() In a blink of an eye, it was time to go to the palace banquet.

Although the banquet is held at night, there is also a small banquet in the harem during the day, which is presided over by the queen herself.

The wives entered the palace early, and while the snow had melted and the weather was fine, a group of ladies set up a poetry and wine party in the imperial garden.

When Qin Niang arrived, there were already many people in the imperial garden.

The Mu family and Fang Yuanyuan's sisters and brothers are here.

"Sister Qin, this way!" As soon as they saw her, Fang Yuanyuan and several people rushed towards her.

"Sister Qin, where did you make this garment? It's so beautiful. Fang Yanyan had sharp eyes, and recognized the embroidery on Qin Niang's clothes at a glance, "This Feng Erniang's embroidery is not available to ordinary people, I asked my sister to queue up for you for half a year last year and couldn't buy it, and I don't know how many noble ladies in the capital want to buy it!" I didn't expect Sister Qin to be able to buy it, and there must be a lot of red eyes for a while. ”

As soon as Fang Yanyan's words fell, many women and nobles came to her and asked where she bought her clothes.

Sister Qin just kept a decent smile and replied one by one: "This is the fabric that Gu Lang ordered from Lingnan three months in advance, and I bought a few horses in total, so I was lucky." ”

When everyone heard this, there was indescribable envy in their eyes.

"We can't even buy a single horse, and Mrs. Gu Shao also bought a few, which is really a luxury."

"This Feng Erniang's embroidery can't be bought with silver, it seems that Gu Shao is really interested in the young lady, who said that marrying a businessman is lowly, look at this dress is not worse than us women who have a fate."

After laughing sourly for a while, everyone dispersed.

"Sister Qin, my mother and they are going to listen to the play in a while, why don't we go over there to play." Mu Zhixin pointed to the pavilion not far away, "It is said that Cao Muzhi's quatrain is printed on the pillar, and there is a relief on the pillar, and spring water can be spit out in the relief, and I like to go there to make tea every time I enter the palace." ”

"You know to drink, sitting there can look at the whole royal garden, the scenery is unique, go quickly, if you go late, you will be occupied." Fang Hao couldn't wait to say.

So, a few people hula and walked up to the high cool stop.

Before they arrived, they were attracted by the sound of the piano, and the song "Ruixue" directly introduced people into the scene, and several people even paused to lift their feet and move forward.

It wasn't until the sound of the piano fell that anyone came back to their senses.

"I don't know who plays the piano on it, at this level, the piano teacher of the Wenqu Academy may not be much higher than him." Mu Zhinian praised.

"It's really good, let's go up and have a look." Qin Niang is also very interested in meeting the people who play the piano above.

As a result, several people couldn't help but speed up the pace of climbing the mountain.

After a cup of tea, several people finally arrived at the pavilion on the top of the mountain, Fang Hao couldn't hold his breath the most, and as soon as he stepped into the pavilion, he shouted: "Who was playing the piano just now, playing really well." ”

As his words fell, several princes who had originally gathered in the pavilion turned their heads and looked at him.

Fang Hao looked at it, and the lines on his face suddenly tightened: "It turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and several Royal Highnesses of the Princes were drinking tea here, which was rude." ”

The few people who came up later also saluted the princes who were seated.

"Mrs. Gu, let's meet again." Song Huai, who was sitting cross-legged by the piano, looked at Qin Niang mildly with a smile on the corner of his lips

said.

Qin Niang saluted him and said: "It turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was caressing the qin, it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really both civil and military, and he is a rare talent in the eastern country." ”

Song Huai was praised by her like this, and he was very happy in his heart, but he had a modest look on his face: "Where is it, compared to Mrs. Gu Shao, I'm afraid it's still far behind." ”

Qin Niang's name was played at the age of ten, and at that time she was still fighting with the children and ladies of the family in Baozhen Pavilion, and who didn't know her piano skills in the capital?

"Since Your Highnesses are here, let's go play elsewhere." Mu Zhinian said.

As soon as they turned around, Song Huai stopped them: "Wait! ”

Several people looked back at him in unison.

Song Huai got up calmly, and several other princes also stood up, and even the third prince who was riding a horse and broke his leg was also supported by the little eunuch to stand up.

"It's rare for a few people to come to the palace, after all, today we are the masters, you are guests, if the guests like here, we will naturally give up the place." Song Huai said, smiling at the rest of the younger brothers and asking, "A few imperial brothers, do you say yes?" ”

Several princes bowed their hands to him in unison and said, "What the imperial brother said is true." ”

Song Huai smiled extremely modestly, hugged his qin and nodded at the few of them with a smile, and then led the rest of the princes out of the pavilion.

When the third prince Song Yu was passing by Mu Zhinian, he took a special look at her and asked, "It is said that Miss Mu and Yang are engaged?" ”

Mu Zhinian remembered what Qin Niang had said to her before, her face suddenly felt embarrassed, she lowered her head, and forced her voice to sound more natural: "Yes, Third Highness." ”

When Song Yu heard this, there was a hint of loss in his eyes, but he hid it very well, and soon laughed again: "That's really congratulations, the Yang family has a good family style, and I guess I will be very happy if I marry in." ”

Mu Zhi didn't dare to look up at him after reading it, but replied mechanically: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness." ”

Song Yu didn't say anything more, and after nodding at a few people, he was supported by the little eunuch and slowly walked down the mountain.

