In the pavilion, Xiu'er invited all the ladies to sit down instead of the lord of Jining, and instructed the maid to bring tea and water.

Zhiwan sat there, looking at more than a dozen pairs of eyes, some curious, some envious, and some sympathetic...... And the disdainful.

I saw a girl in a sky blue skirt sitting opposite her, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be the fourth girl of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, it's really better to see than to hear!" ”

Zhiwan sneered silently, and another girl came over and said with a smile, "Mingzhu, you should really thank her, if she hadn't been bold enough to scare away King Yuejun, maybe you would really have to marry into the Zhennan Palace." ”

The county lord of Mingzhu laughed and picked up the tea ceremony, "Then I will thank you with tea instead of wine." ”

Zhiwan pulled the corners of her mouth before she picked up the teacup, and the lord of Mingzhu drank it himself, the gratitude in it was really pitiful, and turned to the girl who called her Mingzhu just now, "Jingyu, does your brother really want to marry her as a concubine?" ”

Lord Jingyu, the sister of the prince of Xiangwang, chuckled and said, "How can you marry, to be my sister-in-law, it is not enough to be bold." ”

The implication is that Zhiwan is only worthy of being a concubine for her eldest brother, in the pavilion, the rest of the ladies are smiling and silent, this is a clear thing, when she gave the king of Yuejun, she was not a side concubine, if she was a side concubine for the prince of Xiangwang, she would be promoted, and she could only be a concubine.

Although the county lord of Ji Ning couldn't speak, she could listen and watch, and knew that everyone didn't like to know the night, so she ridiculed her, so she pointed to the other people in the pavilion and asked Xiu'er to introduce her.

Xiu'er is very good at talking, and said with a smile, "The four girls must have heard of the Seven Immortals Dance, these seven are the Kyoto Seven Shows, this is the Lord of Mingzhu, this is the Lord of Jingyu, this is the eldest girl of the Chengguo Mansion, and this is the ......." ”

Qixiu is worthy of being the princess of the inner design. The princess has a prominent family background and a dignified appearance, and there are three county lords alone.

The rest of the girls are Qixiu's sisters. It's like Qin Zhiyu came with Zhiwan.

After getting to know each other, everyone sat down to discuss how the hibiscus banquet was held, and the lord of Mingzhu County said, "We have already danced the Seven Immortals Dance last year, and we have also danced in front of the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and we have lost our novelty, should we change the dance this year?" ”

Xu Wanzi, the concubine of the Marquis of Qingyang, was given the name of the county lord because of the deep love of the queen mother and the queen. I just listened to her, "It's good to change the dance, but the only ones I can dance best are "Seven Immortals Dance", "Haoyue" and "Amazing Dance". ”

Jingyu said, "Why don't we change "Amazing Dance", the Amazing Dance is very beautiful. If there were seven of us jumping, it would definitely be amazing. ”

Everyone unanimously agreed to dance the Thrilling Dance, but at this time, a voice came, "I don't dance well in the Thrilling Dance." ”

It was the eldest girl of the Chengguo Mansion who spoke, Hou Qingmiao, with a smoky embarrassment on her delicate face, and saw everyone looking at her. His face turned even redder, "What I said is true, I used to dance okay, I haven't skipped it for more than half a year, and I almost forgot it." ”

"What then?" One girl said, "We danced the Seven Immortals Dance because we all knew how to dance. In the past year, I haven't danced any other dances, and even if I used to, I'm a lot more rusty, so if I change it temporarily. Six days is not enough time for us to work together seamlessly. ”

A group of ladies were worried, they changed their dance to be temporary, but they didn't expect so many problems, if they still danced the Seven Immortals Dance, they couldn't win the first place at all.

"Okay, okay, let's discuss what dance to dance in a while, Princess Liuhua asked us to help the county lord of Jining find a way to make the hibiscus banquet more fun, do you have any good ideas?"

Everyone was thinking that Qiu's mother stepped in, holding a brocade box in her hand, and after greeting everyone, she said to Zhiwan, "This is what the princess asked the slave to send to the fourth girl." ”

Zhiwan was stunned for a moment, got up and took the brocade box, and then thanked him, Qiu's mother smiled, please help the county lord come up with ideas and organize this year's hibiscus banquet, in addition, no matter who comes up with a good idea, the princess will be rewarded.

