There is nowhere to find the spring of long-term hatred, so it returns to spring every year.

On April 28th, the flowers are over, the flower god returns, the world is gone, and the Beidou guide is turned into summer.

In the boudoir, there is a custom of spring, also known as sending spring.

On this day, the girls should dress up with all their hearts, and they must show off their grandeur. The flowers and food on the spring banquet are mainly made into various kinds of food with jasmine, rose, osmanthus and other flowers, or cakes or porridge soup, the aroma is rich and the taste is sweet.

Even the wine must be made from acacia flowers, and the utensils on the table must be related to flowers and plants, such as lotus plates, sunflower bowls, lotus leaf cups, pomegranate flower cups, and so on.

There is also a grass fight at the flower banquet, and the grass fighting is a game often played in the boudoir. As the name suggests, it is a fight with flowers and plants, and the winner is the one with a large number or strange flowers and plants.

This was originally a game that arose in the Dragon Boat Festival of the previous dynasty, and in the Great Zhou Dynasty, because there was a feast of flowers, so it was fought at the banquet, which seemed to be more appropriate.

The married women of the flower banquet did not participate, and only the women who had not left the pavilion gathered in one place.

So everyone got up earlier than usual that morning in order to dress up carefully.

After that, I have to go to the Imperial Garden to pick flowers and plants to prepare for the grass fighting later.

Wei Yining couldn't help but smile when he got up early: "I said that I came to the palace to be a companion, but it has been a few days since I entered the palace, and I haven't even had anything to do with reading." ”

Wei Lanqi also smiled: "You also know that this reading is just a disguise, since the princesses have been taught by nannies to read books such as "The Book of Women" and "The Legend of the Martyr", and they have also learned to read. After the age of twelve, the old scholar of the Hongwen Hall will lecture on the Four Books and the Five Classics, which is actually just listening. You really want to be a scholar! ”

The two of them dressed up and went to the back garden to pick flowers with Lord Duanmin, these things can naturally be done by the palace maids around them, but if so, wouldn't it be a lot less fun?

This is the case with the custom of self-origin, such as inserting wormwood in May, and ascending the heights of the heavy nine, so you have to do it yourself.

"At this time, the rose rose blooms best," Lord Duanmin stretched out his hand to pick a rose with a red heart and white petals, held it in his hand and said: "This flower is commonly known as the beauty heart, but it is also appropriate." ”

"This green rose is not found anywhere else," Wei Lanqi said, pointing to a cluster of green roses next to him, "When I was at home, I heard that there is such a green rose in the Imperial Garden, which is really special. ”

Wei Yining also said: "This palace is really different, if it were elsewhere, some flowers would have already bloomed." ”

"You don't know, these gardeners have spent several lifetimes in this imperial garden, studying the nature of those plants and trees thoroughly, how to make the flowering period advance, how to delay the flowering period, or allow it to bear fruit, or even turn day and night upside down.

The year before last, Yuhua wanted to see the epiphany bloom, but she couldn't stay up at night. A gardener surnamed Tao came up with a way, built a shed, raised more than a dozen pots of epiphyllum in it, and covered it with a black cloth during the day. At night, dozens of candles were lit to illuminate the shed as if it were day. After dozens of days like this, the epiphany really bloomed during the day.

The concubine rewarded the gardener for this, and Yuhua was the first person to see the epiphany during the day. ”

The three of them walked and enjoyed the flowers, and when they turned around, they happened to meet Sun Mingming and Bai Wen.

The two of them hurriedly saluted the county lord of Duanmin, and the county lord asked, "Why don't you see Qinghua?" ”

"The princess is teasing the peacock over there, so we're here here." Bai Wen smiled and a pair of pear vortices appeared on her face, which was very pleasing and obedient.

Wei Lanqi saw that Sun Mingming was carrying a basket with a lot of flowers and plants, and couldn't help but quip: "Miss Sun, can you take it easy, don't you get tired of picking so many flowers and plants in the basket?" ”

Sun Mingming didn't like Wei Lanqi in the first place, seeing her say this, although there was the county lord in front of her, she didn't want to swallow her anger, and said with her eyebrows: "Miss Wei also thinks too highly of me, I know that you sisters are better than flowers, but you fight flowers and plants, and you can't count your own face." ”

Wei Lanqi was not angry, and said with a smile: "But, thanks to the flowers and plants, not gold, silver and jewelry, otherwise I would not be able to fight Miss Sun." ”

As soon as Wei Lanqi's words were finished, Princess Fanghua walked over with two companions.

Her companion Yan Yiyi is the uncle and sister of Yan, the second grandmother of the Shao family, and she is a sister to Yan Lanlan.

It's just that Yan Yiyi's appearance is outstanding, much more beautiful than her sister Yan Lanlan.

Everyone then stopped and said goodbye to Princess Fanghua.

Princess Fanghua and her mother Chen Shufei have five points of similarity in appearance, they usually like to be quiet and do not like to move, and it is just a custom to come to the imperial garden to walk around today.

She only held a flower in her hand, which was a bunch of broken jade vines.

Because she came, Sun Mingming didn't want to be entangled more, not to mention that she had to continue picking flowers! So he said a few words, and pulled Bai Wen to turn around.

"That Wei Lanqi is too arrogant, relying on the county lord to appreciate her, so he doesn't take us seriously." Sun Mingming said angrily: "She has the ability to do this in front of Xu Zhixi, I admire her for her courage." ”

Bai Wen still looked like a calm person, and persuaded: "Forget it, we are all newcomers, why should we form a grudge because of a trivial matter?" Your family is from an imperial businessman, so you should know that harmony makes money. ”

"I want to be kind, but I can't stop people from picking at each other." Sun Mingming said: "I can see it, I can't want a ball of harmony." ”

She said this, but her eyes looked around, and when she saw the flowers and plants that she had not picked, she chose a good one and folded it off.

Sun Mingming's competitiveness is irrepressible, she has heard people say that when Xu Guifei first entered the palace, she won the grass at the flower banquet.

Her family is a businessman, and she pays great attention to the color head, and she thinks that this is the first grand event since entering the palace, and if she can be like Xu Guifei, it must also be an excellent omention.

Sun Mingming didn't take Wei Lanqi in her eyes, because in the past few days since she entered the palace, Wei Lanqi has attracted the hatred of many people, and Xu Zhixi sees her as unpleasant.

"Wei Lanqi's dead girl, and her kung fu sneered at me, and she didn't think about how to save her life." Sun Mingming smiled secretly in her heart.

A team of guards from afar was patrolling, and Sun Ming knew that these Ouchi guards were all noble-born sons.

Someone among them will marry someone in the team in the future, but his ambition is higher than that.

"It's almost time, let's go to the feast! Don't go late and make people feel rude. Bai Wen whispered on the side.

Sun Mingming looked at the basket in her hand, and she was almost ready.

The flower banquet was set up in the Shen Xiang Pavilion in the Imperial Garden, Sun Mingming and Bai Wen first found Princess Qinghua, and then the three of them slowly walked towards Shen Xiang Pavilion.

Princess Qinghua's temperament is very cowardly, her mother Liu Guiren is not in good health, and she has been taught by her grandmother and nanny since she was a child.
