When I entered the hall, a burst of fragrance came to my nose. An Ge looked at the neat and orderly tables and chairs in the hall, and looked at the colorful plates and plates of delicate dishes made of flowers displayed on the table, and his heart was also full of curiosity.

The Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet, she had only heard of it in Xining Palace before, but she had never seen it with her own eyes. Now, seeing the colorful table full of colors, An Ge is still amazed. It seems that all the flowers in the world can be put on a plate. For a while, several palace ladies rushed in again, each holding a crystal glass pot in their hands. The elegant and attractive aroma of wine immediately spread throughout the entire Ronghua Hall.

I don't know who it is, but I smelled the aroma of the wine and praised: "This is the rose wine made by the palace." ”

Ange smelled it. She thought: Such a clear taste is a bit like the osmanthus candied wine that everyone in Xining loves to drink.

The deacons and eunuchs invited the girls present to sit down. An Ge's seat was right next to Yao Jing's daughter, Yao Lingyu.

Yao Lingyu was originally a demure person, and when he saw An Ge beside him, he also looked quiet as usual, and couldn't help but smile and ask: "I don't know how old this sister is?" ”

An Ge saw someone next to him calling, and saw a young girl of the same age as himself, and couldn't help but smile back: "I just turned seventeen this year." Sister, what about you? ”

Yao Lingyu nodded and said, "Coincidentally, I'm seventeen this year." ”

She asked An Ge about her birthday again, adding: "It seems that you were born a few days later than me, and you were all born around early August." In this way, we are still fateful. ”

An Ge kept his mission in mind, and after listening to Yao Lingyu's words, he also replied with a smile: "Yes! When my sister said this, I also think it's a bit fate! ”

Yao Lingyu asked An Ge's name again, and An Ge also told him one by one. From Yao Lingyu's mouth, An Ge knew that she was the only daughter of a generation of Confucian Yao Jing. When the wine and food have been served, the Queen of Eternal Night has also led the crown prince Yujin, Yanwang Yuzan, and Han Wang Yujun to the palace. When the queen saw the many young girls in the palace, she was already seven or eight points happy.

The deacons and eunuchs passed on the long word again.

An Ge left his seat with the other girls and kowtowed to the queen and the prince to thank him. This day is also a coincidence, after the Emperor of the Eternal Night saw Yuzan, this headache that he had not suffered from for a long time recurred. Lying on the dragon couch, lazy, I don't want to go anywhere, and I don't want to move to the Wanhua Banquet.

When the queen came, the emperor only excused herself and said: the old illness has relapsed, she can't attend the banquet, and the queen is asked to take care of everything by herself.

The queen was helpless, so she cheered up and only took the prince, King Yan, and King Han. She sat in the main seat of the main hall, and the crown prince was on the right. King Yan and King Han are second to the crown prince. Yuzan sat beside the desk, absent-minded, just looking for An Ge Fangrong among the warblers who were worshipping on the ground.

The queen glanced around the hall and looked at the kneeling girls: "Get up, don't be restrained, just treat this place as your own home." After the queen finished speaking, she looked at the prince and said slowly: "Jin'er, when these girls present their talents, you will watch carefully." Hongu thinks that there are always one or two that can get into your eyes. "The Prince of Eternal Night is the queen's own child, but what is unbelievable is that the prince Yujin has not had a good relationship with the queen since he became an adult. In the past few years, the prince has been alone in the East Palace, and he is even more estranged from his mother.

Yu Jin listened, thought for a while, and said: "Erchen, I hope that today's move can be as the queen mother wants." Yu Jin's face was respectful, but her mouth was light.

An imperceptible smile crossed the corner of Yu Zhan's mouth, because he looked at Yu Jin: "Big brother, I heard that in this Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet, there are a few girls who are indeed stunning. ”

Yu Jin was still indifferent: "Second brother, don't force everything, you always have to obey my heart." ”

When the queen heard this, she looked at Yuzhan and reminded him: "Zhan'er, you and Jun'er are not young. After the prince is selected, the palace will also choose a suitable princess for the two of you. ”

Yuzan stood up and replied: "This is the private matter of the son-in-law, and the queen mother doesn't have to worry about the son-in-law." After all, the matter of the eldest brother is more important. ”

The queen looked at Yu Zhan and said, "Zhan'er, you are older, you are really more sensible, and you always think about your brother." This brother and brother are respectful, and it will be maintained in the future. The queen looked at Han Wang Yujun again.