After Qiu's mother left, Qin Zhiyu looked at Zhiwan, "Why did the princess give you something again?" ”

Where did Zhiwan know, when she opened the brocade box and saw that there was a bracelet inside, Zhiwan was even more puzzled, she dropped the bracelet, and when she picked up the bracelet, she found that it was a warm jade bracelet, which was more than a hundred times better than the previous one.

The county lord of Jining took the bracelet and helped Zhiwan put it on his wrist, then smiled, pulled Zhiwan to sit down, gestured with his hand, and asked her what to do with the hibiscus banquet.

Zhiwan came to Princess Liuhua's Mansion today, but she gained the most, the two bracelets that won the princess's reward, one was broken and one was given away, and the jade pendant given by the lord of Jining County was too eye-catching, which made many people jealous, especially Qin Zhiwen and Qin Zhiyu, who came with her, "Second sister, the princess values you so much, you haven't come up with a good idea, so she has rewarded you so much, you have to help think of a good idea!" ”

Qin Zhiyu even added to the fire, "Do you need to say this?" The fourth sister has a lot of ideas, just come out with two, and the hibiscus banquet will be very lively! ”

I know that I have never seen such a stupid person, even if I am jealous that she has been rewarded, I don't need to push her out in front of so many people, if she can't think of it, there will be light on their faces?

Xu Wanzi sneered, "No wonder the princess rewarded you so much, it turns out that you have a lot of ideas, so it's just right, we can't think of any good ideas after racking our brains, it's all up to you, I don't know what good ideas you have, let's hear it." ”

Zhiwan glanced at Qin Zhiwan, Qin Zhiwan had a gloating smile in her eyes, this time it depends on how you clean up, so I heard Zhiwan ask, "What did you play at last year's Hibiscus Banquet?" ”

Suddenly, a fluttering sound of laughter came out, it was Qin Zhiwen's, I really didn't expect her fourth sister to have such a scheming, and the person who asked with a fluttering sentence couldn't get off the stage, "Fourth sister, you asked the wrong person, the sixth sister has never participated in the hibiscus banquet, how do you know what she played last year, even if you know something, it's hearsay, you should ask the county lord!" ”

Qin Zhiyu bit her lip tightly, she couldn't wait to use the ice blade in her eyes to make her lose face in public, and go back and make you look good!

Xiu'er can see that Qin Zhiyu is making it difficult to know the night, and she is busy telling Zhiwan how the hibiscus banquet was held last year, Zhiwan listened, it was nothing more than a male and female talent show, because the male is the prince, the prince, the prince of the county, long and handsome, and the person they like, so they think it is fun. In Zhiwan's opinion, there is really nothing that attracts her, but it may be because she is not there.

Zhiwan raised his eyebrows and asked, "I thought the hibiscus banquet was held at night." Isn't it okay to hold it at night? ”

After Zhiwan finished speaking, she found that everyone was staring at her, and she knew that the night was black, and she forgot that this was ancient times, and there was no electric light at night, and there was a curfew, and it was taboo not to go home at night, and she couldn't help but laugh, "I just think it's beautiful to light lotus lanterns at night." When I didn't say ....... ”

The county lord of Jining's eyes widened, nodded again and again, and then looked at Xiu'er, Xiu'er said, "The county lord thinks it's very funny." ”

"Of course it's fun. The lantern festival is only once a year, and I look forward to it every year, but the hibiscus banquet used to be during the day, and it was suddenly changed to night, which was too strange, besides, except for the lantern festival and the palace. No one throws a party at night, right? ”

"That's right, but it's going to be fun at night, and I'd like to see it in the evening, but I'm afraid the princess won't agree."

Princess Liuhua disagreed, so what else to say, it was in vain. I didn't continue the topic anymore, but continued to discuss what to play, but to say, it was all played before, and there was nothing new.

Talking and talking. Qixiu turned the topic to the Seven Immortals Dance again, in fact, what kind of banquet was held, they didn't care too much, dancing well, making people appreciate and admire is the most important thing, there are only six days, you must change the dance.

"Why don't we go over there and try it?"

Hou Qingmiao proposed, and the other six hit it off.

Then, the pavilion was empty again, and there was still the county lord of Jining and two maids with him.

Xiu'er pouted, "Obviously, I was invited to help the county lord come up with ideas, but I came to practice the dance, and I didn't shout at the county lord, and the county lord's dance was also very good, not worse than theirs at all!" ”

When she knew that the night was her own person, Xiu'er didn't shy away from it, "It seems that you can help the county lord come up with ideas, four girls." ”

Poria endured for a long time without speaking, almost suffocating, there was no one else here, so she said, "Don't listen to the sixth girl and the second girl, my girl didn't even attend the banquet twice, where did she think of any good ideas." ”

Xiu'er's face turned red, not to mention that she would like to think about it later, she has never participated in the banquet, what do you think?

