Liu Siyi probably saw Rong Ruo's dazedness, and explained with a smile: "Every year in late autumn, the daughters of the family in the capital will participate in the competition, and whoever wins the top will be rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"The emperor is also interested in this?" Rong Ruo knows, this is a beauty pageant in disguise.

Liu Siyi smiled: "After late autumn, it is winter, which can be regarded as adding a little joyful atmosphere to the capital in advance." ”

Rong Ruo crossed his hands, his small chin rested on the back of his hand, and gossiped: "What kind of things will the emperor usually reward?" ”

"The year before last it was the East China Sea coral, and last year it was the Jade Ruyi ......"

I think the things sent by the emperor must not be very bad, and I don't know how this game will be compared.

"Who was the leader last year?" Rong Ruo thought of another question, don't be the arrogant Zheng Jiaren, she knows these three at present.

Liu Siyixing's eyes were bright and he smiled: "It was me last year." ”

Rong Ruo's red lips opened slightly, and her eyes narrowed, could it be that Liu Siyi suddenly mentioned this question to show off?

Liu Siyi took the tea cup again: "But winning or losing is second, the sisters all take this opportunity to get together, although they live in the same capital, it is not easy to meet on weekdays." ”

Rong Ruo scratched her head, so she didn't believe Liu Siyi's words.

"However, I don't know who will preside over this year, according to last year, it should be King Duan, but now King Duan is confined in the palace, and even the forbidden army has been handed over to King Jing......" Liu Siyi said to himself, and asked Rong Ruo: "Miss Rong, have you heard King Jing talk about this." ”

Rong Ruo shook his head: "No." ”

Of course, Liu Siyi also knew that when she mentioned safflower painting just now, it was obvious that Rong Ruo had heard of it for the first time.

"Miss Rong, do you think it will be presided over by King Jing this year?"

Rong Ruo clicked a finger on the edge of the tea bowl and bent the corner of her lips: "I guess what this is for, is it him, on that day, Miss Liu will know, what's the matter, Miss Liu still wants to go through the back door with me?" ”

If she really thinks so, Liu Siyi has miscalculated, she and Mu Beichen, those three sentences can't fit together.

"Miss Rong misunderstood, I'm just curious."

Rong Ruo raised his chin and looked lazy: "Why do I think Miss Liu is not interested in me, but very interested in King Jing?" ”

Liu Siyi was suddenly said to be thoughtful, quietly turned red, and said a little embarrassed: "Miss Rong, don't make this joke." ”

Rong Ruo's black eyes lit up, and when he saw Liu Siyi's appearance, he knew that he had guessed right. Originally, she is not a person who loves flowers and flowers, Liu Siyi is suddenly so attentive to herself, she really doesn't mean to drink.

Alas, what's so good about that ice cube man, there is actually a girl who has a crush on him. Rong Ruo felt that whether it was Yan Hui, Chu Feng, or Jiang Cheng, any one of them was much stronger than Mu Beichen.

"Yes." Rong Ruo opened his hands and stretched his waist: "You are all the leader, there must be many famous sons who have broken through the threshold to pursue you." ”

Liu Siyi pursed her lips and smiled: "Miss Rong said she laughed." ”

Rong Ruo stood up: "I should go back." Saying that, he winked at Liu Siyi: "After all, now Mu Beichen has asked me to take care of the palace, and it is not good to stay outside for too long." ”

Liu Siyi didn't expect that King Jing was really so interested in this girl, and before he got married, he handed over the internal affairs of the palace to Rong Ruo.

Rong Ruo really didn't mean to show off, she just used Mu Beichen to find an excuse to leave, and Liu Siyi didn't really want to make friends with her, this tea was not delicious, so what would she do if she didn't leave.

Liu Siyi originally wanted to ask how Rong Ruo and King Jing met, but it was not easy to force him to stay, so he only smiled and said, "Otherwise, I will give you a ride." ”

Rong Ruo waved his hand back: "No need, I drank too much tea just now, and I just walked to digest it." ”

"Well, I'm looking forward to seeing Miss Rong again on the day of the safflower painting."

If Rong didn't take this sentence to heart, she wouldn't have participated in the safflower painting of Raushzi.

Going out of the teahouse, Rong Ruo confidently turned to the right, then to the left, and after three circles, Rong Ruo stood on the side of the road and sighed - sure enough, he lived up to expectations and got lost again!

Rong Ruo choked his wrist, what was he polite just now, just sit in Liu Siyi's sedan chair.

However, Rong Ruo remembered that on the way to King Jing's Mansion, there was a rather magnificent restaurant, called red or something, so she looked for it all the way.

As she walked, she smelled a medicinal fragrance, and the familiar smell was quite kind, and Rong Ruo looked up - the Seven Medicine Hall of the City.

Why is there a city seven medicine hall in the capital?

Just thinking like this, a clear voice sounded: "Miss Rong, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Rong Ruo put down his head and faced a smiling face, it was Hu Xiaoqi.

In the Chengqi Medicine Hall, the medicinal materials have just been spread out halfway, and there are still a lot of sundries piled up, which shows that Hu Xiaoqi was sorting out these things just now.

The fragrance of the medicine came from the backyard, and Rong Ruo rubbed his nose: "Ginseng, atractylodes, white poria, angelica, Chuanxiong, white peony, rehmannia rehmannia, boiled licorice, ......"