Yuzan's biological mother is called Concubine Yun. Han Wang Yujun's biological mother, but her identity is low. Before giving birth to Yujun, she was just a palace maid who served in front of the palace. After giving birth to Yujun, she died of postpartum wind, and it was the emperor who hugged Yujun and raised her personally like the prince. However, what is the relationship between the queen and the king of Han, outsiders don't know at all.

When Yujun saw the queen looking at her, she laughed: "Queen Mother, Erchen has always respected her brother." If the queen mother wants her son to choose a concubine, the son will also act according to the mother's wishes. ”

The queen also smiled: "It was raised by this palace single-handedly, and it is really filial." The implication is that he politely refuses to Yuzan, and he is unhappy.

Yu Zhan knew what the queen meant, and said in a roundabout way: "Brother Jun, everyone has their own ambitions, and this cannot be forced. ”

The queen was finally displeased: "Zhan'er, I want you to get married, it's not the intention of one person in this palace." Your father said the same. Do you really not want to marry a wife and have children in this life? ”

"The son knows what the queen mother means. It's just a marriage event, and it's not child's play after all. ”

The queen snorted coldly. In the end, it is not biological, after all, it is separated from her by a layer of belly. Now looking at his temperament, he is becoming more and more like that cloud slut.

The queen said, "That's fine." Your father also knows your character. It's good or not, even if you can pass your father's level, this palace doesn't want to ask more. He took a sip of wine, and was silent.

Seeing that the atmosphere was deadlocked, Yu Jin buffered: "Second brother, the queen mother also cares about you, and you don't thank the queen mother much." ”

The queen looked at the crown prince and said coldly: "This palace doesn't need King Yan's care. All right. When these girls below have run out of wine and food, they will go to the palace one by one and perform for the palace! After thinking about it, the queen said, "Prince, your eyes need to be kept open. This palace doesn't believe it, there is no beauty in this! ”

Yu Jin said gently: "Erchen believes in the vision of the queen mother. ”

Yuzan finally found An Ge's shadow in a group of beautiful people. It's not hard to find her. Just because her outfit is the most elegant. Although the queen said that they would be invited to take care of themselves, but in the end, there were three princes sitting in front of the palace, and these young ladies who were deep boudoirs were even more restrained in their words and actions. In the whispered conversation, their eyes peeked towards the front of the hall.

Oh, yes. can enter the eyes of the prince, of course, it is creation. However, even if you can't, it seems that it is not bad to be able to enter the mansions of King Yan and King Han and become a princess. It doesn't necessarily have to be a concubine, even if it is a side concubine, it can be regarded as a wish. After all, the three princes in front of the palace are all outstanding in appearance. Therefore, except for An Ge, the girls who sat at the table were all ape-hearted.

An Ge didn't know what Yao Lingyu's mood was at this time. Anyway, from entering the main hall to the queen's entry into the hall, Yao Lingyu has always maintained a calm posture. Finally, after the banquet, the queen said slowly: "Okay." Ladies and gentlemen, the banquet is over, it's time for you to leave the table and show your talents, and the palace can't wait to enjoy your performance. ”

The prince also saw a lot of people, and it was really laborious to perform one by one like this, and he was not so interested in appreciating them one by one. The prince said: "Queen Mother, there are many people today. It is better to divide them into four columns, which are from east to west, and they are tested by piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Take the top three in each column and summarize a total of 12 people to be eligible for selection. This is what the son meant. ”

According to Yujin's thoughts, if there are no favorite women, it is better to send them out of the palace as soon as possible, so that he can return to the East Palace to copy the picture books he got from the people. Although the queen mother has great expectations for herself, Yujin only wants to be the idle person. It's just that after ascending to the throne of the crown prince, in this life and this life, I am afraid that such a long-cherished wish will not be realized.

Yuzan listened to the prince's words, and his eyes flickered.

The queen bowed: "Jin'er, your proposal is good." It is not only labor-saving and worry-free, but also easy to pick out the people who can be carried. Tell the order to go down, and do so. ”

The deacons and eunuchs received the order, and they went down to proclaim.

Yuzan was groaning in her heart: Although she has been with An Ge for more than a month, she doesn't know anything about her piano skills and other talents. This piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I don't know if she can deal with it? Thinking about it, Yuzan couldn't help but shake her head again. Xiang An Ge is also a dignified princess of a country, and she has been taught by many skilled people since she was a child, as long as she is a little careful, she is afraid that she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Yuzan looked at An Ge in the crowd and knew that she was placed in the calligraphy column.

Although the two were far apart, somehow, they seemed to know what Yu Chan was thinking, and An Ge couldn't help but glance up at Yu Chan. Yuzan's gaze greeted, and the two of them understood.
