After a month, Zhao Zixiu, the king of An, gradually unloaded his real power and became an idle prince.

When autumn came, Wuda had already opened hot pot restaurants to all parts of the Li Dynasty, and Yi Xiangxiang had made a lot of money.

And because of the stable status of the crown prince Zhao Ziqian, Yi Luochuan, who was a celebrity around the prince, naturally attracted the sons of the Kyoto family to compete for friendship. Yi Xiangxiang, as the eldest daughter of the Yi family's big house, her marriage naturally became a high-profile existence.

Since the beginning of autumn, there are not only the wives of the family who secretly inquired about the Yi family in this Kyoto city, but also the matchmakers who have directly invited them to rush to propose.

The Yi family has really experienced what it means to be a threshold, and it has been broken.

In fact, it is not surprising, after all, marriage is the most direct link between families. The Yi family can be said to be in full swing now, and the people who want to have a relationship with them are indeed like carp crossing the river.

"Look at my mother, I just said that there is no need to rush! Even if I don't know everything, calligraphy, and painting, isn't this courtship lined up outside the moat? Yi Xiangxiang said to the Lin family with a smug face.

Today, her father Yi Xihu has a social outing, and all the masters in the big house eat in their own yards. When Yi Xiangxiang ate too much and went to the garden to eat, she met her mother Lin, who was also visiting the garden, and came to the main courtyard with her.

At this moment, she was sitting cross-legged on the collapse, talking to Lin.

Lin embroidered a peony flower with a needle and thread on his hand, and said angrily when he heard the words:

"Look, look! These are all here to watch your father and your brother, which one is really here for you? This...... These people ...... Eh, they say it's ugly, it's the juniors who tend to be inflammatory! If this kind of family marries in the past, we will be ...... in the future If you suffer something and can't support you, they will make it difficult for you! ”

Speaking of this, the Lin family is angry, the matchmaker who has come to the door these days, none of the famous posts introduced are good! It's either a young man, or the relationship in the family is very complicated, or it's because of the current momentum of the Yi family! There is no one who is satisfied.

Yi Xiangxiang snatched the embroidery work from her mother's hand: "What kind of flowers are you embroidering at night, don't look back and burn your eyes!" Then she poured another glass for Lin and handed it over: "Then according to your request, this Kyoto is full of juniors?" ”

As far as she knew, more than half of the families in Kyoto were inquiring about their homes! She didn't expect that she was mediocre, but there would be such a sought-after day! Speaking of which, her mother was still married to her at the beginning!

She looked at her mother's frowning brow, well, now she is also worried.

"That's not the case, but at this juncture, I naturally suspect that they have bad intentions! And I don't want you to marry into any princely family, there are many rules, and you will be even more guilty! We started from a small family, and you are a bastard, if you go to those hairpin families, don't you find guilt for yourself! Lin said as he drank the water his daughter had poured out.

Since arriving in Kyoto, the Lin family feels that this day is not as relaxed as when he was in Tongzhou. At that time, although the official of his husband was not very big, at least he was the number one in Tongzhou, and he really didn't need to please anyone on weekdays.

But now it's different, there are nobles in the palace, and there are public mansions outside the palace, and there are many people who want to be respected! The Lin family knows the rules of each house, because she really hopes that her daughter will marry low, so that at least people will not dare to be embarrassed easily, and her daughter's life can be easier.

After Yi Xiangxiang poured water for her mother, she picked up the peony pattern embroidered by the other party to admire it, and when she heard this, she didn't let it:

"Mother, what you said! What a mess! Why can't I be stingy, really! ”

Lin put down the cup and snorted coldly: "Don't you just mess around!" Don't let me worry at all! ”

Yi Xiangxiang was speechless, her own mother deliberately counted her down, and she was inevitably scolded even more miserably, so she could only change the topic and said: "You just said that you are a knot, what knots?" ”

She put the embroidery down and poured herself a glass of water.

"You don't know?" Lin asked suspiciously, "I thought you knew!" ”

Huanxi Pavilion and Yi Luochuan rescued the driver together, and the Yi family brothers and sisters explained to the Lin family that Huanxi Pavilion was a friend from the rivers and lakes that Ren Feihong introduced to them. Later, Lin inquired and learned that this organization was engaged in intelligence trading, because she always felt that her son and daughter must know everything.

Yi Xiangxiang next to him smelled that he was stuck!

This...... Is it disliked?

Mother, you're a bit of a generalization!

And even if she knew something, she had to know which point she was referring to, right? There have been so many of them lately, how does she know which one refers to which, right? Yi Xiang Xiang belly slander.

Yi Xiangxiang was about to argue, but she saw that her mother-in-law was about to start talking, so she could only cooperate and say that she didn't know.

