The emperor and queen entered the garden one after the other, followed by the concubines and a cadre of civil and military ministers.

The ninth princess, Xuanyuan Ping, and the tenth prince, Xuanyuan Rui, followed their mother, Concubine Xiao Liang, and Concubine Wan Gui to enter together; All the men and women in the garden knelt on the ground and saluted.

Feng Roumin and Yu Wanli also quietly entered the table at this time, kneeling down to greet them.

Yu Qinli saw that Yu Wanli had changed into Feng Qingyun's clothes, which was a peach-colored brocade with a pattern of twigs and flowers, beautiful and rich, but it didn't match the jewelry on her head.

Yu Wanli seemed calm, but there was some fear between his eyebrows and eyes, and his face was pale; After all, being pushed into the water is something that others don't feel, and she must have understood that she was framed just now.

She shot her gaze at Mu Qingxue and Sister Fan's seat, her eyes filled with resentment.

After the emperor and the ministers took their seats, the emperor said happily: "Everyone, today is the peony banquet organized by the queen. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

After everyone returned to their seats, the queen looked at the flowers and jade on the women's banquet, and said happily that they were more eye-catching than the peonies in her garden, and she was happy to see them.

At lunchtime, you should be rewarded with a cup of Sydney bird's nest.

The emperor asked his father-in-law, "Is everyone here?"

Father-in-law Quan said: "Yes, all the ministers' families, sons of the family, and Ganjin who should attend the meeting have arrived." "It's a joke, who dares to come later than the emperor?

The emperor nodded: "Then pass the meal, so let's have a competition earlier." ”

"Yes. The father-in-law shouted: "Come on, pass the meal." ”

The palace maid entered the arena with a silver tray of fish in her hand, and the delicacies on the plate were not a problem.

Opposite the women's seats is the men's seats, and almost all the kings, grandsons, nobles, and princes in the capital are opposite.

Therefore, all the ganjin eat like a great enemy, each chew slowly, and a small crystal ball should be eaten in three bites, which made Yu Qinli frown.

She quietly looked at the top, Queen Mo, from a century-old family in the Southern Desert, the prestige of etiquette and religion is extraordinary, and even the daughter can't eat happily, not to mention that she is the master of the harem in the world, and she can't make a mistake with her gestures.

In the last life, when she married Xuanyuan Qi, Mo Shi had already died, and she heard the palace maid tell her that Mo Shi had said before her death that her biggest regret as a queen was that she could not use a good meal.

At first, Yu Qinli scoffed, but when she became the queen, she knew that her heart was dry and dry, and her body was helpless.

Isn't it just a meal? Relive a life, she doesn't want to wronged herself; Quietly swore in my heart that I would have a good meal every time in the future.

Contrary to the crowd of dry gold and reserved eating, Yu Qinli asked Yuerong to help her prepare vegetables to her heart's content, and she ate the food in her bowl without refusal.

has the upbringing of the queen of the previous life, but without the shackles of the queen's identity, she eats chic and pleasing to the eye.

She eats a beef ball whole in her mouth and chews it in her mouth.

The gravy was unexpectedly delicious, and the meat quality was extremely delicate, she felt that it was delicious, and she couldn't help but smile and bend her eyes, and the satisfied look suddenly made the male guest opposite stop his movements and admire the Yuqin pear eating.

Yu Qinli asked Yue Rong to help her scoop a bowl of jade white fungus soup, and the white jade spoon scooped the soup with steam and sent it to Yu Qinli's sandalwood mouth.

The red lips pursed lightly, with a satisfied expression, and then elegantly drank the whole bowl of jade white fungus, and everyone followed the index finger and wanted to follow.

"The second girl of the Xiangguo Mansion family, do you think the Sydney bird's nest rewarded by this palace is delicious?"

Yu Qinli took a moment, and then realized that everyone didn't have to eat, and they all looked at her?

When I got up, I first dazzled everyone's eyes with a sweet and satisfied smile!

It was a simple expression of satisfaction, and it was particularly shocking to see the people who always suppressed their manners for various eyes.

Many men think that if there is a woman in the family who eats with them like this every day, the food must be multiplied.