Fox Xiaoqi pursed his lips and smiled: "Miss Rong's nose is really good." ”

Rong Ruo scratched the tip of her nose and said with a dry smile: "It's okay, it's okay." Look at her: "Have you been weak lately?" ”

It was Hu Xiaoqi's turn to be embarrassed, and his face flushed and said: "These few special days, replenish blood and qi." ”

When Rong Ruo smelled the smell of medicine, she knew that it was estimated that good things had come to Hu Xiaoqi in the past few days, but Hu Xiaoqi said that she had a dog nose, so she deliberately embarrassed others.

Rong Ruo rummaged through the licorice on the counter: "Aren't you in Yun County?" ”

"I'm coming to my brother." When Hu Xiaoqi spoke, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, which was particularly pleasing, but his black eyes were sloppy, always with a little urgency: "This is not the store I just found, it hasn't been cleaned up yet, my brother really hates it, so he just abandoned me." ”

"I hope business is booming."

"Miss Rong, I heard my brother say that you are King Jing's fiancée?" Hu Xiaoqi stood in front of the counter, propped up his forehead, tilted his head slightly, and smiled.

Rong Ruo clapped his hands: "There is such a thing." ”

Hu Xiaoqi pouted: "That's a pity, I thought you could be my sister-in-law." ”

Rong Ruo felt that Hu Xiaoqi was a girl, looking kind, her stomach was a little dark, and she spoke quite openly.

When the medicine hall guy saw the guest, he was still known to the boss, and he diligently made a pot of tea.

Rong Ruo ate a lot of dim sum just now, especially a kind of glutinous rice cake, and couldn't stop at all, so his mouth was sticky at this time, and he picked up the tea and drank it.

Suddenly, Hu Xiaoqi beckoned mysteriously and leaned over: "Otherwise, you should choose my brother, I heard that the King of Jing is a little bad." ”

Rong Ruo blinked, not quite understanding: "What's wrong?" ”

Hu Xiaoqi stretched out two fingers and poked both cheeks respectively: "Everyone says that King Jing is more beautiful than a woman, the key is never close to women, and there is no one around him who is on the side of a woman, but he is very close to several merry boys." ”

If you think about it, the rumors are not right, even the housekeeper in Jingwangfu is a young girl.

Hu Xiaoqi glanced at it ambiguously: "According to my guess, King Jing should be as good as Longyang." ”

"Poof-" The tea in Rong Ruo's mouth squirted out directly, and he was choked, coughing non-stop.

Fox Xiaoqi jumped to the side and wiped his clothes with a handkerchief: "Don't be excited, even if King Jing has that hobby, we can't discriminate, true love does not distinguish between men and women, we must learn to respect." ”

After Rong Ruo finished coughing, he secretly rolled his eyes, raised his sleeve and wiped the tea stains on the corner of his mouth: "Respect, I definitely respect." ”

I didn't expect that the ancient woman was quite open-minded, but I don't know if Mu Beichen would directly kill Hu Xiaoqi when he heard this.

Hu Xiaoqi clenched his hands into fists, his two bright big eyes flashed with stars, inexplicably shining: "The picture of two beautiful men together is simply ......"

Rong Ruo twitched the corner of her mouth - no, there was a group of rotten girls so early.

"Miss Rong! Is King Jing really right? I heard that he goes in and out with the son of the Chu family every day, and the two of them are like one person, so they can't be a couple, right? ”

"Chu Feng?"

"You know what?" Fox Xiaoqi has a big mouth and a face full of gossip.

Rong Ruozheng said: "They are good brothers. ”

Hu Xiaoqi pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled ambiguously: "Good brother, I understand." ”

Rong Ruo silently stepped back to the door: "I'll go back and ask." ”

Hu Xiaoqi propped up the counter with both hands, and his head poked out: "Miss Rong, you can't beat the mandarin ducks, love is not guilty, you must fulfill them, you still come to be my sister-in-law......"

Rong Ruo stepped onto the street with one foot and exhaled heavily, Fox Xiaoqi was too terrible, and he would take a detour when he encountered the Seven Medicine Hall of the City in the future.

The backyard of King Jing's Mansion

As soon as Rong Ruo came back, he saw Banxia lying on the table, holding something in his hand.

"What's the fuss?" Rong Ruo raised his hand and knocked on Banxia's head.

Banxia was taken aback, and the things in his hands also fell.

"Miss, you didn't make a sound when you came back, it scared me to death."

Rong Ruo squinted: "I'm a ghost?" ”

Two fingers twisted the piece of paper on the table and read the words on it: "Invitation?" ”

Banxia nodded like pounding garlic: "Mmmmmm, Chu Sanye sent it over, saying what kind of competition it is, let Miss participate." ”

Rong Ruo raised his hand, and the invitation flew out with force: "I'm not interested." ”

"But I heard from Third Master Chu that all the ladies in the capital will participate in this competition." Banxia snapped his fingers, and his little face looked serious: "The competition is divided into two categories: talent and physical fitness, this talent is dancing and playing the piano, physical fitness seems to be riding a horse and archery, and hunting." ”

Rong Ruo sat down and glanced over: "You want to participate?" ”

Banxia flattened his mouth: "How can I have this qualification, besides, I don't know any talent." ”

Rong Ruo grabbed the apple on the plate and bit it: "Then you have a lot to say." ”

"Not really."

Banxia sat opposite Rong Ruo, and a face came directly in front of Rong Ruo, almost choking Rong Ruo with the apple in his mouth.

"Miss, if you take the leader, wouldn't it be very powerful at that time."
