In contrast, on the side of the eldest prince, the second prince Ning Chaoge, who was dressed in a gray Confucian shirt and holding a folding fan, did not have the spirit of the eldest prince, but he looked calm and restrained, although there was a sharp edge in his eyes, it would not be intimidating, under the majesty of the eldest prince, he was calmly and calmly talking and laughing with Shen Ke.

The nine sons of the dragon are different, it seems that the sons of this heaven are also different, Ning Cheng is domineering, Ning Chaoge is introverted and calm, and Ning Zhiyuan is more than feminine, but I don't know what will happen to the three princes who have not yet come to the eldest prince and the first mother?

"General Shen, I heard that there are many heroes in the mansion today, I am not invited, General Shen should not be surprised!" The eldest prince's gaze swept over the crowd one by one, and finally stopped at Ning Zhiyuan, who was drinking.

"How could it be, Shen was originally going to invite His Highness to drive, but thinking of His Highness's many affairs, he dispelled this idea, and today His Highness and His Royal Highness Second Highness are here, it is really full of splendor, splendid!" Shen Ke's domineering spirit that he has cultivated over the years of conquest makes him calm even in front of the eldest prince.

"General Shen, my eldest brother and I came here rashly without prior notice, so don't be surprised." Ning Chaoge folded the fan in his hand, and his gaze passed through the willows and fell on Ning Zhiyuan's body.

"Where is it, it is Shen who has missed the distance, and please don't blame the two highnesses."

Du Yiyi didn't have the heart to continue reading this back and forth surface talk, obviously she knew it, no matter how nice you sounded, what could you do?

"Fourth, I didn't expect you to be so interested in such a thing as a group meeting before we came earlier." Ning Chaoge raised his folding fan, hurriedly walked a few steps between the two willows, and walked in front of Ning Zhiyuan.

"Second brother." Ning Zhiyuan had light sleeves and smiled pleasantly: "My health has improved a lot in the past few days, and Chang Liu asked me to go out for a walk more, and General Shen also invited me when he saw that I was bored and panicked." ”

These two sentences pushed the spearhead to Shen Ke.

"Your Highness, Second Highness, we are carrying out a wine order, I wonder if the two Highnesses are interested?" Shen Ke would naturally change the topic, and Ning Cheng and Ning Chaoge would not be stupid enough to make trouble with Shen Ke here, so he smiled and said yes.

"General, the meal is ready, I don't know when the banquet will be?" The housekeeper of the Shen Mansion hurriedly came.

Shen Ke looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost noon, you let the kitchen prepare, and I'll invite the guests to the lobby later." ”

"Yes." The housekeeper took the order and went to see it, but he didn't dare to look at Ning Cheng more.

"Everyone, if you have wine or no food, let's continue after the banquet, the peony flowers in the back garden are blooming well, can you have Yaxing go with Shen to have a look?" The two princes have come to the door, this is the beginning of Shen Ke's expectations, as long as he still holds the military power in his hands and gains the emperor's trust, it is not impossible for the four princes to come to the door to ask for relatives, at the moment, you can't be in a hurry.

"Peony, the rich and noble of flowers, the peony on General Shen's mansion, must be full of bloom!" Ning Chaoge gently shook the folding fan in his hand, and the two strands of black hair in his ears moved with the wind.

"This peony is indeed blooming well this year, Shen is brave, please invite His Royal Highness Second Highness to enter the garden to have a look." Shen Ke didn't shirk much, peony is the favor of these celebrities in the capital, this year, which high-ranking family does not raise a few peonies are embarrassed to greet others, peony means wealth, this is a must-have thing for celebrities in the family.

"Then ask General Shen to lead the way!" Ning Cheng stepped forward and walked to Shen Ke's side.

Du Yiyi's legs couldn't walk too fast, so she could only follow everyone step by step with Lu Xiangxue's support, the back garden was planted with seasonal flowers, and now most of the peonies planted in this season were planted in the back garden, and the back garden was in the backyard, and it was only fifty steps away from the stream.

"The peony demon in front of the court is unqualified, and the pond is pure and affectionate. Only the peony is true to the national color, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom. Ning Zhiyuan is the masterpiece of a genius of the previous generation, peony because of the meaning of wealth and happiness of people, in October 15 every year at the time of the Yuan Festival, the heavenly family will host a peony flower festival, in order to let the people and the heavenly family have fun, a look at the peony country.

The peony flowers in the garden are of different colors, with huge flowers, thick petals, and many stamens. The red ones are like fire, the yellow ones are like gold, the pink ones are like xia, and the white ones are like jade.

A breeze blows, and a burst of fragrance comes to the nose, which makes people feel refreshed.

"Hey, aren't those two bean green?" Zhang Jing shook his finger and pointed to two pots of peonies with green petals that were placed on a wooden mound not far away. Bean green, is a kind of peony, famous for its petals similar to leaf green, is a precious variety of peony.

In the middle of the garden, there is a clearing, on which there is a stone table and several stone benches, and around the clearing, there is a circle of wooden piers of different heights, on which peonies are placed.

"General Shen's back garden is really a surprise! Even the crown black jade has it. Ning Zhiyuan stared at the circle of wooden piers and sighed.

"Crowned black jade? This is a hard-to-buy peony variety! Someone exhaled in surprise, and some of them hurriedly walked to the pot of peony with dark purple and black petals on a wooden pier and leaned over to look at it carefully.

