The day of the flower feast has finally arrived, Lai Detian is beautiful, today is cloudless, the sun is sunny and warm, and the peony flower garden is also competing for beauty, purple and red, but it is not as moving as the young and delicate girl.

The eight nobles who entered the palace for the banquet this time were all thirteen to sixteen years old, all of them were wearing gorgeous flag uniforms, and the flag buns were neatly combed.

These Eight Banners ladies are all well-behaved, when they arrive in the palace, no one dares to take advantage of their family background, everyone is quiet and well-behaved, occasionally someone talks, but also whispers, more people are looking at the placket, or take out a small mirror to touch up makeup, the purple and red peonies around them can not attract the attention of these Eight Banners.

Everyone's eyes were on the road leading to Bitong Academy, and they all waited quietly for the arrival of the most noble woman.

Soon, in the expectation of everyone, the bright yellow nine phoenix crank canopy came into view, the two eunuchs bowed down and carried the gilded sinister incense furnace to open the way, and the first four eunuchs steadily carried a gorgeous carved mahogany phoenix, bright yellow phoenix umbrellas, phoenix fans clustered, above the phoenix chariot is a woman wearing a bright yellow auspicious dress.

The chief eunuch Su Peisheng raised his voice and said: "The queen has arrived!" Concubine Yu is here! ”

A group of nobles from the Eight Banners bowed down one after another, and asked for a gentle voice: "See the queen's mother, the queen's mother is a thousand years old!" See Concubine Yu, Niang Niang Wan Fu Jin'an! ”

Yao Jiaxin got off the phoenix chariot and saw the ...... kneeling on the ground Lori.

The eldest is only sixteen years old, isn't it just a group of Lori!

Concubine Yu also got down from the back of the concubine seat, took the initiative to help Yao Jiaxin, and diligently and respectfully helped her into the peony pavilion.

After Yao Jiaxin sat down, she raised her hand.

Wang Yicheng immediately shook off his ups and downs, and raised his voice: "Niang Niangyi, everyone is flat!" ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother!"

The beautifully dressed Loli got up and stood obediently outside the Peony Pavilion.

Yao Jiaxin was not in a hurry to speak, she picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea to moisten her throat.

Concubine Yu was full of smiles, "This year's peony garden is more lively than in previous years. ”

Yao Jiaxin said with a smile: "Then call Hongxu and Hongday over too, let's be lively together." ”

The nobles of the Eight Banners near the Peony Pavilion are all of the highest origins, and they all listen to it really well, and they can't help but be secretly happy, thinking that even if they can't be selected as the sixth elder brother's Fujin, the fifth elder brother is also a good choice.

Although Concubine Yu felt that the elders could call the shots for such a major matter, she did not dare to disobey the middle palace, and nodded with a smile: "It is still the queen's mother who is thoughtful." ”

As she spoke, Concubine Yu glanced outside the pavilion and said with a smile: "I don't know how the queen plans to take the school for these girls?" ”

Yao Jiaxin smiled, for the women of the boudoir, it is rare to take the school needlework, but Yao Jiaxin feels that it doesn't matter whether the needlework is good or bad, and there is no shortage of needlework and thread people to call for the prince.

He instructed Wang Yicheng: "Go and prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and let these girls paint according to the scene." ”

Peony flower is a must learn to learn Chinese painting, the surname of the family will definitely be painted, but if it is a lower family, most of them pay attention to "women are not talented is virtue", Yao Jiaxin also wanted to embarrass these women, so he added: "Needlework is also prepared, if you can't paint, you can embroider anything." ”

"Got it!" Wang Yicheng quickly retreated, and ordered someone to get the four treasures and needlework in the study, not only to paint, Wang Yicheng asked someone to carry more than a dozen tables, as for the chair is gone, in front of the queen, where are ordinary people qualified to sit?

Soon, the show girls below began to get busy one by one.

