly saluted, the second girl Wang replied: "Miss Jiang, we are trying to guess what kind of peony this plant is."
"That's right..." Another girl in a silver-blue gown frowned and said, "We can't figure out what kind of peony this is."
Yuan Yuyi looked at Nangong Cheng with a smile and said: "Miss Nangong, you have a lot of knowledge, why don't you take a look?"
"Okay!" Nangong Cheng readily agreed.
Everyone walked to the peony, and saw that some of the peony's flowers were not fully bloomed, and they were light yellow; some flowers were in full bloom, and they were yellow and white.
Nangong Cheng looked at it carefully for a while, and then said: "I have never seen this peony, nor have I heard it mentioned by others. I don't know what kind it is." Then she asked hesitantly, "Is it a newly cultivated variety?"
Yuan Yuyi clapped her hands and praised: "Miss Nangong guessed right, it is indeed a new variety." She smiled on her face, "It was newly bred by the gardeners in our mansion. Mother thought about today's Fang Banquet, Let someone move here..."
"It was cultivated in the princess's mansion." Nangong Lin boasted hastily, "It really looks noble and elegant, extraordinary."
Immediately someone asked: "Master, do you know if this flower has a name?"
Yuan Yuyi immediately said: "Not yet, it's rare for everyone here to appreciate this flower, why not give it a name, we will choose the best one, and use it as the name, what do you think?"
The girls present were all moved when they heard this. If this peony flower is finally named by myself... maybe it will be favored by Princess Yuncheng, and it will even show up in front of those aristocratic princes. A good marriage.
"Why don't we call it 'Yuanhuang'." Ye Rongrong said with a smile.
Yuan Yuyi couldn't help but nodded her forehead and said: "You stalker!" Then she looked at the other girls, "Girls, if you have any good ideas, please feel free to tell them."
Gradually, one after another, girls spoke out the nicknames they wanted, but Yuan Yuyi was not very satisfied.
What cloud yellow, yellow jade white, flower yellow... I always felt that something was missing, until Nangong Cheng said "Yuyi Huang", Yuan Yuyi couldn't help but her eyes lit up, clapping her hands and applauding: "Okay. Yuyi Huang, the most noble There is nothing better than the yellow of the royal clothes, which is imposing."
Everyone also nodded and applauded, and the atmosphere became more harmonious and joyful.
Nangong Yue watched with a smile on the sidelines, while also paying attention to Bai Muxiao's movements. From the beginning to the end, Bai Muxiao has been admiring the flowers by herself, neither catering to the princess nor having fun with everyone, as if she had no desire Begging, just to come to Fang Banquet to appreciate peonies.
Nangong Yue's eyes flashed, and the corners of her mouth curved into a smile that was not a smile. It's rare that the third prince is here today, and I hope their couple from the previous life can continue their relationship!
On the other side, Yuan Yuyi ordered someone to fetch a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked Nangong Cheng to write the three characters "Yuyihuang" by hand, and then handed it to a maid and said, "Go and give this to mother, and say it is Nangong The eldest girl named the pot of yellow peony."
The servant girl took the order and left, followed by another servant girl who whispered something in Yuan Yuyi's ear. Yuan Yuyi showed a subtle expression on her face and nodded to show that she understood.
And the girls on the side have already chattered around Nangong Cheng:
"Miss Nangong really has learned a lot."
"Yuyihuang, this peony really deserves the name, it's wonderful."
"..."
When the girls were chatting happily, a somewhat familiar and delicate female voice suddenly came from behind: "What are you all doing here?"
Everyone was startled, and they followed the prestige, only to see Qu Jiayue, the Princess of Mingyue, coming in style. She was wearing a silk satin dress with pinched teeth and flowers, and a peony-shaped jewel bead flower was inserted obliquely in her hair. In the bun, she is unparalleled in beauty.
"Meet Princess Mingyue!"
The girls hastily bowed their knees to salute Qu Jiayue, but Nangong Yue just nodded to her slightly, which was regarded as an equal salute. At this time, I only heard a surprise call from behind: "Mingyue." Not far away, the second princess looked at Qu Jiayue with a smile.
Qu Jiayue hurriedly walked up to the Second Princess, and after saluting, she said in surprise, "Your Highness, Second Princess, why are you here?"
The second princess smiled and said: "I came here with the third emperor brother, father and mother are naturally at ease, besides, the owner here today is the emperor's aunt, what can happen."
"His Royal Highness Second Princess and Third Prince are here too?" Qu Jiayue was even more surprised.
