"Concubine Zhang, what do you want to say?" Jiang Sumo asked.

"It's nothing, the concubine is praising the princess, the princess knows His Royal Highness's love for Jiang Wu's girl, regardless of her own emotions, to please His Highness, even this Tangram Festival banquet took the initiative to take that girl, isn't she good at doing things, the princess's big mind is really incomparable to others." Zhang Ruo is yin and yang.

"Please? Do you think this princess is currying favor with Her Highness? ”

Zhang Ruo raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it?" ”

"What is Concubine Zhang herself, what do you think of others, why, on weekdays, Concubine Zhang tries hard to please His Royal Highness, but she doesn't get good, but she came to talk to this princess?"

"Princess, you!" Zhang Ruo choked!

Jiang Sumo has always disliked Zhang Ruo's appearance of playing right and wrong in front of her all the time, and she felt a little happy to see her deflated.

Zhang Ruo eased his emotions, and the corners of his lips sneered, "The concubine didn't please His Highness, but His Highness's thoughts were given to Jiang Wu's girl, what did the princess get?" The princess tried her best, but she was afraid that she would make a wedding dress for her in the future, so you are the princess who was overtaken by a girl, is it sad. ”

Jiang Sumo's eyelashes twitched, and after a while, he said with a smile: "Concubine Zhang has this leisure to care about this princess, it is better to care about herself, how can she make His Royal Highness like it more, otherwise, Concubine Zhang doesn't know how long she will be alone in Qixia Garden." ”

Zhang Ruo's face changed suddenly, and he was poked in the sore spot by Jiang Sumo.

From the time she entered the palace, everyone in the palace knew that Yun Rongjue had never stepped into her Qixia Garden, and after she was in the palace for a long time, Yun Rongjue stayed in Qixia Garden for a day, but it was just that day, and then there was no more.

"Princess......

"The princess is still busy with the Qiqiao Festival banquet, so I won't talk to Concubine Zhang more." After Jiang Sumo finished speaking, he turned around and left, not giving Zhang Ruo half a chance to insert another needle.

The Tangram feast is here in a blink of an eye. On this day, Jiang Wu changed into the peach-colored dress that Jiang Sumo prepared for her, with a tassel inserted in her green silk bun for a short time, and her little face with a little pink was cute and charming.

Jiang Sumo looked at Jiang Wu, who was so outstanding with only a little powder, pursed his lips and smiled, "In the end, he is young and smart, and he looks good just a little bit of dressing up." ”

"Slave and concubine, thank the princess."

Jiang Sumo smiled, didn't say anything, and Fu Dong walked in and informed the two that the time had come.

Jiang Wu accompanied Jiang Sumo into the palace together.

The Tangram Festival banquet was organized by Chu Yin's instructions, and it was naturally lively. The girls who had not yet left the cabinet in the official family all came to participate.

Jiang Wu followed Jiang Sumo's side obediently, not daring to have a trace of slackness and transgression.

Chu Yin and Jiang Sumo controlled the atmosphere of the banquet, these were all official women, they were proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and all of them were out of place.

In this Tangram feast, each of them is not stingy to show their talents.

Jiang Sumo watched and occasionally whispered a few words to Jiang Wu.

"The Empress Dowager, where are you going?" Jiang Sumo saw Chu Yin get up and asked.

Chu Yin's face was faintly emotional, "Come when the mourning family goes," she looked at the girl of the Sun family who was performing, and smiled on her face, "Miss Sun strokes the piano very well, the mourning family likes it very much, continue." ”

Miss Sun Jia's heart was happy when she heard Chu Yin's praise, and she worked harder to play the qin.

Chu Yin left the festival banquet hall, just as Xiao Qijin walked over, her face was full of smiles, "Jin'er." ”

"The Empress Dowager summoned Weichen to come, I don't know what is the matter?" Xiao Qijin asked.

Chu Yin pulled Xiao Qijin closer and motioned Xiao Qijin to look towards the festival banquet, "Jin'er, these are all famous and noble girls, it is the eldest lady of the Sun family who is playing the piano, and the second miss of the Sun family is dancing." ”

Xiao Qijin was not interested, "The Empress Dowager, if you have something to say, it is." ”

Chu Yin sighed lightly and looked at Xiao Qijin with soft eyes, "Jin'er, you are not married, the mourning family is thinking, you are old, our mother and son are reunited again, everything is fine, and it is time for you to have a stable home." ”

Xiao Qijin's sword eyebrows trembled slightly, and he understood, "The Empress Dowager is looking for relatives for Weichen." ”

"Today's Qiqiao Festival, this festival banquet specially organized by the mourning family, this feast is all famous girls, to have good looks, to be talented and talented, you look at it, if you have a favorite, and tell the mourning family, the mourning family will be your master." Chu Yin said.

