The West Garden is the most exquisite and luxurious royal garden in the imperial city, the ancient trees in the garden are towering to the sky, and the pavilions and pavilions all over it are magnificent and beautiful, without losing the royal style.

The prince deliberately slowed down and walked side by side with Su Yan, seeing that her black and white eyes were filled with joy, he also said happily: "Senior sister likes Xiyuan, you can come to play often in the future." Today......" he frowned, slightly dissatisfied, "there are more people. ”

Su Yan really likes the West Garden, which is two completely different styles from the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. The most important thing is that the place is big enough, and there is a lake in the West Garden, plus the flowers and trees are forested, and the air is comfortably moist, which makes her feel a lot better.

"There's a polo field, there's a Keju field, and then there's Lotus Lake. Now that the lotus flower in the lake is still there, do you want to go and see it? Seeing that the corners of Su Yan's lips were lightly raised, the prince's steps were much happier, and he also rejoiced. Thinking that he was originally the pride of heaven who was held in the palm of the emperor's palm, he never needed to look at people's faces. Today, it seems that there is no teacher to understand himself, and interpreting his sweetheart is like divine help. This is about "a little bit of a good heart", the prince said with joy.

When Su Yan heard Lotus Heart Lake, she couldn't help but think of the lotus flowers on the West Lake, she tilted her head cutely and asked, "Can I take a boat?" ”

"Of course." The prince nodded hurriedly, he didn't need to be ordered, naturally someone went to prepare the painting boat. "There's a kiosk in front, where can we go and sit for a while?" It's great to be able to avoid those annoying little ladies and be with Shi Niang, the prince has already thrown what the emperor said to him today out of the clouds. The rest of the people, where is there such a lovely person as Shi Niang.

It's a pity that things can't go as expected, and the emperor held a flower banquet in order to choose a daughter-in-law for his sons. Originally, this year I mainly looked at the daughters-in-law of the fourth and fifth children, and by the way, I glanced at the sixth one, and then focused on the candidates for the crown princess, who wanted the two sons who married their wives to join in the fun. The second daughter-in-law died, and the third daughter-in-law didn't live long, so the emperor was worried about death.

The emperor sat in the water hall in the company of several close courtiers and concubines, looking at the famous ladies who showed their talents nearby, and his heart was slightly calm: the noble daughters of all families in the capital looked good. Wait, the grown-up sons are here, but where is the prince?

Jia Xi frowned when he saw the emperor, looked left and right, and hurriedly bowed over, and lowered his voice: "Sage? ”

"What about the prince?" This bastard boy, didn't he let him have more contact with the little girl, why did he run away and no one was seen.

Jia Xi, as the head of the Taiji Palace and the chief official of the Inner Servant Province, has quite a good control over the interior of the palace, and when he heard the emperor's inquiry, he smiled and said: "I just saw the prince invite the daughter-in-law of the Su Servant to go to the lake." ”

"This bastard!" When the emperor heard this, he laughed and cursed. At this time, he became curious about Su Yan, what kind of little lady is he to make his son value him so much? "Go and pass the prince and Miss Su over." You want to get close to other people's little ladies, but Lao Tzu refuses to let you not listen to Lao Tzu!

The painting boat over there has been prepared, and Li An personally went up to check it, and then came over to report the news, "Your Highness, Miss Su, the painting boat has been prepared, and Ah Luan is also waiting on the painting boat." "What kind of Ah Luan is favored by the prince, he has a big temper, and he has to be in a good mood to play, it's all. In the East Palace, if you dare not listen to His Royal Highness the Prince, isn't that looking for death!

The prince was slightly satisfied with his appearance today, and gave him a glance of approval, which made Li An smile suddenly, as if he had received a great reward.

"Senior sister, please." The prince got up and invited him, but before Su Yan could stand up, Jia Le came over there, and when he saw the prince coming over to salute politely, he said with a smile: "The saint invites His Highness to come over with Miss Su." ”

Prince:...... Daddy makes trouble for him, not happy! He reluctantly accompanied Su Yan to the Water Palace, and the whole person exuded resentment. Su Yan's eyes widened slightly, looking at the awkward prince, and suddenly he wanted to laugh.

The main field of the flower-viewing banquet is located in the water hall, on the spacious square in front of the palace, the little ladies dressed in various Confucian skirts, all with a modest smile, gather together in groups of three or five, or enjoy the flowers, or listen to the piano, or talk and laugh, all of them have thousands of manners, and compete with the blooming chrysanthemums of various colors.

When the prince and Su Yan came over, on the piano platform, a girl wearing a pink and white skirt, a light purple cardigan, towering temples, and a jade appearance slowly walked away. She gave a shallow blessing in the direction of the water hall, and then sat down, her slender white jade fingers on the strings, and the sound of water flowed out.

Su Yan slowly stopped, stopped and appreciated, no wonder the world called Zhao Yiren and the seventh sister the imperial capital and pearls, it does have its advantages, this piano is not only better than the fifth sister, but also has some meaning in it, which is especially rare. Su Yan has learned since she was a child, all of which have been taught by famous families, she is talented enough, and she has always been diligent and knowledgeable, and it is really not easy for her to be praised in the piano.

The prince gave a rare good evaluation, "Although there are slight flaws, it is not bad." But it's a pity, too much pursuit of the otherworldly, the piano tone is too high, and some can't be contained. ”

Su Yan frowned, "The string is about to break." Before the words fell, the piano song came to an abrupt end, and the last string break was very obvious.

