Qin Fengxin pursed her lips and snorted coldly: "I know that I have the dream of being your queen, and I don't want to think about whether I have that qualification." ”

Jiang Ruoxue's face sank, but she didn't stop, continued to walk forward, and sat back in her position.

Of course, Mo Gongyin saw Jiang Youxue's cold and disdainful eyes, she just smiled indifferently, do her essential work, be a good guard, make less trouble, and wait and see what happens.

Bei Nianchen also returned to his position, for his arrival, the people at the banquet were not very curious, and they didn't take it seriously, but they were very interested in Nanchengni, especially the men who participated wanted to get the favor of the princess and won a smile.

The champion Pei Yichen took the initiative to step forward to curry favor, walked to the center of the stage, looked at Nancheng Ni and said respectfully: "The princess came at the right time, everyone is chanting poetry and dancing competitions, and the winner will get that pot of peony flowers." "On the right side of the stage, there is a pot of delicate peony flowers on the top of a few steps, the petals are bright blood red, and only one is blooming, the rest are still buds, and in the blooming stamen is a milky white animal.

"Sure enough, it's the best, the name is beautiful, and the flowers are also beautiful." Nancheng Ni also looked up at the pot of peony flowers called Tilting Heart, and there was a trace of amazing brilliance in her eyes, she liked it very much. But when he saw the little thing in the stamen wriggling, he was a little stunned and asked, "By the way, what is the white thing on the stamen?" ”

Pei Yichen raised the corners of his lower lip slightly and replied: "That little thing is called Mu Qiu, it is Miao Gu, that is, Gu worm." ”

Hearing that it was a Gu worm, Mo Gongyin frowned, how could such a terrible thing appear in Nanjing? Don't these people know how terrifying this little thing is?

Bei Nianchen's sharp eyes took the emotions on Mo Gongyin's face into his eyes, but he didn't speak, just picked up the water on the table and sipped it.

Nancheng Ni didn't know much about this kind of thing, and thought it was a very rare variety, so he said with interest: "Then is there anything special about this Gu worm and that flower?" ”

"This pot of peony flowers was raised by the person in charge of Baihua Lake, and she just sent this flower here, saying that if the person wins today's competition, he can take this flower away, including Mu Qiu. The name of this flower is to pour the heart, that is, to protect the meaning of love, the flower is placed at home has the effect of nourishing the skin, and the mother autumn is just to suck the flower juice in the stamen, and when the flower withers, the mother autumn can be used as a medicine, there are healing scars and birthmarks, and even can keep a woman for 10 years without aging. Pei Yichen slowly said the effect of the peony flower and the Gu worm, especially the last sentence aroused the curiosity and possessiveness of all the women present.

"No, it won't! The person in charge of the flower delivery just now didn't say that this flower has this effect! ”

"Yes! How do you know so much? ”

"If there is a cure for the birthmark, then my sister will be able to regain her appearance."

The women present all discussed and argued.

"In this way, this heart and mother autumn are just rare medicinal materials." Nancheng Ni's beautiful face was indifferent, and she seemed to have a suspicion about this flower, whether it was true or not.

If it was true, she was a little interested in participating in the competition.

When Qin Fengxin heard this, she was a little disdainful of Pei Yichen's words, and looked at her with a pair of apricot eyes, "How can you be sure that what you said is true?" The person in charge of Gang Baihua Lake didn't say what this flower was called, let alone what kind of Gu worm was on the stamen, I think it should be a silkworm chrysalis. ”

"That's right! I think Miss Qin is right, it should be a silkworm chrysalis, so what about such a magical little animal? ”

"If you really have the effects you said, the person in charge should be reluctant to take it out!"

"Actually, I think Gu worms are a bit evil, they can't be the kind of people that eat people!"

