Twenty-seven. Opening
After the farce, the flower-viewing banquet also followed.
In the blue sky, the clouds are cirriling, and unlike at night, during the day, the white color of the clouds is the dominant color.
Many of the flowers in Xunfangzhai have not yet bloomed, but the green leaves are also very festive.
And the blooming flowers add infinite brilliance to this boundless green.
As soon as you enter the door, everyone who comes will be startled by the boulder in the corner.
Past that boulder, you will see a pavilion. The pavilion was weathered at first glance, as the red-lacquered pillars were now a little dull, and even light-colored in some places.
Next to the pavilion is a river, the water in the river is crystal clear, but the fish in it are not as precious as flowers, just ordinary carp.
Mu Ling's two favorite things are listening to Li Bai playing the piano and feeding the fish in this pool.
It's a pity that the two things never come together.
There are some lotus flowers planted on the pond, not much, but enough for people to appreciate. But now it's spring, and the lotus flowers naturally can't bloom.
In the distance, it is the center of this Xunfangzhai, and there is also a pavilion, but it can be clearly seen that it has just been built.
This pavilion has just been built, and it is said to be a pavilion, but it is not a place to rest.
The performances of both men and women have to be held here, so this is particularly large.
If this Xunfangzhai is a mansion, then this pavilion must be an outer hall.
Ancient people liked symmetry, but Mu Ling was not so particular. The large and small pavilions are located in various places, and none of the flowers are the same, and even if it is a flower, it must be of different species.
On this morning, the maids all got up early, but no matter how early they got up, Mu Ling was already standing in a pavilion in Xunfangzhai when they arrived.
This was the first time they had seen this Xun Fang Zhai, and at this moment, even if they succumbed to Mu Ling's obscenity, they couldn't help but be amazed.
This is where their fantasy of paradise is fully satisfied.
Mu Ling was pleased with their expressions, but what had to be done still had to be done.
As soon as she thought of the bet she had made with someone the other day, she was in high spirits, skillfully directing the maids to do this and that.
The flower-viewing banquet is specially set up for literati and talented women, so the emperor will not come to participate, and all the princes will come if they want to, but it is better not to come, so as to save everyone from being restrained.
But this year, there are significantly more princes who come to participate than last year.
The fourth prince has been away all the year round, and now he is not young, and it is time to marry a wife, so it is natural for him to come.
Because of the agreement with himself, it is understandable that the five princes came. The crown prince is now out of power, and it is also said that he came here to recruit talents in order to consolidate his position.
But the second prince and the third prince, who are usually silent, also came.
Oh, and the six princes, who are also very competitive, are also here.
There were six princes at this time, if it weren't for the fact that the seventy, eighty, and ninety princes were too young, Mu Ling seriously suspected that those princes would all come at once.
What kind of flowers and poems are you singing! Mu Ling thought irritably.
But the most difficult thing for Mu Ling was who should sit on the high platform.
In previous years, there would usually only be one prince who arrived, so that position was naturally sat by him.
But now......
However, Mu Ling still thought of a way in the end.
Since you don't know who to arrange, don't go.
Yes, since these six princes are here, they are literati, and since they are literati, what is it to sit with other literati.
As for the upper position, why do you have to set up one?
There are a lot of people who will be here today.
The daughters of officials above the third rank can participate, although there are not many officials above the third grade, but there are also many of their daughters, plus some famous people in the capital will also come, so if you count it, there will be forty or fifty people for the woman alone.
As for the men, there were relatively few of them.
After all, the man who wants to participate in the flower-viewing banquet is either an official of the imperial court, or the son of an official of the third rank or above, or a person who has gone up to the third floor of the Star Picking Tower.
Most of the imperial court officials are not small now, so there are not many people coming, and there are only a handful of people on the third floor of the Star Tower.
In this way, there are only about 30 people who come.
There will be a vase on everyone's table, and in the vase is a flower, and everyone will give it to their favorite person with the vase and flowers.
Today's mat was originally chosen first by whoever came, but today Princess Yaocheng will come, and Yi Mu Ling chose the second mat.
After Mu Ling got everything ready, everyone came one after another.
This is the first time Mu Xue has been here, and when she came in, she was fascinated by the beautiful scenery in front of her.
It's all so beautiful!
She stood there for a long time, but she didn't feel ashamed, because most of the people who came in had such expressions.
It was only then that she was attracted to another person, and that person was Qi Yuanchen.
When he came, everyone respectfully called him "Four Highnesses".
Seeing this, Qi Yuanchen also smiled warmly: "Everyone is not more formal, today just enjoy the flowers and beauties, regardless of status." ”
Qi Yuanchen felt a ...... With a lot of strong eyes, he looked in the direction of Mu Xue and smiled at many women.
With this smile, Mu Xue felt that she was in love for the first time.
……
The five women would not come to this kind of banquet with other purposes on weekdays, but for some reason, except for the poisonous lady, this year's five women are all here.
Even people like Xue Langtian, who only know how to travel all over the world, came, which made Mu Ling very puzzling.
After viewing the flowers, let's get straight to the point.
Li Baixian's boredom came, mainly because he wanted to find the owner of the Star Picking Building, although he was very uncertain, but he felt that the owner of the Star Picking Building was among these women.
Li Bai is the only son of a wealthy gentleman in Jiangnan, and the family has no requirements for him, just hoping that he can make a name for himself, because Li Bai came to the capital from a very young age.
Li Bai actually knew why Mu Xue knew his poems, because he was also a time-traveler and traveled from that dynasty. It's just that he is no longer as full of ambition as before, and all he wants now is to find someone he likes to spend the rest of his life in peace.
It's already good here, it's the same with him and without him.
Here, except for Mu Ling and the other three women, who were wearing masks, the other women all showed their faces very generously.
Li Bai looked at the four women with complicated eyes, and felt that they were not in shape.
Then it will only depend on who will do the.
Mu Ling was very angry, because she clearly realized that this dance Qianqiu was here to make trouble.
Why? Because what she performed at this time was not her best dance, even if she was not doing it, she also performed tea art!
Who has been making tea here throughout the ages!
And the affection is even more excessive, and he went directly to the men's seat to talk to Qi Yuanxi, how long have you not spoken before you want to talk now!
But that's it, but the snow doctor is full of benevolence, and he always has to say it when he sees people's illnesses at a glance.
Hehe, why don't I see you so kind on weekdays?
And she still has to maintain the most perfect demeanor and can't scold her mother!
Mu Ling can see clearly, where these three people came to this banquet, it is obvious that she is unhappy to find fault.
Why didn't you find these three guys so annoying in the Star Picking Pavilion?
Mu Ling glanced at the princes who had long been fascinated and didn't know who they were.
I've seen you all throughout.
Mu Ling inadvertently glanced at Li Bai, who was bored drinking, and a few smiles appeared on his face.
This Li Bai ......