"Your father said, the saint's health has been getting worse and worse lately! It just so happened that at this time, His Royal Highness King An handed over the power again! This is not to be laid out later...... Is it because they are coming to have a relationship with us at this time, can they have anything to look forward to? Lin hinted.

The implication is obvious, that is, the saint is dying, and the prince is about to ascend the throne! The prince reuses Yi Luochuan again, and the Yi family will not have to worry about the glory and wealth in the future! It's those people who hurry up to climb the relationship, just want to get involved with the royal family!

Saint Zhao Zheng is not in good health, Yi Xiangxiang knows about this, but she is still very cooperative with her mother:

"Isn't the saint's body always healthy, why is it suddenly not good?"

Lin sighed, took the half-embroidered peony and said, "What's good, since that incident, the saint has been sick several times!" It's just that it's all hidden, and your father only found out about it when he was secretly summoned into the Imperial Cadre Palace yesterday! Don't talk about it! ”

She deliberately lowered her voice and explained.

Yi Xiangxiang nodded very cooperatively, saying that she must keep it secret: "Don't worry, mother, I know how to be measured!" ”

Lin looked at Yi Xiangxiang's solemn look, afraid that she would be nervous and comforted: "You don't have to worry, your father said that almost all the affairs in the court are handled by His Royal Highness the Prince, if there is a saint, the court will not be able to mess up." ”

She lowered her head and changed the silk thread, and continued to embroider the peony.

"You really don't have to worry, it's not normal to get sick! I heard that when the saint was young, he was both civil and military, and the body of those who practiced martial arts has always been strong. Yi Xiangxiang drank another glass of water and answered.

"You know what! Illness comes like a mountain, where is this accurate! Why do you think I'm in a hurry about your marriage? I'm afraid that if there is a case, I will be stuck in my throat! This one...... Right? The national mourning has been full for a year, and the good people have been picked up! Lin glared at Yi Xiangxiang angrily.

If there is a national funeral in the Rite Dynasty, where there is a lord's house, no feast music will be allowed within a year, and the common people will not be allowed to marry in March!

Although the Yi family does not have a title, it is Shangshu Mansion after all, so it is natural to mourn according to the highest specifications.

Yi Xiangxiang didn't expect her mother to take precautions to such an extent: "What's the point, even if the saint dies now, I can't delay it in the past two years?" How old am I! ”

What else do you say, everyone has picked it up! If your family guards the country and mourns, other people's homes will not be guarded? Yi Xiangxiang really doesn't understand her mother's brain circuit.

"Be careful!" Lin hurriedly slapped to stop Yi Xiangxiang: "If you can drag it, you can drag it, but no one is sure when!" What if this happens to be stuck at your age...... Right? Besides, it's not wrong to look at each other first and settle the matter! Your second aunt has been picking someone for your fifth sister in the past two days, don't you be able to do it! ”

"Hey, how can I care about my yellow flower girl!" Yi Xiangxiang replied to Lin's.

Lin stopped the embroidery work in his hand again and hummed, "Oh! Do you know you're a girl? ”

Speaking of which, Lin didn't want to talk to her daughter about her own family affairs before, but Lin remembered that when she first hinted, her daughter said bluntly and clearly that don't hide it, she is more frank than her! Since then, Lin has talked about it with his daughter, and it is not beating around the bush at all.

Yi Xiangxiang knew that she couldn't talk about her points anymore, otherwise there would be a bunch of complaints, so she hurriedly changed the topic:

"Who did the second aunt show the fifth sister?"

"I didn't pay much attention to it, but I heard that she has been inquiring about the draft, and this spring next year will not be a triennial draft. Hey, you say, your second aunt won't be so confused as to send Fu'er to the palace, right? ”

Speaking of this, the Lin family is really a little worried, recently the second room is a little paranoid, not only desperately urging her son to study, but also counting the daughter-in-law every day who is a hen that does not lay eggs! Scolding people, that language is extremely vulgar!

Every time the Lin family sees the Huang family appear with her daughter-in-law Li Yanping now, she can't wait to get out of the way, for fear that she will hear something unpleasant in the next second, and it is not persuasion or non-persuasion! She often slandered in her heart, saying that she didn't want to think about the Huang family, her son was rushed by her to study every day and rested in the study, so how could her daughter-in-law give birth to herself?

Eh, sometimes she really wants to stop this woman.

Of course, Lin also knew that this was not something for her to manage. But the Huang family shouted in the mansion when they saw the sky, which made people look at jokes and didn't tell them, and it also made her daughter-in-law Jiang Jingshan uncomfortable!

Lin was very helpless about this.