"Yes." The second princess slightly hooked her lips.
When the other girls around heard that the third prince had come, their eyes lit up immediately, and they thought: If they left a good impression on the second princess, they might be able to let the third prince remember themselves through the mouth of the second princess! So, they Soon they all gathered around, saluted and talked with the second princess. For a while, the atmosphere was very lively, but Qu Jiayue was left out in the cold. Annoyance flashed across Qu Jiayue's eyes, but she returned to normal immediately.
"Princess," Nangong Cheng didn't go to the second princess's place. After hesitating, she took a step forward and said to Qu Jiayue, "I haven't seen you in a few months, how is the princess?" Although Nangong Cheng felt a little uncomfortable, But thinking back to when I was in Cuiwei Mountain back then, I was so close to Princess Mingyue, and they were friends in need. How can I say that I shouldn't alienate her because of my brother.
Qu Jiayue looked at Nangong Cheng, deliberately showing hesitation: "This girl is..." She seemed to remember again, "So it's Miss Nangong!" Her attitude was clearly satirizing Nangong Cheng Pretend to be cooked.
None of the other girls wanted to offend the domineering Princess Mingyue, so they backed away without a trace, not wanting to suffer disaster. Nangong Lin shrank her body and hid in the crowd, fearing that Qu Jiayue's next shot would be aimed at her.
On the outing in Cuiwei Mountain last year, Jiang Yixi and the others saw Qu Jiayue's intimacy with Nangong Cheng, but now they turned their faces and made this attitude like a book. Although Jiang Yixi didn't know what Princess Mingyue was suffering from, she couldn't stand it anymore, and was about to speak, but was held down by Nangong Cheng, who shook her head at Jiang Yixi with a wry smile, thinking: It seems that when I was in Cuiwei Mountain last year, The reason why Princess Mingyue is so affectionate to her is indeed related to her elder brother Nangong Cheng!
Since Nangong Cheng didn't intend to care about it, Jiang Yixi didn't say anything either.
The atmosphere was awkward, when I saw a servant girl rushing to the girls holding a piece of paper, saluted Yuan Yuyi and said, "Master, this is what His Royal Highness the Princess ordered the servants to bring here, and the male guests are also here for the sake of it." Huang Mudan has been named, please girls have a look."
When everyone heard that the male guest had also named the yellow peony, they all became curious.
Yuan Yuyi took the paper, but saw that the characters on it were strong, rigorous in structure, and self-contained, she secretly praised "good characters" in her heart, and then said: "Yu Pao Huang."
There was only one word difference between Yuyi Huang and Yupao Huang, and Nangong Cheng was taken aback.
"Yuyi Huang, Yupao Huang..." Jiang Yixi smiled and rubbed his hands, "It's really a coincidence, I don't know who named it?"
The servant girl immediately replied, "It's Mr. Hualiu from Jinke."
"Is this written by Liu Tanhua?" Hearing Liu Tanhua's name, a girl approached Yuan Yuyi curiously: "County Lord, can we appreciate Liu Tanhua's writing."
Naturally, Yuan Yuyi would not refuse, and handed the paper to the girl.
It has only been more than a month since Chunwei, and the top three of this class are the focus of everyone's attention in the capital, especially the young and handsome Liu Tanhua, who is the most talked about. Someone said that in the Golden Temple that day, The emperor wanted him to be the second place in the list, but he saw that Cheng Bang was middle-aged and fat, and his appearance really didn't match Tanhua, so he adjusted the rankings of Cheng and Liu, and that's how Liu Tanhua got the name of Tanhua. …
Although knowing that most of these anecdotes circulating in the market are false, ladies still listen to them with gusto.
All of a sudden, the peony garden became lively, and other girls heard that there was Liu Tanhua's calligraphy here, and they all ran over to have a look.
Seeing this, Qu Jiayue felt even more unhappy. Because of Nangong Sheng and Liu Qingqing's marriage, she even hated Liu Qingyun, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists at her sides.
hateful!
A glint of haze flashed in her eyes, and she said with a smile: "Miss Nangong and Liu Tanhua really have a good understanding, the yellow royal clothes and the yellow royal robes have the same effect." She looked at Nangong Cheng with a half-smile.
The original intention of this Fang Banquet is a blind date meeting, the meaning behind Qu Jiayue's words is obvious.
The girls present who didn't know what to do still thought it was true, and felt that this Fang Banquet might be another good story, so they all whispered to each other.