Xiao Qijin looked at the famous ladies who were like different flowers in the garden, and shook her head with a chuckle.

After the two girls of the Sun family were shown, the girls of the Wang family started to write poems, and after the poems, the girls of the Chen family painted on the spot, outlining a summer flower scene full of spring in the garden.

Jiang Sumo looked at the excitement in front of him and chuckled, "This qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, everyone is superior, in addition to the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, women must also be able to embroider, this embroidery is not easy, I don't know who is good at embroidery?" ”

Jiang Sumo spoke, and many nobles stood up and ordered the slaves and maids to take needles and threads on the spot, and some of them showed off the scarves they had embroidered themselves.

"Princess Regent, this Shen girl's embroidery is famous, you see."

The girl of the Shen family lowered her eyes, and there was a gentle and gentle smile on her face, "Sister Sun is too praised, I am a small skill of carving insects, which is incomparable." ”

"Eh, why is Sister Shen so modest, we all know your embroidery."

Jiang Sumo looked at the embroidery of the girl of the Shen family, smiled and nodded, "Very good, very good, speaking of this embroidery, there is such a person by the side of this princess, and there is such a skillful hand." ”

"Princess, who is it? Let's open our eyes, too. ”

Jiang Sumo turned his head and looked at Jiang Wu beside him, Jiang Wu was caught off guard and looked at Jiang Sumo's eyes, stunned, and hurriedly said, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Jiang Su Mo said in a low voice: "Today is the Qiqiao Festival, you are also a festival, just show your hand, I have seen your embroidery, but it is no worse than this Shen family girl, I will bring you here today, you have to fight for some face for our regent palace." ”

"But, Xiao Wu is a slave, and she doesn't dare to compare with all the girls and ladies." Jiang Wu said.

"You brought it by this princess, and they won't say anything, besides, you are the closest confidant of Your Highness, and they won't say anything."

Jiang Sumo insisted, and Jiang Wu couldn't refuse.

"This girl in my palace is not only literary, but the most outstanding embroiderer is me, and I also admire her very much, and let her show it today." Jiang Sumo pulled Jiang Wu to stand up.

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and these famous ladies looked at each other, occasionally whispering and discussing.

"Isn't this a maid?"

"That's right, no matter how good this maid's embroidery is, how can she compare with us."

"That's right, where do these maids deserve to be compared with us, what does this princess regent think."

"Eh, I heard that this girl's name is ...... is called Jiang Wu, and the regent loves her very much. ”

"No matter how pampered you are, you're just a girl, and you can't be the same as your master?"

"Since the princess said so, let the girl show it, I am very interested in this embroidery, and I would like to see it." The girl of the Shen family spoke.

Although everyone had some discussions, considering Jiang Sumo's identity, they could only echo the voice.

The palace man took the embroidered needle and thread, Jiang Wu looked at the empty white cloth towel, his eyes rolled, and then slowly embroidered on it.

As Jiang Wu embroidered the pattern little by little, the interest of the people around him became higher and higher, and many of them stepped forward and looked.

"She's Su embroidery."

"Yes, this Suzhou embroidery is not easy, you see, she still has the embroidery method of saving gold and silver double needles."

"It's a bit of a skill."

Not far away, Chu Yin looked at this scene, his eyebrows furrowed and he floated unhappily, this Tangram Festival banquet, what is the point of this cheap maid! Jiang Sumo actually pushed her out, it's ridiculous!

"Nonsense! This is a seven-trick festival banquet for famous girls, what is the matter with her! The princess regent is too nonsense and doesn't know the severity! Chu Yin said and wanted to step forward and stop it.

Xiao Qijin stopped her, "The Empress Dowager, let's take a look and talk about it, and Weichen thinks that this is nothing, why should the Empress Dowager be so angry." ”

"It's nothing? The people attending the festival banquet today are all famous and noble, she is just a cheap maid, and she is also worthy of being on the stage? Chu Yin was displeased.

