Wu Zhengxiang looked at the elegant and calm Xu Wanzhen in the opposite "Shuyuxuan", and inadvertently appeared in his mind the elegance of standing proudly on the deck on the night of the in Yangzhou. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is the real her, cold, elegant, posthumous and independent. Obviously in the crowd, but it seems to be separated from the world by a transparent cover. It was as if she didn't belong to this world and could leave at any moment.

This feeling made Wu Zhengxiang feel unspeakably uncomfortable, and he just wanted to hold her tightly.

Shi Jingze leaned lazily against the window, and a pair of phoenix eyes were slightly raised. This Xu Wanzhen is more interesting than it seems. "Seven steps into a poem", how did she do it? At this time, he had a trace of real interest.

Seeing his expression, a smile appeared on the prince's face, and he drank the wine in one gulp.

Fan Bin was originally a military general in the Northwest Land, where can he understand whether the poems are good or not, but he sees the reaction of the people. Puzzled, he asked, "Lord Wang, these two poems are masterpieces?"

King Qi showed a look of admiration, opened the folding fan and said: "This is a superb masterpiece, especially the latter one." ”

In "Shuyuxuan", Tang Yuanyao first squeezed Xu Wanzhen, and then Princess Zhaoyang pressed step by step, and King Qi saw the whole process clearly. I silently recited the poem again in my heart, and I couldn't help laughing.

"The peony demon in front of the court is unqualified" obviously refers to Tang Yuanyao, "Chishang Fuhui is pure and affectionate", I'm afraid it is an allusion to Princess Zhaoyang, right? This sentence is very wonderful, the imperial sister's temperament is indeed ruthless. But this Xu Wanzhen is really bold, isn't she afraid that the princess will be angry with her?

Is Xu Wan really afraid?

She has neither power nor power, how can she not be afraid?

Even though the Xu family sold a lot of silver, it was a source of water. What's more, in the capital, there are more rich families, what does the Xu family calculate? What's more, in the eyes of the nobles in this city, what is the value of having silver? Even if he will be afraid of Tu Shanchang's popularity, it is not much more difficult for the Zhaoyang Duke to pinch her to death than it is to pinch a little ant to death.

But she can see that the situation in front of her makes Princess Zhaoyang's desire to recruit talents urgent. She looked at it coldly, this princess is practicing the art of the emperor, and her personal love and hatred are not important to her, how can she deal with her because of a sarcastic poem?

The ancients "bought horse bones with a thousand gold", and this Zhaoyang princess is also quite effective in imitation. If she is not mistaken, she will only be better for her in the future, so that everyone can look at her, even the people who have offended Princess Zhaoyang are so valued, won't everyone rush to take refuge?

Sure enough, Princess Zhaoyang smiled heartily: "Quick, quick! Yuegui wrote down these two poems and took them to the other side for evaluation." ”

Xu Wanzhen smiled faintly in her seat, what she expected was not bad. But he didn't see it, Wang Miaoyan lowered his eyes to hide the deep jealousy in his eyes.

After that, Tang Yuanyao stepped forward to paint, but it was just an ordinary work and did not cause any waves.

Princess Zhaoyang looked around, saw that no one stepped forward, and said loudly: "I am fortunate to have many masterpieces today, and I should congratulate the emperor on his birthday." With a light pat on his hands, hollyhock came up with a maid and served exquisite dishes one after another.

In "Shuyuxuan", it is according to the ancient rites of one person and a few, and this dish is also on each person's case, and the meal system is adopted.

The dishes are delicate and delicious, but not extravagant and wasteful, and the ingredients are more or less made of peony flowers, which is refreshing and pleasant to look at, and it is a veritable peony feast.

First of all, there were cold dishes "Butterfly Love Flower" and "Colored Silk Golden Flower", followed by hot dishes "Peony Duck Breast", "Golden Flower Bamboo Shoots", "Peony Beef Silk Soup", and finally a "Sugar Steamed Cheese" and "Peony Bird's Nest Porridge" that Xu Wanzhen tasted that day.

There are seven dishes in total, but each dish is not much, just enough for one person. Each has its own characteristics and is endlessly evocative.

After lunch, the maid served peony tea in a glass cup and presented it to the women to rinse their mouths and clean their hands.

Princess Zhaoyang said with a smile: "As soon as I come today, I will detain everyone here and not be free, and I ask all princesses, ladies, and young ladies to forgive me." ”

The crown princess shook the silk fan in her hand lightly, and said with a chuckle: "Being able to serve the princess and dedicate poems and paintings to the emperor is the most important thing." What is the princess's sin? ”

The women chimed in.

Duchess Li said: "It's noon now, my old wife can't compare to you young people, so I want to go crooked." ”

Princess Zhaoyang hurriedly said: "My grandmother is tired, and Bai Shao takes the old lady to rest." He smiled at the ladies and said, "If you want to rest, if you want to go to the garden, if you want to play tea here, if you want to go to the back to watch the play, please tell the maids, you will be led by someone." ”

The corners of the women's mouths raised excited smiles, they couldn't hold back for a long time, and this was the blind date meeting they were most interested in. Those princes and nobles in the "Qingxuan Pavilion" are rare to see on weekdays, and everyone has their own goals.

After Princess Zhaoyang, Duchess Dingguo, and the Crown Princess all withdrew, the girls discussed softly. With only two teas, they discussed in twos and threes, and walked together.

Most of the older princesses and wives chose to go to the theater, and some went to the side rooms prepared in advance in the princess's mansion for a lunch break.

Tu Manfen walked up to Tu Manzhen and Xu Wanzhen and asked, "We are going to visit the garden, do you want to go together?"

Hearing this, Tu Manzhen couldn't wait to say: "I want to go, I want to go." "She doesn't know a few people here, so of course she has to follow her sister closely.

Xu Wanzhen glanced at the ladies of the Marquis of Anping Mansion and nodded. It's just been in the limelight, and it's better to follow the crowd at this time.

Wang Miaoyan, who was following Princess Chu's side, didn't know what to say to Princess Chu, but saw Princess Chu nodding, Wang Miaoyan saluted again, and walked towards Xu Wanzhen.

Xu Wanzhen stepped forward with a smile and greeted: "Wonderful words, long time no see." ”

Hearing this, Wang Miaoyan was in a trance for a while, yes, I haven't seen you for a long time. Although less than half a year has passed, too many things have happened during this period, which makes her feel that the previous days are as beautiful as in a dream.

After settling down, a perfect smile appeared on her face, and she said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and you didn't say write to me." ”

Xu Wanzhen Hao Ran, after arriving in Beijing, there were so many things, she didn't even remember this original good sister in the boudoir. apologized at the moment: "I'm really sorry, I just settled down in the capital." When did Sister Miaoyan come to the capital?"

"I just arrived last month, and now I live in the Chu Palace. Wang Miaoyan affectionately took her hand, followed the lady of the Marquis of Anping and walked out of the door, and said as she walked: "It's really good to see Wanzhen here! I don't know anyone in the capital, so I will have to come and go often in the future." ”

Xu Wan is really not used to her enthusiasm. In her heart, she was not familiar with Wang Miaoyan to the point of holding hands. But she remembered the memories of her predecessor, when she was in Suzhou, she was a very familiar sister with Wang Miaoyan, and it was not easy to refuse at the moment.
