Chapter 321: Hiding a knife in a smile

On March 3, the Shangsi Festival, since the beginning of the Taizu of this dynasty, has attached great importance to the day of the Shangsi Festival. Following the regulations of the previous dynasty, the third day of March not only set up a banquet in Qujiangchi, allowing officials of all sizes to bring their female dependents to attend, but also set the rules for the royal family to hold sacrifices.

On this day, in addition to the officials and nobles who went to the banquet to participate in the repair and prayer, the people of Chang'an also gathered on the side of the Qujiang Pond for a spring outing, and watched the sacrifices by the Qujiang Pond in order to share the blessings, remove the disease, drive away evil spirits and avoid monsters.

Of course, more importantly, many families will take this opportunity to choose a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law in Shangsi. At this time, every lady will take the opportunity to show her talents.

Because he wanted to preside over the repair, Huan Yi got up a few minutes earlier than usual, and rushed to the water pavilion prepared earlier.

Today, Huan Yi is dressed up in a particularly dignified and bright manner, and Mama Xu can't help but say when she sees Huan Yi dressed like this: "Your Highness, you look like this...... It's like when your mother, Empress Taimu, was young."

Huan Yi's eyes were slightly gloomy, and there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes. Raise your hand and press the corner of your eyes with a handkerchief and say softly: "Call Wei Tanhua later"

"Yes, slave and maid obey"

After a stick of incense, Huan Yi set off to the place of sacrifice, carried out the sacrificial ceremony step by step according to the regulations, and finally took over the sacrificial text from the hands of Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and read it out loudly, and the sacrifice to heaven and earth was over.

At this time, Zi Huan Yi could not leave, and sat upright on the main seat, the royal family wives and the wives of the royal family sat in order according to their ranks. Wen Xingjian's wife, Xue, sat in the second place on her right hand, but she was restless at the moment.

I received news from the Yu family last night, saying that the eldest princess Huan Yi had put Yu Qingshu into a separate garden and raised him in captivity. The lady in the second room of the Yu family cried so much that it was dark, and even made the family restless.

Wen Xingjian was also troubled by the Yu family's quarrel, so he had to ask her to inquire about Huan Yi's meaning if she could. After all, Yu Qingshu's father also served in Beijing, and it was really inappropriate for His Highness to act like this.

As for the other women, they have also dealt with Huan Yi more or less, and they know that Huan Yi is not a good person to get along with. At this time, Zihuan Yi didn't speak, and everyone had to sit upright in front of the desk and didn't dare to speak.

After a long time, Huan Yi left and told everyone not to disperse separately. He led Mama Xu and a group of palace maids into the hospital to enjoy the flowers. After walking for a while, he met Mrs. Xue and other noblewomen who were good friends with the Wen family, including the Yu family's wife, the Lu family

"Courtiers meet His Highness"

Huan Yi raised his hand and motioned for everyone to get up, and glanced at Mrs. Xue with a little meaning, and his gaze fell on the Lu family.

"Your Highness, please let him go, and the courtiers should discipline him well."

Mama Xu's face changed when she heard this, and she looked at Lu Shi with a very displeased look. Mrs. Rao is Xue couldn't help but be annoyed when she heard Lu's words. The Lu family is so confused, how can Huan Yi's identity allow her to talk like this.

"Heh, it's really uncontrollable"

Leaving such a sentence, Huan Yi turned around and walked away without mercy.

Mrs. Xue glanced at the Lu family and lightly instructed the maid beside her, "Find someone to send Mrs. Lu back."

At this time, the noble ladies of various families in another place in the garden were chatting together, including Wei Tanhua, the eldest daughter of the Wei family. Huan Yi stood in the water pavilion in the distance and looked at this place, and couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Wei Tanhua sitting quietly in one place.

"Mama Xu, do you say that these little girls have been so scheming since they were children?"

Mama Xu didn't quite understand what Huan Yi meant, so she followed Huan Yi's gaze and landed on a purple-clothed girl.

"Don't you know that my sister will enter the Hongwen Pavilion to study tomorrow, or did His Highness order it himself?"

"Second sister! Your Highness, how can we discuss?"

When Wei Tanhua heard this, he couldn't help but open his mouth to reprimand Wei Minghua. She didn't know why she had won the favor of His Highness, but she knew that His Highness was not something they could talk about.

Although the other nobles were jealous, they still had a smile on their faces, and they congratulated Wei Tanhua a few words.