Xiao Qijin chuckled, "This banquet is a lively picture, and the Tangram Festival is the festival of these girls who have not been out of the cabinet, and the little girl is also not out of the cabinet, according to Weichen, it is very suitable, the Queen Mother, let's take a look and see how she embroiders." ”

"Jin'er!" Chu Yin was helpless, but Xiao Qijin stopped her, and she didn't want to argue with him, so she could only compromise.

A small square towel in Jiang Wu's hand was quickly embroidered.

On the towel, she embroidered a style of summer flowers blooming and double butterflies.

"Let's take a look." Jiang Sumo said.

Jiang Wu's embroidered handkerchief was passed to each other in the hands of several girls, and the girls who had objections at first turned into admiration after seeing the patterns embroidered by Jiang Wu.

The girl of the Shen family took a look at it, her red lips opened slightly, and her surprise was revealed in her eyes, "It's really an excellent embroidery, it's not easy to embroider Su embroidery and save gold and silver double needles." "New Town

The palace maid presented the handkerchief to Jiang Sumo, Jiang Sumo looked at it, and there was a satisfied smile on his face, "It's really excellent, Jiang Wu, you didn't embarrass this princess." ”

Jiang Wu owed, "The princess is too praised, the slave should be." ”

Jiang Wu attracted attention and praise among the nobles with her embroidery, and the girl of the Shen family approached and asked with a smile: "I just heard from the princess, you also have some ink, what books have you read?" ”

Jiang Wu lowered his eyes and answered truthfully.

"Eh, this girl not only knows how to embroider, but also knows words and poetry, you can be so good at embroidery, think about it, poetry is not bad." Miss Sun leaned closer and said.

"If you don't mind, I'll start up, how about we say the last two sentences?" The girl of the Shen family was interested.

"Slaves and maids only know a little, not as good as the young ladies." Jiang Wu said.

"Don't be modest, the princess is impressed with you, don't be stingy, I'm happy today anyway." Miss Sun said.

"Jiang Wu, since the two young ladies said so, you try to look at the right one, even if it's not right, it doesn't matter." Jiang Sumo said.

Jiang Wu was once again driven to the shelves, and exchanged a few lines of poetry with the girl of the Sun family and the Shen family.

Her poems were all learned from her master in the school, and some of them were taught to her by Yun Rongjue, she didn't have much confidence in poetry and songs, she just relied on her feelings.

But I don't want to, I hit it crookedly.

Jiang Wu even got his poems right and decent, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Hmph." Chu Yin, who was watching this scene, became more and more gloomy.

Xiao Qijin had very different reactions and expressions, looking at the little girl so capable, he had a little more appreciation in his eyes.

"The Empress Dowager, the Weichen who should be seen has seen it, and the Weichen will retire first."

Chu Yin grabbed Xiao Qijin and left the displeasure in his mind behind, "Jin'er, among these girls, do you have a fancy?" She asked.

"The Empress Dowager Lao has bothered, but Weichen has no plans to marry yet." Xiao Qijin said.

Chu Yin sighed and said: "Jin'er, your age has arrived, even if you don't have a plan now, after this selection, it's almost the same, those girls are good, the girls of the Wang family are good, the girls of the Chen family can sketch paintings, and the girls of the Sun family are very good at playing the qin, you see, which one you think is good, the mourning family will call the shots for you, and it is good for you to cultivate feelings first." ”

"The girls are naturally excellent, but the Empress Dowager, Weichen has no other thoughts about them."

Chu Yin blinked, "Then, these few don't like it, what about those," she stretched out her finger and pointed, "The girl of the Jiang family, the girl of the Han family...... Jin'er, there are so many people, there should always be something that you think fits your eyes. ”

Xiao Qijin raised her eyebrows slightly, "The Empress Dowager has to choose one of the ministers." ”

"Jin'er."

Xiao Qijin looked forward and smiled, "That girl is not bad, it fits Weichen's eyes." He gestured forward.

Chu Yin looked along the place Xiao Qijin pointed, and after seeing it clearly, her face suddenly fell!

It's Jiang Wu's girl!

"Jin'er! Hugh is going to mess around! ”

"The Empress Dowager asked Wechen to choose the one that fits the eye, and Wechen really thinks that the girl fits the eye, and the girl's poetry is not bad, the embroidery is excellent, very good, very good."

"She is a cheap maid, and today she is just showing off according to the princess regent, and no one can choose her if Jin'er chooses her!" Chu Yin said coldly.

Xiao Qijin pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows, "Then the other Weichen really don't have a good eye, the Empress Dowager's kindness Weichen understands, and Weichen still has some official affairs to deal with, so he will retire first." He bowed to Chu Yin and left.

