Along the way, Chao Xiwu and Gui Gonggong got along happily, and Chao Ximeng was ignored by them intentionally or unintentionally, which made Chao Ximeng, who was already uncomfortable in his heart, feel even more unhappy with Chao Xiwu, and at the same time disgusted Shanggui Gonggong, feeling that he was going to Chao Xiwu is the eldest lady of the General's Mansion.

Gonggong Gui took the two of them to the queen's palace, Fengqi Palace, and stopped and said with a little apology, "Two young ladies, the slave can only bring the two young ladies here, and after you enter, there will be a palace maid who will receive you to take you, and the slave will retire first." ”

"There is Lao Gui's father-in-law, this is a small heart, please accept it." Chao Xiwu took out a silver ticket from his body, with a face value of not more than fifty taels.

For a person like Gonggong Gui, fifty taels is indeed nothing, but the important thing is Chao Xiwu's heart for him, he did not shirk, happily accepted the silver ticket and said, "Miss Chao, if you need any help from the slave, you can come to the slave." ”

"Thank you, father-in-law." Chao Xiwu said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, Chao Xiwu walked towards Fengqi Palace, Chao Ximeng followed Chao Xiwu's side, and when he passed by Gui Gonggong's side, his gloomy eyes glared straight at him, and then he calmly withdrew his gaze, as if nothing had happened, and followed Chao Xiwu's side obediently.

Gonggong Gui looked at the figures they walked in, and sneered at Chao Ximeng's figure, he has been in the palace for almost twenty years, what kind of person has not been seen, a young lady like Chao Ximeng has seen more, no wonder she can only be the second miss, and her bearing is not as good as Chao Xiwu.

There was a voice in Gui's heart that told her that the future of Chao Xi Wu in the future is absolutely limitless, and if she can deal with Chao Xi Wu, there will definitely be a lot of benefits in the future.

As soon as they walked into Fengqi Palace, a palace maid stepped forward and said, "Two girls, are you here to see the flowers?" ”

Chao Xiwu nodded politely, with a kind smile on the corner of her mouth all the time, and today's outfit just presents her harmony to the extreme, even if she looks like a fairy, but the aura exuded from her body will make people can't help but want to be friends with her.

"Two girls, please follow the slave maid, Fengqi Palace is very large, so as not to get lost and find the way." The palace maid seems to be a kind reminder, but the hidden meaning is that they are all smart people, how can they not understand.

Soon the palace maid brought the two of them to the place of enjoying the flowers, and the place of viewing the flowers seemed to be a back garden of the Fengqi Palace, although it was not big, the scenery was very good, and the careful layout did have a feeling of being in a fairyland.

Queen Li Mei, who was surrounded by everyone, soon found Chao Xiwu and Chao Ximeng, seeing them, Li Mei smiled kindly and said, "You must be the two daughters of General Chao, I have always heard that the two daughters of General Chao are beautiful people, and this palace is really like this when I see them today." ”

Chao Xiwu just smiled and didn't speak, and Chao Ximeng said very modestly, "Queen Mother, you have won the award." ”

Li Mei heard the words and looked at Chao Ximeng a few more times, her eyes were a little gentler, she looked at Chao Xiwu quietly, Chao Xiwu's temperament and appearance are indeed the most prominent among the many daughters, but Chao Xiwu gave her the feeling that it was like Mu Wanyan so it was destined that Chao Xiwu would never be liked by Li Mei.

At the same time that Li Mei was looking at Chao Xi Wu, Chao Xi Wu was also observing the overlord of the harem, and of course she would not ignore the disgust that Li Mei had in her eyes.

"Come, come to the side of the palace, let the palace take a closer look, the palace is a little unclear from such a distance." Li Mei beckoned to them kindly.

Chao Ximeng crossed Chao Xi Dance and took the lead in coming to Li Mei's side, Chao Ximeng's heart was very excited, if she could get the queen's affection, then she would have a better chance of marrying the prince.

Li Mei took Chao Ximeng's hand, looked at her with a smile, and said, "You must be the second lady of General Chao, I heard that the first talented girl of last year fell on you, right?" ”

Chao Ximeng smiled shyly, and said coquettishly, "The courtiers are just a fluke, the first talented female courtiers don't dare to be, there are so many sisters here, how can the courtiers be able to climb into the hall of elegance." ”

Chao Ximeng's pretense of modesty won Li Mei's favor, but she was hated by all the daughters, especially Li Qingqing, who was sitting not far away, she lost to Chao Ximeng by a little mistake that day, allowing her to take away the title of the first talented woman, which has always been a pain in her heart.

Chao Ximeng's pretense made Li Qingqing resentful, and immediately said, "Today we are all here to enjoy the flowers, why don't we come to chant poetry and paint?" ”

Li Qingqing's suggestion aroused Li Mei's interest, and said, "It's okay, let the palace open its eyes and see how the talents of the girls are." ”

Chao Xiwu looked at all the daughters who were eager to try, and a trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes, Li Qingqing would propose at this time, it was nothing more than wanting to compete with Chao Ximeng, and Li Qingqing was Li Mei's niece, Li Mei couldn't let her niece go and help an outsider.

"The courtier girl volunteered, the first to compose a poem, today the peach blossoms in the garden are the most blooming, I will make a poem with the theme of peach blossoms, competing for flowers and not waiting for leaves, dense and unorganized. The swamp people peep and frighten the fish and splash the bridge. As soon as Li Qingqing finished speaking, he received cheers from everyone.

Chaoxi Wu also admired Li Qingqing after listening to it, and was also sad that Li Qingqing would be the first talented woman in her previous life, and such a talent did not insult her. Chao Xiwu glanced at Chao Ximeng lightly, and Chao Ximeng did not panic at all at this time, as if everything was under control.

Li Qingqing glanced at Chao Ximeng provocatively, and said proudly, "I don't know if Sister Ximeng has thought about it?" ”

Not to be outdone, Chao Ximeng stood up, made a blessing to Li Mei, smiled gently, and said, "Since Sister Qingqing is themed on peach blossoms, then I will take Junzilan as the theme." The nature is full of flowers, and the light dye is ingenious. Profit and loss, beauty and ugliness depend on people, and blooming buds come naturally"

After finishing speaking, everyone's hearts have already been separated, Li Qingqing's poems are good, but compared with Chaoximeng's poems, they seem a little cheesy, peach blossoms and Junzi Orchid, peach blossoms are too cheesy, Jun Zilan looks noble and generous, from the selection of topics, it is enough to see the high and low.

And Chao Ximeng's gentle temperament is much worse than the proud Li Qingqing, and at the beginning of this round, Li Qingqing is destined to lose.
