Dashuang continued to greet people, Hua Lianyue couldn't interject, and she didn't want to stand next to her to laugh, so she slowly paced to the side with Liu Hui.

She looked at the idle guests in the courtyard, gathered in twos and threes, and said puzzledly: "Why don't you see Liu Shou?" He is the fifth prince, and the eldest princess should not leave him when she entertains guests. ”

"Ah Shou has been here a long time ago, probably hanging out in Qingyin Pavilion. Liu Ling didn't know when she left those flower messengers behind and came behind Liu Hui and Hua Lianyue. She has a bright smile, and her wonderful eyes imply the spring breeze, which makes people feel like bathing in the warm sun, and only feels comfortable.

"It's just right, I went to Qingyin Pavilion to talk to Ah Shou, so I won't delay the imperial sister to entertain guests here. Liu Hui said casually, pulling Hua Lianyue and going in the direction of Qingyin Pavilion.

Liu Ling smiled and didn't stop it, but when he saw Feng Qi following behind Liu Hui, he also wanted to leave. There was a palpable look of disappointment in her eyes. Her eyes flowed, and she suddenly screamed softly, as if her feet slipped, and her soft body fell to Feng Qi.

Feng Qi was agile, and when he saw that the mature and delicate body was about to fall into his arms, he immediately jumped to the side very quickly, and saw that Liu Ling couldn't hold his feet and threw himself to the ground in embarrassment.

Liu Ling originally wanted to use the excuse of trying and trying to get rid of Feng Qi. I didn't expect him to be so hard-hearted, and he would rather see himself fall than reach out to help him, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart.

She was half-lying on the ground, raising her head angrily, and her fiery eyes happened to collide with Feng Qi's playful and arrogant eyes. For some reason, her heart suddenly trembled slightly, as if an ant was gently biting, making her itchy, numb and crispy. Liu Ling bit her lower lip, her anger disappeared, and the mist in her beautiful eyes became a little thicker.

Feng Qi didn't want to contaminate Liu Ling, but there were many handsome men next to him, waiting for Liu Ling to give a little warmth. They saw Liu Ling fall down in embarrassment, and they swarmed around:

"Eldest princess, eldest princess, where can you fall?"

"Quick, go and call the Imperial Doctor. ”

"Who are you? Fang Cai obviously only needs to stretch out his hand, you can hold the eldest princess, why do you want to dodge? Do you know that disrespecting the eldest princess is disrespecting the royal family, and if the emperor blames it, I am afraid that you will not be able to afford it. Why don't you kneel down quickly and kowtow to the eldest princess to make amends!"

The man who spoke was about twenty-six or seventeen years old, and he was handsome and handsome, and his facial features were a little more delicate than Feng Qi. It's just that his back is not straight enough, his lips are too thin, the whites of his eyes are too much, and his eyes are turning vigorously, and he seems to be calculating all the time.

The man seems to regard himself as the messenger of the flowers, he dances with his hands, his expression is excited, and his spit is flying, and he has the posture of being strong for the eldest princess.

Feng Qi was not in a hurry or annoyed, glanced at the man with an excited expression, and said slowly: "Don't you know that the eldest princess's status is extremely noble, and she is actually a fairy of the Nine Heavens, and we ordinary people are not worthy of touching it at all?"

The man was dumbfounded, clicked his mouth, and found that his next accusation seemed to be blocked. obviously wanted to show his face in front of the eldest princess, but he didn't expect the other party to be such a scoundrel. The two fluttering sentences not only complimented the eldest princess, but also cleared up the sins.

The capital is indeed the land of the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger!

Liu Ling had already been helped to stand up, and she also heard the two words Feng Qi said, even though she knew that he was just talking nonsense, she just felt sweet in her heart.

"Wu Yuanzhou, don't be rude to the princess's distinguished guests!" Liu Ling scolded the man unceremoniously. She had already stood up with the help of the maid. The pair of beautiful eyes staring at Feng Qi were full of resentment, like rippling autumn waves, with affection.