"Oh!" Qu Jiayue suddenly exclaimed, as if thinking of something, "I remember that Nangong Mansion and Liu Mansion just held a wedding, right?"
Nangong Cheng's pretty face was pale, and her delicate body trembled slightly, almost ashamed and angry.
The girl who knew about it had already whispered to the girl beside her that more than a month ago, the young master of Nangong Mansion and Liu Tanhua's younger sister had just had a wedding.
As soon as the other girls heard this, they immediately understood that this famous family does not pay much attention to changing marriages. Since the young master of Nangong Mansion married Liu Tanhua's younger sister, it is absolutely impossible for Nangong Cheng and Liu Tanhua!
Thinking about it this way, the girls finally understood that Princess Mingyue's words were "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, aimed at Peigong"! Princess Mingyue knew the truth, but she still said that in front of everyone, and she was humiliating Nangong Cheng.
Nangong Yue frowned, and was about to speak, when Bai Muxiao said with a slight smile: "I have a cousin named Gu Yue," and then looked at Jiang Yixi, "Miss Jiang, I remember you have a cousin Brother’s name is Zhongdong, right? Come to think of it, Jiayue, Guyue, and Zhongdong, it’s rare for the three of them to be so predestined, and they should be married to Jinlan.”
When the girls heard the words, they immediately looked at Bai Muxiao, full of interest.
The "Guyue", "Jiayue" and "Zhongdong" all have the same meaning, representing November. Princess Mingyue used "a heart-to-heart connection" to talk about things, but the white girl responded with "a predestined relationship", provocative beyond words.
Qu Jiayue stared fiercely at Bai Muxiao, thinking: Why do cats and dogs dare to provoke her
But Bai Muxiao remained as unmoved as a mountain, and said to Qu Jiayue without avoiding or dodging: "Princess, what do you think?"
Qu Jiayue didn't respond, and could only say bluntly: "If you have the opportunity, you really need to get to know each other." After saying that, she threw up her sleeves and left, gnashing her teeth with hatred in her heart: Good for you, Nangong Cheng! First, your brother went to Pingyang Marquis Mansion personally You have humiliated me, now you instigate your cousin to humiliate me in public, if Qu Jiayue doesn't report this hatred to me, she will never give up!
Nangong Cheng looked at Bai Muxiao gratefully and said nothing, but he had already remembered Bai Muxiao's help in his heart. Bai Muxiao smiled back, a faint smile was always on the corner of her mouth.
But Nangong Yue fell into deep thought. At this time in her previous life, she was already at her grandfather's house. When she returned to Nangong's house, Bai Muxiao had already returned with her mother for several years. She didn't pay too much attention to the change in Xiao's personality. However, looking back now, no matter in the previous life or the present life, the later Bai Muxiao is actually very different from when he was a child... Is it because of amnesia
At this time, a breeze blew by suddenly, and the yellow peony swayed with the wind. Under the bright sun, it seemed to have a golden light, and it looked golden, as if it was not a mortal thing.
"Huh?"
Nangong Cheng suddenly squinted her eyes and looked at the yellow peony. Why did she feel that there was a peony flower that stood out from the crowd, as if it was really shining.
Nangong Cheng took a closer look and found that the peony flower was indeed more dazzling than other peony flowers of the same plant. She was amazed and looked at it carefully...
Yuan Yuyi on the side noticed Nangong Cheng's actions, covered her mouth and smiled, and whispered to the maid beside her: "Go and take down that peony flower and give it to Miss Nangong."
"Yes, County Lord!" The servant girl responded, stepped forward quickly, took off the peony flower, and respectfully sent it to Nangong Cheng, "Miss Nangong, please keep this peony well!"
As soon as Nangong Cheng picked it up, he realized something was wrong, and when he looked at it again, he couldn't help laughing: "What a delicate workmanship!" It turned out that this was actually a silk peony flower, not a real peony!
Yuan Yuyi smiled and said nothing, with a hint of pride in her eyes.
Jiang Yixi walked up to Nangong Cheng, looked at the peony and silk flower in her hand with a look of surprise, "It's really a good craftsmanship, it's so similar, it's hard to see the difference between them!" Speaking of this, she suddenly looked at Yuan Yuyi as if she wanted to understand something, pointed to the peony silk flower in her hand, and said, "Liu Shuang, could it be that the game Her Royal Highness said is to find out the peonies in the peony bushes?" peony and silk flowers?"
Yuan Yuyi nodded slightly: "That's right, exactly."