When Mama Xu saw this scene, she couldn't help but praise secretly. This lady of the Wei family is really polite.

"Let's go, let's go and see"

When the nobles saw Huan Yi moving towards him surrounded by a group of palace maids, they hurriedly dressed and saluted.

Huan Yi raised his hand to signal everyone to get up, his eyes swept over the corners of the nobles' lips and said with a light smile: "What were you talking about just now?" It's such a joy to say."

The nobles present looked at each other, but no one dared to answer. In the end, it was Wei Tanhua who walked out, saluted respectfully and said softly: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a joke between sisters." It made His Highness smile."

Huan Yi's eyes fixed on Wei Tanhua's face, and he chuckled and didn't answer.

"Your Highness, we just said that my sister has won the favor of His Royal Highness because of her outstanding literary talent," Wei Chaohua took a step past Wei Tanhua and said with a smile, and seeing Huan Yi's expression, he couldn't help but let go of his courage and continued: "The courtier has an idea to make my sister serve the public."

"You say"

"Since there are so many noble ladies in the garden today, and today is the Shangsi Festival, the little girl thinks that we might as well follow the method of the winding water flow when the Lanting was repaired in the first Jin Dynasty, what do you think, Your Highness?"

Probably smoked by the incense that was kneaded together, Huan Yi's whole person changed his posture a little lazily, leaned on the chair and put one hand on his forehead and said warmly: "Just according to your opinion." Mama Xu sent someone to pass the decree and prepare"

The people sent by Mama Xu were naturally efficient, and after a while, they gathered the ladies and nobles in the garden. After Huan Yi glanced at everyone, he said in a deep voice: "Even because of the fact that Mrs. Wei entered the Hongwen Pavilion, it is better to set up a leader like this." If any of you can win the first prize, you can enter the Hongwen Pavilion with Mrs. Wei tomorrow."

Before the words fell, everyone present was overjoyed.

Da Wei attaches equal importance to both civil and military affairs, especially in academics. It is because both men and women are treated equally, and when they reach a certain age, they must enter the clan school or the family study. But whether it is a family study or a family study, it can never be compared with the Hongwen Pavilion, and those who can enter the Hongwen Pavilion to study are basically deeply favored by the emperor, and there are many famous Confucians in addition to the Taifu service. It is the glory of the Great Wei family to be able to enter the Hongwen Hall to practice.

Mama Xu recounted the regulations. There will be waiters thrown into the water from the upstream, and whoever stops in front of them will write a poem or play a piece of music.

There is a meandering stream on the side of the pavilion, and when the hibiscus garden was built, it led living water into the garden, and the pavilion is also one of them. The palace people who had been instructed by Mama Xu were already waiting in the upper class not far away, and when they saw Mama Xu nodding, they put the wine buds into the water and watched it go down the water.

Seeing the wine coming down the water, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath. Jiu Yu came along the stream, turned around a few times in front of Huan Yi, and stopped in front of Wei Chaohua.

Wei Chaohua slanted his eyes with a smug look on his face, and Wei Tanhua said loudly: "The little girl is willing to dedicate a song for His Highness."

Huan Yi agreed. After a while, an attendant took the pipa, Wei Chaohua took the pipa, and sang with the song, the singing was particularly exciting, which caused several nobles to look sideways.

Huan Yi looked at the nobles on the field, and couldn't help but think of himself when he first arrived in Luoyang when he was young. This is also the case, and other nobles tried piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, but her mother died in Luoyang, helpless, although she had the status of a princess, those people did not dare to do anything to her in the open, but secretly used a lot of means to embarrass her. But now is different from the past, she has changed from acting to watching plays, watching them play their own tricks.

And in another part of the garden, Pei Chongxi looked at it from a distance, and Huan Yi, who was lazily leaning on the chair, chuckled: "She has leisure."

Xu Fuyang, who was talking to Pei Chongxi, said unexplainedly: "Lord, do you have a fancy for which noble girl?"

"Qianzhi, look at who the prince is looking at" The one who answered the call was Gao Jian, the servant of the ministry.

Xu Fuyang followed Pei Chongxi's gaze when he heard this, and was stunned when he saw Huan Yi. After realizing that he had lost his words, he hurriedly apologized to Pei Chongxi.

"No problem. Cui and Lu have already left?" Bae Chongxi retracted his gaze and asked.