As long as the eyes around are not blind, they can see Liu Ling's strange expression, as well as the difference in treating Feng Qi.

Hua Lianyue wanted to laugh, if it weren't for Liu Hui clenching her fingertips with a warning, she would definitely laugh out loud.

Liu Ling's method of seducing men is too naïve and clumsy, but with her beauty and her power, men generally will not refuse her seduction. It's a pity that today she made a mistake and planted a big heel on Feng Qi, who was incomprehensible.

While she was thinking wildly, Hua Lianyue suddenly heard a maid exclaim in a low voice: "Eldest princess, your dress is dirty." ”

In fact, there is no need for the maid to say, everyone also saw Liu Ling's colorful red dress, which was stained with large stains, and the location was ...... Indescribable.

Liu Ling lowered her eyes and turned her head to look at the dirty place, a look of shame appeared on her face, so she said angrily: "Who is in charge of cleaning this courtyard today, so lazy and tired, let her go to the steward to get fifty boards by herself." ”

The maid who was holding her didn't seem surprised, she only humbled her knees and replied in a low voice: "Yes!"

Not far away, a maid standing at the bottom of the rockery suddenly knelt down, her face was full of panic, and she kowtowed again and again: "The princess spares her life, the princess spares her life......"

The voices around him all stopped abruptly, as if swept by a cold wind, and the silent air became more and more cold and piercing, and many eyes of pity fell on the unfortunate maid.

Hua Lianyue was also shocked, fifty boards can be tortured to kill people. Obviously, it was Liu Ling who pretended to fall down and failed to seduce Feng Qi. In order to maintain the face that does not exist, he took an innocent maid to atone for his sin. This Liu Ling is worthy of being a fellow mother with the prince, and it is really the same ruthless and cruel.

However, the man named Wu Yuanzhou snorted coldly and said: "You dare to beg for mercy, you can't even sweep the ground, and the princess slips, so it's not an exaggeration to say that there are 100 boards." ”

When the maid who had been kowtowing heard this, her body was weak, and her tear-stained face showed despair. Some of the guards had already stepped forward to hold her arms and shoved a veil into her mouth. lest her crying and begging for mercy disturb the guests in the courtyard.

At this time, a voice like a heavenly voice sounded outside the crowd: "Eldest princess, today's flower viewing banquet is a happy thing, why make it bloody, let everyone's hearts be unhappy." ”

Wearing a honey-colored red fox fur brocade jacket and combing his sister-in-law's bun, the county lord of Huining walked in from outside the crowd. With a decent smile on her face, she didn't look at others, but only said to Liu Ling: "In my opinion, it is better to punish her for a year, which can be regarded as the dress of accompanying the eldest princess." In this way, she has learned a lesson, and she will not dare to make such a mistake next time. ”

Liu Ling's eyes flashed, and with deep meaning, he swept over Liu Hui's calm and waveless face, and then chuckled: "Since the county lord of Huining personally pleaded, this princess will temporarily write down these fifty boards." However, even if she was fined for a year, she couldn't buy me a piece of my sleeve. ”

The originally desperate maid seemed to have a new life when she heard this, she was gagged and couldn't speak, but after the guards loosened their control, they kowtowed to the county lord of Huining gratefully.

The county lord of Huining smiled at the maid, stepped forward to hold Liu Ling's arm intimately, and laughed and teased: "I know that you are looking at my face, I will accept your affection! ”

Liu Ling let out a long sigh, patted the back of her hand, and said, "You are a kind-hearted person, but unfortunately your fate is not good...... she did not continue. It's just that she looks like that, anyone can see that she is feeling sorry for the county lord of Huining.

Liu Ling stared deeply at Liu Hui again before leaving surrounded by the county lord of Huining and his maids.

The ignorant Hua Lianyue took the opportunity to ask: "Who is this Huining County Lord?" Why is she so close to Liu Ling? Why does Liu Ling talk to her, but her eyes always turn ambiguously on Liu Hui?