Duan Yan, who was dressed in red not far away, asked with concern: "Sister Zhao, have you hurt your hands?" ”

Zhao Yiren's face was not very good, and he smiled reluctantly, "No." She originally saw the prince coming over and showed her talents with peace of mind, but she didn't want the strings to break, and she was upset for a while.

At the banquet in the palace, Yaoqin is definitely not the only one, a palace maid has already stepped forward to change the qin, Duan Yan asked with a smile: "Sister Zhao, the piano has been changed, do you want to play it again?" ”

"Nope."

"Then the little sister is ugly." Duan Yan walked up to the piano platform lightly, and inadvertently raised her head and smiled, she was born petite and delicate, with picturesque eyebrows, this smile was pure and delicate, touching the heartstrings, attracting the attention of several princes and young men on the side.

The prince turned around and left, and kindly told Su Yan: "Duan Sanniang's qin, don't listen to it, let's go see our father." ”

Su Yan: Is it really good to deny people so much ......? When the piano sounded, she resolutely followed the footsteps of the prince, and went to see the saint.

The prince was a little proud, "I'm right. He whispered to Su Yan, "It's obvious that he doesn't play well, and he doesn't accept other people's opinions." I just told the truth last time, and I was scolded by my sister. ”

By the way, Princess Huyang is Duan Yan's sister-in-law. Su Yan thought of this relationship, and she felt a little sympathetic to His Royal Highness the Prince, "You can mention Jian Yì euphemistically next time." "If you want to improve your skills, just listen to the praise!

Euphemistic? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he was not proficient in this technique, "Forget it, anyway, if she plays the piano again, I won't listen to it." ”

The two of them chatted eagerly, looking at Su Zhoucheng, who came in together, he couldn't wait to step forward and put his daughter in his arms and not let the prince see it.

The emperor sitting on the top was the first time to see Su Yan, even if he read all the beauties in the world, he couldn't help but lose his mind when he saw it for the first time. Suddenly, the emperor understood why his son would never forget this girl, such a beautiful woman in the world is indeed unforgettable. Especially when the banquet begins, and the ladies of all the families seated are reduced to accompaniments, this experience is even deeper.

The emperor looked at Su Yan, who could be painted with every move, and then looked at the second lady of the Zhu family who was sitting next to her, with an ordinary complexion, and even the dignified was lined with rigidity, and for the first time, he felt that he had listed Zhu Erniang as an important candidate for the crown princess before, and he was a little sorry for his son.

The crown princess not only looks at her appearance, but also looks at her morality! The emperor lowered his eyes and repeated repeatedly, before he suppressed the mood of making an immediate decree to fulfill his son.

"Okay, you guys can play, I will take the prince and them to the lake." The people sitting are all unmarried little ladies, the emperor has seen it before, and now it is not good to sit and drink together, anyway, after that, the talent show of composing poems and paintings, as well as the tables of each little lady in the flower viewing banquet, have been presented to him to know. Now it is better to take his son to the lake, although he can't immediately fulfill his son's thoughts, but the balance in the emperor's heart has already tilted more than half to Su Yan's side.

The prince was not happy, very unhappy, he did not want to swim in the lake with his father. However, the emperor was very interested, "Qilang, I heard that Ah Luan in your palace is also there, just let her play the piano to help her play." ”

Ah Luan was called by me to play for my junior sister...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a deep grudge, but his father has left with all the men present, and he can't stay by himself, unhappy, very unhappy!

The emperor took the prince and a group of close ministers and young men from various families away, and the little girls sitting there quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and the smiles on their faces naturally increased.

Concubine Shu had been looking at Su Rong, and seeing her well-behaved and beautiful face, she couldn't help but nod secretly. But my son has always liked talented women, I don't know what about this Su Qiniang?

"The chrysanthemums in the garden are blooming, magnificent and colorful, why don't we write a poem to praise it?" Concubine Xian was the first to speak, and Concubine Shu and Concubine De both had the heart to test the girls seated, so they naturally agreed.

Concubine De smiled: "We don't have to live in one style, or poems or words or paintings, we can do whatever we are good at, which is interesting." ”

Concubine Shu also said: "You also have to make a review, and those who fall will be punished." ”

Princess Changle smiled and said: "Who doesn't know that Concubine Shu is a famous talented woman, and this is a plan to punish her son." ”

Guifei Du Shi quipped: "Sanniang has a large amount, and she is definitely not afraid of punishment." All the concubines in the palace, only the noble concubine dared to talk to Princess Changle like this without being thrown by her, and the other three concubines looked at each other, and at the same time pursed their lips and chuckled.

Princess Changle raised her carefully depicted long eyebrows, and said casually: "Aunt obviously knows that I hate these things the most, and she is far from drinking and coming happily. "She interrupted, and the third concubine over there was not easy to continue, Concubine Shu smiled, "It's all my fault, I'll punish myself." ”

Princess Changle laughed out loud, "Don't, when the time comes, let my father say that I don't know how to learn." ”

"Third sister!" Princess Huyang spoke, not loud, but it was enough to make Princess Changle quiet

Princess Wuyang smiled: "Concubine Shu's mention is excellent, so she should be punished more for Changle, so that she will have a headache when she reads a book." "Father likes talented people, as a daughter, even if it is a princess born by the queen, she has to work hard, why doesn't Changle understand.
