The second prince Yu, the third prince Lu, and the fourth prince Zhan got down from the first gorgeous carriage, and Xu Zifeng and Xu Zijiao saw this and quickly stepped forward to greet them. Next, the crown princess, the eldest princess, and the second princess got down from the second carriage, and the last one to come down was the third princess from Queen Chen, who was alone in a carriage, so she didn't want to squeeze in a carriage with the crown princess and others.

King Zhan quietly glanced at Han Jinxiu, he was quite distressed recently, and wanted to see Han Jinxiu, who knew that her bedroom was heavily guarded and unwilling to break in, in case her identity was exposed, it would be worth the loss for him. Secondly, he handed the news to the palace maid beside Han Jinxiu, and wanted to see her in the Zhenbei Palace, but it was a stone in the sea.

Han Jinxiu knew that she was looking over at the Zhan Dynasty, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, avoiding the past. The prince was weak and could not come to the flower viewing banquet of the Chengguo Mansion, and everyone was not surprised.

Xu Zifeng quickly glanced at the second princess, who was his cousin, and then withdrew his gaze, made a gesture of invitation, and led King Yu, King Lu, and King Zhan in, while Xu Zijiao led the crown princess, the eldest princess, the second princess, and the third princess in. The second princess and Xu Zijiao smiled at each other, they are cousins, so they are naturally closer than others. The third princess couldn't help but snort, raised her head and walked in by herself, so that she wouldn't wait for them, grinding and chirping.

As soon as she entered, the third princess saw the county lord of Yonghe dressed in red, and walked towards her with a smile. The county lord of Yonghe stood up to greet the third princess, and was about to lean over when he was stopped by the third princess: "Yonghe, you and I don't have to be so polite, sit down quickly." How long have you been here? The two sat down together and began to talk enthusiastically.

Immediately after that, Xu Zijiao led the crown princess, the eldest princess, and the second princess in, and the female guests who had already arrived naturally stood up and saluted them.

After saluting, Yao, as the hostess, said with a smile: "The crown princess, the eldest princess, the second princess, and the third princess, please take a seat." "The princess of the royal family is naturally the most distinguished guest, and she has to be entertained.

The highest seat should be the crown princess, and her husband is the crown prince, second only to His Majesty. Who would have thought that the third princess would quickly walk over and sit down, Yao's brows twisted for a moment, she knew that the third princess had always been favored by Queen Chen, but today, at the flower banquet of the Chengguo Mansion, didn't Queen Chen mention her in advance?

If Queen Chen knew, she would definitely answer Yao, why didn't she remind her, she almost didn't come with her, she was particularly worried about the third princess, so she specially sent the grandmother around her.

Without waiting for Yao to speak, Han Jinxiu said, "Everyone sit down." "Choose to sit on the left side of the Yao family, the third princess is willing to sit, let her sit.

The third princess had a trace of pride in her eyes, hum, the useless straw bales of Zhenbei Wangfu looked at the grandmother standing beside her with contempt, as if to say, see no, the crown princess is not qualified to compete for a seat with me, don't be afraid!

The male and female guests are separated, as the saying goes, good men and women are not at the same table at the age of seven, and there are many boudoir girls to be married here, and they have to come according to the number of etiquette.

Yao endured the dissatisfaction with the third princess in his heart, took a deep breath, and was just about to speak, taking all the female guests to see the peony flowers in the back garden, but the third princess took the lead: "Duchess Chengguo, where are the peony flowers?" ”

The third princess is taking the lead and pulling hatred for herself, the grandmother next to her is glaring at her with hatred, why is she so uncomposed, Queen Chen's words, the third princess is afraid that she will be regarded as a deaf ear, and she can't remember anything, how can she explain to Queen Chen when she goes back, and Mama is full of sorrow.

The reason why the third princess is so anxious is because she can't wait anymore and desperately wants to see Wang Yaolin, the secretary of Dali Temple. Today's male guests naturally invited Wang Yaolin, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Lin Botao, the commander of Jinyiwei, the two of them are His Majesty's most important courtiers, and the Chengguo Mansion will naturally not leave them behind. If it weren't for Wang Yaolin coming to the flower viewing banquet of the Chengguo Mansion, the three princesses would not be willing to come.