It wasn't until a few people finally left the pavilion and walked away that they couldn't see the figures, and a few people breathed a long sigh of relief.

"I thought the emperor's sons were all very upright! Today, it seems that these highnesses have excellent faces. Fang Yuanyuan patted his chest, forgive her for being timid, after all, with an identity like a prince, her daughter of a third-grade military attache is not something that can be seen often.

Mu Zhinian didn't breathe a sigh of relief?

Just now, she almost thought that Song Yu was going to say something, which made her heart rise to her throat.

Fortunately, this Third Highness is a sensible person.

The complexity and sadness that flashed in Song Yu's eyes when she looked at Mu Zhinian just now, Qin Niang saw it clearly, she thought, he should regret not proposing to Cheng'an Houfu in time, right?

However, Mu Zhinian should be lucky, in another three months, she will be able to marry the man she likes at first sight.

This is a treatment that many high-ranking ladies do not have.

"Alright, they're all gone, let's play ours." Fang Hao was the most lively, as soon as he saw that the big people were gone, the skin on his body was loosened again, and he jumped to a pillar in three steps and two steps, pointing to the dragon carved on it, "Look, this dragon's mouth can spit out spring water, it is said that this spring water is sweet, I heard that Sister Qin soaked."

The craftsmanship of the tea is first-class, so this time I brought some good tea. ”

As he spoke, he ordered his servant to quickly take out the utensils.

When Fang Yuanyuan saw it, he shook his head helplessly, when it came to playing, her brother was more energetic than anyone else, and he didn't see him so active in schoolwork.

After a while, a few palace maids came up with all kinds of snacks, and the leader said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince instructed the slaves and maids to prepare some food for the nobles, and I hope that a few of them will have some fun." ”

When Fang Hao heard this, his face immediately turned into a smile: "I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be a careful person." ”

Mu Zhixin held his face and said: "Of course, the prince's brother is the most amiable prince in the world, and when he talks to us on weekdays, he never calls himself the palace." ”

Fang Hao looked at the look on her face, and "cut" in his mouth, but he did have a lot of respect for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in his heart.

Qin Niang did not comment on Song Huai, after all, he was the one who would succeed to the throne in the future, where could he be a truly humble person?

She subconsciously didn't want to have anything to do with the royal people, so after a few palace maids left, she forcibly changed the topic: "Today's palace banquet, I don't know if you have invited the envoys from the Northern Regions?" ”

When it comes to the envoys of the Northern Regions, the few people sitting here are like they have been beaten with chicken blood, and you and I have said it word by word.

"It is said that the three princesses are still lying in bed! The prime minister in their mission ran to the Holy Emperor and cried for a long time, kneeling and threatening, but the Holy One ignored him. Fang Yuanyuan has always been the most well-informed, and when he talked about this, his eyes were full of excitement, "I heard my father-in-law say that the mission originally wanted to take Qiao and not come to the palace banquet, but His Majesty didn't send anyone to invite him again, so the more they thought about it, the more unwilling they became, and they came by themselves." ”

Burst~

When a few people heard this, they couldn't hold back, this Northern Regions mission was too funny, and it was typical to be embarrassed.

"Therefore, these wild calves just can't get used to it, they are used to being demons, and they really think that they are some kind of big country, but they are here to seek peace, and they dare to be so arrogant!" Mu Zhixin snorted and said, "I don't know which good person who is doing the right thing for heaven actually beat the arrogant princess of the Northern Regions so much that she can't get out of bed, it's really happy." ”

Qin Niang suddenly choked and coughed, and her eyes drooped a little weakly.

Mu Zhixin didn't notice it, but Mu Zhinian did, and she suddenly remembered that the princess of the Northern Regions seemed to have an argument with Qin Niang in the viewing seat of the martial arts arena that day.

She just wanted to ask if it had anything to do with her, but before she could open her mouth, she was interrupted by an arrogant voice: "Ah, I said why I didn't come up before I felt a turbid breath rushing to my face, it turned out that this place was polluted." ”

Several people looked at the owner of the voice in unison, and saw a richly dressed girl standing there, her beautiful face was full of arrogant light, and her eyes looked at a few people in the pavilion, and even more so at a few ants.

And the few people surrounding her, Qin Niang knows each other, and they are very familiar.

The one on the left is Wen Jingshu, the granddaughter of Mrs. Wen, the one on the right is Ji Baochun, the daughter of the Ministry of Works, and the rest are all familiar faces.

Moreover, it is still a familiar face who has had a holiday with Qin Niang.

And the one who spoke out just now was Wen Jingshu, the granddaughter of Mrs. Wen.

"Miss Wen, please pay attention to what you say!" Fang Yuanyuan felt that there were really many people who hated him in this world.
