Chapter 294: Talent
Miss Qin was a little shy, biting her lip, and her face turned a little red. She exclaimed, "Don't you want to enter the palace? I heard that our emperor is extremely handsome, and he is also a good martial artist, and he has the most kind temperament. My father said that the emperor has a good temperament and treats people very kindly, such a good husband, don't you believe you don't want it?"
Guo Wenying's eyes widened, he had a kind temperament? What kind of blind does this have to be, so that he can feel that Feng Jingting has a kind temperament?
He had just established the dynasty, and the throne had not yet been secured, had he begun to play the same game of the Northwest Military Camp again? On the surface, he was the same behind his back, bluffing people into playing? If anyone really admits the truth and thinks that he is a kind and good person, then wait to be cleaned up, and he will not know how he will die when he turns around.
I really want to remind these flower girls not to have any illusions about the emperor, but unfortunately, her current identity can only be seen on the side. People will take her words seriously.
As she was talking, she suddenly heard a melodious piano sound, and Miss Qin clasped her hands and smiled, "It's okay now, it's started, let's go over and have a look." ”
Several people were overjoyed, although they did not dare to run while maintaining the posture of a noble girl, their steps were obviously much faster.
Guo Wenying followed them and walked forward, there were already many people sitting under the high platform, and the highest judge of the flower party sat on the first row of high platforms, and there were curtains between the pavilions, and behind the curtains sat many nobles. The male guests set up a lot of spectators in the western place, surrounded by gauze and satin, and although it was impossible to tell who they were, it was evident that there were quite a few of them.
Guo Wanyun introduced her in a low voice: "The judges in the front row are the eldest princess from the left, the second on the left is the eldest princess, and the princess of the Jianjun Palace, the old lady of the Chengen Mansion, and the duchess of the Xiangguo Mansion. They are all very prestigious elders in Beijing. ”
The eldest princess is also Chu Tang's mother, and the old lady is in her sixties this year, full of flowers, and she looks very energetic. The eyebrows are exquisite, and the prosperous appearance of youth can be vaguely seen between the eyebrows. The eldest princess of Changping looked around forty, wearing a light purple dress, and her posture was elegant and graceful, not at all like an elderly woman, which showed that she was usually well maintained. King Jian Jun is the cousin of the emperor today, but this princess looks a little ordinary, maybe she is a little middle-aged, looking chubby, she smiled and showed two deep pits on her face. The wives of Duke Cheng Engong and Duke Xiangguo are not young, especially Duchess Cheng En, who looks older than the eldest princess.
Today, this flower club deliberately chose such a person to judge, and I don't know what purpose?
Guo Wenying looked behind him, and behind him were some male elders from top wealthy families, as well as the upstarts who have been the most popular in the court recently. In the first place, Feng Jingqing, who was newly crowned Prince Xi, and the second was Lu Huaidong, the most favored upstart in front of the emperor, next to him was Chu Tang, the two sat together, Lu Huaidong touched him with his elbow from time to time, and teased him with a smile. Chu Tang ignored him with a straight face.
The three judges are very familiar at once, Guo Wenying really has a headache, especially Lu Huaidong, he didn't see her when he talked to Chu Tang at this time, if he saw it clearly for a while, I don't know if he would scream?
If she rushes over to hug her like she used to do in the army, her reputation will probably be gone. I knew that I would meet him, she would never come, and I don't know what kind of fun he is a widower running here to join in?
In fact, Guo Wenying really guessed correctly, Lu Huaidong really came to see the beauty, as soon as he heard Chu Tang say that he was going to participate in a flower party, and there was a beauty performing talent, he immediately followed cheekily. He is the emperor's new favorite, and no one can refute his face, and finally made a judgment under the unanimous recommendation of everyone.
The two men in their forties below, she doesn't know, and Guo Wanyun doesn't know either, most of them are also ministers of the DPRK and China.
The two picked two seats in the back and sat down, Guo Wanyun said in a low voice: "Look, the box in the hand of that guest of honor is the number plate of all the noble ladies today, and the candidates and the order of participation in the competition will be drawn from there in a while." ”
Guo Wenying then remembered that someone did hand her a number plate when she entered the door, hers was No. 23, and Guo Wanyun's was No. 24. I wonder how lucky the two of them are today?
She laughed, "I don't know anything, I can only pray that you don't smoke me now." ”
Guo Wanyun is a little eager to try, even if she doesn't want to enter the palace, as long as she can rank in the top ten in this flower club, it will be much easier to marry in the future. This is also the reason why the flower will be held every year, and the more it is done, the more prosperous it becomes, there are many housewives and wives of the noble family who are watching below, wanting to pick a good daughter-in-law.
Guo Wenying said: "Our Southern Qi Gaomen pays attention to marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, to have both ability and political integrity, virtue first, followed by talent, talent This thing will be fine, not too top-notch, too good to do but fall inferior, but there is a suspicion of fox, those Gaomen ladies do not like." Everything is too much, and the mean is the best. ”
Guo Wanyun laughed, "I thought my sister didn't know much about women, but I didn't expect it to be so good." ”
Guo Wenying shook her head and smiled bitterly, this is not what she said, it was Feng Jingting who told her, Feng Jingting not only studied the psychology of many wealthy men, but also studied the psychology of women to some extent. also told her that if you want to be a woman who pleases your mother-in-law, you must pretend to be stupid and not be too strong.
She also asked him at the time, "Then do you think that I am not suitable for marriage? Even if I do, I must please my mother-in-law?"
Feng Jingting laughed loudly, "Ye just said that, you still take it seriously." Ye is talking about other women, like you, as long as you like it, Ye will protect you, as for whether others like it or not, it doesn't matter. ”
She rolled her eyes at the time, and said to herself, only a fool would want to marry you.
But recalling what he said at this time, there is really some truth, in a society like this, where women are too good to cause gossip, as for her, if others know what she has done, it is not as simple as gossiping.
When the two were talking, the first lottery had been drawn, and the first one to come to the stage was the daughter of Cheng Engong's Zhong family.
The Zhong family folded two princesses one after another, and King Duan ascended the throne as the emperor, but unfortunately Princess Duan died of illness, and it was pitiful that she had no mother's life in the world, as for Princess Alcohol, the two princes were imprisoned, how could a princess be good? The Zhong family wanted to turn over, so this time they put the idea on the draft, and wanted to make a name for their daughter through the flower party.
This Zhong Xin is the third daughter of the Zhong family, fifteen years old this year, she looks very standard, and her pure white dress with silver dark lines makes her look like a fairy. She played an ancient guzheng song, the technique is very proficient, and the sound of the piano is intoxicating, which shows that she has worked weekdays.