Yao Jiaxin secretly looked at it in her eyes, her words, the nobles of the Eight Banners who were close to them heard it really well, and naturally understood that she, the queen, wanted to take the school entrance examination to learn, followed by the female celebrity. Therefore, these top-notch show girls have chosen to paint, while most of the distant Gege, who comes from medium-class families, chose needlework.

It is roughly estimated that at least seventy percent of needlework is done!

Yao Jiaxin sighed, feeling slightly regretful.

These little girls present, the lowest family background is at least the daughter or sister of a fifth-grade official, and there is even a lack of daughters of extremely popular ministers and big families, obviously they should be a group of little girls with the highest level of education.

As a result, less than 30% of people picked up a brush.

The show girls were busy, Yao Jiaxin and Concubine Yu were talking and laughing, drinking tea and eating exquisite snacks, but they were also at ease.

At this time, the eunuch Xiao Tang stepped forward to report: "Master Niangniang, the fourth princess is here." ”

Yao Jiaxin was stunned, didn't Hongli have her first period? Don't you have a good rest, but you actually came to see the pretty little girls?

Yao Jiaxin's face was a little strange.

I saw Hongli wearing a neat sky blue cloud brocade uniform, her face was not powdered, and her face was facing the sky, in the past, she always had a ruddy little face, but today her face is no longer ruddy, which can be seen because of blood loss.

"Erchen Hongli greets the emperor's mother! Say hello to Concubine Yu! Hongli walked into the pavilion quickly and saluted generously.

Yao Jiaxin smiled and looked at the young and lovely little princess in front of her, and her smile was even bigger, "Haven't you been feeling bad these two days?" Why don't you have a good rest? ”

Hongli's face rose slightly, and her smile was a little stiff: "Thank you for the care of the emperor, the sons and daughters are not in the way." ”

Yao Jiaxin's smile was full of concern, "Even if it's not in the way, you should add more clothes." "This Hongli little princess is only wearing a single coat, not even a cloak, which is really a little thin.

Saying that, Yao Jiaxin indifferently glanced at the beautiful little palace maid standing beside Hongli, and ordered, "Why don't you go back and pick up a thick cloak for your princess." ”

The little palace maid Xinlan hurriedly bent her knees and said, "Yes, the slave will go!" With that, he quickly exited the Peony Pavilion, trotting all the way with his skirt, as anxious as if he was something.

Concubine Yu's eyes were sharp, and she saw that the back of the little palace maid's right hand was wrapped in gauze, so she asked casually: "This is the palace maid who passed on the special diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor?" ”

Hong Li hurriedly explained: "Huang Eniang, Concubine Yu, yesterday was not good for her sons, and she was not happy for a while, so she knocked over the tonic soup, which burned the back of Xinlan's hand. Erchen couldn't help it, so he passed on the imperial doctor. ”

Yao Jiaxin smiled and quipped: "You are a pity for the jade!" ”

Hearing this, Hong Li's heart suddenly beat fast, and she pretended to be indifferent and said: "Although Xinlan is just a palace maid, after all, she is a palace maid given by the emperor's mother to her son, so she is naturally different from others. ”

Concubine Yu smiled and said, "The fourth princess is filial. "——Given by the elders, not to be despised is indeed filial piety for the children of people. It's just that a palace maid is valued so much, it's inevitable that it's a little ......

Hong Liwan smiled and immediately changed the topic: "The peony garden is so lively today, Erchen is really a person who can't hold back, so come and take a look." Saying that, Hong Li showed an apologetic look, "Erchen is bothering the emperor and Concubine Yu?" ”

Yao Jiaxin smiled and said, "Don't worry, you want to come too, just to help Bengong and Concubine Yu palm their eyes together." ”

Hongli was overjoyed, and hurriedly responded with a smile "yes", swept her eyes, and showed a look of surprise: "Why didn't the sixth brother and the fifth brother come?" ”

Yao Jiaxin said: "I have sent someone to the study to call, and I will come in a while." ”