Yi Xiangxiang is actually annoyed by the Huang family's babbling every day, either forcing Yi Hanchen to study, or urging him to have a grandson! She felt that this Yi Hanchen was really miserable, after all, he was just in college when he was in college, and he was urged to give birth to a son every day!

Eh, Yi Xiangxiang is starting to miss modern times again.

However, the draft?

This second aunt is starting to make wishful thinking again?

Yi Xiangxiang pondered for a while and guessed the purpose of the Huang family, she snorted coldly and said: "The second aunt is not confused, she estimates that she really wants to get the fifth sister into the palace, but this palace is not the other palace!" ”

The saint is already a plate of daylily, and now in this Kyoto, who still stuffs his daughter into the arms of the saint!

Lin suddenly realized: "East Palace? ”

Yi Xiangxiang nodded, indicating that eight or nine would not leave ten.

"The second aunt saw that the eldest sister had no hope of climbing power, so she hit the fifth sister with the idea!" Yi Xiangxiang sneered.

Yi Ruonan entered the Four Princes' Mansion, but these four princes were named King An. What's more, King An has now become an idle prince, and he will go to the domain in the future.

Zhao Zixiu went to the domain, and Yi Ruonan, who was a concubine, was naturally a companion. Yi Ruonan is no longer in Kyoto, so he won't be able to give the Huang family any help in the future!

The three children born by the Huang family, Yi Ruonan now looks hopeless, Yi Hanchen can't fight for a while, and she naturally turns her attention to Yi Ruofu because of her love for vanity.

However, Yi Xiangxiang is not worried, at least with Shengshang's current body, he will definitely not be drafted next year, and Huang's wishful thinking will definitely be in vain. But even so, Yi Xiangxiang didn't want to drag it out any longer.

Early the next morning, Yi Xiangxiang asked Qingxuan to send a letter to Zhao Zixiu.

So on the morning of the same day, news came out from King An's Mansion that Princess Pei Yuyan was going to hold a flower-viewing banquet, and the time was set for seven days later.

Then, the posts of the flower viewing banquet in the Anwangfu fell into the major families like snowflakes, and the Anwangfu invited the sons and ladies of the powerful families in Kyoto. And although Zhao Zixiu no longer cares about the affairs of the court, Zhao Ziqian said that he will also participate in the banquet because on the day of the flower-viewing banquet, King An's Mansion is very lively!

King An's Mansion is the original Four Princes' Mansion, but it's just a different plaque.

The sunshine in autumn is mild, and it is in the name of flower appreciation, and it is a place for this banquet, which is naturally in the garden of Anwangfu.

A group of Yi siblings were invited, and when they entered the house, the garden pavilion was already full.

Pei Yuyan knew that her prince attached great importance to the Yi Mansion, and the seat left for them was still the closest to the main seat. After the Yi family sat down, the sons and ladies of the Guogong Mansion also came one after another.

So Zhao Zixiu, the king of An, appeared from the other end of the garden, and soon the concierge came to report, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the two side concubines were here.

The most revered status is the latest to appear! Yi Xiangxiang saw the legendary big name in ancient times.

She appointed everyone to salute with Zhao Ziqian and the two side concubines, and then saw Zhao Zixiu invite Zhao Ziqian to the main seat.

"The fourth brother doesn't need to be polite, today is the East of King An's Mansion. You are the master of the house, and it is up to you to sit in the seat. Zhao Ziqian said.

Seeing this, the people around praised the royal people's brotherhood, as well as Zhao Ziqian and Zhao Zixiu's brothers, friends, and brothers. After some flattery, Zhao Ziqian took Lin Zhimeng and Kang Ling and sat in front of Kang Rui and Xiong Wei, which also happened to be opposite the Yi family.

After everyone sat down, the cherry blossom feast officially began.

Princess Pei Yuyan, as the leader of this flower banquet, naturally invited everyone to raise a glass and drink together. After that, she said logically:

"This flower feast, there has to be some competition to be fun! However, we don't require everyone to participate, so if you want to compare, you can give it a try. ”

The people who come to the flower-viewing banquet are either heads and faces, or they are not enough to speak. And no matter which one it is, at this time, it will not refute the meaning of the master's family, so I saw that everyone echoed and agreed.

Seeing this, Pei Yuyan put down the horn cup carved from the pretty agate in her hand, and said dignified and delicate: "Today's banquet competition is divided into three parts, piano music, paintings, and poems, with the theme of "chrysanthemum"! The winner of each round can ask the people present for an artifact, can you dare to bet? ”

Her words caused a lot of discussion among the people below, and the one who shouted the most was Luo Baohua: "What dare you not bet on!" It is said that the city of Kyoto is full of talents, and today is the time to see the real chapter! ”

"What Luo Shizi said is not unreasonable, but this is not a chance of winning for Luo Shizi, right?" It was Duan Yi, the son of the Winning Mansion, who ridiculed Luo Baohua.

