Jiang Ying shook her head.

"I haven't had much to do lately."

After the closed door, the days are clean and unusual.

Although he said that he was preparing for the confession ceremony, in fact there was nothing to prepare for - Kong Fu had already arranged a qiē, and said very boldly that she didn't have to worry about anything, just eat and sleep well and nourish her spirits.

It's not good to be idle these days, but she can't go out lightly, and she is mostly thinking about delicious food at home.

When Jin Qi heard this, he said, "So let's go."

Jiang Ying let out an "ah" and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Peony Flower Society."

Jiang Ying let out another "ah" and looked at him puzzled.

"Since it's okay, I'm going to go out for a walk." Jin Qi said again.

Jiang Ying heard him say this, and thought about his sentence of 'irrelevant things' just now, so she nodded vaguely.

Jin Qi saw her expression, and then added: "The two concubines and concubines in the palace will also go to enjoy the flowers, and they will also bring the palace cooks with them, and they will set up a banquet in the garden at noon - I ate it once in my previous life, and it was not bad." ”

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Ying heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

What Brother Jin said in his mouth is not bad, but it must be no worse if you think about it!

Nodding his head again this time, it seemed much happier than the one he had just come.

"Then I'll take Wen Qing with me—"

"Hmm." Jin Qi saw her eager expression, and a doting smile couldn't help but appear in his eyes, and he added at the end: "Let Aunt Zhuang go with her." ”

Jiang Ying did not doubt that he should come down, and she had expectations in her heart. I was a little stunned.

Most of the ladies and girls of other families go to see peonies or get acquainted with each other, but it is not very common for her to go for delicious food, right......?

There is a kind of helplessness called, knowing that this is not good, but still can't help but choose to make a mistake without hesitation......

……

Five days is only a blink of an eye.

The much-anticipated peony flower will be fortunate to have a rare good day in the days of continuous spring rain.

Stepping on the cool bright sunshine in the early morning, the ladies and ladies who came together got off the sedan chair in front of the peony garden, whether they were the officials and ladies with luxurious and elegant manners, or the beautiful twenty-eight girls. They all had smiles on their faces. As he walked into the garden under the guidance of the servants, he talked and laughed softly.

The smell of flowers and plants fills the air, making you feel refreshed.

A carriage in front of the park slowly stopped.

The people in the carriage did not immediately get out of the carriage, but lifted a corner of the carriage curtain. Glancing at the garden gate, they greeted each other and the brightly dressed women. The tone was a little apprehensive. Whispered grumbling, "...... You said that you girl, you have to take me with you when you come to this kind of place, and you don't know that I am rude. I don't know any rules, in case I lose someone...... So what should I do? ”

"How could it be ......" Jiang Ying couldn't cry or laugh a little, so she had to try her best to persuade her: "Just think it's here to enjoy the flowers, it's not a formal banquet, as long as you don't roll up your sleeves and scold people, where is it rude and embarrassing?" ”

"That's it, let's just talk less!" Liang Wenqing pushed Zhuang's out of the car, unlike Zhuang's panic and caution, this girl was not stage frightened at all.

"That's ......" Zhuang was a little relieved, and cut his hair, because he seemed to have a little confidence, but in fact, he still made up his mind that he must be cautious everywhere.

The three of them took out the invitation, and as soon as they were welcomed into the garden, a group of strangely dressed maids and attendants came behind them, and the carriage of the oil wall was able to stop, and a scarlet felt boot with antler patterns kicked open the door, and in the blink of an eye, the people in the car had jumped off without the help of the maid.

The ladies who passed by the car had never seen a woman get out of the car like this, and they were about to cast a strange look, but they saw that the woman had a pair of azure eyes, and there was a crystal clear color.

Looking at his clothes and hair accessories, as well as the appearance of the maid beside him, everyone immediately had a number in their hearts...... This should be the Dongzhu princess of Xiling Kingdom who was a guest in the Jin State Mansion!

Dongzhu glanced at them, and when a few familiar ones were about to say hello, they saw that she had withdrawn her gaze and left straight away with the maid and her entourage.