"Back to the queen's mother, the bird's nest rewarded by the queen's mother is of course delicious, but Qin'er likes every dish here. Like this Sydney bird's nest, the pear juice is sweet but with a vague bitterness, which is the chef's heart, cutting the seeds in the heart of the pear and stewing them together, so that the pear bird's nest is sweet but not greasy, and it also greatly improves the effect of nourishing the face and removing fire. There are also beef meatballs, the meat is of good quality, and the cook's knife skills are better; The sweetness of the beef that can be chopped so minced and the juice locked in is impossible without extremely fast knife work. ”

She looked satisfied: "Qin'er was originally nervous when she participated in the peony banquet, but she was able to eat such a careful and delicious lunch, and she was not nervous when she was in a relaxed mood and waited for the competition, thank you for the reward!" After saying that, it was a perfect one.

That figure is like the standard trained by the grandmother in the palace.

Queen Mo Shi was in a very good mood when she heard the great joy, and immediately said: "Seeing the second girl eating, the index finger was already moving, and when the second girl said this, the palace was also in a happy mood." Come to the people, appreciate the chef of the banquet in the imperial dining room, and increase the silver by ten taels this month. ”

Zhou Mama, who was beside the queen, immediately said: "The slave and maid thanked the queen for the imperial dining room." ”

The queen said: "The second girl will eat more if she likes it, and in the future, the palace will often order you to come to dine with the palace. ”

Yu Qinli sat down with thanksgiving, and Xuanyuan Jing on the other side looked at her with a pair of bright eyes, and his gentle, not delicate appearance was more in line with his temper; I am looking forward to the appointment of the Drunken Immortal Building tomorrow.

Seeing this, Feng Qingyun instantly tasteless. Yu Wanli was jealous in his heart and looked resentful. That eating appearance, as if Xiangguofu didn't give her food, shame!

Xuanyuan thought that this little fairy girl was cute in her sleeping posture and cute in eating.

The queen said: "The other girls are also open to eat, eat more, and only then will they have the strength to perform." ”

"Yes, Queen Xie. But everyone hates Yu Qinli in their hearts, what's wrong with them eating obediently? But when she said this, it seemed that she was the only one in the audience who was good, and they all went down to the next level.

At the end of eating, the eunuchs went to each girl to register for the competition; First static, then dynamic, and finally picking.

The selection test is the most exciting of all the events!

You can challenge women. Last year, the Eighth Prince Xuanyuan Xuan challenged Mu Qingxue's chess skills during the test and finally narrowly won, but it also made Mu Qingxue famous and won last year's third lotus orchid scarf.

At the end of lunch, the palace maid finished cleaning up, and the father-in-law hugged the sign: "Please ask the emperor to write poems and draw the theme of the queen's rhyme." ”

Participating in the poetry writing group, the emperor is on the spot, and the queen draws the rhyme department, and it is impossible to write in advance or catch the knife.

The emperor pondered for a while, stroked his hair and said: "Wait a while, the Sanqingguan Wuji Taoist will come to the scene in person, and the title of the poem will be changed this year, no longer chanting flowers and plants, and changing to Taoist metaphysics." They are all girls' families, so you can set your own title! As long as it is related to Lao Zhuang and I Ching metaphysics; As for the title of the painting, it will be free. ”

As soon as the topic came out, the faces of the women who participated in the poetry and painting group changed a lot! This year's topic is very different from previous years, it is still such a difficult and difficult to understand Sanxuan, many girls frowned, they didn't even read a few pages of the Tao "Tao Te Ching", "Zhuangzi", and "I Ching", how to write poems? How to draw a leisurely poem?

The queen twitched her hand and handed the sign to her father-in-law. Quan Gonggong announced loudly: "Xia Ping Erxian Yun." The girls in the poetry writing group are invited to go to Tianxiangtang to participate in the competition between the girls in the painting group and the chess group. ”

Painting and chess are open competitions, and they are on the platform in the center of Tianxiang Garden.

The stage is divided into two, where the audience can watch the chess players' moves and enjoy the painting process.

The poetry writing team entered the Tianxiang Hall, where the four treasures of the study room were placed, and the gentlemen of the Hallym Academy and the Hanxing Academy were monitored, recorded, and evaluated.

Yu Qinli got up and walked towards Tianxiang Hall with Yue Rong and Yun Qian, Xuanyuan Yan looked at her slender back, smiled slightly, and raised his head to drink.

He didn't expect Yu Qinli to do well in the competition, but he knew that she must have a way to make a splash.