Luo Baohua casually grabbed a snow-white pebble and threw it at Duan Yi: "Stinky boy looks down on me? Wait a minute, I'll let you see the real kung fu of this world! ”

So, under the urging of Luo Baohua, the competition was carried out quickly.

First of all, the piano song, the people who are willing to participate in the competition play a song related to chrysanthemum, and everyone votes for the best.

Undoubtedly, the winner is naturally Lin Zhimeng, the side concubine of the East Palace.

There were a lot of participants in this scene, and many of them played songs composed by various famous artists, but none of them played that charm. And Lin Zhimeng's piano music is better than self-composed and self-performed, but it is still elegant! Although Yi Xiangxiang is not good at stroking the piano, she also reads the nobility of the chrysanthemum from her piano song.

is worthy of being the first talented woman in Kyoto, Yi Xiangxiang praised Lin Zhimeng in her heart.

Because it was previously stated that the winner could choose any one of the people present and ask him for an artifact. So Lin Zhimeng asked Zhao Ziqian for a piece of jade jade pendant hanging on his body, which caused the people around him to let out a burst of ambiguous laughter, which made Kang Ling pinch his nails with hatred.

The field was lively for a while, and then it calmed down awkwardly under Zhao Ziqian's ice cube face. Pei Yuyan adjusted the atmosphere very sensibly and started the second competition.

The second competition was a painting.

The contestants must draw on the spot, and the content must be related to chrysanthemums, and like the first one, the best will be voted by the people on the spot.

And in this competition, there are three paintings that are the best.

The first is the chrysanthemum painted by Sheng Changhong, a picture outlining nearly 100 kinds of patterns, which is very gorgeous.

The second is the red chrysanthemum painted by Yi Luochuan, which is very vivid from the brilliance of the pen to the color blending.

The third is Luo Baohua's wild chrysanthemum, which has only a few brushstrokes, and depicts a thatched hut with a fence around the front, and in this fence is planted a small daisy, where a little girl from a peasant family is picking flowers. On the other side of the thatched hut was a tombstone with a spear standing on the side of the monument.

In the final vote, the winner was Luo Baohua!

"Okay, you kid, hide it deeply!" Duan Yi also praised Luo Baohua very generously.

Luo Baohua waved his hand and pretended to be nothing, but his tone was still very proud: "This son is just low-key on weekdays!" Otherwise, this Kyoto's first talent, what is Sheng Changhong! ”

Before the Yi family entered Beijing, it was Sheng Changhong who was named the first genius in Kyoto.

In fact, Zhao Zixiu and Zhao Ziqian are also famous, but because of their status, no one dares to talk about them.

"Can you shut up, you, praise you twice and you will go to heaven? Tell me what utensils you want! Don't ask me for a snuffbox, I won't give it! Duan Yi played tricks on Luo Baohua.

Luo Baohua has coveted his agate for a long time, and he is really afraid that Luo Baohua will ask him if he wants it, so he hurriedly declared.

Luo Baohua scoffed at it: "Look at your little bit of talent!" Then he walked to the other side!

Yi Xiangxiang looked at Luo Baohua who came over opposite, and had a bad premonition in her heart.

Sure enough, Luo Baohua bit her ear at her: "I want that Ru glaze sea wave flower pen holder on your bookcase!" ”

"Luo Baohua, you can figure it out, if I hadn't leaked the question for you to let you paint this picture, you wouldn't have won at all!" Yi Xiangxiang gritted her teeth.

That's right, everything today was arranged by Yi Xiangxiang.

And a while ago, she and Luo Baohua were having dinner in Xile Building, and Yi Xiangxiang told him about the flower banquet plan of King An's Mansion and asked him to cooperate with him. At that time, Luo Baohua said that he wanted to be in the limelight, and Yi Xiangxiang handed over his painting.

Luo Baohua spread his hands: "If you don't give it to me, I'll say that I can only win if you leak the question!" ”

Yi Xiangxiang really wanted to tear Luo Baohua now, but after thinking of today's business, she could only say hatefully: "Give it!" I'll give! ”

After Luo Baohua got a satisfactory reply, he got up and returned to his position. After that, he said to Pei Yuyan: "Okay, what I want is coming!" Let's start the third one! ”

"Don't mind, you told me what you asked Miss Eight for?" Duan Yi coaxed.

Luo Baohua opened the folding fan and said arrogantly: "I won't tell you!" ”

So the people around me became more curious.

Of course, people who are familiar with Yi Xiangxiang's character have already guessed from the painful expression on the latter's face that Luo Baohua must have taken some valuable items from her!

Isn't it precious! That wave flower pen holder, but she spent a lot of money to get it!
