The Hundred Flowers Banquet is located in Qichun Garden, the second largest courtyard in the back garden. Just behind the rockery group of the mountain gate, it covers an area of more than 20 acres, the hall and the pavilion are very luxurious.

Since five days ago, the big eunuch has taken the maid and the mother-in-law to clean up.

Princess Cheng and Han Xiao jointly attended the selection of the side concubines, so naturally there can be no sloppiness.

On the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the Wu family came early, and the maiden was still busy making the final preparations.

Looking around, Wu smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's Qichun Garden, it's really beautiful." ”

Among the many gardens in the back garden of Yanwangfu, Qichun Garden has a similar function to the Kyushu Qing Banquet, and is used on important occasions. Usually, the gate of the garden is locked, and it will only be opened when there is an event.

On big days like Chinese New Year's Eve and Mid-Autumn Festival, when the master is interested, he will also set up wine at the Kyushu Qing Banquet.

This Qichun Garden is the first time she has opened since she entered the house.

The future side concubine Niangniang has a big face.

"I've seen the princess of the county." Su Huaiyu could hear the report and walked over quickly to greet him.

When Wu saw her, he smiled and said, "It turned out to be a female official Su, and she came over early in the morning to be busy, it's really hard." ”

Su Huaiyu's life experience, she is already clear.

The former companion of the county lord of Anhua is definitely not a friend, but it is not an enemy, and she is not sure.

"I don't dare to say it's hard." Su Huaiyu said.

Wu said with a smile: "First I cleaned up the Linglong Pavilion and the autumn land of Pinghu Lake, and now I am helping to clean up the Qichun Garden. This Guo Changshi is too, and he is simply sending you hard work. Or has Guo Changshi already said that you will serve by the side of the prince in the future? ”

"Guo Changshi does have this intention." Su Huaiyu said, "I just don't know if the prince will think the courtiers are stupid." ”

Wu continued to smile and said: "The prince doesn't know this, in fact, the prince has always cared about the affairs of the backyard. ”

Su Huaiyu is really on an errand beside Han Xiao, the female official is not an ordinary subordinate, and the master can't be called casually.

At this time, the former companion of the county lord of Anhua came to Han Xiao's side, and it was not a good thing to think about it.

Maybe this is Princess Cheng's arrangement?

This Su Huaiyu, if he plans to be an undercover agent, is he too long?

"I entered the house to seek a glimmer of life, and the prince does not dislike it, it is my creation." Su Huaiyu said without being salty.

Wu couldn't help but glance at her, it may be the relationship between her background and the general, Su Huaiyu's aura is really unusual.

The words that were originally begging for mercy came out of her mouth, and they actually carried a toughness.

Can't be provoked, can't be provoked.

"Yo, the princess of the county came so early."

Suddenly, it turned out to be Cheng Yuanniang's voice.

Wu turned around to look and saw Cheng Yuanniang helping the girl over. Although he was dressed up with makeup, he couldn't suppress the haggard under his eyes.

Obviously he is still very young, but when he is young, he has a dead breath all over his body.

Life is obviously very good, why do you want to worry about yourself?

also demoted the loyal and capable Zhou Xijia and no longer let her take care of things. I don't distinguish between good and bad, and I can die like this, I'm afraid that my life won't last long.

"I've seen the princess." Su Huaiyu saluted.

Cheng Yuanniang didn't even look at Su Huaiyu, but said, "No courtesy." ”

"The princess came so early." Wu said with a smile.

Cheng Yuanniang glared at Wu and said, "It's not as early as the princess of the county." ”

"I woke up early today, and I thought that I had never been to Qichun Garden, so I came over in advance to have a look." Wu smiled and said, "Otherwise, if the banquet is opened, but I don't know the way, wouldn't it be a joke." ”

Cheng Yuanniang sneered when she heard this, and said, "I'm obviously worried that I can't sleep, but I make this excuse." Sure enough, it came out of the sea merchant's family, and the little family was angry. ”

Su Huaiyu looked at Cheng Yuanniang with a little surprise, is this going to tear it in person?

"Whoever is worried can't sleep, who knows it." Wu was still smiling, but said to Su Huaiyu: "Let Female Officer Su see the jokes, if you stay for a long time in the future, I'm afraid that you will see more jokes." ”

Su Huaiyu pursed her lips and didn't make a sound.

"I'll go outside and take a walk, less accompaniment." Wu said with a smile and turned to leave.

Cheng Yuanniang looked at her back and sneered: "Pretending, something!" ”

Su Huaiyu looked at Cheng Yuanniang again, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she really couldn't believe that such Cheng Yuanniang would be Princess Cheng's maiden niece.

There are strong genes, but this IQ is too different.

"Lady Su." Cheng Yuanniang suddenly turned to Su Huaiyu.

Su Huaiyu said: "The courtiers are here." ”

"Since this side concubine must be chosen, it must be done decently." Cheng Yuanniang said.

Su Huaiyu didn't know what he meant, and said, "Yes." ”

Cheng Yuanniang finished giving the order, turned around and left.

Su Huaiyu couldn't figure out in her heart the intention of Cheng Yuanniang's instructions, whether she was planning to make trouble.

The spring banquet prepared by Guo Changshi himself, if Cheng Yuanniang really makes trouble, then there will be a real drama to watch.

The spring banquet starts at noon, but the twelve daughters of the candidates must not be stuck. Coming over one after another in about a while, accompanied by the people of Yanwang's mansion, you can enjoy the flowers and drink tea in the Qichun Garden.

