Chapter 17: The Feast of Flowers

A gorgeous carriage stopped at the back door of the courtyard, the slender hand of the woman covered her face with a veil stretched out, Qi Yu helped the woman get out of the car, and the two entered hand in hand.

"The great grace of the alliance leader, Su Su ......"

Seeing that Qian Susu was about to bow again, Ming Ruonan hurriedly glanced at Qi Yu: "Sister, don't worship me anymore, how about worshipping me directly?" ”

Qian Susu, who was just about to wipe away her tears, also chuckled out loud when she heard Ming Ruonan's words.

"Someone followed me on the way I just came, and I threw them away." When Qi Yu spoke, his eyes never took off Qian Susu's body, for fear that in the blink of an eye, the person would disappear.

Ming Ruonan led Qian Susu to sit on the chair: "Sister Su Su really attracted people's attention yesterday, and she must be more restrained in the future." ”

Qian Susu nodded, looked at Ming Ruonan with some concern, and said, "The alliance leader is going to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet tomorrow?" ”

"Sister, what do you have to advise? My sister is going to marry into my Ice Sect in the future, or follow my brothers and sisters to call me Young Master. ”

Qian Susu's face turned red when Ming Ruonan said it, and Qi Yu also cleared his throat to hide his shyness.

"Young master, many people in the capital have been talking about this hundred flowers banquet recently, Su Su heard some rumors on weekdays, and still wanted to remind the young master a few words."

In the East Palace, Linz rushed in in a hurry, and when he saw the crown prince sitting on the stone steps, Fang hurriedly stopped.

"Lost?"

Linz was shocked: "How does Your Highness know? ”

"I've heard that the people of the Cold Ice Sect are deaf and clear-eyed, so they must have discovered you." Yuan Jing looked at the military reports from his subordinates, "At least it proves that this Suqian girl is related to the Ice Sect." ”

"Do you want to send someone to the other courtyard to keep an eye on?"

Yuan Jing smiled and tapped Lintz's head with a pen: "I'm afraid that as soon as you arrive at Suzaku Street, the people in the other courtyard will notice you." By the way, has this Su Qian's background been found? ”

Lintz shook his head: "I asked some people, but I only said that half a year ago, this Suqian girl suddenly hung a sign in Lianxiang Building, and I don't know where she came from or where she lives." Lintz helped Yuan Jing to study ink, and seeing that His Highness didn't speak, he only approved a line of words on the secret report, and was a little worried, "Your Highness, do we need to prepare for tomorrow's Hundred Flowers Banquet in advance?" ”

Yuan Jing raised the corners of his mouth and stuffed the secret report into the bamboo tube: "No need, I want to see if this Ming Ruonan is as rumored, three heads and six arms can reach the sky." ”

On the fifth watch of this day, Ming Ruonan was picked up, and Ma Tuan and Guozi were busy helping her wash and put on makeup, for fear that there would be the slightest omission. Qian Susu came early and personally helped choose clothes and dress up.

"Sister Susu, I told An'er yesterday, you can take some time to go to him. This Yurong Pill hurts your body very much, not to mention that you have eaten five pills, and you need to recuperate carefully. ”

Qian Susu helplessly helped Ming Ruonan order Huadian: "The young master is still worried about Su Su at this time? If you want to be in the palace for a whole day, you should think more about how to maintain your demeanor. ”

Qian Susu successfully put Ming Ruonan into the trough with one sentence, only to see that Ming Shao was helpless and let everyone fiddle with it, until he got into the carriage and staggered into the palace gate, still in a trance.

"Young master, look!" The fruit pointed out the car window excitedly, "It's so big!" It's bigger than our Ice Pie! ”

The coachman was sent by the palace, and he received many dignitaries and nobles, and when he heard the sigh of the fruit, he wondered that he had never seen the world from this southwest county, and he couldn't help but look down on it a little.

Ming Ruonan casually glanced out the window, and said disdainfully: "Big is big, but this glazed tile and jade brick are far worse than those made in our southwest, which is really shabby." ”

Shabby...... The coachman drove the nobles for more than ten years, and for the first time he heard someone put these two words on the palace......

After the coachman who doubted his life arrived, he couldn't help but risk the taboo to look at Ming Ruonan several times.

"Hemp ball." Ming Ruonan shouted.

Ma Tuan took out some broken silver and stuffed it to the coachman, and the coachman looked at Ming Ruonan gratefully, and said in his heart how kind this future princess looks, it is not the same as the rumors!

Ming Ruonan, who was different from the rumors, went to a palace under the guidance of the eunuch.