Yao smiled and stood up: "The crown princess, the eldest princess, the second princess, the third princess, the lord of Yonghe, and all the girls are all following me, let's go see the peony in the backyard." ”

Since it is a flower-viewing feast, how can there be no peonies that people can admire. The old lady who passed away in the Chengguo Mansion loved peonies, so the old Chengguo Duke who doted on him specially cultivated and planted a lot of precious peonies in the backyard. Every year, the Chengguo Mansion will hold a flower-viewing banquet to invite young talents and famous ladies from the capital, which has contributed to a lot of good fate, which makes the flower-viewing banquet of the Chengguo Mansion every year extraordinarily expected. Of course, this is also His Majesty's approval, and the Duke of Chengguo dared to let the Duchess of Chengguo Zhang Luo enjoy the flower banquet.

Yao's arrived with female guests, Xu Zifeng also arrived with male guests, and Chengguo Gong was invited into the palace by His Majesty, so the male guests were entertained by Xu Zifeng.

Everyone gathered together, and the county lord of Yonghe took the initiative to propose: "There are many people today, or we will have a competition about flowers, how about it?" "It's a bit boring to enjoy peonies every year, so it's better to let them try it, it's fun.

The proposal of the county lord of Yonghe was approved by most people, and Yao and Xu Zijiao glanced at each other, and naturally readily agreed. While speaking, the subordinates of the Chengguo Mansion had already set up tables and chairs in the backyard, so that everyone could sit down and have a lively competition.

Han Jinxiu and the eldest princess glanced at each other, and the two sat down together, they sat down, and many guests sat down. The third princess sat next to the county lord of Yonghe, and the second princess sat next to Xu Zijiao. The female dependents sit on the right, the male dependents sit on the left, and the people in the middle carefully hold all kinds of precious peony flowers for everyone to watch.

The competition proposed by the county lord of Yonghe was naturally presided over by her, and she stood up and took the lead in saying in red: "The competition between men and women is divided into three rounds, three games and two wins, and everyone present in the first round has to answer. Let me talk about the rules of the first round of the competition, the topic of the first round of the competition is very simple, that is, to the precious peony flower to say the verses of the predecessors or come up with their own poems, you can, in the end, see which team has the most people, is the winner, do you hear clearly? ”

Everyone present had to answer, and after the Lord Yonghe finished speaking, he glanced at the third princess quietly, and a trace of an unknown smile crossed his eyes.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and soon, everyone unanimously agreed to the proposal of the county lord of Yonghe.

Yao's family is naturally happy to see this, her children are all talented people, especially Xu Zifeng is going to participate in the palace examination in more than ten days, and she and the master are quite proud of the top ranking in the examination. At today's flower-viewing banquet, the lord of Yonghe proposed three rounds of competitions, and talented people will naturally shine.

Immediately after that, it started with the female guest, and the male guest pricked up his ears and listened seriously.

The third princess: "The hibiscus flowers in the wood powder, the red calyx in the mountains." The stream is lonely, and they open and fall. ”

Yonghe County Lord: "Only the peony is true to the country, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom." ”

"With this good color of the city, the Heavenly Sect will send flowers late." Xu Zijiao said.

"The world is a real flower and a peony." Crown Princess Han Jinxiu said.

"The spring of the year is devastated, and I will look for Yao Huang and Wei Zi again." Ji Cailing, the eldest daughter of Ji Ge, said.

"The bamboo shoots are long and slender, and they bloom with bright flowers." Princess Celestia said.

"The green is quiet and quiet, and the red clothes are light and deep. The heart of the flower is broken, and the spring color does not know the heart. The second princess said.

"The melancholy red peony before the steps, there are only two branches in the evening. The wind in the Ming Dynasty should blow out, and the night will be red to see the fire. The second princess said.