Poria wanted to see Qixiu's dance, but Baba looked at Zhiwan, and Zhiwan asked her to see it.

The county lord of Ji Ning supported his chin with both hands, his beautiful eyes blinked and closed, and he pulled Zhiwan to enjoy the flowers.

In the garden, there are a lot of rare and exotic flowers, the faint mixed floral fragrance is very intoxicating, there are many butterflies shuttling in the flowers, Xiu'er saw that the lord of Jining was in high spirits, asked her if she wanted to flutter butterflies, and then went to get the net pocket.

The county lord of Jining looked at a colorful butterfly, chased it forward, and asked Zhiwan to help her catch it, and the two ran after the butterfly.

The butterfly landed on a pot of peonies, the two of them tiptoed over, the county lord of Ji Ning smiled at Zhiwan, made a silent gesture, and was about to pounce over, who knew that at this time there was a voice coming, "The sun is dead, and the flowers are going back and forth, and the feet are numb." ”

"Who told you to go, if you are tired, you can go to the gazebo to rest for a while."

"I didn't go, I stayed with that dumb person, I didn't speak and was rude, I spoke, she was gesturing, who knows what she meant?"

"That's what I said, I don't like to stay with her, it's too depressing, the county lord of Jining is also fourteen this year, I heard that this time the hibiscus banquet, Princess Liuhua intends to marry her, I guess, there must be many young masters who will not come, what if Princess Liuhua takes a fancy to her and asks the emperor for marriage, who wants to marry a dumb person?"

"That's not necessarily, after all, the county lord of Jining has a prominent status, and there should still be many people who are willing to marry, but I heard that next month, Princess Ronghua's mansion will hold a hosta banquet, I heard the lord of Yunxiang say that even the queen mother and the queen will attend, and the limelight will definitely overshadow the hibiscus banquet at that time, and the scale is also larger than the hibiscus banquet, hundreds of invitations, but there is only one person in an invitation, and they must be invited to be concubines, which is like a hibiscus banquet, which is nondescript, even the concubines can also run, and the county lord of Jining also pours tea and cakes for a concubine, there is simply * Portion. ”

"What is this, didn't even Princess Liuhua reward two bracelets from others, didn't she just want us to blush, so that the county lord of Jining could play with her...... Are we such shallow-eyed people? ”

The two of them said as they walked, and they didn't find the county lord of Jining and Zhiwan a few meters away at all, until they heard movement, and when they turned around, they saw the county lord of Jining running away quickly, and Zhiwan was chasing after them, and the two of them immediately panicked, how could the county lord of Jining hear them talk!

The county lord of Ji Ning cried very sadly, few people would say that she was dumb in front of her before, but I didn't expect everyone to say this about her behind her back.

Zhiwan chased after him. She was panting when she ran, and the hem of her skirt was too low, and she almost stepped on it several times, and she was very curious. How could the county lord of Jining run so fast in a long skirt, just thinking about it, suddenly Zhiwan's heart was raised, and he saw the county lord of Jining planting forward......

Zhiwan was startled, and when she ran over, she saw that the hand of the master of Ji Ning County was cut, and her delicate face was full of tears.

Zhiwan is sad, who wants to be dumb. The feeling that I want to say something but can't say it, my heart is obviously very bitter, and I am being talked about behind my back, so I squatted down and hugged her. The county lord of Jining lay on Zhiwan's shoulder and cried.

When the county lord of Ji Ning had cried enough, and the crying stopped, Zhiwan helped her deal with the injuries on her hands, got the small pebbles inside, and took the medicine out of the purse she carried with her, and bandaged it again.

When it is dealt with, Zhiwan will help the county lord of Ji Ning to get up. But he reached out and grabbed the wrist of the county lord of Jining, and the county lord of Jining looked at her without blinking, and there were tears on her slender eyelashes, shining in the sun.

After Zhiwan took the pulse, he pulled the county lord of Ji Ning up and motioned her to open her mouth. The county lord of Ji Ning is not stupid, she knows that Zhiwan is showing her throat, although she is very puzzled, she still does it.