"You are the future daughter-in-law of the eighth child?" Some arrogant voices sounded behind Ming Ruonan.

She followed the sound and looked back, and found a woman dressed in fine clothes, rather smart, looking about her own age, and, like herself, with her hair untied.

"Say hello to the Seventh Princess."

The visitor was obviously stunned, but still pretended to be calm and said, "How do you know it's me?" ”

Ming Ruonan said in his heart: The entire Daxuan is not married at this age, except for me, you are you.

"I heard that the Seventh Princess is extraordinary, but when I see it today, it is really extraordinary."

"Hmph, you have vision!"

Ming Ruonan recalled yesterday's explanation to himself by Qian Susu: "Seventh princess Yuanning, the emperor loves her very much, and chose her in-law for a long time, and chose the son of the Marquis of Dingyuan, but the Marquis of Dingyuan died in battle five years ago, and the three-year period of filial piety of the little marquis is coming, but he is sick again, and he will not be able to do it in less than a year." The marriage of the seven princesses has been full of twists and turns, and she has not yet married. So she has a strange temper, she is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and people are afraid of her. ”

At this moment, Ming Ruonan looked at Yuan Ning, who was looking at her with her nostrils, and set a character for her in her heart: paper tiger.

"What's your name?"

Although Ming Ruonan did not have any expression behind the veil, his tone was humble enough: "Back to Your Highness, the people's daughter Ming Ruonan." ”

"Oh." Yuan Ning was probably satisfied with Ming Ruonan's words just now, so he didn't make things difficult for her anymore, and just took care of himself.

The leading eunuch just received Ming Ruonan's silver, and he was very diligent at this time.

"Miss Ming, please, the ladies are all in Yunjin Pavilion, and after the tea party, all the nobles will gather in the Daqing Hall to perform a marriage ceremony for you and the prince."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Ming Ruonan saluted the eunuch, and a bunch of cats and dogs fought in his heart, didn't he have lunch first? This banquet has to be hungry until the night?

In the Qionghua Pavilion, which is far away from the Yunjin Pavilion, the most prominent men in the whole capital gather here, some are talking about the recent situation, some are showing off their new Mobao, and more are secretly talking about today's protagonist - the crown princess.

Ruiwang Yuanba held the wine jug and bumped the prince's shoulder, so that the prince almost collapsed, and there was no etiquette for the prince at all. It's just that everyone has long been accustomed to the prince's nest, and no one intends to point out these inappropriateness.

"Isn't the eighth in a hurry to see his daughter-in-law?"

"Fifth brother, you haven't had a banquet yet, so you can't ...... Do not drink alcohol. Prince Yuanjing timidly avoided Yuanba's eyes.

"That's right, isn't Your Highness in a hurry?" Ask if there is something good.

"Hmph, what's the worry about marrying an ugly monster?" The son of Wei Guogong has always been open-mouthed, and everyone is in their hearts: no matter how ugly it is, it is not good to say it in front of the prince......

"It's okay, I'll see you later." Prince Yuanjing was stared at by a bunch of eyes, as if he was a little nervous, and hurriedly ate the pastries on his table, for fear that the people next to him would ask again.

But this still can't stop the enthusiasm of his brothers to ridicule.

"Eighth brother, just put that ugly monster at home, and the third brother will take you to Lianxianglou."

"Third brother, why didn't you take me?" Qi Wang Yuanfang was aggrieved and pulled Yuan Lu's clothes.

Yuan Jing interjected awkwardly: "That land of fireworks, brothers must not go again......"

All the princes brushed their eyes on Yuan Jing, and Yuan Jing hurriedly continued to eat pastries, pretending not to say anything.

Kang Wang Yuansi looked at Yuan Jing's cowardly appearance, and despised it to the core, but he still teased with a smile on his face: "Big brother gave you a pair of armor as a wedding gift, and if this ugly monster does something in the future, you can also save your life." ”

All the princes were holding their stomachs and laughing, but they were all thinking in their hearts, your magic is gone, protect yourself first!

"Hahaha, that fifth brother will give you a shield!"

"The third brother will give you a concubine's room."

"Third brother, why didn't you send me?" King Qi was aggrieved again.

Qin Xiaohou Ye whispered to the people on the side: "This ugly monster from the countryside, I don't know if there are any jokes." ”

"What's the hurry, after a while, the tea party, a tent, what joke you can't see?"

Everyone laughed, and at this time, Ming Ruonan was already sitting in front of the low table and eating pastries calmly.