Nangong Lin said enviously: "Big sister is really lucky, she is really a blessed person, she didn't have to be busy, and she finished the game so quickly."
The other girls also suddenly realized, and looked at Nangong Cheng with both admiration and envy.
Nangong Cheng once again became the center of the crowd, and her pink cheeks were like clouds, like a delicate and beautiful peony flower, she looked more and more charming.
Yuan Yuyi smiled and added: "There is only one silk flower for each kind of peony in this peony garden. I hope that every girl who is here today can find a peony silk flower. After half an hour, we will go to Shenshui Pavilion."
When the girls heard that time was running out, they all dispersed and walked to peonies of different colors.
Most of these girls are still concerned about their image, and just order the servant girl to examine the past carefully with them, but there are also some impatient girls who want to touch the peony with their hands.
Seeing this, a maidservant in pink immediately said: "Girl, please forgive the impoliteness of the servant girl. Her Royal Highness the eldest princess said that you should not touch the peony flower with your hands. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a violation of the rules of the game. Please be merciful, girl."
The girl had no choice but to retract her hand embarrassingly.
Nangong Yue walked in the garden unhurriedly. She didn't have the mood to win this game, so she was very casual, but Que'er was more impatient than her, and searched around in a hurry.
Nangong Yue didn't stop her, it was rare that she could come out to play, and it was enough to go home having fun.
Que'er and Baihui searched east and west together, and finally found a light red peony silk flower.
"That one! It's that one!" Que'er whispered in surprise, her little face was so excited that it was covered with beautiful clouds.
A maid in pink immediately plucked the silk flower for them, handed it to Nangong Yue, and congratulated her: "Congratulations, Princess, you found a 'silver-red flower'."
Nangong Yue took the "silver and red delicate pair", and Baihui immediately rewarded the maid with a silver peony flower.
"Thank you Princess!" The servant girl smiled and took it respectfully.
Now that she found the peony and silk flowers, Nangong Yue went to meet with Nangong Cheng, Jiang Yixi and others, so no one noticed that the maid just turned around and took off the white gauze and went to the male guest's side, with her ear to the other white dress. The maid said something.
The maid in the moon white dress nodded, and quickly went to the peony bush on the male guest's side to take a "silver and red clever pair", then quietly went to Yuan Lingbai, and gave him the silk flower.
Yuan Lingbai held the "Silver Red Coincidentally Paired", and was very moved: "My mother is so kind to me, I don't need to bother looking for it myself." It really is my mother!
There was a bright smile on his face, but when he turned around, he met a face with a lazy smile, and he immediately called out respectfully, "Brother..." After a pause, he added, "Your jade pendant today The webbing is still pretty good!"
Yuan Lingbai felt that he was very pitiful. As a younger brother, he had to be at his service all the time. Not to mention, this elder brother didn’t know what he was thinking recently. He showed off his new network in front of them all day long, insisting that they use different ones every day. Let me praise it with words! To be honest, the five-bat net is really good. At least a dozen kinds of black threads of different shades are used, mixed with silver threads, and they are tightly woven. The jade pendant she wears is a perfect match, but I can't resist thinking of different words to praise every day!
In order to think about vocabulary, Yuan Lingbai spent so long in the study for the first time in his life, which moved his mother very much.
But after boasting for more than a month, he is still at a loss for words, just such a sentence "it looks good", the eldest brother must be dissatisfied, and he wanted to cry without tears.
It was the first time that Yuan Lingbai realized that he was quick-witted, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly said, "Brother, there is an interesting event at the Fang Banquet today!" Explained the game of finding peony and silk flowers, and added a sentence at the end: "Later, the girl and son who find the same peony and silk flowers will cooperate to perform a talent..."
Sure enough, Xiao Yi didn't care about his hasty boasting, and immediately snapped his fingers.
The next moment, a hidden guard appeared in front of Xiao Yi, and asked respectfully, "My lord, what are your orders?"
"Go and find out what peony and silk flowers Princess Yaoguang got?" Xiao Yi ordered.
"Yes." The dark guard took the order and left.
Xiao Yi is in a good mood, the rules of this game are simply fantastic, as long as he finds the same peony and silk flower as the stinky girl, he can be with the stinky girl in an open and aboveboard manner!
Yuan Lingbai suddenly had a cold war. For some reason, he always had an ominous premonition...
-off topic-
Xiao Yi: I'm finally going to meet the stinky girl!
Yuan Lingbai: I always feel that the world is full of deep malice towards me!