Liu Hui shook his head and said, "The county lord of Huining is the ...... of the Xie family" After only half a sentence, he closed his mouth. Later, I can only rely on Hua Lianyue to make up for it by myself. It's a pity that she wants to break her head, and she doesn't know that Liu Hui was angry with the emperor because he refused to marry the county lord of Huining, and he was demoted to Meiling County as a small magistrate for three years.

That Wu Yuanzhou originally wanted to keep up with the eldest princess Liu Ling, but was unceremoniously dismissed by the guards. He was a thick-skinned person, and he overheard Liu Hui mention that the county lord of Huining was the Xie family, and his eyes full of calculation suddenly lit up. It's just that Liu Hui has a cold momentum that no one can enter, and he subconsciously didn't dare to approach, so he paced to the side and privately inquired about the details of the county lord of Huining.

Dashuang stood behind Hua Lianyue for a long time, and at this moment, seeing that the eldest princess had gone away, the guests who were originally standing in the courtyard couldn't stand the cold wind, and went away in twos and threes, so they smiled and said: "Lord, the master's family is gone, let's not get frozen here, let's go to Qingfeng Pavilion to listen to the play!"

Liu Hui naturally would not refuse, and the four of them quickly left the garden, followed the sparse crowd, and leisurely walked in the direction of Qingfeng Pavilion. Along the way, you can see the tall buildings hidden in the thick green everywhere, all of them are vermilion walls and tiles, cornices and corners, magnolia winding, golden animal faces, and colorful citrus heads...... The wealth and luxury of the eldest princess of Zhaohua are everywhere.

Hua Lianyue couldn't help smacking her tongue, and secretly said Compared with the Zhaohua Eldest Princess Mansion, Liu Hui's Xianwang Mansion was much shabby.

Soon I saw the Qingyin Pavilion surrounded by a winding canal, in which sparkling water was murmuring, and weeping willows were planted on both sides, and peach and apricot plum trees flowed down the water. It is conceivable that in early spring, this quiet canal must be full of red marks and willow waves.

Hua Lianyue traveled all the way, and the eye-catching luxury not only amazed her, but also amazed!

Only then did they step onto the small stone arch bridge, and everyone could already hear the sound of silk and bamboo coming from the pavilion. Stepping into the Qingyin Pavilion, a warm fragrance came to her face, and Hua Lianyue realized that she was still lacking in knowledge. I saw that the pavilion was full of pothos waterfalls, purple and red. Many delicate flowers that are not tolerant of the cold are in full swing at the moment.

In particular, there is a huge pot of camellia in the center, and countless flowers bloom densely in the thick and lush branches. It's not that it's peculiar, but the most peculiar thing is that they come in different colors, whether it's red, or white, or purple, or yellow, or pink, or ......

In short, as long as it is the color that Hua Liyue can think of, it is all gathered on this tall tea tree. No wonder the eldest princess dared to hold a flower-viewing banquet in the middle of winter, and this rare camellia really attracted countless ladies in gorgeous clothes, who gathered around and marveled.

Hua Lianyue knows that as long as the climate suitable for the growth of flowers and plants can be maintained, it is not difficult to raise this house. The difficulty is how to make this tea tree bloom so colorful, complex and gorgeous flowers, presumably today's rare grand occasion is the effort of countless florists.

Hua Lianyue had to admire, in terms of enjoyment, this eldest princess of Zhaohua was really second to none. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but want to get closer and admire it.

The ladies noticed that someone was approaching and looked back. At first glance, many people's eyes have more meaningless meanings. Although Liu Hui is not as famous as the crown prince, as the first prince to be crowned king, he has repeatedly made great contributions to the imperial court.

is such a high-powered figure, but the backyard is extremely clean, and he doesn't know how many famous and noble girls who want to enter his backyard have been rejected. I heard that I recently married a woman from a humble background outside as a formal gift to marry a concubine.

What's even more incredible is that after he finally returned to Beijing, the current emperor was strangely silent about this matter, which obviously meant tacit consent.

