"By the way, that young lady was your ..... just now?" Yang Xiao stopped talking.

"She is the daughter of my second uncle, her name is Wei Qingwan, she ranks second in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and above me, she is my second sister." Wei Ziyuan said with a smile.

Yang Xiaoli glanced ahead, hung his head, and said in a low voice: "Just now, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I just thought that the young lady was the same as those people, because before I came, my second mother told me that as long as you have what you like, you can take it at will, but I don't know these rules, and I misunderstood the second miss." ”

Wei Ziyuan couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing this, daring to love this Yang Xiaoli is also a simple-minded person, and she really thought that her second mother was a good one, and listened to her words.

In his previous life, Yang Xiao passed away only a year after he got married, and the reason for this, even if Changyang really didn't say it, Wei Ziyuan could also get a glimpse of it. Later, Changyang Zhen blamed all this on the crown prince, if it weren't for this, according to the iron-like loyalty of General Zhenguo, he would definitely not follow Changyang Zhen on the desperate road of forcing the palace in the end.

Speaking of which, whether it is Yang Xiaoli or General Zhenguo, from beginning to end, it is just a chess piece on the road of Changyang Zhenwei to achieve his supreme cause.

Yang Xiaoli saw Wei Ziyuan smiling, her pretty face couldn't help but blush, and she said angrily: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Wei Ziyuan shook her head: "It's nothing." ”

"Liar! Nothing you still laugh at! ”

"Really, don't worry, my second sister is not such a stingy person, you can explain it when the time comes." Wei Ziyuan stepped forward and said as she walked: "Let's go, it's all far away." ”

Yang Xiaoli turned around, and saw that everyone had gone away, and couldn't, so he stomped his feet and followed.

The farther I went, the sound came. Everyone turned a rockery, and suddenly opened up in front of them, and there was a unique empty space between a large piece of plum forest, and all parties had already been placed on the field, all of which were covered with small snacks such as fruits, melons, and kernels.

The site is square, with green lichen in the middle to keep the ground cool, and a copper stove with flat corners bubs white heat, which is transmitted to the middle of the lichen by suction cylinders and other materials. The surrounding snow has long been cleared, and if it weren't for the traces of snow left on some of the trees, everyone would feel that they are in the middle of a warm spring day.

The three of them were already full of people, and they thought that they should be other daughters of the boudoir who participated in the Plum Garden Fair, and when they saw that their group of people were coming, they just glanced twice, and those who were familiar with each other just nodded and said hello to each other.

The rest is only the west side and the head There are still free seats, Xiao Anzi took everyone to sit in the seats in the west, and then walked to the side, he suddenly walked in front of Wei Ziyuan and others, bowed slightly, and whispered: "Ladies and ladies, sit down first, the person who presides over the Plum Garden Party this time is the queen's mother, and a group of nobles who are favored by the saints, you ladies should remember to be cautious in your words and deeds after a while." ”

Although it was a kind reminder, I don't know who I said it to.

Wei Ziyuan and the others didn't care, they hurriedly got up and saluted, and replied respectfully: "Thank you father-in-law for mentioning it." ”

Xiao Anzi nodded, stepped aside, and didn't speak.

Wei Ziyuan was close to each other and sat together, but Wei Ziyin saw that they were not pleasing to the eye, so she spontaneously sat on the edge and talked to others. Several people were also happy, Wei Ziyan sat next to Wei Ziyin, followed by Wei Qingwan, then Wei Ziyuan, and even Yang Xiaoli sat next to Wei Ziyuan with a face.

When everyone was sitting, they didn't dare to make a loud noise, and they didn't dare to casually reach out and eat the pastries, melons, fruits and other things on the table, for fear of falling into the eyes of others and losing face. In addition, the master did not come, and everyone dared not let it go at will.

In this way, about half a pillar of incense had passed, and there was a burst of laughter in front of them, and everyone looked up and saw a group of luxuriously dressed women coming in front of many palace maids.

The chamberlain stepped forward and shouted in a sharp voice: "The queen mother has arrived!" Li Guifei Niangniang and He Guifei Niangniang are here! ”

Another chamberlain stepped forward: "Concubine Chang Niangniang, Concubine Yun Niangniang is here!" The eldest princess, the sixth princess, and the eleventh princess of An Ning have arrived! ”

After a while, they came to everyone, and the palace maid stepped forward and sat down with their own sons.

