Chapter 496: A Feast of Flowers

The next day is the day when the feast of flowers begins, according to the convention, most of the feasts of flowers are poems against each other, testing women's talent and self-cultivation of festivals, so most of the people who participate in the feast of flowers are women.

In order to prepare for tomorrow's Hundred Flowers Feast, Song Shuyan has spent a lot of effort in the past few days, not only personally participating in the decoration site of the Hundred Flowers Feast, but also putting a lot of thought into the decoration design of the invitation.

Looking at the invitation to the Hundred Flowers Feast designed by himself, Song Shuyan still had some indescribable pride in his heart.

"You prepare an invitation, the daughters and wives of the courtiers and officials must send the invitations," Song Shuyan thought while instructing the palace maids around him, and then continued, "Several famous talented women in the capital will also send posts." ”

It's just that although the Hundred Flowers Feast is a women's festival, it is not fun to only have women present, so Song Shuyan instructed again: "Don't forget to send invitations to talented talents in the court." ”

After everything was ordered, Song Shuyan began to look forward to tomorrow's Hundred Flowers Feast, although he was already the queen, but when he mentioned the Hundred Flowers Feast, he still felt a little excited and longing in his heart.

"Dare to ask the queen mother, our festival, do you want to call Princess Qingle too. The maid next to her asked a lot of questions while writing a post.

Song Shuyan lowered his head and thought about it, and felt that since Princess Qinggele married into her own country, it was certain to follow the customs of the country, so Song Shuyan replied: "Of course, I also want to invite her to participate in the feast of flowers, so that Princess Qingge can feel our festival." ”

After the maid finished writing the post, Song Shuyan directly sent someone to send the invitation out.

On the second day, the Hundred Flowers Feast was set on Qiushui Mountain, which was not far from the Imperial Palace.

The site is not only covered with flowers, but also placed a lot of artificial rockeries, with a bamboo tube to introduce a mountain spring water, jingling on the rockery, and then with the surrounding purple and red flowers, it is really a prosperous beauty.

Princess Qingge and Shen Zecang really went together and came to the scene of the feast of flowers, Song Shuyan saw the figure of Princess Qinggele, but did not see Song Wanyan.

As soon as Song Wanyan was mentioned, Song Shuyan's heart felt uncomfortable for a while, she hadn't forgotten how Song Wanyan treated herself before.

In line with the heart of caring about foreign princesses at all times as the mother of a country, Song Shuyan decided to go up to say hello to Princess Qinggele, and ask Song Wanyan about her situation by the way.

Thinking like this, Song Shuyan walked to Princess Qinggrad with a dignified demeanor, although Princess Qinggele excluded Song Wanyan everywhere, but she didn't dare to make a mistake for Song Shuyan, the queen.

After saluting Song Shuyan, Princess Qingge first opened her mouth to greet Song Shuyan's situation, and after Song Shuyan answered simply, she directly mentioned Song Wanyan.

"Today's Hundred Flowers Feast, why don't you see Song Wanyan's figure, is it because she dislikes the Hundred Flowers Feast arranged by my sister is not to her liking?"

Although Princess Qinggele hated Song Wanyan, in the face of the queen's inquiry, she still had to help Song Wanyan speak: "Naturally I don't dare, it's just that Miss Song is pregnant, and she is always restless these days, so she took the initiative to ask to go to the temple to clean up for a few days." ”

Princess Qinggele faced Song Shuyan's inquiry about Song Wanyan, and replied truthfully: "That's why today's Hundred Flowers Feast did not come, and I ask the queen to forgive me." ”

Hearing that Song Wanyan took the initiative to ask to go to the temple to clean up for two days, Song Shuyan didn't ask too much, after all, Song Wanyan was pregnant, and he knew about it.

"In that case, then I won't ask more," Song Shuyan said to Princess Qinggele with a smile, and then added, as if remembering something, "But the princess has been married for a few days." ”

Princess Qinggele was confused, and she didn't know why Song Shuyan suddenly mentioned this, so she had to nod and wait for Song Shuyan to continue.

"It's nothing, it's just that Song Wanyan is pregnant, which is also a happy event, and Princess Qinggele must also work hard as soon as possible to spread out more for Shen Zecang. ”

After Song Shuyan finished speaking, he covered his mouth and chuckled lightly, the blessing of this sentence was sincere, after all, Shen Zecang had his own children, and he might have less thought about how to trip Shen Zeyuan.

Song Shuyan's words also followed Princess Qinggele's wishes, so Princess Qinggele also responded with a smile on her face.

The feast of flowers soon began, just like Song Wanyan targeted Song Shuyan everywhere before, Lin Xiao also targeted Ouyang Xue everywhere. No matter what Ouyang Xue says, she is also the daughter of Zuo Xiang, and her poetry and songs are naturally fine.

It's just that compared to Lin Xiao, who has a pungent temperament, Ouyang Xue doesn't know how to fight back to protect herself, and when she encounters Lin Xiao's tricks against herself, most of them choose to forbear.

Seeing that Lin Xiao always wanted to squeeze out Ouyang Xue intentionally or unintentionally, Song Shuyan naturally couldn't help it, so he took the initiative to find Ouyang Xue.

As soon as he walked to Ouyang Xue's side, he saw Lin Xiao talking very quickly, Ouyang Xue looked impatient and patient, and was dragged by Lin Xiao several times when she wanted to walk away.

Song Shuyan suddenly crossed between the two, wanting to help Ouyang Xue save the scene, no matter how ruthless and willful Lin Xiao was, seeing that the queen mother still had to accept it obediently.

Song Shuyan didn't want to ruin today's good mood because of Lin Xiao, so he didn't even look at her, directly ignored Lin Xiao's salute, turned to Ouyang Xue and said, "Today, the palace wants to be with my sister, and the other idle people have no opinion." ”

After speaking, he took Ouyang Xue away directly, leaving Lin Xiao alone to stomp his feet and get angry, Ouyang Xue whispered to Song Shuyan to thank him, and Song Shuyan waved his hand to signal a trivial matter.

After that, Lin Xiao always wanted to find an opportunity to pick Ouyang Xue's thorns, but Song Shuyan avoided them intentionally or unintentionally.

And this year's Hundred Flowers Feast, although the scene is much more beautiful than before, the process is still the same, it is nothing more than going on stage to chant poems and compare whose talent is higher.

The ladies who walked up to the rich and noble families one after another on the stage were all in chapters, not only with good literary style, but also with excellent appearance.

There are even a few young ladies who secretly compare their efforts, and the poems they make are more meaningful than the other.

Looking at the energetic girls in the audience, Song Shuyan couldn't help but sigh: "It's so good, the previous feast of flowers seemed to be just yesterday, but now in a blink of an eye, I have become a person sitting on the stage watching." ”

The young and lively ladies in the audience made Song Shuyan seem to see himself back then.