No matter how Chu Yin called him, he didn't turn around and pay attention.

"This kid!"

"Empress Dowager, you dissipate your anger, I think Lord Xiao didn't mean to make you angry, Lord Xiao's words, I'm afraid it was just a casual remark, don't take it too seriously, Lord Xiao won't really take a fancy to Jiang Wu's girl." Caitang persuaded him.

Chu Yinwang looked at Xi Mian and looked at Jiang Wu, the annoyance in his eyes was particularly obvious, "What is Jin'er's identity, what is her identity, how can she be worthy!" Even if Jin'er is really interested in her, the mourning family will never allow it! ”

The feast lasted for most of the day before it dispersed.

"The Empress Dowager, the concubine is retired." Jiang Sumo was courteous to Chu Yin.

Chu Yin looked at it, and let out a cold snort between his noses, "Princess, the mourning family trusts you, so they handed over the matter of the festival banquet to you, but it turned out that you were good, and you made such a play, so that this lowly girl was in the limelight!" ”

For Chu Yin's blame, Jiang Sumo has been mentally prepared, "The Empress Dowager forgives her sins, and the concubine is thoughtful, but this Tangram Festival is originally a festival for the girls who have not been out of the pavilion, and it just so happens that this girl will be able to embroider poetry, and the concubine wants to make this feast more lively, so that she can show it, although there are thoughtful things, but, the big guys just now are happy, isn't it?" ”

"Is it just joy, is it just joy?"

Chu Yin had the heart to reprimand, Jiang Sumo listened, and only occasionally had a few slight rebuttals. After Chu Yin finished reprimanding, she nodded in response and bowed before leaving.

Jiang Wu followed Jiang Sumo away, looking at her with some concern.

Jiang Sumo turned his head sideways, saw the worry on Jiang Wu's face, and smiled slightly, "I'm fine, don't worry, we don't know the temper of the Empress Dowager, in short, we will have fun with today's feast." ”

"Princess Xie."

The two returned to the palace.

"Your Highness."

"Your Highness."

"I'm back." Yun Rongjue's gaze only swept over Jiang Sumo's face, and fell on Jiang Wu's little face for a long time.

"Everything went well at today's festival banquet, and Jiang Wu was also very happy." Jiang Sumo said.

Yun Rongjue looked at Jiang Sumo, "The princess has also worked hard today, let's rest early." ”

Jiang Sumo's eyes rolled, and she understood, she owed, "The concubine will go back to the room first." ”

Jiang Wu was led back to the main courtyard by Yun Rongjue.

Yun Rongjue asked her something about the festival banquet today, and she smiled and said to him.

Yun Rongjue's thin lips always hooked a light smile, handed a plum to her lips, she opened her mouth to bite it, and ate it.

"Most of my sister's poems follow Nalan Xingde, and my sister likes his words?"

Jiang Wu nodded.

"His poems are good, my sister's favorite one?" He asked.

Jiang Wu blinked, and kept eating dried apricots with his small mouth, "Painting Tang Chun." ”

"Painting Tang Chun?" Yun Rongjue raised his eyebrows.

"Well, his sentence, a couple for a lifetime, it's so good." Jiang Wu thought about it and couldn't help but sigh.

Yun Rongjue looked at the little girl, "It's good to have a couple for a lifetime." ”

"But although it is good, it is not easy to do it." Jiang Wu sighed.

How many lovers in this world can do this? Jiang Wu thought.

Yun Rongjue looked at the little girl fixedly, silent for a long time.

The night breeze was blowing softly outside, and the surroundings were quiet and peaceful.

……

On the second day after the Qiqiao Festival, there was a wave of discussion among the princes and nobles.

These discussions all come from Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu didn't know that although this Tangram Festival was a festival for the girls who had not left the pavilion, it was also related to these princes and nobles.

Although the Tangram Festival banquet is invited to the girls who have not been out of the cabinet, the girls show their talents, but in addition, the girls' actions at the festival banquet are also concerned, who is outstanding in poetry, who is outstanding in piano, who is outstanding in chess, or who is the most eye-catching, these, will then fall into the ears of the princes and nobles, and the unmarried men will also have admiration because of these, if the two parties wish each other, it is to promote a marriage.

Therefore, on that day, those girls who were not out of the cabinet would work so hard, in order to have a resounding reputation.

Unexpectedly, this resounding reputation fell on Jiang Wu's head.

This is something that no one expected.
