Chapter Seventy-Two: The Flower Feast

On the second day, after teaching Mama Xi, Li Ying also had more confidence to go to the banquet. After all, it was also the first time she had attended a royal flower-viewing banquet.

The carriage trampled on the ground, passed through several palace gates, and got off. Under the guidance of the palace maid and eunuch, he passed through several palace gates again before he came to the queen's Jiaofang Palace. Li Ying was glad that the soles of his shoes were stuffed with several layers of brocade today.

Seeing the arrival of Jing's group, the queen showed a satisfied smile, and then Jing's followed the queen and went to the Taiye Pool where today's banquet was held.

Next to the Taiye Pool, the inner woman was already waiting, and she saw the queen's honor guard from a distance. The arrival of the queen officially opened the banquet.

The queen's mother enjoyed the flower banquet, and Mrs. Li Jiwei and other harem concubines also attended. In previous years, Li Ji would continue to be unwell and wait, but this year she went to the banquet for the first time. The women of the inner life all speculated whether it was related to the division of the kings at the beginning of the year, and Li Ji didn't care about the look of the inner woman, and behaved in a proper manner. Behind her, there was this girl, face to face.

"Whose girl is this, pretty and cute," a young woman whispered to the people next to her.

Li Ying listened, and she recognized the little girl. Tian Rui, the daughter of Liji's brother, is a little younger than herself. At first, I recognized her at the banquet, a noisy snack goods, and later I would show favor to myself and give me a small handkerchief or something. Somehow, there was no contact. In the future, we met in some scenes, just nodding friends. Meeting in the capital is also fate.

At the flower viewing banquet, there are a hundred flowers competing for beauty, and the sun is shining in spring, and the flowers are also gilded with gold edges. The queen carried the Jing family and met with the meritorious family. One has a heart, the other has an intention, and they talk happily. As long as the crown prince is not unexpected, the queen is the most noble woman in the palace. This year, even Li Ji, who is at odds with the queen every day, didn't she come over to join in the fun?

The queen chatted happily with the Jing family and the women who were in the house, and on the other side were the girls who had not left the cabinet to play together. Among them, the meritorious family, headed by Princess Liu Ying, the queen's concubine, accompanied by Li Ying. The official eunuch family, the civil officials are headed by Yang Qiong, the second daughter of the right prime minister Yang Xiong's family, and the military attache is headed by Zhou Yishan, the daughter of Zhou Fu, the general of the first grade.

Li Ying didn't want to be eye-catching, but following behind Princess Liu Ying, she was destined not to do so.

Some noblewomen couldn't hold back their curiosity, and their eyes kept on Li Ying. At this time, Zhou Yishan, who had a hearty temperament, asked Liu Ying in a low voice, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, who is this one?"

Liu Ying was delighted, she was good friends with Miss Zhou on weekdays, maybe the two of them had the same smell, and they both had a bit of a big grin, and said, "This is my cousin, Li Ying." Her father was General Annan. ”

General Annan, Sanpin, Li Kang. In the Jingshi, it can be said that everyone knows it. After the founding general Li Guang, the Marquis of Chengji, the title of Marquis of Chengji was hereditary. Li Qing is the eldest son, inheriting the title of Marquis of Chengji, and is currently a lieutenant and one of the three dukes. The Li family has always had weak descendants, and people thought that Li Kang, as the second son, would stay in Beijing, but they didn't think that Li Dang and the queen would go to the land of Nanban to be a small Wupin Anyi protector. Some people speculate that Li Kang may be the abandoned son of the Li family. Over the years, because of several major military achievements, he is now the general of Sanpin.

At the recommendation of Princess Liu Ying, Li Ying and the nobles saluted each other. This one is the concubine of the Taichang family, the other is the second daughter of the Shaofu family, and the other is the youngest daughter of the Youfufeng family...... There are so many that Li Ying doesn't remember a few faces. At today's flower-viewing banquet, the queen invited princes and generals, civil and military officials above the fourth grade, and a big banquet.

Li Ying's performance everywhere reflects her good manners and is impeccable, but she feels that her face is stiff with a smile.

Zhou Yishan looked at Li Ying and was also very happy. His father had a personal relationship with Li Kang, and his father often mentioned General Li Kang in front of his children, saying that he was a good general who was brave and good at fighting. Retrospectively, after General Zhou Fu was Wuwei Hou Zhou Bo, the two families were world friends. Now, Li Qing, the Marquis of Chengji, is a lieutenant, in charge of the military, and Zhou Fusi is a general of Yipin, leading the troops and leading the generals, and he is a grasshopper on a line.

Zhou Yishan couldn't hold back his joy, took Li Ying's hands, and said kindly: "Sister Li Ying, I've heard of your name a long time ago, and now I see the deity." "Zhou Yishan is a few months older than Liu Ying, Li Ying is Liu Ying's cousin, so Zhou Yishan naturally calls Li Ying's sister.

Li Ying responded shyly: "Sister Yishan", she knew that the relationship between the Zhou family and the Li family was very close, and the two families were world friends, so she naturally wanted to be good friends with Zhou Yishan. Yishan acts generously and has a hearty temperament, although he is a little familiar, Li Ying still likes it. Someone is hospitable, and naturally rejoices.

"You're new to the capital, you haven't had a good look around the capital, you have to come to me, I'll take you around." Zhou Yishan was warmly entertained, she also liked this elegant-looking girl, maybe Li Ying grew up in the south and looked thin and small, not like a woman from a family of military generals. Suddenly, Zhou Yishan felt some pity for Li Ying. It is rumored that the Li family is not a family of good fortune, and the girl who was born in the Li family will either die early, or will not be subjected to grinding, and there will be no good end. Thinking about it carefully, there is only one Li Ying who has survived the Li family.

"Sister Yishan is right, then call Sister Wang Feng of the Hou family of Anguo, Miss Ren of the Hou of Jiancheng, and Liu Yao of the Zongzheng family, do you say it?" Liu Ying looked at Zhou Yishan and interests excitedly, if Li Ying is here, the queen will agree to let her go out of the palace to play.

Zhou Yishan was thinking about whether this would be too urgent. At today's flower-viewing banquet, everyone knows that the wife of Annan General Li Kang, and the queen's sister-in-law, Jing, are back, and they will definitely post and exchange messages one after another. She doesn't like to associate with Wang Feng of the Marquis of Anguo's family, Wang Feng is the grandniece of the Queen Mother, and she sticks to Liu Ying all day long. As soon as Zhou Yishan thought of this, he said: "Let's see it then, my mother has been talking about it lately", looking at Liu Ying's somewhat disappointed look, and comforted: "But if you give me a post, my mother will agree." ”

Only then did Liu Ying cheer up, "It's okay, there's always a chance." It's Sister Li Ying, you have to come into the palace more often to accompany me, I recently got a new Liubo chess, it's fun. ”

As long as it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun, Liu Ying will be energetic, is this the true nature of a gentleman? Li Ying said a few times, the rules in the palace are big, and if you can come less, you can come less. When it comes to chess, Li Ying likes simple and fast, backgammon. When he was in Yingdu, he often drank Li Ling's little brother to play.

Tian Rui on the other side was introduced by Princess Liu Tang, the daughter of Li Ji, to meet the nobles who were familiar with each other, and the meritorious family also had a small circle of meritorious families.
