The Hundred Flowers Festival mentioned by Ruan's mouth is a unique festival in the capital, on this day, from the royal family to the common people, they will enjoy the flowers and set up a banquet to worship the god of flowers, in order to seek good weather and blessings. Gradually, the palace also regarded the Hundred Flowers Festival as an important day for the royal family to gather and have fun.

Because of the annual Hundred Flowers Festival** Some concubines with status will also attend, so even the royal family is not everyone is qualified to participate, and the princes and princes are naturally no problem, but their families can only follow the wife of the main family and the children of the concubines to participate in the banquet together.

The rules in the palace are very strict, and the identity and qualifications are also exquisite, and they must not be broken in the slightest. Just like Xia Yuhua, although her father is the general king, she is also the eldest daughter, but because Xia Dongqing is just a king with a different surname, only Xia Dongqing himself can enter the palace to participate, and Xia Yuhua is not qualified.

And this time, the emperor actually named her to participate, which seems to be not so simple. Xia Yuhua couldn't help but start worrying, she suddenly found that while she was trying to change the fate of her previous life, many people and things that had not been there before slowly appeared and changed. What made her even more uneasy was that she had no way of predicting whether everything would be good or bad, and in what direction it would continue to develop.

"Aunt Mei, can I not participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet?" Xia Yuhua couldn't help but ask Ruan's family, but there was a little luck in his heart.

However, Ruan's reply did not give her any more room to be lucky: "Yuhua, don't you want to go?" If that's the case, I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome, after all, this time the emperor appointed you to participate, if there is no special reason, you can't go away. ”

Seeing that Xia Yuhua's expression seemed to be a little strange, Ruan Shi thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, when the master comes back, you can ask him again, you know that Aunt Mei doesn't know much about these things." ”

"Okay, I got it." Xia Yuhua nodded, but he didn't discuss this with Ruan's again, Ruan's was right, it would be better to discuss some things directly with his father.

After sending Ruan away, Xia Yuhua didn't even read the book anymore, and kept thinking about the Hundred Flowers Banquet in her mind, when suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly as if she had thought of something, she suddenly stood up, raised her legs and went outside.

"Miss, Miss, where are you going at night?" Seeing this, Feng'er hurriedly followed while asking, and she didn't know what this master suddenly wanted to do.

"I'm in a hurry, I have to go to my dad!" Xia Yuhua also went back and forth, but the speed under his feet was getting faster and faster.

Feng'er couldn't catch up, and said loudly behind her: "Miss, hasn't the master come back yet, where are you going to find him?" ”

Xia Yuhua didn't think about it so much, at this moment she was already like a mirror in her heart, it seems that the Hundred Flowers Banquet is really not something that can be avoided by simply avoiding it, if you don't find a fundamental solution, I'm afraid you will have to face it sooner or later.

was out of the small garden, but saw Xia Dongqing coming over, and saw Xia Yuhua rushing out with a fierce face, Xia Dongqing hurriedly said while walking: "Yuhua, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

"Daddy, my daughter is trying to find you!" Xia Yuhua was overjoyed, but he didn't expect to meet him here.

"Didn't Daddy just come back, your Aunt Mei asked the concierge to tell me that I would come to you directly as soon as I came back, what the hell is going on, look at what kind of urgency you have become!"

"Daddy, let's go back to the house." Xia Yuhua couldn't say it for a while, so he simply helped Xia Dongqing to go back.

After entering the house, she sent Feng'er out again, and then said straight to the point: "Daddy, Aunt Mei said earlier that the emperor appointed me to participate in this year's Hundred Flowers Banquet, and the more my daughter thought about it, the more strange she felt, so she was anxious to discuss it with you." ”

"That's it?" When Xia Dongqing heard this, he looked relieved, and said with a smile: "What else should I do, it turns out that this is it, it's just an ordinary palace banquet, what can be weird, Yuhua, are you thinking too much?" ”

Xia Yuhua shook his head and said quite seriously: "Daddy, my daughter feels that this matter is not so simple. Think about it, such a banquet, your daughter is not qualified to participate, and I have never seen the emperor make an exception to let her daughter participate in it before, but this time on the occasion of the Northwest Garrison, you specially named your daughter to participate, don't you really think there will be any other reason? ”

Hearing Xia Yuhua's words, Xia Dongqing, who didn't pay much attention to it, also fell silent, Yuhua's words reminded him that the Son of Heaven's grace can never be without a reason, is it possible, does it have anything to do with him?

After a while, Xia Dongqing looked at Xia Yuhua and said, "Yu'er, the former emperor has already made the final decision on the matter of the northwest garrison. As you might expect, the final decision didn't really affect the overall strength of the Northwest garrison to maintain stability on the border, and Daddy didn't give the emperor or anyone else a chance to catch me because he listened to your advice. And on the same day, after the dispersal of the dynasty, the emperor left his father alone and said that he would let you participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet. Is it ......?"

Xia Dongqing didn't say any more, but the flicker in his eyes already revealed his worry.

Xia Yuhua saw that his father finally thought of it, nodded and said again: "This time, the emperor originally wanted to find his father's stubble through the matter of the northwest garrison, so as to take the opportunity to contain you, but he didn't get the expected result. The Son of Heaven controls people, but there are only two most basic methods, either suppression or co-optation, anyway, no matter what he wants to do, the ultimate goal is nothing more than to make him feel at ease. ”

"As a king with a different surname, the reward for his father is now rich enough, but it is impossible to go any further. It is impossible for the emperor to give his father the opportunity to grow stronger, but if he has to win over and show goodwill, he must only show favor in other aspects. As a father, there is only one daughter like you, and now you are fifteen years old, and I specially summoned you to the palace this time, for fear that I want to make a fuss about your marriage. ”

Xia Dongqing is not stupid, and quickly analyzed the mystery of this. It's just that the mystery is easy to guess, but the matter is difficult to solve. If the emperor really gave marriage in public at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, then no matter which family it is, he has no way to resist the decree.

He is such a precious daughter as Yu'er, and he naturally doesn't want to be wronged by this major event in life, although the emperor's marriage will definitely not be bad for the other party's background, but no one can guarantee it in other aspects, let alone whether he can be sincere to his daughter.

His thoughts in this life are very simple, he doesn't want Yuhua to be rich and rich in the future, he just wants someone who can be worth dragging his life on, and treat his daughter well for a lifetime, which is enough.

"It's okay if it's just a simple marriage, no matter what, there is still room for negotiation, I'm afraid I'm only afraid of ......" Xia Yuhua paused, and said with a solemn face: "I'm afraid that this time it's not a simple marriage." ”