The people in the audience began to argue again, Pei Yichen was not angry, his expression was still so firm, and he said confidently: "This is also what I saw in an ancient book, and I heard that the women of the Holy Sect are also raising hearts and mothers, so they will always maintain their youth." ”

"Master Zhuangyuan, I heard you say that you are dignified, could it be that you have a great relationship with the Holy Sect?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone shifted their attention to the most inconspicuous seat on the edge of the stage, it was Wu Zhuangyuan Gao Ran, he had the demeanor of a military general, and looked at Pei Yichen with a smile on his handsome face, and everyone understood the meaning of the words.

Pei Yichen frowned slightly, and said with a straight face: "If I have anything to do with the Holy Sect, do I still need to say these things in such detail?" These things only need to be checked a little to know, don't you even know these common sense? ”

Gao Ran smiled incomprehensibly: "It's not clear, isn't there less of a thief shouting to catch a thief?" And this is just a pot of ordinary flowers, which is very precious when you say it, and if this is the case, you should hide such important information and keep it for yourself. ”

"It's for women, and I don't need it as a big man. By the way, anyway, today is the Qixi Banquet, a good match, why don't you find a beautiful woman here to go home, and then give it to her? ”

Nanchengni looked up at the sky, a little stuffy, and saw that the champion of civil and military affairs was arguing over a trivial matter, so he unconsciously interrupted: "Okay, let's stop here!" Didn't you say there was a competition? Start early. ”

Speaking of the beginning of the banquet competition, everyone began to be excited again, and they all wanted to win the first place to take the peony flower for themselves, which is a medicine that continues the aging of the face for ten years, and women want it.

"Before the princess arrived, it was the little girl who played the "Chang'an Song", I don't know if the princess wants to start the competition again or ....." The question was Jiang Ruoxue, she was also slim, captivating the country and the city, and the words she said were also very gentle, very good, how could she be the first talented woman in Nanjing, not in vain.

Nancheng Ni pondered for a while, blinked his eyes, and muttered, "Let's start again!" The main palace also has to compete. ”

"Ahh

The princess participated, so they were even more hopeless.

Nan Chengni looked at everyone and pursed his lips and chuckled: "It's okay, this palace will not show favoritism, this is a very fair competition, and this year's Qixi banquet will invite the prince of the Northern Kingdom to preside, it's good!" His eyes swam slightly to Bei Nianchen.

Bei Nianchen and Nan Chengni looked at each other, their faces were kind, their smiles were slight, and they nodded in agreement: "Such an interesting competition, it is the honor of this king to be the host." ”

Nancheng Ni smiled lightly, turned to look at everyone, and said loudly: "Then from this moment on, the participants will compete with singing and dancing, poetry, painting, and piano and chess, and the winner will be the winner." The jade hand raised his finger and pointed to the peony flower on the steps and said, "You can bring this pot home with your heart, and you will also be the master of the mother autumn." ”

Everyone in the audience is very excited! The winner can take home their hearts, and everyone is thinking about how to stand out and win the competition.

Bei Nianchen stood up from the main seat and walked to the middle of the stage, and said, "The competition has officially begun, who will come up first." ”

The audience was surprised for a while, no one dared to go up, not because they didn't dare to go up, but they didn't want to be the first to lose face.

Bei Nianchen raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "What, wasn't everyone very interested just now?" Can't put it down? Now at the critical juncture of the competition, he did not dare to come on stage to compete. ”

"I'm coming...."The person who came out of the queue was Wu Zhuangyuan Gao Ran, he stood up and slapped the table with his big hand and flew up, a spin up and down in the middle of the stage, and bowed politely to Bei Nianchen: "Lord Wang, I am a martial artist, I don't know how to write poetry and painting, but I will play a few unsightly kung fu, so I will be ugly." ”

Gao Ran was open-minded, and he listened to what he said, Bei Nianchen smiled modestly, and then took the initiative to withdraw and give up the stage to him, the moment he turned around, his eyes just saw Mo Gongyin's anxious mood, but it was just a moment, and he calmly returned to the main seat.

Gao Ran snorted from his waist on the stage, pulled out a soft sword, and gestured one move at a time, the movements were skillful, the sword was sharp and varied, and the people in the audience looked frightened and serious.