Everyone was surprised, so they had to look at each other.

This princess...... Sure enough, it looks the same as the rumors outside - it is not rude.

After everyone silently watched Dongzhu enter the peony garden, Fang whispered behind him.

Zhuang's Jiang Ying and Liang Wenqing came neither early nor too late, but the second lady of the Jin family, who was the host, came to the garden half an hour ago and personally checked some details, and there were mistakes and omissions in the preparation.

And the ladies and ladies who were invited to come didn't really do anything when they entered the garden, so they ran to enjoy the flowers—most of them went to see Xie in an orderly group.

The peony flower club invites not only the wives and ladies of each family, but also the sons and daughters of each family, just to avoid suspicion, and stipulate their respective areas for viewing flowers.

Nine times out of ten, the men who came here were here to see the peonies, but the women, half of them, were just to take the opportunity to meet the Xie family.

If you are lucky enough to come and say a few words, it will be even better.

Today's Xie Shi is dressed in purple satin, vermilion brocade and wide sleeves are deep, and the South China Sea black pearl necklace with three circles on his neck is particularly eye-catching, the black high bun is meticulously combed, and the peacock title Dongzhu red gold hairpin is inserted two on the left and right behind the bun, and it shakes slightly with its nodding action, and the cheeks that are covered with fat powder look very good.

Xie's appearance is not amazing, but there is a kind of decency and nobility that has been precipitated for a long time and is integrated into the bones.

“…… The last time I came to the Peony Club was five years ago, and this year I returned to Beijing with my lord, so I had the opportunity to see Mrs. Jin again. A woman in her forties looked at Xie and said.

There is obviously an element of flattery in this, but anyone with a discerning eye can see it. The Xie family in front of him has indeed not changed much compared to a few years ago.

The only difference is ...... is not as in previous years, with the niece Xie Jiarou, who is known as the first beauty in Kyoto, by his side.

"Why didn't my cousin come with Madame to enjoy the flowers this year?" A woman couldn't help but ask.

Xie Jiarou's reputation was spread by everyone when she first appeared at the Peony Flower Party four years ago, and in the past four years, Xie Jiarou has presided over the Peony Flower Party with Xie every year, but this year is the opposite.

"Occasionally, I feel cold, so I don't want to go out, so I can only stay in the house to recuperate." Xie Shi smiled as usual: "There are ladies who are still worried about this girl. ”

Xie Jiarou has indeed been saying that she is sick recently.

Whether it is a real disease or a fake disease, but it is also obvious.

Although Xie Shi is indebted, he is by no means a soft-hearted person, and he knows that if Xie Jiarou continues like this, he will ruin the overall situation. No connivance. I didn't go to visit, I just wanted to calm him down for a while, as a lesson.

"Madam, Princess Dongzhu is here......"

There are maids walking into the church.

"Where is it now?" Xie asked.

The princess went straight to the East Garden...... Let the slave and maid talk to the lady. She went straight to enjoy the flowers. I won't come to Madame to say hello. ”

"This kid is really anxious......" Xie shook his head helplessly. With a conniving smile, he only said: "But it's no wonder - a few days ago, I was clamoring to come to the garden to see the flowers, and I told her that they hadn't bloomed yet." I still don't believe it...... Today, I finally opened this peony, where can I wait? ”

When the people heard it, they could not fathom the sound of the words.

It sounds like there is a special intimacy between Princess Dongzhu and Mrs. Jin.

"In this case, let's not delay the time, today you are already here to enjoy the flowers, what is the pestle like here?" Xie Shi had an approachable smile on his face, and after speaking, he was carried up by the maid.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly followed, but they didn't dare to get too close, they could only hold a smiling face and talk all the way.

"Estimating the hour, it is time for several masters and mothers in the palace to arrive." A young woman in green clothes beside Xie said with a smile, glancing at the corridor in front of her.

Another woman took over the conversation and said with a smile: "There are many rules for ladies, and there are many people around us, so we won't go up." ”

Although he was laughing, his tone was quite normal, but his words inevitably revealed two or three points of contempt.

Xie Shi only smiled noncommittally and did not say much.