"The emperor's grace is vast, these are all rewards from the saints, but Shen is a rough person, and he has insulted these famous flowers!" Shen Ke shook his head, full of modest gestures.

"I have also seen this Lantian jade in the Imperial Garden, and I heard that it is also extremely valuable." Xiao Jingchuan leaned over and looked at the white peony in a pot of petal powder, his eyes were full of surprise.

"The one with the most petals, named Wei Zi, a flower has about six or seven hundred petals, it is a veritable peony flower, the pot of petals next to Wei Zi is similar to cinnabar, called Fire Alchemy Pill, and the pot with purple and red, pink and white petals, named Er Qiao, also called Luoyang Jin, these are all varieties that are difficult to buy, General Shen is blessed, blessed!" Ning Chaoge strode into the clearing, and pointed at the peonies on the wooden pier one by one with the folding fan in his hand, these varieties he had also seen in the imperial garden, and there was only one plant and two Qiao in his house, and Shen Ke gathered so many precious varieties in a back garden, which was enough to see the emperor's importance to him! It seems that his trip today was not in vain!

"I didn't expect His Royal Highness to dabble in peony varieties, but he is really knowledgeable!" Xiao Jingchu leaned over and sniffed lightly, complimenting Ning Chaoge comfortably.

"If you want to say that the most precious thing is the Qinglong Lying Ink Pool. The heart of the flower is green, surrounded by dark purple multi-layered petals, like a green dragon lying in the center of the ink pool, this kind of superb product that can only be enjoyed by the heavenly family, I didn't expect to see it in General Shen's mansion today. Yan Xinglu stood in front of the highest wooden pier, intoxicated and smelling the flowers.

Fang Cai Yan Xinglu alone used his body to block this pot of green dragon lying ink pond Ning Chao didn't see it, now he turned sideways, and standing next to the stone bench, he saw at a glance this peony that can only be grown in the imperial garden. Qinglong Lying Ink Pond is not the most beautiful peony, but because of this name, the emperor recognized that it is a thing that can only be planted in the garden of the true dragon emperor.

This peony alone is enough to prove that the emperor attaches great importance to Shen Ke.

Looking at Ning Chaoge, who was quite proud and proud of introducing peony varieties surrounded by everyone, and Shen Ke, who was modest and respectful but not lacking in arrogance and wantonness, Ning Cheng raised his eyebrows and pondered, Shen Ke is indeed valued by his father, but he thinks that it is inevitably too beautiful, with Du Yiyi's current reputation, it is difficult to still want to be a princess!

"General, Your Royal Highness is here, and the butler is respectfully inviting you to the back garden!" The guards who had just been notified hurriedly walked through the crowd and stood behind Shen Ke with their fists folded.

All four princes are here! The talented and celebrity who was talking about the peony and the poetry raised his arrogant head and glanced at his master.

The third prince Ning Chengyou, is a brother born from the mother of the eldest prince, although they are brothers, but the relationship is not very harmonious and harmonious, Ning Chengyou was considered by the national teacher when he was seven years old to be a bone Qingqi is a martial arts wizard and has been taken to the side of the national teacher to learn martial arts, this learning is more than ten years, at the heavenly banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve the year before, Ning Chengyou single-handedly killed two assassins who wanted to assassinate the emperor Zhou Quan won the emperor's praise and won the position of commander of the forbidden army. Dahe is heavy on literature and light on martial arts, unless you become a general above 10,000 people, Ning Chengyou has merit and hard work in guarding the palace, but he doesn't occupy much position in the hearts of the ministers, they are all from the same mother, they are all princes, they are all surnamed Ning, one is holding a pen, the other is holding a sword, but there is such a big difference, Ning Chengyou is very mindful, and the relationship between the two has become tense because of this!

The contradiction between the two had a big outbreak as early as three months ago when the summer queen was in full swing and took a harem concubine to Aicheng for summer vacation on the order of the emperor, but at that time, the queen did not make much movement, and the two of them, except for the four concubines such as the family dinner table and the emperor and the queen Chang Fei, would only pretend to greet each other with a color or two, and when they didn't see each other, they didn't ask for everyone.

Everyone came today with the task of the master behind them, so everyone also expected that the guests of the Shen Mansion would not be too noisy today, but who would have thought that in an instant, because of Ning Zhiyuan's arrival, the other three princes came.

A good show is about to take the stage!

Next to a pot of graceful and luxurious Wei Zi with proud branches, Yan Xinglu twisted up a peony petal that fell off the branch because everyone was crowded to watch the famous flower, raised his hand and closed his eyes and sniffed lightly, the flower is fragrant, but the remnant flowers are lost willows, who will take a second look?

The third prince, Ning Chengyou, wore a dark purple red arrow sleeve, tied with a colorful silk knot and a long spike palace collar tape, covered with a stone blue flower eight groups of wreath forging row tassel gown, and strode with a pair of green forging foundation boots, walked in from the arched round door like a leisurely stroll, and swept into the dazzling brothers in the crowd at a glance, his high head was slightly raised back, and at the same time, his hand was pulled out from behind him and lifted it on his waist and shook his sleeves and said: "General Shen is really lively here today!" I didn't expect the eldest brother, the second brother, and the fourth brother to be so interested, and they came faster than me, an idler! ”