There were so many nobles who came at once, and everyone was afraid that they couldn't do it, so they hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and shouted in their mouths: "The queen mother is a thousand years old!" Li Guifei, He Guifei Niangniang Jin'an, Chang Fei, Yun Concubine Niangniang Jin'an, the eldest princess, the sixth princess Jin'an! ”

The queen led a group of harem ladies to sit down slowly at the top, and then raised her eyes to look ahead, and said with a smile: "Get up!" ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly said in unison: "Thank you, Queen Mother!" Then he got up and sat down again.

Wei Ziyan raised her head, her eyes were high, and her eyes were full of brilliance.

Wei Ziyuan noticed it, couldn't help but turn her head, and then lowered her head again.

This Plum Garden Party is actually different from all the previous lives. In her previous life, she remembered that the person who came to preside over the Plum Garden Party was just the old Changqing of Yiguo Temple, but she didn't expect that there would be so many people in the palace in this life. However, Wei Ziyuan suppressed the discomfort in her heart, perhaps because of her rebirth, there were some changes, at least for now, except for the difference in the person who presided, there was not much difference from her previous life. The main thing is that as long as everything that follows is as it was in her previous life, then her plan will not go too wrong.

Seeing everyone like this, the queen was very satisfied, glanced around, and she spoke again: "Today is the biennial plum garden event, the palace has never seen this scene, and the order of Emperor Xin Yun is that the plum garden event will be presided over by the palace." And the palace according to the Ministry of Rites to visit, invited all the famous ladies and people with their own talents, I hope that you will perform well this time, don't lose your brilliance! ”

Her voice was low and tactful, quite good, and she raised a glass of wine, without losing her manners but with a lot of extravagance: "In this way, the palace will first toast you with a glass, and hope that this plum garden event will be a complete success!" With that, he raised his head and drank the wine in his cup.

Seeing this, everyone was proud in their hearts, and they all got up with their cups and said, "Thank you for the auspicious words of Queen Niang!" This plum garden event must be the first before and after! ”

Seeing this, the queen couldn't help but show a smile on her face, nodded, and the queen said: "Everyone, please sit down, that's it, then next, you will definitely show off your demeanor and show my daughter's spirit!" ”

"Follow the orders of the Queen! It will definitely live up to the queen's expectations! The crowd replied.

Wei Ziyuan also went up and down with everyone, but she sneered in her heart, the queen's move seemed to be really worried about the Plum Garden Club, but in fact, she was just secretly choosing the right people and supporters, so as to make plans for the prince's future.

Wei Ziyuan thought about it, and couldn't help but be even more sarcastic in her heart, in her previous life, Ren was the queen who calculated everything, but in the end, wasn't she still defeated by Changyang Zhen? However, Wei Ziyuan rolled her eyes and couldn't help but smile slightly, in this life, it is not necessarily!

Seeing this, the queen's face was even more satisfied, she tilted her head slightly, and Mama Li behind her understood, stepped forward, glanced at the audience with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "According to the standard of the Plum Garden Fair, the daughters can perform their respective talents here first, in order to get the cards, and then continue to the customs clearance of each round meeting, and in the end, the one with the most clearance cards is the winner of the Plum Garden Festival!" After that, she looked at the palace maid on the side, nodded slightly, and the palace maid understood, waved her hand and stepped forward, and immediately followed by the attendant.

Mama Li looked at the audience again: "The customs clearance project will be based on their respective lottery as the standard, and if you draw your own corresponding card code, you will start with it, one by one." ”

In this way, the palace maid will carry a pile of labeled bamboo slips from the western seat in turn, and each daughter has a bamboo stick, and the bamboo stick is the inscription of each garden.

The Plum Garden Party is not just a simple appreciation of plum blossoms and poetry. Among them, there are piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, as well as a variety of folk ingenious skills, all of which are open to the park, one of which is insignificant. Wei Ziyuan drew lots, glanced at the bamboo sticks in her hand, on the bamboo sticks, the word "chess" was engraved with vermilion lacquer, she knew that the first thing she would go to was the chess garden.

Wei Qingwan and Yang Xiaoli also squeezed to see her, but coincidentally, they actually went to a garden party.

"Queen Mother!" At this time, a voice suddenly sounded, and everyone looked for it.
