"The plum garden is so lively today."

I heard a man's exclamation from afar.

As the footsteps got closer and louder, Li Mingyun and the others looked towards the door.

I saw a man in a gold-rimmed white python robe step into the door, his eyes were attentive, the bridge of his nose was straight, his thin lips were slightly raised, and he looked personable.

Then, a man and a woman followed him into the door, the woman was dressed in red, wearing a golden hairpin on her head, wearing a collar around her neck, her face was coated with fat powder to look fair, and the corners of her raised eyebrows were full of domineering. The man is in black clothes, with a jade crown and a faint anger in his eyebrows.

The leader was His Royal Highness King Ping, and the two people who followed him were the fifteenth princess and the king of Qinghe.

When everyone present saw them coming, they hurriedly saluted, and His Royal Highness King Ping waved his hand and asked them not to be polite.

"This king is uninvited, Madame won't blame, right?" His Royal Highness King Ping said with a smile to Mrs. Marquis of Changping.

He smiled, his eyebrows were handsome, and he had a romantic appearance, which caused some women to blush and turn their heads.

Mrs. Changping Hou curled her lips and smiled.

"What the hell is there?" She said, "Your Highness has come to this plum garden, and I am too late to be happy." ”

After she finished speaking, she motioned for her subordinates to add a few seats and invite them to take a seat.

His Royal Highness King Ping bowed his head to show respect.

The fifteenth princess was overjoyed when she saw Zhou Yunzhen sitting there, and was about to walk over, but her eyes glanced at the warbler Yanyan who was present, and her heart burned with anger.

"Madam, to invite so many young ladies here today, is it to enjoy the plum blossoms?" She said with a smile, but the ladies present could all feel a hint of coolness from it.

People with impure hearts are naturally weak-hearted, and some young ladies have been so frightened that they have lowered their heads.

Miss Ji sighed in her heart, and quietly took two steps back, wanting to hide herself, but Miss Hu next to her had already greeted her with a smile.

Before Mrs. Changping Hou could speak, Miss Hu had already answered first.

"Fifteenth princess, today's courtiers are invited by Mrs. Marquis of Changping to come here to enjoy the plum blossoms."

Among the women who came to the Plum Garden this time, they were all unfamiliar with the fifteenth princess, and she relied on the fact that she had followed the fifteenth princess with her friends before, and wanted to make a face for herself in front of everyone.

Look, only she can speak in front of the fifteenth princess!

She had a smile on her face, and her smug eyes glanced at the other women.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Changping Hou saw through her thoughts at a glance, but she didn't pierce it.

"I knew that the fifteenth princess was coming, and the courtiers should have sent someone to invite them." She said with a smile, a faint smile.

Xu Zhi also laughed.

"Fifteenth princess, you are here, this plum garden is called lively." He said.

The fifteenth princess still had a good face towards Xu Zhi, she looked at him and said, "Next time there is such a thing, you should call me earlier." ”

His eyes then looked at Zhou Yunzhen.

Zhou Yunzhen pursed her lips and avoided her gaze to glare at King Ping who was standing there.

"I don't know if the fifteenth princess wants to come, if I knew, I would have invited it a long time ago." Xu Wei smiled and made an exaggerated gesture, "There are fifteen princesses here, this plum garden is simply full of splendor!" ”

These words obviously pleased the fifteenth princess, and she raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Xu Shizi is used to coaxing people. ”

As a result, the atmosphere eased, and although Miss Hu was a little embarrassed to be ignored, she did not give up her determination to build a good relationship with the fifteenth princess.

She took two steps forward and walked up to the fifteenth princess, and said with a smile: "Fifteenth princess, it's really good that you are here, and Sister Xian'er and I are happy to see you." ”

She didn't know that Ji Yinxian and the fifteenth princess had such a relationship, so when she was currying favor with the fifteenth princess, she also said good things for Ji Yinxian by the way.

When Ji Yinxian heard this, his face immediately turned blue, and his heart was on fire.

The fifteenth princess sneered disdainfully.

She hates the name Xian'er, so she hates Ji Yinxian.

"What Sister Xian'er?" She asked, feigning ignorance.

Miss Hu's smile froze.

"It's Ji Yinxian, the niece of the crown princess." She said hurriedly, like ants crawling on her body, her heart was anxious.

The fifteenth princess snorted: "It's her, this princess thought it was a fairy in the sky." ”

She glanced at Ji Yinxian disdainfully, and saw that her face turned red, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.

