Chapter Seventy-Five: The Feast of Flowers
Zhishu didn't believe that she would have such a good heart, but at this time she could only listen to Chengge, and when she heard the answer she wanted, Zhishu left quickly, for fear that Chengge would regret it.
Cheng Ge looked at her back as she left in a hurry and shook her head.
knew that because she had made a big mistake before, her funeral was not carried out in accordance with the regulations of the crown princess, but was quietly buried in the imperial tomb in accordance with the regulations of the side concubine, so many people only knew that the crown princess had passed away after realizing it.
But even if she goes to the Hundred Flowers Banquet, no one will talk to her, everyone can see that the princess's family has been rejected by Qin Cao, who will get into trouble? But Zhishu didn't think of this layer at all.
β¦β¦
Feast of Flowers.
When Cheng Ge arrived, there were already a lot of ladies and ladies present, and the unmarried ladies were dressed up like flowers and jade, just like the flowers in the imperial garden. But there was one person who was different from the others, sitting there in a plain white dress and eating fruit with a big grin, and the lady next to her hated her and picked her off, but she ignored it and still went her own way.
"Ziling." Cheng Ge came up to greet her, she quickly stood up, and introduced to the lady next to her excitedly, "Mother, this is my good friend Cheng Ge, Princess of Chang'an." The theater you went to some time ago was opened by her, and the script was also written by her. β
Zhang Ziling looked like he was introducing his idol, jumping up and down excitedly.
Mrs. Zhang saluted Cheng Ge respectfully, although she was straightforward, but in the end, she was everyone's daughter, and the rules and etiquette were just right. Mrs. Zhang looked at Cheng Ge's gentle face, and said softly, "The little girl doesn't understand the rules, and she has caused trouble for the princess." β
"Don't bother, Concubine Ben and Ziling are good friends, and they don't care about those red tape." Cheng Ge also smiled, this Mrs. Zhang and her mother have two personalities, but I don't know how the two became good friends, "I heard that Mrs. and my mother are good friends, since we have a deep friendship, Mrs. doesn't have to be formal, just treat me as her own child." β
Mrs. Zhang looked at her lovingly, nodded with satisfaction, and thought that if there is a mother, there must be a daughter, and the daughter of her good friend will naturally not be bad.
A few people exchanged pleasantries, and waited until the Hundred Flowers Banquet officially began.
"The queen is hereβ" As the crowd spoke, they heard a eunuch shouting and saluting. The queen mother was followed by the concubine Ming, who had just ascended the throne, and looking at her appearance, everyone knew the current wind direction.
"You don't have to be formal, get up." The queen sat in the first place dignifiedly, today she was wearing a bright red palace dress, and her complexion was very ruddy, "A hundred flowers banquet is held every year, and you can see different girls every year, looking at your group of young girls, the palace is also very happy." Today's Hundred Flowers Banquet, ladies and ladies do not have to be formal, there are not only some common flowers in the Dafeng Dynasty in this imperial garden, but also local tributes, you can enjoy the tour. After a stick of incense, we will return here to show our talents, chant poems against each other, and live up to the beautiful scenery we see today. β
"Yes." Hearing the words of the queen mother, everyone said yes.
Every year, the Hundred Flowers Banquet is held in the Imperial Garden, where everyone can enjoy and talk to each other, and secondly, the sons of the family are in the attic in the distance, and it is easy to see the scene of the Imperial Garden.
"I'll tell you." Zhang Ziling pulled Chengge and pretended to be watching a pot of flowers, attached to her and whispered, "I said I didn't want to come, my mother wanted to bring me here, and after coming here, I would be peeked at like a monkey, which was so unpleasant." β
Cheng Ge wanted to laugh a little, but seeing her indignant look, he quickly covered his lips with his sleeve, and then whispered, "You don't want to come, but there are people who want to be picked." β
Zhang Ziling looked in the direction of Cheng Ge's gaze, Zhishu was talking with Miss Shijia, but unfortunately there was a trace of embarrassment on their faces, and Zhishu seemed to have not seen it at all.
"Why is she here?" Zhang Ziling's eyes widened in surprise, "Didn't her sister just die?" is actually scratching her head and making a gesture here, does she have a conscience? After speaking, Zhang Ziling sighed, very disdainful.
"She is different from you, she has no mother's family to rely on now, and the only thing she relies on is the friendship between the prince and their sisters who grew up together." Cheng Ge glanced at Zhishu, and then moved his gaze to something else, "You have to choose well today, marriage is not a child's play." β
Zhang Ziling pursed her lips, she naturally knew what the real purpose of coming here today was, but she didn't want to face it inexplicably. She really wants to marry someone she likes, not a man she has never seen and doesn't know what temperament she has. But the reality does not allow her to be so willful, I just hope that today is not brilliant enough and will not be favored by anyone.
When Cheng Ge saw Zhang Ziling's appearance, he knew that she didn't take her words to heart, so he quietly leaned next to him and whispered, "Tell me first, what kind of man do you like?" If I find a suitable one, I might be able to introduce you. β
Zhang Ziling originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, if he missed the true destiny because of his refusal, wouldn't he cry and faint? So he thought about it seriously, "The man I like can not be handsome enough, he can not be tall enough, but he must be gentle and elegant, he must be good to me and my parents, and the most important thing is that he can't object to my martial arts." β
Cheng Ge nodded seriously, the original owner didn't know many men, in fact, there was no one to introduce her, I just hoped that she could be clear about what she wanted.
"Oh, you go with me to change clothes first!" After speaking, Zhang Ziling hurriedly pulled her to the toilet, Cheng Ge was waiting for her outside, but saw Zhishu pretending to fall, but was dodged by the man and fell to the ground.
"Zhao Gongzi, what do you mean by this?" Zhishu stood up from the ground in annoyance and shame, patted the dirt on his body, and said viciously to the man.
"Men and women don't kiss." The man who was called Zhao Gongzi said seriously, and then took a step back, "Girl, you have to respect yourself." β
Zhishu was so angry that his face turned red, and he shouted loudly, "Do you think I want to fall into your arms?" I just accidentally twisted my foot, you take yourself too seriously, I'm the sister of the crown princess. β
Zhao Gongzi didn't have a trace of emotional fluctuations on his face, straightened his waist and stood there, and nodded when he heard Zhishu's words, "It's so natural and best, if Miss Zhishu's shoes don't fit, let's change my shoes, lest I fall into someone else's arms, but fall into the water." β
