Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Hundred Flowers Gathering Begins

By the time Xiaoguo and Empress Dowager De arrived at Cining Palace, there were already several ladies with orders and titles waiting to meet them in the main hall.

The other party saluted and recited the congratulations, and each took their seats, and each talked about some parents cautiously and politely, mainly by Mrs. De to start the end, and the ladies were responsible for observing the words and colors, and Xiaoguo only needed to keep smiling and sitting there.

After a while, the Empress Dowager said to Xiaoguo with a smile: "The Empress Dowager, it's not early, let's drive to Baihuayuan!" ”

Xiaoguo naturally had no opinion, her heart had already flown over there.

The temperature was suitable and the sun was shining, and at Xiaoguo's suggestion, they did not take the phoenix chariot and walked towards the hundred gardens.

Xiaoguo helped the Empress Dowager De to walk in front, followed by the ladies who were holding their breath, and then the female officials and the eunuchs of the palace.

At this time, many people have gathered in the hundred gardens, and the ring fat swallow is not lively, the nepotism is flying everywhere, and the fragrance is attacking people everywhere.

The young ladies were all dressed in beautiful makeup and colorful clothes, and they were dressed brightly and brightly.

They are in groups of three or five, standing or sitting, some silently watching the flowers in front of the pavilion, and some whispering about the trendy hair jewelry.

The ladies gathered in a group of jewels, talking and laughing, or exchanging tips on how to run a family and raising children, or chatting about some fresh gossip and folk gossip, or teaching each other some experience in cleaning up and punishing concubines.

The palace maid dressed in light green colorful clothes walked back and forth with light steps.

This year's new fruit soup launched by the Hundred Flowers Club has been greatly welcomed and favored, and there is a tendency for demand to exceed supply.

Hearing the announcement, the eunuch shouted: "The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager has arrived!" ”

These high-ranking daughters and noblewomen hurriedly ended their conversation, put down what they were doing, consciously lined up in several columns, and curtched their knees and shouted:

"Meet the Empress Dowager, Queen Mother, Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

Empress Dowager De said: "It's all flat!" ”

She gestured to Xiaoguo, and the latter smiled: "Today is not bound by identity, everyone relax, I hope the girls can bravely pursue happiness, and the ladies can talk and drink to their heart's content, and enjoy the fun of the Hundred Flowers Club!" Finally, I wish you all a dream come true! ”

Everyone thanked the Queen Mother for her congratulations, and the Hundred Flowers Club officially kicked off!

According to the usual practice, at this time, the emperor should say a few words to the young princes in the council room, and then take them to join here, and then the princes and princesses of other countries will visit and join them one by one.

However, the banquet has started for an hour, and the crystal cup in front of the female guests has already bottomed out, but the emperor and the princes have not been seen for a long time.

Xiaoguo participated in the Hundred Flowers Meeting for the first time, but she was ignorant, and her attention was all focused on choosing the princess among the nobles.

The Empress Dowager De was so anxious that she couldn't sit still, so she found a few little eunuchs to go there to find out the reason.

The reply was the same, "King Ding did not come to the Hundred Flowers Meeting." The emperor had an uncomfortable stomach and didn't come out of the toilet, and the sons were waiting in the side hall"!

As the number of times the ladies anxiously looked at the entrance increased, even Xiaoguo sensed that something was wrong.

Empress Dowager De gritted her teeth and instructed the little eunuch beside her, "Pass on the message of the palace, let the sons come over by themselves, don't wait for the emperor!" ”

The little eunuch took the order and trotted to convey it.

After a while, I heard the eunuch's sharp voice coming: "Sons, please see!" ”

Xiaoguo looked at it from afar, a group of young men in various clothes, holding paper fans, running towards this side in high spirits, with a state of impatience.

This fresh "blood" has been injected into Baihuayuan, bringing new vitality to Baihuayuan.

The Hundred Flowers Club finally arrived, and some subtle feelings flowed in the air, and the ladies were full of shyness, secretly looking at the sons; And the boy's buddies talked eloquently, looking like a gentleman, but from time to time, their eyes caught a glimpse of the purple and red "flowers", and tried to find the bud they liked!

At the same time, it is the successive additions of foreign guests.

The first to meet was the little prince of the Drum Country and the prince of the Bana Kingdom, and the two met on the way to Hongyan, and they became friends at first sight.

They respectively presented a peerless guqin and a famous landscape painting as a gift, the prince of the tympanum played a song on the spot, and the prince of Bana painted a pair with the sound of the qin.

The song is a wonderful song, and everyone present listened to it as if they were fascinated; The painting is a good painting, and everyone is amazed to see it!

Then the prince of Zhu Danguo, the princess of Youyin Kingdom, and the prince of Chengming, etc., each brought gifts and showed their best skills.

When the prince of Qingyun Kingdom arrived with his younger sister Princess Sparrow, because of the matter of chili peppers, Xiaoguo paid attention to them, she recalled the wonderful taste of chili peppers, and looked at Princess Sparrow was particularly pleasing to the eye.

Their gift was a Crystal White Jade Divine Bird, and Xiaoguo wasn't interested in bringing a gift, and if she had a choice, she would rather they bring a big bag of chili peppers. In fact, if it weren't for everyone's eyes, if it weren't for the identity of the queen mother, she would have grabbed Princess Sparrow at this time and asked about the chili pepper clearly!

The last to appear was Qin Wuji, the prince of the Zhangque Kingdom, a rugged-looking young man with dark skin and a beard on his chin.

Zhangque State is adjacent to Hongyan State, and it is one of the three rich and powerful countries, and its people are brave and aggressive, and they have repeatedly attacked Hongyan Land, but they have all counterattacked back.

The last time the two countries went to war was five years ago, when Zhang Que took advantage of the death of Emperor Hong Yan and the new emperor did not succeed to the throne, and repeatedly raised troops to invade its borders.

Their rampant actions angered King Ding, who was immersed in the loss of his brothers and sisters, and he angrily led his army not only to defeat the enemy army, but also swallowed several cities of the enemy country, and approached the Zhangque Imperial City Fuxu, which was unstoppable.

Emperor Zhang Que was at a loss and hurriedly sent envoys to beg for mercy, and in the end, after ceding two cities and paying another 10,000 taels of gold, he signed a truce.

Qin Wuji has been defeated by Li Yi's sword twice, and there are only three people in the world who can make him fearful, one is his father Qin Sheng, the second is his compatriot Qin Wuyin, and the last one is Li Yi, the king of Ding!

Zhang Que's attitude towards Hong Yan is the same as that of an ordinary provocation against the victorious side, seven points of jealousy and three points of unwillingness.

Qin Wuji gave a pearl the size of a goose egg as a meeting gift, and the king Li Yi was not at the scene, which made him fearless, and his arrogant and unruly personality was unconsciously exposed.

He had already heard that Hong Yan's queen mother was a young and beautiful woman, and when he saw it this time, it was like a delicious and full fruit, which made people want to swallow it in one bite.

He was obsessed with beauty, and at this time, he stared at Xiaoguo directly, looked her bumpy figure up and down, and said: "Superb pearls with peerless beauty, this beauty tear is simply tailor-made for the Queen Mother!" ”

Xiaoguo was surrounded by his slimy and disgusting gaze, and he was angry in his heart, but he turned his face because of the inconvenience of his identity, and said coldly: "Thank you for the pearl!" Come and take the prince to take a seat! ”