Mo Gongyin looked at Gao Ran who was performing on stage, her eyes shone with a hint of light, she didn't say a word from the beginning to now, just stood behind Nancheng Ni obediently and respectfully, and she was a dutiful guard. From time to time, I will raise my eyes to see the peony flowers placed on the steps, but my heart is thoughtful. Falling in love is an extremely beautiful name, but also with a hint of ** confusion, like a woman so enchanting and charming, a flower called this name can be imagined to have some meaning. And the mother autumn in the stamen is a Gu worm, she once heard Long Fei say that the Gu worm is a kind of insect raised by the Miao people, and all kinds of poisonous insects are concentrated in the same vessel, allowing them to attack and devour each other, and the last one who survives is Gu, that is, the king of poisonous insects. Now that there are Gu worms flowing into Nanjing, it is still so blatant, is it a coincidence or a conspiracy.

"Good..... It's not a loss to be a martial champion, and his moves are neat, and I admire him. ”

"Gao Gongzi is good at martial arts, and he is handsome, he is a good choice, I don't know who is so blessed." The audience was full of praise and applause.

After Mo Gongyin was distracted for a while, Gao Ran had already finished the competition and was about to retreat, "Admit it." ”

Bei Nianchen sat in place, put down the teacup in his hand, and then slowly raised his head and said, "Who is the next person to compete?" Please come on stage. ”

"Lord Wang, shall I do it?" Qin Fengxin raised her hand and looked at Bei Nianchen and asked.

Bei Nianchen glanced at her, pursed his lips and nodded with a smile: "Of course you can." ”

When Qin Fengxin heard this, she happily stood up from her seat with her skirt, walked onto the stage, and ordered her personal maid to prepare pen and ink, paint, and table, she laid out the paper, bit her lip and smiled, turned her face to look at Mo Gongyin and began to put pen to paper.

When she saw it, she focused all her eyes on Mo Gongyin's body, what was going on?

Mo Gongyin felt countless pairs of eyes staring at her, curious, appreciative, contemptful, hateful, all kinds of eyes converged, making her stunned, what was going on? Why are you staring at yourself one by one? Who is she provoking and provoking someone, hasn't she always been very low-key?

Bei Nianchen couldn't take his eyes off her, and didn't let go of the slightest change in her expression, her eyebrows and eyes curled, and she smiled lightly.

"Does she have a crush on you?" Nancheng Ni raised his head to look at Mo Gongyin, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know Qin Fengxin?" ”

Mo Gongyin lowered his eyes and shook his head and said sincerely: "My subordinates don't know each other, this is the first time we have met." ”

Nancheng Ni had a trace of doubt on his face, obviously disbelieving, and said angrily: "You are really a living demon, you can make others pay attention to you wherever you go." ”

Mo Gongyin grinned when she heard this: "Princess, others like subordinates, that's her business, what does it have to do with her subordinates?" ”

Nancheng glanced at her and asked, "Are you really boring to her?" She looks so beautiful, she is still ..... Qin"

"Nope." Before she finished speaking, she was coldly interrupted.

"But she's interesting to you?" Going around and back.

"That's because she's sick in the head." Mo Gongyin replied with an uninterested look.

"Hehe....." Nancheng Ni smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Qin Fengxin who was painting on the stage, and was in a good mood.

It takes some time to paint, and it has taken a lot of time, and it has been changed twice, and I haven't seen Qin Fengxin finish the painting, and many people are impatient to wait and can't sit still.

Nan Chengni took a piece of osmanthus cake from the table and waited patiently while eating, halfway through eating, thinking that Mo Gongyin had stood for a long time and had not eaten, he picked up another piece of osmanthus cake from the plate and wanted to give her a piece.

"Hungry! ......Just halfway through the words, I suddenly caught a glimpse of her auspicious pale face, and cold sweat overflowed on her smooth forehead, and she quickly threw away the food in her hand, and stopped when she wanted her to eat, "Why, your face is so pale?" ”

Mo Gongyin took a breath, shook his head and said, "It's okay......"

"Liar, honestly, what's wrong with you? Is it your illness again? Nancheng Ni was a little anxious, but she didn't dare to make a loud noise, she just reached out and grabbed her shirt.