When Xiu'er and Poria came to find it, they were seeing Zhiwan and signaling the county lord of Jining to open his mouth wider. Xiu'er was busy drinking, but was stopped by Poria Cocos, "Don't talk nonsense, my girl is treating your county lord." ”

Xiu'er glanced at Poria Cocos, "The county lord's mute disease can't even be cured by the imperial doctor, but your girl can cure it?" ”

Poria straightened her back proudly, "Of course, my girl is not too good at medicine, but don't tell others about my girl's medical skills, and besides, my girl's medical consultation fee is a bit high, but she will be charged after she is cured." ”

Xiu'er glanced at Poria, didn't speak, walked directly towards Zhiwan, and asked, "Can the county lord's illness be cured?" ”

Zhiwan nodded, "It's not a big problem, I can prepare the medicine in the evening, and let the maid send it tomorrow, take it for three or five days, and then I can speak." ”

"Three or five days?!" Xiu'er looked at Zhiwan in surprise, "You didn't lie to our county lord?!" ”

The county lord of Jining looked at Zhiwan, but her hands were tightened, for fear that Zhiwan would say that she was joking, Zhiwan smiled, "Okay, what did I lie to you, the county lord just had his vocal cords injured by poison, and the toxin had not been removed, so he couldn't make a sound, and when the poison was resolved, she would be able to speak, but her throat had been injured for ten years, and the recovery might take a little longer, if it was good, it should be able to get better in half a month." ”

Poria couldn't help but say, "Don't believe it, wait for three or five days, and you'll know if it's true." ”

Xiu'er was about to cry out with joy, "The slave maid went to tell the princess, and the princess must be very happy if she knows!" ”

The county lord of Ji Ning grabbed her and shook her head, don't tell the mother concubine first, she was afraid that if she didn't get better, the mother would be even more sad, but Xiu'er thought that she would know that the medical skills of the party would be hidden, if she told the princess, she couldn't hide it, and nodded at the moment, as long as the county lord's voice could speak, what would it matter if she didn't tell her, if the county lord suddenly spoke, the princess would definitely faint happily.

The county lord of Ji Ning pulled Zhiwan forward, gesturing all the way, Xiu'er explained, "The county lord will persuade the princess to postpone the hibiscus banquet until the evening. ”

Zhiwan hurriedly said no, in case because of her proposal, the hibiscus banquet was not done, she couldn't explain it, Xiu'er smiled, "The fourth girl just mentioned it, it is our county lord who intends to hold it at night, but unfortunately those ladies are beautiful, the county lord can't count on it, and ask the four girls to work harder, help the county lord think about how to hold it, and definitely can't be compared to the hairpin banquet that Princess Ronghua's mansion has not yet held." ”

Xiu'er said, the county lord of Jining begged and looked at Zhiwan, she proposed to hold a hibiscus banquet at night, and Zhiwan was not easy to refuse, so she nodded and agreed, and the happy county lord of Jining pulled her to compare.

Xiu'er explained on the side, lanterns, flower boats......

Then asked Zhiwan if she had any good ideas, Zhiwan really couldn't think of it for a while, so she just said that she would go back and think about it, and thought of asking the maid to tell her that now she wanted to see the venue where the banquet was held, and the county lord of Jining was busy pulling her to see it.

The more you look at it, the higher the interest of Zhiwan, the lotus flowers that fill the lake can just place a big stage in the center of the lake, and dancing on it must be beautiful.

Zhiwan casually mentioned two sentences, which made Xiu'er open her eyes, especially stepping on the lotus leaf on the test table, how is this possible, how can the lotus leaf drag down a person's weight, it will become a soup chicken.

Zhiwan smiled lightly, she didn't say that it was already very conservative to let the county lord of Ji Ning go directly from the water, six days, it can only be like this, if it is given to her for a month......

A few people were sitting in the pavilion by the lake, blowing the wind, and a maid over there came over and saluted, "County Lord, the princess asked you to take the Pearl County Lord to the main house." ”

The county lord of Ji Ning nodded, went to the garden to find the pearl county lord and them, and went to the main house to find Princess Liuhua together.

Princess Liuhua drank tea elegantly and said with a smile, "How is the discussion?" ”

The county lord of Mingzhu said a few proposals, Princess Liuhua nodded, thinking it was very good, at this time, the county lord of Ji Ning went up and sat down next to her mother, and gestured several times, Princess Liuhua frowned slightly, "What is that?" ”

Xiu'er hurriedly said, "Princess, the county lord is talking about fireworks, colorful, which can explode in the air, which are more beautiful than flowers." ”

"Is there such a thing? Why haven't you seen it before? Princess Liuhua frowned.