The taunt was obvious and could be heard as soon as she heard it, so Miss Hu knew she had said the wrong thing.

Her face turned pale and she stammered and explained, "Fifteenth Princess, I'...... I didn't mean to ......"

"You?" The fifteenth princess stared at her and said, "Who are you?" ”

These words completely broke Miss Hu.

The fifteenth princess didn't know her yet, and knew that she was good friends with Ji Yinxian, and she didn't give her face at all.

She wanted to cry without tears, so she could only turn her hope to the king of Qinghe County on the side.

After all, the king of Qinghe County is the nominal child of the crown princess, so he should naturally help Ji Yinxian and Miss Hu.

He whispered to the fifteenth princess in a harmonious voice, "Fifteenth aunt, we are not here today, but you must not forget my father's words." ”

He finished glancing at the women present.

The fifteenth princess let Miss Hu go.

"In the future, if you want to play with Sister Xian'er, stay away from this princess!" She snorted in warning.

Where did Miss Hu dare to refute her, she responded in a loud voice.

She looked at the King of Qinghe, showing a grateful expression, and a trace of wonderful emotion grew in her heart, but she found that the King of Qinghe County was not looking at her.

It just so happened that the people had already arranged their seats, and Xu Shi asked King Ping and King Qinghe to take their seats on him first.

As for the fifteenth princess, Li Mingyun and Miss He consciously stepped back a position and let her sit next to Mrs. Marquis of Changping.

The fifteenth princess glanced at them lightly, and when she saw that they were quite knowledgeable, she withdrew her gaze.

Li Mingyun sat quietly, but there was a storm in his heart.

Today she actually met His Royal Highness King Ping, King Qinghe County and the fifteenth princess.

Why did they suddenly come to the Plum Garden?

What he said was just a whim, Li Mingyun didn't believe it.

Immediately, she remembered what Doctor Ouyang said, the prince intended to marry the Li Mansion in order to win over the Li Mansion......

She glanced at King Qinghe quietly, and then withdrew her gaze.

This action was undetectable, but the sharp-eyed Zhou Yunzhen noticed it.

He snorted twice, his brow slightly raised.

The maids came in from the door with their plates, and the table was suddenly full of delicacies.

Mrs. Changping Hou, as the host, smiled and asked everyone not to be restrained.

The corners of the fifteenth princess's lips rose in an arc.

"Madam, I heard that Mei Yuan was trying to paint before?" She said.

It's no secret either, and people outside know it when they talk about it. But the fifteenth princess knew so quickly, obviously she had been paying attention to the plum garden for a long time.

Xu Wei looked at Zhou Yunzhen helplessly and sympathetically.

It seems that the fifteenth princess sent someone to inquire about Zhou Yunzhen's news.

"Oh?" King Ping laughed when he heard this, and asked curiously, "Painting?" I'd love to see what everyone had drawn. ”

His voice was as warm as jade, and his eyes were full of smiles, like starlight.

The women covered their mouths and smiled.

Miss Hu originally wanted to answer, but she thought that it was not her who was in the limelight, so she stopped talking.

She continued to stare at the King of Qinghe, and finally got a glimpse of him.

King Qinghe looked at Miss Hu expressionlessly, and then retracted his gaze ruthlessly.

"Uncle Thirteen, it's not interesting to paint or anything." "I want to know," he said, "which lady came out on top." ”

He probably guessed what the Marquis of Changping meant by inviting the ladies to the Plum Garden today, so he specially followed King Ping and the fifteenth princess here.

Why!

Xu is worth a son who has done nothing can marry a young lady with a prominent family, but he is a county king, but he wants to marry the daughter of an ordinary family.

He has to mess with this matter!

was asked by the king of Qinghe County, and the women who had just painted immediately lowered their heads, and Miss Hu also blushed.

She clenched her fists with all her might, bitterness and resentment in her heart.

Lee Myung-yun!

It's all to blame on Li Mingyun!

If it weren't for Li Mingyun, the King of Qinghe County would have noticed her at this time!

Li Mingyun, who had been scolded countless times by Miss Hu in her heart, pursed her lips and looked at the king of Qinghe.

Xu Zhi happened to say at this time: "The king of the county, it was the third lady of the Li Mansion who won the competition. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of all the women were focused on Li Mingyun, and the king of Qinghe County also looked over with everyone's gaze.

Miss Li San?