Mo Gongyin glanced at her, did she want to say to herself that she was hungry and had stomach problems?

However, it was good that she discovered her abnormality, and she was just about to find an excuse to leave.

"Yes, last time Mei Xinju was killed by thieves, my illness was sometimes good and sometimes bad, it was really annoying, and it made the princess worried." Mo Gongyin muttered distraughtly, but he replied sincerely, a little weak, and he was unsteady on his feet.

"I'll declare the Imperial Doctor immediately...."

"No need, my subordinates don't want to affect everyone's interest because of this little thing, so be it! The emperor has been secretly arranging secret guards to protect the princess, allowing his subordinates to go back to the palace to take medicine and rest, and come back later to pick up the princess back to the palace. Mo Gongyin grabbed Nan Chengni's wrist, his voice a little panting and pleading.

Nancheng Ni saw that her face was getting paler and paler, almost fainting, and she couldn't bear it at all, so she nodded: "Okay, you just go back to the palace quickly, remember to take medicine and rest, if your body does not recover, you don't have to go out of the palace to pick me up, I will arrange it." ”

"Princess Xie." Mo Gongyin looked at her gratefully, and pulled out a weak smile and reminded in a low voice: "Don't participate in the competition, this may be a conspiracy, the flowers and Gu insects are harmful things, you must not bring them back to the palace." With that, he turned and quietly left.

Nancheng Ni's heart trembled, as if she understood something, after seeing Mo Gongyin leave, she heard Qin Fengxin on the stage say that the painting was ready, she had no interest in painting, her mind was full of Mo Gongyin's pale face, and what she said.

Something harmful? Didn't you say it was a medicine introduction? How can it hurt people?

"Yikes! ..... How could it be him! It seems to be the man who came in with the eldest princess, and it was the black-clothed guard! ”

"Could it be that Miss Qin likes the princess's guards? Not bad! The guard was so handsome. ”

"I'm afraid that one is intentional and the other is unintentional! Hey hey ....."

Qin Fengxin painted the portrait of Mo Gongyin, and the painting was real and lifelike, both the face and the charm were painted with seven points of similarity, and she didn't care what the people in the audience said, she just wanted the man to take a look, but when she saw the corner where there was no shadow of Mo Gongyin, she sighed in disappointment.

Why is it gone? Still there?

Bei Nianchen had already found out about Mo Gongyin's departure, and when he saw that her face was wrong, he thought that she was injured before going back, and he didn't think much about it.

Coming out of the Baihua Lake Palace, Mo Gongyin quickly walked through a flower forest, hid in the dark and snapped her fingers, and Zhan Shu immediately appeared in front of her.

"Your Highness."

"Are things ready? Has anyone been following Hongu? Mo Gongyin took a step forward and said in a low voice, now she has no internal strength, and she can't detect the master tracking her at all, so she is very cautious, and she doesn't want to be grabbed by the throat and let others fiddle with her.

Zhan Shu's face was solemn: "Ready, someone will come here to meet His Highness in a while." The emperor seems to trust you very much, and he did not arrange for others to follow you. ”

"He's a cunning fox, of course he wouldn't do such a stupid thing, this palace is talking about other people." For example, the virtuous prince of the northern kingdom? Whether it was a coincidence or premeditated to come to Nanjing at this time, and even the real owner behind this Baihua Lake made her feel terrible.

It's upset to think that the damn emperor actually threw this mess at her.

"Not either." Zhan Shu nodded affirmatively.

"Take good care of the princess and don't leave without permission." Mo Gongyin's eyes lit up, and he raised his eyes to look at Zhan Shu's advice.

Zhanshu's eyes flashed, and he lowered his eyes: "Yes, my subordinates listen to Your Highness." ”

"If we want to return to Mexico alive in Nanjing, we have to endure it, and when he gets better, he will find a way to save me." Mo Gongyin turned his back, looked away, his eyes wandered, and suddenly fixed in one place, and shouted: "Wait, what is that?" ”