If you are in the mood, you can also recite poems and paint, embroider needlework, although it is not explicit, talent is also considered.

When the background is similar and the appearance is similar, it is common to consider talent and affection.

It's like an additional question, whether you do it casually or not, but it certainly doesn't hurt to do it.

"Miss Nian arrives at ......"

The little eunuch guarding the door passed the word, and Nian Ruolan slowly walked into the door, feeling very entangled.

She was the first to arrive, which is also the meaning of my sister Nian. With her conditions, it is simply impossible for a serious selection to be shortlisted.

was originally going through the back door, and Wu had promised to ask for her. At this time, she just needs to be honest, be the first to come, and then find a place to sit honestly.

The age has been exceeded, and there is no talent, so it is better to be honest than to be an eyesore in the flowers and be ridiculed for going through the back door.

"It's so early." Wu said with a smile.

Although in order to avoid Cheng Yuanniang, she walked outside for a while, but it was estimated that someone was coming, so she naturally wanted to come over.

This time the side concubine was selected, Shen Xiu would definitely be shortlisted, and if she couldn't figure out this draft, it was for her.

But besides her, there must be someone else selected, so I don't know who it is.

"I've seen the princess of the county." Nian Ruolan rules to see the courtesy.

Wu smiled and said, "I'm not an outsider soon, why be so polite." ”

Nian Ruolan is not harmful, and she can sell her personal favor to Guo Changshi, why not.

"Princess Jun, uh, it's funny......" Nian Ruolan said with her head down, her face full of embarrassment.

She knew that she was in an awkward situation, she had no dowry, and she was unwilling to marry low.

In the end, relying on the face of his brother-in-law, he can become the concubine of the prince, and he may be able to become a lady in the future, with an official name and a place to eat, which is also good.

It's just that......

She was also raised like a young lady, and now she is so wronged to become a concubine, how willing is she in her heart.

Wu smiled and took her hand, looking at her expression, he knew it in his heart, and said with a smile: "Don't be restrained, the ladies will be here in a while, let's have fun." ”

"Yes." Nian Ruolan bowed her head in response.

The Wu family summoned the little eunuch and asked him to sit at the pavilion with Nian Ruolan, at this time, it was enough to be a background version.

The little eunuch took Nian Ruolan to sit in the corner, Cheng Yuanniang had already come over, and she naturally heard the conversation between Wu and Nian Ruolan.

"Looking for such a person to be favored, the princess of the county has a good eye." Cheng Yuanniang said angrily.

Wu said with a smile: "I am in the prime of my youth, where do I need a solid pet." It's just looking for someone to talk to, the princess said this, is it to find someone to be favored? It's really, alas, so young, it's pitiful. ”

"You!!"

A few words raised Cheng Yuan's motherly Qiqi into smoke, and he was about to attack on the spot.

Wu Shi accepted it when he saw it, and turned around and left after speaking.

If she is too embarrassed to mess with Cheng Yuanniang on this kind of day, her face will be dull.

Cheng Yuanniang could bear her anger, and was about to catch up with the Wu family to argue, when she heard another message from the little eunuch guarding the door.

"Miss Wei San, Miss Wei Wu is ......"

Wu and Cheng Yuanniang's eyes turned to the door, and the possible enemy came, so that their group of old enemies let go of their grievances first.

Flattering the official Lord Wei, the six-rank official position, the official position is not big, but it is enough for the daughter to be a concubine of the prince.

This time the side concubine was selected, and the two daughters were shortlisted.

The third lady, Wei Ling, is the daughter of the family. The fifth lady, Wei Yu, is a concubine.

These two young ladies are said to be rare beauty. Although the Wei family is an official family, the official has little money, and the master does not know how to take care of the house, and the economy is becoming increasingly difficult.

It is said that he has not been able to prepare a decent dowry for his daughters, and now he is counting on the selected daughters to compete for luck. If you are successfully selected, you will not only save the dowry, but also generate income for your family.

Among the twelve candidates selected, the sisters are very conspicuous and are the most likely to be shortlisted.

"I've seen the princess, the princess of the county, ......"

Wei Ling and Wei Yu both saluted.

Wu and Cheng Yuanniang looked at the two, and her sister Wei Ling was eighteen years old this year, looking dignified and generous, not at all like a concubine.

is Wei Yu, who is a sister-in-law, may be a relationship two years younger. The world I have seen is limited, but it seems a little childish. However, in terms of appearance, Wei Yu is even higher.

"Excuse me, your sisters are here early." Wu said with a smile, looking at Wei Yu without a trace.

This beauty value is really good.

As for the small family, it doesn't matter if you are a concubine.

"Our sisters were fortunate enough to be selected, so we didn't dare to be careless, so we came early." Wei Ling said.

Her voice is the same as her looks, both dignified and atmospheric.

Almost all over my face was written, I am the main room, four big characters.

"It's very hearty." Cheng Yuanniang said, but glared at Wei Yu.

In her opinion, Wei Ling, who is too dignified and too dignified, is not worth worrying about.

Wei Yu is the opposite, although he is a concubine, he has a fox face, which is very uneasy.

"I ......" Wei Yu was startled and quickly lowered his head.

Wu smiled and said, "I don't know what kind of talent your sisters will have, show it well, and let us see." ”

Wei Yu lowered his head and whispered, "I'm good at Danqing." ”

"Well, I like to watch people draw the most." Wu said with a smile, waving his hand to call the little eunuch, "Go and prepare the painting tools." ”