These ladies naturally want to know what kind of beautiful woman can bring this unruly prince under the pomegranate skirt and let the emperor accept it happily.

I have to say that when they saw the mysterious Lady Xianwang herself, many people were disappointed. It's not that Hua Lianyue is not beautiful, it's just that she is really not qualified to make people shine.

Because in the eyes of these noble ladies, her figure is too thin, her complexion is too pale, her lips are not bright enough, and her eyes are not delicate enough. Although the gestures are generous and decent, Gu Pan has a sense of freedom and ease, without the reserve and subtlety of a famous lady.

Hua Lianyue didn't seem to notice the strange eyes around her, she pulled Liu Hui to the camellia with great interest, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there are such treasures of camellia in the capital, but it's worth the trip!"

Liu Hui saw that she was happy, and a smile naturally appeared on his face, he nodded along with her words, and said, "This camellia is indeed rare." ”

Hua Lianyue grinned and said, "Idiot, do you want to know its alias?"

"Oh! I want to hear it!" Liu Hui looked back at Hua Lianyue with a light smile.

Hua Lianyue leaned down and sniffed it, before patiently explaining, "Because it has eight colors, and the flowers that bloom are only the size of a teacup, they are exquisite and lovely, so it is called eight-sided exquisite, and it is already a rare treasure." ”

A noble lady wearing a royal blue makeup satin brocade jacket next to her couldn't help but interject when she heard this: "Madame thinks that this camellia is only a rare treasure, could it be that she has seen a more precious variety than this?"

Dashuang glanced at the woman, smiled at Hua Lianyue and introduced, "This is the young lady of Lin Shilang's family. ”

Mrs. Lin also seemed to feel that she was a little reckless to interject rashly, so she explained with a smile: "Because I usually love to serve these flowers and plants, listening to the meaning of Madame's words, it seems that I have seen more precious flowers, so I can't help but ask." ”

"It turned out to be Young Lady Lin!" Hua Lianyue smiled before she said: "One grade higher than these eight-sided exquisite is the Seven Fairies, that is, there are seven different colors of flowers blooming on a tree at the same time. ”

Young Madam Lin frowned, and said puzzledly: "These seven fairies are obviously one color less exquisite than the eight-sided exquisite, why are they one grade higher?"

Hua Lianyue said: "Because these eight exquisite colors do not specifically refer to any of the eight colors, as long as they are together." But although these seven fairies are missing one color, the flower path is a whole circle larger than these eight-sided exquisite, and it is the size of a bowl. And it must be the redst, because it's the big fairy. And the green one is the smallest, because that's the youngest sister. Only when all the conditions are met can they be worthy of the name of the Seven Fairies!"

"And green camellias, this is the first time I've heard of them!" said Young Lady Lin's face with obvious disbelief.

Dashuang said with a smile on the side: "Although green camellia is rare, it is not nothing. Coincidentally, I got two pots a few years ago, called green bead balls. If Mrs. Lin likes it, I will let the little maid move a pot to your house when I go back. ”

When Mrs. Lin Shao heard this, she immediately smiled, and hurriedly pulled Dashuang and said, "Since Mrs. Liu is gracious, I will accept it with a cheeky smile." Then she sighed again and said, "I really want to see with my own eyes how wonderful those seven fairies are!"

Hua Lianyue said with a smile: "In fact, in addition to the seven fairies, there are also famous products such as mandarin duck phoenix crowns, jade belt purple robes, sprinkling gold pearls, fragrant mountain young phoenixes, rouge and snow." Although there are not so many colors, when they bloom, the petals are complex and full, and the floral fragrance is sweet and fragrant, which is also worth seeing!"

"Such a magical Seven Fairies, this princess also wants to see it!" Liu Ling's obviously gloomy voice sounded around everyone. I was stunned and turned around, but I saw Liu Ling, who was dressed in a bright yellow auspicious cloud peacock pattern beaded brocade dress, and I didn't know when she came behind everyone.