In previous years, people in the palace never needed her to meet in person, most of them were rewarded, and they also coped with a few words when they met, but they still had to put their posture lower.

However, even so, the Xie family did not like to meet with them.

But there happened to be a saying that Cao Cao Cao arrived - at the corner of the intersection where the roads in front of him met, a group of women in palace clothes with extraordinary manners came to everyone without warning.

“…… It's really a coincidence, and Fang just talked to Mrs. Jin about a few mothers. One of the women who spoke the most along the way was extremely quick to respond, and the first one opened her mouth to greet and salute.

A young woman dressed as a concubine at the front hurriedly helped her, and the easy-going smile on her face was almost incommensurate with her identity, and said: "Today is the Peony Flower Festival, and I came out to enjoy the flowers and relax, so don't stick to these cumbersome etiquette." ”

The person who spoke was Concubine Chen, who was said to be deeply favored.

Xie Shi recognized which one of her was, but he only bowed his head slightly, chatting about etiquette.

Concubine Chen also nodded and bowed, and then smiled at everyone and said, "This road is too narrow, and our sisters won't compete with the ladies, so please take a step first——"

After only two or three words of greeting, the two people parted ways as in previous years.

This is the mode of getting along between the palace and the Jin family.

There are men negotiating with major events, and these women, they have maintained a distance of not far or near in private for many years, never overstepping, but they do not deliberately curry favor with them.

When the Xie family walked farther away, the smile on Concubine Chen's face like a spring breeze disappeared, and only a pair of beautiful eyes never moved away from the colorful peony flowers, as if they liked it very much.

"No matter how beautiful the flowers are, I get tired of looking at them every year." A concubine who was about thirty-five or sixteen years old helped the side of her bun and said with interest, "Only my sister is very interested, and she is not too tired to come to the palace every year after entering the palace...... The emperor has always spoiled his sister tightly, and he has to let everyone accompany him when he returns......"

The end of the words was slightly sour, but everyone seemed to have become accustomed to it.

Concubine Chen didn't mind at all, but smiled at the maid on one side and ordered: "Bi Tao, pick a few of the best blooming flowers and fold them down, and bring them back to the palace to send to the queen's mother——"

The palace maid responded with a full mouth, and cautiously walked into the flowers.

"Sister, what's the matter?" Seeing this, the concubine who spoke before said again: "The queen can't see with her eyes, no matter how good this flower is, but she doesn't have this blessing to appreciate, my sister has been here every year to let people pick the best and send it, isn't it in vain?" ”

"I don't have to worry about it, sister." Concubine Chen was still laughing, not only that, but she also lifted the corner of her skirt and went to the depths of the flowers with the palace maid who called Bi Tao before.

Seeing this, the concubine's fingertips trembled, and she secretly gritted her teeth, and said to the second-class concubines and palace maids behind her: "Let's go ......!" I won't delay Concubine Chen's sister to offer filial piety to the queen's mother——"

The group walked away in different places, Concubine Chen looked at a peony in her hand that had just bloomed, but it was also extremely delicate, and said with a smile: "This year not only bloomed earlier than in previous years, but also better than in previous years, and sent it to Weiyang Palace, my sister must be happy......

……

However, at this time, Jiang Ying was almost collapsed......

In broad daylight, she was plotted by someone!

- She followed the nurse and Liang Wenqing to the peony garden, and as soon as she left the sight of the garden servant, she was inexplicably knocked unconscious by someone from behind!

When I woke up, I don't know where in the garden, there was no nurse and Liang Wenqing around me, and all I saw were rockeries and rocks, and a few new willows that had just sprouted.

She wanted to move, but found that her hands and feet were tied tightly, and she wanted to shout, her mouth had been sealed and she couldn't die anymore.

Jiang Ying tried to stand up a few times, but she had to lie on the spot in despair, looking at a clear clear sky overhead, and asking herself which god and Buddha she had offended recently.

Who would dare to make such a bold move on the territory of the Jin family, and the purpose that the other party might have-

After some self-righteous analysis, Jiang Ying quickly came to a conclusion in her heart......
